TAKATA RECALL I AM HAVING ISSUES REGARDING GETTING THIS FIXED AS WELL AS MY DASHBOARD AND DOORS AS THEY ARE MELTING AND CRACKING AWAY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OVER THE LAST YEAR TO GET THIS RESOLVED I STILL HAVE GOTTEN NO RESPONSE AND IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. IT'S BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO SEE WHEN DRIVING DUE TO THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD AND NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IT IS LITERALLY FALLING APART DAY BY DAY.

TAKATA RECALL PLUS THE INTERIOR DASH AND INTERIOR SIDE DOOR PANELS ARE DETERIORATING. THE FRONT DASH HAS AN OILY SLICK RESIDUE WHICH GLARES INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO OPERATE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I AM ON THE LIST AS #139 AND THEY'VE REPLACED 20 TO DATE. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR YEARS. AT THIS RATE AND IF HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF NEITHER WILL BE REMEDIED IN MY LIFETIME.

APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO MY ENTIRE DASH BOARD AND SIDE PANELS STARTED TO MELT. I HAVE CONTACTED LEXUS AND THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY ARE WAITING ON THE MANUFACTURER FOR PARTS. I LIVE IN MARRERO LOUISIANA WITH EXTREMELY HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURES. THIS HAS BEEN A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN THE SUN HITS MY WINDSHIELD, THE GLARE FROM HITTING THE MELTED DASH COMPLETELY BLINDS ME. I HAVE TO LEAN TO THE RIGHT SIDE JUST TO SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD. IT IS MELTED TO THE POINT OF IT BEING UNTOUCHABLE WITHOUT GETTING STICKY GLUE ON YOUR HANDS. ANYTHING THAT RUBS AGAINST THE SIDE DOOR PANELS CREATES GROOVES AND MARKS BECAUSE IT'S LIKE CLAY. NOW THERES A RECALL WITH THE TAKATA INFLATORS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH REALLY CONCERNS ME BECAUSE ITS AFFECTED BY HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY CAUSES DEGRADING OF THE PART. SINCE MY DASH BOARD IS COMPLETELY MELTED TO THE CONSISTENCY OF HOT GLUE, I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT HELPS WITH MY AIRBAG SITUATION EITHER. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING LEXUS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS WITH NO LUCK. IF I SHOULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE DASH GLARE, I WILL EXPECT TO HAVE THE PRODUCTION COMPANY HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER WITH GETTING THIS MESSAGE ACROSS TO ANYONE AT THIS POINT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS.

7/11/16 SEMINOLE, FLORIDA THE DASHBOARD OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE FRONT AND REAR SIDE DOOR PANELS ARE MELTING,CRACKING AND DETERIORATING WHICH CAUSES DENTS IN THE MATERIAL TO THE TOUCH. ALL OF THE MATERIAL IS DISCOLORED AND STICKY OR MELTING. STICKY STUFF GETS ON MY CLOTHES. LEXUS IS A LUXURY CAR AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DICTATED BY THE NHTS ASAP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THIS IS WHY THE NHTSA NEEDS TO DEMAND LEXUS INITIATES A OFFICIAL RECALL FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH THE MELTING DASHBOARD AND SIDE DOOR PANEL ISSUES.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A STICKY FILM. IT ALSO HAS BECOME REFLECTIVE RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY SEEING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD THUS MAKING DRIVING DANGEROUS IN BRIGHT, SUNNY WEATHER. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT RECENTLY, THE DASH HAS BECOME MORE REFLECTIVE.

THE DASHBOARD OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE FRONT AND REAR SIDE DOOR PANELS ARE MELTING,CRACKING AND DETERIORATING WHICH CAUSES DENTS IN THE MATERIAL TO THE TOUCH. ALL OF THE MATERIAL IS DISCOLORED AND STICKY OR MELTING. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DICTATED BY THE NHTSA ASAP. LEXUS NOTIFIED ME OF THE PROBLEM ALMOST A YEAR AGO, AND WHEN I CALLED THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE ANOTHER 9 TO 10 MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AND SIDE DOOR PANELS. SO, IT WOULD BE OVER A 1 OR MORE YEARS SINCE THE ORIGINAL LEXUS NOTICE THAT THEY MAYBE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THIS IS WHY THE NHTSA NEEDS TO DEMAND LEXUS INITIATES A OFFICIAL RECALL FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH THE MELTING DASHBOARD AND SIDE DOOR PANEL ISSUES
