MY 2006 IS 250 71,000 MILES HAS BLACK SPOTS AND DISCOLORATIONS ON MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. IT IS ALMOST AS IF SOMEONE SPRAYED IT WITH SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T COME OFF, OR PEELED A STICKER OFF, DEFINITELY IT ISN'T CLEAR AND WON'T CLEAN.PART 571 < 571.110571.112 > SUBPART B - FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS 571.111 STANDARD NO. 111; REARVIEW MIRRORS. S1. SCOPE. THIS STANDARD SPECIFIES REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PERFORMANCE AND LOCATION OF REARVIEW MIRRORS. S2. PURPOSE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS STANDARD IS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DEATHS AND INJURIES THAT OCCUR WHEN THE DRIVER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CLEAR AND REASONABLY UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW TO THE REAR.

I AM THE RECIPIENT OF A MINIMUM OF (2) WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM NOTICES - ZLD REGARDING ANY CRACKED AND/OR STICKY/MELTING DASHBOARDS AND FRONT & REAR INTERIOR DOOR PANELS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED TO ME THAT THE PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER YET I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN 20 MONTHS FOR THIS REPAIR. THE MATERIAL IS NOW FALLING OFF MY CAR WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE AND IS ALSO COMING OFF ON MY HANDS AND CLOTHING. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO STATE MONTH AFTER MONTH THAT I AM 13TH IN LINE FOR THE DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MOVEMENT FROM THE 13TH POSITION, AGAIN, AFTER MONTHS IN THE SAME POSITION. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THERE IS NO POSITION ON THE DOOR PANELS AS THEY'VE RECEIVED NO MATERIALS TO DATE. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL I HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE THE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED? I AM QUITE CONCERNED THAT THE SECONDARY COVERAGE (EXTENSION) PROVIDED IN THE LETTER IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AT WHICH POINT I WILL BE STUCK WITH THE MESS AND THE REPAIR COST.

I RECEIVED A LEXUS SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON 7/18/16 REGARDING THE TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR (NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340). THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. DEGRADED PROPELLANT CAN CAUSE INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MY CAR IS USED TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDES MY 6 MONTH OLD SON. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE A LOANER UNTIL THE AIRBAG PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. ALSO, WE LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH UP TO 100 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS TO DEGRADE.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AT AN EXTREMELY FAST PACE. I CAN BARELY SEE IF THE SUN IS SHINING IN MY CAR THE RIGHT WAY, DASH AND SIDE PANELS ARE MELTING, CALLED LEXUS THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
