2007 LEXUS IS Complaints

MY 2007 LEXUS IS250 HAS ISSUES WITH THE WINDSHIELD MOLDING. THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE ARE CHIPPING AWAY AND CRACKING ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS DUE TO THE SUN AND THE PART DOES NOT WITHSTAND HEAT CAUSING IT TO DRY WHERE IT BECOMES BRITTLE. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. *TR

MY 2007 LEXUS IS250 HAS A STICKY MELTING DASHBOARD AND STICKY DOOR THAT ARE A NUISANCE AND AFFECT MY DRIVING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND LEXUS USED A HORRIBLE MATERIAL FOR IT. *TR

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A 16 YEAR OLD DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS 250. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON A DARK ROAD, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS SONIC ABOUT THIS DASHBOARD. MY WARRANTY WAS VALID MY FIRST SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, PICTURES WERE TAKEN BY A LEXUS REP AND SENT TO CORPORATE. AT THAT TIME CORPORATE DENIED COMPLAINT I PERSONALLY CALLED AND A REP TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED CALLS IN REGARDS TO MELTING STICKY DASHBOARD AND THEY HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN HOT HUMID CLIMATE. I WAS IN DISBELIEF THAT THE REP TOLD THAT TO ME. I ASKED THE REP WHO MAKES A CAR BASED ON CLIMATE WEATHER I LIVE IN ALABAMA AND IN THE SUMMER WITH THE SUN BEAMING ON DASHBOARD CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT. SAFETY SAFETY HAS BEEN MY MAIN CONCERN THIS IS DANGEROUS. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY WORKED PAY 20% THEN A COUPLE DAYS LATER SAID 20% ONLY TOWARDS PARTS. *TR

DASHBOARD AND DOOR MATERIAL MELT/ARE MELTING. IF THE CAR IS NOT IN THE GARAGE THE DASHBOARD/DOOR MATERIAL WILL BE STICKY TO THE TOUCH. DASHBOARD AREA HAS MELTED AND REFLECTS ON THE MIRROR AS A GLARE. ISSUE CONTINUES TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND THE LINING OF THE DOORS IS PEELING. THIS AFFECTS THE DOORS WHICH HAVE THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE DASHBOARD.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS250. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V647000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND WHEN THE SUN SHINES IT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD COMPROMISING MY VISIBILITY CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. THE DOOR PANELS ARE ALSO MELTING. I CANNOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE IN DANGER. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET RESOLUTION FROM LEXUS BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR YEARS. THIS ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR TOO LONG FOR LEXUS TO HELP ME OUT BUT WITH NO SUCCESS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ANOTHER DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. ....UPDATED 02-03-15 *BF UPDATED 02/18/15*JB

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED WITH A LIQUID APPEARANCE. WHEN THE SUN IS HIGH IN THE SKY, A REFLECTION CAUSES A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. OFTEN IT IS NECESSARY TO MOVE MY HEAD OVER AROUND THE GLARE TO SEE WHATS DIRECTLY IN FRONT. THE DEALER SO FAR HAS JUST STATED WE SHOULD GET THE DASH REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE, BUT THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON A LUXURY CAR AFTER ONLY 5 OR 6 YEARS. WE MAY BE FORCED TO DO THIS TO KEEP THE CAR SAFE. WE HAVE HEARD THERE ARE SOME CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS STARTING IN SOME STATES. WE MAY BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN ONE OF THESE TO GET THE DASH REPLACED. *TR
