2007 LEXUS IS Complaints

DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY MELTING. LOOKS SHINY AND IS STICKY TO TOUCH. LEAVES BLACK RESIDUE ON FINGERS AND CREATES A DANGEROUS GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. *TR

THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING AND IS STICKY AND SHINY. IT CREATES A BLIND SPOT WHEN THE SUN HITS IT JUST RIGHT. I CONTACTED MY LEXUS DEALER IN AUSTIN AND THEY SAY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY WANT US TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DON'T THINK A DASHBOARD SHOULD BE MELTING AND TURNING GLOSSY. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DEFECT THAT POSES A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAD ISSUES WHEN THE CAR STARTS-UP. IT MAKE A LOUD NOISE EVERY MORNING GOING TO WORK AND ALSO THE A/C MAKES NOISES WHEN ITS ON. TOOK IT TO LEXUS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND ALSO SAY THAT THEY FOUND SOME TYPE OF GARAGE IN THE AIR FILTER. THE NOISE IS STILL THERE, ITS A LOUD THUMP AS IF METAL TO METAL IMPACT. LIKE A STEEL HAMMER HITTING ANOTHER STEEL HAMMER. *TR

THE HEADLIGHT LIGHT BULB IS OUT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, BUT WORKS PROPERLY WHEN NOT OVERHEATED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS 250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED. THE FAILURE CREATED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING IN THE DAYTIME. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

THE DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS OF MY 2007 LEXUS IS250 CONTAIN A RUBBER LIKE MATERIAL THAT HAS BECOME STICKY AS IF IT IS MELTING AWAY. IT HAS BECOME EXTREMELY FRAGILE TO THE TOUCH, LEAVING YOUR FINGER IMPRINT OR EVEN A CHUNKS TO COME OFF. WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY, I NOW HAVE A REFLECTION OF THE WHOLE DASHBOARD ON MY WINDSHIELD WHICH IMPAIRS MY VISIONS AS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT WITHOUT SUNGLASSES ON. THIS HAS BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND FOR THE PRICE TAGS THAT COME WITH THESE VEHICLES, WE SHOULD ALL BE GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE IT COST PEOPLE THEIR LIVES. *TR

THE DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANEL ARE DISINTEGRATING . THEY ARE STICKY AND WHEN TOUCHED IT GETS INDENTED OR THE PIECES JUST COME OFF... *TR

DASH IS MELTING CAUSING A GLARE MAKING IT HARD TO SEE. I WAS VERY UPSET WHEN I PURCHASED MY LEXUS IS350 AND SAW THE DASH STARTING TO MELT. LEXUS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A LUXURY CAR BUT I FIND IT HARD TO BE TRUE WITH THE LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL WHEN IT COMES TO THE DASH AND DOOR PANEL MELTING. I AM ONLY 5'0 TALL AND NO MATTER IF I RAISE MY SEAT UP DOWN BACK FORWARD THE MELTED DASH MAKES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY HARD TO ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ON SUNNY DAYS. I DRIVE 100 MILES FOR WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK AND I FIND MYSELF OFTEN HAVING TO DUCK DOWN NEAR THE STEERING WHEEL JUST SO I CAN SEE OUT MY WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH AND TOOK CARE OF COMPLETELY. TOYOTA DO YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE TO CALL MY CHILD WHEN I WRECK MY CAR DUE TO A "MELTING DASH" CAUSING A TERRIBLE GLARE MAKING IT HARD TO SEE AND DRIVE?? *TR

MY DASH HAS BEEN MELTING FOR A LONG TIME NOW, IT FIRST STARTED LIGHTLY THEN WOULD DRY UP BUT THE LAST TWO SUMMERS IT HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT OR WHEN LIGHTS APPROACH AT NIGHT, GLARE FROM THE SHINE ON DASH PAD REFLECTS UP ON WINDSHIELD CREATING LARGE REFLECTIVE AREA. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL IMAGES RECENTLY THAT SHOW THE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS THIS CAUSES & IN THE IMAGES ALTHOUGH VERY CLEAR THAT IT BLOCKS SIGHT... YOU CAN NOT TELL THE SEVERITY THAT IS ACTUALLY PRESENT WHEN TRAVELING AND IT FLASHES ACROSS CERTAIN ANGLES & SOMETHING PULLS OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR I AM TOTALLY BLINDED COUPLE SECONDS. ENOUGH TIME USUALLY HAVE HIT BRAKES OR SWERVE BECAUSE CAN NOT SEE AT ALL OR IF ABOUT TOO HIT ANYTHING OR NOT, LUCKILY SO FAR NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BUT IF SOMEONE NOT USED TOO THIS CONDITION DROVE MY CAR THEY WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT NO QUESTION. I HAVE LOANED THE CAR TOO FRIENDS AND BROUGHT BACK INSTANTLY BECAUSE AFRAID TOO DRIVE LIKE THIS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSING A HUGE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE. ALSO THE MATERIAL ON THE DOOR PANEL IS LIKE CLAY. YOUR NAILS DIG IN. *TR
