2007 LEXUS IS Complaints

THE DASHBOARD IN MY LEXUS IS250 APPEARS TO BE MELTING. THE DASHBOARD BECOMES EXTREMELY STICKY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SUNLIGHT. AS A RESULT OF THE INFERIOR QUALITY, A SHINE IS BEGINNING TO APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH REFLECTS ON TO THE WINDSHIELD WHEN IN THE SUN. THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AND IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE AS TIME PASSES. *TR

FOR SEVERAL YEARS DASH AND OTHER RUBBER PARTS OF INTERIOR ARE MELTING AND FORMING A GUMMY/GLUE TYPE SUBSTANCE THAT CAUSES PERMANENT DAMAGE TO APPEARANCE AND STICKS TO ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT INCLUDING DAMAGING CLOTHING. LEXUS MADE ME PAY FOR LABOR TO REPLACE DASH BUT REFUSED TO REPLACE DOOR COMPONENTS SAYING IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX AND THEY INSISTED I PAY FOR THE ENTIRE COST OF REPLACING ALL 4 DOORS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT CAR OWNERS HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT IS CAUSED BY USING A RUBBER THAT DEGRADES OVER TIME AND BECOMES A GOOEY SUBSTANCE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CAR WITH 77,000 MILES ON IT. IN JULY OF 2011, I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS GETTING STICKY AND SHINY AND HAD THE START OF A SMALL CRACK IN IT. OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, THE CRACK GOT HUGE AND SPREAD. AT THIS POINT I CAN ACTUALLY PEEL PARTS OF THE DASH OFF BY HAND. THE PLASTIC ON THE DASH LOOKS LIKE IT IS MELTING, IT IS SHINY AND STICKY TO THE TOUCH. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE WITH MY CAR IS THE RUBBER GASKETS IN ALL THE WINDOWS ARE MELTING. THE SEAL HASN'T BEEN COMPROMISED YET BUT IT LEAVES NASTY STREAKS ON THE WINDOWS WHEN I GO TO ROLL THEM DOWN. I NEVER HAVE CLEAN WINDOWS. I DO LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IT GETS SUPER HOT HERE BUT THE OTHER CARS (NON-LEXUS) THAT WE OWN DO NOT HAVE EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS. I REALLY LOVED MY LEXUS WHEN WE PURCHASED IT, BUT I AM SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN IT NOW, AND THE FACT THAT BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THEY WON'T COVER IT BEING REPAIRED. I'M NOT EVEN SURE IT;S WORTH IT AT THIS POINT. UNFORTUNATELY, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER LEXUS EVER AGAIN. *TR

DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE IS SLOWLY MELTING OFF CAUSING A HAZARDOUS GLARE WHEN DRIVING. THE GLARE INTERFERES WITH VISION WHILE DRIVING. WITH THE DASHBOARD MELTING I AM NOW QUESTIONING WHETHER THE AIR BAGS ARE IN FULL FUNCTION OR IF THEY ARE FAULTY. THE DOOR PANELS ARE STAINING CLOTHING AND HANDBAGS AS WELL. LEXUS HAS SAID THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES AND THEY ARE AWARE BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST WITH THIS ISSUE. DRIVING THIS CAR DURING DAYLIGHT IS BECOMING DANGEROUS. *TR

MY INTERIOR IS MELTED AND HAS STAINED AND RUINED NEW EXPENSIVE CLOTHING . ITS ALSO REFLECTING SUN FROM DASHBOARD TO WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE ON SUNNY DAYS. ITS HORRIBLE BECAUSE THE REST OF MY CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND WELL KEPT CONDITION. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS WILL STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK, BUT AT OTHER TIMES BOTH WILL NOT WORK. MANY TIMES ROTATING THE HEADLIGHT CONTROL ON THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT STEM TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN TURNING THE CONTROL BACK TO THE ON POSITION WILL CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. OTHER TIMES I MUST PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN TURN ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE HEADLIGHTS TO WORK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT OCCURS AT NIGHT. *TR

FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN VERY STICKY IN THE DAYTIME WHICH CAUSES A VERY BRIGHT REFLECTION / GLARE. THE SIDE DOOR PANELS ALSO ARE LIKE DETERIORATING AND EASILY SCRATCH AND PEEL OFF. THE VEHICLE IS VERY STICKY AND LEAVES A BLACK / DIRTY MARK ON YOUR HAND IF TOUCHED.

DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING AS WELL AS DOORS AFTER 3 DAYS FROM WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM LEXUS OF ORLANDO, TOOK IT BACK AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ASSIST CAUSE CAR WAS OFF WARRANTY BY 4K MILES, IF I KNEW THIS WAS HAPPENING I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT IT. *JS

DASH BOARD MELTING AND DOOR PANELS GETTING SOFT. THE DASH REFLECTS THE SUN FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND IT CAUSES THIS REFLECTION SO IT SOMETIMES BECOMES HARD TO SEE. *JS

PURCHASED THE 2007 LEXUS IS 250 USED IN MARCH, 2014. WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, NOTICED THE DASHBOARD AND INTERIOR DOOR PANELS GET VERY SHINY AND STICKY (I.E. MELTING) WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE AND THE INTERIOR CAR TEMPERATURE RISES. *JS
