2007 LEXUS IS Complaints

APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD AND THE DOORS STARTED TO GET VERY STICKY. WHEN I INQUIRE ABOUT THIS WITH THE DEALER IN MARCH OF 2012 I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT MY OWN COST. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AS THE DASHBOARD/DOORS ARE MELTING AND ARE ALSO CRACKING. *JS

THE DASH BOARD STARTED MELTING DURING THE SUMMER. I APPROACHED LEXUS WHILE I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY ADVISED THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. *JS

MY CAR DASH BOARD AND SIDE PANELS ARE BEGINNING TO MELT. SINCE THIS IS HAPPENING EXACTLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASH BOARD, IT IS HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AT TIMES DUE TO HAVING A REFLECTION. *JS

MINIMUM VISIBILITY BECAUSE OF MELTING DASHBOARD. THE GLARE FROM THE SUN DOES NOT LET YOU SEE. *JS

ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 2012, I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT MY DASH BOARD WAS STICKY. I ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN IT BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT KEPT GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE INSIDE OF MY CAR IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD AND THE BLACK PANELING ON THE DOORS IS MELTING. WHEN DRIVING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. *JS

I HAVE A 2007 LEXUS IS 250. I'VE HAD IT FOR 7 YEARS NOW AND LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. BUT ABOUT 2-3 YEARS AGO, THE VINYL INTERIOR STARTING GETTING STICKY. IT'S GOTTEN WORSE THAT IF YOU TOUCH IT THE COLOR COMES OFF ON YOUR FINGERS. I HAVE A BIG SHINY AREA ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH REFLECTS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND MAKES VISIBILITY DIFFICULT. I KNOW THERE'S OTHERS HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THAT HAVE GONE TO LEXUS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE IT, THAT IT'S NOT COVERED. *JS

THE SIDE PANELS AND DASHBOARD WERE MELTING AWAY AND FALLING IN PIECES. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND AFTER A LONG FIGHT, THEY SAID THAT LEXUS AGREED TO REPLACE TO DEFECTIVE PARTS, EVEN OUT OF WARRANTY BUT I HAVE TO PAY LABOUR FOR OVER $ 1000.00 *JS

I HAVE A 2007 LEXUS IS250 IN WHICH THE DASHBOARD AND SIDE DOOR MOLDING ARE MELTING CAUSING THE RUBBER TO COME OFF THE DASHBOARD. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM LEXUS OWNERS THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. INVESTIGATOR REPORTER FOR CHANNEL 6 IN MIAMI HAS FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINS TOYOTA AND LEXUS TO MAKE THIS A MANDATORY RECALL TO FIX THIS ITEMS,TOYOTA IS AWARE BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARDS UNLESS WE PAY $900.00 FOR THE REPAIRS. IF THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE THEY NEED TO FIX IT INSTEAD OF CHARGING THE CONSUMER FOR THERE MISTAKE. *JS

I NOTICE MY CAR DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR ABOUT 2-3 YEARS NOW, IT IS NOW CREATING A OBSTRUCTION WHILE DRIVING IN THE DAYTIME BECAUSE IT CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT'S LITERALLY A STICKY MESS, THE DYE IN THE DASHBOARD IF TOUCHED TRANSFERS ON THE FABRIC IN CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP, THE ONLY I OPTION HAVE IS TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AT MY COST. THROUGH MY RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY CARS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS ISSUE. I APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS VERY SERIOUS MATTER. *TR
