2006 LEXUS IS Complaints

THE DASHBOARD AND THE SIDE PANELS HAVE MELTED AND ARE STICKY AND UNSIGHTLY. THESE AREAS ARE DECOMPOSING. *TR

THIS CARS DASH AND DOORS ARE VERY SPONGY. THEY COME OFF WITH JUST A FINGERNAIL TOUCH. *TR

CAR DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY MELTING. THE SURFACE IS NOW STICKY WHICH REFLECTS A GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING SAFE VIEWING FOR DRIVING. REARVIEW MIRROR HAS BLACK LINES OBSTRUCTING SAFE VIEWING FOR DRIVING. LEXUS IS AWARE OF BOTH ISSUES WHICH APPEAR TO BE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECTS BUT REFUSES TO RECALL. CONSUMERS ARE EXPECTED TO BEAR COSTS TO REPAIR THESE MANUFACTURERS DEFECTS UPWARDS $3000. A DASHBOARD SHOULD NEVER MELT. *TR

MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM SCREEN STOPPED WORKING WHILE 1000 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE SCREEN GOING OUT WAS THE FACT THAT ALL OF THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS ARE RAN THROUGH THAT SAME UNIT. WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ADJUST MY TEMPERATURE IN THE VEHICLE I AM NOT ABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IN TIMES WHEN IT MAY FOG UP. *TR

THE DASH AND BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR PANELS LOOK AS IF THEY ARE MELTING. EVERY TIME I TOUCH THE DOOR MY FINGERNAIL CHIPS OFF ANOTHER PIECE OF THE SOFT MATERIAL, MAKING IT LOOK AS THOUGH AN ANIMAL WAS CLAWING AT IT. ON REALLY HOT SUNNY DAYS THE DASH CAN BECOME SOMEWHAT SHINY OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW AT CERTAIN ANGLES AND LIGHTING. DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING. *TR

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND TOP SECTION OF THE FRONT DOOR PANELS IN MY 2006 LEXUS IS250 ARE BASICALLY MELTING. THE CONSISTENCY HAS DETERIORATED SO DRASTICALLY THAT THE DASH IS SHINY, STICKY AND COVERED IN SMALL NICKS AND SCRATCHES. THE DASH IS SO SOFT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH LEAVES A PERMANENT SCAR! EFFORTS TO CLEAN OR TREAT THE DASH/DOOR PANELS ARE USELESS - ANYTHING I USE JUST STICKS. MY CLOTHES HAVE BEEN RUINED BY BLACK STICKY RESIDUE FROM SIMPLY COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE DOOR PANELS. THE SHEEN FROM THE MELTING DASH REFLECTS DIRECTLY ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AT SUCH AN ANGLE THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE IN SOME LIGHTING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ERROR LEXUS REFUSES TO CORRECT. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

THE DASH AND ARMRESTS HAS BEEN MELTING AND IS EASILY MARRED OR CHIPPED. I'VE ADDED UV PROTECTION FILM TO CURB THE EFFECT BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. PLEASE HELP US THERE ARE MANY WITH THIS ISSUE AND MANY DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE. *TR

DASHBOARD IS DETERIORATING, MELTING, AND BECOMING VERY STICKY AND SHINY CAUSING GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. DOOR PANELS ARE ALSO BREAKING DOWN. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING IN THIS TEXAS HEAT. ONE DAY I GOT INTO MY CAR DURING THE HOT AFTERNOON, THIS WOULD BE AN AFTER WHEN WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE. MY FINGERNAIL HIT THE DASHBOARD AND TOOK A SMALL CHUNK OUT OF IT. MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD FELT VERY SOFT AND STICKY. ALSO THIS SAME MATERIAL IS ON MY SIDE DOORS AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT'S MELTED SOME AND MY FINGER NAILS HAVE KNICKED THIS MATERIAL AS I TRY TO GRAB THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR (DRIVERS SIDE). NOW THAT IT'S SO HOT MY DASHBOARD AND SIDE DOORS FEEL VERY STICKY AND SOFT. THEY ARE EVEN TURNING A MILKY WHITE/GREY, WHICH I GUESS IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SUN. *TR

I HAVE A LEXUS IS AND THE DASH AND THE SIDE DOOR PANELS GET MOLTEN OR STICKY. THIS CAUSES SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES SINCE I AM NOT SURE OF THE CHEMICALS THAT ARE EMITTED AND IF THEY ARE CARCINOGENIC. KIDS GET THIS ALL OVER THEM AND ITS HARD TO GET THIS STICKY MATERIAL FROM THEIR HANDS. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS MATERIAL IS POISONOUS. *TR
