2006 LEXUS IS Complaints

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ON MY LEXUS IS 250 HAS DEVELOPED BLACK LINES AND BLACK SPOTS ON THE MIRROR SO SEVERE THAT I CANNOT EVEN SEE OUT OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER LEXUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN YOU CANNOT SEE OUT OF YOUR REAR VIEW MIRROR BECAUSE OF THE BLACK SPOTS AND BLACK LINES YOU NOW ARE SUBJECT TO BLIND SPOTS THAT COULD CAUSE DEADLY ACCIDENTS. THESE DEFECTIVE REAR VIEW MIRRORS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY LEXUS. UPDATED 08/18/14 UPDATED 8/4/2015*JS

2006 LEXUS IS350. DASHBOARDS AND DOOR PANELS ARE STICKY AND MELTING. AS A RESULT DASHBOARD CAUSES A SHINY UNWANTED REFLECTIVE GLARE WHICH REDUCES VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING, POTENTIALLY CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE INCREASING THE CHANCE OR RISK OF A CRASH OR ACCIDENT. FURTHERMORE, THE DOOR PANELS ARE SO STICKY AND SOFT, ONE CANNOT TOUCH THEM WITHOUT SCRATCHING, RIPPING OR DAMAGING THEM. DOOR PANELS ALSO PRODUCE A REFLECTIVE BLINDING GLARE OFF THEM, ALSO PURPOSING A SAFETY HAZARD. MATERIALS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE INTERIOR TRIM IS VERY POOR CAUSING UNWANTED DAMAGE AND SAFETY ISSUES. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE INTERIOR TRIM DECOR ON KNOWN DEFECTIVE DATE AND MODELS WHICH ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. PROBLEMS START TO ARISE SOON AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE LEXUS IS350 AND 250 ARE MELTING. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND LEXUS REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY MELTING WHEN THE CAR IS EXPOSED TO THE DIRECT SUN LIGHT. DASHBOARD LOOKS STICKY UGLY AND DISGUSTING. SINCE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A FEW LONG CRACKS. I DEMAND A RECALL FROM A MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE A DASHBOARD FOR A NEW ONE WITH A BETTER QUALITY. *TR

HAVE 2006 LEXUS IS250 WITH MELTING DASH PANEL THAT BLINDS ME IN THE AM DURING MY EASTWARD COMMUTE AND THEN AGAIN ON MY WESTWARD COMMUTE HOME EVERY DAY. I PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN MARCH 2010 WITH 61000 MILES FROM DEALER WHO, UNKNOWN TO ME, PAINTED OVER MELTING DASH TO HIDE IT BUT BY AUGUST 2010, THE PAINT WORE OFF AND DASH WAS VERY STICKY. I TOOK THE CARE TO MY LOCAL LEXUS DEALER IN BIRMINGHAM AL AND HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO AS WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I NOW LIVE ALONG THE GULF COAST IN FLORIDA AND THIS CONTINUES TO BE A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AND, DESPITE SUNGLASSES, IT IS ALSO A HEALTH HAZARD THAT CAN LEAD TO CATARACTS. I AM A PHYSICIAN AND AM AWARE OF THE RISKS OF REPEATED EXPOSURE TO INTENSE SUN GLARE. THE MATERIALS ARE DEFECTIVE AND LEXUS/TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR ALMOST 8 YEARS AND HAS CHOSEN NOT TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL TO REPLACE THESE DANGEROUS DASHBOARDS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER LEXUS PRODUCT BECAUSE OF THE SHODDY, UNSAFE MATERIALS USED IN CONSTRUCTION AND THE UNCARING CORPORATE ATTITUDE. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

2006 LEXUS IS 350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS WERE TACKY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED, WHEN HE TOUCHED THE DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS, IT FELT LIKE GLUE. *JB

THE MATERIAL ON THE FRONT DASHBOARD AND FRONT DOOR SIDES IS SOFTENING AND MELTING. IT IS EXTREMELY WORSE DURING THE SUMMER SEASON. IT LEAVES AN ADHESIVE TYPE RESIDUE ON EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT. *JS
