2007 LEXUS IS Complaints

MELTING DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS. THIS MAKES THE DASH STICKY AND CAN GIVE OFF ODORS.

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR BECOMES STICKY AND SHINY WHEN UNDER THE SUN. THIS CREATES GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR AND IS SO BRIGHT THAT IT MAKES IT HARD TO SEE THE ROAD DURING THE DAYTIME.

WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY LEXUS THE LIGHT FOR THE SEAT AIRBAG APPEARED. THE DEALER AND LEXUS REFUSE TO FIX THIS UNLESS WE PAY $3600. TO BUT A NEW SEAT. THEY CLAIM THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT I KNOW ITS NOT TRUE BECAUSE THE LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL THEY FIXED THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG.WE CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER ON THE CAR AND CANNOT SELL THE CAR IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION

THT VSC LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. IHAVE BEEN BANNED FROM LEXUS RE LEXUS CORPORATE ARE ALLOWING LINDSEY LEXUS, LEXUS OF ANNAPOLIS, AND LEXUS OF SILVER SPRINGS, TO USE FEAR, INTIMIDATION, OUT RIGHT LIES ,AND DECEPTION , TO SCARE PEOPLE TO REPAIR THINGS ON CARS THAT SIMPLY DO NOT NEED ANY REPAIR AGAINST ARMY VETERAN AND SENOIR CITIZENS. PEOPLE THEY PERCEIVE TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF CARS. WHILE THE LEXUS CERTIFIED PREOWNED WARRANTY WAS IN PLACE NO ONE EVER ASKED TO REPAIR ANYTHING. BECAUSE LEXUS WAS PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS IF ANY. AS SOON AS THE LEXUS CPO WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED EVERYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS A CULTURE OF CORRUPTION. IF YOUR BUSINESS MODEL NEEDS LIES AND CORRUPTION YOU DON'T HAVE A PROFITABLE, MORAL, PROPERLY WORKING BUSINESS MODEL. THIS ALL STARTED WITH THE RACIST TAMMY OF LINDSEY WHO AFTER A BRIEF EXAMINATION OF THE CAR SAID IT NEEDED $8K IN REPAIRS. I WAS SHOCKED. I TOOK THE CAR THERE INITIALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED TO GET THE CAR CHECKED FOR ANY POTENTIAL NEEDED REPLACEMENTS SUCH AS BRAKES, TIRES, BATTERY THINGS THAT JUST SIMPLY WERE OUT OVER TIME. NONE OF THE PROBLEMS THEY SAID WERE THOSE TYPE OF PROBLEMS THAT ARE EASILY IDENTIFIED . RACIST TAMI TOLD ME IF I DIDN'T MAKE THE REPAIRS THE CAR WILL FAIL AND THAT I COULD GET KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY . I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I ASKED FOR PICTURES AND PROOF. THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ANY PROOF. THE SERVICE MANAGER APOLOGIZED FOR SOMETHING AND SAID THAT'S HOW THEY DO BUSINESS. OIL CHANGES ARE NOT ENOUGH BUSINESS FOR THEM AND THAT I WAS NOW CONSIDERED A DEAD CUSTOMER. I LEFT IN MY CAR NEVER REPAIRED ANYTHING THEY SAID. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE CAR DID NOT FAIL. DURING THE EASTER HOLIDAY SEASON NEXT THINKING THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT

MY DASHBOARD HAS A STICKY SUBSTANCE, CAUSING A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD AND BLOCKING MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT OF MY FRONT WINDOW. I RECENTLY LEARNED LEXUS HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS, BUT ONLY CONSIDERED IT A "COSMETIC DEFECT." HOWEVER, PER THE PHOTOGRAPHS, THIS DEFECT IS CAUSING SIGNIFICANT IMPAIRMENT TO MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT NALLEY LEXUS IN SMYRNA, GA SINCE I FIRST OWNED IT AND THE RECALL WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY DEEMED IT "COSMETIC." I HAVE SENT PICTURES TO LEXUS'S CORPORATE OFFICES SHOWING THE BLOCKED VISIBILITY - THE SAME PICTURES I AM ATTACHING TO THIS CLAIM. THEY OFFERED ME $400 TOWARDS THE $2000-2500 REPLACEMENT COST. I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT DATE WHICH THE ISSUE STARTED. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. ONLY IN THE PAST MONTH DID I BEGIN SEARCHING ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS AND FOUND THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN LEXUS/TOYOTA DEFECT. LEXUS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS OF ANY DEFECT AT THEIR DEALERS, NOT JUST ONES THEY DEEM AS SAFETY.

AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND DEALERSHIP DOES NOT THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE.
