2007 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

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

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.

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

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

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

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
