2006 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

BOTH DOOR PANELS ON MY 2006 LEXUS IS 250 ARE MELTING AND PRODUCING THE STICK STICKY BLACK TAR LOOKING STUFF I GUESS IT'S FROM MELTING AND THE ODOR FROM THAT IS SOMETIMES SO STRONG WHEN I'M ON LONG RIDES THAT IT MAY GIVES ME HEADACHES MY DAUGHTER HAS BURNT HER ARM BECAUSE THE DOOR PANELS ARE SO HOT TO TOUCH AND MELTING AND THIS IS USUALLY ALL YEAR ROUND BECAUSE OF THE SUN HITTING IT.

DASHBOARD AND ALL RUBBER INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE GETS HOT AND STICKY. MY HAND AND NAILS SINK INTO THE RUBBER AND GETS HOW WHEN THERE IS DIRECT SUNLIGHT ON THE DASH AND ALONG THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS. ALL OF THE RUBBER PARTS CRACK

TAKATA RECALL - AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. THEY REPLACED RECALLED INFLATOR. LIGHT IS STILL ON. DEALER NOW SAYS IT'S A WIRING HARNESS. ABOUT $2500 TO REPLACE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON INTERNET, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN YA BEEN ISSUED TO THE DEALERS AND COVERED BY WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS OR 70,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 88,200 MILES. MOST PEOPLE THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM IN THEIR OWN HAVE SAID THIS IS CONNECTION ISSUE FROM THE HARNESS CONNECTORS TO THE IGNITERS. THEY ARE VIBRATING LOOSE. I AM DISAPPOINTED LEXUS DOESN'T OFFER MORE SUPPORT ON THIS ISSUE AS IT'S SEVERELY HAZARDOUS FOR MANY IN THIS SITUATION. IF IT'S A CONNECTION ISSUE, IT'S RIDICULOUS DEALERS ARE CHARGING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AN ENTIRE HARNESS. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE?

BOUGHT CAR MAYBE TWO WEEKS AGO FIRST DAY FUEL LINE BUSTED, THIRD DAY SUSPENSION AND TIRES CAME APART, MY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD ARE MOSTLY FRIED AND WORN OUT COULD CAUSE FOR, BRAKE LIGHTS UNCONTROLLABLE

TOYOTA/LEXUS IN EARLY 2015 STATED IT WOULD EXTEND ITS WARRANTY FOR THE CONSOLES (FRONT AND SIDES) OF CERTAIN MODELS INCLUDING LEXUS IS 250 BECAUSE THEY ARE STICKY AND MELTING AND DISINTEGRATING/CRUMBLING. WE STARTING 2018 SOON MAKING IT 3 YEARS OF WAITING FOR THESE TO BE REPLACED. WE RECEIVE A BRICK WALL FROM DEALERS AND CORPORATE LEXUS WHEN WE ASK ABOUT IT--ALWAYS SOME GENERAL RESPONSE ABOUT BACK UP ORDERS AND TRYING AND ETC. IT SEEMS MAYBE US CONSUMERS COULD USE THE ASSISTANCE OF NHTSA TO OVERSEE THIS PROCESS AND ENSURE WE RECEIVE SAFE CONSOLES IN A TIMELY WAY. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE STATE OF THE SIDE CONSOLES. THE FRONT HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT WAITING GOING ON 3 YEARS FOR SIDE PANELS. THANK YOU. *TR

VSC AND ENGINE LIGHT ARE ON. INSIDE OF CAR SMELLS LIKE EXHAUST IS COMING THROUGH. STEERING SEEMS TO BE IMPAIRED

TAKATA RECALL. MY LIGHT AIRBAG LIGHT IS TURNED ON AND WILL NOT GO AWAY FROM DASHBOARD. THE DOOR PANELING IS FALLING APART JUST BY NORMAL USE.

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

TAKATA RECALL. I AM UNABLE TO CONSCIOUSLY ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THE FEAR OF INJURY FROM A DEPLOYED AIRBAG. I THEREFORE WILL ONLY ALLOW PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS.
