2007 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL , STICKY DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANELS THE STICKY DASHBOARD IS CAUSING LOTS OF GLARE THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND FUMES

I OWN A 2007 LEXUS IS 250, I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP EARLY LAST YEAR FOR SOME REPAIRS AND I INQUIRED ABOUT THE CRACKED AND/OR STICKY/MELTING DASHBOARD AND FRONT AND REAR INTERIOR DOOR PANEL , WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST FOR REPAIRS, WHICH IS A SAFET HAZARD BECAUSE THE MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD CREATE A GLARE WHICH MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF I WAS ADDED TO THE LIST. I HAVE EVEN SPOKE WITH THE LEXUS CORP. I RECEIVED AN INITIAL LETTER PERTAINING TO THE PROBLEM WHICH STATED THAT ANOTHER NOTIFICATION LETTER WOULD BE SENT OUT ONCE SUFFICIENT PARTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED AND OBTAINED FOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO THIS COSMETIC CONDITION. NEVER DID GET THE SECOND LETTER AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT ALL REPAIRS HABE BEEN COMPLETED, MEAN WHILE I'M RIDING IN A LEXUS THAT IF I TOUCHED THE DOOR IT DISSOLVES.

HI I HAVE A 07 IS250 SEDAN THE FRONT DASH GET REALLY STICKY DURING THE SUMMER WHEN YOU PARK YOUR CAR OUT SIDE IN THE SUN. DURING THE WINTER OR RAINING SEASON ITS DRY AND PEELS. MY PROBLEM IS WHEN HOT THE DASHBOARD GET STICKY LIKE GLUE

I AM WAITING ON THE FRONT AND REAR INTERIOR DOOR PANELS RECALLS FOR CRACKED AND MELTED AS RESULT OF HEAT OR HUMIDITY.

MELTED INTERIOR, STICKY AND EASILY BREAKABLE DASHBOARD DUE TO HEAT AND HUMIDITY, CRACKED INTERIOR

THE STEERING SYSTEM LOCK AND I CANNOT STEER THE CAR. IT SAYS P/S ON THE DASH PANEL. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE STEERING LOST POWER AND LOCKED 11I COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR.

MY VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE MODELS AFFECTED BY THE STICKY 'MELTING' DASHBOARD ISSUE MADE KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC A FEW YEARS AGO. WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY, SUNLIGHT CREATES A BLINDING REFLECTION ONTO THE WINDSHIELD'MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU. THIS PROBLEM ALMOST RESULTED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT FOR ME TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON WHILE WE WERE DRIVING NORMALLY. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED US THE FIX WILL BE $3400. SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM IS L-SB-0167-08, AND WITH THIS, AIR BAG ON DRIVER SIDE KNEE WILL NOT DEPLOY. ALTHOUGH THIS IS ONLY A SERVICE BULLETIN, IT SEEMS TO ME AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEREFORE, NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE CHARGE OF $3400, WHICH BASICALLY IS 10% OF INITIAL COST OF THE CAR, IS UNREASONABLE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FREQUENT OCCURRENCE REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND HOW THE PROBLEM IS AT THE HARNESS, WHERE CONSUMERS HAVE NO ACCESS TO ON DAILY BASIS. IT WAS REPORTED ONLINE THAT THE HARNESS CABLE IS DESIGNED TO SHORT CAUSING THE HARNESS TO STRETCH, WHICH DAMAGE THE HARNESS OVER TIME. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT TO CAUSE ANY ALTERNATIONS AND REPAIRS TO THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE WHEN HITTING A BRICK WALL HEAD ON. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WAS HIT ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND FISH TAILED HEAD ON INTO WALL AND I SUSTAINED INJURIES.

CAMSHAFT GEAR GONE BAD AT ONLY 85,000 AND LEXUS IS AWARE OF AND DOES NOTHING TO DO A RECALL. THIS IS A 3000,00 FIX.
