2006 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

CRACKED,STICKY SHINY DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANELS,THE CAR STILL PARKING ON MY LOTE

WE HAD OUR LEXUS SMOGGED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON WHEN WE PICKED IT UP. WE TOOK IT TO THE LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS. $3500 TO REPAIR. THIS IS NOT A COMPONENT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO FAIL, SO LEXUS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIX.

AS I WAS ABOUT TO PARK THE CAR ON A CITY STREET. THE ELECTRICAL STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. IT BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT COULD BE THE CONNECTORS OF THE ELECTRICAL STEERING CAUSE THE SUDDEN LOSS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS IS 250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V340000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I AM THE RECIPIENT OF A MINIMUM OF (2) WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM NOTICES - ZLD REGARDING ANY CRACKED AND/OR STICKY/MELTING DASHBOARDS AND FRONT & REAR INTERIOR DOOR PANELS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED TO ME THAT THE PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER YET I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN 20 MONTHS FOR THIS REPAIR. THE MATERIAL IS NOW FALLING OFF MY CAR WHEN THE DOORS CLOSE AND IS ALSO COMING OFF ON MY HANDS AND CLOTHING. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO STATE MONTH AFTER MONTH THAT I AM 13TH IN LINE FOR THE DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MOVEMENT FROM THE 13TH POSITION, AGAIN, AFTER MONTHS IN THE SAME POSITION. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THERE IS NO POSITION ON THE DOOR PANELS AS THEY'VE RECEIVED NO MATERIALS TO DATE. HOW MUCH LONGER WILL I HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE THE REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED? I AM QUITE CONCERNED THAT THE SECONDARY COVERAGE (EXTENSION) PROVIDED IN THE LETTER IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AT WHICH POINT I WILL BE STUCK WITH THE MESS AND THE REPAIR COST.

I RECEIVED A LEXUS SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON 7/18/16 REGARDING THE TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR (NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340). THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. DEGRADED PROPELLANT CAN CAUSE INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MY CAR IS USED TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY, WHICH INCLUDES MY 6 MONTH OLD SON. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE A LOANER UNTIL THE AIRBAG PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. ALSO, WE LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE TEMPERATURES REACH UP TO 100 DEGREES IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS TO DEGRADE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS IS 250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBARD MELTED AND BECAME STICKY AND SHINY. AS A RESULT, THE REFLECTION OF THE SUNLIGHT CAUSED A GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE GLARE DISTORTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

IS 250 DASH HAS MELTED AND CREATES HARSH GLARE AND REFLECTS INTO THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE VIEW OUT THE FRONT (SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURE IN WHICH THE GOOEY SURFACE OF THE DASH IS BLOCKING THE VIEW OF OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD) WHEN DRIVING EAST OR WEST TOWARDS THE SUN MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM IS WORST ON HOT DAYS WHEN THE DASH BECOMES MORE TACKY, GOOEY, AND REFLECTIVE. THE DASH ALSO SEEMS TO OFF GAS AND CREATE A HAZE THAT BUILDS ON THE WINDSHIELD. TOYOTA IS REPLACING SOME OFF THE DASHES AND INTERIORS THROUGH A "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" BUT WILL NOT REPLACE MINE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN A WRECK, HAD AN INSURANCE CLAIM, AND BEEN REPAIRED. THIS VOIDS THEIR "ENHANCEMENT". THE ISSUE IS PRESENT ON MANY LEXUS VEHICLES, THOUGH AND CAN BE A HAZARD. THEY WILL NOT FIX MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS NOT YET A RECALL. I AM WORRIED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE VEHICLE WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS IS 250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD AN ABNORMAL ODOR AND OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE PANEL OF ALL THE VEHICLE DOORS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANELS LEAKED MORE OIL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THERE WAS ONE INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE TWO YEAR OLD CHILD TOUCHED THE OIL AND RUBBED IT ON THE FACE, WHICH RESULTED IN SEVERE COUGHING AND VOMITING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

CAR HAS A RECALL BUT I DO NOT THINK THEY WERE DONE BY DEALERSHIP HISTORY RECORD HAS BEEN PURGE. A LOT OF SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.
