2006 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

I NOTICED A BLACK SPOT IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR ONE DAY AND DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT, HOWEVER THE ONE SPOT TURNED INTO MULTIPLE STREAKS. IT'S GETTING HARDER TO SEE OUT OF THE MIRROR WHICH TO ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT AS WELL. I HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALLS ON THE MELTING DASHBOARD AND DOORS AND ENGINE. LEXUS SHOULD REALLY TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL NEW VEHICLES HOWEVER I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THAN I DID WITH MY OTHER CARS. *TR

I NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON WHILE DRIVING. RESTARTING THE CAR SEEMED TO SOLVE THE ISSUE AT FIRST, DAYS WENT BY AND I NEVER SAW THE LIGHT AGAIN. FEW DAYS LATER LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR 4 TIMES BEFORE IT WENT OFF. SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WIRE HARNESS WAS BAD AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE IS LEXUS IS MODELS. THEY HAVE A TSB L-SB-0167-08 ASSIGNED TO THIS. THE SOLUTION TO FIX THIS IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HARNESS WHICH WILL COST UPWARDS OF $3500 AND APPARENTLY THIS IS CAUSED DUE TO THE RESTRAINT ON THE HARNESS AND IT AUTOMATICALLY DISABLES THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY LEXUS CORPORATE AND A SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE APPLICABLE TO THIS HAZARD. THIS IS NOT REGULAR WEAR AND TEAR AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO ALL LEXUS IS MODEL VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE, CHECK VSC LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2006. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL BUT THEY COULDN'T MAKE THE LIGHT COME ON WHEN THEY HOOKED UP THEIR COMPUTERS TO THE COMPUTERS IN MY CAR. I RECENTLY BROUGHT MY CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO PERFORM THE RECALL OF THE DASHBOARD AND SIDE PANELS AND THE PROBLEM FINALLY HAPPENED WHILE THEY HAD THE CAR IN THEIR POSSESSION. THEY TESTED IT AND SAID THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY A RECALL HAD IT NOT EXPIRED. THEY SAID THE REASON IS THAT CARBON BUILDUP IN THE FIRST, THIRD, AND FIFTH CYLINDERS ARE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. WHY DIDN'T THEY DISCOVER THIS WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THAT RECALL THE FIRST TIME? BECAUSE IT DIDN'T EXHIBIT THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME DOESN'T MEAN IT DIDN'T HAVE THE ISSUE. NOW THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE RECALL EXPIRED?! HOW IS THAT FAIR OR SAFE?!?!?!? *TR

MY IS 250 HAD A RECALL/TSB FOR A SEVERE ENGINE PROBLEM THAT INVOLVED REBUILDING THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THEY PERFORMED THIS IN 2013. BARELY 1 YEAR LATER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. 2 WEEKS AGO THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, NOW THEY INFORM ME THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE AND IS GOING TO COST OVER 4000 DOLLARS FOR A FIX THEY DID NOT PERFORM CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 LEXUS IS250, I WANT TO REPORT THAT MY DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS ARE MELTING AND PEELING APART. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS NOW. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, I AM ALSO REPORTING I HAVE THE ISSUE. *TR

TE CAR IS FLOOD INSIDE BECAUSE THERES A AC DRAIN BLOCK AND THIS PRODUCE MELT AND SMELLES AND DA,AGES AND OXIDENT THE FLOOR. AND ELECTRICAL CABLES CAN MAKE A ELECTRICAL FAILURE AMD ACTIVATED THE AIRBAGS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS ARE MELTING,CRACKING AND STICKY AND THE GLARE OFF THE DASHBOARD IS VERY DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I THINK LEXUS SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS REALLY HURT. *TR

VEHICLE (2006 LEXUS IS250 W. 62,000 MILES) WITH AN ILLUMINATED AIRBAG LIGHT DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT LEXUS ACKNOWLEDGES BUT REFUSE TO FIX WITHOUT CHARGING (OUT OF WARRANTY) OWNERS OVER $3,500. THERE IS EVEN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ("TSB") ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, THE TSB NUMBER IS L-SB-0167-08. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS EXPENSE AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED. THIS DIRECTLY COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVE, PASSENGERS AND OTHER PARTIES IN THE EVEN OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING IN THE HOT SUN. IT CAUSES A GLARE WHICH IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR
