MY DASH HAS CRACKED ALL OVER THE COMPLETE DASH , NOT A SMALL PART , ALL OF IT . I WAS NOTIFIED A YEAR AGO AND IT IS STILL NOT REPLACED . YOU SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS TO GO THIS LONG AND THEN AN ISSUE WITH AN AIRBAG CAME IN THE MAIL AND IT TOO HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED ! NOW THE NEWS SAYS I LIVE IN A DAMP AND HUMID AREA SO DOES THIS MEAN I AM IN MORE DANGER ? WHY ARE THEY NOT REPAIRING THESE PROBLEMS AND WHY IS THE NHTSA NOT HELPING US?

RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LEXUS ON 11/20/2015 AND SPOKE TO LEXUS OF SAN ANTONIO, TX.,NORTH CENTRAL PARK. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD HAD TO BE REPLACE DUE TO A FAULT OF COMPANY'S DEFECT EFFECTING THE AIRBAGS. I HAVE SINCE THEN RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER, AS IT WAS STATED, ON THE FIRST LETTER THAT A REPLACEMENT WOULD COME IN TO REPLACE THE OLD DEFECTIVE ONE. SINCE THEN LEXUS OF SAN ANTONIO HAS STATED, AS OF THIS MORNING, THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THEM AT 2 A WEEK AS PARTS COME IN. THERE ARE 100 VEHICLES IN FRONT OF MINE!!! IF THERE IS A TIME FRAME FOR REPLACEMENTS, I DON'T THINK MINE WOULD BE REPLACED EVER. STARTING FROM TODAY, THERE WILL BE 50 WEEKS TILL I GET CALLED IN. IS THERE GOING TO BE A SOLUTION FOR THIS REPLACEMENT? THANKS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
