2007 Lexus Is

THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING AND IS STICKY AND SHINY. IT CREATES A BLIND SPOT WHEN THE SUN HITS IT JUST RIGHT. I CONTACTED MY LEXUS DEALER IN AUSTIN AND THEY SAY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY WANT US TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DON'T THINK A DASHBOARD SHOULD BE MELTING AND TURNING GLOSSY. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DEFECT THAT POSES A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAD ISSUES WHEN THE CAR STARTS-UP. IT MAKE A LOUD NOISE EVERY MORNING GOING TO WORK AND ALSO THE A/C MAKES NOISES WHEN ITS ON. TOOK IT TO LEXUS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND ALSO SAY THAT THEY FOUND SOME TYPE OF GARAGE IN THE AIR FILTER. THE NOISE IS STILL THERE, ITS A LOUD THUMP AS IF METAL TO METAL IMPACT. LIKE A STEEL HAMMER HITTING ANOTHER STEEL HAMMER. *TR

MY DASH HAS BEEN MELTING FOR A LONG TIME NOW, IT FIRST STARTED LIGHTLY THEN WOULD DRY UP BUT THE LAST TWO SUMMERS IT HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT OR WHEN LIGHTS APPROACH AT NIGHT, GLARE FROM THE SHINE ON DASH PAD REFLECTS UP ON WINDSHIELD CREATING LARGE REFLECTIVE AREA. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL IMAGES RECENTLY THAT SHOW THE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS THIS CAUSES & IN THE IMAGES ALTHOUGH VERY CLEAR THAT IT BLOCKS SIGHT... YOU CAN NOT TELL THE SEVERITY THAT IS ACTUALLY PRESENT WHEN TRAVELING AND IT FLASHES ACROSS CERTAIN ANGLES & SOMETHING PULLS OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR I AM TOTALLY BLINDED COUPLE SECONDS. ENOUGH TIME USUALLY HAVE HIT BRAKES OR SWERVE BECAUSE CAN NOT SEE AT ALL OR IF ABOUT TOO HIT ANYTHING OR NOT, LUCKILY SO FAR NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BUT IF SOMEONE NOT USED TOO THIS CONDITION DROVE MY CAR THEY WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT NO QUESTION. I HAVE LOANED THE CAR TOO FRIENDS AND BROUGHT BACK INSTANTLY BECAUSE AFRAID TOO DRIVE LIKE THIS. *TR

MY 2007 LEXUS IS250 DASHBOARD HAS STICKY/MELTING ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING DURING SUMMER HOT DAY IN TEXAS, THE MELTING DASHBOARD GENERATES LIGHT REFLECTION ON WINDSHIELD MAKES ME DIFFICULT TO SEE THE FRONT OBJECTS. IT ALSO MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE BECAUSE AIRBAGS JUST UNDER IT. NOT SURE AIRBAGS GET DEPLOYED IN THE RIGHT TIME OR NOT IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. LEXUS SHOULD RECALL DASHBOARDS. *TR

DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY AS IF MELTED AND CAUSES AN AWFUL GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD DURING NIGHT AND DAY HOURS. LEXUS SAID THIS WAS A VANITY ISSUE AND WOULD NOT WARRANTY IT OUT. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. ALSO THE HANDLES ON THE DOORS WHERE THE SAME MATERIALS IS, VERY SOFT AND ABLE TO BE MANIPULATED WHICH DOES NOT AFFECT DRIVING BUT IT IS AN ISSUE. *TR

MELTING DASHBOARD - CAN SIMPLY STICK A FINGERNAIL IN IT AND IT LEAVES AN INDENTATION. I NOTICED THAT OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM ALSO. IT'S ALSO VERY STICKY ANYWHERE ALONG THE LEATHER ON THE DOORS AND DASHBOARD. *TR ALSO, MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND A YEAR AGO THE TOUCH SCREEN WENT OUT. I CANNOT USE THE GPS AT ALL. APPARENTLY THE COST IS ABOUT $1,000 TO FIX THIS. SEEMS REDICULOUS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER ONLY 7 YEARS. THIS SHOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR LIFE!

THE DASHBOARD IN MY LEXUS IS250 APPEARS TO BE MELTING. THE DASHBOARD BECOMES EXTREMELY STICKY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SUNLIGHT. AS A RESULT OF THE INFERIOR QUALITY, A SHINE IS BEGINNING TO APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH REFLECTS ON TO THE WINDSHIELD WHEN IN THE SUN. THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AND IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE AS TIME PASSES. *TR

DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE IS SLOWLY MELTING OFF CAUSING A HAZARDOUS GLARE WHEN DRIVING. THE GLARE INTERFERES WITH VISION WHILE DRIVING. WITH THE DASHBOARD MELTING I AM NOW QUESTIONING WHETHER THE AIR BAGS ARE IN FULL FUNCTION OR IF THEY ARE FAULTY. THE DOOR PANELS ARE STAINING CLOTHING AND HANDBAGS AS WELL. LEXUS HAS SAID THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES AND THEY ARE AWARE BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO ASSIST WITH THIS ISSUE. DRIVING THIS CAR DURING DAYLIGHT IS BECOMING DANGEROUS. *TR
