Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD ON THIS CAR HAS BEEN MELTING OVER THE YEARS. IT IS GARAGED ALL THE TIME BUT IF I PUT IT IN THE SUN FOR EVEN 30 MINUTES, IT BECOMES STICKY AND CHEMICALS START TO LEACH INTO THE CAR AND IT SMELLS HORRIBLE. IF I TOUCH THE DASHBOARD, BLACK PAINT COMES OFF ONTO MY FINGERS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD SEEN IT BEFORE AND I COMPLAINED TO LEXUS. BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL, THEY SAY AS A GOOD WILL GESTURE, THEY WILL COVER 50% TO REPAIR. THAT IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE FOR SOMETHING THAT IS PROBABLY CAUSING CANCER, IT IS ALL OVER THE LEXUS BOARDS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS IF THERE IS A RECALL!
