Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD ON THE LEXUS IS 250 IS MELTING AND DISINTEGRATING LEAVING A SHINY RESIDUE THAT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN THE SUN. THIS SHINY RESIDUE CAUSED BY THE MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD IMPAIRS VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT. I COULDN'T SEE DEBRIS THAT WAS ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AND HIT THE DEBRIS ON THE ROAD, THIS CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AROUND AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD. THIS SHINE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD IS UNPREDICTABLE AS THE LOW VISIBILITY ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE SUN REFLECTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T PREDICT WHICH DIRECTION I WILL BE DRIVING, FACING THE SUN OR NOT, MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT ALL TIMES. *TR
