Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY LEASED LEXUS ON 12/10/2011. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO MELT. I HAVE AN EXTEND WARRANTY BUT IT DOES NOT COVER DASHBOARDS. I CANNOT PUT A COVER OVER THE WINDOW AS THE COVER STICKS TO THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE BEEN TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT IN WEST PALM BEACH, FL BUT THEY WILL ONLY PAY FOR THE PART. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR AT A COST OF ALMOST $800.00. I FEEL THAT THIS IS CONSIDERED A DEFECT. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS IN MY LIFETIME, MANY LESS EXPENSE THAN THIS ONE AND THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME. WHEN THE SUN HITS THE SHINY DASH, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO MANY CARS AND I FEEL THAT IT IS A RECALL ITEM AS IT IS DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER CARS/PEDESTRIANS. *TR
