Consumer Description

MY DASH AND DOORS ARE MELTING. I TOOK MY CAR TO LEXUS LAST YEAR AND THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR HALF, BUT MY HALF WAS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO PAY, 3,000.00. I ALSO DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD PAY FOR A MELTING CAR WHEN I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR. IT IS ALWAYS IN THE GARAGE WHEN I AM AT HOME, AND I KEEP A SUN SHIELD IN THE DASH WHEN I AM AT WORK. I LOVE MY CAR AND IT ONLY HAS 78,000 MILES; IT RUNS GREAT, BUT IT IS MELTING! I CALLED LEXUS AGAIN WHEN I HEARD A STORY ON THE NEWS THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AGAIN, AND THEN INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD PROBABLY NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE MY CAR IS A 2006. I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SELL IT UNLESS I RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I AM SO FRUSTRATED. *TR
