Consumer Description

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
