Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE FRONT AND REAR SIDE DOOR PANELS ARE MELTING,CRACKING AND DETERIORATING WHICH CAUSES DENTS IN THE MATERIAL TO THE TOUCH. ALL OF THE MATERIAL IS DISCOLORED AND STICKY OR MELTING. THIS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DICTATED BY THE NHTSA ASAP. LEXUS NOTIFIED ME OF THE PROBLEM ALMOST A YEAR AGO, AND WHEN I CALLED THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE ANOTHER 9 TO 10 MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AND SIDE DOOR PANELS. SO, IT WOULD BE OVER A 1 OR MORE YEARS SINCE THE ORIGINAL LEXUS NOTICE THAT THEY MAYBE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THIS IS WHY THE NHTSA NEEDS TO DEMAND LEXUS INITIATES A OFFICIAL RECALL FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH THE MELTING DASHBOARD AND SIDE DOOR PANEL ISSUES
