NHTSA Complaint #11298484 — 2007 LEXUS ES

PURCHASED 2007 LEXUS ES350 AND DASH IS MELTING WITH HEAT AND HUMIDITY. LEXUS DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY EXPIRED MAY 31, 2017 HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RECALL LETTER RECEIVED. LEXUS IS AWARE OF ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO REPLACE DASH OR REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO GLARE FROM DASH MELTING AND STICKY BECAUSE OF SHINE. ADDITIONALLY, IN THE FUTURE, THE DASH CANNOT BE REMOVED BECAUSE IT WILL CRUMBLE TO PERFORM ANY REPAIRS NECESSITATING REMOVAL OF DASH AND NO SHOPS WANT THAT RESPONSIBILITY. LEXUS REPLACED A COMPLETE DASH FOR A CRACK ON MY 2004 LEXUS WITHOUT IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE GLARE COMING FROM THE DASH MELTING! THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES AND IS ALWAYS GARAGED! THERE HAVE BEEN LAWSUITS FILED OVER THIS ISSUE!
