NHTSA Complaint #11328531 — 2007 LEXUS RX

I OWN A 2007 RX350 AND THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY, GUMMY, SHINY AND MELTING EMITTING ODOR -- HEALTH HAZARD. THE SHININESS REFLECTS WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY AND/OR HIGHWAY, AND AFFECTS VISIBILITY. APPARENTLY, LEXUS IS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND TOOKS STEPS TO RECTIFIES THESE ISSUES; HOWEVER, I HAD MENTIONED THESE ISSUES BACK IN 2016 TO MY DEALERSHIP WHOM DIDN'T ADDRESS IT AS A DEFECT HENCE WHY I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS A DEFECT UNTIL NOW SINCE MY DASHBOARD RECENTLY STARTED CRACKING. APPARENTLY, THERE HAS BEEN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT DIDN'T REALIZE THESE WERE DEFECTS UNTIL I CONTACTED LEXUS REGARDING THIS MATTER -- UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, THEY'RE NOT HONORING FIXING THESE ISSUES BECAUSE IT'S OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE NOR IS IT COMESTIC; IT'S A DEFECT. *TR
