2007 LEXUS ES350 Unknown Or Other Problems

DASH OF A 2007 LEXUS ES350 IS MELTING IN SUN. DASH IS STICKY AND SHINES. SHINE BOTHERS MY VISION . DANGEROUS DRIVING THE CAR.

DURING THE MONTH OF JUNE, 2018 MY DASHBOARD TOP MELTED AND RELEASED AN OBNOXIOUS SMELL. NOW WHEN DRIVING FACING THE SUN THERE IS A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT PROHIBITS A CLEAR VIEW WHILE DRIVING CREATING VARIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS. TO OVERCOME THIS HAZARD THE DRIVER HAS TO PUT ON SUN GLASSES AND IF DRIVING AFTER SUNSET THE GLARE FROM STREET LIGHTS, TRAFFIC SIGNALS, ETC., CREATES MANY PROBLEMS BY DISTORTING THE VIEW THRU THE WINDSHIELD. AND NOW,THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD CANNOT BE REPAIRED OTHER THAN REPLACING IT WITH A NEW ONE.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A RECALL LETTER. I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER PERTAINING TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASH. IT IS BETWEEN 96 TO 100% FOR MONTHS HERE AND THE DASH GETS SO HOT EVEN TO TOUCH IT. . I PUT A SUNSCREEN OVER WINDSHIELD AND PUNCTURES IT. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A REPLACEMENT BUT JUST REPAIRING IT.. I LOVE MY CAR AND INTEND TO GET NEW ONE NEXT YEAR BUT I PLAN ON KEEPING IT FOR ANOTHER YEAR. I WENT TO STERLING MCCALL LEXUS AND WAS TOLD MINE OFFER EXPIRED MAY, 2017. HAD I RECEIVED A LETTER I WOULD REPLACE IT THEN. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER. I WOULD BE FOREVER GRATEFUL.

WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED, MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW FELL OUT OF THE CAR WHEN I WENT TO RAISE IT. THE WINDOW DIDN'T BREAK, AND I MADE IT HOME AND REINSTALLED IT AND HELD IT IN WITH TAPE. THIS HAPPENED LAST WINTER. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS, ESPECIALLY IN THE LEXUS FORUMS, AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS AS WELL. IN MY CASE, THE WINDOW CLIPS DID NOT BREAK, BUT RATHER THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT ADHESIVE APPLIED TO THE CLIPS, OR THE ADHESIVE SIMPLY FAILED. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH LEXUS SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. OTHER, LATER YEARS WERE ALSO AFFECTED, AND THE CAUSE IS USUALLY 1 OR BOTH BROKEN CLIPS. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED AS MANY AS 3 WINDOWS BEING REPLACED THE LEXUS, AT GREAT COST SINCE THE ENTIRE WINDOW MUST BE REPLACED. IN MY CASE I FOUND AN...

DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SHINY. A VOLUNTARY WARRANTY SERVICE RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE CONDITION PRODUCES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. WARRANTY EXTENSION REIMBURSEMENT OFFER EXPIRED IN MAY 2017. MY CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. RECEIVED SERVICE NOTE AND JUST SET IT ASIDE AS CAR WAS GARAGED. RECENTLY RELICENSED VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY ON FIRST BRIGHT DAY WAS REMINDED OF THE ISSUE. LEXUS SAYS OFFER EXPIRED, PERIOD. I CAN CERTAINLY PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT ($1500). I CONTEND THIS IS AN ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. I CONTEND LEXUS/TOYOTA AVOIDED A SAFETY RECALL BY PREEMPTIVELY ISSUING A SERVICE/WARRANTY NOTICE. HOW MANY ES350'S ARE OUT THERE WITH DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD? THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC ISSUE. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE.

MELTING DASHBOARD. SUN REFLEXTING OFF MAKING VISIBILTY 0 VERY DANGEROUS TO SEE ROAD. I HAVE NOTIFIED LEXUS THEY TOLD THE REPAIR DATE EXPIRED5/31/ 17, I RECIEVED NOTIFICATION NO NOTIFICATION OF THIS REPAIR NOTICE. I DONT KNOW WHEN IT WAS MAILED OUT BUT IT SEEMS OWNERS MUST ONLY GOTTEN A 6 MOTHS NOTICE. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WHO THEY CARRIED THERE CARS IN FOR REPAIRS AND THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BEFORE THEY COULD GET THE REPAIRS.

AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR IS LEAKING.

MELTING DASH. DASH IS CHIPPING AWAY ALSO AND IS STICKY AND WHEN TOUCHED , LEAVES BLACK RESIDUE ON WHATEVER TOUCHES IT. GIVES OFF A BLINDING GLARE AT CERTAIN TIMES.

WHEN TURNING, THE 'DOOR OPEN' LIGHT COMES ON AND ALL FOUR DOORS UNLOCK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. BEFORE THIS, ONLY LIGHT WILL COME.

I WAS DRIVING AND PULLED UP NEXT TO ANOTHER CAR AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE DRIVER MOTIONED TO ME FOR DIRECTIONS I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN TO SPEAK TO RGE PERSON. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW MAKES A POPPING SOUND AND SOUNDS LIKE IT JUMPS OUT OF THE TRACK. THIS PREVENT OPENING AND CLOSING THE WINDOW. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR FROM JM LEXUS AND NOW TOLD. HAVE TO PAY OVER $800 TO REPAIR IT. I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE SALESMAN WHEN WE MADE THE PURCHASE WHICH MADE ME SWEAR OFF PURCHASING ANOTHER VEHICLE THROUGH THEM OR EVEN RECOMMENDIBG THEM. THIS IS MY THIRD PURCHASE THROUGH THEM I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MY INSTINCT. . I PARKED MY CAR IN PARKING GARAGE OR ON THE STREET. WHEN I RETURN I NOTICED THE INTERIOR DASH MELTS AND PEELS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE RAISES.

MELTING DASHBOARD-HAVE ASKED IT TO BE REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED. YESTERDAY I WAS TOLD IT IS COVERED BUT COULD TAKE YEARS TO GET THE PARTS IN. I'VE BEEN ASKING ABOUT IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND NOW THE REFLECTION FROM THE GOOEY MELTING DASH IS OBSCURING MY VISIBILITY ON SUNNY DAYS. I LIVE IN FLORIDA SO MOST DAYS ARE SUNNY DAYS. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR A CRASH TO GET IT REPAIRED.

MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE FRONT DRIVERS WINDOW AND THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW COMING OFF TRACK AND THE WINDOW ATTACHMENTS BREAKING. LEXUS FIXED THE DRIVERS WINDOW AND NOW THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER WINDOW. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THE DEALER SHOULD RECALL

IN 2007, I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 MODEL LEXUS ES 350 4 DOOR SEDAN. SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS LIFTED AND THE CAR WAS DOWNSHIFTING AND BRAKING BY THE ENGINE (THE BRAKE NOT BEING DEPRESSED), AT ONE POINT THE CAR CONTINUED FORWARD FOR A TIME RATHER THAN CONTINUE TO BEING BRAKED BY THE ENGINE. THIS CONDITION HAS CONTINUED IN SPITE MY CALLING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE LEXUS DEALER IN NEW ORLEANS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE FIRST BEING SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, AND THE LATEST BEING ON JUNE 16TH OF THIS YEAR. IN EACH INSTANCE, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE CAR HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM IS NOT A RAPID SURGE, BUT RATHER A SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED MOVING FORWARD IN GEAR INSTEAD OF A CONTINUOUS DOWNSHIFTING AND RESULTING BRAKING WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN AT...

NEW CAR LESS THEN 1 MO. OLD WIFE AND I NOTICED ACCELARATION SURGES. REPORTED TO DEALER. DEALER STATED TRANSMISSON IS ADJUSTING TO DRIVERS. DEALER ADJUSTS, NO NEW PARTS. SURGE STILL HAPPENS, ONCE IN A WHILE, NOT ALOT. AT LOW SPEEDS 20 TO 30 MPH

BLUETOOTH DISCONNECTS ALL THE TIME, APPARENTLY, DUE TO INTERFERENCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. CONNECT FUNCTION IS DISABLED WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS MAKES ONE TO USE PHONE HOLDING IT TO THE EAR, CAUSING A RISK OF POLICE PERSECUTION, AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS ES350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FROM ZERO TO 60 MPH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE FAILURE MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE ALL WEATHER FLOORMATS THAT WERE INSTALLED ON TOP OF THE REGULAR MATS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I WAS DRIVING AT 9:30AM TO WORK ALONG WITH MY WIFE ON I-696 NEAR DETROIT IN THE LEFT LANE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, BUT AS I APPROACHED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND PLACED IT ON THE BRAKE AND VEHICLE WAS CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE. HAD TO PUT FULL FORCE ON THE BRAKE. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM FURTHER INCREASING ITS SPEED. ONCE I REALIZED THE PROBLEM I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL , AND WHILE THE CAR SLOWED , I COULD HEAR THAT THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AT A HIGH RATE. AFTER A MINUTE, I MOVED THE CAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATED STARTED AGAIN, AND I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE ONCE AGAIN. A FEW MOMENTS LATER THIS UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION CEASED AND THE CAR REGAINED ITS NORMAL CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS. AFTER SLOWLY COMPLETING THE DRIVE TO WORK...
