I NOTICED A BLACK SPOT IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR ONE DAY AND DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT, HOWEVER THE ONE SPOT TURNED INTO MULTIPLE STREAKS. IT'S GETTING HARDER TO SEE OUT OF THE MIRROR WHICH TO ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT AS WELL. I HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALLS ON THE MELTING DASHBOARD AND DOORS AND ENGINE. LEXUS SHOULD REALLY TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL NEW VEHICLES HOWEVER I HAVE HAD MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR THAN I DID WITH MY OTHER CARS. *TR

WE RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED LEXUS IS 250 2006, AND SHORTLY AFTER BUYING NOTICED TWO HUGE PROBLEMS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE, AS FIRST TIME LEXUS BUYERS, WE WERE EXPECTING TO BE IMPRESSED BY THE QUALITY OF THE LEXUS BRAND. NOW WE'RE CONCERNED BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE WIDELY REPORT BY OTHERS FROM THE HOT, SUNNY SOUTH. 1. THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR IS DISTORTED IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT DOESN'T PROVIDE A CLEAR VIEW. WE DIDN'T NOTICE THIS BEFORE WE BOUGHT BECAUSE THE LADY WE BOUGHT IT FROM HAD A VANITY MIRROR WITH LITTLE DIAMONDS OVER TOP OF THE REGULAR MIRROR. SINCE IT MATCHED THE VANITY LICENSE TAG THAT SHE HAD AND SINCE SHE WAS AN INTERIOR DESIGNER, WE DIDN'T SUSPECT AT ALL THAT IT WAS COVERING UP A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE VANITY MIRROR OBSTRUCTED SAFE DRIVING AND IT WAS A HORRIBLE MIRROR, AND WHEN I TOOK IT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS IS 250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD AND FOUR DOOR PANELS HAD MELTED IN SOME AREAS AND EXHIBITED SEVERAL CRACKS.

DT*: THE CONTACT DISCOVERED ON A SUNNY DAY IN MARCH, WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE, THERE WERE WHITE SPOTS COVERING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE HEADLIGHT COVERS AND WINDSHIELD. UPON INSPECTION, BY THE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THE WINDSHIELD, HEAD LIGHT COVERS AND ALL EXTERIOR WINDOWS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL EXTERIOR PANELS NEED TO BE GROUND DOWN TO THE METAL AND A CORROSIVE PROTECTOR HAS TO BE APPLIED BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS REPAINTED. THE DEALER FELT A CORROSIVE ROAD MATERIAL MAY HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN IN SUCH CONDITIONS.
