AS WITH MANY OTHER USERS, THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAR HAS MELTED. THIS STARTED HAPPENING MANY YEARS AGO AND WHEN I INFORMED THE LEXIS OF PALM BEACH DEALER ABOUT IT, I WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND THERE IS A TERRIBLE GLARE WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SEE DURING THE HOT SUNNY DAYS WHILE I AM DRIVING. I LIVE IN WEST PALM BEACH, FL, SO IT'S SUNNY MOST OF THE YEAR AND THIS IS A ROAD HAZARD. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS EXTREMELY STICKY/SHINY ALONG WITH THE TOPS OF THE DOOR PANELS NEAR THE WINDOWS. WHEN THE SUN IS OVERHEAD SHINING DOWN ONTO THE DASHBOARD IN ITS MELTED SHINY STATE IT REFLECTS A GLARE ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE CAR. ALSO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUNCTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WITH IT BEING UNDER THIS DASH THAT HAS MELTED. ALSO IF THE DASH IS TOUCHED TO ADD OR REMOVE A SUNSHIELD WHEN PARKED IT EASILY COMES APART ONTO FINGERS/HANDS/CLOTHES AND LEAVES A STICKY BLACK RESIDUE. THE RESIDUE MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO ALLOW THE STEERING WHEEL TO SLIDE THROUGH THE HANDS WHILE TURNING AS IT CATCHES/RELEASES EASILY. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS BEEN A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAR FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFE. PREVIOUS OWNER BOUGHT IT IN COLORADO BUT LIVED IN SOUTHERN...

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING DIFFICULTY TO SEE OUT OF WINDSHIELD! *TR

DASHBOARD MATERIAL HAS 'MELTED' AND CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT GLARE IN THE SUN. THIS MAKES IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO LEXUS. UPPER PORTIONS OF DOOR PANELS WHICH ARE THE SAME MATERIAL AS THE DASHBOARD HAVE ALSO FAILED BUT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT WITH THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP AFTER THE MANY RECALLS THEY HAVE HAD ON MY CAR. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS MY MELTING DASHBOARD AND THE HAZARDOUS GLARE AND FILM IT OMITS ON MY WINDSHIELD. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY DANGEROUS AS I WORK AND LIVE IN FLORIDA. AS A MOTHER OF TWO TEENAGE DAUGHTERS TRYING TO TEACH THEM TO DRIVE IN MY CAR HAS PROVEN VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS, LET ALONE MY DAILY DRIVING. I HAVE ASKED THAT TOYOTA/LEXUS STEPS UP AS THIS IS NOT A COSMETIC FAULT BUT A DANGEROUS AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE MY FAMILY! AS IN MEDICAL TERMS, THEY NEED TO THINK OF A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE ON THIS BATTLE AND WANT TO SEE THE MANUFACTURER STEP UP AND MAKE THIS ONE OF THE MANY RECALLS THEY HAVE HAD...

THE DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS ARE ALL CRACKING AND THE BLACK RUBBER MATERIAL IS VERY SOFT AND STICKY AND IT MARKS AND CHIPS AWAY EASILY. *TR

THE DASHBOARDS AND DOOR PANELS SEEMS LIKE IT'S MELTING APART. AT THE TOUCH OF IT, IT FEELS STICKY AND CALL FALL OFF. *TR

2006 LEXUS IS350. DASHBOARDS AND DOOR PANELS ARE STICKY AND MELTING. AS A RESULT DASHBOARD CAUSES A SHINY UNWANTED REFLECTIVE GLARE WHICH REDUCES VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING, POTENTIALLY CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE INCREASING THE CHANCE OR RISK OF A CRASH OR ACCIDENT. FURTHERMORE, THE DOOR PANELS ARE SO STICKY AND SOFT, ONE CANNOT TOUCH THEM WITHOUT SCRATCHING, RIPPING OR DAMAGING THEM. DOOR PANELS ALSO PRODUCE A REFLECTIVE BLINDING GLARE OFF THEM, ALSO PURPOSING A SAFETY HAZARD. MATERIALS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE INTERIOR TRIM IS VERY POOR CAUSING UNWANTED DAMAGE AND SAFETY ISSUES. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE INTERIOR TRIM DECOR ON KNOWN DEFECTIVE DATE AND MODELS WHICH ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. PROBLEMS START TO ARISE SOON AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES.

2006 LEXUS IS 350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS WERE TACKY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED, WHEN HE TOUCHED THE DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS, IT FELT LIKE GLUE. *JB

WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED MY IS I NOTICED THAT MY DASH WAS SOMEWHAT STICKY/TACKY AND OVERTIME I BEGAN TO SHINY/STICKY DASH CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE WITH GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AND A DEGRADED DASH CAN RESULT IN POSSIBLE DEGRADATION TO THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG BECAUSE THE CRACKS FROM THE DASH COULD POTENTIALLY SET OFF THE AIRBAGS PREMATURELY. *JS

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY IN APPEARANCE. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR, WAS TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. I VOICED CONCERN OVER AIRBAG FAILURES DUE TO THE STICK DASHBOARD. IT IS ALSO NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN SUNNY CONDITIONS. *TR

DOOR PANELS TO INTERIOR GOOEY STICKY AND MARKED. CHUNKS AND GOUGES FROM NORMAL WEAR. NOTICED MONTHS AFTER PURCHASED. HAD TO HAVE DASHBOARD REPLACED BECAUSE OF GAUGES DEALERSHIP PUT ON THE CAR FROM REPAIR OF A FAULTY AIRBAG. HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT INTERIOR. POOR QUALITY INTERIOR FROM A LUXURY CAR. *TR

THE DASHBOARD AND OTHER INTERIOR PANELS SEEM TO BE MELTING AWAY. PARTICULARLY THE DASH. IT IS REAL STICKY IN THE HEAT AND SUN WHICH CAUSES A GLARING IN THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HAZARD. I HAVE CALLED LEXUS AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OR ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM EVEN WHEN OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED, THROUGH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET. EVEN WITH SUNGLASSES ON THE GLARING OF THE " LIQUID" LOOK ON THE DASH REFLECTING TO THE WINDSHIELD IS A HAZARD. *TR

THERE IS AN STICKY, MELTING AND GLOSS AREAS ON THE DASH DUE TO POOR QUALITY MATERIALS THAT REFLECT A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED LEXUS AND THE REP. TOLD THAT'S MY CAR AND MY PROBLEM, MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND LEXUS USA NOT RECALLING THIS DASH PANELS. *TR

BRAND NEW LEXUS IS 350 HAD HEAVY DASH BOARD RATTLING COMPLAINT ON THE FIRST WEEK! VEHICLE WAS GIVEN TO LEXUS AND THEY HELD VEHICLE FOR FEW DAYS AND RETURNED VEHICLE. COMPLAINT RECURRED SECOND TIME AFTER A MONTH AND VEHICLE WAS AGAIN SENT TO LEXUS. LEXUS HELD VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK AND GAVE BACK.
