2007 LEXUS RX HYBRID Structure Problems

MY DASHBOARD DEVELOPED VERTICLE CRACKS IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DASHBOARD. BECAUSE THIS DASHBOARD HAS THE AIRBAG INSIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE I WOULDN'T FEEL SAFE IN A CAR THAT HAD A CRACKED DASH, ANYTHING THAT WOULD MAKE AN AIRBAG GO OFF TOO SOON OR GO OFF TOO LATE CAN OR WOULD BE VERY SERIOUS. *TR

THE BLACK MOLDING ON PART# 84840G 8484021010 - SWITCH ASSEMBLY BACK DOOR OPENER IS EXTREMELY SOFT AND STICKY. EVERY TIME WE PUT OUR HANDS ON IT TO MANUALLY OPEN THE REAR LIFT, BLACK STICKY SUBSTANCES GET ON THE FINGERS, WHICH ARE USED TO OPEN IT. THAT PART IS SHIELDED SOMEWHAT BY THE BODY. IT WAS STICKY EVEN DURING COLD MONTHS HERE IN KANSAS AND IS STICKY AS WELL DURING THIS SPRING AND BEGINNING OF SUMMER. MY CONCERN IS SOMETHING IS GETTING HOT FROM THAT ELECTRICAL PIECE THAT MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE AND HOPEFULLY NOT, BUT POSSIBLE FIRE. THANKING IN ADVANCE. *TR

RUBBER HANDLE PART TO OPEN THE HATCH BACK, BECAME GOOEY LIKE TAR, AND MADE A BIG MESS. DIFFICULT TO CLEAN OFF OF THINGS AND HANDS. PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. TEMPORARY REPETITIVE SOLUTIONS WAS TO CUT TO FIT BLACK DUCT TAPE AND TOTALLY COVER THE MESS, BUT COULD STILL PRESS THE MECHANISM IF NECESSARY. MOSTLY USE REMOTE NOW OR THE BUTTON IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. LAST DUCT TAPE APPLICATION IS WEARING OFF, AND I NEED TO GO IN TO LEXUS FOR A RECALL SERVICE, SO I DECIDED TO ASK THEM ABOUT IT, AND HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. AMAZINGLY, THE SERVICE MAN KNEW OFF THE TOP OF HIS HEAD THAT THEY HAD THE PART IN STOCK, AND RECALLED HOW MUCH THE PART AND LABOR WOULD COST! SOUNDS LIKE THEY'VE HAD A LOT OF THESE REPLACEMENTS!!! OF COURSE I'M NOT UNDER WARRANTY RIGHT NOW. *TR

REAR HATCH HANDLE/OPENER HAS COMPLETELY MELTED. IT STARTED A FEW MONTHS AGO, IT WAS JUST A LITTLE STICKY AT FIRST, THEN THE BLACK RUBBER STARTED COMING OFF ON MY FINGERS WHEN I OPENED THE HATCH MANUALLY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY OUT ABOUT THIS AND THAT IT IS ONLY HAPPENING IN FLORIDA. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL AND A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
