* Our 2008 Lexus RX 350 dashboard is cracking: areas of safety concern are the cracks around the ignition switch, the air bags, and the instrument panel. * There are cracks all around the ignition switch which places it in jeopardy of malfunctioning to include releasing dangerous fumes and dangerous fragments (scrapnel), and/or falling out. * The air bags are a grave concern as they may not deploy due to the cracks in the dashboard. * The instrument panel has a backup camera that may also be negatively impacted. There was a safety recall on these dashboards, and Lexus claimed that they were waiting on parts and that we would be contacted. We were never contacted by Lexus, and when we contacted them on several occasions, Lexus told us that they were not going to replace the dashboard. The cracks in my dashboard are extremely serious concerns for my family's...
Sun roof exploded while driving. Safety is at risk as shards of glass come crashing down while driving. The only warning was a loud noise like a gun shot
My daughter was driving on the Freeway and the vehicle just went dead. She lost all power nothing would work. She was on a outside land and was able to get it off the road. She said it was really hard to do that and scared her very much. She said if she had been in the middle lane she would have not been able to get it off the road. We took it to our mechanic and he told us to take it to a dealer as they had the proper equipment to test the hybrid system. We dont have a lexus dealer in our town but we have a Toyota. We took it there and they told us it would be 170.00 to find the problem. They called us and had a list of things they recommended. My husband asked did you check the hybird system and they...
In 2020 entire dash sticky to touch, and cracking of dash 2021. VSC light on/off.
I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN ILLINOIS. DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME TO MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN THE HYBRID SYSTEM, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM ERROR LIGHTS WENT OFF AT ONCE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. I STRUGGLED TO MERGE OVER ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP OF THE ISSUE, AND TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT NO CODES WERE SHOWING UP, AND TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE. WE PICKED THE VEHICLE UP, AND ON THE WAY HOME THE SAME WARNING SYSTEMS SHOWED AGAIN. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP I WANTED A REFUND, AND NOW THEY'RE PLAYING GAMES. WHEN GETTING HOME, AND CHECKING THE VIN TO MAYBE SEE IF THERE WAS ANY SAFETY RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. IT'S SHOWING AS A SALVAGED VEHICLE.
DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND EXPOSING FOAM UNDERNEATH. CONCERN THAT PIECES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL OFF AND TAPING OR COVERING THE DASHBOARD MAY INTERFERE WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
MY CRACKED DASHBOARD OR A MELTED DASHBOARD WITH GLAZED STICKINESS AND SHINY.I HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING THE ROAD THROUGH THE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD.
THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN (MELTING) CAUSING IT TO BE EXTREMELY SHINY AND STICKY. AS WELL AS OMITTING A GAS WHICH HAS CAUSED A SEVERE GLARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. LEXUS HAD MY VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 TO FIX AN OIL HOSE RECALL AND PURPOSELY DID NOT MAKE ME AWARE OF THE FAULTY DASHBOARD ISSUE,( SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO) THEREFORE, I MISSED THE WINDOW TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE. LEXUS REFUSES TO MAKE THIS ISSUE A RECALL WHICH HAS AFFECTED THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES.
VVT-I RUBBER OIL LINE RUPTURED LEAKING ALL 6 QUARTS OF OIL OUT OF ENGINE, CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE WHILE DRIVING IN 2008 LEXUS RX350 TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE NEVER PUT A RUBBER HOSE ON AN OIL LINE WITH 80PSI AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. THE LEXUS DEALER HAS NEVER ADVISED ME OF POTENTIAL PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR MY ENGINE. FURIOUS AT TOYOTA FOR CUTTING COSTS!
AIRBAG/SEATBELT PASSENGER LIGHT WARNING IS ON AND NOT FUNCTIONAL. TIRE LIGHT WARNING IS ALSO ON AND COULD NOT BE RESET.
MY OIL LINE BURST ON MY LEXUS RX 350 SUV AND CAUSED SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE AS A RESULT. THIS IS A VERY LARGE LEAK WHICH COVERS THE GROUND, ENGINE, AND UNDERCARRIAGE. IF THE OIL LINE RUPTURES WHILE DRIVING, THE LOW ENGINE OIL MESSAGE AND ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WARNINGS WILL ILLUMINATE (WHICH IT DID NOT, NO WARNING, NO ILLUMINATION OF LIGHTS) AND WILL RESULT IN COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO OIL STARVATION.THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS AHEAD OF TIME AND THEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AT THE SAME TIME WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE TO START THE CAR, AND IT WAS TOWED IMMEDIATELY TO A SERVICE CENTER AND WAS NOT DRIVEN WHEN THE PANEL LITE UP (THE WHOLE PANEL ILLUMINATED WITH WARNINGS IN EVERY CATEGORY WITH NO WARNING TO INCLUDE TIRE PRESSURE, OIL LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, AIR BAG, SRS, MASTER LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, POWER STEERING...
