The dashboard melted again, I had the TSB in 2017 to replace the dash. It is now again melted and obstructs your view by shining onto to the front windshield, obstructing the front view of the driver can cause impairment of vision and could lead to collision. The rear view mirror has black corrosion on it making it impossible to see clearly in the rearview and also obstructing your view which could cause an accident due to limited visibility when changing lanes. Sometimes when driving or parking the power steering locks the steering wheel in place intermittently, could not get it to happen at dealer but happened before and is a severe road hazard( Shows P/S in red on dash) dash lights VSC and traction control intermittently light up and go away. Obviously it is a hazard if the steering locks up when driving. Lexus oem alloy wheels chipping, not a hazard but cosmetic and disappointing.

I bought this car from a dealership and I noticed that the dash was really sticky. I assumed that the dealer had put a product on the dash just to make it look shiny. While I was driving the car home I also noticed that the shiny/sticky dash causes a reflection on the windshield. This bright reflection makes it really hard for me to see while I'm driving. When I got home I tried cleaning the dash but it made no difference. I can't put anything on the dash without having it getting sticky.

The dashboard of my 2007 Lexus Is 350 Is melting. Not only Is it very sticky, it causes a dangerous glare on sunny days depending on the direction I am driving. I have to adjust my body to lean to one side or the other or up and down to see around the glare. It Is dangerous whether the car Is in motion or not. The claim Is denied by insurance specifying wear and tear and Lexus per there being no recall and the program they temporarily implemented around 2014 for replacements has since ended as of May 2017 (shortly before I noticed the dash was melting and not dirty). Estimated cost of repair from Lexus as of 9/9/19 Is $1,950. This doesn't include fixing the side door handles that have deteriorated as well. I have video as well as the pictures attached.

Takata recall. I bought my car only two years ago after my first Lexus lasted me upwards of 350,000 miles. Keeping this in mind I found my 2007 IS250. I was aware after buying the car (but 2 days outside of my dealership warranty *fishy*) about the passenger air bag recall. The dashboard situation Is harsh. There Is a very chemical smell coming from my dashboard, it feels and peels off like the foam under it. It gets ripped and torn to shreds from very little friction. I have read that some people became very congested and ill from this smell. It Is very pungent. Now for my engine, this Is a big one. As I was driving, my car starts to make a loud but hallow clunking noise. For a long time I thought it was my brakes, so when I got them changed it went away, for a little. Now today as I was driving my car (which Is an automatic) completely stalled in head on traffic. Lucky me, ive driven many manual cars so I knew what to do. When I turned my car back on, it held idle at 4000 RPM. While going 20 mph it holds at 5-6000 RPM. As well as my miles per gallon/tank drop dramatically. While the car Is in idle in my driveway, it shakes like a freezing baby throwing a temper tantrum.

The dashboard Is cracked, melted, and sticky. I had to cover it up with a new material for cosmetic reason. Also, value of the car decreased by $1000 dollars for the damage. Second, there Is a lot of creaking in the car. Third, the alternator died at 120,00 miles.

Melting dash - I have the Lexus "melting dash" problem on my IS250 and have waited for 1 1/2 years, with no resolution. My local dealership says they have not received any dashes for over 6 months and have no idea when they might arrive. My dash has melted into a slick blob and that become a significant safety hazard. When driving during the day, the sun reflects on this melted surface and blinds the driver. I have notified cerritos Lexus and Lexus corporate of this safety issue. Forcing customers to drive unsafe vehicles with no expectation of when a solution is available is unacceptable. This should be listed as a recall due to the driver/passenger safety concerns. What am I supposed to do? I'm telling my wife not to drive unless it's an emergency.
