A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I brought the car new and a few years later my dashboard and panel began to get sticky and had a melted look. For years I didn't do anything because I didn't think there was a solution. Then during the pandemic with me being home, I came across an article written about other people having the same problem and how a few years early Lexus did a recall or warranty to address the issue. Since it wasn't a safety recall, everyone was not notified.
I found out years later and contacted Lexus brand Engagement. After telling them about my issue a rep was supposed to contact me but I don't believe they did because I always had my phone on me. Also, I always got the run around when I tried to follow up with the rep.
Fast forward 2 years later, I was able to reach out to the Brand Engagement now that I work from home and have more time on my schedule. This time the rep explained that there wasn't anything they could do and everyone was not notified of the extended warranty. She also said that my concerns would be logged. That does me no good because my vehicle is still not fixed. The crazy thing is, I considered getting another new Lexus but I am weary with them not taking ownership of problems stemming from poor materials and trying to skate under the radar. I am extremely disappointed!
