The dashboard and center console Is melting, leaving a sticky & shiny surface making it hazardous to drive the vehicle. A warranty campaign was issued for several other Lexus models to address this very issue, however, the 2003 IS300 was excluded. Lexus could not provide a reason as to why this exact defect was not addressed for the 2003 IS300 model, since they addressed the very same issue with an older 2003 GX470 model. My vehicle has been garage kept and extremely well maintained, so sun exposure was minimal and still experiencing the same issue as thousands of others that have complained. This hazardous defect has hindered me from driving my vehicle in fear of leaving it in the sun to further deteriorate causing more damage and rendering the vehicle undrivable.

Dash is melting and is sticking to anything that is rub up against it. Body parts, car wash towel, grocery. I seel recall on all other model regarding this issue. Except this particular model 2003 Lexus IS300. I believe it should extend to this year and model as well. No dash should be melting away with heat!

The dashboard on my Lexus Is 300 Is melting. It Is very sticky and as it heats up a chemical Is released and there Is an odor in the car. I called Lexus and they said that the recall does not effect the year of my vehicle, but it Is very clear that this car has a serious issue. All IS300 regardless of year with this issue must be recalled.
