Dashboard melts and becomes stick and shiny, causing excessive glare and significantly reducing the drivers ability to see out of windshield. This is a well documented manufacturing defect. Contacting lexus/toyota about this and they refused to provide any assistance to rectify this problem. The problem is not bad in the winter time. But with ambient temperatures above 40 degrees f and with the sun shining in the car windshield the dashboard melts and becomes shiny and sticky causing driver vision issues. Have contacted manufactures customer service and local dealers for past six months with…
Air Bags · at 69,000 miles · reported Jan 16, 2019
Lexus es 350 2007 dashboard is melting and compromised. Due to the sticky mess the airbags will not deploy properly and death will likely occur. Very concerned about the toxicity of the dashboard as well. It's melting, changing color from black to white and cracking. This carcinogenic material is now poisoning all who ride in the vehicle. Included photo does not convey the glossy melting ,sticky reality of it all. The glossy melting reflection causes lots of glare and impairs visibility on sunny days. This issue must be resolved before a life is taken needlessly. Lexus refuses to replace the…
Visibility/Wiper · reported Oct 17, 2018
The dasboard is melting severely which causes a bright glare day and night, causing visibility and safety concerns. There is also a very obnoxious smell to it. I bought this car used and didn't notice the issue at the time. Lexus should just own up to it and replace the dash no matter how old the car is since it is a safety hazard to me and others on the road. I personally try not to drive during the daytime when its the worst but thats not always feasible.
