The dashboard melted and shines. Having problems seeing during driving against sunlight, also the stickiness of the dashboard makes dirt stuck on the surface of the dashboard. The main issue is safety while driving because of sunlight reflection.
Dear NHTSA vehicle safety team, I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2010 Lexus Es350 (VIN: [xxx] ) concerning a dashboard melting issue. Several years ago, Lexus issued a recall for melting dashboards, including my vehicle. At that time, I did not request a replacement. However, after the recall period ended, my dashboard began to melt. The material becomes sticky, shiny, and unsafe under sunlight. During daytime driving, the melted dashboard reflects sunlight onto the windshield, making it difficult and dangerous to see the road clearly. I have contacted my local Lexus dealer and Lexus corporate headquarters, but both refused assistance, citing the expired recall period. Despite this, the defect continues to exist and presents a serious safety concern. I request that NHTSA record this issue as a safety defect and consider it for further investigation. Attached are photos of my dashboard for reference. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
I am having a problem with my side view mirrors. They keep poppingloose, swinging freely on it's base. One time the mirror popped loose while I was driving. Could not see traffic in the right lane. Could cause an accident.
Location: where front driver side door attaches to body of vehicle. The upper hinge from the door that attaches to the body, is detaching from the body of the car. The material that the door attaches to does not appear to be metal, it appears to be some sort of fiberglass. I will be shocked if you do not have any other owners complaining. If you have not, the only reason I can guess is that other owners have not looked at this area where the door attaches to the body. Mine is still working, but it is just a matter of time before it becomes a major problem. The door has already shifted somewhat where the door does not shut like it should. This problem was diagnosed when the vehicle was stationary.
Inside dashboard is very sticky and Lexus told me that there was a recall on this and we were never notified.
