Wiper problem #1

Driving down the interstate and out of the blue my sunroof exploded. It sounded like a gunshot and I was driving 80mph. I almost ran into another driver due to glass falling on me.

Wiper problem #2

The dashboard is melting causing a glare that’s hard to see through on the windshield. I found a self service from Lexus that they recalled it themselves but it isn’t official thought the government. (https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2018/mc-10145764-9999. Pdf). I called Lexus and they said I had to call corporate, so I did. They still wouldn’t help me as it isn’t an official recall even though they extended the program to 2026. This is a major saftey concern. I could eventually hit someone because of the glare.

Wiper problem #3

Sticky dash board, tryed to clean it and it becomes shinny and reflects sunlight.
