general problems of the 2013 Lexus ES

Roughly 6-12 months ago the dashboard on my Lexus started to melt and become sticky, creating a glare on my windshield and impeding my ability to see the road causing dangerous situations. Both daytime and nighttime driving have been affected by this defect. I’ve contacted the local dealership, but they confirmed that no recalls are available and that the only solution is for me to replace the entire dash.

Hood latch and cable malfunction in that the hood wouldn't close and warning light and buzzer continuously beeped. Woburn Toyota in woburn, MA said it was due to overuse and not a defect and not a safety issue! not so. Hood not opened more than other vehicles I have had without such a problem. Other Lexus owners have posted similar complaints, too.

The moonroof suddenly shattered (it sounded like an explosion) while I was driving on the freeway in 70 degree weather. Initially I had no idea what it was but realized subsequently that I was shedding glass shards behind me. There were no overpasses where someone could have dropped something, I did not see a rock or other projectile, and - when I parked the car - I found nothing that from outside seemed to have struck it and/or stayed behind in the cavity.

My 2013 Lexus Es 350 has a panorama sunroof which exploded when an attended closed the passenger side door. I only had the car eight months and have less than 6,000 miles. The weather that day was sunny and 75 degrees. I shudder to think what could have happen if my 82 year old mom was in the car. We had plans for that day to travel out of state that very day. The shatter glass fell inside the car. This is a safety issue as if I had been driving down the freeway just the mere sound of the explosion could have startle me and I may have lost control of the car. There is a great possibility ofexploding roofs causing injuries . This is a saftey issue.
