Dashboard on 2009 Lexus ES 350 has begun to melt and on sunny days the reflection on the windshield poses a safety hazard and reduces visibility. There was a recall for this problem on 2007 and 2008 models. The 2009 is identical in design and Lexus should fix this. I contacted them and they offered to pay a small portion of the $1700 repair costs.
Vehicle dashboard is melting and creates a dangerous road glare when driving on sunny days or hot days. It is also a very sticky surface that is sticking to everything. This is known problem on Lexus and Toyota cars.
