I have repeatedly contacted Lexus requesting they honor an earlier commitment to replace the cracking of my dashboard � I am especially concerned about the cracking where the passenger-side airbag would deploy � the cracking could release small projectiles from the dashboard that could function like bullets in the event of an accident that deployed the airbag and its force.
The contact owns a 2006 Lexus Gx470. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed while attempting to switch lanes and the rear of the vehicle slid sideways before there was a loud boom coming from the vehicle. The vehicle became airborne and rolled approximately four times before landing upside down. While upside down another vehicle crashed into the vehicle and the vehicle rolled four more times. After the was struck by the second vehicle, the contact was able to exit the vehicle through the sunroof. The contact stated the front windshield had detached and separated from the vehicle. The contact sustained four fractured ribs, a fractured pelvis, a hemothorax, acute kidney and liver injuries, shoulder damage, head swelling on the left and right sides, an abrasion over the right abdomen, and a concussion. Medical attention was sought. A police report was filed. The contact stated that the rear end of the vehicle had snapped. The failure mileage was 200,000.
