Seven problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 2005 Lexus GX470. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Cracking dashboard and steering wheel (leather portion) sun burnt just missed the extended warranty enhancement program less than a month (05/17) so Lexus offered me a freaking dash mat up to $200. What a total joke!.
My dash has cracked all over the complete dash , not a small part , all of it . I was notified a year ago and it is still not replaced . You should not allow this to go this long and then an issue with an airbag came in the mail and it too has not been repaired ! now the news says I live in a damp and humid area so does this mean I am in more danger ? why are they not repairing these problems and why is the NHTSA not helping us?.
Dash board has begun to crack. Concerned there would be a safety issue if the air bags were deployed. Apparently this is a common issue for the Lexus 03-09 in the GX model and also the RX model. Lexus is full aware of the issue, but has happened after warranty expired.
Notice what looks like a cut across my dashboard, so I asked my daughters did anything happend while they had the truck(?). I than googled cracked dashboard on Gx470 2005 and find many Lexus owners have this problem. With all owners with the same complaint, I looked for a recall. To my surprise as much as I talk about my Lexus they droped the ball(my last Lexus).
I saw jen strathmore's news, watch dog report on cracked/melting dashboards. I want to file a complaint that I too have this problem. The cracking started a few years ago and has slowing continued. My entire dash is literally cracking off in pieces and there is foam padding exposed. It is getting worse. I'm concerned about the safety with the air bags. I drive a Lexus SUV, an expensive car. I did bring it to jm Lexus, the customer service manager said there was nothing he could do about it, now. I didn't think I had a leg to stand on, until I saw the multiple complaints by others with the same issues on television. Please let me know what I should do next. Thank you, lisa bezick.
Growing cracks all over the dash. This is a known defect with many other reported incidents.
The dashboard is cracking.
