2004 Lexus GX 400. Consumer writes in regards to replacement dashboard not available to replace curtain-shield airbag module and cracked dashboard. The consumer stated, a year passed and the air bag and dashboard were not replaced. Updated 03/22/2017.

We called germain Lexus in florida on December 1, 2015 to have the NHTSA recall no. 16v-065 repaired. As of this date, we have still not been contacted by them to get this done. They say we are on the list.

Received a letter from Lexus on 11/20/2015 and spoke to Lexus of san antonio, TX. ,north central park. The letter indicated that the entire dash board had to be replace due to a fault of company's defect effecting the airbags. I have since then received a second letter, as it was stated, on the first letter that a replacement would come in to replace the old defective one. Since then Lexus of san antonio has stated, as of this morning, that they are replacing them at 2 a week as parts come in. There are 100 vehicles in front of mine!!! if there is a time frame for replacements, I don't think mine would be replaced ever. Starting from today, there will be 50 weeks till I get called in. Is there going to be a solution for this replacement? thanks. Estela b. Salazar.

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?.

Numerous cracks have appeared all over the dashboard, including over the passenger airbag.

I have a 2006 Lexus Gx470 that the dashboard is cracking everywhere. It's just not my Lexus that have this problem. Everyone I know that have this SUV have the same problem. Lexus is not doing anything to fix this problem. It is the manufacturer defect that needs to be fix. Everyday I see more crack shows up in different places. I believe one day this dashboard is going to come apart. It isn't very safe for anybody.

My vehicle was purchased from a local Lexus dealership in January 2008 and since then has been garaged during the day at my office and garaged overnight in my building's enclosed parking structure. The vehicle rarely sat in the sun for extended periods of time, but in November 2012, cracks on the passenger side dash began appearing. They were razor thin and by the end of 2013, the entire passenger side dash was covered in cracks, directly above the air bag. The Lexus dealership explained that since the vehicle was out of warranty and there was no open recall, any repair would be at my expense, which would be approximately $2,500. I searched multiple online forums (clublexus. Com, Lexusownersclub. Com) and this same premature cracking of the Gx470 dash was being experienced by hundreds of owners. I also own a Lexus ls430 and I have treated it exactly like my Gx470, but thankfully the LS has not exhibited any dash cracking. I feel that the Gx470 dash cracking issue is a safety risk, since the integrity of the dash is being compromised and it may negatively effect the functioning of the vehicle air bags. I feel that this problem is due to poor quality materials and that Lexus should provide a replacement at no cost to the vehicle owner.

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.

My 2004 Lexus Gx470 is garage kept and the dash has several cracks. One around the instrument panel and one above the air conditioning vents and one the passenger side. I keep my dash conditioned and my car is very well maintained. Despite my efforts the cracks continue to get worse. This started a few years ago and continues to progress. I am afraid that will effect the integrity of the airbags should they deploy.

Vehicle had been parked all night, put key in ignition turned key to 'on' passenger side curtain air bag deployed. Vehicle was not running and was not moving, shift was in "park".
