The entire dash board is cracked. There are spots on my leather seats and arm rests are cracked and torn. Also told the truck doesn't have shocks but I can feel every bump.
Noted several cracks across dashboard and is disintegrating. Lexus not helpful subsequent stories on abc action news tampa of known problem with dashes.
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.
