Something on windshield that makes it hard to see, it impairs my vision. Dashboard Is literally melting! it's sticky! now I don't understand why Lexus doesnt take care of their customers and send out a recall. Fix their mistakes and do it right. I understand they tried to pass some cheaper products off on their vehicles but that only bought them some time. Word of mouth Is their worst enemy right now.
Dashboard Is melting.
As I'm driving the dashboard starts to melt and it's very sticky,paid good money for this car and there's no recall or warrantee for this defect.
Over the years my dashboard has deteriorated, the rubber has become sticky and nasty just like all the other Lexus vehicles in complaints. I understand there Is a recall regarding this matter but not my year. I do not understand why this wouldn't apply to all the 2002 models that are experiencing the exact same Issue! please, could someone enlighten me? me vehicle has 120,000 miles on it and Is in immaculate condition other than the dashboard and sides of console. Help, I love my car and I deserve to be a part of this recall also!! thank you in advance for your help.
I would like to report a problem with my Lexus Is300 models 2002. There Is some type of defect in the frame or front arm bushings that cause excessive wear on the front inner tires. Despite the car being regularly aligned, uneven and excessive tire wear continues to occur on the inner portion of the tires. Tires will sometimes last less than 5,000 miles and have worn down to the steel in the inner sides of the front tires! this Is a common occurrence and complaint among Is 300 owners. As far as I know, there has been no fix from Lexus and will lead to potential blowouts on the freeway due to tire failures. This condition Is unacceptable. Therefore I am requesting an investigation and recall to fix the problem before a fatality occurs due to the resulting tire failure because of the front suspension defect.
My Lexus dashboard Is melting away. The dash has already been replaced once by the dealer but it Is again melting away.
Shortly after I purchased my new car (Lexus Is300 2002), the dashboard, cover to air bag (on dash) and console began to melt/soften and become sticky. When I first reported to Lexus, they did not do anything. After a while, I continued to complain and they replaced the cover panel on dash to the air bag but not the entire dashboard/console. In all the years of service at Lexus of palm beach, they never offered to repair, even though this did not seem right. After hearing recent story on wptv news (consumer watchdog, jenn strathmann), I have now learned that I am not alone and there are countless stories similar to mine. . Read more...
