Two problems related to structure have been reported for the 2005 Lexus IS. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Lexus IS based on all problems reported for the 2005 IS.
This Lexus has the sticky, melting dashboard Issue common in many Lexus vehicles located in southern states.
On the dashboard, the square of material where the srs air bag Is, on the passenger side, keeps melting when it's exposed to heat. The airbag decomposes over time due to an error in design/manufacturing, and that Lexus Is aware of the situation due to other customers that have had the same problem. I have safety concerns about the condition of the air bag as this continues to deteriorate overtime. This situation may affect the quality and strength of the air bag. . After research I discovered this problem has occurred in Lexus vehicles as far back as 2002.
