My vehicle's dashboard was melting. I thought it was some kind of condensation. When trying to wope it, sticky gook came off on my papertowel explosing the bottom level. Of the dashboard. I went through all the levels all. The way to corporate Lexus legal in TX as the fumes were making me sick. I am a senior citizens who was not planning on buying another vehicle as I drive very little. After 4 months with no help from Lexus having symptoms of anxiety, confusion, headache and extreme fatigue, I pushed myself to go drive to dealership which was s lot further than I was comfortable driving thr car in that condition. I told them I did not want another Toyota or Lexus so itraded it in for a larger used vehicle than so I did not gave to drive the Lexus home. I was feeling even worse after the ride yhere and had developed a nagging little cough that does not go away. I also googled my symptoms which sound like neuroinflammation that could be associated woth a melting dashboard. This has been a horrible experienced for me all around. I have plenty of documentation with Toyota/Lexus.
Exterior driver's door mirror failure. The mirror Is insecure, loose, unstable, not secured to the door, and rotates freely on its own. This condition makes it impossible and dangerous for the vehicle's driver to observe any vehicle approaching from the rear, left of the driver's side. The mirror Is not secured to the vehicle's driver's door and spins freely. The driver cannot observe any approaching vehicles when pulling out from a parallel parking spot. This condition Is this vehicle's "2nd" such incident. Previously, this identical situation happened to the mirror mounted on the passenger side door about 2 years earlier. The maintenance record Is on file at the dealership. I paid the chatham Lexus dealership approximately $1000. 00 to correct this.
My car experienced sudden unintended acceleration. I was at a stop light preparing to turn right when my car accelerated of its own accord crashing into the vehicle in front of me. My foot was firmly on the brake, but I had lost control over the vehicle. Whatever electrical defect I experienced, it was sufficient to rev the engine by itself and override the braking system enough that the vehicle advanced forward in an out-of-control manner. It was unintended, unexpected and beyond my ability to control. Failing to recognize the braking system, my vehicle collided into the vehicle a second time. Because my foot was on the brake and my vehicle still advanced forward, I initially thought I had been hit from behind. However, the erratic rpm behavior and the vehicle's continued acceleration while braking confirmed I was no longer in control of the vehicle. Acting promptly, I immediately took the gear shifter out of drive and put into neutral. It was then and only then that I regained control of the vehicle: it stopped accelerating, stopped revving of its own accord and began responding to the braking system. Please note: my foot was not on the gas pedal, for as soon as I took it out of drive, the rpm returned to normal (I. E. The erratic behavior indicated by the tachometer's rpm, stopped). Had my foot been on the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal, the revving would have continued to behave as before; but it did not. (I do not have an all-weather floor mat. It Is neither here nor there, because in the event that I did have one, you would expect the rpm behavior to continue when put into neutral; but again, all behavior returned to normal when the vehicle was put in neutral. ) though I am sympathetic to those that panic in a moment of distress, I was of a present enough mind to know what was happening. An electrical engineer with intimate knowledge of the computer system for this vehicle would be the best to assess what went wrong from a technical perspective.
This regarding 2010 Lexus Is250 and we owned one. This vehicle has problem with dashboard getting sticky it Is kind of melting due to heat and humidity. And Lexus Is aware of this problem. But they are not aware of Is because of sticky dashboard it releases oily fume and it goes on to windshield and makes it foggy. This Is on going problem. My son Is driving this vehicle and according to him Is in the long-distance driving he has to pull over multiple time to clean windshield . Just because of our car has salvage title Lexus will not pay or replace this sticky dashboard. Having a salvage title does not mean car Is not on the road and no-one behind the driver seat. . I would request you to look in to this matter. This Is life and death safety concerns to us. Thanks.
The dashboard has melted, producing a significant glare that impairs my vision through the windshield when the sun hits it. The dashboard Is sticky.
