The dashboard on our vehicle has started to "melt. " while there was a warranty enhancement program in the past (we did not receive notice), the problem has developed after the window for repair closed. This Is a true safety Issue now as visibility from the front windshield Is hindered due to reflection. The dealer has asked us to contact Lexus and Lexus will not help us anymore, stating this Is an out of pocket repair. Given that this Is a known defect and a potentially serious safety Issue, I urge you to initiate a true recall.
The door panels and dash board gets sticky and melt over the years and the seats starts to tear and become loose.
The dashboard of our 2011 Lexus Is has begun to "melt," for lack of better words. We have owned the car since 2011 and it has approximately 162000 miles now. The problem has arisen over the last two years or so and Is a known Issue for cars of that period. Lexus claims they had an enhanced warranty program for this Issue, but we were never contacted and the Issue was not an Issue then, but clearly this Is a known defect in their materials. Replacing the dash on our own would be very costly. The glare resulting from this Is terrible. I have reached out to Lexus and they will not take responsibility for the faulty material and I am concerned this Is a serious safety Issue as visibililty Is affected. Rather than a warranty enhancement, I urge a recall to prevent accidents.
