I've owned my 2014 Lexus Is 250 for over 10 years. I've almost always kept my car covered in a garage at work and at home, and I've never had a problem with the dashboard until now. Just last month (October 2025), my dashboard started melting and getting extremely shiny and sticky during the day - so much so that I can't see out my front windshield because of the glare from the shiny dashboard, making it very dangerous to drive. After my car Is out of the sun for a while (like my garage), the dashboard eventually cools down and Is no longer shiny or sticky. It has a cloudy, smudged look. However, once I start driving again during the day, the sticky, melting, and shiny dashboard returns. I've tried calling Lexus corporate to assist with this serious safety Issue, but they refuse to help, claiming my car wasn't part of the sticky, melting dashboard campaign. I am extremely disappointed with Lexus corporate, as my family and I have been very loyal Toyota / Lexus customers for over 35 years. I've taken my car to my local Lexus dealer for inspection, who has confirmed the Issue and provided me a quote to replace the dashboard for over $2,400. I hope Lexus corporate would reconsider and do the right thing by replacing my faulty, dangerous dashboard.

I went to start my vehicle and it started turning but never started. After a few tries it started and then completely went out every time. I haven't been able to use my vehicle for almost a month now. I got 3 different mechanics to look at it and they still weren't able to get it back working and I all they could tell me was it had something to do with the fuel pump and the high pressure pump.
