48 Equipment problem of the 2008 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 10/31/2019

The dash Is melting and Is extremely sticky. On sunny days, the sunlight reflects off of the dash and onto the windshield obstructing the driver's view. In addition, anything that gets on the dash sticks and cannot be removed. This debris also reflects on the windshield causing Issues with visibility. I have contacted Lexus directly and have been told they will not repair or replace the dash because this was only a TSB and my car Is now beyond the term for the TSB. This Is something that should be a recall because it prevents the driver from being able to see what Is happening in front of the vehicle and could cause an accident.

62 Equipment problem of the 2012 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 11/10/2018

My 2012 Lexus Is250 has sticky dashboard and door panels. The dash Is wet with a sticky like substance which also causes a glare and stains anything that touches the surface. The door panels are peeling horribly and extremely soft to touch. Bumping your finger on the door panel leaves fragments of the door panel under your nails. Also any part of the dash as well. This dramatically drops the appearance of the interior and Is a must fix. I don't understand why they only did the recall on 06-08. It was like such when I bought the care in 2018 with 59k mileage.

65 Equipment problem of the 2007 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 08/10/2018

The dash and side panels get extremely sticky and. Have an odor that affects vision while driving not to mention the glare from the dash. Toyota and Lexus are aware of the problem as there was a class action lawsuit against them that was dismissed once they agreed to take care of the problem. They failed to follow thru leaving approximately 3. 5 million vehicles with the problem. I have spoken to Lexus with their attitude being not a thing are they willing to do.
