1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2007 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 06/03/2020

My 2007 Lexus Is350 thats under 100k miles has the sticky dashboard and door panels problem and the glare from the sun reflects off the dashboard and into the windshield which Is causing me a hard time seeing. I even bought a dash cover mat for my car but it just falls of because none of the tape would stick to the dashboard. Also on top of the dashboard by the windshield, it started warping/ little bit of the dashboard sticking out. I know Lexus had a customer support program for the dashboard but mine ended in 2017 and the previous owner never got the recall done. Recently, Lexus started a zlz program for other models thats barely affected and I just don't get why they didn't extend the warranty program for the Is models from years 2006-2008 since these years are the most effected. All I want Is to get my dashboard and door panels replaced and I definitely know other people with the same problem as me wants to get it replaced as well. Lexus needs to extend the customer program again for the people who never got it replaced. I feel that I shouldn't pay for something I didn't cause. The manufacture made the defective part and they should be the ones replacing it if the vehicle Is effected.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2003 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 09/02/2014

My car has 51000 miles on it and I'm told my alternator should be replaced. I took my car for one things and the dealership found 4 different Issues which 2 of the Issues I am aware of. Grant you all the parts in my car are the original parts. I service my car according to Lexus 25,000 - 75,000 miles services. How can I well kept and seldom drive vehicles have an alternator Issue? on February 7, 2003, there was complaints of the (bulletin#:t10001308) cd becoming jammed in cd changer. Improvements were made to the Is 300 cd changer mechanism but I wasn't notified. I took my car to westside Lexus regarding an ongoing dashboard melting situation and cd player Issue. Lexus finally agreed to replaced dashboard after 3 years and I am grateful but the cd changer jams now. If I haven't done my research I wouldn't know there was initial complaints regarding the cd changer. Over the month-to-month weird cd sound of tumbling then playing it progressively gotten worse. My 5- disc cd player will not play cds at all and sound Is cd tumbling around in the player. Westside Lexus stated I needed to replace the cd player at $500. 00 and I should not have the Issue at all. I should have been notified as soon as the Issue was addressed. I shouldn't have to pay $500. 00 for a 2003 Issue.
