Three problems related to door have been reported for the 2007 Lexus IS250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Door problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2013

For several years now my dashboard has been very sticky in the daytime which causes a very bright reflection / glare. The side door panels also are like deteriorating and easily scratch and peel off. The vehicle is very sticky and leaves a black / dirty mark on your hand if touched.

2 Door problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2013

The door panels from front and passenger side are melting very bad. If I stick my nail by mistake, nail goes through and I get the sticky black rubbery material in nail. I pay too much for the car and Lexus only replace the dash board because it was also melting.

3 Door problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2010

Approximately 3 years after purchasing this vehicle, the dashboard and the doors started to get very sticky. When I inquire about this with the dealer in March of 2012 I was told there was nothing they could do, that I needed to have it replaced at my own cost. The problem continues to get worse as the dashboard/doors are melting and are also cracking.
