general problems of the 2007 Lexus IS250

Takata recall, melting interiors, kids are getting these melting dashboard on there little fingers. Not only the dashboard but the door panels too they opening the doors. I live in florida and the sun out here could be very hot for these interiors.

Takata recall , sticky dash board and door panels the sticky dashboard is causing lots of glare that is a safety concern and fumes.

My vehicle is one of the models affected by the sticky �melting� dashboard issue made known to the public a few years ago. When driving during the day, sunlight creates a blinding reflection onto the windshield�making it impossible to see what's in front of you. This problem almost resulted in an auto accident for me two weeks ago while driving through an intersection.

Camshaft gear gone bad at only 85,000 and Lexus is aware of and does nothing to do a recall. This is a 3000,00 fix.

Hi I have a 07 Is250 sedan the front dash get really sticky during the summer when you park your car out side in the sun. During the winter or raining season its dry and peels. My problem is when hot the dashboard get sticky like glue.

On July 6th 2017 at about 4:15 pm I was heading to work. After about 500 feet. Before entering a three way intersection, I released the gas pedal to stop accelerating and cruise to prepare to brake in order to make the left turn. But suddenly the gas pedal accelerated by itself and caused my car to keep accelerating straight towards the side walk intersecting with my direction. I turned my wheel left and braked hard even activating the anti braking system. I also had to use the emergency brake to assist in stopping the car. It took about 150 feet after the left turn before I fully stopped. Even after stopping I was was not able to turn off the engine immediately. I kept pressing on the push start button for a few minutes before the engine finally turned off. The incident reminded me about the gas pedal lock up situation years ago with Toyota. After calming down from the fear and shaking I tried to turn on the engine to see if it would operate normally. After verifying that everything was back to normally. I cautiously and carefully drove it back to my house. I did not use the car for a week and then had it towed to Lexus dealership for inspection. The inspection took one week. They said that they could not find anything wrong with the car. They also test drove the car for less than 10 miles. I was not satisfied with the answer so I contacted Lexus headquarters again to request a third party inspection. They refused because the car was not involved in an accident with another car. They also advised me to keep driving the car because they said they put a lot of trust in their auto-mechanics. However after all this I still have a lot of fear to drive the car but I don't have any other choice. Now I only use this car to go to work and have to always be extremely cautious when driving it due to fear of this incident repeating itself.

Lexus is 250 dashboard is melting. Very sticky substance, bright sun and headlights cause dangerous glare on windshield. Compromises the effectiveness of the airbags in the case that they would need to deploy. Lexus refuses to fix the issue as well as Toyota. The melting dash also emits a odor when in the direct sunlight and actively melting, that gives a headache. The "safeness" of my vehicle is now extremely compromised as well as the value.

Sticky dash and door panels. Glare from the dash is dangerous.

I have a Lexus is 250 2007, the dashboard material is low grade and unsafe, for visibility while driving in day hours. When I was notified by a friend that the Lexus organization have made a recall on the all the Lexus cars such as mine, I called the dealership in my city houston TX and they did not help me, and they said the recall don't exist.

Dash has started to get stickey and shiney which reflects off the windshield making it impossible to see the road in front of the automobile , this is especially dangerious in sunlight or bright streetlight this condition has progressively worse over time!.

The dashboard has a sticky film. It also has become reflective resulting in difficulty seeing out of the windshield thus making driving dangerous in bright, sunny weather. It has been this way for a couple of years, but recently, the dash has become more reflective.

Vsc light, check engine light, traction control light all came on at the same time. Po303 cylinder 3 misfire detected. Have saw online many people complaining of the same problem. Engine is shaky during idle or shaky when its cold. Previous owned a 2009 Lexus Is250 and had the same problem. Heard of some people saying Lexus dealers took cars in and had problem fixed as recall. Not finding any recalls for my car. My mechanic says its a good running car, but something doesn't feel right.

I cant see im blinded by the dash board its melting the clare from the sun is blinding on the dash melted plastic.

It's slimy and sticky and so when you're driving in the sun on the highway or city streets, it creates a glare on your dashboard making it unsafe. The stickiness on the door panels gets caught up in my nails.

My husband was driving on I 295 in maryland, when the car suddenly shutdown. He stated he was going approximately 55 miles per hour and was fortunate enough to be able to maneuver from the middle lane to the side of the road. This is not the first time the vehicle shutdown completely. The previous incidents occurred after stopping at a stop sign or signal. The vehicle has been to the Lexus dealership in maryland for repairs, but each time(at least 4 now) within a 6-7 days, the vehicle shuts down. These incidents did not start until after the dealership took care of the fuel recall, April of 2015.

The dash is melting. And the door panels are releasing black tar like materials.

The dashboard on the car is melted. The melted surface reflects the sunlight and causes a glare directly into the driver's eyes while driving. The effects of melted rubber on the air inside the cabin is unknown, but worrisome.

The front dashboard is melting from the sun also the door handles are breaking in pieces. Its there a re-call on this particular situation. Also the dashboard and the doors are very sticky.

The dashboard is melting in the area toward the front, closest to the windshield glass. This seems to be as a result of the dash material reacting to heat. In the areas where this occurs, the surface of the dash is very shiny and sticky, and there is considerable glare from the dash when driving in full sunlight. In addition, there are noxious fumes emitted from the dash. This is especially noticeable after the car has heated up after being parked in the sun.

I have a 2007 Lexus Is250 in which the dashboard and side door molding are melting causing the rubber to come off the dashboard. There has been numerous complaints from Lexus owners that they are having the same issue. Investigator reporter for channel 6 in miami has file a complaint agains Toyota and Lexus to make this a mandatory recall to fix this items,Toyota is aware but they do not want to replace the dashboards unless we pay $900. 00 for the repairs. If they know there is an issue they need to fix it instead of charging the consumer for there mistake.

Approximately 2 years ago my entire dash board and side panels started to melt. I have contacted Lexus and they continue to say they are waiting on the manufacturer for parts. I live in marrero louisiana with extremely high humidity and temperatures. This has been a safety hazard. When the sun hits my windshield, the glare from hitting the melted dash completely blinds me. I have to lean to the right side just to see out of my windshield. It is melted to the point of it being untouchable without getting sticky glue on your hands. Anything that rubs against the side door panels creates grooves and marks because it's like clay. Now theres a recall with the takata inflators in the front passenger airbag which really concerns me because its affected by high temperatures and humidity causes degrading of the part. Since my dash board is completely melted to the consistency of hot glue, I can't imagine that helps with my airbag situation either. I have been contacting Lexus for the past 2 years with no luck. If I should have an accident due to the dash glare, I will expect to have the production company held accountable. Any help you can offer with getting this message across to anyone at this point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I purchased my 2007 Lexus is 250 in 2010. Over the last year the dashboard has melted to the point to where it is untouchable and obstructs the vision in my view from the sun glaring against the melted dash. My door are also soft and crumble to the touch of fingernails, keys, rubbing of any kind. I have contacted Lexus and was told I will be put on the list for recall but they cannot give me a time frame of when the recall will take place. When I drive, I can barely see the the glare it causes in my view of the windshield so it is very dangerous at this point. It is also impossible to clean, towels and paper towels will stick to the dash into the gluey substance.

My dashboard is melting. It's melting so bad this is safety issue in my opinion. When sun is shining outside around noon, reflection from melted dashboard is so bad on windshield, you can't even see it. If this leads to an accident, I'll surely sue Lexus for this.

Over a few years the dashboard of my car had drastically become sticky and shiny. Anytime the car is valeted or required to show a temporary parking tag the paper sticks or anything that touches it sticks. Also, while driving it creates a terrible glare on the windshield, causing it hard to see out the window.

Melting dash and door panels.

Dashboard and door material melt/are melting. If the car is not in the garage the dashboard/door material will be sticky to the touch. Dashboard area has melted and reflects on the mirror as a glare. Issue continues to get worse over time and the lining of the doors is peeling. This affects the doors which have the same material as the dashboard.

The dashboard is melting and when the sun shines it reflects on the windshild compromising my visability causing me to almost get into a car accident. The door panels are also melting. I cannot continue to drive in danger. I have attempted to get resolution from Lexus but have not been successful for years. This issue with the dadhboard is dangerous. I have been waiting for too long for Lexus to hrlp me out but with no success.

The dashboard and side doors are sticky, shiny and melting. When glare hits it is very hard to see because of the sun hitting the dashoard. On the doors pieces are coming off since the material seems very soft.
