My dashboard is melted and sticky. Can be a safety hazard for glare on the road.
My dashboard of my 2009 Lexus is 250 is melting and causing a significant glare on my windshield when I'm driving the vehicle. It is progressively getting worse. Concern for visibility through the windshield as the dashboard continues to melt. The glare is worse depending on the time of day and direction I'm heading. There was a recall for this issue but only went up to 2008 models. Recall should have include 2009 models as well.
Melting dashboard causing a glare while driving where you can't really see where you are going properly.
The dashboard is melting, its dangerous to drive this car in the daytime because the reflection of the sun causes it to shine on the melting dashboard, making it very difficult to see clearly. I called Lexus and they wont cover this defective part.
Dash material is decomposing, creating a large spot of glare onto windshield. Lexus is well aware of this from thousands of complaints, and in 2011 updated warranty for some vehicles. However they have told me that vehicle is not covered and are being sued buy many for this same complaint. Just adding my car to list I have seen that you already have. This makes it unsafe to drive inthe sunlight!!.
I have a 2009 Lexus is 250 with a melting dashboard and panels that I had my service advisor check after inspecting it he took pictures and sent it to Lexus headquarters and told me to wait 2 months for there reply and its been past 2 months already. So as of Jan. 21. 2015 my girlfriend told me that she has a hard time driving the car because of the glare from the dashboard when the sun hits it so I made a call to the service advisor today Jan. 21. 2015 and told him that I never heard back for my dashboard replacement he said it takes awhile 3-4 months and I explained to him about the glare to my windhield due to the melting dashboard and he tell me all you can do is wait for the recall theres a recall going out for it but I cant wait for recall because I have my girlfriend and my 2 kids ages 9yrs old and 1yrs old ride in the car and this is our only vehicle that we have. Please I need to get this fix ASAP dont want nothing happening to my family thanks in advance mahalo from honolulu,hawaii email me if you have any questions @lacamiento3@yahoo. Com.
The dashboard on my Lexus is-250 2009 has been slowly melting for several years leaving a shiny and wet look and feel. This shiny area of the dashboard is directly over the drivers view and reflects on the underside of the windshield. In heavy or direct light (same at night) the reflected light obscures the view out onto the roadway. I believe in the right circumstances a pedestrian or another car could possibly be hidden by the reflected light from the dashboard. I can upon your request provide a video of the surface and the light problems while driving.
The dashboard is melting becoming shiny and sticky. Makes it hard to see when driving in the sun.
While stopped, heard a pop on left rear window, glass shattered and started falling into car like a waterfall.
The dashboard is melting, sticky and shiny, creates a mirror effect onthe all windshield. It is glaring and reflecting all over the windshield and makes driving not safe. It started few years back and getting worse. I contacted headquarters Lexus and was told by a supervisor that nothing they can do. That it is my problem.
