Wiper problem #1

I have a 2008 Lexus is 350 in which the interior rear view mirror has become hazy and filled with black lines limiting rear visibility. I have read several blogs and been informed that this is a common problem with this model. This seems to be in violation of the following safety guidelines, however Lexus does not feel the need to replace the mirror without $1000 out of owners pocket. < 571. 110 571. 112 > subpart b - federal motor vehicle safety standards �571. 111 standard no. 111; rearview mirrors. S1. Scope. This standard specifies requirements for the performance and location of rearview mirrors. S2. Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries that occur when the driver of a motor vehicle does not have a clear and reasonably unobstructed view to the rear.

Wiper problem #2

Melting dashboard. Melted material is causing glare on windshield that is in direct eyesight. Occasionally impairs road view.
