My dash panel and door handles are melting in the sun. The dash panel is especially problematic as it is extruding a shiny clear tar like substance that causes a significant glare visibility problem while driving into the sun, causing me to nearly miss another vehicle turning in front of me at an intersection.

On 08/27/2018 at 11:30 a. M. I was driving on the extended on-ramp to route 288 in chesterfield county, va at about 55 mph. It was sunny, not humid and the temperature was in the high 70's; the roadway was smooth and clear of obstructions. My a/c was on, the windows were up and my moonroof was closed and the shade protector was shut. There were no vehicles in my sight in any direction. All of a sudden, I heard a very loud noise, like a shotgun going off in a closed room, and in my rear view mirror I saw debris coming from my vehicle and landing on the roadway behind me. Thinking that something had come from the bottom of my car, I pulled over and examined the rear and underneath of my vehicle. Finding nothing amiss, I was surprised, but was even more surprised when walking back to the driver's door, I observed that my moonroof had exploded! there was a large hole in the middle of my moonroof, and the missing glass was obviously what I had seen flying from the back of my car. There was pieces of glass on the shade. Had the shade not been shut, that glass would have entered the interior of my vehicle. My car had been parked in the shade all morning except for a period of about 30 minutes while I ate lunch in a restaurant, where it had been parked out in the open. I had only been driving the car about five minutes before the incident, and before driving the car I had observed the moonroof and had noticed no issues with it. I have had no prior issues with the moonroof.

The trunk opening lid melted.

The sunroof exploded while driving down the highway with no one near us. . Sounded like a shotgun blast. Pulled over to find a 10" diameter hole in the sunroof. The visor was closed and was full of glass fragments, but was not damaged, indicating an outward explosion. No marks or scratches on car. Very scary. Contacted dealer about warranty, and was declined.

My interior of my 2007 Lexus Ls460 appears to be melting! I am not sure what is causing this problem as I use a sun shade. . . The dash and door panels are stickys and gummy . . . . Lexus told me there is nothing they will do about it. . . . I consider this very unacepptable from a $85k automobile!.

As I was driving into my home garage, my car suddenly accelerated on its own and eventually crashed in the back wall of the garage. Depressing the brakes failed to stop the vehicle before crashing. Prior to the crashing incident, the unintended acceleration happened at least two other times but the vehicle eventually stopped before an impact. Around the end of March 2014, my brake lights came on and I then took the car to Toyota for repairs. Thereafter, I reported the crash incident to Lexus who then had the vehicle inspected on April 9, 2014. The Toyota eaa inspector sent me a memory stick with the edr data (crash data) from my vehicle but would not provide an analysis or interpretation of the data and subsequently denied my claim for the damage incurred to my car.
