I was inform by other lexus that there are recall for 2006-2013 lexus on serveral parts. I made a call to lexus dealership of sacramento and spoke to representative she had also confirm the recal on my car and booked me an appointment several days later. I went to my appointment and was denied my services, they told me it had expired and that I had to pay for all my repairs. I was never notified about any recalls. I feel like I was rip off for being 17years old kid. I felt cheated.

Both door panels on my 2006 lexus is 250 are melting and producing the stick sticky black tar looking stuff I guess it's from melting and the odor from that is sometimes so strong when I'm on long rides that it may gives me headaches my daughter has burnt her arm because the door panels are so hot to touch and melting and this is usually all year round because of the sun hitting it.

Toyota/lexus in early 2015 stated it would extend its warranty for the consoles (front and sides) of certain models including lexus is 250 because they are sticky and melting and disintegrating/crumbling. We starting 2018 soon making it 3 years of waiting for these to be replaced. We receive a brick wall from dealers and corporate lexus when we ask about it--always some general response about back up orders and trying and etc. It seems maybe us consumers could use the assistance of the federal safety agency to oversee this process and ensure we receive safe consoles in a timely way. I am extremely concerned about the state of the side consoles. The front has been replaced but waiting going on 3 years for side panels. Thank you.

I have a 2006 lexus when I checked the VIN it shows a recall for the air bag but online also shows if the car is 10 years older the repairs will have to be made by the owner meaning I have to pay for it. .this is a safety issue another thing I notice is the interior door panel is sweating something and gets hazy and wet looking when my nail hits it it leaves a mark. I normally have kids in the car the air bags is a big problem if not fixed soon and it hits 2017 I will have to pay for repairs..
