Dash cracking, sticky trunk button, door pan els discolored . First owner purchased new. Garage keep entire period since purchase in 08. I always wanted to have a lexus and on my 50th bithday and purchased a new one. I wanted a lexus because it meant quality. I understand toyota /lexus issued a notice to dealers but not a recall notice. I never recieved any notice from my local dealer or lexus regarding this defect until the replacement plan had expired. Class action suit was dropped when toyota/lexus agreed to replace dash and door panels back 10 years and no milage cap on certain vehicles, mine included. I would like this replaced in a timely fashion at no charge. I can't even trade or sell my vehicle for real,value of a garage kept vehicle with these issues. Why is it lexus can't do better for its customers and not leave me in limbo? I wouldn't purchase another lexus or toyota in the future if the manufacture won't stand it's product. This could effect up 3.5 million toyota and lexus vehicles. Can the dept of,transportation contact the manufacture and put a fire under their tails? I would appreciate any help and guidance on this isuue. Thankyou for your help.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 lexus is 250. While driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated when the accelerator pedal was depressed from a stop position. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed with carbon build up. There was no repair solution. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer several years later and the motor was rebuilt. The vehicle had several top carbon clean outs, but the issue persisted. The contact also stated that the dashboard and the inner door panels were melting. The failures made it difficult to see out the widow due to a glare coming through the windshield.

2008 lexus is250 (VIN [xxx]). Received a recall on dashboard. Crown lexus in ontario california approved the replacement of dashboard as well as all doors in october (?) 2015. I have been calling the dealer multiple times, but still unknown when the parts will come in. I have called lexus directly on estimate time to ship out parts, but they never provided any answer. I am hoping to sell the car, but resale value would be affected by this not to mention the glare causes safety concern.

My dash on my car is shiny and sticky from the defected meterial it is made out of and causes glare from the windshield when driving. Door panels are also leaving sticky residue behind on my hands when I touch the door panel. Lexus dealership admits from 2006 to 2008 there is a defect in the interior meterials melting and becoming sticky, but will not do anything to fix it because I am out of warranty. Please help this is very annoying that they dont care.
