In april 2014, my mom was contacted by lexus about the melting dashboard issue that has plagued almost 5 million lexus vehicles. She was told she would have to "wait in line" for her customer number to pop up in the system in order to fix the melting dashboard, which has affected her visibility when it is sunny outside as well as her steering mechanism. We do not know if there is damage to the airbags, but with a continuously melting dashboard we can only imagine the damage and danger that lurks underneath. The steering has gotten progressively more difficult as the dash cracks and melts more. There are multiple cracks throughout the dash that have gotten progressively worse and interfere with the integrity of the inside of the car. Soon, the parts attached to the dash may disassemble while she is driving, which can potentially kill other passengers on the road and herself. We reached out to lexus corporate and in march 2016, after multiple attempts to go through the local dealer both here and in north florida, lexus refuses to fix her dashboard and continues to ignore our pleas and demands for attention to this matter. Please refer to attached photos.

Cracked dashboard getting worse over airbag compartment

When depressing the remote or manually opening the rear lift gate sometimes the rear lift gate (door) will start to close automatically and it can only be stopped by pressing the remote or button on lift gate or applying large amount of pressure to hold door open. Twice a person has been in the line of fire and had to jump out of way when placing an item in the rear of the car. On another time the lift gate hit a person in the head when they did not get out of the way fast enough. The lexus dealer has checked the auto closure system and replaced battery in remote and find nothing wrong. The problem still continues once in a while. This is very dangerous and a person could get pinned in the lift gate.

I'm complaining about my dashboard. It's all cracked and I'm afraid the cracks are going to reach the airbag and it's going to pop out. I never seem so many cracks on such a luxury and expensive car. I used to have a ford explorer for 11 yrs and this never happen to it. I know so many people with lexus and toyotas the have this same problems. I think the company should fix it. Very frustrated or fix it for cheap. I would of thought these company would use better materials. Thank you concern driver

My dashboard on my 2006 lexus rx 330 is literally peeling off, it is cracked everywhere and in some spots the dashboard coating/cover is just not there,it has crumbled and fell off.

Dashboard cracking and falling apart. For a $40,000 + car is is a disgrace and discourages me from ever buying a toyota vehicle again. Lexus dealer said $2,500+ to replace. I should not have to pay for their incompetence and use of inferior materials. Especially for a luxury car. The problem would be worse if not for the fact that the car is garaged.
