Letter from senator nelson on behalf of constituent re 2005 rx330 lexus recall issues not be resolved. *smd the consumer stated five years ago, she noticed the dash around the passenger air bag was beginning to crack and immediately brought the issue to the a friend who at the time was a service writer for a local automotive company. After a few inquires, he was able to determine there had been a number of complains logged for exactly the same issue and lexus was looking into the problem. The consumer contacted lexus, and was assured the issue was being taken seriously and that owners would be notified as soon as they made a determination. The notification came a few years later and sadly, it stated they were aware of the defective part but, the consumer had to wait for an official notice to come in the mail with instructions as to how to proceed. The notice finally arrived and when the consumer contacted lexus, she was put on a waiting list. The consumer stated it has been almost two years and although she has been assured by lexus that it is not a safety issue regardless of how close it is to the air bag the dash continued to crack and extended from the passenger side, in a spider like manner, all the way to the driver's side and the passenger side dash near the air bag was beginning to show orange/yellow foam layer which had previously hidden.
