My dashboard is terribly cracked and it's very shiny. It's difficult to see when driving on the sun

I went to get something out of the back of my lexus, which was parked in my garage, and the handle to the rear door latch is "melted". I went to manually open the rear power door and the plastic or rubber that was covering the manual button was melted and sticky. I keep my car in my garage when I'm not running errands or at work. Not sure when it "melted" cause I usually use the power door button on my remote to open the rear door. I have read other complaints with the same issue.

My car is used to drop off and pick up children from school and grocery shopping, and it has never been in an accident; however, one day I had just got in the car and started it up (my adult son was in passenger seat) and the air bag light came on my dash and the passenger air bag light shows it is not on. My son weighs almost 200 pounds. We even had him get out of the car and sit back down again, thinking the seat didn't register for some reason, but nothing changed. This is a serious safety issue, as if ever involved in a crash, the airbag will not deploy to protect any passenger sitting in the front seat. Also, the dash of my car is cracking and huge spider web cracks have now begun to take over the dash on both passenger and driver side. I keep it garage most of the time so have no idea why this has started happening either. Can send photos if they are needed, just let me know.

While driving straight on the road with no cars near by and no overpasses nor anything over head, I heard an extremely loud pop. My sun roof shattered into millions of pieces. The sun roof is still in tacked but cracked. I pulled over and inspected the car. The sun roof glass is lifted vertically as though the pressure due to the temperature from the outside and the inside of the car caused this to happen

The dashboard has developed several hairline cracks and has become severely brittle, for example if you were to just scrape it with your fingernail the material just puttys up like clay. If not repaired, the cracks will continue to enlarge and the dash will literally disintegrate, possibly affecting the deployment of the dashboard air bags. I feel that the defective dashboard is a manufacturer's defect and it should be repaired/replaced by lexus, as it is a potential safety problem!!!!!

Exterior rear hatch handle covering melted into a sticky goo rendering the handle useless. Dealer advises there is a service bulletin out about this occurring only in florida and that it is not covered under warranty. Remedy is to replace the entire electrical assembly and cover.
