My dashboard has a serious cracking issue. It is also sticking and is melting caused by heat. I was never notified that there was a recall and replacement on the dashboard. Once I researched the dashboard issue online I contacted lexus on june 01, 2017. The told me that since it was not a safety issue and it was only cosmetic issue that by law they did not have to notify me. I think this is very unfair.

The dashboard is cracking and getting sticky. While reading about some of the lexus complaints I saw several complaining about the liftgate control on the back of the car melting. I checked and sure enough so is mine. I went to use it and my fingers went right through. Now it is totally useless. I will call lexus but don't expect any assistance. My car is always garaged and only has about 15k miles.

Hatch handle for rear door melted. Rear interior module buckling.

Rubber on tailgate handle melted. I believe this is due to an electrical problem. I went online and found many other similar complaints. This may be a fire hazard. Now the tailgate goes up, and then automatically comes right down. The first time it happened the heavy tailgate hit me on the top of my head causing a great deal of pain and some bleeding. I have read that the same thing has happened to others. This is very dangerous. It does not always happen. It tends to happen when the weather is cooler out.
