SURFACE OF DASHBOARD PLASTIC MATERIAL MELTED IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SEAT AND BECAME SHINY, CAUSING GLARE WHICH IS BLINDING THE DRIVER WHEN DRIVING IN FULL SUNLIGHT. THIS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF LAST YEAR, IN SPITE OF THE CAR BEING KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND NOT EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I LEARNED THAT TWO LAWSUITS WERE FILED AGAINST TOYOTA/LEXUS IN 2014 AND 2017 AND MY CAR IS AMONG THOSE TOYOTA/LEXUS ACCEPTED UNDER A "CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM" (ZE6) TO REPLACE ABOUT 3.5 MILLION DASHBOARDS THAT MELT, BUT SINCE THIS WAS NOT A RECALL I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF IT. I AM REQUESTING TOYOTA/LEXUS TO REPLACE MY MELTING DASHBOARD FREE OF CHARGE AS THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD - PICTURE ATTACHED.

TODAY WHILE DRIVING MY IS 350 ON THE INTERSTATE, IT LOST COMPRESSION QUICKLY AND BLACK SMOKE APPEARED FROM BENEATH THE CAR. IT CONTINUED TO SLOW AND STOP RUNNING. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN MY 2007 IS 350 HAS ABOUT 85,000 MILES. I CALLED AAA AND IT WAS PUT ON A FLATBED TOW AND DROPPED OFF AT A LEXUS DEALERSHIP. I'M WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THE CAUSE IS AND THE COST. HAVE OTHERS REPORTED THIS ISSUE?

WELL FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THE INTERIOR ( DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANELS-ALL FOUR) WERE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL; THEY ALL HAD THIS STICKY RESIDUE ON THEM. THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE DASH BOARD BUT NOT THE DOOR PANELS. IT HAS BEEN QUIET SOME TIME AND WHENEVER I CALL ALL I EVER GET IS THAT THEY HAVE 3 PANELS AND THEY'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE FOURTH ONE TO COME IN. I'VE EVEN CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE OF LEXUS AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THIS EITHER. THE PLACE WHERE I TAKE MY CAR TO IS CHATHAM PARKWAY LEXUS LOCATED @ 1120 CHATHAM PARKWAY, SAVANNAH, GA. 31405 (912) 231-0005.

THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE AND TACHOMETER NEEDLES ARE LED LIGHTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ILLUMINATED. IN WARMER CLIMATES THERE IS A VERY HIGH RATE OF FAILURE WELL INSIDE OF THE 100,000 MARK. THE LED LIGHTED NEEDLE FAIL, HENCE YOU CAN NO LONGER NOTE YOUR SPEED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND 3 OR 4 VENDORS THAT SPECIALIZE IN THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT IS SO PREVALENT. NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE YOUR VEHICLE SPEED AT NIGHT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS 350. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SIGNIFICANTLY. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER BEFORE IT STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, AND VSC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (LEXUS OF PLEASANTON, 4345 ROSEWOOD DR, PLEASANTON, CA, 94588) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE VALVE SPRINGS FAILED AND A PIECE OF THE VALVE SPRING FRACTURED. THE VALVE SPRING FELL INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD AND DAMAGED THE SHORT BLOCK WHERE THE PISTONS WERE CONNECTED, ALONG WITH AN OIL LEAK TO THE SPARK PLUGS. THE VALVE SPRING AND SHORT BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE CYLINDERS RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V309000 (ENGINE) FOR THE ENGINE VALVE SPRINGS IN JULY OF 2017 BY THE DEALER (LEXUS OF CONCORD, 2001 MARKET ST, CONCORD, CA,94520); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MAD

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND LEXUS HAD ISSUED A TSB FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR 2006-2007 (SOME 2008) LEXUS IS MODELS. THIS TSB WAS ONLY COVERING 5 YEARS OR 70K MILES. I'M CURRENTLY AT 90K MILES AND THIS AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. APPARENTLY THE AIRBAG HARNESS THE CARS WERE FITTED WITH WERE TOO SHORT, AND CAUSES A FAULT IN THE SYSTEM WHEN ONE OF THE CONNECTORS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM GETS LOOSENED UP. THIS DISABLES THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE MANUFACTURING FAULT, AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AS OPPOSED TO A TSB LIMITED TO A WARRANTY PERIOD.

I BOUGHT MY CAR USED IN 2015 AND ABOUT 1,000 MILES AFTER DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE DRIVER'S KNEE AIRBAG AND SAID THE ENTIRE AIRBAG WIRE HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND QUOTED ME $3,500. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT LEXUS HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A TSIB ON IT (L-SB-0167-08). I ALSO READ MANY OWNERS AROUND THAT TIME WERE ABLE TO GET IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY (72MO OR 70K MILES). UNFORTUNATELY THAT EXPIRED FOR ME 2 YEARS BEFORE I EVEN BOUGHT THE CAR. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED THAT THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE, THAT IT'S RELATED TO AIRBAG SAFETY AND THEY ARE STILL ASKING ME TO PAY THOUSANDS. IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. PS: THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES THAT I WASN'T AFFECTED BY THE TAKETA RECALL BUT I LATER GOT THE RECALL NOTICE.
