2007 Lexus IS

Defect. TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006-2009 LEXUS IS AND MODEL YEAR 2006-2007 LEXUS GS VEHICLES. DUE TO INSUFFICIENT TIGHTENING OF THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR CONNECTED TO AN ENGINE FUEL DELIVERY PIPE WITH NICKEL PHOSPHORUS PLATING, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT, OVER TIME, THE PRESSURE SENSOR COULD LOOSEN. IF LOOSENING OCCURS, FUEL COULD LEAK PAST A GASKET USED IN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND THE PIPE AND THROUGH THE THREADED PORTION OF THE SENSOR.

Risk. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR FUEL LEAKAGE FROM THE THREADED PORTION OF THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR AND IF A FUEL LEAK IS NOT CONFIRMED, DEALERS WILL FURTHER TIGHTEN THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WITH THE PROPER TORQUE. IF A FUEL LEAK IS CONFIRMED, THE GASKET BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND THE FUEL DELIVER PIPE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE, AND THE SENSOR WILL BE TIGHTENED WITH THE PROPER TORQUE. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 7, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

Defect. TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2010 PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAN GET STUCK IN THE WIDE OPEN POSITION DUE TO ITS BEING TRAPPED BY AN UNSECURED OR INCOMPATIBLE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT.

Risk. A STUCK OPEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN VERY HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Remedy. TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL. THESE CHANGES ADDRESS THE RISK OF PEDAL ENTRAPMENT DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE FLOOR MAT. REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES. ADDITIONALLY, SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS WILL BE INSTALLED ON CAMRY, AVALON AND LEXUS ES 350, IS 350 AND IS 250 MODELS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE OVERRIDES THE ACCELERATOR IN THE EVENT BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE APPLIED. TOYOTA WILL BEGIN MAILING LETTERS TO OWNERS ON DECEMBER 31, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331, LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

ETHANOL FUELS WITH A LOW MOISTURE CONTENT WILL CORRODE THE INTERNAL SURFACE OF THE FUEL RAILS. AS THIS CONDITION PROGRESSES, THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE.

Risk. OVER TIME, THE CORROSION MAY CREATE A PINHOLE RESULTING IN FUEL LEAKAGE. FUEL LEAKAGE, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.

The headlights continusely shot off while driving. The shift solenoid are stuck off causing the check engine light to continuously remain on. This all began 2023.

Hello: I own a 2007 Lexus IS250. My vehicle has had an ongoing engine misfire issue and has run extremely rough. In addition, my SRS light and there is an issue with the driver's side knee air bag inflator connector. Finally, my dashboard, front and rear door panels have been sticky and melted over time when it is hot and there is no reason why this is occurring. The dashboard and door panels become glossy, crack and have broken off into pieces and the shine/gloss from the dashboard causes blinding while driving due to the reflection of the sun on the dashboard. These issues have been going on for a period of over 10 years and I had multiple accidents due to these numerous issues. I have reported these to Lexus corporate on multiple occasions, including in 2016 and 2017. However, Lexus has refused to fix them stating that they are aware of these issues and had the ZLJ, ZLD and ZLA warranty programs but that they had expired in 2017. However, I later found out that none of those programs had expired at the time I called Lexus's corporate office. One of their programs, the ZLD warranty program, was apparently extended until 2021, however, Lexus failed to inform most vehicle owners of this. These issues are a safety issue. They have caused my car to malfunction for over 10 years and to have accidents. Many Lexus owners have also reported about these issues in Lexus owner forums on the internet and have stated that they have had accidents due to these issues, but Lexus failed to

The dashboard material has degraded into a sticky, high-gloss liquid state. In direct sunlight, this creates a severe reflective glare on the interior of the windshield, causing temporary blindness and significantly obscuring my view of the road, pedestrians, and traffic signals. This manufacturer defect makes the vehicle unsafe to operate under normal daytime driving conditions. While driving on March 26, 2026, the sun hit the degraded dashboard, creating a mirrored reflection on the windshield that completely obscured my view of the road/pedestrians. This is a recurring safety hazard caused by the material's chemical failure. I have contacted Lexus Headquarters (Case # 260327002525) and that they refused to mitigate this known safety hazard because their "Customer Support Program" (ZLZ) had expired.

Engine is consuming too much oil regularly. I have to fill in a quart every 600 miles or so. Interior panels are melting

The contact's son owned a 2007 Lexus IS250. The contact stated while her son was driving at 15 MPH through an intersection, another speeding vehicle that did not have the right-of-way, crashed into the passenger's side of the vehicle, causing the front end of the vehicle to crash into another vehicle. The contact's son was knocked unconscious. The air bags failed to deploy. There was no warning light illuminated. The emergency services escorted the contact's son to the nearest hospital, where he passed away a few days later. The vehicle was towed and totaled. A police report was filed. The contact stated that the vehicle had previously been serviced and had passed State inspection. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000. The contact is requesting a phone call in regards to this case.

My vehicle has a sticky door panel issue that is easily damaged/defected when in contact. Due to the material chosen by the manufacturer, the door panels are easily defected in scratches, sun damage, flaking, etc.. I been in contact with other 2007 Lexus IS 250 owners that have the same complain on their vehicle. I called the dealership and they also confirmed the issue, but they were unable to assist me and recommended me to file a complaint with NHTSA. I simply request to have a recall on my vehicle (VIN) to have my door panels replaced by the manufacturer at no out-of-pocket cost to me. Thank you!

The dashboard melted again, I had the TSB in 2017 to replace the dash. It is now again melted and obstructs your view by shining onto to the front windshield, obstructing the front view of the driver can cause impairment of vision and could lead to collision. The rear view mirror has black corrosion on it making it impossible to see clearly in the rearview and also obstructing your view which could cause an accident due to limited visibility when changing lanes. Sometimes when driving or parking the power steering locks the steering wheel in place intermittently, could not get it to happen at dealer but happened before and is a severe road hazard( Shows P/S in red on dash) dash lights VSC and traction control intermittently light up and go away. Obviously it is a hazard if the steering locks up when driving. Lexus oem alloy wheels chipping, not a hazard but cosmetic and disappointing.

Lexus as made these cars with sealed transmissions Lexus says not to change transmission fluid but 2006 to 2013 has had known issues by many people of transmissions going out and need replaced the car will not reverse and jerks or the drive become reverse and neutral becomes drive at times this is not just a one car issue there are many is250s with this issue just search the web..

Air bag light came on out of nowhere, went to take the car in for diagnosis and they stated that the issue code was the airbag B1861 is open in drivers side knee airbag squib circuit. Now all airbags are disabled due to circuit malfunction.

My vehicle has a sticky dashboard and has a reflection to my front windshield. When it is sunny, that reflection is very blinding when I’m driving. My vehicle is available for inspection if needed. I am scared for myself and my passengers when I’m driving. My vision is 20/20 and this reflection is very bothersome. The issue has been confirmed by my local mechanic. I called the dealership and they also confirmed the issue, but they were unable to assist me and recommended me to file a complaint with NHTSA. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer (I offered to do so but they did not confirm an appointment for any further assistance), police, insurance, etc. There were no warning lamps, or any notices for this issue.

The dash is shining and obstructs my view of the road

I have a 2007 lexus is350 with the melting dashboard and door panels. The dashboard causes a terrible glare that reflects off the windshield and making it difficult to see the road and causes a smell in the car as well.

I purchased a previously-owned Lexus IS 250 in 2017. At the time I was unaware of the "melting dashboard" issue that is associated with the make and model. As I begin to notice the sticky appearance of the dashboard, I began to conduct some research. During my research, I found that Toyota Corporation was aware of the situation and issued an extended warranty and that a recall has never been issued. Unfortunately, my complaints to Lexus other reiterated this decision. The melting dashboard has become a safety concern. When the sun shines on the dashboard, it produces a reflection that makes for poor visibility. (For the date this incident occurred, I am entering that date of filing this form).

UNKNOWN The airbag light continues to come on and off, also the check VSC keeps coming on. Not sure what the issue is. I feel unsafe and uncomfortable with this occurring!

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING GARAGE IN TAMPA, FL. IT HAPPENED WITHOUT A SOUND AND WITHOUT WARNING, AND HASN'T WORKED EVER SINCE.

THE ARS LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF, WAS ADVISED THAT LEXUS NO LONGER MAKES THIS PART SO I CAN NOT GET IT FIXED THIS WAS A PART OF A PREVIOUS CAMPAIGN RECALL BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE ISSUE

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND MELTING. SO IS THE DOOR PANELS.

LEXUS KNOWS ABOUT AND WILL NOT FIX THE 1ST GENERATION OF DIRECT FUEL INJECTION ON THE IS250/350 ENGINES MODEL YEARS 2006-2013. LEXUS CLAIMS TO ME THAT WHEN IN COLD CLIMATES THE FUEL WILL CONDENSE ON CYLINDER WALLS AND THEN CONTAMINATE THE OIL. THIS RUNNING RICH PROBLEM THEN CAUSES THE ENGINE COMPUTER TO TRIP OR PRESENT FAILURE CODES AND THEN DEACTIVATING THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SAFETY FUNCTIONS THAT ARE NEEDED WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN IN COLD CLIMATES. LEXUS SAID THEY HAD A PROGRAM IN PLACE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT IT EXPIRED BEFORE MY CAR PRESENTED SYMPTOMS, THIS WAS DUE TO THE CAR BEING STATIONED WITH ME IN WARM CLIMATES FROM 2008 TO 2012. LEXUS REFUSES TO HELP RECTIFY THE SITUATION.

MY 2007 LEXUS IS350 THATS UNDER 100K MILES HAS THE STICKY DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS PROBLEM AND THE GLARE FROM THE SUN REFLECTS OFF THE DASHBOARD AND INTO THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS CAUSING ME A HARD TIME SEEING. I EVEN BOUGHT A DASH COVER MAT FOR MY CAR BUT IT JUST FALLS OF BECAUSE NONE OF THE TAPE WOULD STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. ALSO ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD BY THE WINDSHIELD, IT STARTED WARPING/ LITTLE BIT OF THE DASHBOARD STICKING OUT. I KNOW LEXUS HAD A CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM FOR THE DASHBOARD BUT MINE ENDED IN 2017 AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER NEVER GOT THE RECALL DONE. RECENTLY, LEXUS STARTED A ZLZ PROGRAM FOR OTHER MODELS THATS BARELY AFFECTED AND I JUST DON'T GET WHY THEY DIDN'T EXTEND THE WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR THE IS MODELS FROM YEARS 2006-2008 SINCE THESE YEARS ARE THE MOST EFFECTED. ALL I WANT IS TO GET MY DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS REPLACED AND I DEFINITELY KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME WANTS TO GET IT REPLACED AS WELL. LEXUS NEEDS TO EXTEND THE CUSTOMER PROGRAM AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE WHO NEVER GOT IT REPLACED. I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T PAY FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T CAUSE. THE MANUFACTURE MADE THE DEFECTIVE PART AND THEY SHOULD BE THE ONES REPLACING IT IF THE VEHICLE IS EFFECTED.

WE HAD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED AS PART OF A RECALL. THIS WORK WAS PERFORMED BY A CERTIFIED LEXUS DEALERSHIP. WHEN WE GOT THE CAR BACK AFTER THE REPAIR, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SHOWED 'OFF' EVEN WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. THIS AIRBAG LIGHT AND SENSOR HAD ALWAYS WORKED CORRECTLY PRIOR TO THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT BY LEXUS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS BEING TOO SHORT AND THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG CAUSING THIS SAME ISSUE FOR MANY OTHER LEXUS OWNERS. WHEN WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO LEXUS, THEY SAID WE WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW ECU SENSOR FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND NOT CAUSED BY THE REPAIR. AGAIN, THIS ISSUE AROSE DUE TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG WHICH WAS PERFORMED BY LEXUS AND A REQUIRED RECALL.

THE DASHBOARD & SIDEBOARD PANELS ARE MELTING AND IS STICKY. IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS WHEN THE SUN SHINES THE REFLECTION IS BLINDING AND I CAN NOT SEE IN FRONT OF ME. I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

THE DASH AND SIDE PANELS GET EXTREMELY STICKY AND. HAVE AN ODOR THAT AFFECTS VISION WHILE DRIVING NOT TO MENTION THE GLARE FROM THE DASH. TOYOTA AND LEXUS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM THAT WAS DISMISSED ONCE THEY AGREED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY FAILED TO FOLLOW THRU LEAVING APPROXIMATELY 3.5 MILLION VEHICLES WITH THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO LEXUS WITH THEIR ATTITUDE BEING NOT A THING ARE THEY WILLING TO DO.

MY DASH AND DOOR COVER ARE MELTING AND PIECE ARE FALLING OFF

STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN WHILE DRIVING/ PARKING AND SOMETIMES FREEZES ON THE HIGHWAY IN A RUN AS IF SOMETHING IS HOLDING ON TO IT LIKE A MAGNET, AND YOU HAVE TO PULL ON IT REAL HARD TO GET IT BACK UNDER CONTROL . I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS THE ONLY CAR DOING IT BUT WHEN I WENT ON LEXUSFOURMS I'VE SEEN THAT THERE WAS MANY CAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE STATING THAT LEXUS RACK AND PINION IS FAULTY AND WILL CAUSE YOU TO CRASH IF YOUR NOT USED TO IT

THE COVER OVER THE FRONT PASSENGER IS DETACHED AND HANGING OPEN. THIS HAPPENED SOME TIME FOLLOWING A RECALL REPAIR. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. BOTH FRONT WHEEL BALL JOINTS FAILED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAD THEM REPLACED AS I WAS TRAVELING AND NOT ABLE TO GO TO A LEXUS DEALER.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND GETTING REALLY STICKY.

HELLO. I HAVE THIS 2007 LEXUS IS250 THAT THE DASHBOARD AND ALL 4 DOOR PANELS ARE TEARING APART, BRAKING, MELTING, BUT WORSE FOR MY SAFETY AND MY WIFE THAT WE BOTH DRIVE THE CAR, AND WE FEEL THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG GOING TO COME APART (NOT SAFE)BECAUSE LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE PIECE WILL CAME OUT OF THE DASHBOARD. I KNOW LEXUS SAID THAT THEY REPLACE SOME BUT MINE WASN'T CALLED AND THE PROBLEM IS TOTALLY VISIBLE THERE. NEED HELP PLEASE. *TR

I HAVE HAD REPLACE THE H.I.D HEADLIGHT BULB 3 TIMES ON EACH SIDE. I THINK THEY MUST BE DEFECTED, OTHER PEOPLE ON LEXUS CHAT ONLINE HAVE VOICED THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THERE LEXUS. WAS THERE A RECALL? ALSO REAR STRUTS LEAKING. *TR

TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING RAN MY VINYL AND IT COMES BACK TO A IS200T MY VEHICLE IS 2007 IS 250 NON TURBO. *TR

DARH BROAD BROKEN NOT SAFE NEED BE REPLACE

MELTING DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS. THIS MAKES THE DASH STICKY AND CAN GIVE OFF ODORS.

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR BECOMES STICKY AND SHINY WHEN UNDER THE SUN. THIS CREATES GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR AND IS SO BRIGHT THAT IT MAKES IT HARD TO SEE THE ROAD DURING THE DAYTIME.

WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY LEXUS THE LIGHT FOR THE SEAT AIRBAG APPEARED. THE DEALER AND LEXUS REFUSE TO FIX THIS UNLESS WE PAY $3600. TO BUT A NEW SEAT. THEY CLAIM THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT I KNOW ITS NOT TRUE BECAUSE THE LIGHT DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL THEY FIXED THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG.WE CANNOT HAVE A PASSENGER ON THE CAR AND CANNOT SELL THE CAR IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION

CAR DASHBOARD IS DAMAGE AND THE DOORS PLASTIC IS PEELING OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD MELTED AND EXHIBITED CRACKS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

THT VSC LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. IHAVE BEEN BANNED FROM LEXUS RE LEXUS CORPORATE ARE ALLOWING LINDSEY LEXUS, LEXUS OF ANNAPOLIS, AND LEXUS OF SILVER SPRINGS, TO USE FEAR, INTIMIDATION, OUT RIGHT LIES ,AND DECEPTION , TO SCARE PEOPLE TO REPAIR THINGS ON CARS THAT SIMPLY DO NOT NEED ANY REPAIR AGAINST ARMY VETERAN AND SENOIR CITIZENS. PEOPLE THEY PERCEIVE TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF CARS. WHILE THE LEXUS CERTIFIED PREOWNED WARRANTY WAS IN PLACE NO ONE EVER ASKED TO REPAIR ANYTHING. BECAUSE LEXUS WAS PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS IF ANY. AS SOON AS THE LEXUS CPO WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED EVERYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS A CULTURE OF CORRUPTION. IF YOUR BUSINESS MODEL NEEDS LIES AND CORRUPTION YOU DON'T HAVE A PROFITABLE, MORAL, PROPERLY WORKING BUSINESS MODEL. THIS ALL STARTED WITH THE RACIST TAMMY OF LINDSEY WHO AFTER A BRIEF EXAMINATION OF THE CAR SAID IT NEEDED $8K IN REPAIRS. I WAS SHOCKED. I TOOK THE CAR THERE INITIALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED TO GET THE CAR CHECKED FOR ANY POTENTIAL NEEDED REPLACEMENTS SUCH AS BRAKES, TIRES, BATTERY THINGS THAT JUST SIMPLY WERE OUT OVER TIME. NONE OF THE PROBLEMS THEY SAID WERE THOSE TYPE OF PROBLEMS THAT ARE EASILY IDENTIFIED . RACIST TAMI TOLD ME IF I DIDN'T MAKE THE REPAIRS THE CAR WILL FAIL AND THAT I COULD GET KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY . I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I ASKED FOR PICTURES AND PROOF. THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ANY PROOF. THE SERVICE MANAGER APOLOGIZED FOR SOMETHING AND SAID T

MY DASHBOARD HAS A STICKY SUBSTANCE, CAUSING A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD AND BLOCKING MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT OF MY FRONT WINDOW. I RECENTLY LEARNED LEXUS HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS, BUT ONLY CONSIDERED IT A "COSMETIC DEFECT." HOWEVER, PER THE PHOTOGRAPHS, THIS DEFECT IS CAUSING SIGNIFICANT IMPAIRMENT TO MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT NALLEY LEXUS IN SMYRNA, GA SINCE I FIRST OWNED IT AND THE RECALL WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY DEEMED IT "COSMETIC." I HAVE SENT PICTURES TO LEXUS'S CORPORATE OFFICES SHOWING THE BLOCKED VISIBILITY - THE SAME PICTURES I AM ATTACHING TO THIS CLAIM. THEY OFFERED ME $400 TOWARDS THE $2000-2500 REPLACEMENT COST. I AM UNSURE OF THE EXACT DATE WHICH THE ISSUE STARTED. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. ONLY IN THE PAST MONTH DID I BEGIN SEARCHING ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS AND FOUND THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN LEXUS/TOYOTA DEFECT. LEXUS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO NOTIFY CUSTOMERS OF ANY DEFECT AT THEIR DEALERS, NOT JUST ONES THEY DEEM AS SAFETY.

AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT WORKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND DEALERSHIP DOES NOT THINK THIS IS AN ISSUE.

MY WHOLE DASH AND DOORS ARE STICKY AND PEEL OFF AT THE SLIGHTEST THING. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND THE IT'S LITERALLY COMING OFF

THE RUBBERY PARTS OF THE DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANELS ARE MELTING AWAY. FREQUENTLY WHEN THEY GET TOUCHED, PART OF THEM GET WIPED AWAY. THE DASH BOARD IS VERY STICKY!

THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT LEAVING DRIVING A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE READ THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON IN THIS MODEL. ALSO, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT COULD LOCK UP COMPLETELY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE YET THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP AND I NOTICED THAT THE DASH WAS REALLY STICKY. I ASSUMED THAT THE DEALER HAD PUT A PRODUCT ON THE DASH JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK SHINY. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR HOME I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE SHINY/STICKY DASH CAUSES A REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS BRIGHT REFLECTION MAKES IT REALLY HARD FOR ME TO SEE WHILE I'M DRIVING. WHEN I GOT HOME I TRIED CLEANING THE DASH BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE.

WHEN I GOT HOME I TRIED CLEANING THE DASH BUT IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ON THE DASH WITHOUT HAVING IT GETTING STICKY.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 LEXUS IS 350 IS MELTING. NOT ONLY IS IT VERY STICKY, IT CAUSES A DANGEROUS GLARE ON SUNNY DAYS DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TO ADJUST MY BODY TO LEAN TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER OR UP AND DOWN TO SEE AROUND THE GLARE. IT IS DANGEROUS WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT. THE CLAIM IS DENIED BY INSURANCE SPECIFYING WEAR AND TEAR AND LEXUS PER THERE BEING NO RECALL AND THE PROGRAM THEY TEMPORARILY IMPLEMENTED AROUND 2014 FOR REPLACEMENTS HAS SINCE ENDED AS OF MAY 2017 (SHORTLY BEFORE I NOTICED THE DASH WAS MELTING AND NOT DIRTY). ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR FROM LEXUS AS OF 9/9/19 IS $1,950. THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE FIXING THE SIDE DOOR HANDLES THAT HAVE DETERIORATED AS WELL. I HAVE VIDEO AS WELL AS THE PICTURES ATTACHED.

INTERIOR MELTING DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANELS, MU 6 YEAR OLD SON GETS IT ALL OVER HIS HANDS AND CLOTHING , THE GLARE FROM THE DASH BLUNDS ME IN THE MIAMI FLORIDA SUN. CANT TOUCH DASHBOARD ARE DOIR PANELS WITHOUT MAKING DEEP CUTS AND DENTS . NOT SURE IF ITS TOXIC OR NOT BUT WINDIWS UP WITH AC AND MY FAMILY DRIVING CANT BE GOOD WITH THESE GOING ON .

RATTLE NOISE ON START UP FROM ENGINE AS IF CAR HAS NO OIL

IN JANUARY OF 2019 I HAS AN ISSUE WITH A FUEL SENSOR AND PAID LEXUS DEALERSHIP 1800.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE DISCOVERED THERE A RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR THE SAME THING. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE REFUNDED MY MONEY.

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT MY CAR ONLY TWO YEARS AGO AFTER MY FIRST LEXUS LASTED ME UPWARDS OF 350,000 MILES. KEEPING THIS IN MIND I FOUND MY 2007 IS250. I WAS AWARE AFTER BUYING THE CAR (BUT 2 DAYS OUTSIDE OF MY DEALERSHIP WARRANTY *FISHY*) ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL. THE DASHBOARD SITUATION IS HARSH. THERE IS A VERY CHEMICAL SMELL COMING FROM MY DASHBOARD, IT FEELS AND PEELS OFF LIKE THE FOAM UNDER IT. IT GETS RIPPED AND TORN TO SHREDS FROM VERY LITTLE FRICTION. I HAVE READ THAT SOME PEOPLE BECAME VERY CONGESTED AND ILL FROM THIS SMELL. IT IS VERY PUNGENT. NOW FOR MY ENGINE, THIS IS A BIG ONE. AS I WAS DRIVING, MY CAR STARTS TO MAKE A LOUD BUT HALLOW CLUNKING NOISE. FOR A LONG TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS MY BRAKES, SO WHEN I GOT THEM CHANGED IT WENT AWAY, FOR A LITTLE. NOW TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING MY CAR (WHICH IS AN AUTOMATIC) COMPLETELY STALLED IN HEAD ON TRAFFIC. LUCKY ME, IVE DRIVEN MANY MANUAL CARS SO I KNEW WHAT TO DO. WHEN I TURNED MY CAR BACK ON, IT HELD IDLE AT 4000 RPM. WHILE GOING 20 MPH IT HOLDS AT 5-6000 RPM. AS WELL AS MY MILES PER GALLON/TANK DROP DRAMATICALLY. WHILE THE CAR IS IN IDLE IN MY DRIVEWAY, IT SHAKES LIKE A FREEZING BABY THROWING A TEMPER TANTRUM.

THE DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANELS GET STICKY IN HIGH TEMPERATURES

VEHICLE DASHBOARD IS MELTED ON DRIVER SIDE, CAUSING A GLARE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND CANNOT SEE WHILE DRIVING.
