I have complained to the Lexus dealership as well as sonic about this dashboard. My warranty was valid my first several complaints, pictures were taken by a Lexus rep and sent to corporate. At that time corporate denied complaint I personally called and a rep told me that they have received calls in regards to melting sticky dashboard and they having this problem with people that live in hot humid climate. I was in disbelief that the rep told that to me. I asked the rep who makes a car based on climate weather I live in Alabama and in the summer with the sun beaming on dashboard can possibly cause a car accident. Safety safety has been my main concern this is dangerous. They called me and said they worked pay 20% then a couple days later said 20% only towards parts.

Over a few years the dashboard of my car had drastically become sticky and shiny. Anytime the car is valeted or required to show a temporary parking tag the paper sticks or anything that touches it sticks. Also, while driving it creates a terrible glare on the windshield, causing it hard to see out the window.

The present Is to express my concern in regards to how the interior of my Lexus IS250 has melted and deteriorated. The dash board Is completely shiny which causes a bright reflection in my windshield while driving. Along with the glare in the windshield, the melting plastic could tamper with the functioning of my airbags and may even be releasing harmful chemicals. After reading and researching about the matter I was directed to safercar.gov to voice my concerns and join the thousand of Lexus owners dealing with this horrible situation.

The dashboard is melting in the area toward the front, closest to the windshield glass. This seems to be as a result of the dash material reacting to heat. In the areas where this occurs, the surface of the dash is very shiny and sticky, and there is considerable glare from the dash when driving in full sunlight. In addition, there are noxious fumes emitted from the dash. This is especially noticeable after the car has heated up after being parked in the sun.

Dashboard melting and doors affected too.

- Weston, FL, USA

My dashboard and doors have been melting increasingly over the past year from the Florida heat/humidity. The dashboard is coming apart and is sticky. My vision is greatly impacted by the glare on the window that occurs from the sticky dashboard. I am highly fearful of an accident. My doors are so sticky that my clothes are constantly ruined. I contacted Lexus and they only offered $500 as a courtesy, since I am out of "warranty". Lexus quoted me $3300 to fix the problem. I have seen the news with many others with similar problems and no assistance has been offered, placing mine and others lives at risk.
