The dashboard on my Lexus is-250 2009 has been slowly melting for several years leaving a shiny and wet look and feel. This shiny area of the dashboard is directly over the drivers view and reflects on the underside of the windshield. In heavy or direct light (same at night) the reflected light obscures the view out onto the roadway. I believe in the right circumstances a pedestrian or another car could possibly be hidden by the reflected light from the dashboard. I can upon your request provide a video of the surface and the light problems while driving.

The dashboard is melting becoming shiny and sticky. Makes it hard to see when driving in the sun.

The safety issue with my vehicle Is the "melting dashboard, " it seems to be common with vehicles like mine. The stick-glue like substance Is not only a nuisance but also a safety hazard. It creates a glare on the windshield that makes it nearly impossible to look straight forward, especially during afternoon hours of driving. At times I have to lean to one side or the other. The gooey substance and gashes along with the safety concern over the glare in my opinion call for a recall. This Is not normal. Please look into this issue.

The dashboard Is melting, it gets sticky and when driving in the sun there's a noticeable glare that makes it hard to drive. And the same thing Is happening to the driver side door.
