2007 Lexus ES Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“My dashboard is melting. There was a customer support program that expired in 2017. I never received any information about taking my car in for a dashboard replacement. When it's hot outside the glare is so intense that I am not able to drive the car because I am afraid of having an accident. I am not able to clean the dashboard. It has so much debris on it that can't be removed.”

“I am having issues with visibility since I have a sticky, cracked dashboard, and it's peeling off bit by bit. I have called Lexus corporate multiple times and they said they couldn't do anything. I would have to pay out of pocket or buy a cover which quite frankly it looks ugly on a luxury sedan. When I bought the car I thought it was a cosmetic issue, but it has gotten worse especially on hot weather like the state of oklahoma. It is really concerning as I almost hit a pedestrian when the sun was glaring over my front windshield. …”

“While we driving down the turnpike heading into philadelphia, my wife tried to roll down her windows and then back up. As she did, the glass came off its track and almost popped out of the door. We were going about 70 MPH. At this speed, that window may have come off and flown off our car, hitting another car. This would have been potentially fatal. The only reason it did not fly off, was my wife grabbed on to it while I pulled over immediately.”

“I purchased a certified used 2007 Lexus ES 350 in 2010 with approximately 26,000 miles. In 2014, I left the Lexus in my florida parking lot for the summer (may-october). When I returned from new york, the entire Lexus dashboard had melted! Due to the melting, there is a shiny glare on the windshield which makes it hard to see. I believe this is very dangerous and there should be a recall. I paid a lot of money for this car, and this is a serious safety defect. Lexus should recall these cars and fix this problem.”

“While parked, I let the front passenger window down. When letting the window up I heard a loud pop and the window tipped down in the front leaving a large gap. I was able to get it back in place manually. Took it to the Lexus dealership for service. Was told one of the plastic clips on the glass had broken and the window would have to be replaced. The warranty had expired so the total cost including the window tint was $646.67. I was told this is a recurring problem. I read if taken to a glass repair shop, there is a permanent fix.”
