Example complaints

“The manufacturer needs to recall the dashboard in these vehicles, they become very shiny and sticky in the heat and causes extreme glare while driving. I am worried about how the vehicle safety will be affected by such a sticky surface covering the air bags. Lexus dealership was of no help, this needs to be a recall!”
NHTSA complaint #10609088, filed 2014-07, 71,000 miles“Vehicle dash is deteriorating/breaking down and the glare is so bad it is difficult to see out of the windshield as the glare reflects onto the windshield - in warm weather the dash is very sticky and gummy and almost impossible to clean or wash as everything sticks to it - this is a known issue as I have seen several other complaints and blogs - Lexus should definitely do something about the deterioration of the material used in their dashes causing a definite safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10660671, filed 2014-11, 137,000 miles“I had the windshield replaced in my 2007 Lexus is350 on 2/3/2010 by a repairman who works for state farm insurance. This complaint is about the manufacturer of the windshield glass. The glass manufacturer is pilkington and they made the windshield that was installed in my car. Pilkington makes two grades of auto glass, oem and after market. Oem has to meet the auto manufacturers specs and the after markey does not. The windshield put in my car had an optical distortion on the passenger side sight line. The windshield was chipped on the top of the glass. …”
