“Dash IS melting and IS sticking to anything that IS rub up against it. I saw a recall on all other model regarding this issue. Except this particular model 2003 Lexus is300. I believe it should extend to this year and model as well. No dash should be melting away with heat! Owner should not be responsible for poorly built parts! For how much I paid for the car, the manufacturer should replace the problem are no cost!”
