“My interior of my 2007 Lexus LS460 appears to be melting! I am not sure what is causing this problem as I use a sun shade... The dash and door panels are stickys and gummy .... Lexus told me there is nothing they will do about it.... I consider this very unacceptable from a $85k automobile!”

“The dash board surface has become gummy and the reflection of the shiny, gummy surface on the windshield very frequently affects the visibility and impairs my capacity to see safely, specially on very sunny days. There has not been an incident yet, but I wanted to report this because I am afraid of the potential danger of an accident due to impaired visibility. I began noticing the dashboard's surface deterioration about two years ago, when the warranty had already expired.”

“A few months ago I started noticing that the dashboard of my car was getting shiny. I thought it was just some substance that I could wipe off but found it was very sticky and deteriorating. While driving on the highway this week the reflection was bad enough to cause a distraction, enough that as soon as I got home I searched the internet for what I could do to fix it. I thought mine was an isolated case but found several articles indicating that this is happening to many others as well. …”

“Last year we reported a sticky sheen and powdery residue on all the pebble grain vinyl- includes dashboard, glove box area, strips under the windows and center console between the front seats. Car was taken to Lexus dealer in n. Miami, fl twice with the complaint. They said they did not know what it was. Now there are reports that this is a prevalent problem with toyotas and Lexus. The sheen is causing sun glare problem as well as overall look and sticky or powdery texture. Reports are online as well as nbc news television this past monday, oct. 13th.”
