Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The Lexus RX 330 is on recall by Lexus because the dash has developed cracks,I have been waiting 2 years for a replacement and was told by Lexus of orlando I am number 1024 on their list fro replacement. By the time they get to me according to my calculations the year will be 2095 at the pace that they are replacing the dashes. Also Lexus has a problem with their brake light switches,all of them seem to develop a problem where the vsc,brakes and ABS lights all come on at the same time. This problem has happened to all three Lexus' that I have owned. …”
NHTSA complaint #10904558, filed 2016-09, 64,000 miles“Melting/cracked dashboard passenger side - smells of chemicals - does this affect passenger airbag deployment? I have owned this vehicle for 4 years and was never notified of any programs - dash first started melting/cracking about 6-8 months ago long after their consumer enhancement program went away.”
NHTSA complaint #11245420, filed 2019-08, 140,000 miles“Dashboard crack in 2024, that started on passenger side near air vent, expanded recently causing the passenger air bag off alert to light up and stay on continually. If I were to have a passenger at the time of an accident, the air bag might not deploy, which would be a safety issue. This could possibly lead to a liability issue, so I have not had any passengers but that isn't sustainable, so I contacted the dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #11702447, filed 2025-12“I purchased the vehicle on 17th of june 2021. I noticed the dashboard is cracked really bad. I did research on the Lexus dashboards and found previous recalls on the Lexus dashbaords including the 2004 rx330 models. How can I get this fixed if the recall is not listed for the VIN number on my vegicle?”
NHTSA complaint #11424206, filed 2021-07“The dashboard began to melt. Literally. I tried to wipe it off and the towel melted into the dashboard the dealership blamed it on armor-all. The car was about 7 y/o at the time. I am the second owner. I did not research this until I saw a program that suggested the airbags may be affected. Thank you.”
