Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We lately have had dashboard cracks or melting although we have garage maintained our car very carefully with very low mileage of 70,000 only. This is not healthy and very harmful to our Lexus experience. By the way, we haven't had such cracks until now due to our well maintenance so that we missed dashboard recall which was expired on may 31 2017.”
NHTSA complaint #11119967, filed 2018-08, 70,000 miles“I was driving on the 59 freeway 1/20/17, when I heard a loud pop, like a rock hitting the windshield. However there was no damage, so I kept driving. I heard a noise where the sunroof is this morning (1/21), and found that the sunroof was completely shattered. Houston has had a lot of rain and hail the last couple days, but I park in a garage, so my car hasn't been outside.”
NHTSA complaint #10946861, filed 2017-01, 157,000 miles“Dashboard is cracking and coming apart. It has become shiny to the point that it gives off a glare. I have a serious concern as to the safety of the vehicle in this condition. Since this could affect my safety, the safety of my family and other motorists, it should be corrected immediately. I contacted Lexus/toyota and they are unwilling to fix the problem at this time.”
NHTSA complaint #10806657, filed 2015-11, 43,400 miles“My car has leaked somewhere every time it rains and the water enters the car somehow and runs under the carpet and puddles under the driver and front passenger feet area. There is also water that puddles under the carpet in the rear foot wells too. It has rotted the carpet over time as it dries out until the next rain event. The car smells weird as a result of this wetness and drying out. We keep the car in our garage but it's impossible to find shelter when you're out and about every time it rains. …”
NHTSA complaint #10779543, filed 2015-10, 15,000 miles“Parent co, toyota issued a voluntary replacement of dashboard due to cracked, sticky, shiny condition in what was an obvious attempt to stave off an official government recall and/or a class action. Parent co, toyota is now stalling by not supplying the dealers with said dashboards they promised to replace. I first brought this issue to the attention of my dealer in may of 2012. Even if the dealer was receiving the dashboards at the rate of 2 or 3 a week as originally promised, it would be another full year or more before they would replace mine. …”
