During the month of June, 2018 my dashboard top melted and released an obnoxious smell. Now when driving facing the sun there is a glare on the windshield that prohibits a clear view while driving creating various safety problems. To overcome this hazard the driver has to put on sun glasses and if driving after sunset the glare from street lights, traffic signals, etc., creates many problems by distorting the view thru the windshield. And now, the defective dashboard cannot be repaired other than replacing it with a new one.

Dashboard is melting. I was told I should have gotten a recall letter. I did not receive a letter pertaining to the replacement of the dash. It is between 96 to 100% for months here and the dash gets so hot even to touch it.. I put a sunscreen over windshield and punctures it. I am not asking for a replacement but just repairing it.. I love my car and intend to get new one next year but I plan on keeping it for another year. I went to sterling mccall Lexus and was told mine offer expired may, 2017. Had I received a letter I would replace it then. Please help me with this matter. I would be forever grateful.

While driving at a slow speed, my front passenger window fell out of the car when I went to raise it. The window didn't break, and I made it home and reinstalled it and held it in with tape. This happened last winter. I have done a lot of research on this, especially in the Lexus forums, and this has been happening to other owners as well. In my case, the window clips did not break, but rather there was insufficient adhesive applied to the clips, or the adhesive simply failed. In my opinion, this is a safety issue for which Lexus should take responsibility. Other, later years were also affected, and the cause is usually 1 or both broken clips. Other owners have reported as many as 3 windows being replaced the Lexus, at great cost since the entire window must be replaced. In my case I found an auto glass service that will do it for $250, compared to the dealer cost of $700. But the issue is safety! if this happened at highway speed and either the driver's window fell out or any other window fell out, it might cause loss of control or possible injuries to others or a passenger. Attached is a tsb released by Lexus.

Dashboard is very sticky and shiny. A voluntary warranty service recall was issued. The condition produces a glare on the windshield which is very dangerous. Warranty extension reimbursement offer expired in May 2017. My car has been garaged for 2 1/2 years. Received service note and just set it aside as car was garaged. Recently relicensed vehicle and immediately on first bright day was reminded of the issue. Lexus says offer expired, period. I can certainly pay for the replacement ($1500). I contend this is an ongoing safety issue and should have been a recall. I contend Lexus/Toyota avoided a safety recall by preemptively issuing a service/warranty notice. How many ES350's are out there with dangerous glare on the windshield? this is not a cosmetic issue. It's a safety issue.

The dashboard is melting cracking and coming apart, we noticed the problem in July, August 2017, did not know it was known problem to Lexus. In December 2017 I goggled how to repair melting dash and found out this was a problem that Lexus was aware of, we bought the Lexus ES350 new in 2007 and are original owners, Lexus notified us about the air bag recall but never notified us about the melting dash problem. They replaced the air bags in 2017 when the dash was melting and did not say anything. Now when I called them they said sorry, the warranty period ended May 31 2017. They need to replace owner dash board now

I was driving and pulled up next to another car as I pulled off the highway, when the driver motioned to me for directions I immediately tried to rolled the window down to speak to rge person. The passenger side window makes a popping sound and sounds like it jumps out of the track. This prevent opening and closing the window. I just purchased the car from jm Lexus and now told. Have to pay over $800 to repair it. I had a bad experience with the salesman when we made the purchase which made me swear off purchasing another vehicle through them or even recommendibg them. This is my third purchase through them I should have listened to my instinct.. I parked my car in parking garage or on the street. When I return I noticed the interior dash melts and peels when the temperature raises.

Melting dashboard-have asked it to be replaced several times. The first couple of times I was told it wasn't covered. Yesterday I was told it is covered but could take years to get the parts in. I've been asking about it for several years and now the reflection from the gooey melting dash is obscuring my visibility on sunny days. I live in Florida so most days are sunny days. Nothing has happened yet but I don't want to wait for a crash to get it repaired.
