Description of the problem | My dash board became sticky and i was unable to fiat my windshield program. I contacted lexus and they said the neighborhood of a recall. I looked on the internet and there was plenty of recalls. They replaced my dashboard for me but charge me approximately $500 to do that. They said the car was out of warranty it was a good-faith response. I found the article on abc news in tampa june 14, 2014 the reporter indicated that there's been several problems with lexus nissan cars that have had this sticky dashboard. I know lexus new about it because was all over the internet. They refused to acknowledge it. But i had to pay out-of-pocket and order to be able to drive my car to work. I think this is terrible. They knew about the dashboards. I also have stickiness on the left panel of my car starting to begin. I'm afraid to take that in also my coffee million dollars to get that fixed. It's so sad they knew of this problem. *js |
