Description of the problem	The dashboard of my 2007 lexus is 350 is melting. Not only is it very sticky, it causes a dangerous glare on sunny days depending on the direction i am driving. I have to adjust my body to lean to one side or the other or up and down to see around the glare. It is dangerous whether the car is in motion or not. The claim is denied by insurance specifying wear and tear and lexus per there being no recall and the program they temporarily implemented around 2014 for replacements has since ended as of may 2017 (shortly before i noticed the dash was melting and not dirty). Estimated cost of repair from lexus as of 9/9/19 is $1,950. This doesn't include fixing the side door handles that have deteriorated as well. I have video as well as the pictures attached.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
