Description of the problem | Dashboard on this vehicle is slowly melting off causing a hazardous glare when driving. The glare interferes with vision while driving. With the dashboard melting i am now questioning whether the air bags are in full function or if they are faulty. The door panels are staining clothing and handbags as well. Lexus has said this has been reported many times and they are aware but they are unable to assist with this issue. Driving this car during daylight is becoming dangerous. |
