2007 Lexus IS Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Internal NHTSA #	10577572

Brand	LEXUS

Model Year	2007
File date	01/03/13
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Black dashboard and inside door panels are melting on my 2007 lexus is 250. While driving, the sun will glare off of the melting dashboard compromising viability to the driver. If you touch the dashboard, an imprint is left. Valet services are unable to place tickets, or any other material for that matter, on the dashboard because it will stick to the dashboard and leave residue. The same material is used for the door panels. As you open the car door from the inside of the vehicle, the black material gets caught under male and female fingernails, gouging the material. I believe this is a manufacturing defect. This is not a result of owner neglect. On a side note; this vehicle has lived in many environments - colorado (dry climate), texas (dry climate), and florida (moist and warm climate). Lexus customer service has been contacted and does not take responsibility for the defect. If i want it fixed, lexus states that it is my financial responsibility to replace. If cosmetics and quality are not important to lexus, safety should be!
