Description of the problem	This is in regards to my 2008 lexus is 250 interior panels sticking/melting with poor appearance and its deteriorating which can affect my safety as it will reduce my driving visibility. I have visited the following dealerships: lexus of north miami, jm lexus and lexus of west kendall. On many occasions, i have pointed out the problems with my dashboard and side doors to several different service advisors. I mentioned the issues i had with my dashboard and door but they all just blew it off and stated that there was no problem with it. They all said it was just basic normal wear and tear due to the florida heat. The areas that are affected are the dashboard, driver and passenger side door panels and rear door panels. It is sticky, melting, degrading, leaves prints on your hands and fingers when touched. In addition, it leaves a black residue on your clothes when you accidently bump into it. I know that lexus is a brand that prides itself on pursuit of perfection
