Description of the problem | When accident it get hot outside my dashboard starts to get soft and shiny and sticky. When it gets to that point in the middle of the day it creates a glare reflection on the front windshield that makes it hard to see. I try to bring this up to 3 separate lexus dealership and the all of them don't want to take responsibility for the issue instead they accuse me putting some type of chemical over it which i have not put a thing over my dashboard or my door panels not even water. They don't really care about driving safety hazard for the consumer's safety, all they wanna do this just push us away and said it was something that we did or something that we put on the dashboard. And they claim that they have never heard about this issue before when i obviously do a search on the form a lot of consumers is having this issue everywhere. Buying a $40,000 car we should not have to deal with this driving safety issue of the dashboard melting having a glad reflection on the front windshield that will cause an accident eventually and it will be a big lawsuit. |
