OWNERS OF TOYOTAS AND LEXUS VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG OCCUPANT SENSOR LOCATED UNDER THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT DEALERS ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FACEBOOK. IT IS SIMILAR TO THE TACOMA FRAMES RUSTING OUT PREMATURELY. EVENTUALLY THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND TOOK ACTION. IT APPEARS THEY WON'T TAKE ANY ACTION UNTIL PRESSURED.

MY DASH PANEL AND DOOR PANEL'S ARE MELDING AND STICKY

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAS BLACK LINES ON IT, WHICH INDICATES THE COATING BEHIND THE MIRROR IS DETERIORATING IN SOME WAY. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE NOW AND REALIZED THIS IS A MORE WIDESPREAD ISSUE. SOME CUSTOMERS ONLINE HAVE INDICATED IT'S HARD TO SEE ANYTHING USING THE REAR VIEW CAMERA, THOU MY REAR VIEW HAS NOT GO TO THAT POINT.

I CANT SEE IM BLINDED BY THE DASH BOARD ITS MELTING THE CLARE FROM THE SUN IS BLINDING ON THE DASH MELTED PLASTIC

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON REVERSE. IT DOES NOT TRAVERSE UNLESS I DRIVEN 30 MINUTES AND GOING 40 AMD HIGHER, THE RPMS START AT 4K THEN 5K AMD KEEPS GETTING HIGHER. THE ENGINES WANTS TO STALL FROM TIME TO TIME. THE SUSPENSION IS HARD, EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE SHOCKS

THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS WITH THE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS. MANY CARS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM INCLUDING MY CAR. THE WIRING HARNESS GETS DISCONNECTED FROM THE AIR BAG ITSELF AND DISCONNECTS PUTS ON THE AIR BAG LIGHT. TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE $2,500 OUT OF POCKET. LOOKING THROUGH THE FORUMS MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A VERY NORMAL PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS.

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE LIGHTS WILL JUST GO OFF OR FLICKER. THIS CAN SOMETIMES BE CORRECTED BY TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF THEN BACK ON. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR IDLELIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACE AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. CHECK VSC LIGHT ON WITH NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. COKE'S ON AND OFF FOR YEARS

TAKATA RECALL, MELTING INTERIORS, KIDS ARE GETTING THESE MELTING DASHBOARD ON THERE LITTLE FINGERS. NOT ONLY THE DASHBOARD BUT THE DOOR PANELS TOO THEY OPENING THE DOORS. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND THE SUN OUT HERE COULD BE VERY HOT FOR THESE INTERIORS.

THE DASH IS MELTING. AND THE DOOR PANELS ARE RELEASING BLACK TAR LIKE MATERIALS.

UPON PARKING VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I QUESTIONED MYSELF IF THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN OPERATOR RELATED. I WAS PROPELLED INTO A STEEL BARRIER THAT RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND GRILL. LATER THAT DAY THE CAR ACCELERATED A SECOND TIME WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. NO ONE WAS HURT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS SECOND INCIDENT HAS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOYOTA INVESTIGATED THE INCIDENT AND IS EXPLAINING THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND BREAK AT THE SAME TIME WHICH IS JUST NOT TRUE. I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR SELL IT. I'M DISAPPOINTED AT THIS CAR COMPANY.

Crash

INTERIOR DOORS ARE MELTING AND DASHBOARD

I HAVE A LEXUS IS 250 2007, THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL IS LOW GRADE AND UNSAFE, FOR VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING IN DAY HOURS. WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED BY A FRIEND THAT THE LEXUS ORGANIZATION HAVE MADE A RECALL ON THE ALL THE LEXUS CARS SUCH AS MINE, I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN MY CITY HOUSTON TX AND THEY DID NOT HELP ME, AND THEY SAID THE RECALL DON'T EXIST.

ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STALLS OR CUTS OFF. THE VSC LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT IS ON ALSO. THERE'S A BURNING SMELL THAT HAPPENS OFTEN. IN ADDITION MY ACCELERATION PEDAL CAUSES ME ISSUES ALSO WHICH HAS PUT A WHOLE IN MAT BY GETTING STUCK FROM TIME TO TIME.

DEFECTIVE LCD/TOUCH SCREEN. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE TOUCHSCREEN DIGITIZER FAILED ON MY CAR. THE WINDOWS STARTED TO FOG UP AND I REALIZED SINCE THE TOUCHSCREEN FAILED, I HAD NO WAY TO DEFOG MY WINDSHIELD AND OTHER WINDOWS. BECAUSE I AM ONLY ABLE TO ACCESS THE FAN CONTROLS FOR BOTH HEAT AND AC, VIA THE TOUCHSCREEN. SO I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SPARSE EMERGENCY PULLOVERS ON I66-VA SEVERAL TIMES TO MANUALLY WIPE MY WINDOWS SO I COULD SEE. THIS HAPPENED AT THE WORST TIME BECAUSE IT WAS DURING RUSH-HOUR, IN A DOWNPOUR. THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AS VISIBILITY WAS POOR DURING THE DOWNPOUR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON SEVERAL LEXUS/TOYOTA SITES AND THE WIRING OF LCD/TOUCHSCREEN DIGITIZER APPEARS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT AND FAILS REGULARLY. I AM SURPRISED THAT SUCH A LIFE - SAFETY FEATURE WOULD BE DEPENDANT ON A FAILURE PRONE SYSTEM.

TAKATA RECALL , STICKY DASH BOARD AND DOOR PANELS THE STICKY DASHBOARD IS CAUSING LOTS OF GLARE THAT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND FUMES

I OWN A 2007 LEXUS IS 250, I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP EARLY LAST YEAR FOR SOME REPAIRS AND I INQUIRED ABOUT THE CRACKED AND/OR STICKY/MELTING DASHBOARD AND FRONT AND REAR INTERIOR DOOR PANEL , WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST FOR REPAIRS, WHICH IS A SAFET HAZARD BECAUSE THE MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD CREATE A GLARE WHICH MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF I WAS ADDED TO THE LIST. I HAVE EVEN SPOKE WITH THE LEXUS CORP. I RECEIVED AN INITIAL LETTER PERTAINING TO THE PROBLEM WHICH STATED THAT ANOTHER NOTIFICATION LETTER WOULD BE SENT OUT ONCE SUFFICIENT PARTS HAVE BEEN PREPARED AND OBTAINED FOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO THIS COSMETIC CONDITION. NEVER DID GET THE SECOND LETTER AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT ALL REPAIRS HABE BEEN COMPLETED, MEAN WHILE I'M RIDING IN A LEXUS THAT IF I TOUCHED THE DOOR IT DISSOLVES.

HI I HAVE A 07 IS250 SEDAN THE FRONT DASH GET REALLY STICKY DURING THE SUMMER WHEN YOU PARK YOUR CAR OUT SIDE IN THE SUN. DURING THE WINTER OR RAINING SEASON ITS DRY AND PEELS. MY PROBLEM IS WHEN HOT THE DASHBOARD GET STICKY LIKE GLUE

I AM WAITING ON THE FRONT AND REAR INTERIOR DOOR PANELS RECALLS FOR CRACKED AND MELTED AS RESULT OF HEAT OR HUMIDITY.

MELTED INTERIOR, STICKY AND EASILY BREAKABLE DASHBOARD DUE TO HEAT AND HUMIDITY, CRACKED INTERIOR

THE STEERING SYSTEM LOCK AND I CANNOT STEER THE CAR. IT SAYS P/S ON THE DASH PANEL. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE STEERING LOST POWER AND LOCKED 11I COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR.

MY VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE MODELS AFFECTED BY THE STICKY 'MELTING' DASHBOARD ISSUE MADE KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC A FEW YEARS AGO. WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY, SUNLIGHT CREATES A BLINDING REFLECTION ONTO THE WINDSHIELD'MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU. THIS PROBLEM ALMOST RESULTED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT FOR ME TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON WHILE WE WERE DRIVING NORMALLY. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED US THE FIX WILL BE $3400. SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM IS L-SB-0167-08, AND WITH THIS, AIR BAG ON DRIVER SIDE KNEE WILL NOT DEPLOY. ALTHOUGH THIS IS ONLY A SERVICE BULLETIN, IT SEEMS TO ME AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, THEREFORE, NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE CHARGE OF $3400, WHICH BASICALLY IS 10% OF INITIAL COST OF THE CAR, IS UNREASONABLE, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FREQUENT OCCURRENCE REPORTED BY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND HOW THE PROBLEM IS AT THE HARNESS, WHERE CONSUMERS HAVE NO ACCESS TO ON DAILY BASIS. IT WAS REPORTED ONLINE THAT THE HARNESS CABLE IS DESIGNED TO SHORT CAUSING THE HARNESS TO STRETCH, WHICH DAMAGE THE HARNESS OVER TIME. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT TO CAUSE ANY ALTERNATIONS AND REPAIRS TO THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE WHEN HITTING A BRICK WALL HEAD ON. MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WAS HIT ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND FISH TAILED HEAD ON INTO WALL AND I SUSTAINED INJURIES.

Crash 1 injured

CAMSHAFT GEAR GONE BAD AT ONLY 85,000 AND LEXUS IS AWARE OF AND DOES NOTHING TO DO A RECALL. THIS IS A 3000,00 FIX.

LEXUS IS 250 DASHBOARD IS MELTING. VERY STICKY SUBSTANCE, BRIGHT SUN AND HEADLIGHTS CAUSE DANGEROUS GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. COMPROMISES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE CASE THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DEPLOY. LEXUS REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE AS WELL AS TOYOTA. THE MELTING DASH ALSO EMITS A ODOR WHEN IN THE DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND ACTIVELY MELTING, THAT GIVES A HEADACHE. THE "SAFENESS" OF MY VEHICLE IS NOW EXTREMELY COMPROMISED AS WELL AS THE VALUE.

DASH HAS STARTED TO GET STICKEY AND SHINEY WHICH REFLECTS OFF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE AUTOMOBILE , THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGERIOUS IN SUNLIGHT OR BRIGHT STREETLIGHT THIS CONDITION HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME!
