Lexus es 350 2007 dashboard is melting and compromised. due to the sticky mess the airbags will not deploy properly and death will likely occur. very concerned about the toxicity of the dashboard as well. it's melting, changing color from black to white and cracking. this carcinogenic material is now poisoning all who ride in the vehicle. included photo does not convey the glossy melting ,sticky reality of it all. the glossy melting reflection causes lots of glare and impairs visibility on sunny days. this issue must be resolved before a life is taken needlessly. lexus refuses to replace the dashboard even though they admit that its a compromised part and have deceptively allocated this safety issue as a warranty problem that has expired. because my vehicle is seldom driven and garaged (69,717k miles) problem did not surface until now.
The dasboard is melting severely which causes a bright glare day and night, causing visibility and safety concerns. there is also a very obnoxious smell to it. i bought this car used and didn't notice the issue at the time. lexus should just own up to it and replace the dash no matter how old the car is since it is a safety hazard to me and others on the road. i personally try not to drive during the daytime when its the worst but thats not always feasible.
Dash of a 2007 lexus es350 is melting in sun. dash is sticky and shines. shine bothers my vision . dangerous driving the car.
During the month of june, 2018 my dashboard top melted and released an obnoxious smell. now when driving facing the sun there is a glare on the windshield that prohibits a clear view while driving creating various safety problems. to overcome this hazard the driver has to put on sun glasses and if driving after sunset the glare from street lights, traffic signals, etc., creates many problems by distorting the view thru the windshield. and now,the defective dashboard cannot be repaired other than replacing it with a new one.

When turning, the 'door open' light comes on and all four doors unlock. this has been happening for about 2 weeks. before this, only light will come.
Melting dashboard-have asked it to be replaced several times. the first couple of times i was told it wasn't covered. yesterday i was told it is covered but could take years to get the parts in. i've been asking about it for several years and now the reflection from the gooey melting dash is obscuring my visibility on sunny days. i live in florida so most days are sunny days. nothing has happened yet but i don't want to wait for a crash to get it repaired.
Bluetooth disconnects all the time, apparently, due to interference from other vehicles. connect function is disabled while the car is moving. this makes one to use phone holding it to the ear, causing a risk of police persecution, as well as safety hazard. *tr
