LEXUS IS 350 2006 Safety Review #10547918

LEXUS IS 350 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 07, 2013.LEXUS IS 350 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY/WIPER . REAR VIEW MIRROR INSIDE VEHICLE IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT! ACCORDING TO LEXUS FORMS AND DEALERSHIPS, THE MIRROR IS FLAKING FROM THE INSIDE AND IF OUT OF WARRANTY WILL COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. I DO UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THIS IS CLEARLY A POORLY MADE PART AND MANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE HAD THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. I FEEL IT IS A THE DEALERS COST FOR THE PART AND REPLACEMENT WHEN IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE OF THE CAR, REGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DO NOT HAVE EXPENDABLE MONEY TO FIX SUCH A HAZARDOUS ISSUE ON SUCH A "LUXURY VEHICLE," THAT I PAID SO MUCH FOR. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY PART AND REPLACE AT LITTLE TO NO CHARGE! *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 80700 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBE262862. Lexus Is 350 2006 problem was reported in CANTON, GA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.

LEXUS IS 350 2006 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2012.LEXUS IS 350 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . THE CAR LIKE MANY PUSH BUTTON START CARS REQUIRES THAT YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN STARTING, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT START SOMETIMES AND/OR REQUIRES A LOT OF FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO START THE CAR WHICH IS APPARENTLY DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER GOING BAD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR OR ABOUT 9000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LEXUS DEALER AND TOLD THEM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS WRONG BECAUSE IF YOU GOOGLE "LEXUS IS350 BRAKE PEDAL HARD" OR "LEXUS NOT STARTING" YOU WILL SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THEIR LEXUS, AND NOT JUST WITH THIS LEXUS MODEL. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE COST TO REPLACE IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1,100.00. AFTER CONTACTING LEXUS CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND POINTING OUT THAT A LOT OF LEXUS OWNERS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY SAID IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL, AND THAT I MUST PAY FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I CAN SEE SITUATIONS WHERE A CAR NOT STARTING COULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT MORE UPSETTING IS THAT THERE IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT MANY LEXUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING, LEXUS PROBABLY KNOWS IT, BUT WILL NOT CORRECT IT OR RECALL IT. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 48000 miles.

LEXUS IS 350 2006 Safety Review #10556521

LEXUS IS 350 2006 car safety problem was reported on June 05, 2013.LEXUS IS 350 2006, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . MY 2006 LEXUS IS 350 HAS A DEFECTIVE, MELTING DASH PANEL THAT REFLECTS A GLARE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IMPAIRS MY VISION TO SEE CLEARLY WHILE DRIVING. NEWER 2008-UP MODELS ARE MADE WITH DIFFERENT MATERIAL & DESIGN AND DON'T HAVE THIS ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN OF THE MELTING DASH TO ASK FOR A NEW DASH PANEL THEY DENIED MY REQUEST BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. LEXUS IS IGNORING OWNERS WITH MODELS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE NEWLY REDESIGNED DASH & DOOR PANELS. LEXUS KNOWS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AS THEY HAVE EVEN RELEASED A TSIB(L-SB-0144-11). NOT ONLY IS THE DASH DEFECTIVE BUT THE DOOR PANELS GET STICKY AND MARKS EASILY WITH BARELY A TOUCH. I WAS AFRAID TO TOUCH THE DASH & DOOR PANELS FOR THE FEAR OF ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGING IT. I EVEN BOUGHT A SUNSHADE COVER TO PREVENT THE DASH FROM GETTING HOT, HOWEVER WHENEVER I TOOK OFF THE SUNSHADE I INEVITABLY SCRAPED THE SOFT, BRITTLE DASH. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD AS ALL OF THESE ACCIDENTAL DAMAGES LOWERS THE CAR VALUE. THIS IS BECOMING A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AS IT IS VERY COMMON ON ONLINE FORUMS LIKE CLUBLEXUS.COM AND MYIS.COM. I ACTUALLY GOT THE IDEA TO SUBMIT THIS INQUIRY FROM ANOTHER 06-08 IS 250 OWNER WHO WENT THROUGH NHTSA. I BELIEVE THE DASH PANEL IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT THE SHINY GLARE FROM THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IT DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE ENDANGERING MY LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I ALSO WISH TO HAVE NEW DOOR PANELS FROM THE NEWLY DESIGNED MODEL'S DOOR PANELS AS THESE NUISANCES CAN SIGNIFICANTLY DEPRECIATE THE CAR'S VALUE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 76000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBE262365. Lexus Is 350 2006 problem was reported in ALPHARETTA, GA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
