What owners wrote
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.
My dashboard and doors have been melting increasingly over the past year from the florida heat/humidity. The dashboard is coming apart and is sticky. My vision is greatly impacted by the glare on the window that occurs from the sticky dashboard . I am highly fearful of an accident. My doors are so sticky that my clothes are constantly ruined. I contacted lexus and they only offered $500 as a courtesy, since I am out of "warranty". Lexus quoted me $3300 to fix the problem.
