Basically they're melting. When I picked mine up, used, the dash was sticky. I thought it just needed cleaning. NOPE. I looked it up, here, and guys were having the same issue saying the same thing. So at least I wan't the only one with a nasty dash. The CO. will be replacing them. I don't know if the dash HAS to be defective? Which some are wondering.
Sticky melty dashboard in the most of the time especially in the direct sun, you touch it and your fingers stick to it cracks all over the dash from the bottom to the top, same with your door panels plus if you scratch it accidentally by your finger nail ex to open or close the door you see a black stuff under your nail and you have a pretty damn mark or scratch on your door panel - over the time you will collect a hundreds of them and they make your door panel looks like crap...

Does Lexus really stand behind their product? Melting Dashboards Concerns
Hello CL community,
Recently I received this letter from Lexus explaining how they plan to address the issue of sticky / melting dashboards. Lucky for me I no longer own the 2IS, but I really wish that the next owner can have the issue corrected by Lexus. Below is a picture of the letter.
What are your thoughts about Lexus addressing the problems associated with their vehicles and standing behind their product? Share them. Thanks

i got approved by corporate to replace dash and all 4 doors in late October. This was obviously before this official fix so you have this additional corporate approval step. I just got the call last week that my parts came in. Taking the car in tomorrow they said it will take a couple days to work on.
Lexus takes care of its customers once again, they couldve easily said LOL tough luck youre out of warranty.

I don't have sticky dash or cracks. However, my dash gets scratched very easily when I use a microfiber towel to wipe my dash. The scratches are permanent and do not come off.
I am wondering if that qualifies for the warranty?

Have you registered yet? I believe this is the only way you'll receive a notice. Call your dealership! Why is this thread gettin beat up about "do I qualify"? No one here can tell you yes or no so please call them.
