2011 Lexus IS250 Problems, complaints & recalls

The dashboard is defective in that it melts when exposed to heat and becomes sticky. Although initially it started off as a cosmetic issue, the melting of the dashboard causes it to be very glossy to the point where it reflects onto the front windshield and creates a blind spot on the front windshield when driving. This poses an immediate safety hazard when driving as it's sometimes difficult to see objects that are right in front of the car while driving. The defective dashboard has been confirmed by the dealer...

Valley Plate Leak. The Valley Plate Leaks are notorious on this vehicle. There have been several forums about it.

Takata airbag has been recalled for this model. Attempts have been made to contact via instructions on recall letter from manufacturer. Was informed someone would be out to repair it and no one showed up.

First started with steering getting stuck a bit while changing lanes now the electric rack and pinion makes noise steering left and right while parking in and out also while driving.

Fuel is not delivered to firing chamber due to failure of fuel pressure sensor. This will cause engine to shut off when on the road. No obd-ii code is present since the failure of the fuel pressure sensor will put the car in protected mode, no code can be read. When engine is shut off, it will have no power to steering or brake system, put driver in a very dangerous situation. I was lucky enough to find out after arriving home. The problem appeared the next morning.

The door panels and dash board gets sticky and melt over the years and the seats starts to tear and become loose

I was driving in heavy traffic (stop and go); I was fully stopped with my foot on the brake - I eased off the brake to slowly roll forward - absolutely did not place my foot on or anywhere near the gas pedal - as I eased off brake, I felt a strong "surge" from the front of the car- the car accelerated and I slammed in to a truck that was directly in front of me- I looked at the dashboard as this was happening and the "check engine" light and the "traction" light were both on - I tried to brake but the brake pedal was hard - I was stopped due to the impact of hitting the truck-- I am attaching the edr report as retrieved by a company lexus contracts with

Takata recall - my car is supposedly affected by the recall, but the recall will not actually show up in the system- it sounds like it only happens in 2019 - which is greater than 6 years after the car was put in service. I am concerned about the safety of my passengers and loss of value to the car. Additionally, the car is currently in pa but will be moving to warmer weather climate and this will cause the degradation to happen more rapidly. Lexus reports there are no issues, which is not true according to their own website.

My dashboard is melting and it's hard to see when driving because of the sun reflext

"Takata recall"-received notification via us mail may 2016, stating that my vehicle model was subject to recall due to the takata airbags. When I called the number provided I was told to not have anyone ride in the passenger seat of my vehicle and that I'd be contacted once the remedy was available for my vehicle. This is a major inconvenience not to be able to utilize whole car. It's now a full year later and still no remedy. This is dangerous and needs to be taken care of now.

Takata recall - on the webpage https://www.Nhtsa.Gov/recall-spotlight/takata-air-bags, the 2011 lexus is250 awd is shown to be included in the takata airbag recall, however when searching by the vin, no recalls are specified. I have not received any recall information from lexus. Please advise if the car is included actually included in the recall. Thank you.

Received notice of passage air bag defect on may 23,2016. No remedy provided, only suggested that no one ride in front passenger seat. As of june 13, 2017, more than a year later, no remedy has been provided by lexus. It is unreasonable to not allow a passenger in the front seat for this long a time (over one year so far). We need a remedy now.

Takata recall. It has been 12 months since we were notified of this recall, and the dealership has yet to have a remedy available, with no possible date in sight. We do not feel safe driving the vehicle and cannot accommodate passengers. This is not a timely remedy.

Takata recall: this has been a recall since 5/2016 and I have yet to get a remedy from lexus. It is really inconvenient to not be able to have any passengers in my passenger seat for this long. This needs to be handled asap!

"Takata recall" since recall no repair has been obtained yet, presumably due to ''no replacement parts available'' says sole local dfw dealership which supposedly put me on a waiting list.

Takata recall in june 2016 I received a letter notifying me that my passenger airbag was on recall for being dangerous & harmful if inflated and to not have any front seat passengers in my vehicle. To date, there hasn't been a fix for the recall which has been going on 8 months now. I am very upset that this issue hasn't been resolved. No one has checked on my vehicle nor offered a loaner. I recently took my car in for service & a rental car option was mentioned. That isn't acceptable when I'm paying a car note...
