2011 Lexus IS350 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

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.

I presented my 2011 lexus is 350c, vin [[redacted]] to treasure coast lexus in fort pierce, florida, on july 28, 2016. They advised that no parts were available to make the repair.

"Takata recall'. Affected areas are the front passenger airbags . I am being told that despite this recall being issued for over a year or more that the remedy is still not available. I find this highly dangerous and terrible business practice for the lexus corporation; not to mention putting my personal safety at risk.

Nhtsa recall # 16v-340 I was informed in writing over 6 months ago. Nothing further has happened since. The air bags should be replaced immediately if defective! I'm filing a complaint that lexus is taking too long. Based on attached screenshot, their excuse is: "recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available" not acceptable.

Takata recall. This recall is taking too long and there is no resolution date proposed. I am trying to trade-in or sell my vehicle and receive offers $4000 or more less then kbb value. I don't want to use the vehicle especially with a front seat passenger. The rear seats are not convenient in the is250c model as it is a two door and the rear seats offer a cramped space for passengers.

Lexus notified me in may 2016 of a recall for takata airbags, but has not taken definitive action to replace my airbag so my car is safe to drive.

Takata inflators. This is a zone a vehicle. Lexus claims to have no idea when the recall will be repaired, but advises us not to drive the car with anyone in the passenger seat. So, the car is basically unusable.

"Takata recall" I would like to ask if I can just have the airbags taken out. It is ridiculous to not be able to have people in my car while driving. How do I know if it is safe for me to be driving the vehicle. The air bags sound like they can hurt more than just the passengers. I feel it is my right to have the bags taken out and to depend on the trusty seatbelt. Can I have this done at no charge to me? I also want to know why did they use a different airbag manufacturer for the passenger side. Why not...
