Lexus RX350 Visibility problems by year

While driving my 2008 Lexus RX 350 on a hot day, the gum-like material from the interior door trim began to peel and smear across the inside of the driver's side window as the window was rolled down. This completely obscured my view of the side mirror and rear surroundings, causing a sudden and dangerous loss of visibility. As a result, I was unable to see a nearby vehicle and collided with it while changing lanes. This appears to be a design flaw in the materials used in the door trim, which degrade and become sticky with heat and age, creating a serious safety hazard. This is not a cosmetic issue - it directly compromises driver visibility and safety.

I saw on the internet while I was looking for new mats this year my Lexus RX 350, 2007, vin [[redacted]] was recalled for the dashboard until May 2017. During 2013 through 2018; my husband left me for my friend; both my sons were shot in different cities; one in Nashville, and one in Denver Colorado. The one in Nashville, was shot 10 times by his roommate who forgot he had a roommate. Fortunately, he turned around so his laptop in his backpack got the bullet which would have killed him. He was left with a dominant...

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 lexus rx350. The contact stated while using the defroster, the front windshield cracked. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,955.

Dashboard is deteriorating omitting gases, and causing glare on interior windshield. Extremely unsafe to drive especially if raining.

We are the original owner of a 2007 lexus rx 350. The dashboard has been cracking and crumbling apart, posing a significant safety concern. For example, the airbag unit is built into the dashboard. Dashboard degradation also affects visibility as it reflects in the windshield and crumbling pieces fall off during driving. Upon further research, a 2014 class action lawsuit prompted a warranty enhancement in 2015-2017 to cover the dashboards of several lexus model vehicles, including our 2007 rx 350....

While driving down the highway (approximately 60mph), I heard a loud noise & I did not know what it was at first. Upon looking up, I saw my closed moonroof shattered & I had tiny shards of glass on my shoulder & on the console below it. I inspected the damage after stopping a little later & there is a clear ridge of separation. This was not from a rock or other object with one primary point of damage.

My car has been mostly stationary and kept in my garage for 3 years. This year I experienced the dashboard and ignition area melting and cracking. I feel it may affect the functionality of the airbag. Also, I do not know if there may be some sort of chemical release that is not healthy to me or my passengers. Visibility is also a problem since there is a severe glare from the dash on to my windshield.

Exploding passenger side mirror I own a 2009 lexus rx-350. It's in excellent condition with limited mileage. Last week, we were stopped at a stoplight when suddenly there was a very loud & frightening explosion emanating from the passenger side mirror. The mirror came flying out of its casing, hanging by its wires, & was cracked. Moreover, the fluid that's in these auto-dimming mirrors sprayed/dripped onto various panels, damaging the paint. I did not hit anything. No biker, person, or crazy bird hit my mirror,...

I was driving on the streets and the sunroof just shattered. No impact or anything. I do not know why it shattered but I believe that its a defect. Reported it lexus and they refused to fix it under my extended warranty. *Tr

On the 2010 lexus rx350 there is a design flaw with the wiper/washer system. When traveling with high winds or at high speeds the washers do not work on the upper part of the windshield, hence it can be difficult to see. This can be a safety issue, especially when confronted with road spray in cold climates. There are no adjustment that can be made. It is a fixed nozzle. *Tr

For the last 3 years our vehicle has been emitting white powder from the interior vents. It is very noticeable as the powder settles all over the dash board and becoming progressively worse each year. We live in florida and only notice this problem during the winter when the heater is used. We are worried of this powder being potentially hazardous to our health as we breath it in. I have heard other owners of lexus rx 350 with similar issues. The dealers fail to acknowledge the defect and potential hazard. *Tr
