STRUCTURE
A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR BACK IN 2011, I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE DASHBOARD AND FRONT DOOR PANELS STARTED TO DETERIORATE; LITERALLY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE MELTING. IT FEELS VERY STICKY, IT GETS SCRATCHED EASILY FROM THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH, BUT THE MAIN THING IS THE DASH, IT LOOKS SO SHINY IT CREATES A HORRIBLE GLARE THAT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES THE VISIBILITY VERY DIFFICULT AND IT JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE WITH TIME. I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAY THEY WILL ONLY COVER THE REPAIR PARTIALLY BUT STILL THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD COME OUT OF MY POCKET IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED, LEXUS RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE STICKY/SHINY DASH AND DOOR PANELS. HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MY CAR WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THE PARTS. I JUST HOPE THEY ARE AWARE THAT THIS GOES BEYOND OF BEING ONLY A "COSMETIC" PROBLEM, BECAUSE JUST THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF CAN BECOME A SIGNIFICANT DRIVING HAZARD. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN LATE 2012 TOOK MY WIFE'S IS 250 TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP DUE TO HEAVY RAW GAS SMELL. THE LEXUS DEALER IN NJ STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO OLD SPARK PLUGS...HAD MY FIRST TUNE UP FOR THE VEHICLE AT 100K MILES. WELL THE SMELL DIDN'T GO AWAY. WE RECENTLY MOVED TO FL AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FL LEXUS DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME WE FORCED THEM TO HOLD THE CAR OVER NIGHT AS THE RAW GAS SMELL IS PROMINENT IN THE A.M., THEN GOES AWAY. THEY FOUND THE FUEL HOSE/FUEL GASKET FROM THE ENGINE TO THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. WHY COULDN'T THE OTHER DEALER FIGURE THIS OUT? LOOKING UP COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEB SITE SUGGESTS THE FUEL SMELL ISSUE IS COMMON FOR THE '06 IS 250 MODEL. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR DAUGHTER TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS. SHAME ON YOU LEXUS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR '06 IS 250. STOP BEING CHEAP!! COST US $1,250-1,500. *TR
