What 2007 Lexus GX owners say
Body & structure
Paint is chipping and flying off while driving. Safety hazard for other drivers as well as myself. Bare metal is showing on every body panel and only getting worse. The paint recall needs to be extended to earlier year models as it is affecting these vehicles as well. I am an estimator from a repair facility. Multiple vehicles with the tri coat white are experiencing these issues.
Dashboard for my car started cracking and becoming sticky. Symptoms are worse when car is parked outside. The material used is not heat resistant. There was a recall for dashboard cracks, but it was time bound. If consumer is always parking car indoors, symptoms will take time to appear. As this problem affects safety of airbag and other critical components around dashboard, it should be repaired irrespective of when the symptom start happening. Many other consumers are also seeing similar issues. Lexus forums are flooded with complaints about dashboard. Someone from NHTSA should investigate this in detail.
