Just off the phone with Dan Krauth from NBC 6 South Florida. He is looking to speak ASAP with owners that have the melting dash and door panel problems.
I'm located in So Cal and have this problem as well.. I can't even leave a parking permit on my dash without it getting stuck... I'd imagine Lexus Corp would want to avoid a lawsuit and just issue a recall. Let's remain hopeful!
I'm in Miami and I have just started the process of seeing what can be done before i saw this post. I was told I needed to make a service appointment and my dash would be evaluated by a technician and then they can file a claim for me and then see what happens from that. I mean when the sun hits the dash during the day it creates a glare on the windshield that makes it hard to see. This is a big safety issue to me.

SoCal as well and feel your pain. When I bought the car (used in March of this year) I wanted to clean the dash as it looked fuzzy. A quick drag of my cleaning cloth across it quickly taught me that this was not going to work and now it is worse off. Also if you hit it with your fingernail reaching for something or even the door panel tops, you will get a nice divot into the dash and a sticky, black mess under your nails. My Lexus sunshade even gouges it when putting it in and out.

Mine isn't quite that bad. Yet. Mine stays inside at home and I use a sunshade when I'm out. Looking at yours there just makes me cringe thinking of how sticky it must be and all teh dirt it collects. That would be a disaster here in SoCal with al the dust/dirt we've got in the air most days...
