Melting dash
Just wondering if anyone has problems with their dash starting to get soft and sticky from the heat? I'm out of warranty but the dealer told me to bring it in anyway. They mentioned that it's a problem. Anyone else with this problem?

Mine is usually in the garage too but if I do take it out, it would be nice to protect it somehow.
OP, I think I read somewhere that the IS300s had issues with the airbag cover on the dash getting sticky. There was a debate whether or not it was chemicals used on the dash or the material used for the air bag cover since it only happened to that part of the dash.
I have yet to hear anything about 2IS.

It happens on the 2IS as well. Probably needs a lot of sun and UV to do it though. Mine went bad and was replaced under warranty. Now I have clear ceramic on the windshield for extra protection.

No bad products. This is the first car that has done this to me. It almost seems the dealer knows about this problem.. The part that is melting is the front part of the dash by the windshield. It's the sun for sure but why? I've seen dashed crack but never melt. I'm taking my is350 in for the valve springs recall today. They said they will look at it. Again they said it's a problem. Maybe it's a problem here in south florida.

The big deal is it will get worse. And when dust starts to stick on it and you just wipe it with a wet cloth, it will start to leave a lot of marks. I left a figger print on the dash by just a soft touch. It's a lexus. It should not be doing that period! I spoke with a tech today and he told me they have changed a few dashes already.
