Default Common 2IS Problems

Can anybody point me in the right direction... is there a "common problems" thread here? If so, I can't seem to find it and it would be extremely handy for simple/quick diagnosis.

Cmon problems are navigation touch screen failing , dash melting, and windshield side moldings cracking for all ISx50s. The IS250 has carbon buildup issue but its covered by Lexus. All other problems are not but if you ***** about it to Lexus corporate, they may fix labor free so half price. That's the briefs.

Yes there are, unfortunately there is no easy stickied thread with them all on display for new users making it a pain in the *** reading through hundreds of threads. Hence my post. A stickied "Common 2IS Problems" thread would be a welcome addition.

This basically sums it up, but yeah spend more time reading up on the site. There's tons of info on here, I wouldn't count on anyone to give you the quick answer as you'll also want to know about all the small minor annoyances.
