This Problem Across All Years
ALL FOUR INTERIOR DOOR TRIM PANELS, CENTER CONSOLE, AND DASH ON MY 2008 LEXUS LS460 ARE MELTING, CRACKING AND ADMITTING A FOUL ODOR CAUSING NAUSEA. TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT BULLETIN COVERED BY THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM ZE6 BUT ONLY INCLUDED THE 2007 LS460. HAVING DONE RESEARCH, OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME 2008 LS460 MODEL THROUGH THE 2014 LS460 MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIRS AS "NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED". MY VEHICLES IN USE DATE WAS SEPTEMBER 23, 2008. I WAS TOLD IN EARLY JUNE 2018 BY A LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE EMPLOYEE MY CAR WOULD HAVE THE TRIM PANELS, CENTER CONSOLE AND DASH REPLACED BUT WHEN I CALLED LEXUS CARE I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT INCLUDED AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED AS "NOT ENOUGH CLAIMS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR MY YEAR MODEL". SEEING AS HOW TOYOTA REPLACED THEM ON THE 2007 MODELS, THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE REMAINING YEAR MODELS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

I PUT MY 2 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR SEAT, STRAPPED HER IN, PUT MY BAG (WITH THE KEY FOB) ON THE BACKSEAT AND AFTER VISUALLY CONFIRMING THAT THE DRIVERS DOOR IS UNLOCKED CLOSED THE BACK DOOR WITH MY CHILD INSIDE. IN THE TIME IT TOOK ME TO WALK AROUND THE CAR TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT ALL FOUR DOORS SOMEHOW LOCKED DOWN. WITH BOTH THE KEY FOB AND MY CHILD INSIDE THE CAR; IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER IN TEXAS. LEXUS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SAFE LOCK FEATURE THAT PREVENTS THE CAR LOCKING WHILE KEYS ARE INSIDE BUT THIS CLEARLY FAILED. LUCKILY WE WERE PARKED IN A GARAGE AND MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO COME IN 20 MIN WITH THE SPARE KEY; OTHERWISE TIT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

SUDDEN, LOUD, HIGH-PITCHED, REPETITIVE, CHIRPING NOISE WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. SHE WAS FRIGHTENED AND FELT FORCED TO TAKE HER EYES OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE NEARLY STRUCK ANOTHER CAR. THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE DUE TO A FAILED RADIO AMPLIFIER. THE LOUD NOISE HAD PERSISTED EVEN WITH THE RADIO OFF. *TR
