ENGINE QUIT ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH COASTED OF SHOULDER OF ROAD. WRECKER DROPPED AT DEALER. THEY MIS DIAGNOSED A BAD COIL. APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS LATER THE CAR QUIT IN SAME WAY AGAIN. ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP PROPERLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AN IGNITOR CONTROL MODULE. THE ORIGINAL REPAIR CO.COMMUNITY TOYOTA WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE UNSAFE CONDITION THEY PUT ME IN. TOYOTA COMPANY SAYS THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OR SAY IN SERVICE PROBLEMS CREATED BY DEALERS. THE FIRST QUESTION THE 2ND REPAIR SERVICE ASK WAS THE CAR RUNNING ROUGH. I SAID NO IT JUST QUIT. THIS QUESTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASK BY THE TOYOTA DEALER THAT DID THE FIRST REPAIR. COMMUNITY TOYOTA, BAYTOWN TEXAS. I MADE A GOOD FAITH EFFOR
STICKY RESIDUE DUE TO THE MELTING MATERIAL ON THE DASHBOARD CAUSES FUMES. FUMES ARE TOXIC AND IS GETTING IN THE AC AND VENTILATION. MELTING DASHBOARD. STICKY RESIDUE. CLOTHES WILL STICK TO IT. MELTS WHEN IT GETS HOT IN THE CAR. CURRENTLY LIVING IN CALIFORNIA WHERE IT IS SUMMER WEATHER 9 OUT OF THE 12 MONTHS. PLEASE HELP.
THE LEXUS IS300 HAVE THE WORST DASH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY LEXUS DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL ON THEM AS THEY DID FOR THE IS250 OR THE IS350. GOD FORBIDS YOU PARK YOUR CAR AT WORK AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN YOU GET IN YOUR VEHICLE AND YOU TOUCH THE DASH OR AROUND THE SHIFTER, IT FEELS LIKE IT IS MELTING. AND SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THERE IS SOME TYPE OF FUME RADIATING FROM THE DASH ITSELF. #2. THE THROTTLE BODY ISSUE-APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THE ISSUE, SOMETIMES IT TAKES OFF, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T PUSH AIR THROUGH AND THERE IS A 2-3 SECONDS DELAY WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. I ALMOST GOT HIT TWICE
DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND HAS BECOME STICKY AND RUBS OFF ON CLOTHING. THIS INCLUDES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SURFACE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE SUN.
