This is a very widespread problem, and an obvious defect. My low mileage, always garaged RX had a cracked dash entirely around all edges and spreading toward the middle. It was just replaced at NO CHARGE TO ME at my dealership. The tech said it seems Lexus is going to take responsibility for these and claim them back against the Japanese manufacturer. I was one of 4 repairs on his desk that day. It is not a safety issue and probably never be a recall, but is a manufacturing defect. My success came after a complaint on the Lexus Facebook Page. Do it! My new dash is beautiful! Also, go to Lexus Dash Defects Facebook Page and see my old dash.

I recently purchased a well maintained 1993 Lexus LS 400, but the battery was said to be a problem. I have only driven it a few times, but I notice when I apply the breaks the headlaps blink. Can this be a symptom of an electrical problem that would explain why the battery was always being drained for the prior owner? I am going to purchase a new high quality battery, but the prior owner told me to keep the + terminal disconnected so it would not go dead. Hmmm :( This does not sound like a practical way to address the problem. Any suggestions? Scott 2 Answers

I had my airbags replaced and the entire dash board of my car replaced. When I put my car in the shop there was nothing wrong with my car before I put it in the shop. Now in less then a week after getting my car out of the shop my VSC light and check engine light came on and will not go off. Does the repairs have anything to do with these lights coming on? In addition, when I got my car back my gas cap and trunk would not open using the button inside the car. 1 Answer
