Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

Car runs great until check engine light comes on followed by vsc and then brake light. When those lights come on it runs rough and brakes make gear noise under driver's side hood area. Brake is very sluggish and almost non existent when it fails. Let it set, clear fault and runs fine until warm again. Have had all brakes checked and in good condition by mechanic today and problem persists. Appears to be an ecu or other electrical and not mechanical problem. Is extremely dangerous and should be addressed by manufacturer.

Brake,trac off,vsc,abs light are on

Like most lexus is300 owners, my car exhibits the "melting" dashboard issue. My main concern is the melting material could be releasing chemicals that is orderless/toxic. Lexus is refusing the repair the issue out of their own pockets.

Something on windshield that makes it hard to see, it impairs my vision. Dashboard is literally melting! It's sticky! Now i don't understand why lexus doesn't take care of their customers and send out a recall. Fix their mistakes and do it right. I understand they tried to pass some cheaper products off on their vehicles but that only bought them some time. Word of mouth is their worst enemy right now. *tr

Dashboard is melting. *tr

I put $3000 on 2002 lexus and had it for three days when my 6 year old daughter and myself was heading onto commercial turnpike south. I was approaching light on corner of 441 and commercial when my brakes just gave out on me completely and i quickly responded and pulled up emergency brake and turned into gas station to have it towed to mechanic and which it was put on machine and detailed everything that was wrong with car including the malfunction on the abs system which controls brakes and steering. I was saved by not getting onto turnpike and my quick maneuvering to emergency brakes which helped very little. My pedal went completely to the floor. I called and told mosche which was the guy i signed contract with and told him to come and get this car and i want my money back. He told me no refunds and i found out within three days i should of gotten my refund back. They took my car back after i fixed it and paid over $500 for and will not give me another car nor my money back.. They robbed and lie and should not be selling dangerous cars with knowledge of no brakes. I was told to come get the car a week after because of them putting brakes on them so they had knowledge of something wrong with brake system and failed to tell me.. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 lexus is 300. While driving 30 mph, a glare appeared on the windshield that affected the contact's visibility. The contact noticed that the dashboard was melting and a sticky residue covered its surface. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 144,500.

As i'm driving the dashboard starts to melt and it's very sticky,paid good money for this car and there's no recall or warrantee for this defect. *tr

I would like to report a problem with the lexus is300 models 2001-2005. There is some type of defect in the frame or front arm bushings that cause excessive wear on the front inner tires. Despite the car being regularly aligned, uneven and excessive tire wear continues to occur. Tires will sometimes last less than 8,000 miles and can wear down to the steel in the inner sides. This is a common occurrence and complaint among is 300 owners. As far as i know, there has been no fix from lexus and can lead to potential blowouts on the freeway due to tire failures.
