   THE AIRBAG COVER WHERE IT IS ATTACHED TO THE DASHBOARD HAS SEPARATED. THE SEPARATION BEGAN ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND THE GAP CONTINUES TO WIDEN. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA RECALL AND AM UNSURE IF THE AIRBAG MAY INFLATE IF THE GAP CONTINUES TO OPEN.

   MY 2006 LEXUS I250 DASH BROAD IS CRACKING AND STICKY AND SO WHEN I'M DRIVING IN THE SUN, IT CREATES A GLARE ON YOUR DASHBOARD. NEVER RECEIVE A RECALL. I DID GO TO A LOCAL LEXUS IN 2014 AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS CAR WASN'T LIKE THIS WENT I PURCHASED IT. WORKED IN AL (BALDWIN COUNTY) AND I NOTICE THAT MY LEXUS INTERIOR STARTED TO CRACK AND MELT DUE TO MY CAR BEING PARKED OUT IN THE SUN DURING MY WORKING HOURS. THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPEN TO A LEXUS
