The Inside Melts

I am very disappointed in Lexus and Lexus Brand Engagement. My last three cars have been Lexus LS. My wife and I currently have two Lexus LS - a 2012 and a 2015. The interior of the 2012 is melting away (sticky and cracked) - especially the four arm rests, the glove box and center console. I brought the 2012 to the dealer yesterday and was told if I brought the car in by March all the parts would have been replaced free of charge with new ones under a customer support program ZLZ. I called Lexus Brand Engagement yesterday and spoke to them today. They claimed that they sent a notification to my wife in 2018. She does not recall receiving it. Since, I was unaware of the ZLZ program, I drove the car with all its flaws for several years. My wife and I have been servicing our cars at the same dealer since 2006. No one at the dealership ever commented on the deteriorating interior or the existence of the ZLZ program. According to the Lexus Brand Engagement representative it was my responsibility to report the problem, not the dealers. The logic - it was not a safety related issue. I am completely dissatisfied with this response.

It was in warranty and I received a loaner of course. But they had to remove the entire engine and transmission. This is the 11th Lexus I've owned and loved everyone of them. But honestly it has me wondering if I should dump it.

the ls 460 as we know it , will be replaced shortly , with a a high tech version , too expensive for youngprofessionals , and too complicated for the over 45 crowd . the dash / interior is full of the features found on the 2013 GS model , which was released in may 2012 . The GS isn't exactly a barn burner in terms of popularity . the lexus factory is incentivising the current ls 460 models , where the price is close to a 2013 GS. ( + or - ) $ 60 k for a midsize bmw wanna be . if you are looking for the ultimate all around , ultra quiet , concert hall on wheels with status , grab an LS while they last .

Found over $8k in 4 unrelated issues ranging from front and rear suspension parts to seals and engine leaks on a vehicle with only 65,000 miles on it.

Great looking classic Lexus before Toyota went crazy with the exterior design.
