Thank you for the info WWEST.

My car was a 2004 SC430. I was literally forced (by my Doctor) to get rid of the car, after the HVAC system was finally replaced, and Lexus USA told me they would take full responsibility if anyone else got sick.
Unfortunately, the story didn't end there. In addition to the mold exposure from the car, I also had "long-term" anti-freeze exposure. In spite of complaints to the local dealer about the terrible odor from the A/C and also anti-freeze odor (for over a year), the problems were not properly addressed into the damage had already been done to my health. I am now forced to take medication (three different ones) twice a day FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. If I fail to take the medication, I will get sick with edema within about 12 hrs. Not a very good way to go through life.
The Doctors will not talk about how much time I have left, because the anti-freeze literally goes through your entire system, damaging kidneys, joints, etc.
The sad part is that ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, if I had a competent tech working on my car that did more than just spray conditioner into my ductwork. Lexus USA also could have taken me out of this death trap much earlier, but they chose to keep me in the car for another six months, even after they were notified that the car was making me sick.
I think this is the worse car company on the planet, I believe they have know about the problems with their HVAC systems for years, and continue to hide the truth from the public.
