The melting dashboard which causes a shine which reflects into drivers vision is a danger!!!! The fact that toyota allows this to go on, and does not remedy it for those that (for whatever reason) missed the notices sent out is a disgrace, and a danger to not only the driver, but everyone on the road!! How many people are still driving cars with this issue?? These are accidents just waiting to happen! My mother's…

Sun visor (passenger side) has rotated slowly downward blocking my view of the road. Apparently the spring tension mechanism failed causing the visor to hang downward obstructing my view of the road. Note: the sun visor and sun visor bracket was previously involved in a toyota warranty enhancement notice involving this same vehicle.

The sun visor dropped, blinding my sight while driving. This is dangerous and a clear safety issue. Toyota had previously issued a warranty enhancement, but had said at the time that if the issue has not yet appeared, we should not do anything. Now that the warranty enhancement period has expired, they are not prepared to do anything. This is a clear safety concern. A recall is warranted. Not only is visibility…

I purchased this car brand new from the dealer who registered it and gave me paperwork listing my address on all of the forms. I just recently found out that there was an extended warranty program for the driver side visor defect. I had been having issues with it for a few years but since i rarely drive during the daytime it wasn't an issue until my shift changed. So now it's broken and today, years later, toyota…

The dashboard is melting! This is impacting visibility by causing extreme glare so that it's difficult to see other vehicles on the road on sunny days. I contacted toyota and apparently our dealership had the wrong city listed for our address which means we didn't get the service bulletin and now we are outside of the 10 year window because we purchased in nov of 2006. Give me a break! This is one of 5 toyota's we…
