Takata recall..my 2007 toyota camry has developed a shiny sticky coat over several months which covers the entire dash. The shininess obstructs driving visibility and i have found nothing on the market to clean this area. The car originally came from florida and was garage kept when i purchased. Seems like some sort of manufacturer defect.

My dashboard is melting. I contacted toyota and i missed the recall on the dashboard by 23 days. I can't drive car because the reflection of the dashboard causes a glare on windshield. Toyota tells me there is nothing they can do.

I took the car in then got a phonecall from the service department that…

The dashboard is melting in hot sunlight. This creates a very reflective surface that makes it almost impossible to see during a bright sunny day.

Sticky dashboard. Causes visibility hazard due to shiny glare. Toyota did not notify ahead of their warranty extension. Right toyota dealership did not mention after service visits. Toyota will not replace, says it is ,my fault for not knowing ahead of time that my dashboard would one day melt. Car has always been garaged and has only 55k miles. Shame on toyota.

My driver side visor is down and won't stay up and blocking my view. It's annoying to drive with it to my left side. I called and they said my vin was outside the warranty/recall. So i'm punished because a recall item didn't break when the recall was issued. I think if there's a recall it should be for the life of the car. I should not have to pay for something that was once part of a recall.

I did my monthly detail cleaning and my cloth kept sticking to the dash and i had not even put anything on it yet. Now there is a very shinny glare in the windshield and everything i use to wipe sticks and rubs off the texture.

Sun visor at driver side failed to stay close, it just falls down and comes in between clear visibility during evening, cloudy or night driving. Tried to contact toyota dealer, they refused about this defect.

The visor began falling while driving on the highway. I tried to put it back up but it was sagging and eventually popped causing to stay down unless i forcibly push it back up. It is a distraction and now cannot go back up with extreme force (which is causing the lining to come apart).

After noticing small shards of glass in the seat, she pulled over to the side of the road. After exiting the car, she saw that the sunroof had exploded! Her mother and i left work to meet here and i could tell instantly that it exploded from the inside, out! Luckily, my daughter was ok…

My carmy has had the sticky dash problem for over a year and i finally did some research about it, only to find out that toyota had a warranty program that expired a month go, 31 may 2017. I called them up and they promptly refused to replace my dash. There are still many cars out there that were not fixed adn this problem can cause distracting glare during high heat. Can anybody suggest a course of action? Maybe…

The dash melts in the heat causing it to become very shiny causing huge areas when the sun shines to reflect onto the windshield. This glare is so bad it's almost impossible to see anything in front of the car other than the reflection of the dash

Own a 2007 toyota camry which was purchased in 2009. Took into my dealership to have power window master switch recall. Also inquired about my broken driver side visor. Was told that visor was not a recall and only covered as an extended service for 7 years from date of first use; therefore not covered. Visor will fall down while driving, obstructing view and will not stay attached with clip. This problem did not…

The dashboard of the camry becomes tacky and very shiny due to deteriation from sunlight. This shiny finish causes dangerous glare against the windshield while driving. The tackiness prevents the dashboard from being cleaned properly to prevent reflections as well.
