A "sticky" and cracking dashboard from florida heat causes a huge glare on the windshield. This makes visibility extremely limited while driving. I have not used any cleaning or polishing products on the dashboard. I am convinced it is just from high temperatures and humidity over time. After noticing the problem i tried to reduce direct sunlight on the dashboard by using windshield covers; however, the dash still…

Water leaking in the headliner, causing the foot wells to be wet. The drain line from the moon roof "gutter" disconnected from the drain line pan and water drains and accumulates in the foot well. During cold weather conditions there is an extreme condensation built-up on the interior of windows. Use of heater will generate high humidity in the cabin and fogging of the window. The fluid in the cabin along with the…

The dashboard glare and sticky falling apart condition is obviously an issue. We were never informed that toyota was replacing these dashboards. I have a 2007 camry with only 80,000 miles on it and want to have the dashboard replaced. Obviously they know it was dangerously shiny and sticky as they replace them for 10 years. The national toyota people told me it was too late for them to help me even though they know…

Was driving and put visor down on driver side and it snapped and had to hold it up while driving. Was very dangerous while driving so researched how to take it completely off until i could afford to replace it. Less than a week later the same thing happened to the passenger side. It really upsets me because i have sensitive eyes and drives towards the sun every morning when it's the worst and is very dangerous not…

I noticed the dashboard was becoming tacky. I has gotten steadily worse. I has become shiny near the winshield and is advancing towards the front of the dash. The dashboard appears to be melting.

The driver's side sun visor will not stay up causing driving visibility issues to the point i had to pull it down. Still have visibility issues without a visor but have less dangerous than with the defective one in place. Numerous forums indicate other 2007 toyota camry's with same issue. Should be a toyota recall item vs. Fleecing consumers the $200 for a dealer to replace. *tr ## vin failed ##

Over the course of the past year, the dashboard of my camry has devolved into a sticky, shiny mess. The surface of most of the dashboard has a gluey texture, with the parts nearest the windshield having completely liquefied. The sticky areas are very shiny, causing glare that covers much of the windshield when driving towards the sun or under streetlights. This glare is very distracting and significantly reduces…

The dashboard of my vehicle has become very sticky and shiny causing a visibility hazard due to the reflection on the windshield. The dealer advised that the only "remedy" is to replace the dashboard since i am unable to even touch the surface to possibly wipe off the shine. Toyota (all vehicle manufacturers for the matter) should be charged with the responsibility of installing materials that do not become a hazard…

The driver's side sun visor broke. The arm that goes into the sun visor came out of the sun visor. It seems that it broke the plastic inside the visor that holds it in place. This caused the visor to keep falling and not stay in place. It had a good chance of creating a hazard so i completely removed the visor. The tab on the bar that allows the visor to snap into place has become very stiff to where it is very…

At about this date the left side of the dashboard cover started to get real sticky, like glue was poured on it, and i can't get rid of it. On bright sunny days spots appear on the windshield making it hard to see ahead at times. I need to know why toyota won't fix this. It's not common for this to happen and i don't feel i should have to pay to have this fixed as i have found others with the same problem. *tr

Sun visor was fine, and not experiencing any problems. While driving in moderate traffic the sun visor just flopped down obscuring my vision. It would not stay back up. I had to hold it up with one hand and drive with the other until i got home. It is now taped onto my sunroof with duct tape. Not good at all! *tr
