In my 2007 toyota camry, at first (approx. 2011) the dashboard would feel sticky, as if something had spilled on it. However the stickiness could not be cleaned up. It was in fact the material of the dashboard melting. It continues to get worse and spreads across a larger area, to the point that now (2014) the dash cannot be touched without a mark being left in the melted material. It looks wet and is so glossy that…

My 2007 camry's dashboard seems to be "melting." it is very sticky and reflects a glare on the windshield - making it hard to see. I am afraid it will eventually lead to an accident. I have heard of others having the same problem, so i know there must be a solution or a recall soon. Toyota changed dashboard material in 2009 (from what i heard on the news) so it makes me believe that they were aware of the issue...…

Took it to toyota dealer too and they said toyota would not cover…
