My dashboard is melting, very soft and sticky but most importantly is putting off some odor that could be dangerous chemically. Appears that this is common in warm climates...such as florida. I am concerned that this could be toxic. Toyota has refused to repair and indicated replacement would be near $2500. *tr

The dashboard has a molten sticky appearance. It is extremely reflective and when in direct light (such as the sun) the glare is reflected onto the windshield. This causes a glare in the drivers eyes which is very dangerous whilst in motion. Other customers have described this phenomena as the "dashboard melting". *tr

My dashboard is melting. It's become extremely sticky and shiny. I do not use any chemicals or other products on the dashboard .this seems to be a very well known problem with so many customers reporting the same problem and yet toyota does not recall.

Noticed my dash board was getting to be a sticky mess i keep it cleaned and parked under my carport. Now it is like it is melting and my finger nail went through it. Also the dash gets shiny and makes a glare when i drive. I cant believe a car dash would do this. I think toyota needs to replace it before it gets worse and an accident it caused. *tr

Dashboard has begun to deteriorate. It has a sticky film on it that reflects sunlight into the driver's face. The dashboard has begun to be very sticky and looks like it's going to start to fall apart. More than aesthetically disappointing is the safety issue. The reflection from the defective dashboard makes it difficult to see the road at times. *tr

There is also a glare on the windshield and a horrible…
