I own a 2007 camry. The dashboard of the car is melting, surface is very sticky, shiny and when touched with finger it is coming off like glue. While driving the surface is so glossy it creates very bright glare from sun light, sometimes it blinds driver's road visibility creating a potential road hazard. Dashboard surface has turned into a very soft material and it can be easily scraped off. *tr

The dashboard of our 2007 toyota camry is melting. There have been no chemicals used on the dashboard what so ever. It has always only been cleaned with water. The melting is pronounced more as the dashboard nears the bottom of the windshield. It is now very sticky and is completely ruined. Most importantly, since melting, it has become very shiny. It creates a horrible glare of bright sunlight directly into your…

The dashboard seems to be disintegrating. The area on the front part of the dashboard (closest to the windshield) seems to be the worse, although the problem is spreading to the entire dash. It is sticky, tacky, shiny and gouges easily. This problem is creating a glare and is dangerous. The dash is basically melting. I worry about the function of the airbags. Is there documentation that states the safety of the…

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 dashboard material has been melted and is now extremely shiny and sticky. It causes the sunlight to reflect back onto the windshield which makes visibility degraded. I would like to see a recall to replace the dashboard. *tr

The dashboard of my car is sticky and very shiny! I have found nothing that will remove the sticky stuff or the shine. The shine causes a blind spot for the driver that is very dangerous. It is on the driver's side and in the driver's line of sight. I feel that this is a problem of engineering by the company that makes the dash. They should be responsible for replacing this dashboard. It is all over the top of the…

Toyota camry dashboard is very sticky and melting. If you press your hand or fingers against the dash board the rubber/paint will stick to your hand. Even if you try cleaning it, it will stick to the piece of cloth or paper and removing the paint and rubber from the dashboard. *tr

The dashboard is literally melting away. There is a horrible, sticky, gooey substance that is oozing out of the entire dashboard. You cannot touch or clean it, and when driving in the direct sun, it creates such a reflections on the windshield that you can hardly see. I am not sure what the substance is, however, i believe that breathing it may be a health hazard. I have approached toyota on this issue several…

At around the end of july 2012 the dash board on my 2007 camry started to get gummy and sticky. When i went to the dealer i was told that the car was out of warranty and that the dash could be replace but that it would cost me out of pocket. Now my dash board is in really bad shape. This is a defective piece of equipment hows it possible that toyota does not stand behind it's product. Toyota put out something back…

The dashboard of my toyota is falling apart. It is a safety hazard as it contains the passenger air bag. Additionally, the glare caused by the shine is very distracting both day and night as sunlight and lights reflect and blind the driver. I believe warranties should cover anything that is a defective part and that's what this is, a defective part, if a part is defective when you manufacturer the car or whether it…

I am 62 years old and have never had this happen to another vehicle - and i've had other toyotas . Why is there not a…
