I was driving at about 25mph on montgomery drive in philadelphia (city street) in the morning of 12/9/2019. It was raining lightly. The car in front of me was about 4 to 5 car-lengths ahead. It braked as another car tried to cut in, and i also immediately braked. My brake felt grinding and my car continued to slide into the back of the car in front of me.

My entire dashboard has been sticky / tacky for years. I do not know why or how it got this way. It accumulates dust and grime, and i have no way to properly clean it since all towels and cleaning cloths, unless extremely wet, get caught on it, and then it accumulates fibers from the cleaning cloths. If i press into the dashboard with my finger, it retains a fingerprint. I can easily cleave a piece off with my nail.…

The dashboard is made of a plastic that deteriorates over time. The effect is a sticky coating when the dashboard is exposed to warmth. Toyota expanded the warranty for 10 years. My car did not exhibit symptoms during that time, or when checked, had not been exposed to heat (the car is garage kept). Dashboards should not wear out. Toyota was sold a defective material. I do not understand why toyota would not insist…

There was originally a recall on the 2007 toyota camry that had a warranty to replace the melting dashboard. The melting dashboard is a safety hazard due to the glare that it produces. The car owner should not be made responsible for an error toyota created. My complaint is that a recall warranty should never expire for someone who paid for a vehicle with expectations that there would be no issues.

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.

The front dashboard of my car has melted. On a sunny day there is too much of a glare that i cannot see clearly to what is ahead. I cannot place anything on the dashboard because it sticks on there and it has began to chip off when i accidentally bump my nail on it. It is horrible and dangerous with that glare. If someone was on the side of the road i may not see them on time to let them pass by because of the glare…
