We just bought this car for my daughter yesterday evening from a toyota dealer in fl. I saw a shiny blemish on the dashboard up by the left front speaker and the salesman told us the dash was probably damaged by cleaning agents. I realized today after the car was in the sun that the whole dash was soft and sticky like it was melting and was causing a very blinding glare when facing certain directions with the sun.…

My dashboard is melting. It's become extremely sticky and shiny. Even when i try to wash it, it continues to secrete a slimy sticky film. The plastic is failing. Toyota wants over 2000 dollars to replace it. It's dangerous because it's so terribly shiny. I bought it new in 2007. *tr

Melting dashboards become sticky, shiny and cracked. You can see where i've accidentally nicked it and the thing comes off. It's very hard to drive when you're blinded by glare and you don't see a big portion of the road. It's just melting more and more every day. I have kids, is not safe, i am sure is toxic and is not only melting but also breaking and my kids can eat it. *tr

The vehicle was turning into a parking space with the brake on. Suddenly the vehicle lunged forward and went through the glass front of a bank building, landing in the vestibule. The accident data provided by the inspector hired by toyota clearly shows that at the time the brake pedal was depressed. When the brake was applied the acceleration increased from .78 to 2.27 and the engine rpms increased from 400 to 2000.…

Dashboard is deteriorating. It is extremely sticky and is also easily scratches. We are concerned about the safety of this vehicle we drive it only when absolutely needed. Florida heat during summer months makes the situation worse, dashboard becomes sticky and glare from the dashboard reflecting sun lights makes it very difficult and dangerous to drive. *tr

My 2007 toyota camry dashboard started to melt this summer. I typically wipe away the dust with a clean microfiber cloth from time to time. I have been unable to do so this entire summer because anything that touches the dashboard sticks to it. It's now getting to the point that it creates a glare on the windshield and can be hard to see on a sunny day. Toyota should recall this and replace it with a dashboard that…

The dash board is starting to melt on my 2007 toyota camry. When the sun is shining it is extremely shiny causing a glare in my eyes when i drive down the road. It is also extremely sticky to the touch making it impossible to clean. You can take a fingernail to it and it leaves an indent in the dash. It has started cracking and is a matter of time before the dash will need to be replaced. *tr

The dashboard is 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. Recently my airbag light is coming on and then going out for no…
