The sun visor for some time has been clicking when moved down or up. This monday it finally broke for good. It no longer stays up out of the drivers view and is not able to be adjusted as normal. I have noticed on several discussion groups that this is a very common occurrence. I believe that toyota has know that this is a week part and should initiate a recall to replace or reimburse the cost of replacement. *tr

The dashboard on my 2007 toyota camry has melted and is very sticky. It is easily damaged just by lightly bumping it. Also, the glare from the dashboard is extremely dangerous. Since i drive to work facing the sun and drive home facing the sun, the commute is very difficult, tiresome, and dangerous. Please advise me how to rectify this problem. *tr

I purchased this automobile new in 2007. Approx 2 years ago the dash board started to melt. It is presently very soft and sticky to the touch. If you touch it with anything firm like a finger of edge of a sun visor it leaves a permanent mark. Small pieces are coming off the edges of the dash over the navigation screen. Car has always been in the garage when at home and i have always used a sun visor when parked away…

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...…

Dashboard is sticky and the condition is getting worse by the day. The whole dashboard is melting and this also creates a safety hazard since the visibility is impaired by the glare when days are sunny. There are numerous complaints for the same issue and i do not understand why no action has been taken to hold toyota responsible. *tr

2007 camry le with only 24000 km middle heat shield rusted hanging. Toyota in guelph ontario removed it because it has rusted so it does not fall off. They wanted to charge me $300 cdn to reinstall new one. Should not this be covered by bumper to bumper warranty? I think this is big safety item because it is large piece and if it would have fallen off on highway it could cause injury or death. Again my car has only…

Would you please check into this problem i'm having with toyota please? At lease take a 2007 toyota camry le for a test drive and roll down the back windows and drive 40 ' 70mph. Here's my story. Toyota says too bad: i was told the defining noise with the back windows rolled down is normal. Without exaggerating, at 70 miles an hour, it would pop an ear drum. At 45 miles an hour your ears close up like you're on a…
