    The dashboard is melting in the heat. It get's sticky and shiny in the heat and reflects a glare on the windshield. You can put your hand on it and it sticks to the dash and you could peal the surface off.

    The sun visor became weak and has broken completely. I would venture to say the visor has less than the average amount of normal wear and tear. The visor itself will not stay up in the proper position nor stay down/back (more flatly adjacent to the windshield). This causes decreased/awkward visibility when driving in general and offers no relief when needed from driving into the sun's path. It is also very…

    On may 22, 2015, when i got into my car, the sun visor was down. I tried to put it back into its proper place, but it would not stay up. No matter what i tried, it kept flopping down, obstructing the view when driving. If i push it forward toward the front window, i can see better, but still i don't have maximum visibility. It flops back down at times, totally blocking my view of the road and the review mirror. This…

    Engine oil burning off way to fast. I have to add 1 qt every 1,200 - 1,500 miles. I took my cat in to the dealership for a oil consumption test and passed. But i did notice that they use 5-20 oil. Which i believe is why it passed. Because i use 0-20 oil, just like my owners manual says. So i'm not sure.

    As i was cleaning the interior of my 2008 toyota camry with a clean cloth and started to see some dark stain coming out and when i took a minute to find out, i realized that my dashboard was melting. This is not my first toyota and this might be the last. I am very disappointed with toyota right now. They should stand behind their product and fix it. I am not the only one facing this issue. *tr

    Dashboard has become sticky will collect dust and debris, gotten so shiny that there is a glare and makes it hard to see while driving due to the reflection of the shine on the window. Bought 2014 and didn't have this issue didn't even get the warranty notice about the dash. This is our family car and afraid it's making our drives dangerous

    I have a 2008 toyota camry and noticed several months ago that the dashboard started to have a sticky feeling. I live in west palm beach, fl and within the last few days i noticed an article on the channel 5 news station that had a report on the melting dash in these cars. After reading several complaints from other camry drivers, i know i'm not the only one. This seems to be a "recall" issue with toyota and they…

    August of 2012, i noticed a sticky residue developing on the dashboard of my 2008 toyota camry. I have since tried to cleaning it off, but it is impossible to clean. The problem got worse throughout the year as it started developing a shine on the dashboard causing a glare on the windshield while i drive during the day. This is a real safety issue for me and my family as it makes visibility much more difficult. *tr

    The passenger sunvisor began to hang down slightly and then it dropped all the way down and wouldn't go back up at all. We tried everything to fix it but to no avail. The passenger can't even look forward at certain times of the day due to the sun right in their eyes. Recently, the driver's side sunvisor has now done the same thing. It is hanging down in the view of the driver and causing safety concerns. We have to…

    The sun visor on the driver's side flapped down without being manually released. The visor no longer locks into place and releases randomly while driving. This is a dangerous driving hazard.

    My toyota camry pedal was in the sticking position and when i went to brake the brakes would not do their job and i couldn't stop until i bumped the car in front of me. Prior to this incident, i had experienced sudden acceleration a few time over the last two and half years with this car, but never any sticking or break failure.
