I am having dashboard melting problem in toyota camry 2008. It looks like not only me having this problem but it is most likely majority of the people who own the toyota camry. It is not only safety hazard when you drive in the sunlight but also bring question on product quality and it's brand name. Toyota should immediately recall and resolve this problem asap. *tr

The dashboard is starting to melt and is causing glare on the front windshield while driving. Nothing remedies it and there is question as to whether or not the passenger air bag will deploy properly due to the increased elasticity of the dashboard. *tr

The dashboard on my 2008 camry has become increasingly soft and sticky over the past year. It is sticky to the touch and feels like you are touching the back of some kind of tape. Everything sticks to it and it is extremely hard to clean. This problem has gotten worse over the course of calendar year 2014. My car does stay outside, so probably does get more sun than if it stayed in a garage; however, a dashboard…

The front dashboard is melting. It is becoming very sticky (even with a sunshade) and shiny during warmer days. When it is shiny, the glare can get very bad and i have had to get polarized sunglasses to block the glare. I am reporting this issue after learning that many other cars of this same make and model are having the same issue. *tr

I have called the toyota help center and they refused to help me or pay for any repairs. I explained to them how bad the damage is for only toyota to deny any responsibility.

My vehicles front dashboard has become a giant sticky mess. It is impossible to clean. As time goes on, it becomes shinier and stickier. If a napkin or tissue touches it, the dashboard "glue" won't let go of it. It traps and kills insects if they touch it. This is a manufacturers defect and not a condition brought on through user mistreatment of the dash. *tr

The dashboard top on this vehicle has melted into a sticky mess which is a glaring representation of faulty materials used in the manufacturing process of this component of an otherwise fine car. The odor and glare off the dash is also quite distracting. Toyota should really offer its customers a very low-cost solution to this problem, if not a complimentary fix. *tr

Starting in 2012 and increasingly getting worse, the dashboard began to get shiny and very sticky. It appeared to be melting. I first noticed it at night with street lights and headlights creating very bad glare, i thought my eyes were getting bad until i drove another vehicle. It has progressed to the point that it is unsafe to drive in the day time on bright days without something on the dash to block the…

Since the temperature started to rise here in tx, my 2008 camry dashboard has become extremely sticky. When i tried cleaning it, i noticed that my finger nail chipped away pieces of the dashboard. While trying to wipe the dashboard, the rag is also sticking to the dashboard. This is very concerning to me, i've never encountered this. This is clearly a manufacturer defect. *tr

My dashboard has "melted" and there is an annoying glare causing a "whiteout" while driving. The dashboard is extremely sticky and when you rub it, the dashboard is removed in little pieces. There is such a glare off the dashboard from the sun that it blocks my ability to see the road clearly at times. *tr

I live in fl and my dashboard is melting. This is causing a huge glare when i drive on the window. Being 90 years old i consider this to be a safety hazard. I have also seen this same issue on the nhtsa database. Toyota wants to charge me $1,000 for a new dashboard but to me this should be covered due to the large number of people with the same issue. *tr

On june 19, 2014, i was called by a female from the dealer and told that they would replace the part ( allegedly…

Because of the melting, the windshield produces a glare and makes driving very difficult during the day. I cannot drive unless i am wearing polarized sunglasses, which helps minimize the glare. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle because of the constant glare on the…
