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…

In march of this year i noticed an area on the dashboard. Thinking someone had spilled something, i attempted to wipe it and the cloth literally stuck to the dashboard. It was gooey. Over the next few months it got worse and more widespread to now be all the dashboard area. I am finding out that this issue is becoming more and more common. Toyota should recall the dashboard and replace this defective equipment in…

The dashboard of our 2008 toyota camry has a residue on it. We have tried cleaning it, however the more you touch the dashboard, holes appear. The dash seems to disintegrate. The glare on the dashboard is a hazard while driving. We were told by the dealership that the vehicle is out of warranty. There are several websites of people having the same issue with this same model. *tr

My dashboard has practically melted. It shines and reflects onto the windshield while i'm driving, impairing my vision. Whenever i try to wipe it, whatever i'm using sticks to it and won't come off without tearing and leaving pieces on it. Not only is it an eyesore, but it makes it very difficult to drive. *tr

My dashboard has been melting for over a year now. At first it was a little sticky, but now it flakes if you touch it. My husband ordered me a cover over the dashboard because it was causing a glare and it was hard for me to see. I talked to the toyota dealership and they said there had not been a recall on it. It would cost $2800 to replace it. Something needs to be done because there have been many complaints…

I noticed a while ago that my dashboard had a shiny appearance to it. Upon touching it, my finger left an imprint and realized it was melting. Also, upon driving, the glare coming off of the melting dash is distracting when it reflects on the windshield. When this occurs, it makes driving more difficult whether it be in the day or evening hours causing "blindness". I can't even put the sunshade up due to the fact…
