I own a 2009 camry le. The material that covers the dashboard is sticky and peeling off. This has been happening since 2018. When the sun shines the light reflects and is very distracting while driving. Toyota issued a recall for this problem. I called them today (1/27/20) but they say it is now expired. I am wondering how this can be addressed for my vehicle since i never got the original paperwork because i moved.…

Recently 'august 2019' i purchased a 2009 toyota camry on a 'cloudy day' for my son to drive to n.c. For college. He came home for an overnight visit and i noticed his dash was very shiny and had a horrible glare. The glare was so bad i would not allow him to drive the car due to this impairing his ability to see. I noticed on toyota's website there is a recall on the dash but read lots of complaints that toyota was…

My dashboard is melting and causes a constant glare that obstructs my view while driving. When i told toyota about this they said it was out of warranty. I have never been contacted by toyota regarding this is a possibility of happening. Sunshades did not prevent the melting as it gets worse yearly and i use shades daily. Toyota needs to be responsible for fixing because this puts my life as well as others in danger…

Drivers side sun visor will not stay up. It has gradually gotten worse to the point it won't stay in up position or fully toward the windshield either. It is really a visibility issue but didn't seem to meet that criteria. I am sure that their was a recall for this some years back, but it is not listed on the nhtsa or toyota websites.

Dashboard is starting to melt, crack, chip and become gooey. I have been to the dealership 3 times and on the phone with toyota customer service 2 times, and they both keep redirecting me to each other. I have expressed concerns about the integrity of the airbags since the dashboard is melting. Toyota is aware of the situation and is refusing to assist in any way. Apparently, there was a recall that has since…

Toyota is aware that they manufactured this car and others with a defective dashboard. They have already been sued for this. The melted dashboard causes a glare in the window making driving unsafe and people have been in accidents. Plus, the goey dashboard may cause the airbags to fail. Rather than recalling the defective cars and replacing the dashboards on all these cars, toyota chose to offer a 10 year warranty.…

I have called my local toyota dealer to report a sticky, melting dashboard. I called several months ago to report this but it was stated that no recalls were out on this. I saw on the news last week about this same issue and i called again on 8/5/2019 and was told again that no recalls were out. I use a sun guard for my windshield but that only helps minimally. My dashboard has been melting for about 3 months and i…

My camry dashboard melted such that it is now reflective like a mirror or glass onto my front window. The glare on the front window is unsafe for clear viewing. This happened after the warranty expired on may of 2018. But, a safety issue caused by a melting of the dashboard should not have a limit to it's necessary repair by toyota. I have videos of the danger, but your only accepting jpgs below.

Dashboard melt - dash when heated by sun or temperature -melts and turns into a glossy glue consistance which reflects on windshield and prohibits sight thru the glare - prevents driver sight and safety paper sticks to it and so does any flying bugs, trash, or other objects it comes in contact with. You cannot see on coming traffic or navigate turns safely.

Driving on interstate 77 south, just north of boilvar, oh, 70 mph, heard loud explosion. Thought it was a tire. Checked to find it was my moon roof. It shattered to pieces. The hole was the size of a basketball, with remaining glass cracked to the point it crumbled to the touch. No other cars, trucks, or foreign objects were near me. The glass simply exploded. There was no overpass nearby, both sides of road were…

The factory provided vehicle jack is of poor quality. It bent from the middle after the very first use. If not for the tire still on the axel, the car would've had lots of damage.

Melting dash: i placed this under "air bags" because there is legitimate concern for their operation under the defective dash. Also, the glare from the shininess of the dash is a concern. I purchased it new in may 2008. My daughter has been driving it. The problem came to my attention literally days after the 10-year "warranty extension". I talked to my dealer and directly to toyota and they would not resolve the…
