Sticky/deteriorating dashboard. Vehicle purchased brand new in 2009 from a toyota dealer. Vehicle has never been serviced at a car wash. Spray products designed to preserve vinyl have never been applied. Noticed week of 9/1/2016 that the dashboard beneath the windshield is gummy. Prior to this discovery, we had been fighting a strange deposit on the inside surface of the windshield. We believe it was off gassing of…

My passenger side visor just broke about a month ago. It's a 2009, but purchased in 2008. Finally got my dashboard replaced last week alf asked about the visor. Toyota says they won't fix it since its passed the warranty time. I don't understand why not since it's a known issue, and dangerous to drive with it down all the time. I've loved my camry, but to spend over $100 to fix the visor is steep.

My dashboard panel is melting in my car. The dashboard is completely sticky and everything that falls on it gets stuck and i cannot get it off the dashboard. I try to clean my car and cannot do anything to the dash. I try to wipe it down with water and a towel, but it just pulls the lint off a microfiber towel and it gets stuck. It is really irritating and i hope toyota fixes my problem and takes responsibility for…

On wednesday, january 27,2016 i got out of my car,opened the trunk, took some things out, tried to close it, it bounced up. I found out the trunk lock pad would not lock, i was told to order a door lock actuator integrated with a latch. Received it, put it on and it did the same thing. This could cause more damage to the car and injury to a person especially if it happens in route. Put new part on and it wont lock.…

My dashboard is very sticky and melting. The sticky dashboard has a glare in the windshield and is very dangerous. I could hardly see where i'm going when the sun is shining. The glare from the dashboard shines in my face and sometimes blinds me. Please fix this issue.

The dashboard on the 2009 toyota camry is a danger for any owner. With the dashboard being sticky/melting, when light hits the dashboard it causes major blind spots that could cause major accidents. This is unacceptable for any automobile to be on the road when you could potentially run over people or hit other vehicles when the glare from the melting dashboard reflects off the windshield.

I have been the sole owner of this camry. Back in 2015 i took it to a dealership for service and brought up to the technician that the dashboard was sticky. At the time they said there was nothing i could do about it and replacing it would cost me a lot of money. Now 4 years later i find out that there was a warranty enhancement that covered the dashboard. My dashboard is now so sticky that it is glistening. I tried…

Luckily, no other car was around. Taking the vehicle…

Steering wheel started vibrating on reaching the speed of 60 mph. It was more prominent while driving straight while it was not as much while negotiating the bends. However, no vibration was felt at slower speeds. I have got both front and rear rotors and break pads changed recently, all wheels have been balanced and alignment done. I wonder if the manufacturer would take care to identify the cause and recommend…

I own a 2009 toyota camry. In 2013 or 2014 toyota repaired the drivers side sun visor. Now the passenger side sun visor is drooping, it hangs freely and will not remain in either the up or down position. Toyota says they can't repair this since the car is more than five years old.
