    My dash board is sticky and melted looking. The glare it causes makes it very difficult to see. If i don't wear sunshades i cant see. I called toyota to make a complaint and they said they can't do anything because it is out of warranty. Also my passenger side window will only work occasionally. *tr

    At about 60 thousand miles i noticed the dash board of my wife's 2009 camry begin to be very sticky and appeared to be melting. I went online and purchased a carpeted dash cover for it to no avail. The material remained sticky and extremely soft to the touch. Also, it gives a glare from the glass when driving. We continues to live with this issue until i heard of others who were experiencing the same problems. I…

    The dashboard of my 2009 camry is melting. It creates a dangerous, blinding glare. I am concerned that is will cause an accident. I have called my local dealer and was told that there has not been any recalls of the dashboard. It is very sticky and cannot be cleaned with anything as paper sticks to it when wiped. This is truly a safety issue. There are several issues with the dashboard that need to be addressed and…

    The dash is sticky and seems to be melting. You can touch it and it will leave an impression. A couple of cracks have also developed. This car is not that old. I am concerned about the safety of the airbags due to the breakdown of the dash. I also did not pay the price i did for an automobile that would look like this after only 6 years. I called the dealership and they said it would be about $1500 to replace the…

    I absolutely adore my car, but i too have a melting dashboard. I spent about $60 for a dash cover and that wont even stay on the dash because in the florida heat, it still melts. My dash has marks in it now from it melting and if i ever decide to sell, even with the low mileage, it will take away the value of my car which is in excellent shape. *js

    The dashboard has become very sticky and is melting. Other interior parts are becoming tacky to the touch also. The glossy film on the dash makes it very difficult to see when the sun is reflecting off of it and creates a danger of wrecking. *tr
