My dashboard has gone from its splendor to now a melted, sticky, shiny, glary, dashboard. In fact, a dragon fly landed on the dashboard, got stuck and died (legs are still embedded in dashboard). Besides not holding up to the toyota slogans ("who could ask for anything more?" "i love what you do for me, toyota!" "let's go places") which emphasize the positive experiences of ownership, and vehicle quality, the…

Dash board has melted. This needs to be a recall. I went to toyota of stuart fl and they said they would pay for the part but i have to pay for the labor. The labor is $400.00 who can afford that. I think they need to replace it for free. When im driving my finger nails end up getting stuck in the dash. You cant open or stretch you fingers when they are on the wheel. Then you are trying to get the sticky dash board…

This is complaint about the dashboard covering on my 2009 toyota camry. If i need to file this complaint on a different website, please let me know. From what i can tell almost everyone who has a late model lexus or camry is having this problem. The dash covering begins to melt and becomes very sticky. The covering starts to come off if you try to clean it and then a very shiny surface appears and reflects off of…

The dash is very soft and cracking. It is very shining and gives off a glare which makes it difficult to see. No commercial products have been used on it. The dealer in bradenton fl says they don't know what is wrong with it and i could replace it for about 2200.00 dollars as it is not under warranty. While searching the web for a solution i came across many others who have this problem. My husbands 2006 tacoma does…

The vinyl dashboard surface is sticky and, in areas close to the windshield, the surface has melted to a shiny, glary look. I cannot wipe it with a cloth because it sticks to the surface. Pressing lightly the surface with my fingernail leaves a deep permanent mark as the surface has no elasticity. Even light impact, such as from normal use of a sun reflective windshield shade, leaves marks on the surface. The edges…

I live in louisiana and it's very humid and hot. Last year my dashboard attracted much dust and dirt. When i among others tried cleaning it, nothing would actually remove or clean the surface. It is very sticky and it looks unsightly and it's very embarrassing. Each time i had my car detailed, it was difficult to accept from the detailer as to why my dash was never clean and the products they used didn't cause the…

The dashboard of my toyota camry seems to be melting. I live in south fl and have lived here for years. I have owned many cars here and the weather and parking conditions have not changed. My car has very few miles on it, under 30k. The issue with my dashboard makes it hard to see and is causing a serious reflection issue. I cant imagine that this is not a product issue. No car i have ever seen has experienced this…

I too have the sticky dashboard issue with my camry. I try to clean it but it just collects more stuff. It is super sticky and causes an extreme glare. I contacted toyota and they said i am responsible for this. I have a few friends who have the same problem. I like my camry but due to this issue i am pretty positive i will look elsewhere for my next vehicle. *tr

My dashboard had started to become glary and it bothers me when i drive against the sun's reflection which is very shiny and when i tried to touch the dashboard, my hand had stuck to it and i then realized that it is melting. I checked with the dealership and they said that toyota has no extended warranty or recall yet as of this time. I learned that there's already thousands of camry owners have the same melting…

The dash board is melting and very sticky to the touch. It also is very soft and easily knicked by touch removing a piece of the dash. You can not clean the dash because the cloth will stick leaving lint behind. I have never used any cleaner of any kind to clean the dash. I have always used a dry cloth for cleaning. *tr

My 2009 toyota camry's dashboard has melted. It has become a sticky, shiny mess. I tried to put reflective shades in the windshield to help slow the disintegration. Upon removing it to drive the car one afternoon shortly after i started using it, part of the vinyl was melted to the shield and ripped off the dashboard leaving the orange foam showing. The safety hazard comes from the shiny "puddles" of melted dash.…

The dashboard is really sticky and has gather debris from my sunshade. There are also some cracks forming. I went to the dealership where i bought it from and was told the same thing. That it's out of warranty (since it's 5 years old and 42k miles) and i can't really do anything about it. If i wanted them to look at it, i would have to pay $115 for a diagnostic test. The guy who helped me even looked for any recalls…
