Dashboard all of a sudden became sticky and shiny. As i was cleaning the windshield one day, the paper started to stick to the dashboard and i still can't remove it. I tried with several products to neutralize the dashboard, without success. I brought the car to the dealership where i purchased the vehicle and asked them for their advise. They told me that they never observed anything like that and only could offer…

My dashboard starting getting sticky about two years ago. It is getting worse and everything sticks to it making marks all over the dash. It also makes my car have an unusual odor. This is very frustrating because in general the car is in good condition but this really makes it look awful.. *tr

I purchased the car in october 2011 and approximately 6 -9m months later noticed the dashboard was melting. Took the car back to the dealership who stated it was out of warranty and i would be responsible for replacing it at a cost of approximately $3,000. I then contacted toyota who stated that they were not able to help as there was not a recall. The problem has continued, the dashboard is soft to the touch and…

I own a 2009 toyota camry for over 2 years i've had what is known as a "sticky dash". It's almost as if the dashboard as melted and toyota refuses to do anything for it - their response is for me to pay almost $1900 for a new dashboard plus labor which is completely unacceptable. I've also noticed that as of late, the glare due to the dashboard is interfering with my driving and i am genuinely worried about the…

I am another camry owner who has noticed my dashboard "melting". Simply pressing my finger on it will leave an indent, and there are several nicks and scratches at this point. I worry that if i'm in an accident, the strength of the dashboard is compromised and it won't do it's job in helping to protect me. *tr

I noticed my dashboard starting to melt in early 2012. At first, i couldn't figure out what the problem was or how to fix it, and later realized it was melting from the heat. I can't use a windshield mat to block out the sun because it sticks to the dashboard and leaves marks. There is no way to clean the dashboard and if you touch it, it creates permanent dents and/or marks. It's sticky and gives off a bad smell.…

The dashboard began to "melt" and become sticky. It has become progressively worse, to the point it is now about an 80% liquid appearance. The dash material that doesn't have the liquid appearance is extremely soft and quite easily damaged. It cannot be cleaned, as any type of cleaning cloth or sponge immediately sticks to the surface. No cleaners or protectants have ever been applied. *tr
