The dashboard of my 2009 toyota camry melts in the heat, and becomes very sticky. If touched, it also burns the hand. In addition, the glare from the sticky dash reflects in the windshield and makes it difficult to see and drive. This happens every day and makes me feel unsafe when driving.

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…

The dashboard is melting. The toyota dealer said they could replace it for $1500. I just recently learned that toyota has been replacing them for free, but that has ended. Were toyota owners informed of this. I do not remember getting any kind of notification about replacing melting dashboards.

Dashboard started melting. Dashboard has become sticky, shiny and greasy. Now sunlight reflects back on windshield glass, and reduces visibility of road. On bright sunny day, sunlight reflection on windshield makes it impossible to drive without covering dashboard.

I recently bought a used 2009 camry, with a melting dashboard. The car salesperson told me it's just cleaner, so of course i believed them. Although, when i got home i read all about toyota's problem with melting dashboards. I am very upset with this company's interior manufacturing. There is an intense reflection on the windshield due to the sticky dashboard. This makes it hard to see while driving.

I also have tried calling toyota but haven't gotten any where with the replacement of my dashboard. I would just like to have my dashboard replaced. It also creates a terrible glare in the day time and it obstructs your vision. At this point its a safety concern.…

Toyota camry sticky dashboard melting dashboards turn into shiny glare dashbord. My entire dashboard has been sticky / tacky for years. I do not know why or how it got this way. It accumulates dust and grime, and i have no way to properly clean it since all towels and cleaning cloths, unless extremely wet, get caught on it, and then it accumulates fibers from the cleaning cloths.

The car is smelling musty, not great for my sinuses and asthma. Headlight seal is allowing moisture to enter or the plastic has become porous. During a recent inspection, the headlights did not pass. We paid the gas station $32 to clean and polish the headlights to pass…
