TL* THE CONTACT'S MOTHER OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN MELTED THE DASHBOARD, WHICH CAUSED THE AREA TO BECOME STICKY AND VISIBLE ON THE INSIDE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED TOYOTA OF DOWNTOWN L.A. (LOCATED AT 1901 S FIGUEROA ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90007, (213) 481-5074) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE.

MY SAFETY ISSUE IS THE MELTING RUBBER DASHBOARD ISSUE BECOMING STICKY, SHINY AND REFLECTING A GLARE REDUCING AND BLINDING MY VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING. I PURCHASED IN 2016 A USED TOYOTA CAMRY LE FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. IN SUMMER 2018 I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS TACKY TO THE TOUCH. I ASKED AT A CAR SUPPLIES AND PARTS STORE IF THEY KNEW WHAT CAUSED THIS BUT NO ONE COULD HELP ME. I ASKED CARMAX ONE TIME ABOUT THIS AND TOLD IT MUST ME SOMETHING I PUT ON THE CAR WHICH I HAD NOT. THEN THIS SUMMER 2019 THE DASHBOARD BECAME SO STICKY AND SHINY WITH MELTING RUBBER AND GLARE SO BLINDING IT REDUCES MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND NOW IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN ANY BRIGHT SUNSHINE OR ONCOMING CAR HEADLIGHTS. ON 10-13-2019 WHILE DRIVING I TURNED A CURVE ON A BUSY ROAD AND WAS COMPLETELY BLINDED BY GLARE AND NARROWLY MISSED HITTING AN ONCOMING CAR. I KEEP A CLEAN CAR AND ALL GLASS SO THIS IS NOT A BUILDUP ON THE GLASS. ON 10-14-2019 I BEGAN ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE HAD INDEED BEEN A PROBLEM SO I WENT DIRECTLY TO TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE AND EMAILED THIS PROBLEM AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE. I THEN SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER CARE PERSON THAT ADVISED ME THERE WAS A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM BUT THAT PROGRAM HAD EXPIRED AUGUST 2017 AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO. I EXPRESSLY INQUIRED HOW COULD THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN CARS AND OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THEY SAID THEY WENT TO EACH STATES DMV TO GET ADDRESS OF TOYOTA OWNERS OF AFFECTED CARS AND MAILED THEM. I EXPLAINED I BOUG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SLID UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPPED. THERE WAS NO CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN CAREFULLY BACK TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ACTUATOR. MCKINNON TOYOTA (235 PRICE DR, CLANTON, AL 35046, (205) 755-3430) REQUESTED THAT THE CONTACT BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AT HER EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,500. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS CAUSING TREMENDOUS GLARE FROM SUN CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA IS AWARE AND HAD A VOLUNTARY RECALL, BUT I DID NOT GET THE LETTER. WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL, I THOUGHT DATE OF FIRST USE WAS WHEN I BEGAN DRIVING THE CAR, IT IS NOT. THE SECONDARY COVERAGE FOR 10 YEARS AFTER DATE OF FIRST USE WAS 8/3/17. I CALLED TOYOTA ON 11/17/17 AND THEY SAID TOO LATE. I WENT TO TOYOTA AND CALLED CORPORATE ON 5-30-18, BUT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I USE A SUNSHIELD AND CAR IS MOSTLY GARAGED, BUT IT IS THE TEXAS HEAT CAUSING IT, AND I CAN'T STOP IT. I RECENTLY SAW THIS PROBLEM ON THE NEWS WITH NISSAN AND TOYOTA AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS. THIS IS WHY I AM NOT FILING THIS REPORT.

DASHBOARD ON 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IS MELTING. NOTICED SEVERAL MONTHS BACK THAT IT WAS TACKY TO THE TOUCH AND SEEMED TO GET WORSE AS THE WEATHER HEATED UP. GLARE IS BECOMING MORE OF A PROBLEM, SPECIFICALLY ON HOT SUNNY DAYS, MELTING DASHBOARD PUT A SMALL GOUGE IN THE DASHBOARD WHEN SOMETHING WAS SET ON IT AND THEN MOVED. DEBRIS AND DUST IS ALSO COLLECTING ON THE DASHBOARD. WILL BECOME MORE HAZARDOUS AS TIME GOES ON. CALLED BOTH TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON RECALL LIST AND TOO WAIT TO SEE IF ANOTHER RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED. DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $2,000 FOR PART AND LABOR. I HAVE KEPT MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND DASHBOARD HAS SEEMED A LITTLE SLOWER TO DETERIORATE COMPARED TO OTHERS, BUT NOW THAT IT IS BREAKING DOWN, WILL MOST LIKELY DECLINE QUICKER. A PROBLEM CREATED BY TOYOTA ALSO AFFECTS RESALE AND TRADE IN VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AT NO FAULT OF THE OWNER.

DASHBOARD REPLACED AFTER RECALL..5 YEARS AGO ..SAME PROBLEM NOW MELTING CAUSING BAD VISIBILITY.. TOYOTA REFUSED HELP..DEALERSHIP REFUSED HELP

WHEN OUTDOOR TEMPERATURES GET COLD, MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON, THEN I GET A CHECK VSC SYSTEM AND MY ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHTS COME ON, MORE OVER MY BRAKES ARE LESS RESPONSIVE (GO SOFT).

DRIVER SIDE SUN SHADE DOESNT STAY IN PLACE, BLOCKS VIEW AND KEEPS FALLING DOWN WHEN PUT BACK UP CAUSES A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING BY DISTRACTING DRIVER WHILE DRIVING. I REMOVED IT SO DONT HAVE A PICTURE OF IT DOWN.

ABS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF BRAKES, POWER STEERING, ENGINE POWER WHILE ON A BUSY STREET APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION

MOVING AT 70 MPH, BATTERY LIGHT STARTED TO FLICKER. THEN 2 LOUD BANGS, LIKE ROCKS HITTING WINDSHIELD, SPEEDOMETER WILDLY FLUCTUATING, CHECK VSC SYS LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BRIEFLY LIT. NO LOSS OF POWER OR CONTROL. BATTERY LITE NOW OFF. CONTINUED ON 3 MINUTES LATER REPEAT, BAM BAM, CHECK VSC SYS, NOW WITH RED TRIANGLE WARNING, ABS LIGHT, SECURITY, PASSENGER AIR BAG & SKID LINES FLASHED ON. NO PROBLEMS ON RETURN TRIP, ALTHOUGH I WAS TRAVELING AT AROUND 50 MPH. I SHOULD ADD THAT I HAD PROBLEM WITH BATTERY IN JAN 2019. REPLACED BATTERY AND POSITIVE CABLE. BATTERY LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, REPLACED ALTERNATOR. PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT BATTERY LIGHT REOCCURRED. MECHANIC CLEANED OFF POSITIVE POLE, AND PROBLEM WAS SOLVED UNTIL TODAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION TOYOTA WESTON (4050 WESTON RD, DAVIE, FL 33331, (954) 644-4867) WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED PER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10132793 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES). THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY CE AND I NOTICED THAT IT'S BURNING TOO MUCH ENGINE OIL

THERE WAS ORIGINALLY A RECALL ON THE 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAD A WARRANTY TO REPLACE THE MELTING DASHBOARD. THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE GLARE THAT IT PRODUCES. THE CAR OWNER SHOULD NOT BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR AN ERROR TOYOTA CREATED. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT A RECALL WARRANTY SHOULD NEVER EXPIRE FOR SOMEONE WHO PAID FOR A VEHICLE WITH EXPECTATIONS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO ISSUES.

SUN VISOR (PASSENGER SIDE) HAS ROTATED SLOWLY DOWNWARD BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. APPARENTLY THE SPRING TENSION MECHANISM FAILED CAUSING THE VISOR TO HANG DOWNWARD OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. NOTE: THE SUN VISOR AND SUN VISOR BRACKET WAS PREVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN A TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE INVOLVING THIS SAME VEHICLE.

I WANT TO WASH MY CAR TO TOE DELTA SONIC CAR WASH AFTER THE WASH THE AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON

THE SUN VISOR DROPPED, BLINDING MY SIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE. TOYOTA HAD PREVIOUSLY ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT, BUT HAD SAID AT THE TIME THAT IF THE ISSUE HAS NOT YET APPEARED, WE SHOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PERIOD HAS EXPIRED, THEY ARE NOT PREPARED TO DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY CONCERN. A RECALL IS WARRANTED. NOT ONLY IS VISIBILITY SEVERELY IMPAIRED WHILE DRIVING, BUT ALSO REMOVING THE VISOR EXPOSES THE DRIVER TO STRONG SUN GLARES THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND AFFECTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA OF HOLLYWOOD (1841 N STATE ROAD 7, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021, 855-472-9747) WHERE THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS CHARGED A $250 SERVICE FEE FOR THE LABOR REQUIRED FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED, THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V689000 (VISIBILITY), WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE INITIAL DASHBOARD FAILURE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. RECENTLY, THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO MELT AGAIN AND AFFECTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WITH HAVING THE DASHBOARD REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOTIFY THE CONTACT THAT SHE WOULD BE ENTITLED TO A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE INITIAL FEE FOR THE FIRST REPAIR. THE CONTACT SUBMITTED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT, BUT HAD NOT HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE DASH IS STICKY FROM THE HEAT AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA CARS. REFLECTION IN DASH IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES MADE A WEIRD, CLICKING NOISE. ALSO, THE BRAKES SEIZED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE BEEPING SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO SOUTHERN 441 TOYOTA (9205 SOUTHERN BLVD, ROYAL PALM BEACH, FL 33411, 561-693-1393) WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES WERE FAULTY AND THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE PARTS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS TO BE SERVICED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I OWN 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY 79K MILES. I STARTED CONSUMED OIL ON 75K MILES. IT CONSUMED 1.3 EVERY 1000 MIES. 2007 TO 2009 2.4L 4-CYL 2AZ-FE. THIS ENGINE HAD BAD REPUTATION FOR OIL BURNING.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH 104,000 (+/-) MILES AND HAVE NOTICED IT'S CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL AN I HAVE HAD TO KEEP ADDING OIL TO THE ENGINE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER (ATLANTIC TOYOTA IN LYNN, MA) WHERE THEY'VE CONFIRMED THAT IT NEEDS NEW PISTON RINGS WHICH IS CAUSING THE OIL TO BE CONSUMED AT SUCH A A GREAT RATE. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF AND IN THE PAST HAS OFFERED FIXES (REPLACING THE PISTONS, ETC). I BELIEVE THEY CALLED IT A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM BACK IN 2015-2016. I WAS NOT OFFERED TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER THIS WARRANTY EFFORT.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID WITH 132,000 MILES. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THE VSC SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS HAPPENED AT 96,000 MILES. THE DEALER STAYED I HAD A LEAK IN THE BRAKE ACTUATOR AND CHARGED ME $150 TO DIAGNOSE, AND $2600 TO REPAIR, I DECLINED THE REPAIR AND TOOK IT TO A SHOP NEAR ME. THEY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM FOR $1000 AND IT LASTED ABOUT TWO YEARS, AND OW IT'S BACK. I HAVE SOFT BRAKES, NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE PUMP AND A CONSTANT WARNING BELL WHILE DRIVING.

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID BRAKE ACTUATOR FAILURE. TOYOTA ENHANCED WARRANTY EXTENDED THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR BOTH TIME AND MILEAGE. THE TIME FRAME HAS EXPIRED BUT THE MILEAGE ALLOTMENT WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO END (ONLY 103,000 MILES ON CAR). THIS DEFECT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL SINCE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE TO NUMEROUS TOYOTA CAMRY'S. THEY ISSUED THE ENHANCED WARRANTY TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF A RECALL AND LIMIT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS BY ONLY ASSISTING OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THIS BRAKE FAILURE DURING THEIR TIME FRAME. I AM A SENIOR WHO ONLY DRIVES THE CAR TO THE GROCERY STORE. WHEN RETURNING FROM SHOPPING, ALL THE BRAKE AND ANTI SKID LIGHTS LIT UP AND WE TOOK THE CAR STRAIGHT HOME. WE THEN TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. I AM BEING PENALIZED BECAUSE I AM A SENIOR WHO DOES NOT USE THEIR CAR EXCESSIVELY. THE ENHANCED WARRANTY TIME FRAME HAS EXPIRED, BUT THE MILEAGE ALLOTMENT WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO.

...FORM # 3 REQUEST #215013 CHAT TRANSCRIPT (E-MAIL)THE TOYOTA STICKY DASHBOARD LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA - WENDY GEORGE V. TOYOTA MOTOR CORP., ET AL. THE PLAINTIFF WAS REPRESENTED BY RICHARDSON, PATRICK, WESTBROOK & BRICKMAN, LLC. SAYS IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 16 YEARS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES ON THE DEALER WAITING LIST. BY THAT TIME THE VEHICLES WOULD LIKELY "BE OUT OF USE"!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE WAS ALSO LAWSUIT FILED BY MELISSA GRAHAM, THE OWNER OF A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THAT LAWSUIT, MELISSA GRAHAM V. TOYOTA MOTOR CORP., ET AL., WAS DISMISSED AFTER TOYOTA ANNOUNCED THE WARRANTY PROGRAM. BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A RECALL TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE STICKY DASHBOARD RESULTING FROM HEAT OF SUMMER AND WINTER HEATING WHICH CAUSES EYE, THROAT AND LUNG IRRITATION, CLOUDING, GLARE OF WINDSHIELD AND EYEGLASSES. THE CLOCK MOUNTED ON THE DASHBOARD HAS A CLOUD OVER THE PLASTIC COVER MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ AS WELL AS PLASTIC COVER OVER DOME LIGHTS. I BROUGHT ALL OF THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF SERVICE ADVISOR PRIOR TO THE TOYOTA WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT WHICH ENDED MAY 2017, HOWEVER THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A KNOWN ISSUE, DID NOT RECORD THE ISSUE AND SUGGESTED WHATEVER I USED TO CLEAN THE DASH, CLOCK AND DOME LIGHT CREATED THE PROBLEM. MY QUESTION, WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO MAKE TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARD? PERHAPS ANOTHER CLASS ACTION SUIT NOW THAT IT IS

ONE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE CHANGED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT CONTACT ME AND WHEN I WAS NOT CONVINCED BY HIS ANSWER, ANOTHER EMPLOYEE CAME TO ME AND SAID THAT THE OFFER OF REPLACEMENT HAD ENDED AND ALSO THEY ARE NOT CALLING TO BE REPLACED BUT THE CUSTOMER WHO GOES TO THEM TO CLAIM THE REPLACEMENT IS APPROVED AFTER CONSULTING THE MAIN COMPANY". MY 2007 CAMRY HAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000 MI. I OWNED A 2ND VEHICLE UNTIL IT WAS DONATED MAY 2015. "EVERYTIME" I GO IN FOR SERVICE MAINTENANCE, BECAUSE OF LOW MI AND EXCELLENT INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, I AM APPROACHED BY A SALESMAN TO PURCHASE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED TOYOTA CAMRY'S SINCE 1989. WHERE IS THE INTEGRITY, ETHICS, LOYALTY, RESPECT, SAFETY AND COMPASSION FOR CONSUMERS? HOW IN GOD'S NAME IS IT LEGAL TO SELL A VEHICLE TO A CONSUMER WITH A KNOWN DEFECT? HOW IN GOOD CONSCIENCE CAN A DEALER, SALESMAN SELL A VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN DEFECT WITH POTENTIAL HAZARD TO THE CONSUMER'S SAFETY? I NEVER THOUGHT TOYOTA MOTOR CORP WOULD BE IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS ALL OF THE MANUFACTURERS WHICH HAVE HISTORICALLY DECEIVED CONSUMERS. TOYOTA MADE PROMISES WITH A DASHBOARD WARRANTY PROGRAM THAT WAS CREATED AFTER TWO CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS WERE FILED IN 2014. THE AUTOMAKER CONCEDES THE DASHBOARDS CAN MELT BUT

TAKATA RECALLS DASH BOARD IS STICKY AIR BAG SIGN OFF

I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY 2007 AND I LIVE IN NORTH TEXAS. I WANTED TO CLEAN MY DASHBOARD ONCE IN SUMMER AND I SAW THAT IT'S COMING OFF AND IT'S STICKY AND I COULD SEE MY FINGERNAIL PRINTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND EVEN WHILE DRIVING IT EASILY GETS DENTED BY MY NAILS. BUGS AND DUST GET ATTACHED TO IT, AND THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO REMOVE THEM WHICH IS A HEALTH HAZARD. ALSO, ITS REFLECT ON THE WIND SHIELD SPECIALLY IN SUNNY DAYS, WHICH IS ALMOST EVERYDAY IN TEXAS, BLOCKS MY EYE SIGHT AND I HARDLY CAN SEE PASSENGERS OR TRAFFIC SIGNS WHICH IS REALLY DANGEROUS. AFTER SOME READINGS I FOUND THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE WAS A RECALL THAT I MISSED. I EMAILED TOYOTA AND FILED A COMPLAINT, BUT I GOT DISREGARDED. I CALLED AND YOU TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY OF YOUR CAR HAS BEEN EXPIRED WHICH WAS MAY 2017. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2016 AND BY MAY 2017 THERE WAS NO SUMMER OR HOT WEATHER. I NEVER GOT ANY EMAIL OR NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA TOLD ME YOU MUST PAY FOR THAT BY YOURSELF. I AM JUST A STUDENT AND CANNOT EITHER AFFORD REPLACING THE DASHBOARD OR CHANGING MY CAR. IT'S BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE AND I COULD NOT FIND A REAL SOLUTION FOR MY MELTING DASHBOARD. THE MAKER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS WITH SUCH ISSUES.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS SYSTEMS AND ABS LIGHTS COMES OUT AS I START THE CAR AND ALL GAUGES STOP WORKING, THE AC DON'T WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST IM GOING BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE FAILED TO PROVIDE THE CORRECT READING, THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND EMERGENCY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATES ON THE SCREEN. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING, IT DOES RAMDONLY AND NOW IS MORE FRECUENTLY.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN THE BRAKES WERE REALLY MUSHY AND IT TOOK A LOT OF FORCE TO STOP THE CAR. SHE PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN SHE RESTARTED THE CAR THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. SHE WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE BACK HOME.

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY TACKY WHICH IS CAUSING AN UNSAFE GLARE WHILE OPERATING MY VEHICLE. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE MY VEHICLE IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NO IMAGE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

THE DASBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING AND IS SO STICKY, THERE IS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD, MAKES IT HARD TO DRIVE.

STICKY & DEGRADING DASH PAD. MY VEHICLE IS PAST THE "ENHANCED WARRANTY" PERIOD FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CREATES GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

CHECK VSC SYSTEM

THE DASHBOARD KEEP MELTING AND STICKY HENCE AFFECTING VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING... I ACTUALLY TOOK IT TO FAMILY TOYOTA OF ARLINGTON BUT WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS OVER AND I HAVE TO PAY $1100 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE AND CANT AFFORD.

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD UNTIL JUNE 2017. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BECUSE I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. I ALSO NEVER REVEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA THEY SAID IT WAS STICKY AND THEY ORDERED A NEW DASHBOARD. I TOOK THE CAR IN THEN GOT A PHONECALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER MAY 2017. NOW IT IS BECOMING A SAFTEY ISSUE BECASE OF THE MELTING IT IS REFLECTING ON MY WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A SAFTEY HAZARD WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. TOYATA CORPORATE TOLD ME THEY MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS. WHAT CAN I DO?

BRAKES NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. BRAKE PRESSURE IS INCONSISTENT AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH AT THE SAME TIME! UNSAFE BRAKE CONDITIONS DUE TO TOYOTA PART DEFECT

THE DASHBOARD APEARS TO BE MELTING.BECAUSE THE DASH IS MELTING IT GIVES OFF A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT AFFECT VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS TURNED INTO A STICKY MESS THAT NO STORE BOUGHT CLEANER CAN CLEAR/CLEAN OFF. I FELL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS IF AFFECT THE VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER.

THE DASHBOARD IS IS SHINY AND SOFT LIKE IT'S MELTING. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY THEY WILL NOT COVER IT, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET IT LOOKED AT BEFORE THE DEADLINE. WE WERE NOT AWARE THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS COVERED TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT EVALUATED. NOT SURE OF WHEN IT STARTED.

TAKATA RECALL - MY DASH HAS SUCH A BAD GLARE I HAVE TO PLACE SOMETHING OVER IT SO I CAN SEE SAFELY. THE DASH IS MELTING SO MUCH I CANNOT EVEN GET IT CLEANED BECAUSE THE DASH WIPES OFF WITH THE CLEANING RAGS. IT IS MELTING INTO MY SUN VISOR AND HAS A STRANGE ODOR IN THE CAR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT CONSUMERS HAVE TO SUFFER AND BE BLINDED, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESP EARLY IN THE MORNING WHEN THE SUB IS SO BRIGHT! THE DASH IS PEELING OFF IN PLACES AS WELL, IT POPS UP AND HAS PIECES COMING OFF OR WIPING OFF AS IF THEY WERE BOILED AND VERY FRAGILE. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE GLARE, THE STICKINESS THAT MAKES EVERYTHING STICK TO IT AND YOU CANNOT CLEAN THE DASH AT ALL OR IT SMUDGES OFF AS MENTIONED EARLIER. THE PHOTOS ALSO SHOW THE DASH IS MELTING INTO MY SUN SHADES.

EXCESSIVE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD LIMITING VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. FROM NEWS REPORTS AS SEEN ON LOCAL NBC-TV AFFILIATE (JULY 31,2019) TOYOTA ADMITTED THAT MELTING DASHBOARDS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN/ WINDSHIELD GLARE EFFECT. THE MELTING DASHBOARD HAD BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA (A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR THE SECOND TIME - ORIGINALLY REPORTED IN 2014 AND TOYOTA INDICATED THEY WILL REVIEW). THE SECOND NOTIFICATION RESULTED IN THE RESPONSE THAT TOYOTA WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE. ISSUE HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE RECALL WHEN I SAW RECALL FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL AND MAKE I WAS LIKE FINALLY BUT COME TO FIND OUT THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T RECALLED BUT NEEDS TO BE. GOES OFF AND HAVE TO PULL OVER TO TURN BACK ON

THE DASH HAS BEEN MELTING FOR YEARS IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE. SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE , I HAVE USED THE SUN SHADES AND GARAGE AS WELL AND STILL MY DASH HAS SOFTEN, MELTED , CRACKED , CHUNKS COME OUT BY SIMPLY TOUCHING WITH FINGERNAIL ETC BY MISTAKE . I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL AND OWNED THE CAR SINCE 2009 AND LIVED ST THE SAME ADDRESS FOR 15 YEARS UNTIL RECENTLY. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE DEFECT FIXED !!!!! MY SECOND TOYOTA . PLEASE FIX IT !!

TAKATA RECALL. DASHBOARD IS STICKY, AC IS BROKEN, NEEDS TO REPLACE EVAPORATOR ASSEMBLY. CD PLAYER IS NOT WORKING
