2009 Toyota Camry complaints

THE DESK IS GETTING WORST STICKY AND THAT REFLECT TO WINDSHIELD HARD TO SEE SOMETIMES..AND CONSUMING LOTS OF ENGINE OIL..BOTH THEY ISSUED EXTENTED WARRANTY BUT I NEVER GOT ANY MAIL FROM TOYOTA THEY SAYS THEY SEND ME ON OLDER ADRESS..BUT I AM LIVING THIS ADRESS SINCE 2012 AND THE SAME ADRESS ON MY DRIVING LISENCE SINCE 2012.NOW WHEN IT CAME IN MY KNOWLEDGE THESE PROBLEM I CONTACT TOYOTA BUT THEY SAYS I JUST PASSED 10 YEARS AND THEY CANT DO ANYTHING.NOW I AM STUCK WITH THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ITS RUNNING OUT WHOLE ENGINE OIL LEVEL ON EVERY 2000 MILE...NO OIL IN IT.SO PLS HELP US. THANKS.MY CAR IS 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE.

I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS CAMRY. BACK IN 2015 I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND BROUGHT UP TO THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY. AT THE TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT AND REPLACING IT WOULD COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. NOW 4 YEARS LATER I FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT THAT COVERED THE DASHBOARD. MY DASHBOARD IS NOW SO STICKY THAT IT IS GLISTENING. I TRIED TO USE A SUN VISOR HOPING IT WOULD SLOW THE RATE OF MELTING BUT THEN MY SUN VISOR WOULD STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. I PLACE A HAT ON THE DASHBOARD ONCE FOR 10 MINUTES AND WHEN I REMOVED IT THERE WAS BLACK RESIDUE. FINALLY, I HAVE A CHILD NOW AND WHEN HE GETS INTO THE CAR HE HAS PUT HIS HANDS ON THE DASHBOARD AND GOTTEN THE BLACK DEBRIS AND CHEMICALS ON HIS HANDS AND I AM NOW CONCERNED FOR HIS HEALTH AND SAFETY. THERE WAS ALSO A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY SPOUSE CHANGES MY OIL FOR ME AND OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS COMMENTED THAT I WAS SURPRISINGLY VERY LOW ON OIL. I AM WONDERING WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR EITHER OF THESE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIM NOTICES WERE SENT OUT. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA #1911082336. THEY TELL ME THAT I AM OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR REPAIR AND IT WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE OUT OF POCKET WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING CONSIDERING I NOTIFIED THEM OF THE DASHBOARD ISSUE BEFORE.

ACCELERATOR GETS STUCK OPEN. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. IT WOULD REV AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. I TRIED DOWNSHIFTING WITH NO EFFECT. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT WITH BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO VERY HIGH RPMS, EVEN WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THEN IT FINALLY STALLED OUT.

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS BURNING OIL. TOYOTA DID NOT DO A RECALL OR CONTACT THE OWNER THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I AM OVER MY "YEARS' BUT WITHIN THE MILEAGE. THEY WILL NOT PLACE/REBUILD THE MOTOR.

MY DASH IS MELTING. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. IT'S CHIPPING OFF AND I WAS TOLD THE RECALL EXPIRED. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET IT FIXED IF NEVER A RECALL. ALSO MY ENGINE HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL AND I'VE HAD IT SERVICED PROPERLY AND IN A TIMELY FASHION THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE HAD IT. IT'S THE SEALS THAT KEEP LEAKING. IVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION ON MY TOYOTA. EVER. SO I'M NOT VERY SATISFIED WITH THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS. IM ATTACHING PICTURES OF MY DASH.

I TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICED AT A LOCAL OIL CHANGE PLACE IN JULY 2019. THEY NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE WAS CONSUMING OIL VERY RAPIDLY WHICH WASN'T NORMAL. LUCKILY FOR ME, THERE WAS A FORMER TOYOTA SERVICE TECHNICIAN WORKING THERE WHO RECALLED AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE IMPACTING SOME TOYOTA BRANDS. THEY DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND SOME INFORMATION ONLINE REGARDING A POTENTIAL RECALL OF THE IMPACTED VEHICLES. I WASN'T AWARE OF ANY TYPE OF ISSUE WITH MY CAR'S ENGINE OR A RECALL IN WHICH I COULD HAVE IT REMEDIED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS HEARING OF THE ISSUE. I TOOK THAT INFORMATION TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND AFTER REVIEWING IT, THEY SAID "WE'RE SORRY SIR, BUT YOUR VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING." THEY CONTACTED CORPORATE AND THE RESPONSE WAS THE SAME. I CONTACTED CORPORATE AND THE RESPONSE WAS THE SAME AS WELL. I'M REALLY ANNOYED THAT TOYOTA NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THEIR ENGINE'S CONSUMPTION OF OIL AND DIDN'T INFORM ME. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID "YOUR CAR BASICALLY HAS STAGE 4 CANCER... THIS ISSUE WILL PERSIST AND EVENTUALLY YOUR CAR WILL DIE." THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT HE SAID. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A PAID-OFF TOYOTA THAT WILL EVENTUALLY DIE AS A RESULT OF TOYOTA'S NEGLIGENCE AND FAILURE TO INFORM ME OF AN ISSUE. THERE ONLY OPTION WAS TO SELL MY CAR WHICH JUST SEEMS VERY TELLING OF THE SITUATION AS A WHOLE. I WORK IN METRO ATLANTA SO AT ANY GIVEN TIME, MY CAR COULD JUST DIE WHILE I'M DOING 65MPH. AND TOYO

1. MY PAINT IS PEELING 2. MY DASH IS MELTING, VERY VERY STICKY

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP CAUSING HAZARDOUS VIEW OBSTRUCTION.

SUN VISOR SAGS. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN AND TOYOTA SAYS WE RECEIVED IT VIA MAIL. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT A TOYOTA DEALER THAT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS IN GREENBROOK NJ. WE TOOK THE CAR TO DCH AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR WAS FALLING DOWN. WE CONTACTED THEM AND THEY SAID IT IS OUT BY 4 YEARS YET WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATIONS. WE CONTACTED THEM ABOUT NOT RECEIVING IT AND THEY SAID WE HAVE THE CORRECT ADDRESS. NOW WE PAY FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND SERVICE BULLETINS. THE VISOR WOULD BE A VISIBILITY FACTOR WHEN LINE OF SITE IS INTERRUPTED. WE HAD TO FIX AT OUR COST OF 104.00 FOR A PLASTIC SUN VISOR THAT HAD AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE GLUE SEPARATED AND IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE OWNER.

THE DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE OFF. UNABLE TO BLOCK THE LOW HORIZON SUN FROM SHINING INTO THE DRIVER'S FACE WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN.

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.

THE GLARE FROM THE STICKY DASHBOARD IS MAKING THE VEHICLE MORE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

FRONT END WAS TOTALED, FRAME EXPOSED, AREA SURROUNDING AIRBAG TRIGGER OBVIOUSLY SMASHED AND EXPOSED, YET NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT! THIS VEHICLE REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE (STATIONARY) WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-45MPH. MY DAUGHTERS HEAD BROKE THE WINDSHIELD. AN APPROPRIATE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SAFE CAR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND SAVE OTHERS.

GLARE FROM MELTED DASHBOARD

THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN FINE BUT WITH SOME DASH BOARD LIGHTS WENT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID I HAVE TO REPLACE ABS ACTUATOR ASSY.. I SAW EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THAT BUT NO SAFETY RECALLS. IF ISSUES ARE EXPECTED WITH PARTS, SHOULD NOT THERE BE SAFETY RECALLS INSTEAD OF EXTENDING WARRANTIES ONLY. WHY IS TOYOTA SAYING THERE MIGHT BE PARTS THAT MIGHT NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY BUT WILL BE FIXED ONLY THE PARTS FALL BY CERTAIN TIME. I AM WORRIED TO DRIVE WITH DASH BOARD LIGHTS OF BRAKES, ABS AND CHECK BACK SYSTEM LIGHT ON. TO FIX IT, I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $1600 FOR THE PART THAT SHOULD HAVE THE PART OF SAFETY RECALL.

RECENTLY 'AUGUST 2019' I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY ON A 'CLOUDY DAY' FOR MY SON TO DRIVE TO N.C. FOR COLLEGE. HE CAME HOME FOR AN OVERNIGHT VISIT AND I NOTICED HIS DASH WAS VERY SHINY AND HAD A HORRIBLE GLARE. THE GLARE WAS SO BAD I WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THIS IMPAIRING HIS ABILITY TO SEE. I NOTICED ON TOYOTA'S WEBSITE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DASH BUT READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS THAT TOYOTA WAS NOT REPLACING THEM IN A TIMELY FASHION AND FOR ONLY SO MANY YEARS. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTO THIS IS FOR SURE A VISIBILITY HAZARD AND MY SON OR OTHERS COULD BE KILLED DUE TO INABILITY TO SEE.

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY'S DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING. THERE IS NOT A WAY TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARD AS EVERYTHING STICKS.....INCLUDING DUST OR BUGS. THERE IS ALSO A GLARE THAT MAKES IT CHALLENGING TO DRIVE. TOYOTA WONT FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CREATING A GLARE MAKING DRIVING UNSAFE. IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF THIS GLARE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND PRODUCED A STICKY SUBSTANCE THAT LEAKED ALL OVER THE COCKPIT. THE MELTED LIQUID REFLECTED OFF THE WINDSHIELD AND PRODUCED A BLINDING GLARE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO BUTLER TOYOTA OF MACON (4580 RIVERSIDE DR, MACON, GA 31210, (478) 345-8512), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MECHANICS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SE, AFTER OWNING TEN TOYOTA VEHICLES SINCE 1978. I STILL OWN FOUR TODAY! I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS ISSUE IN ANOTHER CAR. IN 2014-2015 (ESTIMATED) MY ENTIRE DASH BOARD BECAME STICKY, AS IF I HAD POURED OIL ON IT. TODAY IT RELEASES A THICK STICKY RESIDUE ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WHEN PARKED IN THE SUN. THIS MAKES THE DASH IMPOSSIBLE TO WIPE... AS TOWELS, SPONGES, EVEN LEAVES, ETC., GET STUCK TO IT (SEE PICS). I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT FIRST WIPING THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD EACH TIME IT IS PARKED IN THE SUN, OR THIS RESIDUE MAKES IT OPAQUE (SEE PICS...AFTER WIPING IT). THIS SITUATION IS EXACERBATED WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN (SEE PICS) AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! I'M CONCERNED HOW THE DETERIORATED CONDITION OF MY DASH AFFECTS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OR IF IT STILL EVEN OPERATES CORRECTLY? ON 8/16/19, I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY TO TEN YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE. MINE WAS 7/29/09...PUTTING ME ONLY TWO WEEKS OUT OF THEIR 10-YEAR WARRANTY COVERAGE. TOYOTA CORPORATE AND MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE IN MY CASE ("1 DAY OR 1 MILE OVER WARRANTY AND WE WON'T HELP"). WHEN CHALLENGED, TOYOTA COULD NOT CONFIRM LETTERS WERE MAILED TO ALL AFFECTED OWNERS, ONLY THAT AN EFFORT WAS MADE TO SEND LETTERS TO SOME OWNERS IN 2015. MULTIPLE MODELS OVER SEVERAL YEARS ARE INVOLVED. I SPENT 8 HOURS ON THE PHONE APPEALING THEIR DECISION, WITHOUT SUCCESS. A NEW DASHBOARD COST

THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD IS MELTING

FRONT OF DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY, SPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE. IF I PLACE MY FINGER ON DASHBOARD SOME OF THE RUBBER COMES OFF OR EVEN LEAVES FINGER PRINTS.

MELTING DASH: I PLACED THIS UNDER "AIR BAGS" BECAUSE THERE IS LEGITIMATE CONCERN FOR THEIR OPERATION UNDER THE DEFECTIVE DASH. ALSO, THE GLARE FROM THE SHININESS OF THE DASH IS A CONCERN. I PURCHASED IT NEW IN MAY 2008. MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN DRIVING IT. THE PROBLEM CAME TO MY ATTENTION LITERALLY DAYS AFTER THE 10-YEAR "WARRANTY EXTENSION". I TALKED TO MY DEALER AND DIRECTLY TO TOYOTA AND THEY WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE DEFECTIVE DASH. THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T GO AWAY AFTER 10 YEARS.

ON MY VEHICLE, MY DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A STICKY RESIDUR ON THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. IT APPEARS THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS BEGAN TO MELT. IVE ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN, ETC WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. THIS STICKY RESIDUE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL GLARE EMITTING OFF IT THAT SOMETIMES INPAIRS MY VISIBILITY AND OFTEN TIMES CREATES A REFLECTION ON WINDSHIELD HINDERING VISION WHEN OOERATING VEHICLE. SECOND NOTE IS EVERY SENSE THIS HAS BEGAN AND GOTTEN WORSE MY CAR INTERIOR NOW HAS A DISTINCT SMELL. UNSURE WHAT THE SMELL IS BUT IT SMELLS LIKE AN ODOR OF A HOT PLASTIC MATERIAL. MY INTERIOR HAS BEEN DETAILED RRC AND THE SMELL WHEN NOT GO AWAY. I CONTACTED TOYOTA BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS LAWSUITS AND RECALLS IN THE PAST. I WAS TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. IF ITS CREATES UNSAFE DRIIVING CONDITIONS, HOW CAN THEY PUT AN EXPIRATION ON THE FIX. THE CONDITION OF DASHBOARD I BELIEVE WAS CREATED BY A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD NOT MADE TO WITHSTAND HUMIDITY OR HEAT. TOYOTA KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEMS, BUT REFUSES TO HELP LOYAL TOYOTA OWNERS, LIKE MYSELF. I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH HOW THEY HANDLED THIS. IN THE PICTURE ATTACHED. THE SUN IS OVERHEAD, SO THE REFLECTION NOT BAD BUT STILL VISIBLE. LOOK AT BOTTOM OF WINDSHIELD AND YOU WILL SEE THE REFLECTION.

STICKNESS OF DASHBOARD,THE SHINY/REFLECTIVE SURFACE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY AND MELTED. ALSO, THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF LINT ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KINGS TOYOTA (4700 FIELDS ERTEL RD, CINCINNATI, OH 45249, (513) 683-5440) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1908150490, BUT NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED NOW IT HAS ACTUALLY BROKEN DOWN TO THE POINT THAT THE PADDING AND VINYL COVERING JUST RUB OFF. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MANUFACTURERS WERE REQUIRED TO INSTALL PADDED DASHBOARDS YEARS AGO FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. TOYOTA DID EXTEND THE WARRANT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THE BREAK DOWN STARTED NATURALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *JB

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2010, NEVER RECEIVED BULLETIN FROM 2015 AND BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL SINCE PURCHASE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND IS STICKY AND SHINY WHICH HAS CREATED AN INTENSE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE SOME SPOTS WHILE DRIVING. THE SHINY DASHBOARD DOES NOT RETURN TO NORMAL EVEN IN COOLER TEMPERATURES, OR IF A SUNSHADE IS USED. THE SHINY STICKY GOO LIKE FILM CAN NOT BE WIPED AWAY EITHER.

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 HAVE NO SOLUTIONS. HOW DO I PROCEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXCEEDINGLY STICKY. IT IS VERY DISTRESSING TO SAY THE LEAST. A FLY GOT STUCK ON IT THE OTHER DAY AND USING A KLEENEX TO REMOVE IT WAS A MAJOR MISTAKE. HOWEVER, THE MOST UPSETTING CONSEQUENCE IS THE SAFETY HAZARD CREATED BY SHINY/REFLECTION ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS MOST CONCERNING. I HAVE INQUIRED AT TOYOTA WHAT CAN BE DONE AND THEIR ONLY RECOMMENDATION WAS TO USE A CLEANSER MADE FOR DASHBOARDS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT DID NOT WORK.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSES A CONSTANT GLARE THAT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TOLD TOYOTA ABOUT THIS THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY TOYOTA REGARDING THIS IS A POSSIBILITY OF HAPPENING. SUNSHADES DID NOT PREVENT THE MELTING AS IT GETS WORSE YEARLY AND I USE SHADES DAILY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING BECAUSE THIS PUTS MY LIFE AS WELL AS OTHERS IN DANGER DUE TO THE MAJOR GLARE.

SUN VISOR FLOPPING LOOSE. WILL NOT STAY UP & IS BLOCKING MY DRIVING VISION.THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT & TOYOTA SAID IT IS NOT BROKEN HOWEVER, IT WAS BROKEN. NOW THEY SAID RECALL EXPIRED IN 2015. & WANT $145 TO FIX IT. THE SUNVISOR IS BLINDING MY EYE SITE WHEN I DRIVE.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM.

MELTING STICKY DASHBOARD CAUSING GLARE OBSTRUCTING VISION

MY TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS MELTING, AND BECOMING STICKY AND GOOEY.THERE'S A GLARE THAT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE SHINY DASHBOARD, WHICH CREATES VISIBILITY CHALLENGES WHILE DRIVING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL BACK IN 2014.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY AND HAS A GLARE THE COMES OFF OF IT.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND REFLECTION FROM IT CAUSING DIFFICULTY SEEING OUT THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING

STICKY, MELTING DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE WHEN DRIVING AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING!

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.

HI MY NAME IS [XXX], MY CAR WAS PROBLEM AC OF ONE YEAR AGO OUT OF FREON IF I RECHARGE FREON IN A MONTH OUT OF FREON AGAIN, I GOING TO DEALER MAINTENANCE THEY SAY CHECK NO LICKING THEY TOLD ME THE MACHINE INSIDE THE CAR HAS BEEN PROBLEMS PLEASE I NEED HELP AND FIND OUT THANKS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL INTERNALLY. THERE IS NO EXTERNAL LEAKAGE. NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN MAY 2019. HAVE OIL CHANGE DONE. AFTER 600 MILES, NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ON JULY 27, 2019. IN MY OPINION IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL. THE PROGRAM COVERAGE IS APPLICABLE FOR 10 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF USE OR 150,000 MILES WHICH EVER OCCUR FIRST. MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED ANYMORE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DECLINED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS *TR*JB

THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT DROPS AND HANGS DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING.

DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT, CRACK, CHIP AND BECOME GOOEY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND ON THE PHONE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE 2 TIMES, AND THEY BOTH KEEP REDIRECTING ME TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS SINCE THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND IS REFUSING TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL THAT HAS SINCE EXPIRED, HOWEVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS CAUSES GREAT CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING WITH EASE OR HONESTY. A MELTING DASHBOARD IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES.

SAFETY SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP)COBB PARKWAY, MARIETTA, GA) SAID THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS ON THE YEAR OF MY CAMRY. SAFETY SYSTEM LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AND I AM AFRAID IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, I WILL NOT HAVE AIR BAG PROTECTION.

SUN VISOR IS BROKEN -TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX IT.THEY SAID IT WAS EXPIRED IN 2015 & THEY WANT $150 TO FIX IT. IS THAT TRUE THE RECALL EXPIRED IN 2015? IT BROKE 1 YEAR AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUE TO THE REFLECTING GLARE OF THE SUN ON THE WINDSHIELD, THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND BECAME VERY STICKY AND SHINY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY DUE TO THE GLARE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

BOUGHT 09 CAMRY NEW. IN 2015, @ 130,000 MILES, THE "LOW OIL" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO DO THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, (THEY OVERFILLED THE ENGINE WITH OIL). WHEN CAME BACK IN 1200 MILES WAS TOLD THE CAR IS BURNING OIL BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR TOYOTA TO COVER THE REPAIR (SINCE THEY OVERFILLED THE ENGINE WITH OIL) THE CAR CONTINUED TO CONSUME MORE OIL. NOW AT 170,000 MILES, THE CAR BURNS AROUND 2 QRTS OF OIL EVERY 1000. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

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.

EXTREMELY STICKY, OVERHEATED, SMELLY, HOT DASHBOARD.WAS ALWAYS SOMEWHAT STICKY, BUT NOW CANNOT TOUCH, LIKE GLUE. AFRAID TO DRIVE, SMELLS, EVEN COVERED IS BEYOND STICKY AND HAS REFLECTIVE GLARE, DIFFICULT TO SEE. LIVE IN TX. PARKED AND IN MOTION. STICKY AFTER 5 MIN ON ROAD. IS LIKE SUPER GLUE, AFRAID WILL BURN.CAR GARAGED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT, THE RECALL EXPIRED.*JS
