1)BODY- The body of the vehicle (paint) seems to be chipping and/or rusting at an increasingly rapid rate with no known causes. This rusting is causing the value of the car to plummet as I am trying to sell the vehicle. It first appeared in about 2019 and has been getting steadily worse without any way to stop it. 2) SUSPENSION- On every single Toyota I’ve owned (4) the struts wore very quickly and are NOT a cheap fix. I had to at one point, fix them more than once in the same vehicle. I was told by the repair tech that it is a common issue seen in Toyotas. If a strut goes while driving it can cause major safety issues for the driver. 3)WHEELS- The hubcaps more specifically speaking, on every Toyota I’ve owned, have also had an issue maintaining its hubcaps. One rolled off on the highway and nearly caused me to crash as it hit the side of my car and slid under the rear tires and made me slide all over the snowy highway. Luckily there weren’t many vehicles on the road or it could’ve been catastrophic. I also notice that the light for the tire pressure never turns off either. I can fill the tires, empty the tires, it does not matter, the light will never go off.

The 2007 Toyota Camry has a manufacturing defect related to sticky/melting dashboards as a result of heat or humidity. Toyota sent me a warranty notice for an extension for 10 years from the date of first use of the vehicle, which they determined was the date that I purchased the vehicle on July 31, 2007. In 2013, I took the vehicle to a Toyota dealer, however, they refused to replace the dashboard because, in their opinion, it was not sufficiently compromised. However, now, years later, the dashboard has become very sticky and reflective. It produces a glare into the windshield, impairing vision, which is now a safety issue due to the manufacturer defect. This defect could cause serious injury and death. On August 5, 2022, I appealed to Toyota customer service for them to replace the dashboard. I emphasized the safety issue. However, a Senior Representative declined to make an exception. I then wrote to [XXX], CEO of Toyota Motor North America to ask for his help (see attached letter). I asked him to personally authorize the dashboard replacement and reply to me directly. Almost two months later, I have not received any communication from him. Moreover, on October 4th, I called Toyota customer service to follow-up on my letter. I was told that [XXX], Executive Office Administrator send me an email on September 1st asking for the best time to contact me. I never received this email, neither in my inbox or in my gmail spam folder. That same day, I called [XXX] and left a detailed voice message. I have called him several times since then, each time leaving a message on his voicemail. He has deliberately refused to return my phone calls. I am appalled that Toyota and its CEO does not take safety issues seriously. I kindly ask you to either contact Toyota on my behalf to have them replace the dashboard, or to issue a recall of all 2007 Toyota Camry's due to a manufacturer defect that can result in serious injury or death.

The dashboard melts when parked outside causing objects to get stuck and reflect in the windshield.

The dashboard of my Camry gets a sticky gloss when the sun is shining. The reflection from the glossy dashboard is reflected onto my windshield making driving hazardous whenever the sun is shining or if the weather is hot. I have to cover the dashboard with a towel to keep myself and other drivers safe because it is very difficult to see through the glared windshield. Dealer was contacted and I was told a recall was sent (about six years ago) but it never arrived to my home. You report regarding recalls, which I accessed today, says there are no unrepaired recalls for my vehicle. I am at risk, my passengers are at risk and every other driver on the road are at risk due to this well known, documented flaw in the 2007 Toyota Camrys.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON DASHBOARD ON MY VEHICLE AND TOYOTA WON'T REPLACE THE DASH NOW BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THE REPLACEMENT PERIOD IS OVER NOW HOWEVER I'M MILITARY AND THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DEPLOY. I HAVE TRIED CALLING THEM HOWEVER THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS FOR ME. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

DASHBOARD MELT. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS TOYOTA CAMRY AND DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL AFTER THAT THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND GETS REALLY SHINEY AS THE TEMPERATURE RISES. THIS CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND OUT THAT TOYOTA ISSUED A EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER THEY SAID THAT IT EXPIRED ON 5/31/17 AND THEY CANT DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR ONLY HAS 68370 MILES AND HAS A LONG LIFE. I DO FEEL THAT MY LIFE IS IN DANGER WITH THIS KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX. PLEASE HELP!!!!! THIS ISSUE IS ALL OF THE TIME. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SEEMS TO BE MELTING. WITH THE SLIGHTEST TAP TO IT, PIECES OF THE RUBBER ON THE DASHBOARD WILL BREAK OFF. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE DASHBOARDS DURING THE TIME I PURCHASED IT BUT BEING THAT I WAS NOT THE OWNER IN TOYOTA'S LOG I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA VIA TELEPHONE AND GOTTEN NO RESULTS AND I HAVE WENT TO A TOYOTA LOT AND STILL HAVEN'T GOT ANY RESULTS. ANY AND EVERYTHING IS ABLE TO STICK TO THE DASHBOARDS PUTTING IT AT RISK OF BECOMING HOME FOR MICROORGANISMS AND POSSIBLY CAUSING RESPIRATORY ISSUES FOR ME. I AM NOT ABLE TO DISINFECT THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT. IN THE PAST I WOULD NO DOUBT RECOMMEND TOYOTA TO EVERYONE DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY FAMILY HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SUPPORTER OF TOYOTA BUT CURRENTLY I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FIX SOMETHING THAT IS A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE.

MELTED AND STICKY DASHBOARD.

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.

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.

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. IF I PRESS INTO THE DASHBOARD WITH MY FINGER, IT RETAINS A FINGERPRINT. I CAN EASILY CLEAVE A PIECE OFF WITH MY NAIL. OBVIOUS WHEN THE DASHBOARD IS SHINY ON A SUNNY DAY, THE GLARE IS ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR RECENTLY

IN FACT I HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM ONE THE IT IN PAIRS YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU GET IN A ACCENTDENT WE CAN GO AFTER TOYODA OF NOT RECALLING A PART THAT HAS A SAFETY CONCERN. IT IS SO SOFT YOU NAIL JUST ITS IT AND MAKES A DENT. I DON'T SHOW IN A PIC BUT BY THE GLOVE BOX THERE IS A PIECE THAT EVER RUBS OFF. IT IS AS THIN AS ONE COAT OF PAINT ON THE GLOVE BOX.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING AND IS VERY STICKY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE AND NOTICE THAT NO ONE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE CORRECTED BY TOYOTA FOR FREE, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO DEAL WITH BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I PURCHASED A TOYOTA VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION ON QUALITY & CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT UNTIL NOW I'VE NOT SEEN EITHER OF THESE. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT & MAKE IT RIGHT FOR ALL AFFECTED CONSUMERS. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CLEAN DASHBOARD AT ALL. EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND IF YOU TOUCH IT WITH YOUR FINGER NAIL-STICKY CHUNKS COME OUT..... THE GLARE IS AWFUL AND SINCE BOTH OF MY VISORS HAVE BROKEN OFF I CANT USE THOSE TO HELP...

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAMRY BECOMES TACKY AND VERY SHINY DUE TO DETERIATION FROM SUNLIGHT. THIS SHINY FINISH CAUSES DANGEROUS GLARE AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. THE TACKINESS PREVENTS THE DASHBOARD FROM BEING CLEANED PROPERLY TO PREVENT REFLECTIONS AS WELL.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IN MAY 2006 (THE VIN PLATE SHOWS IT WAS MADE IN KENTUCKY). 2007 WAS A NEW BODY STYLE. THE CAMRY HAD A TACH WELD DEFECT IN THE RIGHT REAR FENDER WELL. ORIGINALLY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS MY REAR GRAB HANDLE SHAKING. I KNEW IT WASN'T. HAVING NO OTHER RECOURSE, I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE. THEY FLEW IN 2 TECH SERVICE ENGINEERS FROM CA TO MY STATE, AND WITH THE DEALER, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY (OR NO) TACH WELD IN THE RR FENDER WELL CAUSING THE FRAME OF THE BODY TO STRIKE TOGETHER. THE CAR WAS SENT TO A WELDING SHOP AND THE DEFECT WAS REPAIRED. IT'S NOW SEPTEMBER 2015 AND ABOUT A MONTH AGO I BEGAN TO HEAR THE "TINK TINK" SOUND AGAIN- INDICATING THE SAME, OR ANOTHER, FAULTY TACH WELD. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE AGAIN (JUST NOW), AND AM WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. SINCE THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE FRAME OF THE CAR, I'M VERY CONCERNED.

A "STICKY" AND CRACKING DASHBOARD FROM FLORIDA HEAT CAUSES A HUGE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS MAKES VISIBILITY EXTREMELY LIMITED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NOT USED ANY CLEANING OR POLISHING PRODUCTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I AM CONVINCED IT IS JUST FROM HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY OVER TIME. AFTER NOTICING THE PROBLEM I TRIED TO REDUCE DIRECT SUNLIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD BY USING WINDSHIELD COVERS; HOWEVER, THE DASH STILL REMAINED "STICKY" AND THE COVERS JUST SIMPLY STUCK TO THE DASH. THE ISSUE USED TO ONLY OCCUR WHEN IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE, BUT NOW THE DASH HAS BEEN "MELTED" SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS BECOME GLOSSY. WHICH MEANS EVEN IN COOLER TEMPERATURES THE DASH REFLECTS ANY SUNLIGHT AND CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. AGAIN, THIS ISSUE HIGHLY DECREASES VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO PERFORM THE EASIEST MANEUVERS SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE. I HAVE EVEN BOUGHT EXPENSIVE POLAROID SUNGLASSES TO SOMEWHAT REDUCE THE GLARE, BUT VISIBILITY IS STILL DIFFICULT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE IT CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH WINDEX AND A PAPER TOWEL OR A DRY CLOTH. IT NOW HAS PAPER TOWEL PIECES STUCK ALL OVER IT AND THE DUST IS PERMANENTLY ON THE DASH BECAUSE IT WON'T WIPE OFF. THERE IS ALSO A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND A HORRIBLE SUBSTANCE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT CANNOT BE WIPED OFF NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU CLEAN IT, IT JUST SMEARS. THIS CAUSES DIFFICULTIES DRIVING AT NIGHT. GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT CHEMICALS ARE BEING RELEASED INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT WE ARE ALL INHALING! I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO ROUND ROCK TOYOTA IN ROUND ROCK, TX AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME HOW AWFUL IT WAS BUT THEY COULDN'T/WOULDN'T HELP ME UNLESS I WANTED TO PURCHASE A NEW DASH BOARD FOR MY CAR. FROM MY READING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE DEFECTIVE MATERIALS THEY HAVE USED IN THESE VEHICLES. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR LIKE THIS AND I'M SURE IT WILL EFFECT THE VALUE OF MY CAR SHOULD I EVER TRY TO REPLACE IT. *TR

WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER YESTERDAY EVENING FROM A TOYOTA DEALER IN FL. I SAW A SHINY BLEMISH ON THE DASHBOARD UP BY THE LEFT FRONT SPEAKER AND THE SALESMAN TOLD US THE DASH WAS PROBABLY DAMAGED BY CLEANING AGENTS. I REALIZED TODAY AFTER THE CAR WAS IN THE SUN THAT THE WHOLE DASH WAS SOFT AND STICKY LIKE IT WAS MELTING AND WAS CAUSING A VERY BLINDING GLARE WHEN FACING CERTAIN DIRECTIONS WITH THE SUN. THE DASH IS SO SHINY THAT IT ALSO REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE WHOLE DASH FEELS LIKE A FLY TRAP AND TO ME SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE OBSTRUCTION OF DUE TO GLARE. I'VE BEEN READING ONLINE AND APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD, NOR IS IT LIMITED TO TOYOTA. IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURED PARTS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE HANDLED OR RECALLED BY THE CAR MANUFACTURE.. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A SMELL THE HOTTER IT GETS IN THE CAR AND I DON'T KNOW IF ITS THE PLASTIC IN THE DASH OR IF IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY HARMFUL. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU! *TR

DURING JULY, 2013, I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAMRY WAS STICKY AND LOOKED GRIMY. I ASKED MY HUSBAND IF HE COULD CLEAN IT FOR ME. WHEN WE HAD THE CAR SERVICED IN AUGUST, 2013, WE WERE GIVEN THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR TOYOTA TO REPORT MY PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT UNTIL A ROAD TRIP THIS PAST SUMMER, THAT WE NOTICED HOW EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IT WAS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT THE DISTRACTION FROM ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS HITTING OUR GLOSSY DASHBOARD. WAS DISTRACTING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE GLARE OF THE DASHBOARD ON THE FRONT WINDOW FROM THE SUN DURING THE DAY WAS AS TERRIBLE. WE COULD NOT SEE EXIT SIGNS OR TRAFFIC WARNING LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT GLARE AND BLINDING REFLECTION. AFTER I SAW A NEWS INVESTIGATION ON NBC6 MIAMI CONCERNING MY SAME PROBLEM, I REALIZED THAT THIS SITUATION IS A GROWING CONCERN FOR TOYOTA OWNERS AND SHOULD BE BY TOYOTA. MY FAMILY HAS HAD TOYOTAS SINCE MY MOTHER'S CRESSIDA IN 1984. WE HAVE LIVED IN MIAMI SINCE THEN AND HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED TOYOTAS; TERCEL, COROLLA-SR-5, 3 CELICAS, 3 COROLLAS, ETC.

THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE BRAKE ON. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND WENT THROUGH THE GLASS FRONT OF A BANK BUILDING, LANDING IN THE VESTIBULE. THE ACCIDENT DATA PROVIDED BY THE INSPECTOR HIRED BY TOYOTA CLEARLY SHOWS THAT AT THE TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED THE ACCELERATION INCREASED FROM .78 TO 2.27 AND THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED FROM 400 TO 2000. WHEN THE BRAKE WAS RELEASED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT, THE ACCELERATION RATE RETURNED TO .78 AND THE RPMS DROPPED TO 1600. TOYOTA SAYS THEY FOUND NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND INSISTS THAT BOTH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE WERE PRESSED AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY, BUT AT THE TIME WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. WE FEEL TOYOTA DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. AS A RESULT, MY WIFE IS NOW AFRAID TO RIDE IN THE CAR. *TR

9-30-2014: MY DASHBOARD AS BEEN MELTING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. AT FIRST I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS SOFT ON ESPECIALLY HOT DAYS, BUT THE CONDITION CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE. NOW PIECES ARE STARTING TO COME OFF AND VISIBILITY IS GETTING WORSE DAILY AS THE DASH BECOMES SHINIER. I PARK MY CAR IN A CARPORT OUT OF THE SUN. I DRIVE THE CAR SHORT DISTANCES ONCE A WEEK OR LESS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER IN GAINESVILLE FLORIDA SEVERAL TIMES ASKING WHAT TO DO. THEY FINALLY TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA CORPORATE, WHICH I DID IN AUGUST. THEY SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF OTHER OWNERS WITH PROBLEMS AND SINCE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WAS NOT A PREFERRED CUSTOMER (SINCE I HAVEN'T PURCHASED MORE THAN ONE TOYOTA) THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. TODAY I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER IN PERSON. [XXX], THE SERVICE REP, SAID IT WOULD COST $3,000 TO REPLACE, OR I COULD GET A DASHBOARD COVER. HOWEVER, HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT COVERING THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. HOW MANY OWNERS ARE TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE ON THEIR OWN WITH COVERS ONLY TO CAUSE A MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BAG IN AN ACCIDENT?! I'M SO EXASPERATED WITH HOW TOYOTA HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM I BEGAN AN INTERNET SEARCH TODAY AND DISCOVERED THE MEDIA REPORTS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. WOW! WHEN I TALKED TO [XXX] TODAY I ASKED HIM IF HE HAS SEEN THIS ISSUE. HE LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD AND SAID, "NO." IS THIS HOW TOYOTA IS TRAINING THEIR REPS? TO LIE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS? I GUESS SO NOW THAT I SEE THE REPORTING OF THE PROBLEM AND NEWS THAT A LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED BY FERRARO LAW FIRM IN MIAMI. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON 9/19/14, I SPOKE WITH "[XXX]", CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER, TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS REGARDING MY MELTING DASHBOARD. I EXPLAINED THAT IT'S A SECURITY ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF, AND WHICH I BECAME AWARE OF BY LOCAL MEDIA. I INFORMED HER THAT THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT GLARE FROM MY DASHBOARD, AND ANYTHING THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH IT STICKS, SO I CAN'T EVEN USE A VISOR. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN DELRAY BEACH, FL HAS OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD FOR AN OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE TO ME OF $600 (TOTAL REPORTEDLY NORMALLY $2000), HOWEVER, I ADVISED TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO COST TO ME DUE TO THE KNOWN SECURITY ISSUES, REPORTED ACCIDENTS, THEIR COMPANY'S INTEGRITY AND MY LOYALTY AS A LONGTIME TOYOTA CUSTOMER. [XXX] REMINDED ME THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THAT "OUT OF RESPECT FOR YOU, THE DEALERSHIP IS OFFERING YOU ASSISTANCE. WE DON'T HAVE A RECALL NOTICE OR CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR THIS VEHICLE, SO THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE." AS A CORPORATION, TOYOTA SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND BE PROACTIVE IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. ULTIMATELY, SOMEONE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR MISFORTUNE WHEN A LOVED ONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES IN AN ACCIDENT ATTRIBUTED TO THE GLARE. TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS SHOULD HAVE BEEN WILLING TO SEND ME A VOUCHER OR MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE $600 TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD. PUBLIC OPINION CAN AFFECT THEIR BOTTOMLINE AND THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY WILLING TO PUT THE PUBLIC AT RISK TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS UPFRONT. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT HAS THE MELTING DASHBOARD. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT MANY TIMES STARTING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2012. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT. SOMETHING I USED ON DASHBOARD.

LAST MONTH AUGUST, 2014 8 ON YOUR SIDE AIRED THE STORY ON MELTING DASHBOARDS. I CALLED TOYOTA AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY WERE SORRY NO ONE GOT BACK TO ME. THEY SAID THEY HAD THE COMPLAINT ON FILE, BUT COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY I GOT NO RESPONSE. A FEW DAYS LATER THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR JUST UNDER $800.00. I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE GLARE IT CAUSES OFF THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IF DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ALSO MELTING PLASTIC MAY NOT BE GOOD FOR THE AIR QUALITY. THANK YOU I WAS IN CONTACT WITH CLEARWATER TOYOTA. THEY SAID I HAD 90 DAYS TO ACCEPT OR DENY THEIR OFFER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY AND BEGAN TO MELT. THE FAILURE CAUSED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISION.

IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, AT FIRST (APPROX. 2011) THE DASHBOARD WOULD FEEL STICKY, AS IF SOMETHING HAD SPILLED ON IT. HOWEVER THE STICKINESS COULD NOT BE CLEANED UP. IT WAS IN FACT THE MATERIAL OF THE DASHBOARD MELTING. IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND SPREADS ACROSS A LARGER AREA, TO THE POINT THAT NOW (2014) THE DASH CANNOT BE TOUCHED WITHOUT A MARK BEING LEFT IN THE MELTED MATERIAL. IT LOOKS WET AND IS SO GLOSSY THAT THE GLARE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD, NOT JUST WITH THE BLINDING GLARE WHICH IMPAIRS VISION, BUT BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS CONTAINED INSIDE OF THE DASHBOARD AND THE DASHBOARD BEING MELTED MAY AFFECT ITS DEPLOYMENT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING EAST ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY THE SUN WAS HITTING MY DASHBOARD AND BECAUSE OF THE MELTING CONDITION OF THE DASHBOARD THERE WAS A GLARE IN FRONT OF ME THAT IMPAIRED MY VISION. IT FORCED ME TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN TO GET WAY FROM THE GLARE. THIS DASH BOARD BECOMES SO STICKY IN THE HEAT THAT I CANT DISPLAY PARKING PASSES IN THE WINDOW BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO REMOVE THEM.

I UNDERSTAND WEAR AND TEAR BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS AND THIS IS THE FIRST SITUATION I'VE COME ACROSS THAT I FELT NEEDED TO BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY, NO MATTER HOW OLD THE CAR IS. TOYOTA TOLD ME IT HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE. CLEARLY FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, THEY ARE IN DENIAL. MOST REPORTS I'VE SEEN ONLINE ARE IN TEXAS AND FLORIDA. I'M REPORTING THIS ISSUE FROM ST. LOUIS, MO. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY DEVELOPED MELTED DASHBOARD. DASHBOARD BECAME SEVERELY STICKY AND GUMMY AND CONTINUALLY WORSENED. MELTED DASHBOARD CREATES A SIGNIFICANT GLARE ON WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MELTED DASHBOARD ALSO RAISES A CONCERN FOR PROPER OPERATION OF AIRBAGS. TOYOTA USA AND LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AWAY ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAMRY BACK IN 2010. CAR WAS GREAT, LOOKED GREAT. DASH LOOKED GOOD, OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT THE DEALERS DETAILER MADE IT LOOK GOOD. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, NOTICED THE DASH WAS INCREDIBLY STICKY. TOOK IT TO BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE DASHBOARD, AND IT WAS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALER TOO AND THEY SAID TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER EITHER. THE DASH IS INCREDIBLY STICKY, LIKE THE GLUE THAT TOYOTA USED TO GLUE THE TOP MATERIAL DOWN ON THE DASH IS SEEPING THROUGH THE TOP LAYER. THE GLUE CREATES AN INCREDIBLE GLARE WHEN DRIVING, WHICH CAN BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS DURING SUNNY DAYS AS IT MAKES THINGS HARD TO SEE UNLESS YOU'RE WEARING A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES, AND EVEN SO THE GLARE IS STILL THERE. THE GLUE ALSO MAKES THINGS STICK TO THE DASH, MAKING IT INCREDIBLY HARD TO CLEAN AS WELL, WHICH CAN ALSO SHOW UP ON THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE NEVER USED ANY GREASY, OR OILY PRODUCTS TO CLEAN MY DASH AS I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THE GLUE/GLARE PROBLEM EVEN WORSE. I'M TEMPTED TO EITHER BUY A DASH COVER, WHICH IRONICALLY WILL STICK TO THE DASHBOARD, OR TINT MY WINDSHIELD TO KEEP THE GLARE DOWN. IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING TOYOTA CHEAPED OUT ON THE MATERIAL USED IN THE DASH, THAT'S GOING TO HURT RESALE VALUE FOR ALL CAMRYS WITH THE ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD, AND CAN CREATE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS IF THE GLARE IS BAD ENOUGH FOR SOME PEOPLE. I MODERATE A TOYOTA FORUM AND I SEE THIS EXACT ISSUE POP UP A LOT. I'VE INCLUDED A FEW LINKS FOR REFERENCE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN NOVEMBER 2006 FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND KEEP IT PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHEN IT'S NOT BEING USED. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, THE HEAT OF THE SUN BEGAN MELTING MY DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO LOOK VERY GLOSSY AND SHINY AND FEEL VERY STICKY, LIKE GLUE. PARTS OF IT BEGAN TO PEEL. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A HOT SUNNY DAY, THE SHINE OF THE DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HOPING THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR IT AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, BUT THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AROUND $3,000 TO REPLACE THE DASH. THEY ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA CAMRY MODELS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2007 AND 2010, YET THEY NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT'S CLEAR FROM THIS THAT IT WAS PERFECTLY FEASIBLE FOR THEM TO USE A DIFFERENT MATERIAL MADE TO WITHSTAND HEAT IN WARMER CLIMATES, BUT THEY DID NOT. THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IS HAZARDOUS AS IT CAN IMPAIR THE DRIVER'S VISION WHEN THE GLARE IS STRONG. I KINDLY REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA TAKE SOME ACTION TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF OUR 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE DASHBOARD STARTED BECOMING STICKY AS IF A PASTE WAS ON IT. EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN BECAUSE IT WILL LITERALLY PEEL OFF. I DETERMINED THAT IT MELTED IN THE FLORIDA HEAT. AFTER HEARING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER CARS AND LEAVING THE SAME DANGEROUS GLARE WHEN DRIVING I TOO AGREE THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS I THOUGHT PREVIOUSLY. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS DEVELOPED A VERY SOFT AND VERY STICKY DASHBOARD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME SORT OF RESIDUE BUT THE DASHBOARD JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE. YOU CAN NOT TOUCH IT WITHOUT LEAVING A MARK ON IT, EITHER A FINGER PRINT OR A NICK FROM CATCHING IT WITH YOUR FINGERNAIL. ANY AND ALL DUST PARTICLES STICK TO ITS SURFACE AND BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME STICKINESS IT CAN NOT BE CLEANED OFF. THE GLARE FROM THE SUN IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART! YOU CAN NOT SEE, EVEN WITH VISOR DOWN AND SUNGLASSES ON! *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR IS LITERALLY MELTING. IT NOW HAS A GLARE THAT HAS CREATED BLIND SPOTS IN THE DAYTIME WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THE REP I SPOKE TO FLAT OUT LIED ABOUT THERE BEING AN ISSUE. SHE TOLD ME THAT DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE FULL COST OF REPLACING THE DASHBOARD. SHE SAID IT WAS THE FIRST TIME SHE HEARD OF IT WHEN I KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE DUE TO A TV STATION REPORT IN FLORIDA REPORTING ON THE ISSUE AND THE HUNDREDS OF CAMRY OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS DASHBOARD! I DON'T SEE WHY THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD WHEN IT IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THE BLIND SPOT IT CREATES AS WELL AS IT COULD BE EMITTING TOXIC FUMES FROM THE MELTING SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS. *TR

DASHBOARD OF SUBJECT VEHICLE STARTED DISPLAYING SIGNS OF A VERY STICKY SUBSTANCE IN THE SUMMER OF 2013. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DEC. OF 2010 WITH ONE PREVIOUS OWNER .. SIGNS OF MELTING DASHBOARD DID NOT APPEAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS PAST THE WARRANTY. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT NUMEROUS TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DEALING WITH TOYOTA DIRECTLY, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD BUT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $624 IN LABOR. MY POSITION IS THAT THIS IS EITHER A PRODUCTS LIABILITY, IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR LATENT DEFECT ISSUE AND HAS NO BEARING ON AN EXPIRED WARRANTY. IN ADDITION, THERE MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG DUE TO DETERIORATING DASHBOARD, NOT TO MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF TOXIC FUMES CIRCULATING THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL DUE TO NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (SEE HTTP://TSIKOT.COM/FORUMS/TOYOTA-CARS-TALK-80/2008-CAMRY-STICKY-DASHBOARD-89916/ ALSO HTTP://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/TOYOTA/70NO2-TOYOTA-CAMRY-SE-STICKY-DASHBOARD-2007 CAMRY-HOW.HTML AND HTTP://WWW.HOWTOMAKE.ORG/0PVGKMONEYLS3W74/TOYOTA-CAMRY-STICKY-DASHBOARD.HTML). *TR

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, I HAVE NOTICED MY DASHBOARD IS OVERLY HOT IN HIGH TEMPS. (I LIVE IN SW FLORIDA). TODAY, THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY, VERY HOT, SHINY IN SPOTS, AND NOW FILLED WITH SMALL CHUNKS FROM Y FINGERNAIL HITTING IT. I CAN'T CLEAN IT AS THE RAG WILL STICK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MATERIAL DEFECT THAT THE MAKER USED. NO WHERE IN MY OWNERS MANUAL OR CONTRACT DID IT STATE THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL BECOME MUCH AFTER 6 YEARS, AND THE CAR SHOULD ONLY BE USED IN THE COLDER STATES. I USE FOUR LAYERS OF HOUSE INSULATION AND A SUN VISOR. NOTHING HELPS, AS THIS PROBLEM IS AGGRAVATED BY HIGH TEMPERATURES. I AM TOLD THIS IS A $1,000 DASHBOARD AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR LABOR TO GET IT REPLACED. REALLY/ HOW UNACCEPTABLE. AGAIN, NO WHERE IN MY CONTRACT DID IT STATE THAT JUST OVER WARRANTY EXPIRATION, THE DASH WOULD MELT. AND HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG? AND THE GLARE FROM THE SUN ON THE DASH? HOW CAN THIS BE SAFE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE INTERJECTS? PLEASE RECALL THIS ITEM AND MAKE OUR VEHICLES SAFE. A VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER. (1 OF MANY!). *TR

WHITE POWDER OR DUST BLOWING OUT OF AIR VENTS OF MY HEATING VENTS IN WINTER AND AC VENTS IN SUMMER. DUE TO THAT CAR ALSO SMELL LIKE DUSTY ETC..

I AM EXHALING THAT WHITE POWDER INSIDE ME, I AM NOT SURE WHAT THAT POWDER IS, AND HOW IT WILL EFFECT MY HEALTH IN LONG TERM.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY TOYOTA IS FALLING APART. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT CONTAINS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. ADDITIONALLY, THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE SHINE IS VERY DISTRACTING BOTH DAY AND NIGHT AS SUNLIGHT AND LIGHTS REFLECT AND BLIND THE DRIVER. I BELIEVE WARRANTIES SHOULD COVER ANYTHING THAT IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS, A DEFECTIVE PART, IF A PART IS DEFECTIVE WHEN YOU MANUFACTURER THE CAR OR WHETHER IT FAILS WITHIN WARRANTY OR OUT OF WARRANTY IT SHOULDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE." I AND OTHER DRIVERS FEEL THE DEFECT IS UNSAFE, AND SHINE A LIGHT ON THE ISSUE WITH VIDEOS TAKEN FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW. NOW WE'VE LEARNED THE SAFETY ISSUES MAY GO EVEN DEEPER. "BECAUSE THIS DASHBOARD HAS THE AIRBAG INSIDE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE I WOULDN'T FEEL SAFE IN A CAR THAT HAD A CRACKED DASH," EXPLAINED [XXX].

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS VERY STICKY AND MELTING. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD ALOT OF COMPLAINTS BE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALLED.

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS BECOME SOFT AND STICKY. THERE IS A REFLECTIVE GLARE COMING OFF THE DASHBOARD CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD WHERE THE MELTED MATERIAL HAS HARDENED. THE GLARE OF THE SHINY MATERIAL MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN DAYLIGHT. THIS HAZARD COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH TMS. *TR

I HAVE DECIDED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THE FACT THAT TOYOTA, INC. HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW IN 2006. IN 2012, I STARTED NOTICING SOME ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD. IT WAS VERY SHINY AND STICKY TO THE TOUCH. THE TEXTURE IS GUMMY AND WILL COME OFF IN YOUR FINGERNAIL IF SCRATCHED OR NICKED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA, WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP, JOE MEYERS TOYOTA, IN HOUSTON, TX. I DID THAT AND ALSO GAVE THE SERVICE MANAGER, [XXX], THE LINK TO A YOUTUBE SITE OF SOMEONE ELSE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. [XXX] TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT ISSUE BUT SAID THAT HE WOULD GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF THE COST (FOR TOYOTA'S PURPOSES) AND SOMEONE WOULD BE IN TOUCH. TOYOTA, VIA EMAIL, INFORMED ME THAT [XXX] , WHO IS THE CUSTOMER RELATIONS MANAGER, IS THE PERSON THAT I WOULD DEAL WITH AS FAR AS COMMUNICATION. WELL, I WAITED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NEVER RECEIVED A CALL SO I EMAILED [XXX] , WHO SAID THEY WERE STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM TOYOTA. [XXX] CALLED ME A WEEK LATER AND GAVE ME AN INCIDENT #. A MONTH OR SO WENT BY AND I NEVER HEARD FROM ANYONE. I CALLED [XXX] AND NEVER GOT AN ANSWER. I LEFT A COUPLE OF MESSAGES BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RETURN CALL. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AGAIN AND WAS FINALLY TOLD BY SOMEONE WITH THE CORPORATE OFFICE THAT TOYOTA'S STANCE IS THAT IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IF YOUR VEHICLE OUT OF THE 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY, IT WILL NOT BE COVERED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THE ISSUE DOESN'T OCCUR UNTIL AFTER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY IS OUT. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OR MORE OF PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE ALSO AFFECTS SAFETY DUE TO GLARING FROM THE SUN ON THE DASH AND POSSIBILITY OF AIRBAG INTERFERENCE. I HAVE ATTACHED MY YOUTUBE VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

MELTING SHINY DASHBOARD. PURCHASED VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2007, AND HAS BEEN GARAGED AND DRIVEN MINIMALLY EVER SINCE. IT'S ABOUT TO GO FOR ITS 30,000 MILE SERVICE. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WHENEVER DRIVING DURING THE DAYTIME, THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO "LIQUEFY". IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S SLATHERED IN COOKING GREASE AND IS BLINDINGLY REFLECTIVE. ON TOP OF THE GLARING VISIBILITY ISSUES, THE DASHBOARD IS BECOMING SOFT & STICKY AND WHO KNOWS WHAT KINDS OF TOXINS IT'S RELEASING. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS TOYOTA DOESN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THERE'S A PROBLEM, AND IT WILL COST $2100 TO REPLACE. TOYOTA CORPORATE HUNG UP ON ME. BY SEARCHING ONLINE, I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS, PRIMARILY IN HOT WEATHER CLIMATES, MAINLY WITH TOYOTA, LEXUS & NISSAN VEHICLES. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. A VEHICLE IS A MAJOR PURCHASE, AND YOUR CAR SHOULD NOT "MELT". EVER. I DON'T CARE HOW OLD IT IS, OUR HOW MUCH IT'S BEEN DRIVEN. THERE ARE MANY ACCOUNTS OF DEALERSHIPS QUIETLY REPLACING DASHBOARDS FOR SOME CUSTOMERS, OR DOING SO AFTER THE PRESS HAS BEEN CONTACTED. THOUGH THE MAJORITY REPORT BEING STONEWALLED, AND BEING QUOTED EXTREMELY DIVERSE RATES FOR REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. I'VE SEEN NEWS REPORTS THAT [XXX], A WEST PALM BEACH DEALERSHIP OWNER HAS SEEN SO MANY OF THESE, HE'S GONE TO THE MEDIA, AND ADMITTED THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A SAFETY HAZARD, AND TOYOTA & OTHER CAR MAKERS ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

IT APPEARS THAT DEFECTIVE MATERIALS WERE USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE FRONT DASH OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DASH IS LITERALLY MELTING. THE SURFACE HAS BECOME TACKY, SOFT AND EASILY DAMAGED BY TOUCH. THIS ISSUE IS NOW BEING DESCRIBED BY TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AS ??MELTING DASH??. THIS DETERIORATION OF THE DASH HAS ALSO CREATED AN ABNORMAL SHEEN OR GLARE WHEN IN SUNLIGHT AS HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY OTHERS. IF CHEMICAL CHANGES ARE IN FACT OCCURRING DURING THIS ABNORMAL DETERIORATION PROCESS I AM CONCERNED THAT "OFF GASING" OF HARMFUL OR TOXIC CHEMICALS MAY BE INTRODUCED IN THE CONFINED SPACE OF THE OCCUPIED VEHICLE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND HOT TEMPERATURES AND IS BEING REPORTED FROM VARIOUS SOUTHERN STATES INCLUDING FLORIDA & HAWAII.

MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WHICH WE PURCHASED IN 2007 FROM MIKE ERDMAN TOYOTA IN MERRITT ISLAND, FL. IN 2009, WHILE CLEANING THE DASHBOARD WITH A DAMP CLOTH WITH WATER, I NOTICED THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD WAS GUMMY AND STICKY. I GOOGLED INFORMATION ON THIS IN 2009, BUT THERE WASN'T A LOT OF INFORMATION ON IT BACK THEN. SINCE THEN, MY DASHBOARD HAD GOTTEN WORSE AND THERE IS A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. ON APRIL 17, 2014, I CALLED MIKE ERDMAN TOYOTA WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE SERVICE AREA REPRESENTATIVE, [XXX] TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY WERE INFORMED BY TOYOTA THAT ONLY CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BEEN "LOYAL" CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE WORK DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. I WAS APPALLED THAT SHE WOULD SAY THAT TO ME. I TOLD HER THAT I GO WHERE I WANT TO GO TO GET MY CAR SERVICED AND I FELT THAT WHAT SHE JUST SAID TO ME WAS LIKE BLACKMAIL. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A MANAGER BUT SHE SAID SHE WOULD TALK TO HIM. SHE CALLED ME BACK THE SAME DAY AND SAID THE MANAGER WOULD GIVE ME AN ANSWER TOMORROW (4/18/14). BY 5:00 ON 4/18/14 WHEN I DIDN'T GET A CALL BACK, I CALLED [XXX]. SHE SAID HER BOSS SAID THE COST OF THE JOB WOULD BE $1,652. AND THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME 20% OFF ($330.). I SAID WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR A DEFECTIVE PART? SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS DEFECTIVE. I SAID IT IS. ALL SHE HAD TO DO IS GOOGLE TOYOTA CAMRY STICKY DASHBOARDS AND SHE WILL COME UP WITH A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

CURRENTLY, I OWN TWO TOYOTAS AND IN THE PAST WAS A LOYAL CUSTOMER. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 2007 CAMRY IN JANUARY AND SUDDENLY MY SUN VISOR DROPPED DOWN TEMPORARILY BLINDING ME. I TRIED TO GET IT TO GO BACK UP, BUT IT KEPT DROPPING DOWN WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR AND THE OTHER ON THE STEERING WHEEL. CLEARLY, AS THIS WAS A MASS PRODUCED VEHICLE, I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. SO, I CALLED THE NEW TOYOTA OF CLERMONT DEALERSHIP JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOME. I ASKED FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY ASKED FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND THEN INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE TWO RECALLS, BUT NOTHING THAT COVERED THE BROKEN VISOR. I WAS VERY SURPRISED AS THE VISOR WAS FAR MORE DANGEROUS THAN EITHER OF THE OTHER ISSUES. ON FRIDAY 2/28/14, I FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE WERE A TON OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SUN VISOR AND THAT THERE WAS A "WARRANTY EXTENSION" FOR 2007 CAMRYS. I TOOK MY CAMRY OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED BY DAVID THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I HAD MISSED THE "WARRANTY EXTENSION" BY TWO WEEKS. WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT THEY HAD MISLED ME BY TELLING ME THAT THE VISOR WAS NOT COVERED WEEKS AGO, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SERVICE RECEPTIONIST WAS NOT TRAINED ON WARRANTY EXTENSIONS, ONLY ON RECALLS. I CALLED THE 800-GOTOYOTA LINE AND RECEIVED NO SUPPORT. FIRST OF ALL TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE MADE THIS A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY A PASSENGER SAFETY ISSUE. IT LITERALLY RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNDRIVEABLE. THEY USED DECEPTION IN MAKING IT A WARRANTY EXTENSION. IS THIS HOW THEY MAINTAIN A HIGH RATING FOR QUALITY. IS THIS HOW THE LIMIT THE COST OF RECALLS?

OVER THE LAST FOUR MONTHS THE PEELING ON THE DASHBOARD HAS GROWN WORSE.THE DASHBOARD NOW LOOKS SHINY AS IF OIL HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE SURFACE. WHEN TOUCHED IT FEELS STICKY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURE IN FLORIDA, AND THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA MODELS MANUFACTURE BETWEEN 2007 AND 2010 YET THEY NEVER DID A RECALL FOR THIS FACTORY DEFECT. I TALKED TO CORPORATE AND THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY HALF. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS FAIR AS IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT TOYOTA USED LOW QUALITY MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO WITHSTAND HEAT IN FLORIDA.

DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND NOW IS CRACKED OPEN. DASHBOARD COVER MATERIAL FROM WINDSHIELD TO RADIO AND ACROSS FULL WIDTH OF VEHICLE IS VERY SICKLY, CANNOT BE CLEANED WITHOUT LEAVING CLOTH LINT EMBEDDED IN THE DASH COVER MATERIAL, IS STRUCTURALLY UNSTABLE AND TOO SOFT TO TOUCH WITHOUT LEAVING DAMAGE AND WILL EASILY PEAL OFF UNDER FINGERNAILS. LIGHT REFLECTION FROM DASHBOARD IS GREATLY INCREASED AND AT TIMES DISTRACTING. NO OTHER INTERIOR PARTS IE PLASTIC, METAL, LEATHER, CARPET OR CLOTH ARE AFFECTED. *JS

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND I PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2007 THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED AUGUST 1, 2013 A FEW DAYS AFTER IT HAD EXPIRED MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP! I DO NOT HANG ANYTHING ON IT LIKE CD HOLDER OR ANYTHING. IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY BECAUSE IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN I AM DRIVING AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED SENSE THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2007 CAMRY WITH THIS SAME SITUATION AND IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR MANY CAMRY OWNERS. THE VISOR SOMETIMES EVEN HITS ME IN THE HEAD WHEN I TRY TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE AND I AM NOT VERY HAPPY THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA DOES NOT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. ALSO ON TOP OF THE VISOR MY SHOCK COIL BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID COVER SENSE IT HAPPENED BEFORE AUGUST 1ST BUT NOW THE STRUT IS LEAKING OIL ON THAT SAME SIDE, I BROUGHT IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JUNE 2013 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WON'T REPLACE IT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS LEAKING OIL IT IS NOT 100% BROKEN YET AND TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WONT COVER IT UNTIL IT COMPLETELY BLOWS! I TOLD THEM I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD THAT I HAVE TO THINK OF THIS SAFETY ALONG WITH MINE AND WAS SHOCKED THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS LEAKING OIL (WHICH IS NOT GOOD) CAUSE AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING IT CAN BUST THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT, ITS NOT LIKE IT WILL HEAL ON ITS OWN SO I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER MY WARRANTY THAT I PAID ALMOST $1000.00 FOR WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR! I HOPE TOYOTA WILL RECALL THE VISOR ISSUE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. I AM GOING TO CONTACT TOYOTA DIRECTLY ON MONDAY TO SEE IF I CAN GET ANYWHERE WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A GEN6 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH A DASH THAT HAS BEEN GETTING STICKY AND SEEMS TO BE MELTING. THIS HAS BEEN SLOWLY GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN CLEANED WITH CHEMICALS OTHER THAN SOAP AND WATER. THE DASH CLOSEST TO THE WINDOW HAS BECOME 'GLOSSY' TO THE POINT OF CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES AND REFLECTION OF EXTERIOR LIGHTING. I HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB EXTENSIVELY AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO 'ONE' ANSWER. SOME DEALERS ARE REPLACING DASH, SOME ARE OFFERING TO COVER MATERIALS AND SOME ONLY OFFERING 10-20% DISCOUNTS. CAN YOU CONTACT ME OR REFER ME TO THE PROPER DEPARTMENT TO SUBMIT A CLAIM FOR A REPLACEMENT.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD IS ALWAYS IN A LIQUID STATE AND THE REST OF THE DASHBOARD IS SOFT.

ALSO ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD THE OUTLINE OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT CAN BE SEEN. I BELIEVE THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD IS A HAZARD AND DUE TO THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE DASHBOARD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. THE DASHBOARD HAS NOT BEEN TREATED WITH CHEMICALS THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLEANED WITH A WET WASH CLOTH. *TR

UPON ENDING THE CALL I EXITED THE CAR TO ENSURE IT WAS PARKED PROPERLY BETWEEN THE LINES AND CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE WALL IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE. I THEN RETRIEVED MY LAPTOP BAG, COAT AND HAT FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE BACKSEAT. I PUT MY COAT ON CLOSED IT UP, PUT ON MY HAT AND EXTENDED THE ARM ON MY LAPTOP BAG. I THEN CLOSED THE BACK DOOR AND TURNED TO RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE FRONT SEAT AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. AS I TURNED TO RETURN TO RETURN TO THE FRONT SEAT DOOR THE CAR FLEW OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. AS THE CAR PASSED ME AND THE CAR BESIDE ME THE FRONT DOOR SWUNG COMPLETELY OPEN. I RAN AND CHASED THE CAR FOR FEAR IT MIGHT HIT SOMEONE AND ALSO ASSUMING I DID NOT PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. UPON JUMPING INTO THE MOVING CAR THE FIRST THING THAT HIT ME WAS THE BRIGHT "P" LIT UP ON THE DASH INDICATING THE CAR WAS ALREADY IN PARK. I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND ALSO CONSTANTLY PUSHING THE GEAR UP. FINALLY BOTH MY ACTIONS AND THE CARS ACCELERATION WERE STOPPED BY THE SLAMMING OF THE CAR INTO A CEMENT WALL.

AT 45 MILES AN HOUR YOUR EARS CLOSE UP LIKE YOU'RE ON A JET PLANE AND BECOME PAINFUL. TOYOTA DID TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME AND THEY SAY THE NOISE IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR.

AFTER I HAD CLEARED THE PARKING SPACE AND BEFORE I COULD EXCHANGE GEARS, THE CAR (2007 TOYOTA CAMRY) KEPT ON REVERSING. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP.

WHEN THE POLICE OFFICER APPROACHED MY CAR HE STATED THAT "I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO HIT ME." I REPLIED BY SAYING "MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP; I COULD STOP THE CAR." I INFORMED THE POLICE OFFICER THAT WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE POLICE REPORT INDICATES THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION.

OF COURSE I DID, WHO WANTS THE EXHAUST PIPE TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE GAS TANK? I PAID THE $153.81 TO HAVE THE HEAT SHIELD PROBLEM FIXED, AND ASKED WHY AN IMPORTANT PART LIKE THAT HAD FAILED AFTER ONLY 37,000 MILES? THEY TOLD ME IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER AND THE SNOW AND THE RUST. MY PROBLEM REMAINS - WHY A FAILURE ON A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PART AFTER ONLY 37,000 MILES? AT LEAST A THIRD OF TOYOTA'S SALES HAVE TO BE IN PLACES WHERE THERE'S SNOW. APPEARS THEY'RE USING CHEAP PARTS IN CRITICAL PLACES WHICH COULD CAUSE DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES.

IT FLEW OFF WITH HARDLY ANY FORCE FROM THE CAR WASH AS THOUGH IT WAS NOT EVEN ATTACHED. ONE COULD NOW SEE THE GREY PRIMER THAT WAS BELOW THE BLACK PAINT, AS THE PRIMER REMAINED INTACT. THE BLACK EXTERIOR PAINT PEELED RIGHT OFF THE CAR. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY, I TOOK THE CAR TO DENNISON TOYOTA TO BE REPAIRED. THEIR EMPLOYEE SAID TO BRING THE CAR BACK WHEN THE TOYOTA'S REGIONAL PAINT WARRANTY EXPERT WAS IN TOWN, SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. AFTER DOING THIS, I WAS VERY SADDENED TO LEARN THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT REPAIR THE FAULTY PAINT BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN REPAINTED ALREADY AND THEY WOULD ONLY WARRANT, THEIR OWN PAINT. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN REPAINTED BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE NOW VISIBLE PRIMER COLOR WAS NOT THE COLOR THEY USED. THEY SAID THEY USED A BLACK PRIMER BUT THIS WAS A LIGHTER GREY. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH ONLY 22K MILES, SO I KNEW IT HAD NOT BEEN REPAINTED AS THE CARFAX WAS CLEAN, AND THE GREY PRIMER WAS VISIBLE UNDER VARIOUS SCRATCHES IN THE PAINT ON ALL SIDES OF THE CAR. WHY ON EARTH WOULD SOMEONE STRIP AND REPRIME THE ENTIRE CAR? DISGRUNTLED, I EMAILED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. TODAY, THEY GOT BACK TO ME AND CONFIRMED THE PRIMER COLOR SHOULD BE A LIGHT GREY, NOT BLACK INDICATED BY THE REGIONAL PAINT EXPERT. THEY APOLOGIZED FOR NOT TRAINING THEIR PEOPLE BETTER. SO I CALLED MY DEALER AGAIN AND HE IS STILL VERY SQUIRMY SAYING THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE CAN DO. I TOLD HIM THAT SINCE THE PREMISE OF THE REGIONAL PAINT EXPERTS REFUSAL TO REPAIR THE PAINT WAS FALSE, THE CAR SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY SINCE IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER'S PAINT THAT FAILED BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. WE SHALL SEE WHAT THEY SAY. *TR

WE OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND HAVE GONE TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL TAKING CARE OF. AND TO OUR SURPRISE OUR GAS PEDAL WAS CUT TO A SIZE MUCH SMALLER THAN ITS ORIGINAL VERSION. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THIS SOLUTION FOR THIS RECALL, NOR HAVE SEEN ANYTHING ON THE MEDIA THAT STATES THIS IS WHAT IS BEING DONE FOR A SOLUTION. THE GAS PEDAL IN THIS FORMAT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND MY FOOT DOES NOT SIT PROPERLY ON THE PEDAL AS IT SHOULD AND DID BEFORE THIS ADJUSTMENT. WE FEEL THAT A NEW GAS PEDAL SHOULD BE INSTALLED. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND SHOULD BE ENTITLED TO NEW PARTS FOR RECALLED ITEMS, NOT DAMAGED ITEMS IN A NEW VEHICLE. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THIS MATTER OR ADDRESS TOYOTA CORP REGARDING THIS SOLUTION? *TR

AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS JACKED UP, AND HE BEGAN CHANGING THE TIRE, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LEAN AND THEN FELL OFF THE JACK AND THE VEHICLE FELL TO THE GROUND. THE CONSUMER STATED THE JACK WAS NOT THE PROBLEM, IT WAS THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE THAT WAS TOO WEAK. UPDATED 04/01/10 *BF UPDATED 07/06/10*JB

2007 CAMRY XLE. PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE DEALERSHIP JUST BLEW ME OFF WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. ACTED AS IF THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS. ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STEERING COLUMN'S RADIO CONTROLS - WHEN PRESSING THE APPROPRIATE BUTTONS, NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN OR, WHEN SEEKING STATIONS THAT WERE PROGRAMMED IN, THE DOWN OR UP BUTTONS WOULD JUMP TO OTHER STATIONS NOT PROGRAMMED. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS ERRATIC, NOTHING WAS DONE BY DEALER. PROBLEMS WITH THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE - AT TIMES, IT WOULD TAKE 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE THE TEMPERATURE WOULD CHANGE TO THE CORRECT ONE. EXAMPLE: IT READ 77 DEGREES WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE MID-90S. DEALERSHIP DID REPAIR THIS LAST SUMMER BUT NOW, IT IS READING SEVEN+ DEGREES OFF THE ACTUAL OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE. THE FINAL PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR IS THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF OF THE FRAME AREA BELOW THE DOORS OF THE CAR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY PREVIOUS CAR I HAVE OWNED. DEALER ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE FACT THAT THIS CAR IS THE SPORT VERSION SO IT RIDES LOWER. FIRST TOYOTA I HAVE OWNED AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE MY LAST. *TR

TOYOTAS LATEST RECALL SHOULD NOT BE A FLOOR MAT OR STUCK ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. MY 2007 CAMRY HAS EXPERIENCED THIS SCENERIO AT LEAST SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR (EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT EXISTS). THE PROBLEM IS THE DESIGN OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL (WHEN BRAKING) IS CLOSER TO THE FLOOR THAN THE HEIGHT OF THE UN-DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR PEDEL. IF THE DRIVER HAS BIG FEET OR IS NOT PRECISE WHEN PLACING THE FOOT, IT IS POSSIBLE TO DEPRESS BOTH PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME. THE HARDER ONE TRIES TO STOP, THE FASTER THE ENGINE WANTS TO RUN. IN MY VEHICLES FROM THE PAST, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WHEN NOT DEPRESSED, WAS CLOSER TO THE FLOOR THAN THE POSITION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL DURING A VERY HARD (EMERGENCY) BRAKING ACTION. TOYOTA'S FIRMWARE FIX OF NOT ALLOWING THE ACCELERATOR SIGNAL TO OVERRIDE THE BRAKING SIGNAL IS NOT A GOOD FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES IT IS DESIRABLE TO INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE ENGINE BEFORE RELEASING THE BRAKE TO PROVENT ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN STARTING ON A GRADE. PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ERGONOMICS OF HOW THE PEDALS AND THE HUMAN DRIVER INTERFACE AND PROPER ENGINEERING DESIGN IS THE SOLUTION. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN MARCH 2006. THIS NEW VEHICLE HAD SEVERAL DEFECTS INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF A DASH BY THE DEALER AFTER DELIVERY. THE QUALITY OF THE BRAKE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE UNSATISFACTORY. I HAVE HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 46,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD TWO INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS EVALUATE THE FACTORY ROTORS AND THEY BOTH COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION, POOR QUALITY ROTORS. IT'S NOT HOW THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED SINCE WE ARE NOT CAUSING ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THESE ROTORS TO WARP THE WAY THEY DO. WE DO NOT DRIVE OUR VEHICLES HARD, JUST TO CAUSE MORE MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. TOYOTA HAS PAID FOR REPLACING THE ROTORS ONCE. THEY HAVE ALSO CHARGED ME TWICE FOR THE SAME WORK AND I HAVE PAID TWICE TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP. I TRIED TO FILE A COMPLAINT THROUGH TOYOTA AND THAT WAS USELESS. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A TOYOTA VEHICLE AGAIN. REAL SAD HOW THEY WERE HANDLING MY COMPLAINT. *TR

VEHICLE INFORMATION: 2007 CAMRY SE V6 PURCHASED IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA IN SEP 2007 ? VEHICLE MANUFACTURING DATE AUG 29, 2007. DEFICIENCIES: 1) HESITATION THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION (EVEN WITH FULL THROTTLE) AFTER DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (STOP AND GO) OR DRIVING VERY PASSIVELY. THIS SYMPTOM IS CONSISTENCE AND HESITATION IS LONG AND COMMON IS 80 KLM SPEED. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DOWN SHIFT AT ALL. CHANGE MY DEALER AFTER REPORTING IT TWICE WITH NO ACTION. NEW DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND HAS REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION CHIP AS PER TSB. (WILL PICK UP THE VEHICLE TODAY) 2) CRACKLING NOISE FROM CONTROL ARE AND DASHBOARD NEXT TO WINDSHIELD DURING ENTIRE COLD SEASON. NOISES APPEAR EVERY FEW SECOND. OVER 90% OF THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS DURING WARMER WEATHER. CHANGE MY DEALER AFTER REPORTING IT TWICE WITH NO ACTION. NEW DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND HAS ADDED ADDITIONAL INSULATION AS PER TSB TO CONTROL AREA ONLY. THE DASHBOARD NOISE NEXT TO WINDSHIELD COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. I HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO DEALER DURING WINTER MONTH TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BEFORE ANY ACTION IS TAKEN. 3) THUMPING NOISE FROM REAR END OF THE VEHICLE ON BUMPS (LIKE A LOSE WATERMELON IN YOUR TRUNK). AGAIN, FIRST DEALER DID NOTHING. NEW DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND HAS ADDED ADDITIONAL INSULATION TO STRUTS AS PER TSB, 4) HIGH REVVING AND TRANSMISSION NOT IN GEAR IN SUDDEN ACCELERATION. SIMILAR RESPONSE AS YOU ARE DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND YOU CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE WHILE CHANGING GEAR. NEW DEALER SUGGEST THAT THE REPROGRAMMING SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS. *TR

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 CAMRY ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED OR "LOW SPEED" POSITION. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER REPLACED DUE TO A ROCK COMING THROUGH THE GRILL OF THE CAR AND "PUNCTURING THE CONDENSER. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALER IN SLIDELL, LA AS I WAS OUT OF TOWN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CONDENSER FOR $625.00 AT MY EXPENSE. I WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO "SCREENS" OR ANY TYPE OF MATERIALS THAT COULD KEEP THIS FROM OCCURRING AGAIN. THERE IS HOWEVER A TSB FOR THE SAME THING ON THE 2007 COROLLA. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA HAS A FLAW IN THE GRILL OF THE 2007 CAMRY AND IT SHOULD BE REMEDIED. ON THE ISSUE OF ACCELERATION, I LIVE IN A CONGESTED TRAFFIC AREA IN FL AND DO NOT FEEL THAT I CAN SAFELY "PULL OUT" INTO TRAFFIC UNLESS I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF CLEARANCE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. I AM AN AVID FAN OF TOYOTA PRODUCTS. THIS IS MY 3RD CAMRY AND I OWNED A SCION TC AS WELL SO THIS IS NOT ABOUT DOWNING A TOYOTA PRODUCT. I BELIEVE IN TOYOTA. I JUST THINK NOW IS THE TIME TO RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM AND REMEDY THAT FOR THE CONSUMER. I WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE THEY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MADE FOR ANYONE OF SMALL STATURE. THE VEHICLE PRESENTED NO VISIBILITY BEYOND THE FRONT WINDOW WHEN THE SEAT WAS ADJUSTED TO ALLOW THE CONTACT TO REACH THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE SEAT BELT TO CUT ACROSS THE NECK OF THE CONTACT, RUBBING IT RAW. THE REAR WINDOW HAD A CONSTANT REFLECTIVE HAZE WHICH, WHEN COUPLED WITH THE OVERSIZED HEAD RESTS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, OBSCURED THE REAR VIEW OF THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE THE DEALER OFFERED NO RESOLUTION. THE DEALER DETERMINED DUE TO THE CONTACT'S STATURE, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE.*AK UPDATED 8/14/2006 - *NM
