2008 TOYOTA CAMRY Unknown Or Other Problems

We took ownership of the vehicle in March 2025. It wasn’t until then when we finally attempted driving it that I realized the dashboard had begun melting. It is shiny and sticky. The Camry was owned by my wife’s elderly parents. Her father was disabled and had stopped driving the car before passing and her mother has dementia. Neither of them were aware of the dashboard recall program or the warranty extension that ended in 2017. Had her father and mother notified us of the problem we would have had it taken care of under the time limit, but they didn't. They purchased it new and the vehicle was mostly garaged, with only 37,000 miles to date most of which were in the first 2 years they owned it. The melting dashboard creates dangerous glare reflecting onto the windshield making it difficult to see. This poses a significant safety hazard when driving on a sunny day, not only to us but to those driving near us, risking a multi-car accident. We have had several close calls while driving this car. This situation has placed us in a difficult position. I am [XXX] and [XXX], we rely on this vehicle for regular transportation to [XXX] and medical appointments. We live on a fixed income and are unable to afford the cost of dashboard replacement. Given these circumstances and the fact that we only recently became aware of the issue we want Toyota to do the right thing and replace the dashboard as they committed to do.

ABS/VSC actuator pump failure and with the abs alarm on causing constant drain to the system needing jump every time or to disconnect 12v every time parked. Dealer diagnosed wrong last year stating 12v battery needed replacement. I did the $500. It did NOT fix the problem. Now dealer states actuator pump failure - replace/fix price approx $4,000. I asked for diagnostic readouts to prove to me that they have it right this time. (I'm over 50 hours into this ABS failure) he refused and would not agree to refund my money if I would go ahead with their advised repair. My car has only 116,000 miles on it! I've checked around & it seems that my model should be part of recall/repair. I've gotten nothing written from Toyota when I have inquired in writing. Extremely dangerous, this failure!

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING THUS CAUSING A GLARE WHICH AFFECTS VISABILITY WHEN DRIVING

Visors fall out and will not stay secured, allowing for sun to grt into eyes while driving. This is compounded by the fact that the dashboard is melting and very shiny. Common problems with this year and model. Recommend Toyota replace.

2008 Toyota Camry dashboard melting Toyota advised CSP letter sent 2011. I did not receive letter. Toyota advised CSP extended until 2017. I was not advised by dealership. 2021 dashboard started getting sticky. I was advised that Toyota cannot replace as after the CSP. If my dashboard would have melted between 2011 and 2017, I would have contacted Toyota. I am not able to pay the 2600 for a new dashboard. Toyota should have not put a dashboard into a vehicle that melts and causes a glare and noxious odor. I am looking for any assistance to help get this fixed by Toyota at no cost to myself. Texas has 103 to 110 degree heat this year. Thank you

THE DASH HAS MELTED ON THE DRIVER SIDE CAUSING A BLIND SPOT IN THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING OBSTRUCTED VIEW WHILE DRIVING

I have a very sticky dashboard which reflects a strong glare and blind my drive view very bad sometimes. I have encountered several cases in which I almost missed traffic lights and stop sign. It puts my in very dangerous driving. I called my Toyota dealer and was told that it will cost over $1500 to replace it. I wonder why Toyota didn't issue a recall on this issue.

Sticky dashboard creating glare on windshield.

My dash on my Toyota Camry has become sticky and shiny with a chemical smell. The visibility is blinding from a glare in bright days and also night driving makes visibility difficult. The chemical cannot be cleaned off and nothing helps with the glare the dash is causing

my vehicle dashpad has suddenly begun to slowly melt and has become very sticky and shinny, the shininess causes a constant glare on the windshield, making it difficult and dangerous to drive especially during daylight hrs. I learned that there was a recall for this issues and contacted Toyota on 5/24/2021, and was told the recall for this issue expired in 2017, and there is nothing they will do for it now. I like to express that i purchased my vehicle in April of 2016, and was never notified of the recall, Toyota never sent me a letter informing me of the issue and i have taken my vehicle several time to the Dealer for other repair/maintenance prior to 2017 and was not informed of the recall by by them during that time. My case # with Toyota is 210524000564. i have searched the internet and also found that is a concerned issued with many other Toyota car owners. My vehicle is a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid.

MY DASHBOARD IS BECOMING EXTREMELY STICKY. IT'S BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT'S SUNNY OUT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. HAS A LAWSUIT BEEN FILED YET FOR THIS MANUFACTURER MISTAKE?

I DELIVERED THE FORM LETTER FROM TOYOTA REPORTING THAT I SHOULD HAVE MY DASHBOARD REPLACED, I TOOK THE LETTER TO TOYOTA OF RICHARDSON AND WAS TOLD THE PART WOULD BE ORDERED AND I WOULD BE CALLED. I WAS NEVER CALLED, I HAVE TRIED EVERY 3 MONTHS TO RESOLVE THIS AND HAVE THE DASH REPLACED BUT NO ONE WILL RETURN MY REQUEST AND IT HAS BEEN OVER 3 YEARS NOW. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR SERVICE DEPT, SERVICE MANAGERS, AND GM OVER THE YEARS WITHOUT ANY CALL BACK

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE ON A SUNNY DAY. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 4 YEARS AS IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I WAS WONDERING HOW I CAN GET THE SITUATION FIXED AS IT IS BECOMING DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE . WHAT ARE MY NEXT STEPS AS THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. WHERE CAN I GET IT FIXED AND HOW CAN I GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED?

EARLIER THIS YEAR I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE DASHBOARD OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2008 HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T CLEAN IT. BUT AS I TRIED TO WIPE AND CLEAN, IT GOT WORSE BECAUSE OF THE STICKINESS. IT WAS ONLY AFTER I LOOKED IT UP ON GOOGLE THAT I LEARNED THAT DASHBOARDS SHOULD NEVER BECOME STICKY AND SHINY IN THE FIRST PLACE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT MY CAR BEING ONE OF THOSE MODELS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE.

THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY IS THAT THE DASH IS MELTING LEAVING A VERY SHINNY LOOK TO IT. WHEN THE SUN HITS IT REFLECTS OFF THE GLASS MAKING IT DIFFUCULT TO SEE. AT NIGHT THE STREET LIGHTS AND ON COMMING TRAFFICE TIGHS ALSO REFLECT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. PLUS ITS VERY STICKY AND EVEYTHING THAT FLYS BY DUST LINT HAIR WILL STICK TO MY DASH, VERY UNAPPEALING AND DIRTY.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IS CREATING A VERY BAD GLARE IN SUNLIGHT OR DAYTIME OPERATIONS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT'S EXPIRED NOW.

CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND USE WINDSHIELD COVER WHEN LOCATED OUTSIDE. NOTICED THE DASH WAS VERY STICKY AND SHINY AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE. CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT THEY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT MY CAR WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY OR BY THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I FILE A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA WHO SAID THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE. I GOT A CALL TODAY STATING THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE VEHICLE. DON'Y KNOW WHY THEY WON'T FIX IT SINCE IT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THEY GLARE OFF THE DASH IS SO BAD THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. IT'S A REAL SAFETY CONCERN.

STICKY DASHBOARD WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF WINDOW DUE TO GLARE FOR A FEW YEAR NOW. I DON'T REMEMBER GETTING ANY NOTIFICATIONS FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE.IT HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE YEARS. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECOURSE AS THE WARRANTY ENDED AT THE END OF 2017. I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WITH OTHER RECALLS INCLUDING THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SUN VISORS WHERE THEY CLAIM IT ISN'T A PROBLEM. TOYOTA CASE # [XXX].

THE DASH HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. NOT ONLY IS THIS BOTHERSOME AS I CAN NOT LAY ANYTHING ON IT WITHOUT IT STICKING SUCH AS PARKING PASSES AND SUCH NOR CAN I USE A SIN VISOR BECAUSE PART OF IT STUCK TO THE DASH BUT IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE.

MELTING DASH BOARD

THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE ON THE DRIVE WAY AND AT 4AM ON 12/4/19 WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO WORK I REALIZED THE DASHBOARD HAD EXPLODED. NO SIGNS OF A BREAK IN BECAUSE THE CAR WAS LOCKED. I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES SINCE I GOT THIS CAR AND OUT OF A SUDDEN THE DASHBOARD JUST EXPLODES. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING? I AM CONCERN ABOUT ALL OTHER OWNERS OF SAME YEAR AND MODEL WHO ARE AT RISK OF SUCH EXPLOSION.

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY WILL COLLECT DUST AND DEBRIS, GOTTEN SO SHINY THAT THERE IS A GLARE AND MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE REFLECTION OF THE SHINE ON THE WINDOW. BOUGHT 2014 AND DIDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE DIDN'T EVEN GET THE WARRANTY NOTICE ABOUT THE DASH. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND AFRAID IT'S MAKING OUR DRIVES DANGEROUS

THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAR MELTED DOWN WITH MANY SMALL DIGS DUE TO IT. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR A LONG TIME BUT NOW IT BUILT UP TO CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH WHAT THE DASHBOARD IS MADE OUT OF.

I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO MY DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING AND BECAME STICKY. THE STICKY RESIDUE THAT LEFT BEHIND CREATES A GLARE WHEN THE SUN HITS IT AND IT BECOME DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. WHAT STARTED OUT AS A SMALL AREA ON THE DASHBOARD HAS NOW BECOME MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD. WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA, THEY SAID THE RECALL AND WARRANTY TO GET THIS FIXED IS EXPIRED AND THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. I WAS HOPING TO PURCHASE A NEW CAMRY NEXT YEAR BUT WITH THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THIS SITUATION, ITS NOT LIKELY THAT I WILL.

THE DASHBOARD AND SUN VISOR ARE MELTING. THE MELTED DASHBOARD IS GOOEY, DUST, DEBRIS, AND ANY INSECT LYING THERE GETS STUCK. THE MELTED DASHBOARD, DUST, DEBRIS, AND INSECTS REFLECT ON THE WINDSHIELD AND CREATE GLARE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. TOYOTA RESPONSE WAS THAT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE MELTING DASHBOARD EXPIRED IN 2017 AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE MELTING DASHBOARD. WE PROTECTED OUR DASHBOARD FROM SUN WITH A WINDSHIELD SUN SCREEN ALWAYS, SO THE PROBLEM TOOK LONGER TO OCCUR. THE SUN VISORS PLASTIC COMPONENTS MELTED AND SUN VISOR FELL OFF THE METAL SUPPORT. UNDER SUN AND GLARE HAVE TO USE HAND TO BLOCK UNMAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER CAR OR SEE ROAD. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE WAS TO BUY NEW SUN VISORS.

DASHBOARD IS BECOMING EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY. NOTHING WIPES IT OFF, AND ITS WORSE IN WARMER WEATHER. ITS SHININESS IS BECOMING DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. I'M WORRIED ABOUT THIS SPREADING TO OTHER PARTS CONNECTED TO THE DASHBOARD, LIKE AC AND AIRBAGS. CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WAS UP AND IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO GET IT FIXED. AS THE SECOND OWNER (BOUGHT IT USED), I WAS NEVER GIVEN ANY NOTICE OF COMPLETE COVERAGE OR REPAIRS. NO EMAILS OR LETTERS.

MY DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY LAST YEAR. I HAVE DONE WHAT I CAN TO PROPERLY CLEAN IT BUT IT KEPT GETTING WORSE. NOW, I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH IT WITHOUT PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD COMING APART. ITEMS LIKE LINT AND DUST STICK TO IT. IN ADDITION, THE DASHBOARD BECOMES INCREDIBLY SHINY AT NIGHT WITH A TERRIBLE GLARE THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE A VOLUNTARY RECALL EXPIRED IN 2017. I NEVER RECEIVED THAT NOTICE AND WAS NOT CONTACTED.

THE STICKINESS OF THE DASHBOARD, AND THE SHINY/REFLECTIVE SURFACE THE DASHBOARD CREATES, AS A SAFETY HARZARD.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND MEATY AND I'VE BEEN CALLING EVERY TOYOTA BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS A RECALL AND THEY BEEN TELLING ME THAT THEY CAN'T HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM THEY SAID THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT 1,500$ I WILL GET ON CONTACT WITH THE TV NEWS AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH TOYOTA I REALLY LOVE TOYOTA BUT AT THIS POINT I'M REALLY UPSET WITH THIS.

EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING, I DO HAVE HIGH MILEAGE; ODOMETER AT OIL CHANGE AT HENDRIX TOYOTA ON FEBRUARY 11, 2019 WAS 195,562. TODAY FEBRUARY 28, 2019 MY ODOMETER IS AT 196,162. I NOW HAVE TO ADD MORE OIL TO MY CAR TODAY, WHEN ONLY 17 DAYS AGO 5 QUARTS WAS ADDED. I A AFRAID THAT I MAY NOT CATCH IT IN TIME TO ADD OIL, AND THE ENGINE WOULD LOCK UP. THE OIL IS REALLY BURNING TOO FAST.

ABS LIGHTS COMES ON, BRAKES LIGHTS COME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE MILAGE HAND STOP WORKING AND THE AIR WONT GET COLD WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND BECOME STICKY AND HIGHLY REFLECTIVE. WHEN DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT IT REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND OBSCURES VISION. WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA THAT IT COULD BE REPLACED, BUT ONLY BY A CERTAIN DATE. THIS HAS BECOME A HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD. NOTHING REMOVES THE STICKINESS AND THE REFLECTION.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING, AND IN THE PROCESS BECOMING STICKY AND SHINY. THE STICKINESS IS A NUISANCE, BUT THE SHININESS IS A HAZARD AS IT PROMOTES HEAVY GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT MAKES ME ON A SUNNY DAY THEY CAN LOSE SIGHT OF THE ROAD, I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR DUE TO THE VISIBILITY. THIS IS ON THE NEWS, INTERNET. I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT ENHANCEMENT WARRANTY AND EVEN WHEN I CHECK WITH TOYOTA DEALER THEY SAID IT HAS NO RECALLS. NOW TOYOTA SAID MY CAR OUT OF WARRANTY 7 MPNTHS AGO, AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

Mileage: 96,000

THE PROBLEM STARTED IN MY VEHICLE LAST SUMMER, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THER EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DATE I ENTERED WAS THE DATE I CONTACTED TOYOTA AS I FOUND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE USED AND WENT TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER ASKING IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT, AS I NEEDED AN EXTRA KEY MADE AND I INQUIRED WHY I WAS THERE. I WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS, NO RECALLS. I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD GETTING STICKY THE SUMMER OF 2017, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE CLEANER I USED ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS SUMMER WAS EVEN HOTTER AND THE FINISH ON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN PEELING, CRACKING, BECOMING SHINEY, AND VERY VERY STICKY TO TOUCH. SO I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH. I TYPED IN "HOW TO CLEAN A STICKY DASHBOARD" AND GUESS WHAT POPPED UP, TOYOTA CAMRY'S PROBLEMS WITH A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. THEY DIDN'T RECALL IT EVEN THOUGH IT COVERED SEVERAL YEARS, INSTEAD THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. I BOUGHT MY CAR USED. I CHECK WITH A LOCAL DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD NO ISSUES. I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY, AND, I'M SOL AS THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AS OF 11/2017. IF I HAD KNOWN I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IT REPLACED. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION THE DEFECTIVE VISORS, WHICH I REPLACED AT MY COST AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE FALL DOWN W/O WARNING AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. LETS NOT FORGET THE OIL BURNING ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS FROM 2005-2011 IS RIDDLED WITH PROBLEMS AND TOYOTA IS LEAVING THOSE OF US WHO PURCHASE USED VEHICLES OUT IN THE COLD. I'LL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN IF THIS IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY PROVIDE TO CUSTOMERS.

WITHIN THE LAST MONTH I AND OTHER SUCH AS MECHANIC, BODY SHOP OPERATORS HAVE NOTICED STICKY AND GOOEY DASHBOARD, MELTING AND VERY SOFT, ESPECIALLY IN THE HOT AND HUMID WEATHER. HAVE ALSO NOTICED A GLARE ON DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN ALSO PUT YOUR FINGERNAIL THOROUGH PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD, VERY STICKY AND SOFT. CONTACTED TOYOTA AT 800.331.4331 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT EXPIRED MARCH 2018 AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED . I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD TILL THIS LAST MONTH AND WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES CONCERNING THIS PART OF THE CAR. NOR DID I RECEIVE ANYTHING WHICH STATED THERE WAS ANYTHING GOING ON WITH THE DASHBOARD FOR THIS MAKE OR MODEL.

DASHBOARDS CAN BECOME CRACKED AND/OR STICKY/MELTED OVER TIME. TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION ON THIS ISSUE WHICH EXPIRED JANUARY 2, 2018. MY 2008 CAMRY DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL MAY 2018. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AS THE STICKY/MELTED DASH ACTS AS A MIRROR REFLECTING ANY LIGHT INTO THE DRIVERS FACE. IT IS ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS IN NIGHT DRIVING WHEN STREET LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS GLARE INTO THE DRIVERS FACE REDUCING VISIBILITY CONSIDERABLY. IF THERE ARE BOTH STREET LIGHTS AND ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS THERE IS NO VISIBILITY. IT ACTS LIKE A MIRROR ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.

I HAVE A MELTING DASHBOARD THAT INTERFERES WITH MY VISION ON THE ROAD. MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND IT'S CRACKING AND IT MAKES THE CAR LESS ATTRACTIVE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE A RECALL ALREADY HAPPENED AND IT'S EXPIRED WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY NOTICE OF A RECALL. NOW ALL I ASK IS THAT THERE BE ANOTHER RECALL OR AT LEAST REPAIR THIS BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY BEEN TIMES WHERE I ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THIS AND ONE DAY I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IF THIS DOESN'T GET REPAIRED.

Mileage: 59,000

MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SHINY. I HAVE TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO CLEAN IT, AND IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY THE STICKY/ SHINY SURFACE CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. I LEARNED EARLIER TODAY THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY CAR REGARDING THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THERE WAS AN EXPIRATION DATE TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED WHICH HAS ALREADY PASSED. THEREFORE IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS FIXED I WILL HAVE TO PAY $1700 OUT OF POCKET. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND ITS RIDICULOUS THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX A DEFECT THAT IS NO FAULT OF MY OWN, BUT IS THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE, IF I HAD I WOULD OF HAD IT REPLACED ACCORDINGLY. THIS DASH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CANNOT PROPERLY SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE SHOULD NOT BE AN EXPIRATION DATE ON FIXING A SAFETY ISSUE!

INTERIOR VISORS BROKEN AND WON'T STAY UP AND KEEP FALLING INTO THE LINE OF SIGHT IMPAIRING VISION.

DUE TO THE TOYOTA STICKY DASH PROBLEM CAUSED BY MATERIAL DEGRADATION, I AM EXPERIENCING A SAFETY SITUATION WHEN SUNLIGHT PRODUCES A GLARE OFF THE SHINY DASH SURFACE. THE GLARE IS AT ITS WORST WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. UPON CALLING TOYOTA, THEY STATED THAT THEIR VOLUNTARY WARRANTY EXTENSION PERIOD HAS ENDED AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME.

WE GOT A RECALL ON DASH , TOOK IT IN AT THE TIME JAY WOLF TOYOTA ,WAS TOLD DASH NOT BAD ENOUGH TO FIX. TOOK IN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER OFF 2017 SHOWING THEM THE DASH! THEY SAID THEY WILL FIX ! ONLY TO BE TOLD WE WHERE A MONTH OR TWO LATE..I CALLED AND COMPLAINED TO THERE MAIN OFFICE TELLING THEM OF MY COMPLAINT THEY BLAMED THE DEALER SHIP FOR NOT SHOWING WE TOOK IN A COUPLE YEARS EARLIER,.THE CAR IS A 2008 RECALL IS UP TO 2018 , THERE SAYING WE BOUGHT IT IN THE FALL OF 2007, SO WE ARE PAST TIME FRAME! MY COMPLAINT THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT A COUPLE YEARS EARLIER WHEN THEY TOLD US THE DASH WASN'T BAD ENOUGH AT THAT TIME, WE BOUGHT AND USED JAY WOLF TOYOTA AT THAT TIME, WE QUIT GOING TO THEM BECAUSE OF THERE MECHANICS , AND THEY WENT THROUGH SEVERAL MANAGERS SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. WE ONLY HAVE 61000 MILES ON CAR,PLEASE GET BACK WITH ME ON ISSUE

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS MELTING AND HAS BECOME VERY SHINY CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT PARTIALLY OBSCURES THE VIEW OF THE ROAD, PARTICULARLY WHEN THERE IS BRIGHT SUNSHINE. TOYOTA ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGES THE SAFETY ISSUE AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE DASHBOARD TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR (PURCHASED NEW) DID NOT EXHIBIT THE MELTING ISSUE UNTIL AFTER WE MOVED IT FROM NORTHERN STATES, MD AND MI TO FL STARTING IN JAN 2016. THE FAILURE ONLY APPARENT AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR 10 YEARS EXPIRED IN OCT 2017. THE REFLECTION OF THE DASHBOARD UPPER SURFACE ON WINDOW IS HIGHLY DISTRACTING AND SIGNIFICANTLY OBSCURES VISION OF THE ROAD.

DASH BOARD HAS A STICKY FILM ON IT AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION ON JANUARY 27, 2018 WITH A JEEP RANGER IN MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY EXIT ROAD, THE POSTED SPEED WAS 65MPH AND HAD NO TIME TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT. AFTER MAKING CONTACT WITH THE JEEP MY CAR THEN WENT INTO A FENCE. THE AIR BAGS IN MY CAMRY NEVER DEPLOYED. AND I HAVE SUFFERED FROM INJURIES AND SIGNIFICANT MEDIAL BILLS AS A RESULT OF THE AIR BAGS FAILURE TO DEPLOY.

WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR, THE PASSENGER SUNVISOR WOULDN'T STAY UP. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS ABOUT A $500-$600 PART & HE WASN'T GOING TO PAY TO FIX IT. BEING THAT I NEVER SAT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE IT DID NOT BOTHER ME. THERE WAS HOWEVER A RECALL ON THIS PART, & AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO ORDER THE PART & SCHEDULE TO GET THIS FIXED BY THE TIME ALLOTMENT THEY HAD PLACED. SO, MY ACTUAL COMPLAINT IS THAT THEY PLACED A TIME ALLOTMENT. BECAUSE, AFTER THAT TIME ALLOTMENT EXPIRED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT HOW USEFUL A SUN VISOR TRULY IS, UNTIL YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO USE IT. IT'S INSTALLED FOR A REASON, NOT TO BE SOMETHING FANCY IN A CAR. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES, THE SUN HAS PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO FAILURE TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ETC. CLEARLY, TOYOTA RECALLED THIS DUE TO THE MANY FAILURES IT HAD ALREADY RECEIVED. IF, I WAS AWARE THAT THE $500-$600 PART WAS GOING TO BREAK A MONTH AFTER IT'S RECALL DATE. I MOST LIKELY WOULD OF TRIED TO GET IT REPLACED SOMEHOW? OF, COURSE THEY WON'T FIX IT UNTIL IT'S BROKEN. IT'S GOING TO BE AWFULLY HARD TO GET A FAIR MARKET VALUE WHEN TRYING TO EVENTUALLY TRADE IN THE CAR OR SELL IT OUTRIGHT. WHEN, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AND, NOBODY IS GOING TO PAY $500-$600 TO FIX THIS. SO, FOR MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES TO TRY & STOP A WRECK OR FATALITY FROM OCCURRING PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THANFULLY, MY AIRBAGS HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED YET! TOYOTA IS LIABLE FOR THIS, & THEY SHOULD BE MANDATED TO FIX THIS! THE RECALL WAS FOR 2007-2011 TOYOTA CAMRY'S

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRE BLEW OR SOMETHING ELSE AND THEN I HEARD AIR.

MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING AND IS NOW A SHINY, GOOEY SUBSTANCE THAT I CAN'T CLEAN. IT'S WORSE BECAUSE WHEN THE SUN HITS THE SHINY DASH I'M BLINDED. DRIVING HOME IN THE AFTERNOON AFTER WORK IS SO DANGEROUS FOR ME BECAUSE WHEN IT REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD I CAN BARELY SEE ANYTHING. I ALSO BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THIS OILY FILM THAT HAS BEEN FORMING ON MY WINDSHIELD. I KEEP CLEANING BUT IT WON'T STAY CLEAN. IT LEAVES THIS IRIDESCENT FILM THAT JUST KEEPS FORMING AGAIN.

DASHBOARD IS VERY SHINY AND STICKY - THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD IN THE SUN OR AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS IS VERY UNSAFE IN MY OPINION. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY ADVISED THEY SENT LETTERS ABOUT A WARRANTY EXTENSION WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED AND SAID AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO RECOURSE. THIS POSES AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I WAS SURPRISED THIS WASN'T A RECALL VS A WARRANTY EXTENSION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND WE HAVE HIGH MILEAGE AS IT IS MY PRIMARY CAR THAT I DRIVE DAILY.

TAKATA RECALL THE SUNVISORS ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HAVE FALLEN DOWN AND WON'T STAY UP. WE HAVE HAD TO REMOVE BOTH SUN VISORS AS THEY HANG DOWN AND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS WAS FIRST NOTICE D WHILE DRIVING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PUT DRIVER;'S VISOR DOWN IT WOULD NOT STAY UP. EVENTUALLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR.

Mileage: 100,000

TAKATA RECALL MY VISORS IN MY CAR KEEP COMING DOWN AND HINDERING MY ABILITY TO DRIVE WITH DIFFICULTIES. I HAVE FIXED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES. TOYOTA NEEDS TO POP IN AND SOLVE THIS ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS IN HOUSTON AND THE VISORS JUST FALLS. BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN FALL OF THE VISOR I JUMPED THE CURB AND POPPED A TIRE. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO KEEP SPENDING MY TIME AND MONEY ON SOMETHING I ALREADY SPENT MY MONEY ON. DONT USE CRAPPY PARTS AND YOU WON'T GET CRAPPY RESULTS.

WHICH I BELIEVE IS WHY IT PASSED. BECAUSE I USE 0-20 OIL, JUST LIKE MY OWNERS MANUAL SAYS. SO I'M NOT SURE.

I CONTACTED TOYOTA OVER A YEAR AGO CONCERNING A RECALL ON MY DASH BOAD...I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE ON BACK ORDE DUE TO THE RECALL...I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER BUT EVERY TIME I CALL TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE THEY GIVE ME AN ATTITUDE STATING THAT THEY HAVE HAD PEOPLE WAITING ON A DASH BOARD LONGER THAN ME AND THAT I JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

I'VE SENT/SPOKEN WITH TOYOTA AND ITS DEALERS AND THEY HAVE NOT AGREED REPAIR OR REPLACE MY MELTING DASHBOARD. DID I MENTION IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HAS FURTHER DECREASED THE RE-SALE VALUE.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING OFF AND BLOCKS DRIVER'S VIEW. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM FOR TOYOTA CAMRY MODEL BETWEEN 2008 - 2011. MANY OWNERS COMPLAINS ABOUT IT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTER BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM

I AM GETTING RUNNING OUT OF ENGINE OIL, I HAVE TALK TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAY TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE FACING SAME PROBLEM I AM RUNNING OUT OIL AS LOW IN JUST 1000 MILE AND I HAVE DIAGNOSE AND THEY COULD NOT FOUND ANY PROBLEM.

DASH IS MELTING. THE RESIDUE FROM THE DASH IS CAUSING A STICKY REFLECTIVE SURFACE. THE REFLECTIVE SURFACE IS DISTRACTING FOR DRIVERS AND CAN DURING BRIGHT DAYS CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITY.

DASHBOARD REALLY STICKY AND MELTING IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN

MY 2008 CAMRY XLE HAS A VERY SHINY, STICKY DASHBOARD. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER THE PERIOD OF A FEW YEARS. NOW, I CAN HARDLY SEE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING BRIGHT AND SOMETIMES WITH CERTAIN NIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS.

Mileage: 165,000

SUN VISORS FOR BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER BROKE. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER SIDE TO COME OFF, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE TOO CAME OFF. I AM THE ONLY ONE DRIVING THE CAR. THIS HAS TO BE A SERIOUS QUALITY ISSUE. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST YEAR BUT THE POOR QUALITY OF THE CAMRY VISORS CANNOT BE EXCUSED. ITS OK FOR ME TO SPEND MONEY TO GET IT REPAIRED, BUT I DO MIND BUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME I HAVE TO SPEND TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS JUST VERY ANNOYING.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY AND OF THE BOARD IS MELTING AND I IS DIFFICULT AT THE BESST SUN DOES GET GOOD VISIBILITY BECAUSE THE SUNLIGHT SO BRIGHT HINDERS MY VISION BOARD. I WANT TO KNOW WHERE I CAN GO TO HELP ME TO FIX THIS FLAW. I AM PARKING IN FRONT TO MY HOUSE

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY VISOR ON DRIVER SIDE, I WENT TO TOYOTA OF LEWISVILLE, TX, THE MANAGER OF SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL, HE TREAT ME LIKE IT IS MY FAULT, IT IS QUALITY PROBLEM, IT IS SO SAD YOU DRIVING THE GOOD CAR BUT IT HAS A LOT OF PROBLEM.

PURCHASE A 2008 CAMRY AND NOTICE THAT THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SHINY AND REAL MESS. I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA PLACE BECAUSE OF A RECALLED ON THE POWER SWITCH IN AUGUST 2015. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALLED ON THE DASH BOARD BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP. TODAY I CALLED AND WAS ROUTED TO A SALESMAN WHO WAS TRYING TO GET ME TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA. I DON'T THINK I WILL PURCHASE ANOTHER TOYOTA. MY FIRST ONE WAS GREAT A 2005. BUT THIS SECOND ONE 2008 HAS MADE ME NOT BELIEVE IN THE PRODUCT ANYMORE. WHAT HAPPEN TO TOYOTA DEPENDABILITY? THIS IS WHAT MADE ME BUY THE PRODUCT IN THE FIRST PLACE. ACCOUNTABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY HAS DISAPPEAR FOR MOST CAR COMPANIES. WHAT'S A CONSUMER TO DO JUST LIE DOWN AND TAKE POOR WORKMANSHIP?

I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I JUST WANTED TO VENT MY FEELING ON THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA ISSUED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE CONCERNING THE SUN VISOR ASSEMBLY. THE NOTICE GAVE YOU 7 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE WHICH SEEM LIKE A LONG TIME. THEY STATED ONLY TO BRING IT IN IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM UNTIL 9 MONTHS PASS THE 7 YEARS. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VISOR FELL DOWN BLOCKING MY VIEW. I HAD TO REMOVE IT IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD. MY QUESTION IS WHY WAS THIS ISSUED AS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE INSTEAD OF A RECALL. THEY MUST KNOW THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT SINCE THEY ISSUED THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTICE.

THE SUN VISOR BECAME WEAK AND HAS BROKEN COMPLETELY. I WOULD VENTURE TO SAY THE VISOR HAS LESS THAN THE AVERAGE AMOUNT OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE VISOR ITSELF WILL NOT STAY UP IN THE PROPER POSITION NOR STAY DOWN/BACK (MORE FLATLY ADJACENT TO THE WINDSHIELD). THIS CAUSES DECREASED/AWKWARD VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING IN GENERAL AND OFFERS NO RELIEF WHEN NEEDED FROM DRIVING INTO THE SUN'S PATH. IT IS ALSO VERY DISTRACTING (EVEN FRUSTRATING) WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 86,500

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BEGAN TO SLOWLY DROP DOWN AND EVENTUALLY FELL COMPLETELY OFF FALLING INTO MY FACE AND ONTO MY LAP. THE VISOR APPEARS TO HAVE BROKEN OFF AT THE POINT WHERE IT IS HELD TO THE CAR ITSELF. THERE WAS NO WARNING IT WAS ABOUT TO BREAK COMPLETELY OFF AND FALL ON MY FACE. WHEN TOYOTA WAS CALLED TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS A KNOW ISSUE, TOYOTA'S RESPONSE WAS THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THE SUN VISORS ARE DROOPING AND BREAKING ON SELECT MODELS, CAUSING THEN TO FALL OFF. THEY ADVISED MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THIS VISOR ISSUE. HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT A RECALL. I ADVISED TOYOTA THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK OFTEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECTION OF DIRECT SUN. NOT HAVING A VISOR IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I NOW AM CONCERNED ABVOUT THIS ISSUE. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE WAS THIS IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST. TOYOTA ADVISED IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED, I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE AT MY COST. THIS ISSUE IS MORE AROUND SAFETY AND SUPPORTING THE "KNOWN ISSUE." I NOW AM AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT A WORKING VISOR DUE TO THIS KNOWN ISSUE WHICH TOYOTA THEMSELVES IDENTIFIED.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING IN THE HEAT. IT GET'S STICKY AND SHINY IN THE HEAT AND REFLECTS A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND ON IT AND IT STICKS TO THE DASH AND YOU COULD PEAL THE SURFACE OFF.

ON MAY 22, 2015, WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR, THE SUN VISOR WAS DOWN. I TRIED TO PUT IT BACK INTO ITS PROPER PLACE, BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY UP. NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED, IT KEPT FLOPPING DOWN, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW WHEN DRIVING. IF I PUSH IT FORWARD TOWARD THE FRONT WINDOW, I CAN SEE BETTER, BUT STILL I DON'T HAVE MAXIMUM VISIBILITY. IT FLOPS BACK DOWN AT TIMES, TOTALLY BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD AND THE REVIEW MIRROR. THIS IS A DEFINITELY SAFETY HAZARD AND IF AUTHORITIES WERE AWARE, I WOULD PROBABLY BE GIVEN A CITATION FOR DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR. WHEN IT FLOPS DOWN AND OBSTRUCTS VIEW OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE WHAT IS BEHIND ME IS BY USING THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WHICH TAKES LONGER AND, THEREFORE, COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I FIND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SUN VISOR PROBLEM, YET TOYOTA CONTINUES TO DENY RESPONSIBILITY. IF THIS IS THE WAY TOYOTA STANDS BEHIND THEIR CARS, I NEED TO RETURN TO NISSAN FOR MY NEXT CAR.

AS I WAS CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH A CLEAN CLOTH AND STARTED TO SEE SOME DARK STAIN COMING OUT AND WHEN I TOOK A MINUTE TO FIND OUT, I REALIZED THAT MY DASHBOARD WAS MELTING. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST TOYOTA AND THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA RIGHT NOW. THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX IT. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE FACING THIS ISSUE. *TR

AUGUST OF 2012, I NOTICED A STICKY RESIDUE DEVELOPING ON THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. I HAVE SINCE TRIED TO CLEANING IT OFF, BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AS IT STARTED DEVELOPING A SHINE ON THE DASHBOARD CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE I DRIVE DURING THE DAY. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AS IT MAKES VISIBILITY MUCH MORE DIFFICULT. *TR

GLARE FROM MELTING DASHBOARD

Mileage: 38,000

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY AND NOTICED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO HAVE A STICKY FEELING. I LIVE IN WEST PALM BEACH, FL AND WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS I NOTICED AN ARTICLE ON THE CHANNEL 5 NEWS STATION THAT HAD A REPORT ON THE MELTING DASH IN THESE CARS. AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CAMRY DRIVERS, I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A "RECALL" ISSUE WITH TOYOTA AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT! I'VE SEEN THE ESTIMATES OTHER DRIVERS HAVE RECEIVED AFTER SPEAKING WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SEEM TO CHARGE AROUND $2500 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD; AND IT'S NOT EVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRIVER! THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO START TAKING CARE OF IT NOW! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN, REGARDLESS OF THE HYPE OF THEIR EVERLASTING PRODUCTS. *JS

DRIVER SIDE VISOR LOST TENSION AND EVENTUALLY BROKE. VISOR WAS DANGEROUSLY HANGING DOWN IN DIRECT LINE OF DRIVER SIGHT. *TR

THE PASSENGER SUNVISOR BEGAN TO HANG DOWN SLIGHTLY AND THEN IT DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO BACK UP AT ALL. WE TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX IT BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE PASSENGER CAN'T EVEN LOOK FORWARD AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY DUE TO THE SUN RIGHT IN THEIR EYES. RECENTLY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUNVISOR HAS NOW DONE THE SAME THING. IT IS HANGING DOWN IN THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER AND CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS. WE HAVE TO DRIVE HOLDING IT UP WITH OUR HANDS JUST SO WE CAN SEE OUT OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW TO DRIVE. I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM TO OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS AND WAS ASTONISHED AT HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE WERE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I SAW HOW MANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS FOR SO MANY. *TT

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLAPPED DOWN WITHOUT BEING MANUALLY RELEASED. THE VISOR NO LONGER LOCKS INTO PLACE AND RELEASES RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DRIVING HAZARD.

THE CONSUMER STATED HE NOTICED JUST AFTER CHRISTMAS THERE WAS PAINT PEELING OFF THE REAR BUMPER. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED AUTO BODY SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THE PAINT REPAIR WAS POORLY DONE AND THAT MOST LIKELY THE PAINT SHOP THAT WAS USED FOR THE REPAIR DIDN'T USE ENOUGH UV PROTECTION IN THE PAINT AND THE BASE PAINT WAS PROBABLY INFERIOR QUALITY. THE AUTO BODY SHOP STATED, IF THE UV PAINT PROTECTION WAS NOT USED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY AND QUALITY IN A PROPER MANNER THAT AFTER 2 OR 3 MONTHS IN THE SUN, THE COLOR WOULD CHANGE. *JB UPDATED CONGRESSIONAL LETTER 10/27/10. *JB UPDATED CONGRESSIONAL LETTER 10/29/10*JB
