I bought my car in October 2009. I did not discover until years later that the pistons for the 2009 Toyota Camry Le did not fit correctly. This caused oil consumption problems, but it did not start happening until a 3-year warranty and at about 60-70 thousand miles. I did not get a notice of recall notice of Toyota's resolution to the problem, because they had the wrong apartment number and email address which I was told by Rep. Sherry and Rose at Toyota Corporation. Rep. said she was sending information to higher up at the corporation instead she sending it to the dealership. I did not get notice of a class action suit/resolution, trotter body, or melting dashboard. I have paid at least $6-7 thousand to dealerships workmanship is bad. I need help!! Because I did not get notices Toyota should fix and compensate me for repairs. Also, they replaced my hold break system because they assumed the shrieking noise was the break. This was done without my permission. I had to replace the axle they replaced less than a year ago. I am frustrated. I can not pay out any more money. My car stopped working on [XXX] I had to have it told to the dealership in Mamaroneck. Rep Sherry told me the trotter body is on recall until 2026, dealership is saying no. I can be reached at [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

WHEN DRIVING OUTSIDE ESPECIALLY DAY TIME AND WHEN HOT AND HUMID, THE CAR'S DASH BECOMES STICKY AND SOFT. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM AND THE LIVED IN CA, I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM. NEITHER I RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OR NONE IN THE SERVICE CENTER CHECKED WITH ON THIS ISSUE OR TOLD ME THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AND HENCE NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY DID WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE AND POWER WINDOW SWITCH MALFUNCTION. NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS DASH STICKINESS ISSUE AND TOYOTA IN HAWAII IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AND SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT THAT THEY HAS PUT IN AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR MILLIONS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS. THE REASON DOE REFUSAL IS THAT MY CAR JUST PASSED 10 YEARS SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT. BUT HAD I BEEN KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE EVEN EXPERIENCING IT, I WOULD HAVE GOT IT REPLACED. I HAD BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLE REGULARLY TO TOYOTA SERVICE, BUT NONE BOTHERED TO CHECK ON THIS. SINCE IT IS NOT MY ISSUE AND IT IS BECASUE OF THEY USING A DEFECTIVE PART, THEY SHOULD HELP ME IN REPLACING IT COMPLETELY AT THEIR EXPENDITURE. I AM WITH MY FAMILY AND I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE AS IT COULD EMIT CHEMICALS BECAUSE OF MELTING OR CHANCES OF FIRE ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP ME TO HAVE THE SERVCO TOYOTA REPLACE MY DASH. I BROUGHT THIS TO CONTINENTAL US TOYOTA HEAD OFFICE, BUT THEY AGAIN DIRECTED ME TO SERVCO TOYOTA, HAWAII, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO HELP.

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 COSTS $2600.00 (INSTALLED)!! I REPORTED THIS ISSUE HERE BECAUSE IT IS A MANUFACTURING/SAFETY ISSUE RESULTING FROM TOYOTA'S USE OF SUB PAR MATERIALS...LIKE DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WIPERS...IF YOU CAN'T SEE OUT OF YOUR WINDSHIELD AT FREEWAYS SPEEDS BECAUSE OF THE GLARE FROM YOUR DASHBOARD, OR THE RESIDUE STUCK ON YOUR WINDSHIELD...YOU ARE AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?

THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE ON A PUBLIC STREET. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A FEW YEARS, SO THE DATE LISTED BELOW AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENED IS NOT A PINPOINTED DATE.

I HAVE A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY AND REALIZED THAT MY DASHBOARD IS BEGINNING TO MELT. THERE IS A VERY STICKY RESIDUE ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT WILL NOT COME OFF. I ALSO HAVE TRIED CALLING TOYOTA BUT HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY WHERE WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF MY DASHBOARD. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE MY DASHBOARD REPLACED. IT ALSO CREATES A TERRIBLE GLARE IN THE DAY TIME AND IT OBSTRUCTS YOUR VISION. AT THIS POINT ITS A SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN WILL THEY REPLACE THESE DASHBOARDS???

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED 2009 CAMRY, WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD. THE CAR SALESPERSON TOLD ME IT'S JUST CLEANER, SO OF COURSE I BELIEVED THEM. ALTHOUGH, WHEN I GOT HOME I READ ALL ABOUT TOYOTA'S PROBLEM WITH MELTING DASHBOARDS. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS COMPANY'S INTERIOR MANUFACTURING. THERE IS AN INTENSE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE STICKY DASHBOARD. THIS MAKES IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AT WORK IN MARCH, 2017. THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME WAS A BMW SUV. ABOUT ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER THE BMW BURST INTO FLAMES CAUSING FIRE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE BMW HAS CLOSED THE CLAIM SAYING THE FIRE WAS NOT INTENTIONAL THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT PAYING ANYTHING FOR MY CLAIM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY IS PAYING FOR REPAIRS TO MY CAR, HOWEVER, I HAVE TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE AND COST OF A RENTAL CAR. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I SAW SEVERAL NEWS REPORTS OF BMW'S BURSTING INTO FLAMES AFTER BEING TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE. THEY SAID I WAS 0% AT FAULT (OBVIOUSLY), BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THIS INCIDENT. ALL I DID WAS PARK MY CAR; MY CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. I HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL SEVERAL INCIDENTS ARE FAR TOO MANY FOR BMW TO IGNORE. THEY CERTAINLY HAVE MORE MONEY THAN I DO. I HAVE PHOTOS, VIDEO, ETC.

I CANT GIVE A DEFINITVE DATE WHEN I NOTICED BUT I DID NOTICE IT SEEMED TO APPEAR AS IF I HAD PUT A COAT OF CONDITIONER ON IT, I ASSUMED IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF THE HEAT CAUSING EXCESS CONDITIONER TO LEACH OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO WIPE IT OFF AND REALIZED IT WAS STICKY AND IT WAS NEAR THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION TIME. ONE COLD MORING I GOT IN THE CAR AND REALIZED NO NORMAL DASHBOARD SHOULD LOOK LIKE THAT AND PRESSED IT WITH MY FINGERNAIL AND REALIZED IT WAS SOFT. I TAKE MY CAR IN ON FAIRLY REGULAR BASIS TO A TOYOTA DEALER. WHICH IS WHY I BELIEVE THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS SAW THE PATTERN OF CHANGE AND CHOOSE NOT TO DOCUMENT IT OR SAY ANYTHING AS IT MAY INVOLVE A PROBLEM THAT WOULD NOT INVOLVE PROFIT FOR TOYOTA OR THE DEALERSHIP. MY LAST TRIP WAS FOR A DEFECT ON THE VISOR AND I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE AGENT WHO CHOOSE NOT TO MAKE ANY COMMENT WHICH I NOTED AS ODD ( A TYPICAL ACTION WHEN MANAGEMENT HAS INSTRUCED EMPLOYEES NOT TO COMMENT ON A KNOWN PROBLEM). A MONTH OR SO LATER I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT THEY WOUL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH A COMPLIMENTARY FIX TO THE PROBLEM. THE LETTER I RECEIVED APPEARS TO BE A STALLING TACTIC TO GET CUSTOMERS TO WAIT, NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND OR SEEK REIMBURSEMENT UTILL IT'S TOO LATE FOR REDRESS. ON MY LAST VISIT I INSISTED THEY MAKE NOTE OF THE PROBLEM DUE TO DANGEROUS GLARE BEING REFLECTED OFF THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. I STATED IT WAS A GRAVE SAFETY ISSUE. THE LETTER STATED THEY NEEDED TO ACQUIRE ENOUH PARTS TO FIX THE CARS AND DO NO CONTACT THE DEALER TO WAIT FOR A NOTICE TO BRING YOUR CAR IN. IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT IT WOULD NOT TAKE OVER SIX MONTHS TO ACQUIRE THE PARTS IF I OR THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS PAYING FOR IT. BELIEVE ME IF CEO'S OF TOYOTA OR THERE LOVED ONES WERE DRIVING WITH THIS PROBLEM THEY WOULD IMMEDIATELY FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY PROBABLY HAVE AND KEPT IT OFF THE RECORD.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2008. I LIVED IN GA FROM 2008-2012 AND MOVED TO TX IN 2012. I DID NOT EXPERIENCE DASH ISSUES WHILE LIVING IN GA. I FIRST NOTICED MY DASHBOARD WAS "STICKY" WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE A PARKING VOUCHER FROM THE DASH AREA. THE VOUCHER WAS STUCK TO THE DASH AND OTHER AREAS OF THE DASH WERE STICKY TO THE TOUCH. I TRIED REMOVING PIECES OF THE VOUCHER AND NOTICED THE "STICKINESS" OF THE DASHBOARD WAS COMING OFF ONTO MY HANDS. THE STICKINESS HAS WORSENED TO THE POINT THAT WHENEVER THE DASH IS TOUCHED THE STICKY RESIDUE IS TRANSFERRED ONTO HANDS AND FINGERPRINTS ARE LEFT BEHIND. THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING AND TOUCHING THE SURFACE CREATES "GOUGES" IN THE DASH. THE AREA WHERE THE VOUCHER WAS PLACED AND REMOVED IS WORN AND HAS LOST ITS TEXTURE. THE INCREASED STICKINESS MAKES THE DASH SHINY AND A GLARE IS PRESENT WHEN DRIVING. THE STICKY/MELTING DASH IS A RESULT OF DASH MATERIAL DEFECTS WHICH SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND QUICKLY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES AND RECALL THE DASHBOARDS TO HELP SAVE LIVES. *TR

GLARE DUE TO MELTED DASHBOARD CAUSE DELAY REACTION DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY RESULTING IN DOUBLE IMPACT.

THIS GLARE HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO SEVERAL WRECKS BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO SEE. I HAVE VERY SENSITIVE EYES AND I DO WEAR SUNGLASSES, BUT THE GLARE IS STILL VERY BRIGHT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS I SEE IT'S NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND I WOULD HATE TO GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE OF IT AND POSSIBLY HAVE SOMEONE OR MYSELF HURT OR KILLED. *TR

STICKY AND SHINY DASHBOARD: MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO CLEAN BUT NOT ONLY THAT BUT THERE IS THE GLARE AND WHEN THAT COMES UP I CAN'T REALLY SEE WHERE I AM GOING PROPERLY. IT'S QUITE DANGEROUS SINCE THE SHINY DASHBOARD MAKES EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS WHEN SUN HIT RIGHT AT YOU. IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE I HAVE TO LEAN DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND GO IN BETWEEN THE TWO GLARE SPOTS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING. WE LIVE IN KENTUCKY SO IT IS NOT JUST WARMER WEATHER STATES LIKE TOYOTA STATES IT IS. THE MELTING CAUSES A GLARE THAT IS DANGEROUS.

THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO "MELT" AND BECOME STICKY. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, TO THE POINT IT IS NOW ABOUT AN 80% LIQUID APPEARANCE. THE DASH MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE LIQUID APPEARANCE IS EXTREMELY SOFT AND QUITE EASILY DAMAGED. IT CANNOT BE CLEANED, AS ANY TYPE OF CLEANING CLOTH OR SPONGE IMMEDIATELY STICKS TO THE SURFACE. NO CLEANERS OR PROTECTANTS HAVE EVER BEEN APPLIED. *TR

THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL STARTED LEAKING, OOZING SOME STICKY GLUEY FLUID THAT GOT REAL WORSE WHEN IT WAS HOT. DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY BECAME VERY HARD SINCE THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY SHINY GLARE REFLECTED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND VISIBILITY WAS VERY LOW. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE & DID SOME GOOGLE RESEARCH. I REALIZED I WAS NOT ALONE. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO TOYOTA ATTENTION BY AN EMAIL. THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALER. DEALER BASICALLY SAID THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY NEED MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A "DEFECTIVE" MATERIAL USE BY TOYOTA. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS WITHIN A "SAFETY" RECALL. *TR

STICKY DASH. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I NOTICED THE STICKY DASH SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, BUT AS I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A RECALL, DID NOT REPORT IT UNTIL MY LAST OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THAT TIME, REPORTED THE STICKY DASH TO TOYOTA. I CALLED THIS WEEK REGARDING THE MATTER AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT TOYOTA WOULD REPLACE THE DASH, BUT THE LABOR OF $251.00 WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT I DID NOT FEEL THAT THE LABOR OR ANY COST SHOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY, AS IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT AND NOT ANYTHING THAT I HAD CREATED. MY CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT LEAST 96% OF THE TIME. HAVING SAID THAT, I DO FEEL THAT IF IT HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR MOST OF THE TIME, THE PROBLEM WOULD BE MUCH WORSE AND OVER TIME IT WILL MOST LIKELY GET WORSE. I WATCHED THE REPORT ON CHANNEL 5 LAST EVENING REGARDING THIS MATTER AND HOPEFUL THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. THANK YOU *TR

INTERIOR ROOF LINING BEGAN SAGGING; AND SUN VISOR; LOST ITS ABILITY TO RETURN TO ORIGINAL POSITION. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK CAR AND HAD ROOF LINING REPLACED AT BAHAMAS AUTO UPHOLSTERY - AVE 4742 SW 75 AVE. TEL (305) 262-050 I PAID $275.00; THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT WAS COMMON IN TOYOTAS WITH A SUN ROOF, IN FLORIDA. THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR LOST ADHESIVE AND SNAPPED OFF, HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. AT THE SAME TIME I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD WAS LOOSING ITS INTEGRITY, THEREFORE I PURCHASED A STRONGER REFLECTIVE SUN PROTECTIVE VISOR FOR INTERIOR, BUT IT HAS NOT HELPED, DASH IS NOW MELTING. *TR

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY'S DASHBOARD HAS MELTED. IT HAS BECOME A STICKY, SHINY MESS. I TRIED TO PUT REFLECTIVE SHADES IN THE WINDSHIELD TO HELP SLOW THE DISINTEGRATION. UPON REMOVING IT TO DRIVE THE CAR ONE AFTERNOON SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED USING IT, PART OF THE VINYL WAS MELTED TO THE SHIELD AND RIPPED OFF THE DASHBOARD LEAVING THE ORANGE FOAM SHOWING. THE SAFETY HAZARD COMES FROM THE SHINY "PUDDLES" OF MELTED DASH. THEY ARE INCREDIBLY REFLECTIVE AND CAN BE BLINDING IN SUNLIGHT. THE GLARE IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. I CANNOT LAY ANYTHING ON THE DASH TO REDUCE THE GLARE, BECAUSE THE VINYL WILL ADHERE TO IT AND PEEL AWAY LIKE IT DID WITH THE SUN SHIELD. WHILE IT HAS NOT YET CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR ME, I CAN SEE WHERE IT MAY HAVE FOR OTHERS. AS THE CARS AGE FURTHER, MORE OF THE DASH WILL BECOME MELTED. EVENTUALLY, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE ROAD WITH THE EQUIVALENT OF A SPOTLIGHT BLINDING THEM WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. HOPEFULLY, A SAFETY SOLUTION WILL BE HAD BEFORE THEN. ANOTHER PROBLEM THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW, THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT HAVE GOOD CLARITY WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. I HAVE CLEANED IT SO MANY WAYS AND REPLACED THE WIPER ARMS, BUT IT HAS A SMEAR, OR FILM, THAT MAKES IT HIGHLY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH IN WET CONDITIONS. *TR

MY DASHBOARD STARTING GETTING STICKY ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. IT IS GETTING WORSE AND EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT MAKING MARKS ALL OVER THE DASH. IT ALSO MAKES MY CAR HAVE AN UNUSUAL ODOR. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE IN GENERAL THE CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION BUT THIS REALLY MAKES IT LOOK AWFUL.. *TR

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALER (GETTEL TOYOTA, BRADENTON, FL) WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY OFFERED TO RECOVER THE DASH WITH A SYNTHETIC LEATHER MATERIAL FOR THE COST OF $500.00. I SAID TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I DID NOT THINK IT WAS FAIR THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR WHAT IN THIS CASE WAS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. THE DASH IS NOT A "WEAR AND TEAR" ITEM.

MY TOYOTA CAMRYS DASHBOARD HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE. ITS SCRATCHES EASILY. BUT THIS SUMMER IT STARTED TO FEEL STICKY. AROUND THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY IT WILL ACTUALLY BE SHINY AND MELTED AND AS THE TEMPERATURE GOES DOWN IT WILL GO BACK TO BEING GOOEY, SOFT. WHEN THE SUN IS HIGHEST I HAVE TO PUT MY SUNGLASSES ON TO SHIELD OFF SOME OF THE GLARE ON MY DASH. THE OTHER DAY I DROVE FOR AN HOUR AROUND 3PM AND LATER I WAS SUFFERING FROM A TWITCH IN MY EYE FROM EYE STRAIN FROM THE GLARE OFF MY DASH. A FRIEND OF MINE GOT IN THE CAR AND I HAD FORGOTTEN TO TELL HER NOT TO TOUCH THE DASHBOARD AS IT WAS AROUND 1PM. I KNEW IT WOULD BE MELTING. SHE PLACED HER CELL PHONE ON IT AND AS SOON AS SHE TOOK IT OFF, PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD STUCK TO HER PHONE. I NOW HAVE HOLES ON MY DASH. IT WASN'T HER FAULT AND I DON'T SEE WHY IT SHOULD BE MINE EITHER OR WHY I SHOULD CONTINUE TO PUT UP WITH IT. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT MY CAR CLEAN AND SERVICED. I HAVE ALWAYS PROTECTED THE INSIDE WITH MOTHERS AND ARMOR ALL. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I MUST HAVE PUT SOMETHING ON IT I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO AND THAT IT WOULD COST 1800 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE DASH. WHY SHOULD I PAY TO FIX A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? IN MY INVESTIGATION I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN STATES. CAN SOMETHING PLEASE BE DONE? CAN TOYOTA PLEASE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR GREEDY COST CUTTING TACTICS? SO FAR I HAVE ATTENDED NUMEROUS RECALLS FOR THIS CAR FOR ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. HAVING TO TAKE OUT TIME FROM WORK AND MY PERSONAL TIME TO GO FOR ANOTHER RECALL IS NOT WHAT I ENVISIONED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR. ITS NOT WHAT I SIGNED AND PAID FOR. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA UNTIL TOYOTA STARTS TREATING CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT. *TR

EACH TIME I HAD MY CAR DETAILED, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT FROM THE DETAILER AS TO WHY MY DASH WAS NEVER CLEAN AND THE PRODUCTS THEY USED DIDN'T CAUSE THE SURFACE TEXTURE. UP UNTIL I BEGAN HEARING COMPLAINTS FROM NISSAN OWNERS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, I REALIZED I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY.

FROM WHAT I CAN TELL ALMOST EVERYONE WHO HAS A LATE MODEL LEXUS OR CAMRY IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE DASH COVERING BEGINS TO MELT AND BECOMES VERY STICKY. THE COVERING STARTS TO COME OFF IF YOU TRY TO CLEAN IT AND THEN A VERY SHINY SURFACE APPEARS AND REFLECTS OFF OF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE UNLESS YOU PUT SOMETHING OVER THE DASH TO STOP THE REFLECTION. THIS SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING EVERY CAMRY FOR SEVERAL MODEL YEARS AND VERY OBVIOUSLY IS A DEFECT. I HAVE HEARD TOYOTA WILL GIVE UP TO A 50% DISCOUNT SO THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL IT COSTS THE CONSUMER 300 DOLLARS. THIS SEEMS UNFAIR TO ME. *TR

THE GUY WHO HELPED ME EVEN LOOKED FOR ANY RECALLS BUT FOUND NONE. SO NOW I JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. I CAN SEE IT BECOMING A REALLY BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDOW AREA OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT.? SOME PEOPLE'S DASHBOARDS ARE WORSE THAN MINE BECAUSE OF THE SUN.

THE INTERIOR TRIM WARRANTY BY PERMA PLATE STATES IT COVERS CRACKED STAINING OR FADED DASH AND TRIM NOT STICKY! I WAS TOLD THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHERE THE GLUE IS COMING THROUGH THE DASH. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE ! I CALL AND GOT THE STANDARD SYMPATHY STATEMENT OF ITS OUT OF WARRANTY! TO TRY TO GET A DISCOUNT FROM YOUR DEALER?

THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY NEVER OBSERVED ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND ONLY COULD OFFER TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD FOR APPROXIMATELY $1500. THE SHEEN ON THE DASH ALSO CREATES A GLARE ON SUNNY DAYS, WHICH CREATE A SAFETY HAZARD. I PERSONALLY THINK ITS A PRODUCT DEFECT AND TOYOTA IS AVOIDING A RECALL. I AM 67 YEARS OLD, AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME. THIS IS A FIRST. IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. SINCERELY, VERY DISAPPOINTED *JS

I HAD PICKED UP A PASSENGER ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS FROM MY HOME. I WAS RETURNING HOME & NOTICED THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS ACCELERATING EVEN THO I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE. I COULDN'T STOP THE CAR& A CURVY ROAD WAS AHEAD ALONG WITH A CLIFF. MY OPTION WAS TO GO OVER THE CLIFF OR GO INTO POSSIBLE ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO TRY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I OPTED TO TRY TO TURN THE CAR INTO A NEARBY DRIVEWAY. LUCKILY NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HIT MY CAR AS I DID THIS. THE DRIVEWAY WAS SLANTED & AS I TURNED INTO THE DRIVEWAY I SMACKED INTO A SNOW BANK WHICH TORE MY FRONT BUMPER OFF. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO PERSONAL INJURIES. I REPORTED THIS TO TOYOTA & MY INSURANCE ( AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I HAD HEARD ABOUT A TOYOTA RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH GAS PEDAL BUT IT HAD BEEN A WHILE & I HADN'T RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL AFFECTING MY VEHICLE). MY PERSONAL CAR INSURANCE COVERED THE $3000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER RADIATOR, GRILL, ETC. OVER 4 YEARS LATER & I STILL HAVEN'T RECOVERED MY DEDUCTIBLE FROM TOYOTA FOR A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE PEDAL! HAD I BEEN NOTIFIED TIMELY OF THE RECALL AFFECTING MY VEHICLE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED! INSTEAD, I HAD TO COVER THE COST TO REPAIR DAMAGE OUT OF MY POCKET & I HAD WHIPLASH FOR A FEW WEEKS CAUSED BY A KNOWN ISSUE TOYOTA KNEW OF! I'M FURIOUS & DISAPPOINTED THAT I CHOSE A TOYOTA! *TR

MY DAUGHTER OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT IN GREAT CONDITION, AND MY WIFE HAS BEEN DRIVING IT FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS. WE RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE DASH BOARD ON THE VEHICLE HAS GOUGES IN IT (ON THE AREA THAT HANGS OVER ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL) AND WE REALIZED THAT MERELY ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHING THE DASH BOARD WITH YOUR FINGERNAILS (AS ONE COULD DO ACCIDENTALLY IF YOU WERE DRIVING AND TURNING THE WHEEL) IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE NAILS TO "SINK IN" AND CAUSE A PERMANENT SCAR IN THE DASH BOARD. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD, WHEN YOU TOUCH IT, IS "STICKY", OR "TACKY", ALMOST LIKE DRYING PAINT OR TAR. IT'S SO SOFT, THAT CONCEIVABLY, YOU COULD TAKE AN ICE CREAM SCOOP AND SCOOP OUT ENTIRE CHUNKS. MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY ALSO HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I DID NOT CLEAN MY DASH BOARD WITH ANY POLISH. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT .. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING OR SUFFERING SOME KIND OF HEAT-RELATED DAMAGE DUE TO THE FLORIDA HEAT, BUT THIS STILL SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I SHOULD NOTE THAT MY WIFE AND I HAVE NEVER APPLIED ANY CLEANING CHEMICALS OR ANYTHING TO THE DASH BOARD, OTHER THAN TAKING AN ORDINARY DRY RAG AND WIPING DOWN THE DUST. HAVE YOU GUYS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE? THANKS IN ADVANCE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING S ON I95 JUST NORTH OF PONTE VEDRA EXIT BETWEEN JACKSONVILLE AND ST. AUGUSTINE, FL A LARGE PIECE OF TIRE RETREAD/RECAP CAME DOWN IN MY LANE AND I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO HIT IT GOING BETWEEN 65-70MPH CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS AND UNKNOWN DAMAGE UNDERNEATH UNTIL IT IS CHECKED OUT. TIRE RECAP CAUSES MANY ACCIDENTS OR VEHICULAR DAMAGE WITH NO REPERCUSSIONS. IF I WERE TO DROP LARGE ITEMS FROM MY VEHICLE THAT DAMAGED OTHER VEHICLES OR CAUSED ACCIDENTS, THERE WOULD BE SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS. MONEY IS NO EXCUSE FOR SAFETY, MAKE THEM PAY FOR TIRES OR STAY OFF THE ROAD! *TR

DASH STARTED TO GET STICKY AND WHATEVER I TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH WOULD END UP STICKING TO IT. OVER TIME THIS HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. TODAY , IF YOU PUT YOUR FINGER INTO THE DASH IT WILL CREATE AN INDENTATION AND STAY THAT WAY.I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF TOYOTA OWNERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS TIME FOR ME TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND IM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD GET ANOTHER TOYOTA OR GO TO A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED TO SELL MY CAR OUT RIGHT AND EVERY DEALER IS TAKING AT LEAST $2000.00 OFF OF WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH. WHY HAS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEEN RECALLED? IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED BY TOYOTA. IM HOPING THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

CAR PARKED IN SUN, DASHBOARD MATERIAL GETTING VERY STICKY/GOOEY. IF TOUCHED, IT GETS DAMAGED. IT SHOWS A VERY SHINY APPEARANCE WHEN HOT ( LIKE IF YOU USED A TIRE SHINE ON IT), ON SUNNY DAYS IT CREATES A LOT OF GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AFFECTING VISIBILITY. DASH CANNOT BE WIPED WITH ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS VERY STICKY AND GOOEY. I CAN ACCEPT DASHBOARD DAMAGE ON A 10YEAR PLUS CAR, BUT NOT ON A 4 YEAR OLD CAR.THIS IS CLEARLY A MATERIAL DEFECT AND IT PROMPTS FOR A RECALL. SPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD THE DASH CREATES WHEN IT IS VERY HOT. LOTS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS IN MANY INTERNET FORUMS. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FILL OUT A COMPLAIN TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED BY TOYOTA. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT. IT IS CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE DASH MELTING AND BECOMING SHINNY. THE DASHBOARD IS BECOMING SO SOFT THAT YOU CAN LEAVE FINGER PRINTS OR INDENTS IN IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (CRAMER TOYOTA IN VENICE FL) THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR THREE YEARS FOR THE DASH, RECOMMENDED A DASH COVER. THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE SEEN MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007-2009 CAMRY MODELS ACROSS THE COUNTRY MELTING. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY 2009. MY CAR WENT THROUGH THE RECALL SERVICES, TOYOTA HAD FOR THE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THROUGH ONE OF THEIR DEALERS. HOWEVER, ON 02/08/2013, I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WHEREIN I FELT THIS PROBLEM MYSELF. ON A BUSY ROAD I MAY HAVE BEEN DRIVING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES, MY CAR WOULDN'T STOP BUT ACCELERATED TO MAYBE DOUBLE THE SPEED AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT APPEARED AS IF THERE ARE NO BRAKES IN THE CAR.THE IMPACT WAS SO SEVERE, THAT I AM STILL NERVOUS AND SHAKEN UP WITH THE INCIDENT. THE PERSON DRIVING THE CAR I HIT, THOUGHT I WAS SPEEDING. BUT IT DEFINITELY WAS THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT YET RESOLVED AND COULD LEAD TO MANY MORE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND ON THEIR SUGGESTION TO THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE TEAM. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY, THAT THERE WERE NO PHYSICAL INJURIES IN THE ACCIDENT, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR

ON 10/19/2012, THE WINDSHIELD MOLDING ON THE UPPER DRIVER SIDE WAS SEPARATING FROM THE GLASS AND WAS CRACKING IN OTHER AREAS. THE MOLDING WAS INSPECTED BY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY QUESTIONED THE INSTALLATION OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT WAS EXPLAINED THE CAR HAS ONE OWNER AND THE WINDSHIELD HAD NOT BEEN DAMAGED OR REPLACED. I WAS TOLD I COULD HAVE IT REPAIRED FOR $400 OR COME BACK WHEN I EXPERIENCE LEAKING. I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH EITHER ANSWER ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TOYOTA PLANT, LOCATED IN KENTUCKY, INCORRECTLY INSTALLED THE WINDSHIELD AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BOTCHED INSTALLATION. AFTER RESEARCHING RECENT TSBS, I FOUND THE 09-12 TACOMA'S WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES I HAVE ON MY CAR. THE TSB 0062-12 STATES THE INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE WINDSHIELD/WINDSHIELD MOLDING WAS CAUSING WIND NOISE AND THE REMEDY WAS TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD/WINDSHIELD MOLDING. ALTHOUGH THE TSB SPECIFIES WIND NOISE AS A MINOR NUISANCE, THE DEFECT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO AFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE WINDSHIELD AS WELL AS OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS DUE TO THE FAULTY MOLDING. I AM REQUESTING THE TSB BE EXPANDED TO COVER CAMRYS EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND MAKE DEALERS RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THE DEFECT. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK WHERE I WAS TRAVELING ROUGHLY 5 MILES PER HOUR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IT WAS A FRONT SIDE IMPACT AND MY CAR WAS TOTALED. BENT THE FRAME, CRUNCHED THE FRONT PART OF THE BODY (HOOD AND SIDE WALLS), BLEW THE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, AC SYSTEM, AND MUCH MORE. I STILL HAVE PICTURES OF THE ACCIDENT OF MY VEHICLE. BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT ON THE CAR I GOT SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD. I HAVE PERMANENT KNEE DAMAGE THAT COULD NOT GET REPAIRED DUE TO LACK OF INSURANCE BECAUSE I'M A STUDENT. *TR

EVERY WEEK, I USE A COOLER (STANDARD SIZE) FOR GROCERIES AND PUT THE COOLER IN THE TRUNK OF MY CAMRY. WHENEVER I MAKE SHARP TURNS, THE LID OF THE TRUNK WOULD POP OPEN, PROBABLY BECAUSE THE COOLER HITS THE LATCH INSIDE THE TRUNK. I CONSIDER IT QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE ITEMS MIGHT FALL OUT OF THE TRUNK IF IT'S OPEN. TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM, WE PLACE PIECES OF CARDBOARD AROUND THE COOLER TO PREVENT IT FROM SLIDING AROUND. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. WE USE COOLERS ALL THE TIME AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY - INCIDENTS HAPPENED BEFORE CURRENT ACCELERATION HOOPLA. TWICE TO MY WIFE, TWICE TO ME. WHEN QUICKLY APPLYING BRAKE , FOOT TOUCHES GAS PEDAL AND CAR ACCELERATES. NEVER ON ANY OTHER CAR, INCLUDING A 2005 CAMRY HAS THIS HAPPENED. I BELIEVE THAT THE RELATION OF BOTH PEDALS TO EACH OTHER IS TOO CLOSE. ALSO THE DESIGN OF BOTH DOES NOT HELP. I DRIVE AUTOS, NOT DESIGN THEM, BUT I THINK THIS IS MORE OF A CONCERN THAN FLOOR MATS. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. *TR BOB WILLETT
