2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Unknown Or Other Problems

I drove my son’s 2009 Toyota Camry recently and encountered a serious safety concern. When driving into direct sunlight, visibility was significantly impaired due to intense glare reflecting off the dashboard and onto the windshield. The reflection made it difficult to clearly see the road ahead. This is not a cleaning or maintenance issue. The dashboard surface is no longer matte as designed. It has become glossy and reflective due to the well-documented Toyota “melting” or “sticky” dashboard defect that affected many 2009-era Toyota and Lexus vehicles. As the dashboard material degrades, it creates a reflective surface that directly contributes to dangerous glare while driving. This condition presents a genuine safety risk, particularly during sunrise and sunset, when glare is already a known driving hazard. Unfortunately, I understand that Toyota’s warranty enhancement program for this issue has expired, despite the defect continuing to pose a safety concern. I wanted to formally document this issue as a visibility and safety hazard and request guidance on whether Toyota will address this condition given its direct impact on safe vehicle operation.

The dashboard has turned into a sticky residue that reflects a blinding glair and is hazardous to see & drive. Toyota has declined to extend the recall warranty to replace the dash even though this is a hazard and has nearly caused accidents. Please help me get Toyota to make good on replacing.

My son wrecked cause of the stickiness of the dashboard the light reflected and he was in an accident . You guys mailed the safest notice to his grandmother at a assisted living facility and I have proof she didn’t get mail there so my son shouldn’t have to suffer we have already put a new motor in it and can’t deive

My grandma bought a 2009 Toyota Camry well kept she passed away in 2019 and she gave me the car what I read second owner has a 10 warranty they said there was a safety recall on the dashboard she was in a nursing home facility and that where her mail went and she was Bedfast and we have proof of that the dashboard is so sticky there is so much glare from it I’ve wrecked and I know the time frame has past but I read the owner had 10 years it is such a great car but I can’t drive it please help me I can provide proof of everything but I’m scared I will get killed

Dashboard Melted. Causes a glare and tacky texture. The dash board emits a chemical smell in the car

Dash board has become sticky due to the adhesive seeping out; causes major visual impairments while driving due to the reflection of the sun off of the sticky/disgusting/shiny dashboard.

My vehicle has been a one owner vehicle, my mother and now me as she passed on 2 April 2024. My vehicle has been stored in a garage except when it is being driven. My vehicle has been taken care of extremely well and maintenance done as required. The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles since it has been owned. Approximately in June 2024 I began to notice my dashboard was sticky, cracking and actually MELTING! It gets worse as long as it is out of the garage,in the heat/sun and humidity for any length of time. The longer times goes that the car is in these conditions it gets shiny that the reflection makes a glare which makes seeing difficult! I went to the dealership where the vehicle was purchased brand new, Milton Ruben, Augusta GA 30907. Prior to going to the dealership, I got online to do a search to see why this could be happening and discovered many complaints like mine all over the US had been submitted in previous years.I began reading the complaints and discovered the problem was due to Toyota using defective material to make their dashboards in Toyota/Lexus vehicles made in 2007-2011.I discovered there had been a recall or campaign for these vehicles, it had been extended once or twice until 2019.MY PROBLEM IS THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OR DID MY MOTHER!We would have immediately taken our vehicles into the dealership.I CANNOT HELP THAT THE RECALL OR CAMPAIGN FOR THIS ISSUE HAD EXPIRED PRIOR TO MY CAR SHOWING A PROBLEM!While reading the complaints I noticed there was a class action lawsuit filed,but I don't know the outcome.I was told by the dealership that they were aware of the problem but there wasn't anything they could do except replace the dashboard at my expense.TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!They told me that I would need to call the corporate office to see what they could do.I did, submit a claim, file #240802000525 2 Aug 2024.Toyota didn't reply but was told by the case manager that my case was closed without action. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

I bought my 2009 Camry on [XXX] new in Kentucky and have had this vehicle up to the current date of 08-02-2024. In fact, I recently acquired my deceased (2 April 2024) mother's 2009 Camry and will be submitting a claim as well. My vehicle has only been owned by myself and taken extremely good care of and stored in a garage when not being driven. Approximately in June/July 2024 I began noticing that my dashboard was becoming sticky, as though it was actually melting!!!! It would get worse as long as it was out of the garage and was in the sun, heat and humidity. The longer time goes that the car is in these conditions it gets so shiny that the reflection makes seeing difficult!!! I went to the dealership here in Augusta, GA where my mother's vehicle was purchased since I am here resolving her estate and the problem started. Prior to doing this, I got online to do a search to see why this could be happening and discovered many complaints like mine all over the US and there was actually a Class Action lawsuit submitted regarding Toyota not fixing the problem. Also, I discovered there had been a recall or campaign for the 2007-2011 Camry. It had also been extended until 2019. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION NOR HAD MY MOTHER OR I WOULD HAVE ALREADY LOOKED INTO THE MATTER EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM UNTIL NOW!!!!! I was told by the dealer to call corporate. I did and was told to submit a claim, which I did, file#[XXX] on 31 July 2024 and received a response on 1 August 2024 that there wasn't anything Toyota could do because the campaign had expired and it would be at my own expense to get repaired. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! I CAN'T HELP THAT MY PROBLEM DIDN'T START UNTIL THE CAMPAIGN EXPIRED OR I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF AN ISSUE!!!! IT IS DEFECTIVE MATERIAL AND UNSAFE ISSUES DUE TO THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!

I've been into automobile accidents and the passenger airbag never deployed. Few years back I took my vehicle for the sticky dashboard recall, Toyota replaced it. Few years later the dashboard is sticky and shiny worst than the first time, I called Toyota to get it replaced free of charge and they told me that is not the responsibility and denied to fix the replaced sticky dashboard. I almost have gotten in accidents do to the shiny glare from the dashboard.

I was driving the vehicle and hit a bump, and the driver side sunvisor dropped down into the sunshield position. I almost got in an accident because I couldn’t see and then I couldn’t get The sunvisor to stay up. This is the fourth sunvisor we have bought from Toyota. All of the three other sunvisors have done the exact same thing and I feel this is dangerous. The people at Toyota confided in me that this is a big problem with many Toyota’s. I am concerned that had my wife been driving she would have gotten in an accident because the sunvisor obstructed the view of the driver. Toyota to charge us $270 for both driver and passenger side sunvisors. Our mechanic put them in for free.

I am not complaining about my vehicle, but about the many vehicles on the road today with headlights that are not focused enough, or just TOO BRIGHT. Especially vehicles like pickup trucks that have headlights mounted at about the same height as my windshield and rear window. These vehicles headlights are so bright that they hit all my mirrors and blind me at night from behind. In addition many newer vehicles with "modern style" extra bright and auto dimming headlights as oncoming traffic also blind me to the point where I cannot safely see the road ahead. I appreciate that seeing ahead is important, but with oncoming traffic it is also important that I can see ahead safely as well. Thank You.

Dear, I am writing to formally document a complaint regarding the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) warning lights actuator in my 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid, I noticed an issue with the ABS system, which prompted the activation of the warning lights on my vehicle’s dashboard. The problem I encountered involves the following: 1. ABS Warning Lights: The ABS warning lights, including the ABS indicator and the brake system warning light, suddenly illuminated on the dashboard without any prior warning or indication of an issue. 2. Braking Performance: Subsequent to the illumination of the warning lights, I noticed a significant decrease in the vehicle’s braking performance, especially during emergency stops and when driving on slippery or wet surfaces. This issue presents a serious safety concern as it impacts the vehicle’s ability to maintain safe braking in various conditions. confirming the ABS actuator as the likely source of the problem. I kindly request that this complaint be addressed promptly, as I believe that a malfunctioning ABS system poses a substantial safety risk to both the driver and other road users. I trust that Toyota’s commitment to customer safety and satisfaction will lead to a quick resolution of this matter. Please contact me at [XXX] or [XXX] to schedule the necessary repairs or to discuss any additional information required. I look forward to your prompt response and a resolution to this pressing issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I own a 2009 Toyota Camry with VIN [XXX]. The dashboard is hazardous i.e. sticky and shiny which makes it hard for me to see through the windshield going toward sunset or the sun is over the dashboard. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Dashboard is sticky when cold and hot, we have done our best to keep it clean but i have had enough it was hot and my kid leaned on it and it was super hot and the material literally got stuck to her arm and the back of her shirt. I would like this to get taken care off, is not right that they were created this way and people suffer the consequences

My Black 2009 Camry SE has a black sticky/melting dash which Toyota only covered replacement of for a 10 yr period. I didn’t drive it much for the first several years, the odometer now has only 90,000 miles. The sticky dash became an increasingly noticeable safety hazard a couple of years ago. When driving with the sun hitting the sticky, melting, shiny black dash, the glare is blinding to where I cannot see the road. The sun causes the dash to be reflected off the windshield. Yes, the safety of anyone in the car is at risk when the sun is coming through the windshield. It is available for inspection any time. The Rick Hendrick Toyota dealer I used for my cracked dash 4 Runner informed me that if I had been having the Camry regularly serviced at a Toyota dealer then Toyota would have likely covered the dash replacement after the recall period ended. I brought the Camry into Stone Mountain Toyota to replace the recalled brake lamp assembly in Nov 2021. They failed to replace it adequately and so a mile from the dealership the Camry would not move after I stopped at a stoplight. So, no, I have not had either of these Toyota dealers, or any others confirm the issue, since they weren’t going to replace it under warranty anyway. Neither dealer asked to confirm the issue. My wife has confirmed the sticky dash safety glare issue. No warning messages light up when the dash is a safety hazard. Toyota Corp refused to warranty/recall replacement in 2020/2021 even though I explained this safety issue. Today, Dec 7, 2022 I called Toyota Corp again and they again refused to cover replacement of the dash under warranty/recall and referred me to NHTSA.

Dashboard melting causing sticky and glare on windshield on my 2009 Toyota camary causes blind spots when driving afraid of having accident

I currently a 2009 toyota camry I was financed a year ago not even a year ago. from TKP autos in eastlake, ohio. this car consumes too much oil, so I use marvel mystery oil so every 2300-3k miles I have to change the oil.. also my key fob stopped working, i changed the batteries and they still dont work also the o2 sensors went as well and replaced them twice and they still keep stop working also i found a lot of information on consumer reports that the years 2007-2009 toyota camrys are highly unreliable cars to own or lease. ive seen a lot of complaints and other owners who had the engine sieze on them as well.. these cars are a lemon and not safe to drive also my dash board is very sticky as well from the sun and it turns out that is a melting affect that is dangerous as well also i see the accelerator pedal can give away and that is dangerous as well there should be recalls for the oil consumption and everything else.

Sticky, shiny dash on Camry due to manufactuing defect.

Sticky, shiny, melting dash on camry from manufacturing defect. No recall just a now expired extended warranty. Glare on windshield leaves driving car very dangerous

The vehicle dashboard is tacky and has been for some time. The reflection from the sun emitting off the dashboard impairs visibility while driving. Even wearing sunglasses does not fully deflect the sun glare from the dashboard making it difficult to see cars in front of me or traffic signals. I believe this issue because the dashboard is so hot, it affected my CD player which is no longer working, a cd is stuck in the player and the button to eject does not respond. Yes my vehicle can be inspected upon request. A few years ago, I inquired with a licensed mechanic what the issue was and he stated there was nothing I could do to remedy the situation. I contacted Toyota when I first realized the issue, they stated that there was a recall on the dashboard and the time had past to get it replaced. I informed them that I did not receive a recall notification and they could not tell me why. I am very frustrated that Toyota will not take responsibility for replacing my dashboard.

The Car dashboard has become sticky and shines during day light and reflects in front glass and visibility is disturbed.

The dashboard has become sticky and shiny. When driving while sunny the dashboard reflects into the windshield making it hard to see. This happened for the first time in 2017, but it is an ongoing problem.

I am the original owner of a 2009 Toyota Camry. The dashboard which started melting in 2020 has caused a shiny film on the dashboard resulting in a shiny glare on my windshield when the sunlight hits the dashboard. This glare completely covers a portion of the windshield which prevents me from viewing the roadway ahead of me. Toyota has entered settlements ( extending its' warranty to Mid 2017 )several lawsuits, but does live up to its' agreement. Toyota has breached settlement agreement by not providing the Toyota Dealers with dashboard replacements in timely manner. Since my dashboard did not start deteriorating until 2020 I have been informed by Toyota that since the warranty time period has expired, that they will not pay for the cost to replace the dashboard. deterioration was a latent defect. Time for NHTSA to get involved: Investigate and then issue a National recall of the dashboards. Email: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Toyota has made empty promises to those who filed prior to Mid 2017 and refuses to even make promises to those who file after that date. Whittier Toyota will be inspecting the vehicle Monday July 19 2021 and will issue me a report of the deteriorating dashboard and cost to replace it. Google: Toyota Dashboard melting for obtain postings of various lawsuits in this matter.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE DASH WAS DAMAGED, IT JUST LOOKED SHINY BUT UPON MY CLEANING IT THE FIRST TIME MY CLEANING CLOTH STUCK TO IT THIS IS WHEN I REALIZED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE CAR LOT WASN'T RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE IT WAS AN AS-IS SALE. THIS HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I CAN BARELY SEE TO DRIVE WHEN THE SUN HITS THE DASH IT CAUSES A TERRIBLE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TO TRY AND LOOK OVER IT AND TO THE SIDE OF IT AND IT'S NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. YESTERDAY WAS REALLY A CLOSE CALL AND THAT IS THE REASON THAT I'M TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM NOW, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE AND NOT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD PUT SOMETHING ON IT'S I HAD THOUGHT. I'M SENDING A PICTURE ALONG WITH THIS. THE ENTIRE DASH IS LIKE THIS BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE IS THE WORST.

VEHICLE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AMD CRACKING. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MELTING BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD IS NOW EXTREMELY SHINY AMD THE REFLECTION MAKES VISIBILITY LIMITED, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SUN IS DIRECTLY HITTING IT. I ALSO FEAR THAT THE CRACKS HAVE POSSIBLY DAMAGED THE AIRBAG ITSELF, MEANING IF IT WERE TO EVER DEPLOY WILL IT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. THIS STARTED YEARS AGO, AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND WHERE A RECALL WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER TOYOTA NEVER NOTIFIED ME, THEY MAIL THE CORRESPONDING INFORMATION TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THIS WAS VERIFIED WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA DIRECTLY. THEY WOULDN'T TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE MISTAKE OR THE SAFETY ISSUE AND ADVISED ME THEY WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE THE RECALL IS EXPIRED. I'M CONFUSED HOW A SAFETY RECALL CAN EXPIRE WHEN REAL DRIVERS, LIKE MYSELF, ARE STILL HAVING THESE ISSUES BECAUSE MANY OF THESE CARS ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. MY CAR IS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WITH ONLY 120K MILES. STILL ALOT OF LIFE LEFT, SO THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AMD FIX THESE SAFETY ISSUES FOR CONSUMERS.

WHILE DRIVING, ON BRAKING, THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A GRINDING/RUBBING NOISE APPEARING TO COME FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE NOISE SEEMED AS IF THE VEHICLE ENGINE/MOTOR WAS GOING TO SEIZE UP OR SOMETHING WOULD BREAK INSIDE. SLOWLY TOOK IT TO A LOCAL TIRE KINGDOM REPAIR SHOP WHO WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ONCE THEY STARTED THE VEHICLE AND WERE ALARMED BY THE ENGINE NOISE. ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO AN ENGINE REPAIR SHOP. SLOWLY, CAUTIOUSLY DROVE HOME AND PARKED. ON STARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE, NEXT DAY, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO RUN FINE ON PARKED AND NEUTRAL. ON SHIFTING TO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE RUBBING/GRINDING NOISE BEGINS AGAIN. HAVE BEEN RESTRAINED TO SITTING AT HOME INSTEAD OF DOING MY RIDE SHARING AND DELIVERY WORK. RECENTLY HAD THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAM SHAFT GEAR REPLACED.

MY DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY STICKY AND IS CAUSING A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THERFORE MAKING IT DANGEROUSLY TO DRIVE. THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED INTO ASAP! I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE CLEANERS AND NOTHING WORKS! #RECALL TOYOTA!I

THE DASHBOARD IN OUR 2009 CAMRY HAS GOTTEN EXTREMELY STICKY. I WAS CLEANING THE CAR YESTERDAY SINCE WE ARE SHORTLY PASSING THE CAR ONTO OUR SON. WHEN I WENT TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARD, I NOTICED THE STICKINESS, WORSE IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS. WE DID RECEIVE THE 2015 LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE DASHBOARD ISSUE BUT AS STATED IN THE LETTER IN BOLD, RED PRINT 'IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE CONDITION DESCRIBED, THERE IS NO ACTION NECESSARY AT THIS TIME.' WE HAD NO DASHBOARD PROBLEM AT THE TIME SO THERE WAS NO REASON TO CONTACT TOYOTA. NOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM! THE GLARE AND ODOR FROM THIS ISSUE IS NOW A SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE. ANOTHER CONCERN IS HOW THIS DASHBOARD ISSUE AFFECTS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND THE AIRBAG UNDERNEATH. TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT CARE IF A VEHICLE IS 5 DAYS OLD, 5 YEARS OLD, OR 50 YEARS OLD, A STICKY, MELTING DASHBOARD SHOULD NEVER BE A PROBLEM. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM!

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY. IT MAKES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD AND IS HARD TO SEE AT TIMES AND I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE FOR FREE.

THE DASH IS MELTING AND CAUSES A GLARE NIGHT AND DAY. IT'S LIKE IT IS HIGH GLOSS. I WAS NEVER SENT ANYTHING IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TWO CAMRYS AND BOTH ARE THE SAME. THIS STARTED IN 2016, I THOUGHT THE PEOPLE AT AUTO BELL SCREWED MY CAR UP FOR A COUPLE YEARS UNTIL I STOPPED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

I CHECK THE OIL WEEKLY IN THE VEHICLE DESPITE IT BEING DRIVEN SPORADICALLY. THE OIL BURNS OFF QUICKLY AND I HAVE TO REPLACE FREQUENTLY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME.

DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY. THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD AT TIMES IS ALMOST A DISTRACTION. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL SOME TIME AGO, BUT WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OR NOTIFIED FROM TOYOTA

DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND MELTED INTO A GLOB WHICH HINDERS MY ABILITY TO SEE AND I CALLED IN 2017 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND WAS TOLD I WAS A MONTH TOO LATE WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. IT'S PROGRESSED EVEN MORE IN THE PAST THREE YEARS TO THE POINT I HAD TO PUT SOMETHING ON IT TO MAKE THE GLARE GO AWAY. IT LOOKS SO TACKY AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

DASHBOARD IS STCIKY AND SHINES THR REFLEXION OF THE SUN WHILE DRIVING, AT THE POINT WHERE IT BECOMES HARD TO SEE

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. PLEASE INTERVENE AND HELP ME GET THIS FIXED.

STICKY DASHBOARD

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS MELTING AND IS VERY SHINY AND STICKY. WHEN THE SUN OR HEADLIGHTS HIT THE WINDSHIELD IT IS BLINDING AND I CAN'T SEE. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH HOT SOAPY WATER, AS I WAS INSTRUCTED, BUT IT WILL NOT COME OFF.

I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT MY CAMRY'S DASH BOARD. IT HAS BECOME VERY DISTURBING DUE TO IT LITERALLY MELTING. I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH MY DASH BOARD WITHOUT MY FINGERS AND HANDS GETTING STUCK TO IT. MY CAR IS A DAILY DRIVER BUT THE TEXAS HEAT HAS RUINED WHAT I TRY TO KEEP IN PRISTINE CONDITION.

IN OUR 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY, THERE WAS A TEMPORARY DASH REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. IT WAS CONSIDERED A WARRANTY EXTENSION AS OPPOSED TO A RECALL AND IT WAS A LIMITED TIME WHERE OWNERS COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT REPAIRED DURING THAT LIMITED TIME SPA. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THIS PAST YEAR AND UPON PURCHASING AND SPENDING A SUMMER IN SAN ANTONIO WITH MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY I EXPERIENCED WHAT THE DASH RECALL/TOYOTA REPLACEMENT POLICY WAS INTENDED TO REPAIR. THE DASH TURNS TO MUSH IN THE HEAT AND IT IS VERY, ALMOST MALLEABLE. FROM A SAFETY STANDPOINT, IT CREATES A GLARE THAT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE FROM THE DRIVERS POINT OF VIEW AND FURTHERMORE THERE'S BEEN REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING BECAUSE OF THE MELTING DASH. I SPOKE WITH TOYOTA ABOUT POSSIBLY HELPING ME REPAIR MY DASH AND THEY SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE MANUFACTURES DAMAGES. I WANTED TO FILE A CLAIM FOR RECONSIDERATION IN HOPES THAT THEY WOULD BE LIABLE FOR REPLACING ANYTHING THAT COULD POTENTIAL HE BE A HAZARD OR A DANGER TO MY FAMILY.

STICKY DASHBOARD, MELTING DASHBOARD THAT HAS MADE ALSO MOVED SOME STICKINESS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD REDUCING VISIBILITY.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO REPORT A STICKY, MELTING DASHBOARD. I CALLED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO TO REPORT THIS BUT IT WAS STATED THAT NO RECALLS WERE OUT ON THIS. I SAW ON THE NEWS LAST WEEK ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND I CALLED AGAIN ON 8/5/2019 AND WAS TOLD AGAIN THAT NO RECALLS WERE OUT. I USE A SUN GUARD FOR MY WINDSHIELD BUT THAT ONLY HELPS MINIMALLY. MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE NO SOLUTIONS. HOW DO I PROCEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

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

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

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

Mileage: 130,000

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

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT IT WON'T STAY IN UP POSITION OR FULLY TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD EITHER. IT IS REALLY A VISIBILITY ISSUE BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO MEET THAT CRITERIA. I AM SURE THAT THEIR WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SOME YEARS BACK, BUT IT IS NOT LISTED ON THE NHTSA OR TOYOTA WEBSITES.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION (EXTREMELY BAD).

TOYOTA IS AWARE THAT THEY MANUFACTURED THIS CAR AND OTHERS WITH A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUED FOR THIS. THE MELTED DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE IN THE WINDOW MAKING DRIVING UNSAFE AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS. PLUS, THE GOEY DASHBOARD MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO FAIL. RATHER THAN RECALLING THE DEFECTIVE CARS AND REPLACING THE DASHBOARDS ON ALL THESE CARS, TOYOTA CHOSE TO OFFER A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. FIRST OF ALL, I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THIS WARRANTY, BUT IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE IF I WOULD HAVE, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN MY CAR 2 MONTHS AFTER THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED. CAR BRAKES WEAR OUT, TIRES NEED REPLACING, DASH BOARDS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO MELT! I IMAGINE TOYOTA EXPECTS THE DASHBOARDS TO MELT IN MOST CARS AFTER 10 YEARS AND THIS IS WHY THEY OFFERED A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. THEY CAN NOW PROFIT FROM THEIR OWN MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER IN AUGUST 2017 WITH THE PROBLEM EXISTING BUT DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL. TOYOTA INFORMED ME TODAY THAT THEY SENT A NOTICE TO OWNERS IN 2014 BUT I DIDN'T OWN THE CAR IN 2014 SO NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE. IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET THIS COVERED? IT'S GROSS. I CAN'T FIND ANY WAY TO FIX IT WITHOUT TEARING THE DASHBOARD OUT AND REPLACING IT MYSELF AND I'M NOT GOOD AT THAT. I CAN SEND YOU PICTURES OF THE NASTINESS. THE FORM ASKS WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

SHINY/STICKY/MELTING DASHBOARD RECALL ON TOYOTA CAMRY. MY MOTHER HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR THREE YEARS. BEING THAT SHE HAS A LANGUAGE BARRIER SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL. TOYOTA STATES THEY SENT HER TWO NOTICES IN 01/15 AND 10/15, WHICH SHE CANNOT RECALL RECEIVING AND WOULDNT HAVE UNDERSTOOD IF THEY WERE IN ENGLISH. NOW SHE DRIVES AROUND WITH THIS DASHBOARD REFLECTING OFF HER WINDSHIELD AT NIGHT AND SOMETIMES DURING THE SUNNY DAYS SO MUCH THAT ITS HARD FOR HER TO SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND I BELIEVE SHE CAN POTENTIALLY GET INTO AN AUTO ACCIDENT. TOYOTA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD OR RECALL, BUT IT SHOULD BE. THE WARRANTY SHOULD REMAIN OPEN UNTIL ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM ARE FIXED!! IF MY MOTHER HAS AN ACCIDENT, TOYOTA SHOULD BE LIABLE!!! TOYOTA SAYS THE EXTENSION FOR THIS WARRANTY ENDED JUST LAST MONTH 07/18, BUT AFTER THE TWO NOTICES IN 2015 THEY NEVER SENT FURTHER NOTICES.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 77 SOUTH, JUST NORTH OF BOILVAR, OH, 70 MPH, HEARD LOUD EXPLOSION. THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE. CHECKED TO FIND IT WAS MY MOON ROOF. IT SHATTERED TO PIECES. THE HOLE WAS THE SIZE OF A BASKETBALL, WITH REMAINING GLASS CRACKED TO THE POINT IT CRUMBLED TO THE TOUCH. NO OTHER CARS, TRUCKS, OR FOREIGN OBJECTS WERE NEAR ME. THE GLASS SIMPLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS NEARBY, BOTH SIDES OF ROAD WERE WOODS AND I WAS IN A RURAL AREA. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND I'M THE ONLY OWNER. I WILL CONTACT LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AS I USE MY CAR DAILY. DATE OF INCIDENT 8/26/18, TIME ABOUT 8:40 A.M. NO INJURIES, OTHER THAN MONETARY. THE INTERIOR SLIDE COVER, UNDER MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED. MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED. NO POLICE REPORT FILED. I COVERED THE AREA WITH PLASTIC AND DUCT TAPE WHILE ON THE ROAD. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I REMOVED THE DISTRESSED GLASS, SWEPT THE AREA, AND WILL SEE TOYOTA AND GLASS REPAIR FACILITY TOMORROW (MONDAY 8/27/18).

THE "DASH PANELS" OF MY CAR IS MELTING AND IT IS ALL STICKY, DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES, WHICH IS A DANGER BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL PARTS THAT ARE UNDER IT.

STICKY DASH 'NOTIFICATION' OR LACK THEREOF, I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY TO ASK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THE CAR IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF THE SECONDARY WARRANTY I'M SCREWED AND STUCK WITH A STICKY, STINKING (COSTLY -$1600) MESS. I'VE TRIED CLEANING IN WITH NUMEROUS PRODUCTS SAFE FOR THE MATERIAL TO NO AVAIL, THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING ON IT. I DECIDED TODAY TO GOOGLE AND SEE IF I COULD FIND A CLEANER/RESOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. I WORK LONG HOURS AND HONESTLY DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE DASH. THE DASH HAS EVEN STARTED TO CRACK. I LIVE IN HOT, HUMID ALABAMA AND PICKING DEAD FLIES ETC FROM THE STICKY MESS ISN'T AN EASY OR ENJOYABLE JOB.

I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SENT OUT A LETTER STATING THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION TO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT AS AN OWNER I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION OF THIS WARRANTY. I'VE HAD VERY VISUAL DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN. THE DASHBOARD IS CONSTANTLY BEING DAMAGED WHEN WIPED WITH A CLEAN/WET CLOTH. TOYOTA NOW STATES I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE I MISSED THE WARRANTY BY 13 BUSINESS DAYS. THIS IS A HORRENDOUS BUSINESS PRACTICE TO NOT REPLACE A KNOWN ISSUE. IT HAS BECOME A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.

I SAW ONLINE THIS HAS EFFECTED CARS FROM 2007 TO 2011. SO IF YOU OWN ONE IN THIS YEAR RANGE YOU BASICALLY HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY WEEK OR TWO.

MOTOR OIL IS BURNING EXCESSIVELY I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY WEEKEND AND THE DEALER SAYS IS NORMAL, I THINK IS NOT NORMAL TO KEEP ADDING OIL WHEN THERE IS NO LEAK. DASHBOARD IS PRACTICALLY MELTING IT WAS REPORTED BACK IN MAY BECAUSE IN THE SUMMER TIME IT GETS VERY STICKY THE DEALER SAYS IT WILL TAKE MONTHS OR A YEAR BEFORE THEY COULD FIX IT. RADIO HAS A MALFUNCTION IT WAS REPLACED BACK IN 2014 BECAUSE THE SCREEN TURN BLACK AND NOT ABLE TO TURN IT ON OR OFF.

I RECEIVED 1ST NOTICE FROM TOYOTA MOTOR REGARDING FACTORY WARANTY EXTENSION BECAUSE OF STICKY DASHBOARD ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I RECEIVED 2ND NOTICE LAST SPRING AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTO SERVICE AND VERIFIED THAT MY CAR DASHBOARD NEED TO BE REPKACED. THE PUT THE LINE FOR REPLACEMENT AND THEY WERE GOING TO NOTIFY ME. IT WAS APRIL 2016. WHEN I CALLED SEVICE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS THEY SAID IT BACK ORDER AND WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEN I DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTO MOTOR CUSTEMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID MY ORDER WAS IN THE LINE AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT WILL BE IN SERVICE. I SAID OK. TWO DATS AGO I CALLED TOUOTO MOTOR AND ASK WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE DELIVERED. THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW IT IS BACK ORDER. THEY SAID I AM GOING TO BE NOTIFIED. I WANTED TO TALK THEIR MANEGER . THEY SAID THEIR MABAGER WILL CALL ME. TODAY I HAVE RECEIVED CALL. SHE REPEATED SAME THINGS. IT IS BACKORDER THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE REPLACED. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED NOW. I DON'T THING THAT THEY HAVE PLAN TO SATISFY THEIR CUSTOMER. THEY JUST ACT LIKE THEY TAKING CARE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IF COURT ORDER. I SEARCGED MANY TOYOTO OWNER ARE WAITING FOR TOYOTO SERVICES CALL THEM FIR DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT BUT I BELIVE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS ACTION. GOVERMENT OFFICES MYST START INVESTIGATION AND CLARIFY WHAT ACTION AND HOW MANY CARS DASHBOARD PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SOLVED AFTER THE COURT ORDER. IT WAS SAFETY PROBLEM AND MY GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUSH TOYOTO TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL TRY TO FIND THE COURT, THE FEDERAL JUDGE AND INFORM THAT TOYOTO LYING MANY TOYOTO OWNER AND THEY DON'T TAKE SERIOUS ACTION TO SOLVE IT. THEIR ONLY ANSWER THE IT IS BACKORDER PART. YOU HAVE TO ORDER THAT HOW MANY CARS' DASHBOARD HAVE VEEN REPLACED OVER KAST 2 YEARS. THE NUMBER WILL GIVE IDEA HOW MUCH THEY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. IT IS BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF SHINY DASHBOARD.

MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR JUST BROKE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT'S A 2009, BUT PURCHASED IN 2008. FINALLY GOT MY DASHBOARD REPLACED LAST WEEK ALF ASKED ABOUT THE VISOR.

ON OCTOBER 27, 2015 I NOTICED A RED LIGHT ON LEFT SIDE OF DASHBOARD SAYING MAINT REQD.GOOGLE SAYS TIME FOR OIL CHANGE. STICKER FROM TOYATO SAYS NEXT OIL CHANGE 95,330 MILES, IM ONLY 94,100 OR CLOSE. IS THERE A RECALL. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN OIL PROBLEM, WINDSHIELD WIPER AND SUN VISOR PROBLEM, WHICH I HAD NOT RECOGNIZED THE OIL PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP HAD JUST NEGLECTED TO PUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF OIL IN DOING THE OIL CHANGE. PRIOR TO PROBLEM I RECEIVED POSSIBLE RECALL NOTICE FOR SOMETHING ELSE . CAMPAIGN # ID#15V577 REFERENCE # 878051. I WILL BE CALLING TOYOTA (AUTONATION) IN PINELLAS PARK ABOUT PROBLEM. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHENEVER I START UP THE ENGINE AND STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 2 TO 3 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR CONSTANTLY DROOPS AND SAGS, UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CLOSED POSITION. U.S. MADE CAMRYS WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL. THIS SUBJECT CAMRY WAS MADE IN JAPAN IMPORTED TO U.S.

IN SPITE OF KEEPING SUN SHADES UP ALL THE TIME THE CAR IS PARKED, MY DASHBOARD IS INCREASINGLY STICKY AND MELTING. THE SHINY GLARE THAT HAS DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS IN MY EYES AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY.

STEERING WHEEL STARTED VIBRATING ON REACHING THE SPEED OF 60 MPH. IT WAS MORE PROMINENT WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT WHILE IT WAS NOT AS MUCH WHILE NEGOTIATING THE BENDS. HOWEVER, NO VIBRATION WAS FELT AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE GOT BOTH FRONT AND REAR ROTORS AND BREAK PADS CHANGED RECENTLY, ALL WHEELS HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND ALIGNMENT DONE. I WONDER IF THE MANUFACTURER WOULD TAKE CARE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE AND RECOMMEND REMEDY.

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. IN 2013 OR 2014 TOYOTA REPAIRED THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR IS DROOPING, IT HANGS FREELY AND WILL NOT REMAIN IN EITHER THE UP OR DOWN POSITION. TOYOTA SAYS THEY CAN'T REPAIR THIS SINCE THE CAR IS MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OLD.

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 VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY RESIDENCE. THERE WERE 2 HOLES IN THE IN THE REAR WINDOW;ONE WAS EXTRA LRGE AND THE OTHER SMALL. THE REST WAS SHATTERED, BUT STILL INTACT. THE POLICE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THERE WAS FOUL PLAY, BUT FOUND NONE.THEY FOUND ROCKS OR OR ANYTHING ELSE IN THE CAR THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE HOLES ETC. THE POLICE REPORT NUMBER IS 152829-OF. WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR THE WHOLE THING CAVED IN. THE OFFICERS TAPED UP THE REAR FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER.

THE SUN VISOR IN DRIVER SIDE DEFECT , LOOSE AND MAY BLOCK DRIVER'S VISION

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL: OVER THE LAST YEAR I NOTICED MY OIL CONSUMPTION WAS DRASTICALLY INCREASING. I STARTED BURNING THROUGH OIL AND HAVING TO ADD A QUART EVERY 2 MONTHS AND NOW MONTHLY. IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, A VERY LARGE PLUME OF WHITE SMOKE WOULD SPEW OUT OF MY TAIL PIPES; NOT JUST A LITTLE BUT A LARGE CLOUD OF SMOKE. IT HAS A VERY BURNT SMELL TO IT TOO. THE SMOKE DISSIPATES AFTER THE CAR WARMS AND AS LONG AS THE CAR IS WARM, IT WILL NOT SMOKE. IT ONLY SMOKE WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF FOR OVER 2-3 HOURS. I WAS TOLD BY A CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO FAULTY INTERNAL PARTS. HE STATED IT WAS THE REASON FOR SUCH A HIGH LEVEL OF OIL CONSUMPTION. I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY RECALLING CERTAIN ENGINE BLOCKS DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION DEFECTS, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL AS OF NOW. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA, MY VIN COULD EVENTUALLY BECOME PART OF THE RECALL (OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL) BUT AS OF NOW, IT IS NOT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A MAJOR MANUFACTURER WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIR MY ENGINE CONSIDERING THEY ARE ALREADY RECALLING OTHER ENGINES WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY CAMRY. THIS WAS MY FIRST CAMRY TOO. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA.

THE DASHBOARD TO MY CAMRY IS VERY STICKY. I LIVE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE GLARE ON THE WIND SHIELD CAUSED BY THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS SO BAD I HAVE TO LEAN TO MY RIGHT WHILE DRIVING IN ORDER TO SEE BETTER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I NEED SOME INFORMATION ASAP ON GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. IT'S A SHAME THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT CORRECT THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS/DEATHS HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE!?

TOYOTA CAMRY 2009. WHEN DASH HEATS UP IT STARTS SHINNING AND CAUSE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD, IT CAUSES OBSTRUCTIVE VISION TO THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY OF THE ROADWAY. IN ADDITION, THE MATERIAL ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD BECOME VERY STICKY AND APPEARED TO BE MELTING. GLARE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATED ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE POWER OFF BUTTON. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR; DODGE TRUCK W/TRAILER HITCH STOPPED ON A DIME; I RAN INTO BACK OF TRUCK; BUT THEN MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD ON ITS OWN ACCORD AND I HIT THE TRUCK A SECOND TIME. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT LUNGED! CAR IS IN THE SHOP BUT I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND OUT WHAT THE COST OF DAMAGE WILL BE OR THE TIME FRAME FOR REPAIRS. IT HAS LUNGED BEFORE; BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *TR

LAST YEAR ON AUGUST 2012, MY CAR STOP RUNNING AND I BROUGHT TO ONE OF THE MECHANIC THAT TOWED AND FIXED MY WATER PUMP. THIS YEAR, I BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER FOR SOME RECALLS AND FIND OUT THAT MY ANTIFREEZE IS ENTERED TO MY WATER PUMP AGAIN AND NEED TO REPLACE WITH NEW ONE... TOTAL COST WILL BE MORE THAN 650.00 DOLLARS. I WONDER IF THERE ANY RECALL FOR THIS MATTER BEFORE OR DO I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY YEARS!!! PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. THANKS *TR

PRIOR TO THESE INCIDENTS, THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ON THEIR RECALL. I WAS TRAVELING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. I APPROACHED A SLIGHT INCLINE IN THE ROAD AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED AS NORMAL. TACHOMETER WENT FROM 2000 RPM TO 3000 RPM. THEN SUDDENLY THERE WAS A SUDDEN UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION IN WHICH THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO 4500 RPM AND THE ENGINE WAS SCREAMING AS THOUGH IT WAS ABOUT TO BLOW APART. MY FOOT WAS NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FLOOR MAT HAD BEEN REMOVED PER THE DEALER INSTRUCTIONS. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH STOPPED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. IF THIS HAD BEEN ON A WET HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC THERE WOULD SURELY HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SAME INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPORTED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH TOYOTA, THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL MAKE A RECORD OF MY INCIDENTS BUT, TOYOTA WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS HAD TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM OR THE COMPUTER/SOFTWARE CONTROLLING IT.

LEAKING FRONT STRUTS: I REPORTED THE FINDING TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (SCOTT TOM TOYOTA, NAMPA, IDAHO) AND ALSO CALLED THE MAIN TOYOTA CUSTOMER CENTER. THE LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE ASSOCIATE CONFIRMED THE EXISTENCE OF THE LEAKAGE. I WAS TOLD THE AMOUNT OF THE LEAKAGE IS "SMALL," "NORMAL," NO NEED TO REPAIR AT THIS POINT, AND IF I WANT TO HAVE IT REPLACED THEN ITS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE LEAKING STRUTS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON TO TOYOTA CAMRY AND MAY POSE POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE.
