WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL OF THE GAUGES STALLED OUT WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. THE CAR GAUGES CAME BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES, PRESENTLY THE GAUGES ARE TAKING A LONGER TIME TO COME BACK ON, IN ADDITION WHILE THE GAUGES ARE OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER GOES OFF AS WELL, WHEN ALL THE GAUGES COME BACK ON THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON. WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE THE CARE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE WHEN THE GAUGES GO OFF THE CAR IS HARD TO STEER. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME CAR IS DRIVEN.

I PURCHASED A CAMRY FROM BOB (XXXX) IN 2007. THE CAR STARTED CONSUMING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL NOT LONG AFTER THE TOYOTA ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM LAUNCHED IN 2014. I DID NOT GET A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA. BOB (XXXX) INFORMED ME OF THE NEED TO RUN THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN JULY 2015; WHICH WE DID. I WAS TOLD THE TEST "PASSED" EVEN THOUGH IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THE CAR WAS BURNING A LOT OF OIL. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON OVER & OVER AGAIN. I REQUESTED A 2ND TEST IN DEC 2015 AND I WAS TOLD AGAIN THAT THE CAR "PASSED" THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. FOR 3 YEARS I COMPLAINED TO BOB (XXXX) ABOUT THE SITUATION, INCLUDING THE CAR CHOKING WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR BRAKE; OIL PRESSURE LIGHT; ENGINE LIGHT; HAVING TO ADD OIL TO MY CAR UPON DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES OR SO, ETC.. THIS ALL HAPPENED FROM 2015-2018. IN 2018, BOB (XXXX) TRIED TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS LEAKING OIL INSTEAD OF BURNING OIL. THIS WASN'T AN ACCURATE STATEMENT. SO, I WENT TO A TRUSTED INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TOOK A DETAIL LOOK AT MY CAR AND CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL AT ALL. I WENT BACK TO BOB (XXXX) & DEMANDED A 3RD OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AFTER MUCH ARGUING THEY AGREED TO IT. WE DID THE TEST AND IT FAILED IN DEC 2018. THIS CONFIRMED WHAT I KNEW ALL ALONG. YET THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM TO THE POINT WHERE THE SERVICE MANAGER WAYNE (XXXX) REFUSED TO TAKE MY CALLS. THEY TELL ME THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, WHICH IS VERY FITTING FOR THEM &TOYOTA. I CALLED TOYOTA INC. WHO ALSO REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2016. MY CAR IS BARELY AT 105,000 MILES WHICH IS BELOW THE TOYOTA EXTENDED WARRANTY LIMIT OF 150,000 MILES OR 10 YRS. THE FACT THAT I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY & WAS MISLEAD THE WHOLE TIME DID NOT COUNT FOR ANYTHING. OBVIOUSLY, THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO THE ENGINE & TO CAR OWNERS. REPAIRS ARE A MUST.

THE DASHBOARD GLARE AND STICKY FALLING APART CONDITION IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE. WE WERE NEVER INFORMED THAT TOYOTA WAS REPLACING THESE DASHBOARDS. I HAVE A 2007 CAMRY WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES ON IT AND WANT TO HAVE THE DASHBOARD REPLACED. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW IT WAS DANGEROUSLY SHINY AND STICKY AS THEY REPLACE THEM FOR 10 YEARS. THE NATIONAL TOYOTA PEOPLE TOLD ME IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THEM TO HELP ME EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE! WHAT IF ANYTHING CAN I DO?

RECENTLY PURCHASED (AUG 2017) A CAMRY AND NOTICED THE DASH WAS STICKY AND PLANNED TO CLEAN IT WITH AN ADHESIVE REMOVER; HOWEVER, IT ISN'T JUST STICKY IT HAS ACTUALLY MELTED AND BECOME SHINY CAUSING A BLINDING GLARE ON SUNNY DAYS AND WHEN MEETING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT NIGHT. CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED MAY 2017 (TOLD ME IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO HELP ME NOW). SOMETHING THAT WAS DEEMED UNSAFE AND NEEDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL ISSUED IS NO LONGER UNSAFE TWO MONTHS LATER?

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING AND HAS TAKEN ON A VERY STICKY AND SHINY APPEARANCE. EVERY LITTLE THING STICKS TO THE DASH AND IT CAN'T BE CLEANED. NOT ONLY CAN'T IT BE CLEANED, IT ALSO CREATES A LARGE DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING IN THE DAY.
