THE MELTING DASHBOARD WHICH CAUSES A SHINE WHICH REFLECTS INTO DRIVERS VISION IS A DANGER!!!! THE FACT THAT TOYOTA ALLOWS THIS TO GO ON, AND DOES NOT REMEDY IT FOR THOSE THAT (FOR WHATEVER REASON) MISSED THE NOTICES SENT OUT IS A DISGRACE, AND A DANGER TO NOT ONLY THE DRIVER, BUT EVERYONE ON THE ROAD!! HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL DRIVING CARS WITH THIS ISSUE?? THESE ARE ACCIDENTS JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN! MY MOTHER'S CAR DASHBOARD DID NOT BEGIN TO "MELT" UNTIL AFTER THE NOTICES WERE SENT, SO SHE DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH HERS....SURPRISE!!! IT HAS NOW BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS OR MORE. TOYOTA ONLY WANTS CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TOYOTA IN OUR FAMILY!

MY DASHBOARD HAS A STICKY FILM AND WHEN SUNLIGHT IS PRESENT IT'S HAZARDOUS TO SEE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING CONCERN WITH TOYOTA CARS BETWEEN 2007-2009. I CONTACTED TOYOTA FOR GENERAL INFORMATION FOR REPLACEMENT ON 26 OCT 19. ACCORDING TO A TOYOTA REP ON 1 NOV 19, RECALL NOTICES WERE SENT TO REGISTERED OWNERS BY REACHING OUT THROUGH THEIR LOCAL MVA IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND. ALL VEHICLES I EVER OWNED WERE ALWAYS REGISTERED BUT I NEVER RECEIVED A CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE TOYOTA. NOW THE RECALL HAS EXPIRED AND I'M RESPONSIBLE SHOULD I WANT TO MAKE THE REPAIR AND NO OTHER RESOLUTIONS. THIS WHAT I RECEIVED FROM TOYOTA AFTER BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER.

I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DASHBOARD UNTIL JUNE 2017. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BECUSE I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT WITH THE CAR. I ALSO NEVER REVEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO TOYOTA THEY SAID IT WAS STICKY AND THEY ORDERED A NEW DASHBOARD. I TOOK THE CAR IN THEN GOT A PHONECALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER MAY 2017. NOW IT IS BECOMING A SAFTEY ISSUE BECASE OF THE MELTING IT IS REFLECTING ON MY WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A SAFTEY HAZARD WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. TOYATA CORPORATE TOLD ME THEY MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS. WHAT CAN I DO?

HORRIBLE LOW-BEAM LIGHTING. TOYOTA RESPONSE IS "GIVE ME OVER $1,000 AND WE WILL REPLACE FIXTURES". I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS IN THE LAST 54 YEARS (ONE FOR 18 YRS) AND NEVER HAD HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS. TOYOTA OUGHT TO BE EMBARRASSED INTO AT LEAST REPLACING THEM AT COST. I'M GUESSING THE COATING ON THE LENS IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

MY TOYOTA DID NOT EXHIBIT THE STICKY DASHBOARD UNTIL JUNE OF 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL ONLY WENT UNTIL MAY 0F 2017 AND WAS REFUSED BY TOYOTA. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WAS A DEFINITE FACTORY DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED. NOW I HAVE THIS CONTINOUS GLARE WHICH AFFECTS BOTH DAY AND NIGHT VISABILITY.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CAMRY I'VE ALWAYS NOTICED THAT MY DASHBOARD WAS EXTREMELY STICKY AND SEEMED TO BE MELTING. MY WIFE NOTICED AND SAID IT WASN'T NORMAL SHE GOOGLE IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THE DASHBOARDS BEING DEFECTED. I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT STEP DO I NEED TO TAKE IN RECTIFYING THIS ISSUE.
