THE CARE IS BURNING OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE. SO MUCH SO THAT THE ENGINE CAN FAIL AND SHUT DOWN DURING NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES THIS IS DANGEROUS, TO ME, MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUES AND HASN'T RECALLED THE CARS TO BE FIXED. TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY WRECKS OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE KNOW ISSUE AND SHOULD VOLUNTARY FIX ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE. .

I WAS DENIED REPLACEMENT OF A MELTED DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED (BY 2 BUSINESS DAYS). THE 2009 CAMRY DASHBOARD MELTING IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT CASTS A JARRING GLARE ONTO THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. INJURIES OR WORSE ARE IMMINENT. PLEASE ACT ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS AND ESTABLISH A RECALL FOR TOYOTA MELTING DASHBOARDS.

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED OVER TIME AND WAS NOTICED APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS BACK. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW I COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL TODAY WHEN I GOOGLED "HOW TO TREAT TOYOTA SHINY STICKY/MELTED DASH BOARD". 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.
