Summary of Complaint

UNKNOWN Dashborad on my Toyota is very sticky and Toyota customer service told me that there was a recall back in April 2018 and it expired in Dec 2020. They mailed me a notice but I never recieved that noticed. Because during the same time I sold my property and moved to TEXAS from California. May be that is why I did not recieved that noticed. So now my concern is What causing the dashboard to be sticky? Is there any chemical that causing the dashboard to be sticky and how it may effect if somebody's health if he is keep driving the car with sticky dashboard? Is there any way to get recall details of why the dashboard is sticky? Toyota don't want to answere any of these questions.The only thing they told me that "It was not a safety recall, it was a part of customer support program". How they decide that it was not a safety issue? Have they done any investigation and proof that it is not a safety issue? If they did then why can't they give that information to customer? So I will please request NHTSA to investigate this sticky dashboard issue to make sure there is no health safety issue. Otherwise I will be putting my and my family health on risk. If there is any health issue due to any chemical in dashboard which cause it to be sticky then this recall should have been mandotary which usually don't have any expiry. I will appreciate your cooperation and any information regarding the recall regarding this sticky dashboard and how it effect on somebody health. thanks

Summary of Complaint

-The dashboard has become very sticky and shiny and started to chip off. I noticed this after having my tire repaired the worker placed a number tag on top of dashboard and half of it was still stuck to it. When I pulled it off a couple of chunks of the dashboard came off with it. -I had noticed the dashboard was super shiny and reflected pretty bad on my windshield making it hard to see clearly while driving. I am also started noticing a weird smell when I get in my car. Like a vinegar smell. So I am also concern about inhaling any bad fumes that the melting dashboard may be emitting. -I called Toyota in Redlands about the dashboard they said Camry’s 2011 models had had issues with the dashboard and that there had been a customer support program that were fixing the dashboard and had been extended twice but I missed the last extension by a month. I had never received a notice that there was an issue with the dashboards. Supposedly Toyota sent the extended warranty in 2018. - I did inform the Toyota in Claremont after my tire service that the dashboard had been damaged after someone placed a number tag on it and they sent over a person who fixes dashboard and he was the one who also notified me that the dashboards were having an issue with the stickiness. That they had some type of recall. He ended up coming by to fix the areas that were pulled off from the paper number tag and was able to cover up the shine on the drivers side. There are still some areas that need to be filled in but he noticed that after he was done covering it up. He said I could call him if it bugs me to work on it again. The areas he filled in are noticeable.How long will the coverage even last? - I’ve been getting service done at the same location for about 10 years now and no one has ever brought to my attention that there was a recall on the dashboards or any issues with it. So I feel that Toyota was hiding this issue from consumers until we noticed something about it ourselves.

Summary of Complaint

I have a defective 'shiny' dashboard on my 2011 Toyota Camry. Apparently a recall was issued by Toyota but this was not an active campaign. The dash is so shiny that on bright days the reflection of the sun onto the front windshield is concerning. A friend recently told me about the recall but when I took the car to my local Toyota dealer I was told the recall campaign for my vehicle expired earlier in 2021. So, I want to lodge a complaint on the basis that while my Toyota dealer routinely sends me mail asking to buy back my 2011 Camry they never once told me about the recall. Clearly the dealer knows my address and many details about the vehicle I purchased from them but still they avoided telling me about my participation in the shiny dash recall.

I got my 150,000 tune, which included a computer refresh and alignment as well...well I asked for a replacement battery for my key fog and they gave a me a hard time about the battery...I just the need the battery changed on it and they said they would take care of it free of charge...when I got there they tried charging me $165 to change the battery in my key fog...which uses a round standard battery...and then they threaten me to take out the battery and then put the old one back in if I didn't comply. I ask to speak to the manager and he went ahead and did it for me like he originally had said....my dashboard after the computer refresh and key battery change my dashboard lights up with errors messages. And the car glitches and starts and shuts off when it wants to...and my alinement I got just before closing time and they reassuried me that it was good to go...and when I started driving it off the lot...it have another tire alignment on the opposite side of the car now....I've called them multiple times over and over and I've never heard anything back from them....

Summary of Complaint

MY CAMRY IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL AND IT HAS THE SAME ENGINE NUMBER INCLUDED IN ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND, OIL CHANGE WAS DONE AND I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IN A WEEK. THE FIRST CHECK UP OIL WAS ADDED BY THE TECHNICIAN (II WAS NOT TOLD HOW MUCH) AND I WAS ASKED TO RETURN IN 1000 MILES. I WAS TOLD TO ADD OIL IF NEEDED. WHEN I RETURNED FOR THIS CHECK, UP, I LET THEM KNOW THAT I HAD TO ADD A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN THE CHECK UPS. WHEN THE CSR RETURNED HE SAID WE WERE ALL SET. THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED WAS "WITHIN THE PARAMETERS ". I KNOW THIS IS NOT CORRECT! THEY SAY NOTHING IS TO BE DONE. I CAN HEAR THE TAPPING NOISES FROM THE PISTONS IN MY ENGINE ABOUT EVERY 3 DAYS OF DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF OIL. MY CAR LOOSES POWER AND STARTS ACTING SLUGGISH ETC...THIS IS DAMAGING MY VEHICLE! I HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR. I HOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. OIL CHANGED ON TIME ALONG WITH ALL SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE COMPLAINTS ON THIS TOYOTA' ENGINE. BY 2011 THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED. NOW I SEE THAT SOME OF THE CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED WHILE OTHERS HAVE NOT BEEN. IF ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. MY CAR'S VALUE IS LOWER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO KEEP ADDING 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (@ $13 00 A QUART) AS I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER AT THIS TIME.

Summary of Complaint

I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT BANK OF AMERICA IN LITHONIA, GA AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED AND I COULDN'T STOP IT UNTIL IT HIT A LIGHT POLE LOCATED BEHIND THE CAR. IT WAS A LOUD IMPACT BUT THANK GOD MY HUSBAND AND I WERE NOT INJURED NOR DID WE INJURE ANOTHER PERSON OR THEIR VEHICLE. IT WAS ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT SPARED OUR LIVES BECAUSE IT WAS AT 9:00 A.M. IN THE MORNING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE COMING IN AND OUT OF THE BANK. I HAVE HAD OTHER EPISODES OF ACCELERATION WHICH I REPORTED TO TOYOTA IN 2012 WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ACCIDENT WHICH COST 12,000 IN REPAIRS.THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I DID EXPERIENCE OCCASIONAL EPISODES OF ACCELERATION AFTER THAT INSPECTION BUT NO ACCIDENTS UNTIL FEBRUARY 1, 2020. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012.
