THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS MELTING AND HAS BECOME VERY SHINY CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT PARTIALLY OBSCURES THE VIEW OF THE ROAD, PARTICULARLY WHEN THERE IS BRIGHT SUNSHINE. TOYOTA ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGES THE SAFETY ISSUE AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE DASHBOARD TO 10 YEARS. MY CAR (PURCHASED NEW) DID NOT EXHIBIT THE MELTING ISSUE UNTIL AFTER WE MOVED IT FROM NORTHERN STATES, MD AND MI TO FL STARTING IN JAN 2016. THE FAILURE ONLY APPARENT AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR 10 YEARS EXPIRED IN OCT 2017. THE REFLECTION OF THE DASHBOARD UPPER SURFACE ON WINDOW IS HIGHLY DISTRACTING AND SIGNIFICANTLY OBSCURES VISION OF THE ROAD.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 CAMRY HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY SOFT AND STICKY OVER THE PAST YEAR. IT IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND FEELS LIKE YOU ARE TOUCHING THE BACK OF SOME KIND OF TAPE. EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO CLEAN. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE COURSE OF CALENDAR YEAR 2014. MY CAR DOES STAY OUTSIDE, SO PROBABLY DOES GET MORE SUN THAN IF IT STAYED IN A GARAGE; HOWEVER, A DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT START TO MELT JUST BECAUSE A CAR HAS BEEN OUT IN THE SUN. I HAVE PUT NO TYPE OF CLEANER ON THE DASHBOARD EXCEPT FOR MAYBE AN OCCASIONAL WIPE DOWN WITH ARMORALL (A PRODUCT THAT SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS SITUATION). THE MORE THE DASHBOARD MELTS AND GETS STICKY, THE MORE I HAVE NOTICED A BRIGHT GLARE COMING OFF OF IT, WHICH I AM CONCERNED COULD CAUSE SOME VISIBILITY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I KEPT MY PREVIOUS TOYOTA FOR OVER 10 YEARS, AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND THAT TOYOTA SHOULD DO THE RESPONSIBLE THING AND FIX/CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAMRY SE BEGAN TO CRYSTALLIZE AND BECAME STICKY TO THE TOUCH. IT IS NOW SO STICKY THAT THE LEAST TOUCH AND NICK PULLS THE VINYL RIGHT OFF. IT IS SO SHINY THAT IT GIVES OFF A REFLECTION WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING AS IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS IN YOUR EYES. THE GLARE MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE YOUR JUDGMENT IS AFFECTED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE DEALER. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH CAMRYS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

BEGAN NOTICING THE DASHBOARD WAS BEGINNING TO FEEL VERY STICKY & COULD NOT BE WIPED OFF. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, BUGS STICKING TO IT & NOT ABLE TO WIPE OFF. COULDN'T USE SUN SHADES AS THE BOTTOM WOULD RIP FROM BEING STUCK. THE WORST, HOWEVER, IS THE GLARE THAT CAUSES ALMOST BLINDNESS WHEN DRIVING. YOU JUST CAN'T HARDLY SEE & I BELIEVE THAT IS A DANGER & SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MINE HAS BEEN IN THIS SHAPE FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS OR MORE. *TR

my vehicle dashpad has suddenly begun to slowly melt and has become very sticky and shinny, the shininess causes a constant glare on the windshield, making it difficult and dangerous to drive especially during daylight hrs. I learned that there was a recall for this issues and contacted Toyota on 5/24/2021, and was told the recall for this issue expired in 2017, and there is nothing they will do for it now. I like to express that i purchased my vehicle in April of 2016, and was never notified of the recall, Toyota never sent me a letter informing me of the issue and i have taken my vehicle several time to the Dealer for other repair/maintenance prior to 2017 and was not informed of the recall by by them during that time. My case # with Toyota is 210524000564. i have searched the internet and also found that is a concerned issued with many other Toyota car owners. My vehicle is a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid.

CAR LURCHES FORWARD AFTER TOUCHING AN ICE PATCH AND SCARILY WANTS TO SPEED AHEAD. EVEN IN MY DRIVEWAY, IT SUDDENLY BEGINS TO SPEED FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHEN IT MERELY TOUCHES A SHEET OF ICE.

MY SOLUTION IS TO GO AS SLOWLY AS POSSIBLE UNTIL I AM ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A DEALER ON A NONICY DAY.

I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT MY CAR BEING ONE OF THOSE MODELS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE.

MY DASHBOARD HAS SOMEHOW MELTED AND IS COMPLETELY STICKY! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS STUCK TO IT AND CANNOT BE REMOVED- AN ENTIRE PIECE OF PAPER, PLASTIC PIECES, FIZZ, DIRT, ETC.. I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR. I'VE TRIED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT THE PRICE IS OUTRAGEOUS, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. MY CONCERN HAS HEIGHTENED DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC, AS I'M PARANOID THAT GERMS AND MANY OTHER THINGS MIGHT BE STUCK ON THE DASHBOARD. I'M NOT SURE HOW LIKELY THAT IS, BUT I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE A RECALL OR SOME SORT OF REPAIR ON BEHALF OF THIS ISSUE- AS IT IS A FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
