VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Twice: once in August and most importantly 09/07/2024 was slowing down to stop at a dry cleaners when the car reved up and accelerated forward. I continued to apply brakes all the way to the floor and couldn’t get it to stop, so ran into the businesses’s van. USAA paidfor repairs to both, but due to fears for my safety and life and those of others, I have not driven it since. I have had it towed for repairs and to be checked by an engineer sent by Toyota.and have had to rent or borrow or pay for rides up until now. The USAA sebt engineer came to check the car but decide the car was fine and Toyota would not offer help with replacement

STRUCTURE:BODY
I own a 2007 Toyota Camry Solara with less than 70,400 miles. It’s up to date on maintenance and is garaged. In December 2020, while garaged, my entire dashboard cracked without warning. After researching the condition, I learned that hundreds of Camrys and Solaras were affected and that Toyota replaced some dashboards under an extended warranty program… one such ZE6 program expired in August 2020. I was not notified. Despite the tremendous safety issue (the entirety of the car’s electronics sits beneath the dashboard including the airbags which, if deployed, can hurl dashboard pieces throughout the interior and blind and disfigure driver and passengers alike). Incredibly, neither Toyota nor NHTSA has issued a recall. Toyota Corp/dealership will do nothing at their expense. I Iive in fear that if my car is bumped or tapped, I’ll be maimed by flying dashboard debris; this puts my passengers and pedestrians at risk as well. Please help me get my dashboard replaced before something unthinkable happens. Thank you.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THIS PAST SUMMER (2020) THE DASH OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY GOT VERY STICKY AND MADE A REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD MAKING VISIBILITY IMPAIRED WHICH IS A HUGE HAZARD. YOU CANNOT SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I RESEARCHED IT TODAY AND FOUND OUT TOYOTA EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT EXPIRED IN 2017. MY PROBLEM DIDN'T START UNTIL 2020. I WANT THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND REQUIRE TOYOTA TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MONDAY JULY 30TH, I TOOK MY 2008 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE INTO HILAND TOYOTA'S DEALERSHIP IN MOLINE, ILLINOIS AND DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM OF THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT IS CURRENTLY MELTING IN MY CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THIS STARTING TO OCCUR SINCE JULY 16TH, 2018 WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN AND MY FINGERNAIL GOT CAUGHT WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. I AM ALSO BLINDED BY THE REFLECTIONS ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY THE STICKY DASHBOARD AND IT'S CREATING A FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH, EVEN WITH MULTIPLE CLEANINGS. HILAND TOYOTA OBSERVED THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE SINCE IT WAS AFTER THE MAY 31ST, 2017 EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS FILMED UP AFTER CLEANING IT THE DAY BEFORE, AND OF THE FINGERNAIL PRINT. THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED NUMEROUS TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS AND TOYOTA HAS NOT DONE MUCH ABOUT THIS ISSUE. EVEN WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF MAY 31ST, 2017, MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE MENTIONED THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SAID OWNERS ARE WAITING YEARS AFTER FIRST CONTACT TO GET REPAIRS STARTED. IN MY CASE, I CONTACTED TOYOTA (FILE NUMBER #1808222394) ABOUT FIXING THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND THEY RESPONDED THAT AFTER MAY 31ST, 2017, THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TOYOTA THAT I HAVE PURCHASED, HOWEVER, THIS DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD IS MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND MANY OTHERS AGREE, RESULTING IN LEGAL CONSEQUENCES. I AM CURRENTLY FILLING OUT A COMPLAINT WITH THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, IN CASE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN. I AM ALSO APPALLED THAT A COMPANY THAT REGARDS ITSELF AS A 'LEADER' IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY CAN LET PEOPLE WALK OFF THEIR DEALERSHIP DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR THAT THEY ENGINEERED, PRODUCED, AND OBVIOUSLY DON'T STAND BEHIND.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE USED CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE ISSUE BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION AND THE POSSIBLE ISSUES THAT MAY ARISE SHOULD I BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE REAR GLASS HEATED WINDOW LEAKS LIKE A SIVE. IT'S MOLDED UP MY TRUNK AND I HAVE TO LET THE WATER OUT BY DISLODGING THE TRUNK PLUG SO IT DOESN'T ACCUMULATE. NOT COOL, BUT I DO LOVE THE DRIVE! ADD A SCARF AND IT FEELS LIKE PARIS... WE JUST KEEP ADDING SEALANT IN BLACK TO KEEP THE WATER OUT EVERY FALL BEFORE THE RAIN KICKS IN.

THIS IS A CORRECTION TO MY COMPLAINT #11046531 WHICH CONTAINED AN INCORRECT DATE. HERE IS THE CORRECTED COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. THE DASH BEGAN TO HAVE SMALL CRACKING A FEW YEARS AGO BUT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BUT JUST THIS MONTH THE CRACKS ENLARGED AND SPREAD. I LOOKED ON LINE TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING A PROBLEM AND MANY PEOPLE HAD. I PHONED TOYOTA 800-331-4331 AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD A RECALL PROGRAM BUT IT EXPIRED MAY 31 2017 AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. THEY SAID THEY SENT ME A LETTER VIA US MAIL BUT I TOLD THEM I NEVER RECEIVED IT NOR WAS I AWARE OF THEIR RECALL PROGRAM. SHE ALSO SAID IF MY DEALERSHIP HAD NOTICED IT THEY COULD HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT IT. I HAD MY CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP 12/2015 AND THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT A RECALL PROGRAM. I GET MY OIL CHANGED SOMEWHERE ELSE CLOSER TO HOME AND DIDN'T HAVE MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER SINCE 12/2015 SO THE TOYOTA SUPPORT PERSON TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY HAVE TO DO FOR ME NOW. I FEEL TOYOTA NEVER NOTIFIED ME ABOUT THIS RECALL PROGRAM AND WOULD LIKE THEM TO FIX OR REPLACE MY DASH BOARD.
