ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHT GO OUT. IF I TURN THEM OFF THEN BACK ON THEY COME ON. SOME TIMES THIS HAPPENS EVERY MINUTE OR SO AND SOMETIME THEY WORK FINE. I HAVE REPLACED THE LEFT LOW BEAM THINKING I HAD A BAD LIGHT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURE. *TR

STRUCTURE
THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE HAS PERFORMED TERRIBLY TO NORMAL HEAT, MAKING IT VERY SHINY AND REFLECTIVE. DURING DAY TIME DRIVING THE SUN REFLECTS ON THE DASHBOARD MAKING VISIBILITY IMPOSSIBLE AT TIMES. AT NIGHT STREET LIGHTS REFLECT ON THE DASHBOARD MAKING VISIBILITY POOR. WHEN LIGHT LEVELS ARE BRIGHT AND IT IS RAINING, VISIBILITY IS ZERO AT TIMES. *TR

SEAT BELTS
JUST WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING THE DRIVER SEAT BELT TO CLASP. IT TAKE A FEW TRIES, BUT FINALLY DOES. BUT, IT DOE NOT SEEM SECURE AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT MAY BECOME UNCLAPSED WHILE DRIVING. IN THE PAST IT ALWAYS WORKED FINE AND THE CLASP SEEMED MUCH MORE SECURE. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OTHER DRIVER HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS. I SINCERELY APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR GUIDANCE YOU COULD GIVE ME. *TR THANK YOU. *TR

STRUCTURE
SEVERAL LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASH PAD THAT GO ENTIRELY ACROSS THE DASH AND THE AREA BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. CONCERN IS THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING WITHOUT A CRASH. THOUGH I ENTERED AN INCIDENT DATE THIS IS JUST AN APPROXIMATE TIME AS TO WHEN THE DASH BEGAN TO SHOW THE CRACKING.... *TR

STRUCTURE
THE DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKED ON BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE. THE CRACKS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, BUT THEN HAVE RE-OPENED AGAIN. THEY ARE UNSIGHTLY AND I HAVE FURTHER CONCERNS THAT THEY MAY INTERFERE WITH ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS AND OTHER PARTS UNDER THE DASHBOARD SHOULD THE CRACKS CONTINUE TO GROW. I HAVE ADDITIONAL CONCERNS THAT THE CRACKS MAY RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUES. THE CRACKS HAVE BEEN EVIDENT SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2006. *TR

STRUCTURE
THE HORIZONTAL DASHBOARD SURFACE UNDER THE WINDSHIELD IS MELTING. IT BEGAN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AS A "STICKY" PROBLEM AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY DETERIORATED. THE GLARE MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE IN SUNNY CONDITIONS BECAUSE IT INTERFERES WITH THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THIS MAKES IT HAZARDOUS FOR ME TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO REMOVE THE STICKINESS BUT NOTHING WORKS. THE PROBLEM IS PARTICULARLY ACUTE DURING WARM CONDITIONS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FUNDAMENTAL DEFECT IN THE PART AND SHOULD BECOME PART OF A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE. *TR

GLARE ON WINDSHIELD CAUSED FROM MELTING DASHBOARD, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE A PERSON WALKING NEAR THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND NOW THINK THIS WILL EFFECT HOW THE AIRBAG MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT WORK IF ACTIVATED, MY CAR IS DEALER SERVICED TO THE MANUFACTURES REQUIREMENTS BY TOYOTA. MY CAR IS IN 1ST CLASS CONDITION APART FROM THE DASH WHICH NOW HAS CRACKS 2MM IN WIDTH AND A STICKY GLAZE. *TR

I WAS HEADING INTO THE SUN AND I COULD HARDLY SEE DUE TO GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I STOPPED I PUT MY HAND ON THE DASH AND FOUND IT TO BE VERY STICKY AND CRACKED. THE CAR IS ALWAYS IN A GARAGE AND SELDOM IN THE SUN. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT MANY OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I CALLED TOYOTA DEALER AND TOLD THEM, THEY TOOK PICTURES AND ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECTIVE PARTS. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME $250.00 FOR LABOR AS THE NEW DASH WOULD COST THEM $1500.00, I ARGUED THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNFAIR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY BEING THEIR FAULT. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO AT A SLOW SPEED...BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR... AVOIDED HITTING ANOTHER CAR AND PEDESTRIAN AND THEN HIT A TREE NEAR A HOME. CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA TO A AAA SERVICE SHOP.... MARATHON- WESTERN/TOUGHY WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED BOTH BRAKE LINES FAILED... RUSTED THROUGH AND THEY SEE THIS CONDITION ALOT WITH TOYOTA'S OF THIS AGE AS THE BRAKE LINES ARE COVERED UP BY A PLATE THAT TRAPS SALT AND MOISTURE. TOYOTA CLAIMS CONTACTED AND DENIED ANY DESIGN FAULT OF MATERIAL DEFECT.. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINES THAT THIS MECHANICE AND SHOP CONSTANTLY SEES DO THIS EXACT CORROSION PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED EIGHT TOYOTAS... NEVER EXPERIENCED EVEN A BRAKE LEAK BUT A FULL CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IN THIS 1999 MODEL IS RIDICULOUS AND TOYOTA IS WALKING AWAY FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON THEIR PART. NTSB SHOULD BE RECALL ALL 1999'S SOLORA AND CAMRY'S ... FORCE TOYOTA TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BEFORE MORE OF THESE ACCIDNETS OCCUR... *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN WISCONSIN 2004. MOVED CAR TO FLORIDA IN 2009. CAR SITS IN GARAGE FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. WE ARRIVED IN FLORIDA IN OCTOBER 2012 AND TOOK THE CAR OUT OF GARAGE. IT SAT IN PARKING LOT FOR ONE HOUR. WE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD HAD A BRIGHT SHINE AND WAS STICKY. WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK IN GARAGE IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. BACK OUT IN THE HEAT AND SUN IT ONCE AGAIN APPEARS TO BE MELTING. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH THE GLARE. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. WAS TOLD THIS WAS A PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. JUST RECENTLY HEARD ON THE NEWS ABOUT OTHERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND WAS GIVEN THIS SAFERCAR.GOV SITE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM. AS OF THIS DATE THE CAR CONTINUES TO "MELT" WHEN OUTSIDE AND NO HELP FROM DEALER. *TR
