I AM ONLY OWNER OF THIS TOYOTA, IT IS GARAGED OR HAS SUN VISORS IN PLACE. I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME CRACKED/CRACKING DASH AS OTHERS. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THIS TO OCCUR. I TOO WONDER WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF EVER MY AIR BAGS DEPLOY. THE CRACKING SO FAR IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH. THIS STARTED EITHER IN FALL OF 2012. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH AIRBAGS THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SINCE 2009 MY DASH BOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AND AS I HAVE SEARCH FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ONE THAT SHOWS TOYOTA IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY ON IT. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THEIR DASH CRACKING AND TOYOTA TAKING NO OWNERSHIP OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN IT. AS TIME PROGRESSES THERE ARE MORE CRACK THAT ARE APPEARING AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL GET WORSE IF MY AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYS. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA'S DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND MORE CRACKS SEEM TO APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND UNDER SHADE DURING THE DAY. IT HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR YEARS AND CONTINUES THE SAME TREND. I'VE SEEN OTHER TOYOTAS WITH CRACKED DASHBOARDS, THERE MUST BE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS. I COULD IGNORE IT FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW IT HAS GONE TOO FAR. *TR

I AM THE MANAGER AT RENTY CAR RENTAL. WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR TOYOTA'S CLOCK SPRING. THIS PART HAS BEEN GOING DEFECTIVE AND TURNING THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH 3 OF OUR TOYOTA'S. IT HAS BECOME QUITE AN ISSUE. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE PARTS TO REPLACE, AND WE MUST REPLACE THEM AS SOON AS WE FIND THE PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY SCARED THAT THIS ITEM MIGHT FAIL AND THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY. *JB

THESE BODY STYLE OF THIS CAR PRODUCES SEVERAL BLIND SPOTS FOR THE DRIVER. SPECIFICALLY, THE ISSUE IS THE ELEVATED POSTERIOR WINDOWS THAT MAKE BACKING UP/DRIVING IN REVERSE AS WELL AS CHANGING LANES DIFFICULT. I HAVE HAD THREE INCIDENTS SINCE ACQUIRING THIS CAR IN 2009. EACH INCIDENT INVOLVED THE CORNERS OF THE REAR BUMPER AND RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
2006 SOLARA WAS DRIVEN BY MY SON WHO WAS FOUND DEAD IN A CANAL ON 1/28/08 BY A PASSERBY. THE CAR HAD THE TENDENCY TO HAVE THE FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE RIDE UP, WHICH I WAS USED TO AS IT WAS MY CAR. THEREFORE, I SUSPECT THE FLOOR MAT RODE UP ONTO ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING CAR TO BE UNABLE TO STOP WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS FOUND UPSIDE DOWN WITH THE CAR IN PARK WITH THE KEYS REMOVED IN 4' OF WATER WITH MY ONLY CHILD LAYING FACE DOWN IN THE WATER DEAD. SINCE THE RECALL CAME AFTER HIS DEATH, THE CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN SALVAGED AND NOT ABLE TO HAVE PROOF TO DETERMINE CAUSE. *TR
