STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY AND MELTED. ALSO, THERE WAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF LINT ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KINGS TOYOTA (4700 FIELDS ERTEL RD, CINCINNATI, OH 45249, (513) 683-5440) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1908150490, BUT NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED NOW IT HAS ACTUALLY BROKEN DOWN TO THE POINT THAT THE PADDING AND VINYL COVERING JUST RUB OFF. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT MANUFACTURERS WERE REQUIRED TO INSTALL PADDED DASHBOARDS YEARS AGO FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. TOYOTA DID EXTEND THE WARRANT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THE BREAK DOWN STARTED NATURALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *JB

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND IS STICKY AND SHINY WHICH HAS CREATED AN INTENSE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE SOME SPOTS WHILE DRIVING. THE SHINY DASHBOARD DOES NOT RETURN TO NORMAL EVEN IN COOLER TEMPERATURES, OR IF A SUNSHADE IS USED. THE SHINY STICKY GOO LIKE FILM CAN NOT BE WIPED AWAY EITHER.

I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO REPORT A STICKY, MELTING DASHBOARD. I CALLED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO TO REPORT THIS BUT IT WAS STATED THAT NO RECALLS WERE OUT ON THIS. I SAW ON THE NEWS LAST WEEK ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND I CALLED AGAIN ON 8/5/2019 AND WAS TOLD AGAIN THAT NO RECALLS WERE OUT. I USE A SUN GUARD FOR MY WINDSHIELD BUT THAT ONLY HELPS MINIMALLY. MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE NO SOLUTIONS. HOW DO I PROCEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXCEEDINGLY STICKY. IT IS VERY DISTRESSING TO SAY THE LEAST. A FLY GOT STUCK ON IT THE OTHER DAY AND USING A KLEENEX TO REMOVE IT WAS A MAJOR MISTAKE. HOWEVER, THE MOST UPSETTING CONSEQUENCE IS THE SAFETY HAZARD CREATED BY SHINY/REFLECTION ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS MOST CONCERNING. I HAVE INQUIRED AT TOYOTA WHAT CAN BE DONE AND THEIR ONLY RECOMMENDATION WAS TO USE A CLEANSER MADE FOR DASHBOARDS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT DID NOT WORK.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSES A CONSTANT GLARE THAT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TOLD TOYOTA ABOUT THIS THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY TOYOTA REGARDING THIS IS A POSSIBILITY OF HAPPENING. SUNSHADES DID NOT PREVENT THE MELTING AS IT GETS WORSE YEARLY AND I USE SHADES DAILY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING BECAUSE THIS PUTS MY LIFE AS WELL AS OTHERS IN DANGER DUE TO THE MAJOR GLARE.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY MELTS IN THE HEAT, AND BECOMES VERY STICKY. IF TOUCHED, IT ALSO BURNS THE HAND. IN ADDITION, THE GLARE FROM THE STICKY DASH REFLECTS IN THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AND DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING.

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL INTERNALLY. THERE IS NO EXTERNAL LEAKAGE. NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN MAY 2019. HAVE OIL CHANGE DONE. AFTER 600 MILES, NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ON JULY 27, 2019. IN MY OPINION IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL. THE PROGRAM COVERAGE IS APPLICABLE FOR 10 YEARS FROM THE DATE OF USE OR 150,000 MILES WHICH EVER OCCUR FIRST. MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED ANYMORE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DECLINED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JS *TR*JB

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING, SINCE IT IS MELTING IT IS CAUSING THE DASHBOARD TO BE REALLY SHINEY, WHICH IS CAUSING A HUGE REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT. THE DASHBOARD IS ALSO REALLY STICKY FROM MELTING, AND IM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE OF THIS.

DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT, CRACK, CHIP AND BECOME GOOEY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND ON THE PHONE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE 2 TIMES, AND THEY BOTH KEEP REDIRECTING ME TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS SINCE THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND IS REFUSING TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL THAT HAS SINCE EXPIRED, HOWEVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS CAUSES GREAT CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING WITH EASE OR HONESTY. A MELTING DASHBOARD IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES.
