THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED OVER TIME AND WAS NOTICED APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS BACK. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW I COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL TODAY WHEN I GOOGLED "HOW TO TREAT TOYOTA SHINY STICKY/MELTED DASH BOARD". I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SENT OUT A LETTER STATING THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION TO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT AS AN OWNER I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION OF THIS WARRANTY. I'VE HAD VERY VISUAL DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN. THE DASHBOARD IS CONSTANTLY BEING DAMAGED WHEN WIPED WITH A CLEAN/WET CLOTH. TOYOTA NOW STATES I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE I MISSED THE WARRANTY BY 13 BUSINESS DAYS. THIS IS A HORRENDOUS BUSINESS PRACTICE TO NOT REPLACE A KNOWN ISSUE. IT HAS BECOME A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.

VISIBILITY
DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE EXCEPT FOR FULL DOWN POSITION. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. WAS SEARCHING FOR HOW TO FIX IT AND FOUND LINK TO HERE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL TOYOTA VISORS AND IS DUE TO BAD DESIGN AND POOR MATERIALS. TOYOTA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND IT AND THE REPLACEMENT VISORS ARE THE SAME JUNK AS ORIGINAL.

OIL CONSUMPTION - MY 2009 CAMRY IS USING A LOT OF OIL. HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. 2 WEEKS LATER I'M ALREADY A QUART LOW. AT THIS RATE THERE WILL BE NO OIL LEFT BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION USE IS 1.5 QUARTS EVERY 1200 MILES THAT IS CRAZY. THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL. I SAW ONLINE THIS HAS EFFECTED CARS FROM 2007 TO 2011. SO IF YOU OWN ONE IN THIS YEAR RANGE YOU BASICALLY HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY WEEK OR TWO.

THE CAR IS USING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. 4-6 QUARTS BETWEEN 3000 MILE OIL CHANGES! THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE SINCE NOTICING AN INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION STARTING AROUND 2016. ONLY AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR A FIX WAS I MADE AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY TOYOTA. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY BULLETINS OR RECALLS FROM TOYOTA AS THEY HAVE CLAIMED. I HOPE THEY WILL PROVIDE SOME TYPE OF HELP IN REPAIRING THIS ISSUE AS IT IS VERY COSTLY TO MAINTAIN, MUCH LESS REPAIR. VERY DISAPPOINTING FROM A SEEMINGLY RELIABLE MANUFACTURER THAT CLAIMS TO BUILD DEPENDABLE VEHICLES.
