STICKY DASHBOARD PROVIDES GLARE. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTION AND GLARE. BECAUSE OF STICKINESS, I CAN'T MOUNT MY GPS AND THAT FORCES ME TO KEEP LOOKING DOWN AND NOT PAY ATTENTION TO ROAD. I HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. I NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN MY 2004 CAMRY. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. *TR

THE DASH IS VERY SOFT AND CRACKING. IT IS VERY SHINING AND GIVES OFF A GLARE WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. NO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN USED ON IT. THE DEALER IN BRADENTON FL SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT AND I COULD REPLACE IT FOR ABOUT 2200.00 DOLLARS AS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE SEARCHING THE WEB FOR A SOLUTION I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBANDS 2006 TACOMA DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, IN ADDITION, THE NEWER MODELS ALL REDESIGNED DASHES. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE THE DASH. IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE RESALE VALUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2009 HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT BUT CANNOT REMOVE WHATEVER IS MAKING IT STICKY. THIS BECAME NOTICEABLE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. WHILE SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR A PRODUCT TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARD, I HAVE ONLY FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING DASHBOARD STICKY AND MELTING PROBLEMS FROM OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS. I RESIDE IN FLORIDA, WHICH IS ONE OF THE STATES WITH THE MAJORITY OF COMPLAINTS ARE COMING FROM. SOME OWNERS REPORT THAT THE DASHBOARD IS CAUSING EXTREME GLARE COMING FROM THEIR STICKY DASHBOARD MAKING VISIBILITY AN ISSUE. DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS I USE A WINDSHIELD COVER IN MY CAR AND HAVE HAD ALL OF THE WINDOWS TINTED TO CUT DOWN ON THE HEAT IN THE CAR. *TR

BEGINNING IN SUMMER 2014, THE 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE DASHBOARD HAS GRADUALLY BECOME VERY SHINY. THE SHININESS NOW PRODUCES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AT TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE SHINY AREA OF THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY STICKY WITH A TACKY FEEL TO IT. NO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN USED TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD, AND CAR IS UNDER COVER THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 CAMRY IS MELTING. IT CREATES A DANGEROUS, BLINDING GLARE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS OF THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE. I REALLY HOPE A BODY COUNT IS NOT NEEDED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. NOT ONLY IS THE GLARE A PROBLEM, BUT THE CONCERN ABOUT THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING PROPERLY, IS ALSO A CONCERN. THE OTHER ISSUE IS WHO KNOWS WHAT CHEMICALS ARE BEING RELEASED INTO THE CAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND QUICKLY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES AND RECALL THE DASHBOARDS TO HELP SAVE LIVES. *TR

GLARE DUE TO MELTED DASHBOARD CAUSE DELAY REACTION DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY RESULTING IN DOUBLE IMPACT. THE DASHBOARD ISSUE LOOKS TO BE A COSMETIC ISSUE BUT IT REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS CLEARLY A POOR MANUFACTURING PRODUCT THAT WHEN IN CONTACT WITH THE SUN TURNS INTO A SHINNY STICKY RESIDUE THAT REFLECTS THE DIRECT LIGHT RIGHT INTO DE DRIVER AND PASSENGER'S FACE. TOYOTA SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE THE POORLY DESIGNED DASHBOARDS BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS. *TR
