NO LONG AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY THE DASHBOARD IS OILY AND STICKY. THE DASHBOARD NOW APPEARS TO BE MELTING. THE DASHBOARD PRODUCES SUCH A GLARE THAT IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN OILY AND STICKY WHEN IT IS EXPOSED TO THE SUN. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHERE IT IS ALWAYS HOT. WHEN I AM DRIVING IN THE DAYTIME, THERE IS A GLARE THAT THE DASHBOARD GIVE TO THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS SO STICKY AND GLOSSY THAT ONE TIME I PUT A SUN VISOR IN THE WINDSHIELD TO PROTECT THE DASHBOARD AND THE SUNVISOR STUCK TO THE DASHBOARD DUE TO THE STICKINESS. THE GLARE TO THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE SHINY, OILY DASHBOARD IS A HAZARD AND SHOULD BE FIXED ASAP BEFORE AN VEHICLE ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

STRUCTURE
THE VINYL DASHBOARD SURFACE IS STICKY AND, IN AREAS CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD, THE SURFACE HAS MELTED TO A SHINY, GLARY LOOK. I CANNOT WIPE IT WITH A CLOTH BECAUSE IT STICKS TO THE SURFACE. PRESSING LIGHTLY THE SURFACE WITH MY FINGERNAIL LEAVES A DEEP PERMANENT MARK AS THE SURFACE HAS NO ELASTICITY. EVEN LIGHT IMPACT, SUCH AS FROM NORMAL USE OF A SUN REFLECTIVE WINDSHIELD SHADE, LEAVES MARKS ON THE SURFACE. THE EDGES OF THE DASHBOARD ARE CHIPPING EASILY. *TR

I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD STARTING TO MELT IN EARLY 2012. AT FIRST, I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS OR HOW TO FIX IT, AND LATER REALIZED IT WAS MELTING FROM THE HEAT. I CAN'T USE A WINDSHIELD MAT TO BLOCK OUT THE SUN BECAUSE IT STICKS TO THE DASHBOARD AND LEAVES MARKS. THERE IS NO WAY TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARD AND IF YOU TOUCH IT, IT CREATES PERMANENT DENTS AND/OR MARKS. IT'S STICKY AND GIVES OFF A BAD SMELL. IT CAUSES A GLARE AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME VERY STICKY AND IS MELTING. OTHER INTERIOR PARTS ARE BECOMING TACKY TO THE TOUCH ALSO. THE GLOSSY FILM ON THE DASH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN THE SUN IS REFLECTING OFF OF IT AND CREATES A DANGER OF WRECKING. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY HUSBAND & I WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH A DEER ON JUNE 8, 2014, WITH OUR 2009 CAMRY HYBRID. WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 72 EAST AROUND JACKSONVILLE, IL. IT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION AS YOU WILL SEE IN THE PICTURES. NEITHER OF US WAS INJURED; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HAD THIS BEEN SOMETHING STATIONARY THAT WE HAD THE COLLISION WITH WE WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN? I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IN MY CAR. - THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE REPORTED THIS AND HAVE GOTTEN NO FOLLOW UP. *TR
