STRUCTURE
MY VEHICLE HAS A STICKY MELTED DASHBOARD THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS COMPLAINT IS TO SUPPORT THE RECALL OF THIS DASHBOARD. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THE DASHBOARD WAS APPROXIMATELY $1400 THAT I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY. I STILL OWE MY VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS STICKY- MIRROR ALMOST-MELTING DASHBOARD. EXCELLENT VEHICLE BUT DISAPPOINTED ON THIS PART OF IT. IT IS A HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE IT CAUSES ON THE ROAD WITH THE SUN AND MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO GOOD VISIBILITY. *TR

BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR; DODGE TRUCK W/TRAILER HITCH STOPPED ON A DIME; I RAN INTO BACK OF TRUCK; BUT THEN MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD ON ITS OWN ACCORD AND I HIT THE TRUCK A SECOND TIME. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT LUNGED! CAR IS IN THE SHOP BUT I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND OUT WHAT THE COST OF DAMAGE WILL BE OR THE TIME FRAME FOR REPAIRS. IT HAS LUNGED BEFORE; BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME VERY STICKY AND SHINY, CAUSING A GLARE FROM THE SUN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TOYOTA AND THEY COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THE DASHBOARD SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND PRODUCES A BRIGHT GLARE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO LOOK THROUGH. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT THINKING IT WAS GUNK OR BUILD UP, BUT IT DOESN'T NOT DO ANY GOOD OR CHANGES ANYTHING TO THE MATERIAL. IT CONTINUES TO BE VERY STICKY. THIS IS NOT ONLY A HAZARD, BUT ALSO VERY UNAESTHETIC. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD ON MY TOYOTA LOOKED VERY SHINY AND FELT VERY STICKY. AS THE MONTHS WENT ON I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE CAR WAS LEFT IN THE SUN THE DASHBOARD BECAME EXTREMELY STICKY, AND WHEN TOUCHED, THE MELTED MATERIAL STUCK TO MY FINGERS. THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY MELTING., IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN THE DAYLIGHT IN THE BRIGHT SUN, AS THE SHINE FROM THE DASHBOARD FORMS A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO READ SIGNS OR SEE THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE IT IS HOT AND SUNNY MOST OF THE TIME. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS ALSO STICKY WITH A HI GLOSS SHINE. I DID NOT DO ANY THING ABOUT IT OR SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR MUCH. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND I HAVE ONLY 2100 MILES ON IT. I AM REALLY CONCERN ABOUT IT NOW BECAUSE I AM DRIVING IT MORE OFTEN . THE SUN IS CAUSES A BAD REFLECTION / GLARE ON THE WINDOW WHICH , I CAN BARELY SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I FOUND THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HAZARD AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE ANY ADDITIONAL ACCIDENT OCCUR. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN THE CAR IS MELTING. THE MELTING IS VERY STICKY AND SHINY. THIS CAUSES A GLARE ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH IS VERY BAD IN THE LOUISIANA SUN, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING INTO THE SUN, WHICH I DO EVERY DAY ON THE WAY TO AND ON THE WAY BACK FROM WORK. THIS GLARE HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO SEVERAL WRECKS BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO SEE. I HAVE VERY SENSITIVE EYES AND I DO WEAR SUNGLASSES, BUT THE GLARE IS STILL VERY BRIGHT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS I SEE IT'S NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE AND I WOULD HATE TO GET INTO A WRECK BECAUSE OF IT AND POSSIBLY HAVE SOMEONE OR MYSELF HURT OR KILLED. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH HYDROPLANED ON AN HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP THAT WAS A SHARP LOOP/CURVE. THE CAR HIT HEAD ON THE END OF THE GUARDRAIL WHICH HAD A SQUARE PLATE. THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND HOOD OF THE CAMRY WAS SMASHED AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

STICKY AND SHINY DASHBOARD: MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO CLEAN BUT NOT ONLY THAT BUT THERE IS THE GLARE AND WHEN THAT COMES UP I CAN'T REALLY SEE WHERE I AM GOING PROPERLY. IT'S QUITE DANGEROUS SINCE THE SHINY DASHBOARD MAKES EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS WHEN SUN HIT RIGHT AT YOU. IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE I HAVE TO LEAN DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND GO IN BETWEEN THE TWO GLARE SPOTS. *TR
