THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING. WE LIVE IN KENTUCKY SO IT IS NOT JUST WARMER WEATHER STATES LIKE TOYOTA STATES IT IS. THE MELTING CAUSES A GLARE THAT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY OTHERS MAY NOT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY REALLY COULD CARE LESS. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO GET HURT BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN? *TR

THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO "MELT" AND BECOME STICKY. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, TO THE POINT IT IS NOW ABOUT AN 80% LIQUID APPEARANCE. THE DASH MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE LIQUID APPEARANCE IS EXTREMELY SOFT AND QUITE EASILY DAMAGED. IT CANNOT BE CLEANED, AS ANY TYPE OF CLEANING CLOTH OR SPONGE IMMEDIATELY STICKS TO THE SURFACE. NO CLEANERS OR PROTECTANTS HAVE EVER BEEN APPLIED. *TR

THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL STARTED LEAKING, OOZING SOME STICKY GLUEY FLUID THAT GOT REAL WORSE WHEN IT WAS HOT. DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY BECAME VERY HARD SINCE THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY SHINY GLARE REFLECTED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND VISIBILITY WAS VERY LOW. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE & DID SOME GOOGLE RESEARCH. I REALIZED I WAS NOT ALONE. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO TOYOTA ATTENTION BY AN EMAIL. THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALER. DEALER BASICALLY SAID THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY NEED MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A "DEFECTIVE" MATERIAL USE BY TOYOTA. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS WITHIN A "SAFETY" RECALL. *TR

STICKY DASH. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I NOTICED THE STICKY DASH SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, BUT AS I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF A RECALL, DID NOT REPORT IT UNTIL MY LAST OIL CHANGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THAT TIME, REPORTED THE STICKY DASH TO TOYOTA. I CALLED THIS WEEK REGARDING THE MATTER AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT TOYOTA WOULD REPLACE THE DASH, BUT THE LABOR OF $251.00 WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I TOLD THE MANAGER THAT I DID NOT FEEL THAT THE LABOR OR ANY COST SHOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY, AS IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT AND NOT ANYTHING THAT I HAD CREATED. MY CAR IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT LEAST 96% OF THE TIME. HAVING SAID THAT, I DO FEEL THAT IF IT HAD BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE FOR MOST OF THE TIME, THE PROBLEM WOULD BE MUCH WORSE AND OVER TIME IT WILL MOST LIKELY GET WORSE. I WATCHED THE REPORT ON CHANNEL 5 LAST EVENING REGARDING THIS MATTER AND HOPEFUL THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. THANK YOU *TR
