NOTICED DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WOULD NOT STAY UP. IT BLOCKS MY VIEW. WHEN I TRY TO PUT IT UP ( FORWARDS OR BACK, IT JUST FALLS BACK TO THE DOWN POSITION. I REPLACED IT ONCE FOR THE SAME REASON AND IT TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS BROKEN. NOW, ABOUT A YEAR LATER, I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND MY VIN NUMBER SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT I KNOW THIS IS A POPULAR PROBLEM. *TR

INTERIOR ROOF LINING BEGAN SAGGING; AND SUN VISOR; LOST ITS ABILITY TO RETURN TO ORIGINAL POSITION. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK CAR AND HAD ROOF LINING REPLACED AT BAHAMAS AUTO UPHOLSTERY - AVE 4742 SW 75 AVE. TEL (305) 262-050 I PAID $275.00; THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT WAS COMMON IN TOYOTAS WITH A SUN ROOF, IN FLORIDA. THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR LOST ADHESIVE AND SNAPPED OFF, HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. AT THE SAME TIME I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD WAS LOOSING ITS INTEGRITY, THEREFORE I PURCHASED A STRONGER REFLECTIVE SUN PROTECTIVE VISOR FOR INTERIOR, BUT IT HAS NOT HELPED, DASH IS NOW MELTING. *TR

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY'S DASHBOARD HAS MELTED. IT HAS BECOME A STICKY, SHINY MESS. I TRIED TO PUT REFLECTIVE SHADES IN THE WINDSHIELD TO HELP SLOW THE DISINTEGRATION. UPON REMOVING IT TO DRIVE THE CAR ONE AFTERNOON SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED USING IT, PART OF THE VINYL WAS MELTED TO THE SHIELD AND RIPPED OFF THE DASHBOARD LEAVING THE ORANGE FOAM SHOWING. THE SAFETY HAZARD COMES FROM THE SHINY "PUDDLES" OF MELTED DASH. THEY ARE INCREDIBLY REFLECTIVE AND CAN BE BLINDING IN SUNLIGHT. THE GLARE IS DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. I CANNOT LAY ANYTHING ON THE DASH TO REDUCE THE GLARE, BECAUSE THE VINYL WILL ADHERE TO IT AND PEEL AWAY LIKE IT DID WITH THE SUN SHIELD. WHILE IT HAS NOT YET CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR ME, I CAN SEE WHERE IT MAY HAVE FOR OTHERS. AS THE CARS AGE FURTHER, MORE OF THE DASH WILL BECOME MELTED. EVENTUALLY, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE ROAD WITH THE EQUIVALENT OF A SPOTLIGHT BLINDING THEM WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. HOPEFULLY, A SAFETY SOLUTION WILL BE HAD BEFORE THEN. ANOTHER PROBLEM THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW, THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT HAVE GOOD CLARITY WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN. I HAVE CLEANED IT SO MANY WAYS AND REPLACED THE WIPER ARMS, BUT IT HAS A SMEAR, OR FILM, THAT MAKES IT HIGHLY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH IN WET CONDITIONS. *TR

I TOO HAVE THE STICKY DASHBOARD ISSUE WITH MY CAMRY. I TRY TO CLEAN IT BUT IT JUST COLLECTS MORE STUFF. IT IS SUPER STICKY AND CAUSES AN EXTREME GLARE. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I HAVE A FEW FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I LIKE MY CAMRY BUT DUE TO THIS ISSUE I AM PRETTY POSITIVE I WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR MY NEXT VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2009 CAMRY DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND GIVES A REFLECTION THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT BLOCKS THE VIEW. ALSO WORRY IF THIS IS AFFECTING THE FUNCTIONS OF THE AIR BAGS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA HEADQUARTER AND WAS NOT GIVEN A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WAS A VERY HAPPY CAMRY OWNER UNTIL THIS PROBLEM STARTED. *TR

I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE REQUESTED MY DASHBOARD BE REPLACED AS IT IS MELTING. I CONTINUE TO CHECK BACK BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE. IT'S MELTING SO BAD THIS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL REPLACE SO AS TO AVOID A FUTURE SUIT. *TR

STRUCTURE
VEHICLE (NOW WITH 98,532 MILES) HAS A "STICKY" DASHBOARD CAUSED BY THE BREAKDOWN OF THE MATERIALS COMPOSING THE DASHBOARD. BREAKDOWN OF MATERIALS HAS CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO HAVE A GLARE. THE GLARE PRESENTS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THE MATERIAL BREAKDOWN OF THE DASHBOARD IS BELIEVED TO ULTIMATELY LEAD TO A CRACKING OF THE DASHBOARD WHICH MAY ALSO CAUSE INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATION OF THE AIR BAG. *TR
