MY MECHANIC IS TOLD ME FOR YEARS THAT I HAVE A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. MY OIL RUNS OUT AFTER ABOUT 1500 MILES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY CONTINUOUSLY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED TO POST A COMPLAINT ON THIS BOARD SO THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.

ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON MOST OF THE TIME, RARELY ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF. WHEN ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON, RPM AND ODOMETER GO TO ZERO, AC BECOMES WARMER, SOMETIMES ENGINE COOLING INDICATOR ALSO BLINKS. HOWEVER, WHEN ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT GO OFF, EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER, SPENT AROUND $350 TO DIAGNOSE, THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ECM WHICH WILL COST $3000. ITS REALLY SHOCKING

THE "DASH PANELS" OF MY CAR IS MELTING AND IT IS ALL STICKY, DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES, WHICH IS A DANGER BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ELECTRICAL PARTS THAT ARE UNDER IT. I NEED YOUR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION, SO THAT THE TOYOTA TAKES CHARGE OF CHANGING THIS PIECE FOR FREE AS IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT

STICKY DASH 'NOTIFICATION' OR LACK THEREOF, I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY TO ASK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THE CAR IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF THE SECONDARY WARRANTY I'M SCREWED AND STUCK WITH A STICKY, STINKING (COSTLY -$1600) MESS. I'VE TRIED CLEANING IN WITH NUMEROUS PRODUCTS SAFE FOR THE MATERIAL TO NO AVAIL, THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING ON IT. I DECIDED TODAY TO GOOGLE AND SEE IF I COULD FIND A CLEANER/RESOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. I WORK LONG HOURS AND HONESTLY DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE DASH. THE DASH HAS EVEN STARTED TO CRACK. I LIVE IN HOT, HUMID ALABAMA AND PICKING DEAD FLIES ETC FROM THE STICKY MESS ISN'T AN EASY OR ENJOYABLE JOB. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THIS DASH IMMEDIATELY, THIS CAR IS FINALLY PAID FOR AND NOW THIS ... ARGHHH WHAT A PAIN !

OIL BURNING CONSUMPTION, MY VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY BURNING OIL AND WHEN I WENT TO THE TOYOTA OF ORLANDO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE THEY ADVISED MY VEHICLE HAD PASSED THE TEST, SO DUE TO THEM STATING THIS THEY DID NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE , SINCE THEN I HAVE REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA AND THEY TOO, ARE FAILING TO DO ANY REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE AS NOW MY VEHICLE IS OVER THE MILLAGE , BUT WHEN I ORIGINALLY WENT AND GOT THE TEST DONE IT WAS UNDER THE MILLAGE FOR THEM TO FIX IT. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING OIL IN MY VEHICLE AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS FAIR TO ME AS THEY FAILED TO DO THE REPAIR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DENIED REPLACEMENT OF A MELTED DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED (BY 2 BUSINESS DAYS). THE 2009 CAMRY DASHBOARD MELTING IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT CASTS A JARRING GLARE ONTO THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. INJURIES OR WORSE ARE IMMINENT. PLEASE ACT ON BEHALF OF CONSUMERS AND ESTABLISH A RECALL FOR TOYOTA MELTING DASHBOARDS.

THE DASHBOARD GAUGES SUDDENLY DROP DEAD. ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT ON. A/C IS GETTING AFFECTED. ALL THE NEEDLES START DANCING. CAR STARTS SHAKING AND GETTING WARM. IT COMES AND GOES. SIMILAR YEAR CARS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. APPARENTLY IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ABS MODULE SHORT CIRCUITING. THIS IS A BIG LIFE AND SAFETY CONCERN AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECAL PLEASE. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE.

4 NEW YOKOHAMA AVID ASCEND P215 60 R16 TIRES PURCHASED FROM TOYOTA DEALER/SERVICE CENTER ON 4/10-11/18, CAR MILEAGE 82455. ON 6/6/18 ONE TIRE REPLACED DUE TO LARGE BULGE IN SIDE WALL OF RIGHT FRONT TIRE (CAR MILEAGE 84540). REQUESTED THAT ALL OTHER TIRES BE INSPECTED FOR DEFECTS AT THE TIME THIS TIRE WAS REPLACED; WAS TOLD ALL OTHER TIRES WERE FINE; NO BULGES. ON 6/11/18 (5 DAYS LATER) NOTED A BULGE IN THE SIDE WALL OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE WHICH IS 3 INCH BY 2 INCH. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM I WANT A REFUND ON THESE TIRES AS I DON'T TRUST THE YOKOHAMA TIRES ANY MORE...WAITING FOR A RESPONSE IN BOTH CASES, FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I DO A LOT OF INTERSTATE TRAVEL. I'M ESPECIALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE THERE WAS A TIRE SALE AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THESE TIRES' SINCE TWO OF THE FOUR OF MY NEW TIRES (SO FAR) WERE DEFECTIVE, I WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE PURCHASED TIRES DURING THIS SALE. I'M NOT SURE HOW I CAN TAKE A PICTURE OF THE BUBBLE, BUT WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO SO, IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING ANY RECEIPT INFORMATION NEEDED TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE. PLEASE ADVISE.
