The dashboard is very sticky and highly reflective to the point where, at times, I cannot see through the windshield. Driving has now become dangerous and I almost went head on into a car in front of me after making a turn westbound into the setting sun. Toyota dealership was contacted and the Service department said there was a recall but it has since expired and want to charge me about $2000 to replace the manufacturer failed dashboard. I am the original owner and I never received a recall notice from Toyota or the dealer from whom I purchased the vehicle. The dash has been sticky and reflective for over 2 years now. If I cannot get this resolved with no cost replacement from Toyota, I will contact my attorney.

The contact owns a 2010 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that the plastic dashboard material had melted due to exposure to sunlight causing the material to become shiny and sticky to the touch. While driving during daylight hours, a glare was present reflecting from the dashboard that caused a visibility hazard for the driver. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 150,000.

The dashboard is sticky and there is a shiny coat which makes it hard to see out of the front window. It is also causing the window to get a hazy film on the front window. I have owned this car since driving it off the lot brand new. I realize there was a recall for the dashboard and a warranty enhancement which expired in 2019. I spoke with Toyota corporate and they will not honor the recall because the enhancement warranty expired. Having said that, I am being penalized for keeping my car in great shape, working condition. I take pride in my vehicles and for this reason the dashboard lasted longer than the warranty of 2019. The fact still remains that this is a safety hazard with regards to seeing out the front window at night because of the reflection on the shiny/sticky dash. I called my nearby Toyota Dealership and the cost to replace the dash is $2069.68 including parts and labor. Please look into this matter as its about principle and Toyota should back their warranty especially since this is a safety issue.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THUS, IT HAS BECOME SHINY AND HINDERS VIEW SIGNIFICANTLY. IN ORDER TO DRIVE. A DARK CLOTH, ETC IS PLACED ON DASH TO ELIMINATE SHINE AND RESTORE PROPER VIEWING. IN ADDITION BOTH VISORS ARE REMOVED DUE TO FLOPPING DOWNWARD. AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO PREVENTION OF SUN GLARE WHILE DRIVING. THE COMBINATION OF BOTH ISSUES MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS DRIVING EXPERIENCE WHICH CAUSES MUCH ANXIETY. BOTH ISSUES WERE RECALLS BUT AS THE 2ND OWNER I WAS NOT CONTACTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS IS A 2010 CAMRY WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2012.

DASHBOARD IS BECOMING SEVERELY REFLECTIVE TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T DRIVE IT SAFELY. IT'S GOTTEN STICKIER AND MORE REFLECTIVE OVER TIME. DEALER REFUSES TO ACCEPT IT'S A DEFECT AND IS CHARGING ME TWO GRAND JUST FOR THE PART (LABOR IS MORE.) REFLECTIVENESS IS MUCH WORSE THAN WHAT THE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE STARTED "MELTING" AND BECAME STICKY AND GOOEY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS DIRTY AND COULD NOT CLEAN OFF THE STICKINESS. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS ALSO A REFLECTIVE GLARE COMING OFF THE DASHBOARD WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD ALSO EMITTED A STRONG ODOR THAT WAS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BREATHE AND MY EYES TO BURN AND CAUSE " COUGHING. I DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD UNTIL I RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TOYOTA RECALL REGARDING THE "MELTING DASHBOARDS. I CALLED TOYOTA ON 10-19-2020 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA BY MAIL, PHONE OR EMAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY STILL SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO HONOR THE WARRANTY TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD AS I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THEY SAID BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SINCE 2017 THAT IS WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE RECALL. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED REGULARLY, BUT NOT AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE MAILED ME A RECALL NOTICE, WHICH THEY DID NOT. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL I WOULD HAVE /REPLACEMENT TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE

DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND WILL COME OFF AND ADHERE TO ANYTHING THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE DASH. WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN, IT PUTS OFF A GLARE THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD, EVEN WHEN WEARING SUNGLASSES.

WHEN GASED, EVEN LIGHTLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES SUDDENLY AND AGGRESSIVELY. WHEN ROLLING, WITHOUT THE DRIVER ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE SELF-ACCELERATES. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2014. DUE TO THIS CONCERN, THE VEHICLE IS SELDOM DRIVEN.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SRS WARNING LIGHT AND TRAC CONTROL WARNING LIGHT AND SEAT BELT WARNINGS FOR BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER FLASHING. I CHECKED ONLINE AND COULDNT FIGURE OUT THE CODES. I FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS BLOWING FUSE 29 ON THE CAR AS SOON AS THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON. I WENT TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP, ALI AUTOMOTIVE IN SANTA CLARA, CA. THEY READ THE CODES AND THE FAULTS DISPLAYED ARE THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR FAULT AND PASSENGER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FAULT (IF I RECALL CORRECTLY). AS THE AIR BAGS ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FAULT CAME ON WHILE JUST AFTER TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE CORNER OF LAWRENCE AND PROSPECT. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THEY NEED TO CHECK THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS LIKELY THE AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING IS SHORTING AS THEY'VE REPLACED THIS ON A NUMBER OF CARS. CHECKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT TOYOTA HAS A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING ON SOME MODELS BUT I DIDNT SEE ONE OF THE CAMRY. ALSO A NUMBER OF REPORTS ONLINE OF CONSUMERS CHANGING THE CLOCKSPRINGS. SO THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON COMPLAINT AND A SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE ASSIST TO INVESTIGATE ASAP. THIS CAR IS ALSO USED BY OUR TEENAGE SON AND I'D LIKE TO ENSURE THAT IT IS SAFE. THANK YOU.

ENGINE LOWER CASE CRANK SEAL LEAK. I CALLED TOYOTA CORP. OFFICE AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME. I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS, AND I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. TOYOTA CORP. NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT OIL. THE ENGINE OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE AN ENGINE STOPPAGE. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND FEAR SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. THE COST TO FIX IS ABOUT $2200.00. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF MONEY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL TYPE THE DATE I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM BECAUSE IT IS ASKING DATE INCIDENT HAPPENED AND WON'T TAKE RECENT DATES. THANK YOU.

I NOTICED THIS DURING TEST DRIVE OF THE CAR. ITS WORSE AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE PART SINCE WARRANTY EXTENSION EXPIRED 6/3/2019. A FULL SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED. *TR

CUSTOMER BY CSS WEB (08/20/2019 12:23 PM) MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO AN UNCLEANABLE TARLIKE STICKY SUBSTANCE. I NEED HELP BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ON MY WINDSHIELD AND I CANNOT SEE THROUGH IT. I HAVE TO BEND SIDEWAYS TO SEE AROUND IT TO DRIVE. PLEASE EMAIL ME HOW I CAN CLEAN MY DASHBOARD. QUESTION REFERENCE # 190820-000288 DATE CREATED: 08/20/2019 12:23 PM CT ON MAY 1, 2014, MY 2010 CAMRY DASHBOARD STARTED LOOKING GREASY AND SHINY. I DID THE BEST I COULD TO CLEAN IT WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT CAR CLEANING SOLUTIONS, WHICH AT THE TIME DID HELP. I TRIED PURE RUBBING ALCOHOL. I EVEN TRIED A VINEGAR AND WATER SOLUTION. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO BE WASHED AND DETAILED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE STICKY SOLUTION OFF AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A TOYOTA DEALER., WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD JUST MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR DATE AND TO CONTACT TOYOTA, SO ON AUGUST 20, 2019. I CONTACTED TOYOTA.COM AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD MISSED THE EXTENDED REPAIR END DATE AND THAT I CAN PAY MY TOYOTA DEALER TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD MYSELF.. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE EXTENDED DATE OR ANY RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY SENT THEM OUT AND IF I DID NOT RECEIVE IT, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. THEY TOLD ME THIS ON A PHONE CALL TO ME. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN PUT THEIR RESPONSE IN WRITING. I TRULY BELIEVE TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR, SO I THINK OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.
