UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Vehicle was detailed at Toyota of San Diego. The dash board became very sticky/gummy when exposed to sun. This causes a problem when driving because the sticky imagine from the dash board shines on the window and distorts your view. Toyota of San Diego sold to Norm Reeves of San Diego. The service department mentioned Toyota knew about the problem but the time has expired to replace the dash. My mom did not receive any notification from Toyota. The car has 20,000 miles and is occasionally driven. My mom is 97 and I have just started to drive her car. Viewing out the front window is hazardous.

I sent a complaint about my dashboard melting, over two years ago and complained to the dealer ship with no help, they told me my warranty expired a week before the recall. They said it would cost me right at $ 1100.00 to repair, I told them that's not fair for me to pay for there mistake I can't afford that, the way the economy is going. I beg for help before and no one listen, so lam pleasing again. God I hope someone hear me this time.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I'm submitting this, as I've been dismissed by Toyota Corporation with my concerns. I purchased this car from an individual. I did not realize the magnitude of visibility issue with the glare from the dash. I asked at the time about the shiny and sticky dash, and the owner stated that year of Toyota Camry had defective dash that melted, therefor the issue. When I'm driving, the glare causes me not to be able to see clearly. I called Toyota Corporate office and was told it's not a safety issue although I explained in detail about the serious visual problem. Because the previous owner did not take care of the recall on this, I was told it's expired and nothing they will do. I told the man that it shouldn't have an expiration as it truly is a safety hazard! The glare was really bad one day that I couldn't see the traffic lights, etc. without leaning down and over to the middle. I realize I purchased this car used, however Toyota should honor the safety issue recall no matter when. The dash obviously was a major defect! I was told I could buy a carpet piece to go over it, which I do not want to do. I should not have to alter the interior look, plus I think it's totally tacky! Please let me know if there is anything you can do to help me get this dash replaced by Toyota. I couldn't upload video as the file is too large. The pictures give you somewhat of an idea of the safety issue. Thank you for your time!

VISIBILITY/WIPER, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The front dash assembly is melted over time and is so bad I cannot see out the front windshield. I told the dealership that I believe this was a recall and they said it was but that the specific job for that expired ? I didn’t know recalls expired. They are willing to fix the current situation with the current system failure of the over heating window switches but a major problem is the visibility up front. I have to wear sun glasses just to see through that horrible glare from the melted dashboard. Also not sure if their is any suspension issues with my 2007 Toyota Camry. The steering wheel shakes some and I’ve purchased new tires wheels and some rotation balance and alignment and no additional work or parts where needed to fix that problem. The alignment did reduce some steering wheel shaking but it’s getting worse again. Any help would be appreciated and if we could get the Dealership to fix the front dashboard that would be phenomenal. Thank you.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
My car has a mileage of about 178K and just recently got a "Check VSC System" which apparently affects brakes and also manages stability in case of hazardous road conditions. Across the internet, people also have reported the same issue and in some cases, people have had brakes locking up once this warning came up. Per a recall from Toyota, this is being fixed by the manufacturer only within a certain date and mileage and I dont fall into either of these criteria. The part itself is very expensive to afford right now...would be appreciative if the manufacturer can provide a way to fix this for a nominal cost or for free.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
On July 11, 2021, my husband and I were driving to a location not far from our house, on a state road with a 45 mph speed limit, when "Check Hybrid System" and "Check VSC System" warnings began alternately appearing and I lost acceleration. I turned on my hazard lights and was eventually able to pull off on the side of the road. I turned off all power then restarted, at which point the engine resumed working and we were able to continue driving, but the "Check Hybrid System" and engine light warnings remained on. We were able to reset the computer system by disconnecting the negative terminal of the auxiliary battery (which had been replaced a few months ago) for ten minutes, but I travel over 700 miles at least monthly to take care of my elderly blind father, and I don't want this to happen while I'm driving on I-95, when it's much more likely to result in a serious accident or fatality.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Toyota Camry 2007 has a sticky or melting dashboard issue and is impacting visibility when driving in sun. The dashboard shines and reflects on the windshield and impairs visibility. Toyota says their extended warranty to fix this issue is over however the vehicle has been serviced at dealerships multiple times and never was the recall / safety issue was reported to me. I would appreciate if someone can contact Toyota and ask them to fix the issue for vehicles that are still on the roads especially in the south where is blazing hot.

I first noticed a year ago that the dashboard was not looking right, but this year, approximately Mid May, the dashboard has become sticky and when the sun shines there is now a glare in my windshield, making visibility near impossible. It is hard to tell if there is a pedestrian/biker on the sides of the road or another vehicle in front of me. I did not receive any notice of this problem from the manufacturer. A dealer in my area said there is nothing he can do for me; however, he did give me the phone number for the Texas headquarters. I spoke with a gentleman named Cue (sp) who then put a senior supervisor on the phone. They, too, will not do anything..."there was a warrantee extension notice sent out in 2015 which expired in 2017". I did not receive it. They will only refund up to $250 for a dash cover. This should have been a recall, as I am sure that I could not be the only one that was omitted from their mailings.
