THE DASH IS MELTING AND CAUSES A GLARE NIGHT AND DAY. IT'S LIKE IT IS HIGH GLOSS. I WAS NEVER SENT ANYTHING IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TWO CAMRYS AND BOTH ARE THE SAME. THIS STARTED IN 2016, I THOUGHT THE PEOPLE AT AUTO BELL SCREWED MY CAR UP FOR A COUPLE YEARS UNTIL I STOPPED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

THIS CAR HAS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. IT BURN 1.5 QUARTS EVERY 1000 MILE. THE OIL HAS TO BE CONSTANTLY CHANGED. THE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS CAR, BUT FOR TOYOTA TO FIX THIS ISSUE; THE VEHICLE HAS TO MEET CERTAIN REQUIREMENT DEPENDING ON THE YEAR OF THE CAR AND THE MILEAGE. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN 2017 AND I REACHED OUT TO TOYOTA BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENT.

DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND MELTED INTO A GLOB WHICH HINDERS MY ABILITY TO SEE AND I CALLED IN 2017 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND WAS TOLD I WAS A MONTH TOO LATE WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. IT'S PROGRESSED EVEN MORE IN THE PAST THREE YEARS TO THE POINT I HAD TO PUT SOMETHING ON IT TO MAKE THE GLARE GO AWAY. IT LOOKS SO TACKY AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

WHEN DRIVING OUTSIDE ESPECIALLY DAY TIME AND WHEN HOT AND HUMID, THE CAR'S DASH BECOMES STICKY AND SOFT. I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN ALBUQUERQUE, NM AND THE LIVED IN CA, I DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM. NEITHER I RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OR NONE IN THE SERVICE CENTER CHECKED WITH ON THIS ISSUE OR TOLD ME THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AND HENCE NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY DID WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ISSUE AND POWER WINDOW SWITCH MALFUNCTION. NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS DASH STICKINESS ISSUE AND TOYOTA IN HAWAII IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AND SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT THAT THEY HAS PUT IN AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR MILLIONS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS. THE REASON DOE REFUSAL IS THAT MY CAR JUST PASSED 10 YEARS SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT. BUT HAD I BEEN KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE EVEN EXPERIENCING IT, I WOULD HAVE GOT IT REPLACED. I HAD BEEN TAKING MY VEHICLE REGULARLY TO TOYOTA SERVICE, BUT NONE BOTHERED TO CHECK ON THIS. SINCE IT IS NOT MY ISSUE AND IT IS BECASUE OF THEY USING A DEFECTIVE PART, THEY SHOULD HELP ME IN REPLACING IT COMPLETELY AT THEIR EXPENDITURE. I AM WITH MY FAMILY AND I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE AS IT COULD EMIT CHEMICALS BECAUSE OF MELTING OR CHANCES OF FIRE ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP ME TO HAVE THE SERVCO TOYOTA REPLACE MY DASH. I BROUGHT THIS TO CONTINENTAL US TOYOTA HEAD OFFICE, BUT THEY AGAIN DIRECTED ME TO SERVCO TOYOTA, HAWAII, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO HELP. PLEASE INTERVENE AND HELP ME GET THIS FIXED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CAR KEEPS HAVING PROBLEMS. TOYOTA HAS REBUILT THE ENGINE IN JANUARY 2018. SINCE THEN, I'VE HAD A NEW ALTERNATOR THREE TIMES. THE LAST TIME WAS MARCH 2020. A NEW RADIATOR 2019, NEW SPARK PLUGS MARCH 2020, NEW FUEL PUMP APRIL 2020. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND PASSENGER REAR WINDOW WILL NOT COME DOWN. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR, JULY 29, 2020. YESTERDAY, JULY 24, 2020, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND CUT OFF. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON (ENGINE, OIL OR BATTERY). IN THE PROCESS, THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED FOR SERVICE. TOW TRUCK DRIVER GAVE ME A HOTSHOT AT MY REQUEST SO, I COULD ROLL THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS UP. MY CAR NEEDED A HOTSHOT TO DRIVE OFF OF THE TOW TRUCK TO PARK. TODAY, JULY 25,2020, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCES WAS CALLED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO JERRY'S TOYOTA BELAIR RD., BALTIMORE, MD. I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEED ANOTHER ALTERNATOR, AGAIN. THIS JUST MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD ALTERNATOR IN ABOUT TWO YEARS. FURTHER, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE MECHANIC 'THINKS' THAT THE MASTER SWITCH FOR THE WINDOWS NEED TO BE REPLACED. FOR SOME REASON, THE ALTERNATOR IS NOT LASTING IN MY CAR.
