MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. AT FIRST IT WAS A LITTLE STICKY, BUT NOW IT FLAKES IF YOU TOUCH IT. MY HUSBAND ORDERED ME A COVER OVER THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSING A GLARE AND IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO SEE. I TALKED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE HAD NOT BEEN A RECALL ON IT. IT WOULD COST $2800 TO REPLACE IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASH CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON NOV 25TH, 2013 AROUND 9:30PM I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. A COUPLE OF MINUTES IN TO MY DRIVING MY BRAKE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I TRIED TO SLAM THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR DIDN'T STOP. THANKFULLY, THERE WEREN'T LOTS OF CAR ON THE ROAD. I DROVE ON THE SIDE GRASS FOR FEW HUNDRED YARDS AND FINALLY MANAGED TO STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK IT TO THE NEAR BY SHOP AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE BRAKE SINCE THE CAR WASN'T ABLE TO STOP. AFTER SPENDING $650 TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND BRAKE PADS, I LEFT THE SHOP. AFTER 6 MONTHS THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I'VE TO REPLACE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR AND QUOTED ME AROUND $3700. I DIDN'T HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO SPEND, SO I STARTED SEARCHING FOR ALTERNATIVE ON THE INTERNET. THAT IS WHEN, I RAN IN TO THIS SITE WHERE PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE ISSUES THAT THEIR 2007-2008 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID ARE HAVING. I WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND FIX MY CAR. I NEED A WAY TO GET AROUND AND GO TO WORK. THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I NEED IT ON THE ROAD AGAIN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU! *TR

MY DASHBOARD HAS PRACTICALLY MELTED. IT SHINES AND REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD WHILE I'M DRIVING, IMPAIRING MY VISION. WHENEVER I TRY TO WIPE IT, WHATEVER I'M USING STICKS TO IT AND WON'T COME OFF WITHOUT TEARING AND LEAVING PIECES ON IT. NOT ONLY IS IT AN EYESORE, BUT IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE 2008 CAMRY AND HAVE HAD A MELTING DASHBOARD FOR FEW YEARS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE MELTED SURFACE REFLECTS SUNLIGHT ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE GLARE. IN ADDITION THE MELTED DASHBOARD COULD FUSE WITH THE AIRBAG COVER AND CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION. I QUESTION WHAT KIND OF CHEMICALS MAY BE RELEASED IN THE AIR AS WELL. *JS

THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING ON HOT DAYS RESULTING IN A SHINY, MIRROR LIKE SURFACE THAT REFLECTS SUNLIGHT AND GLARES THE WINDSHIELD REDUCING VISIBILITY. THE MELTED DASHBOARD SURFACE IS VERY STICKY AND COULD AFFECT THE AIRBAG FUNCTIONALITY AS THE AIRBAG COVER COULD FUSE WITH THE SURROUNDING MELTED DASHBOARD SURFACE. I ALSO WONDER IF THE DASHBOARD IS RELEASING ANY TOXIC SUBSTANCES AS IT MELTS. *JS

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY AND NOTICED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO HAVE A STICKY FEELING. I LIVE IN WEST PALM BEACH, FL AND WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS I NOTICED AN ARTICLE ON THE CHANNEL 5 NEWS STATION THAT HAD A REPORT ON THE MELTING DASH IN THESE CARS. AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CAMRY DRIVERS, I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A "RECALL" ISSUE WITH TOYOTA AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT! I'VE SEEN THE ESTIMATES OTHER DRIVERS HAVE RECEIVED AFTER SPEAKING WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SEEM TO CHARGE AROUND $2500 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD; AND IT'S NOT EVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRIVER! THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO START TAKING CARE OF IT NOW! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN, REGARDLESS OF THE HYPE OF THEIR EVERLASTING PRODUCTS. *JS

SINCE THE TEMPERATURE STARTED TO RISE HERE IN TX, MY 2008 CAMRY DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY. WHEN I TRIED CLEANING IT, I NOTICED THAT MY FINGER NAIL CHIPPED AWAY PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD. WHILE TRYING TO WIPE THE DASHBOARD, THE RAG IS ALSO STICKING TO THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME, I'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL AND WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THE STEERING. IT STARTED SWAYING AND HIT THE CEMENT BARRIER ON THE LEFT. THIS LOOKS LIKE A INTERNAL CAR FAILURE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR SINCE 2008 AND HAD BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT IS COMPLETELY UP TO DATE WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGE ETC. *TR
