STRUCTURE
CRACKS IN DASHBOARD IN TWO PLACES ON PASSENGER SIDE. ONE VERTICAL ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG AND ONE HORIZONTAL JUST ABOVE GLOVE COMPARTMENT RUNNING THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF GLOVE COMPARTMENT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THAT MANY TOYOTA SOLARA, SIENNA AND AVALON OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF SAME PROBLEM WITH CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. IT SEEMS TO BE MAINLY THE 2004 MODELS, BUT SAME COMPLAINT WITH 2005, 2006, 2007 MODELS. OBVIOUSLY, PROBLEM IS IN MATERIAL OF DASHBOARD AND IT SEEMS SINCE NEWER MODELS DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE, POSSIBLY TOYOTA FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM EXISTED AND CHANGED SUPPLIERS OR MATERIALS FOR DASHBOARD. I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA OWES IT TO LOYAL TOYOTA OWNERS (THIS IS MY 2ND TOYOTA - 1ST WAS '95 CAMRY COUPE WHICH I REPLACED IN '05 WITH THE '04 SOLARA SLE) TO REPLACE THE CRACKED DASHBOARDS SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND IN THE '04 - '07 SOLARA, SIENNA, AVALON. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA COUPE L4-2.4L (2AZ-FE) HAS THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY MY SERVICE CENTER AND IS IN REGARD TO THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0094-11. THE ENGINE LOSES OIL AT RAPID RATE AND GASOLINE GETS IN THE OIL, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE A RECALL. BECAUSE TOYOTA LISTS THIS PROBLEM ONLY AS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CONTACT THE VEHICLE OWNER TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE REPAIRS NEEDED REQUIRE MAJOR ENGINE/PISTON WORK COSTING $5,000. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS IF THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 60,000 MILES. BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD $5,000, AND I NEED THE CAR TO GET TO WORK, I AM STUCK WITH A USELESS AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE WHERE THE ENGINE WILL SEIZE UP AND DIE. WHO KNOWS WHAT TRAGEDY THIS WILL CAUSE IF I AM IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME.

TURNING THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON BRINGS THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD, THEN IT GOES OUT AGAIN. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND AT TIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE RIDERS SIDE FRONT LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. WE RECEIVED A FIX IT TICKET; BUT THE LIGHT WORKED THE NEXT DAY AND GOT THE TICKET SIGNED OFF. HOWEVER THE RIDERS SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT CONTINUES TO WORK AND NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. OUT MECHANIC TOLD US THE HIGH INTENSITY LIGHT MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
