Dash board is melting which causes it to get shiny which causes it to reflect onto the windshield. This reflection makes it very difficult to see other vehicles, road lines, and traffic direction sighns.

The reflective trim on the interior of the vehicle creates pain for the eyes and is so high that it interferes with the ability of the driver to see out the front window.

All leather areas are sticky and difficult to use in the cabin. The dash, all covers, shift nob, center console, and steering wheel. This makes it very difficult to operate the vehicle where everywhere you touch is sticky. It also has an odor and mold/mildew smell. Toyota refuses to repair.

Car was parked outside for couple days under a heavy rain. Next day, when it was hot and sunny, I opened car's door and inside of the car was all humid and steamy. There was a musty scent as well. After checking the car I found some water in the left side of the trunk. Dealer service department after two day diagnostics told me that one of sunroof drain tubes is detached and that caused a leak inside the car. I think it presents both driving safety and health safety issues: - I wear glasses and because of the humid and steamy atmosphere in the car - my glasses kept fogging up and I had to stop couple times to clear them. Condition got better, but did not improve much after air conditioning in the car run for some time. - health concern is related to a mold that can accumulate in the car because of these leaks. It might cause allergic reactions or asthma. I think car manufacturer should either use better materials for these drains, so they do not deteriorate with time or change the design of sunroof drain system.

While driving on a highway, the glass sunroof suddenly exploded. Fortunately the shade was closed, because the glass broke into large shards. The repair was done by a local Toyota dealer and was paid in full by my insurance. My reason for this report is to call a manufacturing default to your attention.

While driving South on a city street midday, in sunny clear conditions, suddenly experienced the suns glare from at least 3 spots on shiny chrome covered dashboard all at same time, from different spots, blinding and distracting me and almost making me run a red light since I could barely see. It was like 3 suns in my face. Chrome is mirror like, quite thick, and at an angle that causes sun to reflect straight into your eyes when it's midday and the sun shines down through windshield from overhead. I had to break hard when I noticed light was red at the last minute. Almost caused me to run the red light. Updated 2/20/15
