The front dashboard of my car has melted. On a sunny day there is too much of a glare that I cannot see clearly to what is ahead. I cannot place anything on the dashboard because it sticks on there and it has began to chip off when I accidentally bump my nail on it. It is horrible and dangerous with that glare. If someone was on the side of the road I may not see them on time to let them pass by because of the glare and it is getting worse as it continues to melt even more.

Made a 90 degree turn to park car, car rapidly accelerated and crashed into a wall within 25 feet of turning causing auto body damage. Data recorder report pulled from third party shows last five seconds before impact and recorded within.3 milliseconds rpb went from 400 to 2000 and speed went from 3.7 mph to 9.9 mph. Toyota wrote back and said nothing was wrong with car. If you review crash site and distance car turned to the building, it is impossible to accelerate that quickly in that short of distance. Vehicle was in motion on a city street turning into a private parking lot.

My daughter was driving our Camry to work on dry city pavement. She was going through an intersection (her light was green) when she was hit by a Cadillac escalade. The impact was hard enough it spun her around on a dry city street and made the car jump a curb. The escalade ran a red light. The side impact air bags did not deploy. Toyota said they behaved as expected.

I was driving into my garage and had just brake to let it ease in. My foot was still on the brake, when the car suddenly revved and lunged forward. The brake would not work, and it was as if the car had a mind of its own. It hit the crate that was in front of the wall, and forced a bike rack through the wall. The front bumper of my car was cracked in places. The car then stopped. So scary! I immediately called my dealership and was told they could not talk to me. I needed to call the corporation, which I did. After two months of waiting on a decision, I was told there is nothing wrong with my car, and that's that. I have since learned that there have been other incidents with Toyota just like mine. I am petrified to drive the car, and yet I am also afraid to pass it on to someone else. I don't want anyone hurt. I have called Toyota, and they do not return my calls I am wondering what I can do.

My 07 Camry runs completely out of oil before it's time for it to be changed. I have had the car checked for oil leaks and has passed each time. After researching this issue I have found that the more miles on the car the faster it runs the oil out and with that being said I now have engine damage. Not to mention this car has been the absolute worst. I put my visors down one time and had to take them off because they wouldn't go back up. The power controls in my car don't work. I also found out tonight that there was a recall on the gas pedal in this death trap that happened before I owned it that I was never informed of but knew something had to be wrong with it because it kept sticking!! I am not the only person dealing with this and find it outrageous that it has not been fixed. My children used to ride in that car!! it is a ticking time bomb and something needs to be done about this!!!!!!!
