The dash board is starting to melt on my 2007 Toyota Camry. When the sun is shining it is extremely shiny causing a glare in my eyes when I drive down the road. It is also extremely sticky to the touch making it impossible to clean. You can take a fingernail to it and it leaves an indent in the dash. It has started cracking and is a matter of time before the dash will need to be replaced.

Currently, I own two Toyota and in the past was a loyal customer. I was driving down the road in my 2007 Camry in January and suddenly my sun visor dropped down temporarily blinding me. I tried to get it to go back up, but it kept dropping down while I was in traffic. I had to drive home with one hand holding the visor and the other on the steering wheel. Clearly, as this was a mass produced vehicle, I could not have been the only person with this issue. So, I called the new Toyota of clermont dealership just a few blocks from my home. I asked for the service department. They asked for my VIN number and then informed me that there were two recalls, but nothing that covered the broken visor. I was very surprised as the visor was far more dangerous than either of the other issues. On Friday 2/28/14, I found online that there were a ton of other complaints about the sun visor and that there was a "warranty extension" for 2007 Camry. I took my Camry over to the dealership and was informed by david the service manager that I had missed the "warranty extension" by two weeks. When I told them that they had misled me by telling me that the visor was not covered weeks ago, they informed me that the service receptionist was not trained on warranty extensions, only on recalls. I called the 800-gotoyota line and received no support. First of all Toyota should have made this a recall because it is definitely a passenger safety issue. It literally renders the vehicle undriveable. They used deception in making it a warranty extension. Is this how they maintain a high rating for quality. Is this how the limit the cost of recalls? information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Toyota Camry 2007 dashboard has become sticky and shiny and appears to be melting. This causes an extreme glare on the windshield from the reflection that impairs the drivers entire vision of the road.
- Wellington, FL, USA
The dashboard is disintegrating. The area on the front part of the dashboard (closest to the windshield) seems to be the worse, although the problem is spreading to the entire dash. It is sticky, tacky, shiny and gouges easily. This problem is creating a glare and is dangerous. The dash is basically melting. I worry about the function of the airbags. Recently my airbag light is coming on and then going out for no apparent reason. I fear that the dash will become so unstable that it will cause the airbag to deploy. Please help. I am afraid for anyone to sit on the driver's side of my car.

Dashboard is sticky and the condition is getting worse by the day. The whole dashboard is melting and this also creates a safety hazard since the visibility is impaired by the glare when days are sunny. There are numerous complaints for the same issue and I do not understand why no action has been taken to hold Toyota responsible.

Dashboard has been melting for several weeks and now is cracked open. Dashboard cover material from windshield to radio and across full width of vehicle is very sickly, cannot be cleaned without leaving cloth lint embedded in the dash cover material, is structurally unstable and too soft to touch without leaving damage and will easily peal off under fingernails. Light reflection from dashboard is greatly increased and at times distracting. No other interior parts ie plastic, metal, leather, carpet or cloth are affected.
