Toyota issued a recall for the melting dash on my Camry and I've been on a waiting "list" with the dealer for more than a year to no avail. I need to sell my car and cannot because of the dash. Toyota said they would accept the car on a trade in, but deduct the cost of the dash repair from my trade in value! how can I be liable for the cost of a manufacturer defect?! I"M so dissappointed in Toyota.

Melting/decomposing dashboard car was purchase from my son-in-law/eldest daughter (bought from his mother new) for by youngest daughter. After a month or two after the purchase, I noticed that the interior was pitting and was all marked up and literally decomposing. I wrongly blamed my daughter and her friends for this apparent abuse until hearing about this issue online. After my prophetic apology to my daughter, I asked her to take it into the dealer to "get the ball rolling". I wanted her to learn how to do this on her own. Several weeks later after being assured that the replacement dash would be at the dealer, they told her that it was the wrong color and would have to be re-ordered. After taking the vehicle to the dealer several times and several months after this whole ordeal was started, they explained that there were no dashes in the us whatsoever. I then decided to call Toyota us directly to explain our situation. I was told the same thing and they verified that the actual order date was March 8th 2016 (what??) and that the company contracted to produce these dashes currently has a 6-18 month backlog. I then asked if there happened to be an airbag issue and the dash was damaged would I have to wait to have this repaired. They said not likely...so what this tells me is that the dashboards are out there "somewhere" but not eligible for this particular recall and out-of-warranty campaign (different bucket). I have also learned that this campaign can be transferred to the new owner (provide them with the case #). I also learned that Toyota is not that high quality, begin all- end all uber auto manufacturers that all of the magazines lead us to believe that it is.

In the front panel area, where the gear shifter is, there's a small compartment housing a switch with which I can manually press to put the car in reverse when the car won't do this by positioning the gear shifter into the reverse position by pulling it down.. my problem is, when I take it to be checked..there's nothing they can do if it's not happening at the time I bring it in, which is always the case as it happens intermittently, but never does it when I take it to the repair shop! this is frustrating and has caused problems in different ways. I hope someone takes notice of my problem while my extended warranty is still in effect so that I can get this fixed. Thanks for your attention and the opportunity to express it. I never knew who to send a 'complaint' to. Thanks again!

The instrument that show speed, RPM, gasoline, etc was going wary. The speed and the RPM go up and down, brake light come on, ABS light come on, etc. I do not how fast I drive. This happened around every 5 mins, randomly and last for 1 mins sometimes 10 mins. The air conditioning stop working during this time. I checked online and I saw many people experience the same thing. This is a manufacturer problem, there is not relate issue with the way you drive, the way you do anything in the car. I used the card since new and the mileage currently only 103K+, for 9 years old car this is very low mileage.

My Camry has check engine light on and oil needed to be changed once again in less than 3 months. Toyota has a recall on oil burning up but they checked last time and said it's okay. Evidently it's not. The mechanic recommended brake booster for the engine light issue which costs from $750-$1,200 which is hard to afford. This kind of issue can cost your life. Toyota needs to recall this and fix it since so many other people have the same issue.

There are several issues. First sticky dash board.. was told I'm being put on a waiting list for part. It's been months still no word. 2nd oil consumption is ridiculous.. oil runs out way before it's time for oil change every time.. no oil leaks anywhere.. car just burns oil super fast never experienced this with any car I've owned..3rd the car vibrates when in you hit around 40 mph at 1.5 RPM doesnt do it as much when car doesnt go in overdrive in 4th gear.. was told this may be a computer programing issue.. 4th my driver side back seat mat is melted to the floor. I was told something under the car may be getting to hot. Never got any real answers to my concerns.

My problem is that I cannot back-up using the gear shifter as it's supposed to be used. The mechanic removed the little panel in the front of the gear handle, allowing me to press it manually.I was told it could not be fixed (by him) unless it was happening then. Which it was not doing at the time I took it to him. You see, it happens intermittently. Sometimes the gear shifter will kick in after I press the brake, and sometimes it will not kick in and that's when I have to push the switch mannually. I am concerned that it will never be able to be fixed because it is an intermittent occurrence.

Toyota recall: I took my 2007 Toyota Camry to the local Toyota dealership for the recall. They had a 3 phase test and it used a quart of oil after 1000 miles, but I had to bring it in a third time, then they said I failed the test as I went over the mileage for the 3rd visit. I called Toyota and they let me file a complaint but also said I failed to meet the qualifications as I went over the mileage even though it had already used a quart of oil the after 1000 miles. I asked for the specific requirements and they were vague and stated the dealership made the determination around Toyota's guidelines. I took it again for the last and final oil recall and they then said I went over the mileage for the oil recall test the second time (1700 miles) that it was a bit low and they topped it off as a curtesy, but I was no longer eligible for the recall. Today after 3000 miles from my last oil change and their topping it off the oil was down 4 quarts of oil. I feel that that Toyota is making this difficult so that a consumer fails the recall and they do not have to fix the pistons on the engine.

My dashboard is melting and cracking. Pieces are starting to fall off. Not sure how this may affect inside electrical components as they may be exposed throgh the cracks. In casa of an accident the dasboard may crumble and pieces may cause body damage to face and eyes. Toyota knows of this problem but in taking to much time to make repairs. In fact no repairs have been done in my local dealer to any of the afected units due to lack of parts. This has been going on for about a year.

The dashboard on my 2007 Toyota Camry is melting and is very sticky, especially during the summer months I have read several posts regarding this very same issue and notice that no one has had this issue corrected by Toyota for free, obviously this is a vehicle manufacture defect that Toyota needs to deal with before someone gets hurt. I purchased a Toyota vehicle because of the reputation on quality & customer service, but until now I've not seen either of these. Toyota needs to stand behind their product & make it right for all affected consumers. It is not possible to clean dashboard at all. Everything sticks to it and if you touch it with your finger nail-sticky chunks come out..... the glare is awful and since both of my visors have broken off I cant use those to help...

The car will be running perfect and out of no where my car will start decelerating. It will still lose speed even as I have the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I went from 60mph to 15mph with the pedal all the way to the floor. Finally it will start gaining speed but my RPM's hit 6-7 and almost max out. I was on a highway with a semi truck right behind me as this happened causing him to almost hit me. It was hooked up to a diagnostic check and no errors or problems popped up at all. This concerns me because no one can figure out the problem.
