The dash is very soft and cracking. It is very shining and gives off a glare which makes it difficult to see. No commercial products have been used on it. The dealer in bradenton fl says they don't know what is wrong with it and I could replace it for about $2200 dollars as it is not under warranty. While searching the web for a solution I came across many others who have this problem. My husbands 2006 Tacoma does not have this issue, in addition, the newer models all redesigned dashes. Toyota needs to stand behind their product and replace the dash. It takes away from the resale value.

The dashboard of my Toyota Camry 2009 has become very sticky. I have tried to clean it but cannot remove whatever is making it sticky. This became noticeable about 5 months ago. While searching the internet for a product to clean the dashboard, I have only found multiple complaints concerning dashboard sticky and melting problems from other Toyota Camry owners. I reside in Florida, which is one of the states with the majority of complaints are coming from. Some owners report that the dashboard is causing extreme glare coming from their sticky dashboard making visibility an issue. During the summer months I use a windshield cover in my car and have had all of the windows tinted to cut down on the heat in the car.

The dashboard of my 2009 Camry is melting. It creates a dangerous, blinding glare. I am concerned that is will cause an accident. I have called my local dealer and was told that there has not been any recalls of the dashboard. This is truly a safety issue. I really hope a body count is not needed to investigate this issue. Not only is the glare a problem, but the concern about the airbags deploying properly, is also a concern. The other issue is who knows what chemicals are being released into the car. There are several issues with the dashboard that need to be addressed and quickly. Please investigate these issues and recall the dashboards to help save lives.

No long after the purchase of my 2009 Toyota Camry the dashboard is oily and sticky. The dashboard now appears to be melting. The dashboard produces such a glare that it makes it difficult to drive. I think Toyota should recall these vehicles and correct the problem at no charge to the consumer.

- Margate, FL, USA

For a couple of years my dashboard has been oily and sticky when it is exposed to the sun. I live in Florida, where it is always hot. When I am driving in the daytime, there is a glare that the dashboard give to the windshield. It is so sticky and glossy that one time I put a sun visor in the windshield to protect the dashboard and the sunvisor stuck to the dashboard due to the stickiness. The glare to the windshield from the shiny, oily dashboard is a hazard and should be fixed asap before an vehicle accident occurs.

Dashboard is melting and sticky to touch. When driving in the sun, the windshield is hard to see from the glaring of the melting dash board and limited visibility of the road.

- Arlington, TX, USA

The vinyl dashboard surface is sticky and, in areas close to the windshield, the surface has melted to a shiny, glary look. I cannot wipe it with a cloth because it sticks to the surface. Pressing lightly the surface with my fingernail leaves a deep permanent mark as the surface has no elasticity. Even light impact, such as from normal use of a sun reflective windshield shade, leaves marks on the surface. The edges of the dashboard are chipping easily.

I noticed my dashboard starting to melt in early 2012. At first, I couldn't figure out what the problem was or how to fix it, and later realized it was melting from the heat. I can't use a windshield mat to block out the sun because it sticks to the dashboard and leaves marks. There is no way to clean the dashboard and if you touch it, it creates permanent dents and/or marks. It's sticky and gives off a bad smell. It causes a glare and makes it difficult to see out the front windshield.

- Lytle , TX, USA

Dashboard is "melting".

- Wellington, FL, USA

My vehicle has a sticky melted dashboard that needs to be replaced. This complaint is to support the recall of this dashboard. I contacted the local Toyota dealer and they said the dashboard was approximately $1400 that I am not willing to pay. I still owe my vehicle and should not have this sticky- mirror almost-melting dashboard. Excellent vehicle but disappointed on this part of it. It is a hazard because of the glare it causes on the road with the sun and most of the time there is no good visibility.
