I am the original owner of a 2009 Toyota Camry. The dashboard which started melting in 2020 has caused a shiny film on the dashboard resulting in a shiny glare on my windshield when the sunlight hits the dashboard. This glare completely covers a portion of the windshield which prevents me from viewing the roadway ahead of me. Toyota has entered settlements ( extending its' warranty to Mid 2017 )several lawsuits, but does live up to its' agreement. Toyota has breached settlement agreement by not providing the Toyota Dealers with dashboard replacements in timely manner. Since my dashboard did not start deteriorating until 2020 I have been informed by Toyota that since the warranty time period has expired, that they will not pay for the cost to replace the dashboard. deterioration was a latent defect. Time for NHTSA to get involved: Investigate and then issue a National recall of the dashboards. Email: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Toyota has made empty promises to those who filed prior to Mid 2017 and refuses to even make promises to those who file after that date. Whittier Toyota will be inspecting the vehicle Monday July 19 2021 and will issue me a report of the deteriorating dashboard and cost to replace it. Google: Toyota Dashboard melting for obtain postings of various lawsuits in this matter.

I bought this car used and I didn't realize the dash was damaged, it just looked shiny but upon my cleaning it the first time my cleaning cloth stuck to it this is when I realized that something was wrong. The car lot wasn't responsible because it was an as-is sale. This has gotten worse to the point that I can barely see to drive when the sun hits the dash it causes a terrible glare on the windshield. I have to try and look over it and to the side of it and it's nearly caused me to wreck several times already. Yesterday was really a close call and that is the reason that I'm trying to find a solution for this problem now, I've found that this is actually an issue with this year and make of vehicle and not that the previous owner had put something on it's I had thought. I'm sending a picture along with this. The entire dash is like this but the drivers side is the worst.

Vehicle dashboard is melting amd cracking. I am extremely concerned about the melting because the dashboard is now extremely shiny amd the reflection makes visibility limited, especially when the sun is directly hitting it. I also fear that the cracks have possibly damaged the airbag itself, meaning if it were to ever deploy will it deploy correctly. This started years ago, and after some research I found where a recall was issued. However Toyota never notified me, they mail the corresponding information to the previous owner. This was verified when I called Toyota directly. They wouldn't take ownership of the mistake or the safety issue and advised me they won't fix it because the recall is expired. I'm confused how a safety recall can expire when real drivers, like myself, are still having these issues because many of these cars are still on the road. My car is a 2009 Toyota Camry SE with only 120K miles. Still alot of life left, so they should be held accountable amd fix these safety issues for consumers.

While driving, on braking, the vehicle started making a grinding/rubbing noise appearing to come from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The noise seemed as if the vehicle engine/motor was going to seize up or something would break inside. Slowly took it to a local tire kingdom repair shop who would not do anything once they started the vehicle and were alarmed by the engine noise. Advised to take it to an engine repair shop. Slowly, cautiously drove home and parked. On starting the vehicle in the garage, next day, the engine seems to run fine on parked and neutral. On shifting to drive or reverse the rubbing/grinding noise begins again. Have been restrained to sitting at home instead of doing my ride sharing and delivery work. Recently had the timing chain and cam shaft gear replaced.

The dashboard in our 2009 Camry has gotten extremely sticky. I was cleaning the car yesterday since we are shortly passing the car onto our son. When I went to clean the dashboard, I noticed the stickiness, worse in a couple of spots. We did receive the 2015 letter from Toyota about the dashboard issue but as stated in the letter in bold, red print 'if you have not experienced the condition described, there is no action necessary at this time.' We had no dashboard problem at the time so there was no reason to contact Toyota. Now we have a problem! the glare and odor from this issue is now a safety and health issue. Another concern is how this dashboard issue affects the electrical components and the airbag underneath. Toyota should address and repair this issue. I do not care if a vehicle is 5 days old, 5 years old, or 50 years old, a sticky, melting dashboard should never be a problem. Please address this problem!

My dashboard is melting and sticky. It makes a glare on my windshield and is hard to see at times and I feel like Toyota should fix the issue for free.

The dash is melting and causes a glare night and day. It's like it is high gloss. I was never sent anything in the mail about this issue. I have two Camry and both are the same. This started in 2016, I thought the people at auto bell screwed my car up for a couple years until I stopped by the Toyota dealership.

- Gastonia, NC, USA

I check the oil weekly in the vehicle despite it being driven sporadically. The oil burns off quickly and I have to replace frequently. This issue has been going on for some time.

- Columbia, MD, USA

Dashboard is extremely sticky. The glare from the dashboard at times is almost a distraction. Was told there was a recall some time ago, but was never made aware or notified from Toyota

- Houston, TX, USA

Dashboard became sticky and melted into a glob which hinders my ability to see and I called in 2017 to have it replaced and was told I was a month too late which is ridiculous. It's progressed even more in the past three years to the point I had to put something on it to make the glare go away. It looks so tacky and I believe they should fix it.

Dashboard is stciky and shines thr reflexion of the sun while driving, at the point where it becomes hard to see

When driving outside especially day time and when hot and humid, the car's dash becomes sticky and soft. I bought my car new in albuquerque, nm and the lived in ca, I did not notice the problem. Neither I received any notification from Toyota dealership or none in the service center checked with on this issue or told me that this could happen and hence need to be replaced as they did with unintended acceleration issue and power window switch malfunction. Now I have been experiencing this dash stickiness issue and Toyota in Hawaii is refusing to replace the defective and substandard product that they has put in at their own expense as they have done for millions of other customers. The reason doe refusal is that my car just passed 10 years since it was bought. But had I been known of this issue before even experiencing it, I would have got it replaced. I had been taking my vehicle regularly to Toyota service, but none bothered to check on this. Since it is not my issue and it is becasue of they using a defective part, they should help me in replacing it completely at their expenditure. I am with my family and I am very much concerned about the safety and risks associated with this issue as it could emit chemicals because of melting or chances of fire accident. Please help me to have the servco Toyota replace my dash. I brought this to Continental us Toyota head office, but they again directed me to servco Toyota, Hawaii, but they are refusing to help. Please intervene and help me get this fixed.

Sticky dashboard

- Oxford, FL, USA

The dashboard of the car is melting and is very shiny and sticky. When the sun or headlights hit the windshield it is blinding and I can't see. I have tried to clean it with hot soapy water, as I was instructed, but it will not come off.

I have been concerned about my Camry's dash board. It has become very disturbing due to it literally melting. I can't even touch my dash board without my fingers and hands getting stuck to it. My car is a daily driver but the Texas heat has ruined what I try to keep in pristine condition.

- Katy, TX, USA

My dashboard is melting. The glue is oozing through the top and now restricts my forward visibility when driving during the day. It is very sticky/reflective and I am concerned that now I cannot see all objects in front of me. If the sun is at the right angle it is blinding.
