I noticed the windows getting hazy with a difficult to remove "film" and never knew why until I discovered that the dashboard is becoming sticky and shiny. I suspect the hazy film is coming from the disintegrating dash board. It is also becoming shiny and this is reflecting in the windshield. Seems like a repeat of what happened to my 2007 Camry.

My dashboard is becoming a gooey mess. There is something that seems to be eating away the plastic and if you touch it you'll stick to it leaving behind an indention for life. The sticky film has caused a glare, from the sun, onto the windshield, causing me to hit a concrete barricade that would otherwise be visible. I had a crash with this concrete and it tore off part of the fender and headlight. I replaced the headlight but not the fender. Please fix this safety hazard so I can drive my granddaughter around soon.

I had noticed the dashboard on my 2011 Toyota Camry hybrid became very sticky and shiny in the early months of 2019. The sunlight shining through the windshields most likely created this condition. It is impossible to clean or to remove the very shiny/sticky effect. Subsequently it causes a reflective glare from the shiny surface onto the windshield, possibly creating a driving hazard. I consulted a Toyota dealership who quoted me a price to replace the entire dash as they do not even attempt to clean them...spefically stating they had not seen any ever successfully corrected by repair. Considering how expensive it would be to have this part replaced by a Toyota dealership, and reports online of many other similar experiences by owners of Toyota of similar makes and models, it is my belief that the NHTSA should consider issuing a recall for this issue.

The dashboard is sticky and it is melting. Especially, on a hot day. As a result, when driving, it affecting visibility due to reflection to the windshield from the melting dashboard.

Ref # Michelin case number 14617544 summary#1. purchased 4 Michelin tires thru sears on 01/27/17(attached proof - "sears-01-27-2017- Michelin ", mileage # 38955) 2. on 03/22/17, one tire burst. (pls see attached ntb replacement reference proof - "ntb-march22_2017", mileage # 40221)3. On 12/7/18, 2 tires burst.(pls see attached good year reference proof - "good year Dec 7 2018 inv126569", mileage # 56640) 4. pls pull my audio communications during March 2017 and Dec 2018 please do a full fledged investigation on this issue. These are my demands# 1. I requested back in March 2017 while talking to your rep, to verify, if the tires sold to me were from a lot which sent with defects. A. this is very easy. Pull my tire number, get the plant reference, run by analysis by seeing number of complaints or run a load/stress test to see if there are no defect. B. I was given an explanation that it is not, don't think that anyone verified, gave 100% replacement and I paid only for install.2. again when 2 tires burst on Dec 2018, requested the same. A. the rep whom I talked to was very rude, refused to answer(pls pull the audio and listen the conversation) B. I did chat too. I was told that I may be give 25% and 35% discount only. C. I was told that Michelin will not do that verification for any defects! 3. due to above reasons, I lost the trust with the quality of Michelin tires, hence ended up buying good year tires. 4. first burst happened after 1266 miles (40221-38955) second bursts happened after 16419 miles (56640 - 40221) pls explain your assurances to an end consumer. Am I not allowed to get an explanation?

As I am checking my credit report I decided to look at the vehicle report an I see recalls that I never new anything about, two recalls. I recall recently having issues with said recall, control arms, one of said recall in question, now I hadn't purchased this vehicle long after the recall, as I stated did not get a letter nor did the dealership say anything, as I have gotten regular oil changes with the recall time frame, my car was hit on the street while parked in 2017, but I was told the controls arms problem was not a result of that, I had taken my vehicle to several Toyota dealers an they said they couldn't see T find anything, an eventually one dealer fix it, under my warranty. But it seem to still be a problem with the upper lower control because the car is is swaying from time to time especially with this powerful winds, today my car swayed into the other lane as I was on the freeway I had to get off immediately.

Drivers side sun visor falling down not staying up. The base part of the sum visor becomes detached from the body of the sun visor making it hard to out the sun visor back up blocking the view of the driver. The vehicle was stationed when I first began to notice the sun visor fall half way down. After a long drive out of state, on the highway, the sun visor droped all the way down and would no longer stay

Driving down the highway at 5:45 a.M., no cars in sight, I hear a loud noise such as that you would hear from a gunshot. Startled, I pulled to the side of the highway to assess the situation. My sunroof had exploded without cause. It looked as if it was blown out from the inside. Luckily for me, the cover was closed so no glass had fallen inside the cabin. With no cars in sight, I quickly dismissed the idea that it was a rock or road debris. It just randomly exploded without warning. The temperature outside of the vehicle was 46F and the digital climate control was set to 72F. I am very thankful that my two year old son was not in the car as the noise was very loud.
