Kindly, my car is Toyota Corolla 2012, I purchased it from saudi arabia, and then I exported it to my mother country ( egypt ). it is manufactured to arab gulf specifications and I am the first owner, I am writing to complain about my car dashboard. Three months ago, I found that the dashboard began to melt and became sticky by the heat of the sun, in addition to; it creates an unsafe glare on the windshield while driving. After searching for a solution to the problem, I found that many costumers have faced the same problem and was solved by Toyota customer satisfaction. Toyota dealership in egypt "Toyota egypt" refused to replace the melting dashboard with a new one because my car is no longer under warranty, but regardless of my car's age, is the dashboard supposed to melt ! therefore, I want to know your response regarding this problem. Knowing that, I do not ever put any materials on the dashboard. Please find the attached photos. Thank you for your kind understanding

My 2012 Toyota Corolla has issues with the electric locks. When I try unlocking my vehicle using the keypad or the electric locks within the vehicle, it simply does not work on my two front doors despite having electric locks in my vehicle. My research of other customers' issues online reveal similar issues to mine. (see https://www.quora.com/the-electronic-lock-unlock-on-the-passenger-door-of-my-Toyota-Corolla-has-ceased-to-operate-and-I-have-to-operate-it-manually-how-do-I-fix-it-myself; https://www.youtube.com/watch"V=uxh0itv4_nc; https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=sjefb1qutvi; https://www.youtube.com/watch"V=cvb63ky1lm8.) I am concerned about my safety because if I get in an accident and cannot unlock the doors because of the faulty door locks, I could be seriously injured and die. This same concern extends to my passengers. This is a serious safety concern that needs addressed, especially considering the recurring and consistent instances of this issue in Toyota vehicles. I look forward to comments regarding the overall safety concerns relating to Toyota vehicles and their door lock issues. Thank you.

Unexpected acceleration, which almost caused a major accident at a gas pump. The car was in motion and slowing to stop at the gas pump. This happened once a few years ago while pulling into a parking lot. Very dangerous situation.

I have experienced this since the beginning of the purchase. I use the air condition. If I am done, I turn the ac off. After using the ac, there is a foul odor that arises. I have tried to open up the vents. I have checked underneath the car. I have opened the front where it leads to the cabin filter. I have changed the cabin filter several times. The odor still persists. The only thing that the car dealers have told me to do was to run the heater after using the ac. It is redundant if I have to run the heater in a hot day.

1. while driving with ac on water was leaking down into the passenger side carpet. Dealer checked and found that the A/C drain hose was clogged. This happened on July 10th. 2013. Dealer did not charge for cleaning clogged drain. 2. on July 8th 2015, the same condition occurred and took it into the dealer. Dealer diagnosed A/C drain clogged and caused water to back up into the oxygen sensor causing the "check engine " and "trac off" lights to come on. Dealer now charged $252.59 and stated that this is not covered by warranty. This is the second time and it is affecting the engine. I need to have this situation fixed before it occurrs again and cause serious accident or death to occupant.
