My dash board is sticky and uncleanable, making it very hard to see out the windshield at all hours day or night, which could potentially cause a crash. I have also noticed tons of people online with the same problem. This needs to be recalled or class action lawsuit.

I'm in love with Toyota. In Brazil I always had cars of this brand, but newer in manufacture. I recently purchased a 2007 Toyota Camry from a third party and at the time of purchase I did not realize the size of the problem. The car as always is excellent. But to my surprise your panel is simply melting. Just tap it and it dissolves in your hand. As it is sticky and sticky in the hot sun, its reflection almost completely covers the front windshield. I need to drive with dark glasses to get visibility. When researching the subject, I realized that this problem is widespread. That all Camry's have this defect. Imagine the danger of those countless drivers driving in poor visibility. It really is a disappointment with Toyota, and I hope they have a solution not only for me, but for everyone, as I consider this a matter of public safety.

In June 9, 2016 (NHTSA ID Number: 10111320) Toyota did a Warranty Enhancement Program to extend the warranty coverage for repairs related to cracked and/or sticky/melting Dashboards (Instrument Panels) as a result of heat or humidity. My 2009 Toyota Camry was taken to a Toyota dealership in September of 2016 and the malfunctioning dashboard was replaced. However, the dashboard is still melting. It was replaced with the same defective material.

I bought my 2007 Toyota Camry in May 2020 with approx. 77,000 mi. On or about 98,775 mi. all of a sudden my car started burning an extremely amount of oil. I would get my oil changed every 6 mo. like clockwork and after oil change just driving between every 900 & 1,200 mi. I am having to add nearly a full quart of oil, thank God I am the type person that checks my fluids periodically or I would have blown my engine! What is the point in me paying nearly $100. an oil change if I have to continuously be buying quarts of oil to be putting in my car every 1,000. miles? Someone told me that 2007 Camrys burn oil due to some kind of issue and that there was a recall around 2015, that all I need to do is take my car to dealership and that they mark something with a red marker or something to this effect and after driving 1,000. mi. that I take the car back to dealership & they check it again, if my car burns slot of o than they suppose to fix the problem! Well, I am tired of paying extreme amounts of money every 6 mo. for oil change and still have to be spending more money for more oil to have to be checking & adding more oil or I will eventually blow my entire engine if I don't! I took my vehicle to Toyota , & they said that the recall has been over yrs. ago? Well, I would imagine that this would be a life or death matter and therefore this particular recall HAS "NO" Expiration DATE! I need this issue resolved ASAP, I do not have over $2,000. to pay out of pocket Please, someone contact me with answers! I now have 114,000 mi.

The dashboard is melting and shiny causing it to look wet and create a dangerous glare on the windshield. When I look through the windshield I see a reflection of the dashboard. This is apparently a known problem for Toyota and I called to report it but they were unconcerned and will not repair.

Interior structure problem re: dashboard. My 2007 Toyota Camry LE sedan has just over 40K. This is a one-owner 4 door sedan. I bought this as "new" at Venice Toyota in FL on 3/29/07. I moved back to RI in 8/2007. About 2018, while cleaning the inside, I noticed that the dashboard seemed sticky. I had a dog and couldn't get the dashboard clean. I've tried several times to clean it (including some gel that's supposed to work) but everything sticks to it. I just found out where I can report it or I would have done this sooner. I had looked up my auto when I was checking for any outstanding recalls. I've had 2 minor recalls fixed. Reading further, others had the same problem, had contacted dealers about a recall which supposedly had gone out but it didn't. Toyota won't acknowledge the problem nor will the dealers. I am faithful about maintenance but the dashboard is disgusting. I also noticed that others have the same complaint and some are from South Florida as mine is. When is Toyota going to address this problem? It's not just 2007 Camrys - it's many models and years. There must be something they can do - it's their problem and they need to address it. Thank you.

Vehicle was detailed at Toyota of San Diego. The dash board became very sticky/gummy when exposed to sun. This causes a problem when driving because the sticky imagine from the dash board shines on the window and distorts your view. Toyota of San Diego sold to Norm Reeves of San Diego. The service department mentioned Toyota knew about the problem but the time has expired to replace the dash. My mom did not receive any notification from Toyota. The car has 20,000 miles and is occasionally driven. My mom is 97 and I have just started to drive her car. Viewing out the front window is hazardous.

I sent a complaint about my dashboard melting, over two years ago and complained to the dealer ship with no help, they told me my warranty expired a week before the recall. They said it would cost me right at $ 1100.00 to repair, I told them that's not fair for me to pay for there mistake I can't afford that, the way the economy is going. I beg for help before and no one listen, so lam pleasing again. God I hope someone hear me this time.

The front dash assembly is melted over time and is so bad I cannot see out the front windshield. I told the dealership that I believe this was a recall and they said it was but that the specific job for that expired ? I didn’t know recalls expired. They are willing to fix the current situation with the current system failure of the over heating window switches but a major problem is the visibility up front. I have to wear sun glasses just to see through that horrible glare from the melted dashboard. Also not sure if their is any suspension issues with my 2007 Toyota Camry. The steering wheel shakes some and I’ve purchased new tires wheels and some rotation balance and alignment and no additional work or parts where needed to fix that problem. The alignment did reduce some steering wheel shaking but it’s getting worse again. Any help would be appreciated and if we could get the Dealership to fix the front dashboard that would be phenomenal. Thank you.

I first noticed a year ago that the dashboard was not looking right, but this year, approximately Mid May, the dashboard has become sticky and when the sun shines there is now a glare in my windshield, making visibility near impossible. It is hard to tell if there is a pedestrian/biker on the sides of the road or another vehicle in front of me. I did not receive any notice of this problem from the manufacturer. A dealer in my area said there is nothing he can do for me; however, he did give me the phone number for the Texas headquarters. I spoke with a gentleman named Cue (sp) who then put a senior supervisor on the phone. They, too, will not do anything..."there was a warrantee extension notice sent out in 2015 which expired in 2017". I did not receive it. They will only refund up to $250 for a dash cover. This should have been a recall, as I am sure that I could not be the only one that was omitted from their mailings.

There was a previous recall on this vehicle for the dash melting and becoming sticky. I learned of this recall after purchasing it and would appreciate it if the recall was still honored. At least if half the expences covered for the manufacturer mistake.

THE AUTO WAS ORIGINALLY KEPT YEAR ROUND IN MINNESOTA. WE HAVE A PLACE IN ALAMO TX 2 YEARS AGO WE DROVE THE CAMRY DOWN TO TEXAS AND FLEW BACK TO MINNESOTA. WE LEFT THE CAR IN A GARAGE. THE FALL OF 2020 IS WHEN WE DISCOVERED WE HAD A STICKY DASH. WE CALLED TOYOTA IN PHARR TX THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT THE TIME HAD EXPIRED FOR US TO GET IT FIXED UNDER THE RECALL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGE. BECAUSE THE CAMRY WAS IN MN FOR THE MAJORITY OF ITS LIFE, THE PROBLEM WASN'T DISCOVERED UNTIL THE FALL OF 2020, 2 YEARS AFTER THE REBATE EXPIRED. THE TECHNITION AT PHARR TOYOTA SAYS THAT HEAT AND HUMIDITY CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THUS THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY IN TEXAS FOR 2 YEARS BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO LIGHT 2 YEARS AFTER THE REBATE EXPIRED. THE DASH IS STICKY AND ITS A SHINY REFLECTIVE SURFACE THAT RELECTS LIGHT, HAMPERING VISABILITY WHICH IS DANGEROUS. WE REQUEST TOYOTA FIX OUR DASH.
