Consumer Description

CRACKS IN DASHBOARD IN TWO PLACES ON PASSENGER SIDE. ONE VERTICAL ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG AND ONE HORIZONTAL JUST ABOVE GLOVE COMPARTMENT RUNNING THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF GLOVE COMPARTMENT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THAT MANY TOYOTA SOLARA, SIENNA AND AVALON OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF SAME PROBLEM WITH CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. IT SEEMS TO BE MAINLY THE 2004 MODELS, BUT SAME COMPLAINT WITH 2005, 2006, 2007 MODELS. OBVIOUSLY, PROBLEM IS IN MATERIAL OF DASHBOARD AND IT SEEMS SINCE NEWER MODELS DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE THIS ISSUE, POSSIBLY TOYOTA FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM EXISTED AND CHANGED SUPPLIERS OR MATERIALS FOR DASHBOARD. I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA OWES IT TO LOYAL TOYOTA OWNERS (THIS IS MY 2ND TOYOTA - 1ST WAS '95 CAMRY COUPE WHICH I REPLACED IN '05 WITH THE '04 SOLARA SLE) TO REPLACE THE CRACKED DASHBOARDS SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND IN THE '04 - '07 SOLARA, SIENNA, AVALON. *TR
