Consumer Description

2006 SOLARA HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE VINYL COVERING OF THE DASH PAD....INCLUDING AREAS AROUND THE AIR BAGS MOUNTED IN THE DASH. CAR HAS 11,000 MILES, STORED INSIDE AND UNDER A CUSTOM COVER. IN ADDITION TO THE CRACKS, THE VINYL COVERING IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND EMITS A STRONG ODOR. TOYOTA DECLINED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS NOW WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THE ISSUE DUE TO A LAPSED WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS AFFECTING HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF BOTH TOYOTA AND LEXUS MODELS YET TOYOTA ASSERTS THE PROBLEMS ARE COSMETIC. THE CAR IS SELDOM DRIVEN FOR FEAR THE AIR BAGS MIGHT DEPLOY AND UNCERTAIN OF THE HEALTH ISSUES RELATED TO THE VINYL ODORS THE CAR EMITS. *TR
