Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD ON THE CAMRY IS MELTING IN THE TEXAS SUN. THE CAR IS PARKED INSIDE OUR GARAGE EXCEPT FOR THE EARLY MORNINGS. WHEN IT IS HOTTER THAN 75 OUTSIDE THE DASH BECOMES EXTREMELY SOFT AND STICKY. WHEN IT GETS ABOVE 80 THE DASH STARTS TO GET SHINY, REAL SHINY TO WHERE IT REFLECTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. ADDITIONALLY THE OFF GASSING FROM THE DASH CAUSES A FILM ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT HAS TO BE CLEANED EVERY WEEKEND. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE FOR REPAIRS/REMEDIES AND HAVE COME ACROSS HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS IN HOT CLIMATE ZONES WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ON THEIR CAMRY AND LEXUS OF THE SAME PRODUCTION MODEL YEARS. *TR
