NHTSA Complaint #10598009 — 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY

I BOUGHT MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY IN SEPTEMBER 2012 AND SHORTLY AFTER THE DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING. IT IS NOW VERY STICKY AND CONTINUES TO MELT. BECAUSE OF THE MELTING, THE WINDSHIELD PRODUCES A GLARE AND MAKES DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT DURING THE DAY. I CANNOT DRIVE UNLESS I AM WEARING POLARIZED SUNGLASSES, WHICH HELPS MINIMIZE THE GLARE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE REFLECTION OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD. I AM ESPECIALLY NERVOUS WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE MY 10 MONTH OLD NIECE AROUND! NOTHING WILL CLEAN THE DASHBOARD AND IT CONTINUES TO MELT BECOMING STICKIER WHICH IN TURNS CAUSES EVERY LITTLE PARTICLE OF LINT, DUST, GRIME, ETC TO STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. I EVEN USE A SUNSHADE DAILY TO HELP KEEP MY CAR COOLER AND I ALSO PARK IN THE GARAGE AT HOME, BUT THE DASH STILL MELTS AND IS STICKY. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED WITH TOYOTA'S QUALITY! *JS
