NHTSA Complaint #10617692 — 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY

THIS IS COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DASHBOARD COVERING ON MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. IF I NEED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT ON A DIFFERENT WEBSITE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL ALMOST EVERYONE WHO HAS A LATE MODEL LEXUS OR CAMRY IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE DASH COVERING BEGINS TO MELT AND BECOMES VERY STICKY. THE COVERING STARTS TO COME OFF IF YOU TRY TO CLEAN IT AND THEN A VERY SHINY SURFACE APPEARS AND REFLECTS OFF OF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE UNLESS YOU PUT SOMETHING OVER THE DASH TO STOP THE REFLECTION. THIS SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING EVERY CAMRY FOR SEVERAL MODEL YEARS AND VERY OBVIOUSLY IS A DEFECT. I HAVE HEARD TOYOTA WILL GIVE UP TO A 50% DISCOUNT SO THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, BUT UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL IT COSTS THE CONSUMER 300 DOLLARS. THIS SEEMS UNFAIR TO ME. *TR
