NHTSA Complaint #10628473 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR IS LITERALLY MELTING. IT NOW HAS A GLARE THAT HAS CREATED BLIND SPOTS IN THE DAYTIME WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THE REP I SPOKE TO FLAT OUT LIED ABOUT THERE BEING AN ISSUE. SHE TOLD ME THAT DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE FULL COST OF REPLACING THE DASHBOARD. SHE SAID IT WAS THE FIRST TIME SHE HEARD OF IT WHEN I KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE DUE TO A TV STATION REPORT IN FLORIDA REPORTING ON THE ISSUE AND THE HUNDREDS OF CAMRY OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS DASHBOARD! I DON'T SEE WHY THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD WHEN IT IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THE BLIND SPOT IT CREATES AS WELL AS IT COULD BE EMITTING TOXIC FUMES FROM THE MELTING SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS. *TR
