NHTSA Complaint #10630216 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, AT FIRST (APPROX. 2011) THE DASHBOARD WOULD FEEL STICKY, AS IF SOMETHING HAD SPILLED ON IT. HOWEVER THE STICKINESS COULD NOT BE CLEANED UP. IT WAS IN FACT THE MATERIAL OF THE DASHBOARD MELTING. IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND SPREADS ACROSS A LARGER AREA, TO THE POINT THAT NOW (2014) THE DASH CANNOT BE TOUCHED WITHOUT A MARK BEING LEFT IN THE MELTED MATERIAL. IT LOOKS WET AND IS SO GLOSSY THAT THE GLARE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD, NOT JUST WITH THE BLINDING GLARE WHICH IMPAIRS VISION, BUT BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS CONTAINED INSIDE OF THE DASHBOARD AND THE DASHBOARD BEING MELTED MAY AFFECT ITS DEPLOYMENT. *TR
