NHTSA Complaint #10654241 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE HAS POURED HONEY OR SYRUP ALL OVER IT. I FIRST NOTICED IT THIS SUMMER AND IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH WINDEX AND A PAPER TOWEL OR A DRY CLOTH. IT NOW HAS PAPER TOWEL PIECES STUCK ALL OVER IT AND THE DUST IS PERMANENTLY ON THE DASH BECAUSE IT WON'T WIPE OFF. THERE IS ALSO A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND A HORRIBLE SUBSTANCE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT CANNOT BE WIPED OFF NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU CLEAN IT, IT JUST SMEARS. THIS CAUSES DIFFICULTIES DRIVING AT NIGHT. GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT CHEMICALS ARE BEING RELEASED INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT WE ARE ALL INHALING! I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO ROUND ROCK TOYOTA IN ROUND ROCK, TX AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME HOW AWFUL IT WAS BUT THEY COULDN'T/WOULDN'T HELP ME UNLESS I WANTED TO PURCHASE A NEW DASH BOARD FOR MY CAR. FROM MY READING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND TOYOTA IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE DEFECTIVE MATERIALS THEY HAVE USED IN THESE VEHICLES. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR LIKE THIS AND I'M SURE IT WILL EFFECT THE VALUE OF MY CAR SHOULD I EVER TRY TO REPLACE IT. *TR
