Consumer Description

WE HAVE A MELTING DASH IN OUR 4 RUNNER. IT CAN BURN TO THE TOUCH AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER PAST YEAR. IT IS STICKY TO TOUCH ALSO AND HAS A BAD ODOR ALSO. WE MADE COMPLAINT TO TOYOTA BUT NO OFFER TO REPAIR. I CALLED DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM BUT TOYOTA CORP HAS NOT GIVEN THEM APPROVAL FOR PARTS TO REPLACE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SUMMER MONTHS GETTING HOTTER AND IT MAKING OUR AIRBAGS GO OFF OR DASH COULD CATCH ON FIRE. *TR
