THE DASH OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA BEGAN TO MELT AND CRACK IN 2012, CREATING AN EXTREMELY STICKY SURFACE AS WELL AS A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO WORSEN OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE STICKINESS AND GLARE WORSEN WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES WHICH IS A CRITICAL ISSUE WHEN LIVING IN FLORIDA. EVEN WHEN I TRAVEL TO NORTHERN STATES IN THE WINTER, THE STICKINESS AND SEVERE GLARE DOES NOT COMPLETELY GO AWAY IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. I CAN GENTLY TOUCH MY DASH AND LEAVE A FINGER IMPRINT AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR AND IN ANY TEMPERATURE. THE GLARE GREATLY REDUCES THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR HOWEVER, DURING THE HOTTEST MONTHS OF THE YEAR THE GLARE IS SO SEVERE THAT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHAT IS AHEAD. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN ACCIDENTS AND HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING PEDESTRIANS IN...

DASH BEGAN HAVING CRACKS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. NOW CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECENT AIRBAG RECALL. *TR

NUMEROUS CRACKS OVER ENTIRE DASHBOARD THAT MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS IF AIRBAGS ARE CAUSED TO DEPLOY. *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A FRIEND. DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT THE DASHBOARD IS A LOT WORSE THAN I THOUGHT. IT IS GUMMY AND CRACKED ALL OVER. I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE THE EXTERIOR LOOKS GREAT AND IT RUNS LIKE NEW, BUT THE DASHBOARD NOW APPEARS TO BE A REAL PROBLEM. IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE AND HOW DO I KNOW THE SAME THING WILL NOT HAPPEN TO THE NEW ONE. I ALONG WITH HUNDREDS AND SOON TO BE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO FEEL TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT COULD TURN INTO A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIR BAGS ARE AFFECTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING CAUSING A GLARE, WHICH IMPAIRED THE DRIVERS VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE A REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,800.

I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD WAS STICKY AND CRACKING AND MELTING. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN POMPANO BEACH. PICTURES WERE TAKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND SUBMITTED TO TOYOTA DEMONSTRATING THE DEFECTS. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED TOYOTA MYSELF AND SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE COMPANY VOICING MY CONCERNS AND DEMANDED SOMEONE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE DONE MY OWN INVESTIGATION NOTING THAT EVERY TOYOTA OF MY MODEL AND AGE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD AND INTERIOR MELTING AND CRACKING. I WAS TOLD BOTH BY LETTER AND ON THE PHONE THAT MY CAR WAS OVER THE WARRANTEE AND THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE . I TOLD TOYOTA THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THEIR PRODUCT WAS INFERIOR AND THAT MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD DID NOT HAVE ISSUES MELTING SO WHY SHOULD MY 2007...

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE THAT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. IT IS GARAGED AND OUT THE SUN AND IS KEPT CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT. A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED FROM A DEALER THE DASH BEGAN CRACKING BY THE STEERING WHEEL, AROUND THE IGNITION AND ON THE GLOVE BOX TRIM. I TOOK IT TO A INTERIOR TRIM SPECIALIST AND SAID HE HAS SEEN DOZENS OF THIS MODEL WITH THE IDENTICAL PROGRAM. IT BEGINS AS A SMALL CRACK AND THEN SPREADS LIKE A SPIDER WEB. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT IS NOT RESELLABLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY DASH PANEL IS STICKY CRACKING AND IN A STATE OF DETERIORATION . MY CONCERN IS THAT IN AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT PARTS OF THIS CRACKED DASH COULD IMPACT MY EYES LIKE BROKEN GLASS. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND RARELY USED AS IT IS AT A VACATION HOME. IT DOES NOT SIT IN THE SUN OR A PARKING LOT. IT IS DETERIORATING ON ITS OWN. *TR

CRACKS ALL OVER DASHBOARD AND GLOVE COMPARTMENT. CRACKS AND PEELING NOT WARRANTED. CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY GARAGED AND ALSO WINDOW COVER TO PREVENT HEAT. MANY CLAIMS AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
