2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA Unknown Or Other Problems

DASHBOARD IS MELTING, STICKY, SHINY, CREATES DANGEROUS GLARE.

ON MONDAY JULY 30TH, I TOOK MY 2008 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE INTO HILAND TOYOTA'S DEALERSHIP IN MOLINE, ILLINOIS AND DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM OF THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT IS CURRENTLY MELTING IN MY CAR. I HAVE NOTICED THIS STARTING TO OCCUR SINCE JULY 16TH, 2018 WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN AND MY FINGERNAIL GOT CAUGHT WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. I AM ALSO BLINDED BY THE REFLECTIONS ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY THE STICKY DASHBOARD AND IT'S CREATING A FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH, EVEN WITH MULTIPLE CLEANINGS. HILAND TOYOTA OBSERVED THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE SINCE IT WAS AFTER THE MAY 31ST, 2017 EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS FILMED UP AFTER CLEANING IT THE DAY BEFORE, AND OF THE FINGERNAIL PRINT. THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED NUMEROUS TOYOTA AND LEXUS OWNERS AND TOYOTA HAS NOT...

MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA'S DASHBOARD COVER IS A STICKY GOOEY MESS.

THE REAR GLASS HEATED WINDOW LEAKS LIKE A SIVE. IT'S MOLDED UP MY TRUNK AND I HAVE TO LET THE WATER OUT BY DISLODGING THE TRUNK PLUG SO IT DOESN'T ACCUMULATE. NOT COOL, BUT I DO LOVE THE DRIVE! ADD A SCARF AND IT FEELS LIKE PARIS... WE JUST KEEP ADDING SEALANT IN BLACK TO KEEP THE WATER OUT EVERY FALL BEFORE THE RAIN KICKS IN.

THIS IS A CORRECTION TO MY COMPLAINT #11046531 WHICH CONTAINED AN INCORRECT DATE. HERE IS THE CORRECTED COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. THE DASH BEGAN TO HAVE SMALL CRACKING A FEW YEARS AGO BUT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT BUT JUST THIS MONTH THE CRACKS ENLARGED AND SPREAD. I LOOKED ON LINE TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE HAVING A PROBLEM AND MANY PEOPLE HAD. I PHONED TOYOTA 800-331-4331 AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD A RECALL PROGRAM BUT IT EXPIRED MAY 31 2017 AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW. THEY SAID THEY SENT ME A LETTER VIA US MAIL BUT I TOLD THEM I NEVER RECEIVED IT NOR WAS I AWARE OF THEIR RECALL PROGRAM. SHE ALSO SAID IF MY DEALERSHIP HAD NOTICED IT THEY COULD HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT IT. I HAD MY CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP 12/2015 AND THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT...

MY CAR DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND WHEN I DRIVE IT'S REFLECTED ON THE WINDSHIELD IT IS DESTRUCTIVE AND HARD TO DRIVE.

THE DASH HAS ALL CRACKED.

ON 8-19-2016, I WAS LEAVING THE HEALTH CLUB AT APPROX. 5:30 P.M. AND WENT TO CAR, TURNED ON ENGINE, PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND IT JOLTED AND SOARED BACKWARDS, GOING OVER THE MEDIAN AND HITTING SIX PARKED CARS. BRAKES DID NOT WORK DURING THIS INCIDENT. THOSE CARS SUSTAINED DAMAGES, MY CAR , A 2007 SOLARA, WAS TOTALED OUT. THIS COMPLAINT IS LATE DUE TO AN ALREADY PLANNED RELOCATION, WHICH HAS OCCURRED. STILL EXPERIENCING SOME MILD PTSD AS A RESULT.

HOOD LATCH WILL NOT CONNECT THE PART THAT IS BROKE IS THE PIECE ATTACHED TO THE CAR NOT THE PIECE ON HOOD

WHEN I BROUGHT IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA CONVERTIBLE FOR A FAULTY LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR, ANOTHER PROBLEM WAS DETECTED. I ASKED TO SEE THE ISSUE WHILE THE CAR WAS UP ON THE LIFT. I COULD OBSERVE WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SHREDDING/DAMAGED RACK AND PINION POWER STEERING BOOT WITH FLUID VISIBLE. THE FIRST DEALER WRITTEN ESTIMATE SAYS "REPLACE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION (FOUND POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING INTO BOOT OF RACK AND PINION)" FOR $1354.88, PLUS 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT FOR $160.95. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDED REPLACING ONE RACK AND PINION BOOT AND THAT POWER STEERING FLUID GASKET, FOR $594.58 PLUS A $99 ALIGNMENT, WHICH I DID. THE DEALER CHECKED AND THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT I CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM, WHETHER THE...

DASHBOARD IS MELTING. VERY STICKY. AND REFLECTING ON WINDSHIELD. *TR
