2008 TOYOTA CAMRY Structure Problems

I AM HAVING DASHBOARD MELTING PROBLEM IN TOYOTA CAMRY 2008. IT LOOKS LIKE NOT ONLY ME HAVING THIS PROBLEM BUT IT IS MOST LIKELY MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE TOYOTA CAMRY. IT IS NOT ONLY SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU DRIVE IN THE SUNLIGHT BUT ALSO BRING QUESTION ON PRODUCT QUALITY AND IT'S BRAND NAME. TOYOTA SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RECALL AND RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM ASAP. *TR

STARTING IN 2012 AND INCREASINGLY GETTING WORSE, THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO GET SHINY AND VERY STICKY. IT APPEARED TO BE MELTING. I FIRST NOTICED IT AT NIGHT WITH STREET LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS CREATING VERY BAD GLARE, I THOUGHT MY EYES WERE GETTING BAD UNTIL I DROVE ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THE DAY TIME ON BRIGHT DAYS WITHOUT SOMETHING ON THE DASH TO BLOCK THE REFLECTION. IT IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH, ANTS WILLS WILL STICK TO THE DASHBOARD AND IT IS EASILY GOUGED. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN BUT IT DID NOT IMPROVE THE SITUATION. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE GLARE DURING THE DAY SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITING VISIBILITY. MY FAMILY MEMBERS WHO MAY DRIVE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY DRIVE MY CAR AND STATE THEY DID NOT FEEL SAFE WITHOUT PUTTING A...

I PURCHASED THIS 2007 CAR NEW IN LATE 2006. AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS, THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO GET SHINY AND VERY STICKY. IT APPEARED TO BE MELTING. IF YOU TOUCH IT, IT IS STICKY AND CAN EASILY BE GOUGED. NO AMOUNT OF CLEANING IS ABLE TO RESOLVE THE SHINY, STICKY MESS. DURING THE DAY, THE DASHBOARD HAS SO MUCH GLARE THAT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD (CAR HAS A GREY INTERIOR WITH A LIGHT GREY DASH) WITHOUT PUTTING A TOWEL OR DARK SWEATSHIRT ON THE DASH TO COVER THE GLARE. I HAVE NEVER USED ANY CHEMICAL PRODUCT ON THE DASH. NO ARMOR ALL OR OTHER PRODUCTS WERE EVER USED. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN GEORGIA JUST NORTH OF THE FLORIDA BORDER NOW. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, I LIVED IN MASSACHUSETTS. I MOVED TO GEORGIA IN 2008 AND THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2011-2012. THIS IS AN EXTREME...

THE DASHBOARD HAS MOLTEN AND BECOME SHINY. THE WINDSHIELD REFLECTS LIGHT FROM THE DASHBOARD THAT MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR DRIVER'S VISION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

VEHICLE DASH STARTED MELTING AND BECAME REFLECTIVE. THIS IS HAZARDOUS SITUATION. NOW IT IS A STAGE WHEN DRIVING UNDER SUN BECOMES UNBEARABLE AND REFLECTION IS SO BAD THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. DASH IS COMPLETELY MELTED AND BEING POOR DESIGN. DEALER SAID IT HAPPENS IN 1 OUT OF 10 CARS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY MELTING. IT IS STICKY AND REFLECTS A GLARE THAT PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. *TR

MY DASH HAS BEEN STICKY TWO YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2008. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THEM THAT THIS IS S DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT. MY OTHER CAR IS A TOYOTA COROLLA AND THE DASH IS NOT LIKE THIS. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS A DEFECT FOR THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN STICKY SUBSTANCE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT REFLECTED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VISION WAS OBSTRUCTED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT AND IS CAUSING GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING REMEDIES IT AND THERE IS QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY PROPERLY DUE TO THE INCREASED ELASTICITY OF THE DASHBOARD. *TR

RECALL - NEED THE MELTING DASH AND RESULTING GLARE FIXED. *TR

THE TOP OF THE ENTIRE DASH IS MELTING CAUSING A VERY HIGH GLOSS APPEARANCE WHICH MAKES A GLARE ON THE INSIDE OF WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY WITH LIGHTS FROM ONCOMING TRAFFIC GLARING OF WINDSHIELD. IT ALSO HAS SOME GLARE DURING THE DAY AS YOU CAN SEE THE SHINY DASH REFLECTING OFF THE INSIDE OF WINDSHIELD. SOME DAYS WORSE THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE TEMPERATURE OR AMOUNT THE SUN HAS BEEN HITTING THE TOP OF DASH THUS MELTING IT MORE AND MAKING IT MORE SHINY. *TR

DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING. OTHER SIMILAR CAMRY'S HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS?? *TR

THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING WITH SUN EXPOSURE, IT'S ALSO VERY STICKY. IT CAUSES A BAD GLARE ON WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. A RECALL IS URGENTLY NEEDED FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR

MY DASHBOARD HAS "MELTED" AND THERE IS AN ANNOYING GLARE CAUSING A "WHITEOUT" WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY AND WHEN YOU RUB IT, THE DASHBOARD IS REMOVED IN LITTLE PIECES. THERE IS SUCH A GLARE OFF THE DASHBOARD FROM THE SUN THAT IT BLOCKS MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY AT TIMES. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IN MY CAMRY HAS BEEN MELTING FOR SOME TIME. I HAD BEEN TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD DO ABOUT IT. ALTHOUGH NOW IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I HAVE AN AWFUL GLARE WHEN I DRIVE DURING THE DAY. THIS GLARE IS CAUSING ME TO AT TIMES STRUGGLE TO SEE. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER AND EVEN GO AS FAR AS PLACING A SHIRT ACROSS MY DASHBOARD TO BLOCK THE GLARE. I WORRY THAT THE GLARE MIGHT CAUSE ME TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD THE AIRBAGS BE ABLE TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY IF THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED? *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 CAMRY HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY SOFT AND STICKY OVER THE PAST YEAR. IT IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND FEELS LIKE YOU ARE TOUCHING THE BACK OF SOME KIND OF TAPE. EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO CLEAN. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE COURSE OF CALENDAR YEAR 2014. MY CAR DOES STAY OUTSIDE, SO PROBABLY DOES GET MORE SUN THAN IF IT STAYED IN A GARAGE; HOWEVER, A DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT START TO MELT JUST BECAUSE A CAR HAS BEEN OUT IN THE SUN. I HAVE PUT NO TYPE OF CLEANER ON THE DASHBOARD EXCEPT FOR MAYBE AN OCCASIONAL WIPE DOWN WITH ARMORALL (A PRODUCT THAT SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS SITUATION). THE MORE THE DASHBOARD MELTS AND GETS STICKY, THE MORE I HAVE NOTICED A BRIGHT GLARE COMING OFF OF IT, WHICH I AM CONCERNED COULD CAUSE SOME VISIBILITY ISSUES...

MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS MELTED AND STICKY. ITS SO BAD ITS PUTTING GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD AND I CAN BARELY SEE WHEN DRIVING. THIS ISSUE IS MAKING DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WHEN THE SUN IS OUT BECAUSE I KNOW MY VISIBILITY WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO THE GLARE MAKING IT UNSAFE FOR ME AND PUTTING OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON MY YEAR/MAKE/MODEL CAR AND I'M HOPING SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAMRY IS MELTING AND PIECES ARE CHIPPING OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD BECAME MELTED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SUNLIGHT WOULD REFLECT OFF THE STICKY SURFACE ON THE DASH BOARD CREATING A VISIBILITY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PROBLEM BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR I NOTICED AN AREA ON THE DASHBOARD. THINKING SOMEONE HAD SPILLED SOMETHING, I ATTEMPTED TO WIPE IT AND THE CLOTH LITERALLY STUCK TO THE DASHBOARD. IT WAS GOOEY. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS IT GOT WORSE AND MORE WIDESPREAD TO NOW BE ALL THE DASHBOARD AREA. I AM FINDING OUT THAT THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMMON. TOYOTA SHOULD RECALL THE DASHBOARD AND REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE SHINY STICKY MATERIAL REFLECTS SUNLIGHT BACK INTO THE EYES OF THE DRIVER. ADDITIONALLY, KEEPING THE CAR CLEAN IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT BECAUSE EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT THERE ARE SPOTS WHERE THE DARK MATERIAL OF THE DASHBOARD SURFACE HAS COME OFF AND THE SURFACE BENEATH IS NOW SHOWING. I CALLED...

THE DASHBOARD TOP ON THIS VEHICLE HAS MELTED INTO A STICKY MESS WHICH IS A GLARING REPRESENTATION OF FAULTY MATERIALS USED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THIS COMPONENT OF AN OTHERWISE FINE CAR. THE ODOR AND GLARE OFF THE DASH IS ALSO QUITE DISTRACTING. TOYOTA SHOULD REALLY OFFER ITS CUSTOMERS A VERY LOW-COST SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM, IF NOT A COMPLIMENTARY FIX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING, DETERIORATING, AND TURNING INTO A STICKY SUBSTANCE. THE STICKY SUBSTANCE WAS LEAKING ONTO COMPONENTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE WINDSHIELD. IN ADDITION, THE DASHBOARD FAILURE PRODUCED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DASH BOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING! STICKY AND STARTING TO DEGRADE!! *TR

MY VEHICLES FRONT DASHBOARD HAS BECOME A GIANT STICKY MESS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN. AS TIME GOES ON, IT BECOMES SHINIER AND STICKIER. IF A NAPKIN OR TISSUE TOUCHES IT, THE DASHBOARD "GLUE" WON'T LET GO OF IT. IT TRAPS AND KILLS INSECTS IF THEY TOUCH IT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND NOT A CONDITION BROUGHT ON THROUGH USER MISTREATMENT OF THE DASH. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. THE ISSUE I'M HAVING IS THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTS, BECOMES STICKY AND DAMAGE WHILE THIS VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE SUN. I BELIEVED THAT MY VEHICLES WAS UNIQUE TO THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BUT RECENTLY A NEW REPORT SHOWING OTHER INDIVIDUALS WERE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME TYPE OF PROBLEMS WAS AIRED. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS APPARENT FLAW. *TR

THE FRONT DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT IS BECOMING VERY STICKY (EVEN WITH A SUNSHADE) AND SHINY DURING WARMER DAYS. WHEN IT IS SHINY, THE GLARE CAN GET VERY BAD AND I HAVE HAD TO GET POLARIZED SUNGLASSES TO BLOCK THE GLARE. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE AFTER LEARNING THAT MANY OTHER CARS OF THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

2008 CAMRY DASHBOARD IS MELTING! YOU CAN'T EVEN TOUCH IT! *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING ON MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY LE THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CAMRY OWNERS THIS IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN COMPONENT THAT THE DASHBOARD IS MADE OF. THIS SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL FOR A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. *TR

I WAS CLEANING MY DASHBOARD AND NOTICED THE INTERIOR WAS WIPING OFF WITH IT. AS I CONTINUED CLEANING... IT LEFT GASHES... AND LENT FROM THE CLEANING CLOTH STUCK TO THE DASHBOARD. RECENTLY, I NOTICE A GLARE ( THE SAME EFFECT A MIRROR HAS WHEN LIGHT HITS IT) COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE COULD BE INTERNAL PROBLEMS OCCURRING UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD FROM ALL OF THE MELTING. I HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE NOW INSTEAD OF LATER BEFORE MORE PROBLEMS OCCUR. *TR

I HAVE A MELTING DASHBOARD THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN. THERE ARE A LOT OF SCRATCHES AND INDENTATIONS FROM TRYING TO CLEAN IT. SMALL BUGS TEND TO CLING TO IT BECAUSE OF THE STICKINESS. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AFTER WE BOUGHT OUR CAMRY, WE NOTICED THAT THE DASH PANEL WAS STARTING TO GET STICKY. WE TRIED WIPING IT DOWN BUT IT DID NOT WORK AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. IT ALSO CREATES A TREMENDOUS GLARE THAT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS AS WELL AS A UGLY AND NASTY EYESORE. *TR

I OWN A TOYOTA CAMRY 2008, AND WITHIN THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED MY DASHBOARD IS GOOEY AND STICKY I CANT SEEM TO CLEAN IT OR GET RID OF THE STICKINESS. I HAVE CALLED THE TOYOTA HELP CENTER AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME OR PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. I EXPLAINED TO THEM HOW BAD THE DAMAGE IS FOR ONLY TOYOTA TO DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN CARSON, CALIFORNIA TO GET AN ESTIMATE OF $2,480.75 FOR REPAIRS. I WOULD THINK TOYOTA WOULD MAKE A RECALL AND GET THIS DASHBOARD SITUATION FIXED. NOW MY DASHBOARD IS CAUSING A GLARE ON MY DRIVERS SIDE TO ONLY MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE WHILE IM DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE GLARE IS SUFFICIENT TO GIVE ME A BLIND SPOT. I NEED ANY HELP TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT TAKES PLACE DUE TO TOYOTA BEING IRRESPONSIBLE....

I PURCHASED MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY SE ON 8/18/2012. SEVERAL DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS EXCESSIVELY STICKY AND SHINY, SO MUCH SO THAT THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. I THEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE MATTER, BUT NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ANY ANSWERS AND THEIR ONLY SOLUTION TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM WAS TO SUGGEST THAT I PURCHASE A DASHBOARD COVER. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAMRY SE BEGAN TO CRYSTALLIZE AND BECAME STICKY TO THE TOUCH. IT IS NOW SO STICKY THAT THE LEAST TOUCH AND NICK PULLS THE VINYL RIGHT OFF. IT IS SO SHINY THAT IT GIVES OFF A REFLECTION WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING WHEN DRIVING AS IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IS IN YOUR EYES. THE GLARE MAKES FOR A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE YOUR JUDGMENT IS AFFECTED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY THE DEALER. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHERS WITH CAMRYS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE GLARE ON THE DASHBOARD IS A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE ARE SEVERAL WEBSITES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS SAME MODEL. *TR

I LIVE IN FL AND MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THIS IS CAUSING A HUGE GLARE WHEN I DRIVE ON THE WINDOW. BEING 90 YEARS OLD I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE NHTSA DATABASE. TOYOTA WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1,000 FOR A NEW DASHBOARD BUT TO ME THIS SHOULD BE COVERED DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FRONT DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY. THE GLARE IS NOW WORSE THAN TYPICAL AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS A STICKY RESIDUE ON THE ENTIRE SURFACE. THE RESIDUE CAN CAUSE A DISTRACTING SUN GLARE AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY. I HAVE TRIED CLEANING IT WITH SEVERAL NON ABRASIVE PRODUCTS AND IT IS STILL A PERSISTENT PROBLEM. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY VEHICLE HAS BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND IS PEELING AWAY AS I WIPE IT. *TR

BEGAN NOTICING THE DASHBOARD WAS BEGINNING TO FEEL VERY STICKY & COULD NOT BE WIPED OFF. IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE, BUGS STICKING TO IT & NOT ABLE TO WIPE OFF. COULDN'T USE SUN SHADES AS THE BOTTOM WOULD RIP FROM BEING STUCK. THE WORST, HOWEVER, IS THE GLARE THAT CAUSES ALMOST BLINDNESS WHEN DRIVING. YOU JUST CAN'T HARDLY SEE & I BELIEVE THAT IS A DANGER & SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE YEARS AGO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MINE HAS BEEN IN THIS SHAPE FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS OR MORE. *TR

MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. AT FIRST IT WAS A LITTLE STICKY, BUT NOW IT FLAKES IF YOU TOUCH IT. MY HUSBAND ORDERED ME A COVER OVER THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSING A GLARE AND IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO SEE. I TALKED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE HAD NOT BEEN A RECALL ON IT. IT WOULD COST $2800 TO REPLACE IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASH CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION. *TR
