2008 TOYOTA CAMRY Structure Problems

MY DASHBOARD HAS PRACTICALLY MELTED. IT SHINES AND REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD WHILE I'M DRIVING, IMPAIRING MY VISION. WHENEVER I TRY TO WIPE IT, WHATEVER I'M USING STICKS TO IT AND WON'T COME OFF WITHOUT TEARING AND LEAVING PIECES ON IT. NOT ONLY IS IT AN EYESORE, BUT IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. *TR

2008 TOYOTA CAMERY SE INTERIOR DASHBOARD MELTING,STICKY AND DAMAGE. *JS

DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING.......AND BEING WET TO THE TOUCH....VERY SHINY AND CHANGING COLOR AND TEXTURE AS WELL AS APPEARANCE WORRIED ME. *JS

DASHBOARD IS MELTING, VERY STICKY AND MAKES A REFLEXION ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. SUN VISOR DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT STAY UP,SUDDENLY FAILS TO WORK PROPERLY CAUSING EXTREMELLY DIFICULT TIME FOR DRIVING. BOTH ISSUES PUT THE LIFE OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN DANGER. *JS

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND VERY STICKY. THIS IS CAUSING IT TO BE VERY SHINY AND CAUSING A DANGEROUS GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *JS

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SHRINKING, SOME OF THE BUTTONS LIKE MIRRORS ARE GETTING DEEP INSIDE IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH WITH THE FINGERS AS USUAL, IT IS CRACKING AND STICKY, YOU CAN SEE CRACKS AND GROVES AROUND, IT PICKS UP ALL DUST AND ANYTHING THAT GETS TO THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK THE CAR TO SERVICE FEW TIMES BUT THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT THE ISSUE, EVEN WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING IN MY CAR. *JS

THE ISSUE WITH MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY, IS THE DASH BOARD IS STARTING TO MELT. THUS MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. I'M CONCERNED WITH THIS BECAUSE IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE ON THE ROAD. *JS

I HAVE 2008 CAMRY AND HAVE HAD A MELTING DASHBOARD FOR FEW YEARS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE MELTED SURFACE REFLECTS SUNLIGHT ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE GLARE. IN ADDITION THE MELTED DASHBOARD COULD FUSE WITH THE AIRBAG COVER AND CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION. I QUESTION WHAT KIND OF CHEMICALS MAY BE RELEASED IN THE AIR AS WELL. *JS

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY AND NOTICED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO HAVE A STICKY FEELING. I LIVE IN WEST PALM BEACH, FL AND WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS I NOTICED AN ARTICLE ON THE CHANNEL 5 NEWS STATION THAT HAD A REPORT ON THE MELTING DASH IN THESE CARS. AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CAMRY DRIVERS, I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A "RECALL" ISSUE WITH TOYOTA AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT! I'VE SEEN THE ESTIMATES OTHER DRIVERS HAVE RECEIVED AFTER SPEAKING WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SEEM TO CHARGE AROUND $2500 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD; AND IT'S NOT EVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DRIVER! THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM AND TOYOTA NEEDS TO START TAKING CARE OF IT NOW! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA AGAIN, REGARDLESS OF THE HYPE OF THEIR EVERLASTING PRODUCTS. *JS

SINCE THE TEMPERATURE STARTED TO RISE HERE IN TX, MY 2008 CAMRY DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY. WHEN I TRIED CLEANING IT, I NOTICED THAT MY FINGER NAIL CHIPPED AWAY PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD. WHILE TRYING TO WIPE THE DASHBOARD, THE RAG IS ALSO STICKING TO THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME, I'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *TR

I NOTICED A WHILE AGO THAT MY DASHBOARD HAD A SHINY APPEARANCE TO IT. UPON TOUCHING IT, MY FINGER LEFT AN IMPRINT AND REALIZED IT WAS MELTING. ALSO, UPON DRIVING, THE GLARE COMING OFF OF THE MELTING DASH IS DISTRACTING WHEN IT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT MAKES DRIVING MORE DIFFICULT WHETHER IT BE IN THE DAY OR EVENING HOURS CAUSING "BLINDNESS". I CAN'T EVEN PUT THE SUNSHADE UP DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT'LL LEAVE AN IMPRESSION IN THE DASH. THIS IS ALL VERY DANGEROUS AND AN IMPEDIMENT TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND IMPAIRED HER VISION OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000. UPDATED 08/19/14*LJ

I'M REPORTING ON MY 08 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE DASHBOARD HAS A SHINE TO IT AND IS STICKY. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORST OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN'T EVEN WIPE THE DASHBOARD OFF TO CLEAN IT. I HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AROUND THE DASHBOARD OR BITS AND PIECES OF THE VINYL WILL COME OFF EXPOSING THE FOAM LAYER UNDERNEATH. THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED BY MY DRIVER SIDE AC VENT WHILE CLEANING THE DASH OVER A YEAR AGO. THE SHINE OF THE DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE SUN AND ONCOMING CARS AT NIGHT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALSO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP BOTH WHICH REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND WOULD NOT REPLACE OR DISCOUNT ANY REPAIRS. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE FIXED AND ANYONE ELSE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEM AND MYSELF...

I OWN A TOYOTA CAMRY 2008 LE (4 CYL. ). I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR SERVICING SEVERAL TIMES (NORMAL OIL CHANGES), THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS GETTING SHINY, DISINTEGRATING AND FALLING APART. THEY TOOK PHOTOS OF IT AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD REPLACE IT WHEN TOYOTA GRANTED THEM PERMISSION TO DO SO. ON JUNE 19, 2014, I WAS CALLED BY A FEMALE FROM THE DEALER AND TOLD THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PART ( ALLEGEDLY THE PART COSTS $2200.00, AND THEY WOULD BEAR THE COSTS OF THE PART), BUT SINCE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, BUT SECOND OWNER, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY LABOR COSTS OF $525.00. OBVIOUSLY, I DO NOT WANT TO PART WITH $525.00 FOR A FAULTY, CHEAP, BADLY ENGINEERED PART WHICH HAS SAFETY ISSUES AND OR DESIGN FLAWS, AND REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER ONE OF THE SAME KIND. IF REPLACING THE DASHBOARD...

I HAVE A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY AND THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH. I NOTICED IT A WHILE BACK AND WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THEY ASKED ME IF I NOTICED IT. THEY FIRST ASKED ME IF I WAS USING ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR TO CLEAN IT AND WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING. I HAD NOT USED ANY AMORAL OR ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE DAMAGED IT AND I BOUGHT THE CAR USED SO I CAN'T REALLY TELL WHEN IT STARTED. SINCE THEN, I HAVE SPOKE WITH CAR DEALERS AND CAR DETAILERS THAT HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE POOR MATERIAL THEY USED, BUT NONE OF THE MANUFACTURERS WERE RECALLING THE MELTING DASHBOARDS. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN IT STARTED BUT I NOTICED A VERY BAD GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD A COUPLE OF YEARS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE GLARE KEPT GETTING WORSE AND WAS MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. IN 2012 WE REALIZED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS DISINTEGRATING. IF YOU TOUCH THE DASHBOARD YOUR HANDS WILL STICK TO IT AND THE BLACK STICKY SUBSTANCE WILL STAY ON YOUR HANDS UNTIL YOU WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM UNTIL TODAY WHEN I SAW A NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. NOT ONLY AM I CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF VISIBILITY DUE TO THE GLARE, I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF TOXIC FUMES FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD INSIDE MY VEHICLE. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO MULTIPLE VEHICLE MECHANICS AND THEY...

I BOUGHT MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY IN SEPTEMBER 2012 AND SHORTLY AFTER THE DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING. IT IS NOW VERY STICKY AND CONTINUES TO MELT. BECAUSE OF THE MELTING, THE WINDSHIELD PRODUCES A GLARE AND MAKES DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT DURING THE DAY. I CANNOT DRIVE UNLESS I AM WEARING POLARIZED SUNGLASSES, WHICH HELPS MINIMIZE THE GLARE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE REFLECTION OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD. I AM ESPECIALLY NERVOUS WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE MY 10 MONTH OLD NIECE AROUND! NOTHING WILL CLEAN THE DASHBOARD AND IT CONTINUES TO MELT BECOMING STICKIER WHICH IN TURNS CAUSES EVERY LITTLE PARTICLE OF LINT, DUST, GRIME, ETC TO STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. I EVEN USE A SUNSHADE DAILY TO HELP KEEP MY CAR COOLER AND I ALSO PARK IN THE GARAGE AT HOME, BUT THE DASH STILL MELTS AND...

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY PEOPLE THAT OWN TOYOTA'S . IT IS BECOMING A HAZARD TO ME. THERE IS A VERY SHINY GLARE ON THE DASHBOARD WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD FOR ME TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I WENT TO A DEALER HERE IN FT. MYERS FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD THAT TOYOTA WOULD COVER THE EXPENSE OF $1,600 FOR A NEW DASHBOARD AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR IN THE AMOUNT OF $300. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE LABOR COST AS IT IS A DEFECT OF TOYOTA. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO REPLACE MY DEFECTED DASHBOARD AT NO COST TO ME. *JS

THE DASHBOARD ON THE CAMRY IS MELTING IN THE TEXAS SUN. THE CAR IS PARKED INSIDE OUR GARAGE EXCEPT FOR THE EARLY MORNINGS. WHEN IT IS HOTTER THAN 75 OUTSIDE THE DASH BECOMES EXTREMELY SOFT AND STICKY. WHEN IT GETS ABOVE 80 THE DASH STARTS TO GET SHINY, REAL SHINY TO WHERE IT REFLECTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. ADDITIONALLY THE OFF GASSING FROM THE DASH CAUSES A FILM ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT HAS TO BE CLEANED EVERY WEEKEND. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE FOR REPAIRS/REMEDIES AND HAVE COME ACROSS HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS IN HOT CLIMATE ZONES WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE ON THEIR CAMRY AND LEXUS OF THE SAME PRODUCTION MODEL YEARS. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY / MELTING. IT CREATES A BAD GLARE MAKING IT HARD TO SEE WHEN DAYTIME DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY 2008. I REPORTED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY WHEN I WENT FOR MY 32,000 MILE CHECK UP. THE DEALER REP. SAID," OH DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, I'M SURE THERE WILL BE A RECALL BECAUSE WE ARE SEEING IT ON LOTS OF CARS. MY DAUGHTER IN LAW HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON HER 2007 MODEL. BOTH OF OURS WERE GRAY IN COLOR. SEVERAL YEARS LATER AND NO RECALL AND A DISGUSTING DASH BOARD. IT IS SO MELTED THAT IN FLORIDA WITH OUR HIGH BUG COUNT, I HAVE TO PULL BUGS AND WINGS OUT WITH A TWEEZER WHEN WINTER ROLLS AROUND. THE DASHBOARD GETS A LITTLE LESS SOFT IN THE COLD WEATHER, BUT IS STILL STICKY AND CANNOT BE CLEANED. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO LAND ON THE DASHBOARD, A FLOATING PIECE OF PAPER, A BOX IN THE FRONT SEAT THAT FALLS FORWARD AND IT EITHER STICKS OR...

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT HAS BECOME VERY STICKY AND SHINNY. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE FRONT WINDOW DUE TO THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD ON SUNNY DAYS. I AM WORRIED THAT THE GLARE MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JS

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS MELTING. IT IS VERY STICKY, SOFT AND CANNOT BE TOUCHED. IT APPEARS WET AND SLICK AND IS MAKING A GLARE APPEAR WHEN YOU LOOK OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT IS IMPAIRING THE DRIVER'S VISION. *JS

DASH IS MELTING. SHINY SPOTS ARE AFFECTING VISION. CANNOT CLEAN IT. WHEELS ARE RUSTED, ALL PAINT IS GONE. DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT FIX. SAID IT IS MY FAULT. *JS

DUE TO THE DETERIORATION OF THE DASHBOARD, WHERE IT IS BASICALLY MELTING AND VERY SHINY AND STICKY, WHEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN, THE SUNS RAYS REFLECTING OFF OF THE DASH BASICALLY ARE A BLINDING FACTOR ON VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CARE CENTER AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE WITH THE DASH DETERIORATION TO THEM. THEIR REP ACKNOWLEDGED THEY RECOGNIZED OTHER OWNERS HAD REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH THE DASH BUT UNLESS THE CAR WAS UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY, THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. THE REP ALSO NOTED TOYOTA DETERMINED THE CAUSE TO BE "ENVIRONMENTAL" AND PRIMARILY OCCURRING IN FLORIDA, WHERE I LIVE. IN RESEARCHING OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINTS ON-LINE, THIS ISSUE IS CLEARLY SYSTEMIC. AND, THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS CONDITION EFFECTING VISIBILITY. HAS THE NHTSA INVESTIGATED THE POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN TO THE PUBLIC...

MY DASH ON MY CAMRY IS STICKY AND SHINY. WHEN THE SUN HITS MY DASH IT CAUSES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD. THERE IS DOCUMENTATION ONLINE ABOUT SOME CAMRY'S HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS. THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THE CAR AND TOYOTA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE DASH FOR FREE. I AM TOLD THE PRICE TO REPLACE THE DASH IS $1,586 AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL GIVE A 10% DISCOUNT. THE TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE I CONTACTED STATED THEY WOULD OFFER ASSISTANCE TO FIX THE DASH AND MY PORTION WOULD BE AROUND $700-$750. I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AS THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

I AM AN OWNER OF A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY SE. THE DASHBOARD ON MY VEHICLE STARTED MELTING, BECAME STICKY/SHINY AND HAS AN AWFUL GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS STARTED AFTER THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED ON THE VEHICLE AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED DOES NOT COVER TRIM FOR THE VEHICLE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO TOYOTA FOR ROUTINE SERVICE FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE DASHBOARD. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THEY HAVE ALREADY CHANGED MULTIPLE DASHBOARDS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO RESOLVE (1100 FOR PART AND 660 FOR LABOR), AND TO CALL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AFTER A REVIEW BY TOYOTA THEY SAID THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE PART BUT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LABOR. I WAS TOLD THAT...

I HAVE A TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 2008. MY DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING AND ALMOST DISINTEGRATING. THIS STARTED WITHIN THE WARRANTY TIME WHERE IT BECAME "STICKY" BUT HAS NOW GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY MUCH WORSE. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I AM UNSURE IF THE EFFECTS OF THIS MELTED DASHBOARD WILL HAVE AN AFFECT ON THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM OR OTHER INTERIOR STRUCTURES. IT IS ALSO CREATING A SHINY "REFLECTING" EFFECT WHICH MAKES IT HARDER TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION, ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER SAID THAT HE WAS AWARE OF SUCH PROBLEM BUT BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER WARRANTY HAS QUOTED ME $1,300. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT AS I HAVE HEARD THE SAME THING FROM MANY OTHERS, APPEARS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT THAT TOYOTA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, TOYOTA STATED THEY WILL PAY 300. AN MY COST 1100. *TR

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BECAME LOOSE AND EVENTUALLY FELL OFF. THERE WAS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, NO ROUGHNESS, JUST NORMAL USE. LOOSE ONE DAY AND WOULD NOT HOLD IN PLACE (EITHER UP OR DOWN). FINALLY FELL OFF IN MY LAP. TOYOTA SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, BUT WOULD NOT FIX FOR FREE BECAUSE OF EXPIRED WARRANTY. REPLACEMENT COSTS +$120.00. I FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER CUSTOMERS ON LINE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED FOR CUSTOMERS. WHY WOULD SO MANY FOLKS HAVE THE VISOR SUDDENLY FALL OFF? *JS

VIBRATION OF 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY WHEN AIR CONDITION IS TURNED ON. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A NORMAL VIBRATION FOR 4 CYLINDERS WHEN THE A/C WAS TURNED ON. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WAS MADE BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL. DOES OCCUR WITH OTHER TOYOTA 4 CYLINDER VEHICLES. ONLY OCCURS WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON.... *TR

A FEW DAYS AFTER I TOOK POSSESSION OF MY 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE SPLASH GUARD CAME OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT (1) I HAD GONE OVER SOMETHING AND PULLED IT OFF, OR (2) THE FACTORY MAY NOT HAVE TIGHTENED THE BOLTS ENOUGH. THE DEALER TIGHTENED THE BOLTS. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING OCCURRED. THIS TIME, I NOTICED THAT THE WHEELS WERE HITTING THE SPLASH GUARD WHEN I TURNED SHARPLY. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM BUT ALL THE DEALER DID WAS TIGHTEN THE BOLTS AGAIN. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BOLTS WERE TIGHTENED, I NOTED THAT THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL SHARPLY. I FINALLY HAD A FREE DAY AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN AND TOLD THE DEALER THAT THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING. AGAIN, I AM BEING BLAMED FOR GOING OVER THINGS IN THE ROAD AND THEY REFUSE TO LOOK INTO THE...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THERE IS A GLARE IN THE REAR WINDOW THAT HINDERS THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS NOT A VEHICLE SAFETY DEFECT, BUT RATHER A DESIGN FLAW. THE CONTACT PURCHASED SOME BLACK FABRIC AND LAID IT ACROSS THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOW, WHICH REMEDIED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 6/16/08 *CN UPDATED
