Whie driving the dashboard is very reflective and blinding. this is because of the stickiness substance. it needs to be replaced. i have not had a accident but i don't use the car during the day time because the sun is always out shiny in texas where i reside and i don't want to have a accident.
The dashboard of my 2007 toyota camry is very sticky. while driving i receive a glare on my eyes coming from the dashboard. very unsafe to drive. i read many complaints of camry owners about this issue. my car is always garaged so it receive less exposure to the sun.
My safety issue is the melting rubber dashboard issue becoming sticky, shiny and reflecting a glare reducing and blinding my visibility when driving. i purchased in 2016 a used toyota camry le from a used car dealership. in summer 2018 i noticed the dashboard was tacky to the touch. i asked at a car supplies and parts store if they knew what caused this but no one could help me. i asked carmax one time about this and told it must me something i put on the car which i had not. then this summer 2019 the dashboard became so sticky and shiny with melting rubber and glare so blinding it reduces my view of the road and now is very dangerous to drive in any bright sunshine or oncoming car headlights. on 10-13-2019 while driving i turned a curve on a busy road and was completely blinded by glare and narrowly missed hitting an oncoming car. i keep a clean car and all glass so this is not a buildup on the glass. on 10-14-2019 i began online research and found there had indeed been a problem so i went directly to toyota customer care and emailed this ...
My dashboard has a sticky film and when sunlight is present it's hazardous to see. this has been an ongoing concern with toyota cars between 2007-2009. i contacted toyota for general information for replacement on 26 oct 19. according to a toyota rep on 1 nov 19, recall notices were sent to registered owners by reaching out through their local mva in the state of maryland. all vehicles i ever owned were always registered but i never received a correspondence from the toyota. now the recall has expired and i'm responsible should i want to make the repair and no other resolutions. this what i received from toyota after being a loyal customer.

Passenger visor not working
Passenger side sun visor broke due to defect in the inner plastic body. making the arm unable to hold the visor in place effectively.
Dashboard on 2007 toyota camry xle is melting. noticed several months back that it was tacky to the touch and seemed to get worse as the weather heated up. glare is becoming more of a problem, specifically on hot sunny days, melting dashboard put a small gouge in the dashboard when something was set on it and then moved. debris and dust is also collecting on the dashboard. will become more hazardous as time goes on. called both toyota and the dealership. toyota informed me that my vehicle was not on recall list and too wait to see if another recall would be issued. dealership wants to charge over $2,000 for part and labor. i have kept my car in the garage and dashboard has seemed a little slower to deteriorate compared to others, but now that it is breaking down, will most likely decline quicker. a problem created by toyota also affects resale and trade in value of the vehicle at no fault of the owner.
There is an oil consumption issue and toyota is saying it is an extended warranty issue, that has expired and that i am going to have to fix it and pay for it all out of pocket. this should be a recall not a waranty issue. it's not fair or right and they should stand behind their production issues that are flawed. this is a saftey issue because the light doesn't even come on when it is low, so if i don't check often then i am in danger when i am driving. i bought the car to drive, not to become a mechanic.
I bought my 2007 camry in 2006 and it has been great till the last 6 months when the dash board started to get sticky and is now fully sticky and glossy to the point where the sun reflects off it and is blinding. toyota said they had a recall which i was never notified. the address when i bought my car is the same in my driver's license and i never changed it. i live in buena park since 1991 and my drivers license has that address since i was 18 (18 years ago). i called toyota and they said the recall needed and its. ot their concern. i find it irresponsible that toyota takes no action for faulty manufacturing of their products and shifts the fault to the consumer when i had no idea there was any issues. secondly when they had the gas pedal recall i took my car in for maintenance and when i got it back they cut the pedal without my knowledge and said a replacement was on back order. i have since 2010 requested the replacement till 2011 and they always said it in back order. i gave up asking because i got ...
So in my 2007 toyota camry my windshield that had no chips and was in perfect condition. and parked in a parking lot. i was sitting in my car about to get out when i watched the windshield crack by itself independently nothing hitting it no chips or imperfections to make it crack no sounds nothing it started on the passenger side in a spiderweb fashion and cracked all the way across my windshield and keeps continuing to spiderweb across the entire windshild there was no chips initially nothing hit it no pressure after talking to several professionals they also can not see a reason for the cracked windshield states it looks like it cracked from the center out. i researched and found i'm not the only person this has happened to on this make and model car
I purchased this car brand new from the dealer who registered it and gave me paperwork listing my address on all of the forms. i just recently found out that there was an extended warranty program for the driver side visor defect. i had been having issues with it for a few years but since i rarely drive during the daytime it wasn't an issue until my shift changed. so now it's broken and today, years later, toyota tells me that the warranty information was sent to an address other than the one i have lived since i purchased this car. since i didn't register the car and all of my paperwork had my then and still address on it, i feel that they should honor the warranty because they sent it to an address that wasn't mine. they will not give me the address but referred me to my state' dmv, who also will not give me this phantom address where my info was sent. colonial toyota registered the car for me so i have no idea what mistakes were made in the registration process and no way of getting the information. toyota is doing what all big companies ...

Dashboard has melted and is very sticky. glare from the shiny surface on windshield makes it difficult to see while driving. from research, this is a known issue to toyota.
My 2007 toyota camry has developed a shiny,sticky dashboard. not only is it sticky but it because it is so shiny it produces a glare so seeing the road becomes more difficult. this glare is a safety hazard as it makes it difficult to see. i called my local toyota dealer and they informed me that there was nothing they could do about it except replace the dashboard at my expense. they stated a few years ago there was a program to replace the dashboards as the warranty was extended but since my problem happened after the extended warranty expired i was out of luck. why didn't i get notified of the extended warranty or the issue with the dashboard? i have had this car since it was new so they had all of my information in their database and contacting me would have been very easy. i was going to pass this car down to my daughter that just got her license, but i am hesitant to let her drive the car as the glare makes it dangerous to drive. i don't want to put my daughter in an ...
