The car was parked outside on the drive way and at 4am on 12/4/19 when i was about to go to work i realized the dashboard had exploded. no signs of a break in because the car was locked. i am not sure what happened but i have never had any issues since i got this car and out of a sudden the dashboard just explodes. what if this happened when i was driving? i am concern about all other owners of same year and model who are at risk of such explosion.
Message: 'check vsc system' 2008 toyota camry hybrid -upon driving the car on any road for about 20-25 minutes, the message comes up. the car becomes slow and can stop at any minute. that's very dangerous.
The dashboard in my car, a 2008 toyota camry, has started to melt. it is sticky and discolored with a slight sheen. it may potentially melt to the point where it starts to reflect in the window.
Dashboard is becoming extremely sticky and shiny. nothing wipes it off, and its worse in warmer weather. its shininess is becoming distracting while driving. i'm worried about this spreading to other parts connected to the dashboard, like ac and airbags. called toyota and they told me the warranty was up and it was the responsibility of the first owner of the vehicle to get it fixed. as the second owner (bought it used), i was never given any notice of complete coverage or repairs. no emails or letters.
The dashboard is cracking and meaty and i've been calling every toyota because i know this is a recall and they been telling me that they can't help me with this problem they said that i have to pay for it 1,500$ i will get on contact with the tv news and let them know what's going on with toyota i really love toyota but at this point i'm really upset with this.
Excessive oil burning, i do have high mileage; odometer at oil change at hendrix toyota on february 11, 2019 was 195,562. today february 28, 2019 my odometer is at 196,162. i now have to add more oil to my car today, when only 17 days ago 5 quarts was added. i a afraid that i may not catch it in time to add oil, and the engine would lock up. the oil is really burning too fast.
The problem started in my vehicle last summer, but i didn't know about ther extended warranty. the date i entered was the date i contacted toyota as i found information about this problem on the internet. i bought my vehicle used and went to the local toyota dealer asking if there were any problems i should know about, as i needed an extra key made and i inquired why i was there. i was told no problems, no recalls. i noticed the dashboard getting sticky the summer of 2017, but thought it was caused by the cleaner i used on the dashboard. this summer was even hotter and the finish on the dashboard began peeling, cracking, becoming shiney, and very very sticky to touch. so i did a google search. i typed in "how to clean a sticky dashboard" and guess what popped up, toyota camry's problems with a defective dashboard. they didn't recall it even though it covered several years, instead they extended the warranty. i bought my car used. i check with a local dealer, and i was told no issues. i called toyota today, and, i'm sol as ...
My dashboard is melting from the sun. this is harmful to my help and this is the first car that i have ever owned that did this.
Within the last month i and other such as mechanic, body shop operators have noticed sticky and gooey dashboard, melting and very soft, especially in the hot and humid weather. have also noticed a glare on dashboard while driving. you can also put your fingernail thorough parts of the dashboard, very sticky and soft. contacted toyota at 800.331.4331 and was told that the warranty enhancement expired march 2018 and that they could not do anything since the warranty was expired . i have not experienced issues with the dashboard till this last month and was not aware of any issues concerning this part of the car. nor did i receive anything which stated there was anything going on with the dashboard for this make or model.
Due to the toyota sticky dash problem caused by material degradation, i am experiencing a safety situation when sunlight produces a glare off the shiny dash surface. the glare is at its worst when driving into the sun. upon calling toyota, they stated that their voluntary warranty extension period has ended and there is nothing they can do for me.
Abs lights comes on, brakes lights come on, check engine light, the milage hand stop working and the air wont get cold when this happens.
Dashboards can become cracked and/or sticky/melted over time. toyota issued a warranty enhancement notification on this issue which expired january 2, 2018. my 2008 camry did not experience this problem until may 2018. this is a huge safety hazard as the sticky/melted dash acts as a mirror reflecting any light into the drivers face. it is especially hazardous in night driving when street lights and headlights glare into the drivers face reducing visibility considerably. if there are both street lights and oncoming headlights there is no visibility. it acts like a mirror on the dashboard. this should be a recall, not just a warranty enhancement.
The dashboard of the car is melting and has become very shiny causing a glare on the windshield that partially obscures the view of the road, particularly when there is bright sunshine. toyota already acknowledges the safety issue and extended the warranty on the dashboard to 10 years. my car (purchased new) did not exhibit the melting issue until after we moved it from northern states, md and mi to fl starting in jan 2016. the failure only apparent after the extended warranty or 10 years expired in oct 2017. the reflection of the dashboard upper surface on window is highly distracting and significantly obscures vision of the road.
My dashboard became sticky last year. i have done what i can to properly clean it but it kept getting worse. now, i can't even touch it without pieces of the dashboard coming apart. items like lint and dust stick to it. in addition, the dashboard becomes incredibly shiny at night with a terrible glare that makes it difficult to drive. toyota says they will not repair it because a voluntary recall expired in 2017. i never received that notice and was not contacted.
Takata recall: i was involved in a collision on january 27, 2018 with a jeep ranger in my 2008 toyota camry. i was getting on the freeway exit road, the posted speed was 65mph and had no time to avoid the accident. after making contact with the jeep my car then went into a fence. the air bags in my camry never deployed. and i have suffered from injuries and significant medial bills as a result of the air bags failure to deploy.
