The toyota melting dashboard is horrendous. my dashboard is so gooey and shiny that on any day with mild sun it is hard to see out the windshield because of the reflection/shine. i am very worried this will lead to an accident. this is not a cosmetic issue, it is a very serious safety issue that toyota needs to address.
Driver side visor failed causing it to hang down and obstruct visibility. i have to move the visor to the side which obstructs my view or i have to hold it up with one hand.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota camry. the contact stated that the dashboard was shiny and sticky, which created a serious sun glare. the dashboard seems to be melting and disintegrating beyond repair and really needs to be replaced. the vehicle was taken to hendrick toyota concord (704-467-8287, located at 7670 bruton smith blvd, concord, nc 28027) and was informed to call the manufacturer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 175,000. *bf*jb
The drivers side sun visor has failed. the internal clips mechanism is broken causing the visor to fall down while driving and blocking my vision to see the road and other drivers. . this is dangerous and could cause an accident. i have 3 young adults in my home who refuse to drive the car because of it. toyota claims to have sent a recall for the part that i did not receive although i have received other recall postcards for this car. they are stating the recall is no longer valid but the problem is known to them and has continued in the following years model cars and yet they will not cover it. i feel this qualifies for a class action suit.
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.
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.
The driver side visor will not remain in correct position. the visor drops while vehicle is in motion startling the driver and temporarily impairing vision.
Sticky dashboard. shine on dash that reflects on to the windshield affecting view.
Vehicle was stationary, i lowered my visor to look in my mirror, once i was done i tried to return my visor to its up right position and it would not stay. nothing looks broken but clearly something is wrong if it wont stay up and now it is in my line of vision for driving. very dangerous, it blocks my line of sight, i cannot even push it up against the window(you know like you do when it is sunny out) for it doesn't stay and falls back down blocking my ability to see out the windshield.
This is life of car new 2008 t0 2017 less than 20000 miles clutch had to be replaced all engine wires replaced brakes rusted out sun visor kept falling down
The dashboard on my 2008 toyota camry is melting, and in the process becoming sticky and shiny. the stickiness is a nuisance, but the shininess is a hazard as it promotes heavy glare on the windshield. it makes me on a sunny day they can lose sight of the road, i almost hit another car due to the visibility. this is on the news, internet. i didn't receive any letter from toyota about enhancement warranty and even when i check with toyota dealer they said it has no recalls. now toyota said my car out of warranty 7 mpnths ago, and they can't do anything. this should be a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 toyota camry. the contact stated that the sun visor malfunctioned and was unable to latch. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the sun visor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 105,000.
While driving, my sun visor will fall down when i hit a bump, and sometimes for no reason. it can be very startling and of course dangerous.
The sun visor on 2007 to 2011 toyota camry are defective. they droop and eventually fall off due to usage. the visor has now fallen off twice. toyota knows there is a problem and extended their warranty for this problem 7 years but it continues to fail over and over. bad design, bad customer service.
Dash is melting. the residue from the dash is causing a sticky reflective surface. the reflective surface is distracting for drivers and can during bright days cause reduced visibility.
