I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE THAT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. IT IS GARAGED AND OUT THE SUN AND IS KEPT CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT. A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED FROM A DEALER THE DASH BEGAN CRACKING BY THE STEERING WHEEL, AROUND THE IGNITION AND ON THE GLOVE BOX TRIM. I TOOK IT TO A INTERIOR TRIM SPECIALIST AND SAID HE HAS SEEN DOZENS OF THIS MODEL WITH THE IDENTICAL PROGRAM. IT BEGINS AS A SMALL CRACK AND THEN SPREADS LIKE A SPIDER WEB. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR THAT IS NOT RESELLABLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY DASH PANEL IS STICKY CRACKING AND IN A STATE OF DETERIORATION . MY CONCERN IS THAT IN AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT PARTS OF THIS CRACKED DASH COULD IMPACT MY EYES LIKE BROKEN GLASS. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND RARELY USED AS IT IS AT A VACATION HOME. IT DOES NOT SIT IN THE SUN OR A PARKING LOT. IT IS DETERIORATING ON ITS OWN. *TR

MY 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA COUPE L4-2.4L (2AZ-FE) HAS THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY MY SERVICE CENTER AND IS IN REGARD TO THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN T-SB-0094-11. THE ENGINE LOSES OIL AT RAPID RATE AND GASOLINE GETS IN THE OIL, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD BE A RECALL. BECAUSE TOYOTA LISTS THIS PROBLEM ONLY AS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO CONTACT THE VEHICLE OWNER TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE REPAIRS NEEDED REQUIRE MAJOR ENGINE/PISTON WORK COSTING $5,000. THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS IF THE VEHICLE HAS OVER 60,000 MILES. BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD $5,000, AND I NEED THE CAR TO GET TO WORK, I AM STUCK WITH A USELESS AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE WHERE THE ENGINE WILL SEIZE UP AND DIE. WHO KNOWS WHAT TRAGEDY THIS WILL CAUSE IF I AM IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME.

DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM (HID) HEADLIGHT TURNS OFF BY ITSELF IN MANUAL AND AUTO MODES. TURNING THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON BRINGS THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD, THEN IT GOES OUT AGAIN. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND AT TIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

THE RIDERS SIDE FRONT LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. WE RECEIVED A FIX IT TICKET; BUT THE LIGHT WORKED THE NEXT DAY AND GOT THE TICKET SIGNED OFF. HOWEVER THE RIDERS SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT CONTINUES TO WORK AND NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. OUT MECHANIC TOLD US THE HIGH INTENSITY LIGHT MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS. *TR
