TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND IT CREATED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE SUB CAUSING THEIR VISIBILITY TO BE DIFFICULT, WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED A COURTESY SAFETY RECALL FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE DASHBOARD FOR THEIR VEHICLE BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER DON MCGILL TOYOTA (11800 KATY FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77079) BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF STATE AND BECAUSE OF COVID CONCERNS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BACK IN STATE AND THEY WANTED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE COURTESY RECALL BUT THE LOCAL DEALER INFORMED THEM IT WAS TOO LATE AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.
THE SUNVISOR ON DRIVERS SIDE JUST FELL OFF AND NOW IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE FROM LIGHTS AND SUN.I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT FELL OFF THE BRACKET.
THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE STARTED "MELTING" AND BECAME STICKY AND GOOEY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS DIRTY AND COULD NOT CLEAN OFF THE STICKINESS.

THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE STARTED "MELTING" AND BECAME STICKY AND GOOEY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS DIRTY AND COULD NOT CLEAN OFF THE STICKINESS. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS ALSO A REFLECTIVE GLARE COMING OFF THE DASHBOARD WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD ALSO EMITTED A STRONG ODOR THAT WAS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BREATHE AND MY EYES TO BURN AND CAUSE " COUGHING. I DID NOT REALIZE IT WAS COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD UNTIL I RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A TOYOTA RECALL REGARDING THE "MELTING DASHBOARDS. I CALLED TOYOTA ON 10-19-2020 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA BY MAIL, PHONE OR EMAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEY STILL SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. I BELIEVE TOYOTA NEEDS TO HONOR THE WARRANTY TO REPLACE MY DASHBOARD AS I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THEY SAID BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SINCE 2017 THAT IS WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE RECALL. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED REGULARLY, BUT NOT AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE MAILED ME A RECALL NOTICE, WHICH THEY DID NOT. IF I HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL I WOULD HAVE /REPLACEMENT TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE
DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND WILL COME OFF AND ADHERE TO ANYTHING THAT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE DASH. WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN, IT PUTS OFF A GLARE THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD, EVEN WHEN WEARING SUNGLASSES.
THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN AND HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. THIS CAUSES GLARE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT ON 9/14/209, BUT THEY SAID THEIR 'WARRANT ENHANCEMENT' EXPIRED ON 8/13/2019. TOYOTA SAID THAT THEY SENT A LETTER IN 2016, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DE…

THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN AND HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. THIS CAUSES GLARE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED TOYOTA ABOUT IT ON 9/14/209, BUT THEY SAID THEIR 'WARRANT ENHANCEMENT' EXPIRED ON 8/13/2019. TOYOTA SAID THAT THEY SENT A LETTER IN 2016, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A TOYOTA DEAL (JACK TAYLOR TOYOTA, ALEXANDRIA VA), AND THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' THEY SAID THAT THEY ONLY HAD TO NOTIFY FOR RECALL SAFETY ISSUES. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD REPLACE IT FOR @2,171.46 THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST A 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.' TOYOTA'S METHODS TO NOTIFY ARE INADEQUATE AND THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING - ME AND MANY OTHERS WILL HAVE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BEYOND TOYOTA'S WARRANT PERIOD. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY DO SUCH A POOR JOB OF CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION. THIS CAUSES A LOT OF ROAD GLARE AT NIGHT AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. TOYOTA IS OBVIOUSLY NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING ON THEIR OWN. I HOPE THE NTSB CAN PLEASE ADVANCE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.
SUN VISOR KEEPS FALLING DOWN
BOTH SUN VISORS WERE DEFECTIVE. WHEN IN 2016 I WENT TO DEALERSHIP IN TINELY PARK IL, I REQUESTED THAT BOTH DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT TOYOTA GENERATED.

BOTH SUN VISORS WERE DEFECTIVE. WHEN IN 2016 I WENT TO DEALERSHIP IN TINELY PARK IL, I REQUESTED THAT BOTH DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT TOYOTA GENERATED. SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THAT UNLESS SUN VISOR FALL DOWN COMPLETELY, TOYOTA WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR. AND DEALERSHIP REPAIRED ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE AND DENIED REPAIR ON PASSENGER SIDE. TODAY, MY PASSENGER SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN AND SERIOUSLY OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY - CREATING VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE ON JULY 18TH 2019. BOTH DENIED THE CLAIM AND DENIED NECESSARY REPAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM ANY AUTO MANUFACTURER - SHOWING THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN MONTANA. NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND NOT FOLLOWING ANY CARS. OUT OF THE BLUE, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION ON THE SUNROOF. UPON PULLING OVER, THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. VERY GLAD THE SLIDER HAD BEEN CLOSED AS I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY CUT, PLUS I HAD A PASSENGER. MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED …

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN MONTANA. NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND NOT FOLLOWING ANY CARS. OUT OF THE BLUE, THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION ON THE SUNROOF. UPON PULLING OVER, THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. VERY GLAD THE SLIDER HAD BEEN CLOSED AS I COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY CUT, PLUS I HAD A PASSENGER. MY HUSBAND HAD PULLED OFF THE ROAD SO I COULD DRIVE, SO NOT AT A HIGH SPEED, WHEN IT OCCURRED. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE ROOF WAS REPLACED BY GLASS DOCTOR.
THE REAR WINDSHIELD IS TINTED. IT HAS DETERIORATED SO MUCH THAT I CAN NOT SEE THROUGH IT WHILE IN DRIVERS SEAT. IT IS EXTREMELY BLURRY AND TRANSLUCENT. AT NIGHT TIME IT IS ALL STREAKED LIGHT REFLECTIONS. THIS CONDITION IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. THE TINT FILM HAS BUBBLED. NOTICED IT HAPPEN LAST YEAR BUT NOW IT HAS BECOME WORST.
