SINCE 2009 MY DASH BOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AND AS I HAVE SEARCH FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ONE THAT SHOWS TOYOTA IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY ON IT. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THEIR DASH CRACKING AND TOYOTA TAKING NO OWNERSHIP OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN IT. AS TIME PROGRESSES THERE ARE MORE CRACK THAT ARE APPEARING AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL GET WORSE IF MY AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYS. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA'S DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND MORE CRACKS SEEM TO APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND UNDER SHADE DURING THE DAY. IT HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR YEARS AND CONTINUES THE SAME TREND. I'VE SEEN OTHER TOYOTAS WITH CRACKED DASHBOARDS, THERE MUST BE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS. I COULD IGNORE IT FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW IT HAS GONE TOO FAR. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. IT IS A GARAGED AUTOMOBILE AND WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE, THERE IS ALWAYS A FACTORY (TOYOTA) FRONT SUNSCREEN IN USE. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR THAT IS WELL MAINTAINED AND GARAGED. *TR

NEW TOYOTA SOLARA. VEHICLE PURCHASED MAY 30 2006. FRONT BUMPER FELL OFF THE CAR ON JULY 7, 2006. DEALER NOTICED A VERY SMALL DEPRESSION NEAR WHEEL WELL, AND SAYS THAT SOMEONE MAY HAVE BUMPED THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT. REFERRED ME TO PRIVATE BODY SHOP WHERE I WAS CHARGED $586.00. DIRECTOR OF LOCAL AAA INSPECTED CAR. THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE BUMPER SHOULD HAVE DETACHED. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT FELL OFF IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE FWY. AAA REQUESTED THAT I FILE NTSB REPORT, AND INSURANCE ADJUSTER IS EXAMINING THE CAR AND PHOTOGRAPHING THE BUMPER, WHICH WAS HELD TOGETHER BY TWO LITTLE PLASTIC BRACKETS. BODY SHOP SAYS THAT SOME OF THE NEW TOYOTAS HAVE BODY DEFECTS - THINGS THAT COME LOOSE. HE IS WONDERING IF THERE IS A PACKAGING AND SHIPPING PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE BUMPERS TO GET LOOSE. HE ADDED 6 CLIPS AND BRACKETS TO THE BUMPER. THE NEW FRONT BUMPER IS NOW MUCH MORE STABLE THAN THE ORIGINAL BACK BUMPER. *JB
