I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE NEW ,LIVING IN NEW JERSEY NEVER A PROBLEM. MOVED TO FLORIDA AND THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING .IT IS EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY CAUSING A GLARE ON FRONT WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING . I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH SOAP AND WATER TO REDUCE THE GLARE AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING .COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY RECALL ON THIS CAR. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 CAMRY IS MELTING. IT CREATES A DANGEROUS, BLINDING GLARE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS OF THE DASHBOARD. IT IS VERY STICKY AND CANNOT BE CLEANED WITH ANYTHING AS PAPER STICKS TO IT WHEN WIPED. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND QUICKLY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE ISSUES AND RECALL THE DASHBOARDS TO HELP SAVE LIVES. *TR

IN 2012, I STARTED TO NOTICE THE BEGINNING OF MY DASHBOARD MELTING ON MY 2009 CAMRY. THIS HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SHINY. I CANNOT EVEN TOUCH MY DASHBOARD WITHOUT LEAVING A FINGERPRINT. THERE IS A PUDDLE OF MELTED DASH CLOSER TO THE WINDSHIELD. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE MELTED DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE WHEN I AM DRIVING WHICH IS DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS. THANK YOU. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON THE VEHICLE STARTED MELTING AND PEELING. IF TOUCHED THE PLASTIC ON THE DASHBOARD WILL COME OFF. *JS

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2008. I LIVED IN GA FROM 2008-2012 AND MOVED TO TX IN 2012. I DID NOT EXPERIENCE DASH ISSUES WHILE LIVING IN GA. I FIRST NOTICED MY DASHBOARD WAS "STICKY" WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE A PARKING VOUCHER FROM THE DASH AREA. THE VOUCHER WAS STUCK TO THE DASH AND OTHER AREAS OF THE DASH WERE STICKY TO THE TOUCH. I TRIED REMOVING PIECES OF THE VOUCHER AND NOTICED THE "STICKINESS" OF THE DASHBOARD WAS COMING OFF ONTO MY HANDS. THE STICKINESS HAS WORSENED TO THE POINT THAT WHENEVER THE DASH IS TOUCHED THE STICKY RESIDUE IS TRANSFERRED ONTO HANDS AND FINGERPRINTS ARE LEFT BEHIND. THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING AND TOUCHING THE SURFACE CREATES "GOUGES" IN THE DASH. THE AREA WHERE THE VOUCHER WAS PLACED AND REMOVED IS WORN AND HAS LOST ITS TEXTURE. THE INCREASED STICKINESS MAKES THE DASH SHINY AND A GLARE IS PRESENT WHEN DRIVING. THE STICKY/MELTING DASH IS A RESULT OF DASH MATERIAL DEFECTS WHICH SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TOYOTA FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

DASHBOARD IS GETTING STICKY AND APPEARS TO BE MELTING. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSING GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND LEFT A SHINY AND STICKY SUBSTANCE ON THE SURFACE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE SUN SHINED ON THE DASHBOARD, IT CREATED A GLARE THAT BLOCKED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. UPDATED 3/13/15*CN UPDATED 9/8/2017*CN

I LIVE IN LOUISIANA AND IT'S VERY HUMID AND HOT. LAST YEAR MY DASHBOARD ATTRACTED MUCH DUST AND DIRT. WHEN I AMONG OTHERS TRIED CLEANING IT, NOTHING WOULD ACTUALLY REMOVE OR CLEAN THE SURFACE. IT IS VERY STICKY AND IT LOOKS UNSIGHTLY AND IT'S VERY EMBARRASSING. EACH TIME I HAD MY CAR DETAILED, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT FROM THE DETAILER AS TO WHY MY DASH WAS NEVER CLEAN AND THE PRODUCTS THEY USED DIDN'T CAUSE THE SURFACE TEXTURE. UP UNTIL I BEGAN HEARING COMPLAINTS FROM NISSAN OWNERS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, I REALIZED I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT WITH MY TOYOTA CAMRY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I LOVE MY CAMRY AND DON'T WANT TO PART WITH IT. *TR

TOYOTA CAMRY 2009, BOUGHT CAR 2 YEARS AGO. EVERY SUMMER DASH HEATS UP START MELTING AND CAUSE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD NEEDS TO BE FIXED, CAUSE OBSTRUCTIVE VISION AND EXCESSIVE HEAT ALMOST UNBEARABLE. IN SUMMER VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH NO ACCIDENTS AS OF YET BUT CONCERNED WITH THE OVER HEATING AND CATING FIRE. BF UPDATED 8/17/2015*JS

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND IS NOW CRACKING AND WARPING IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. IMPEDES VISIBILITY AND I WORRY IT COULD AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

STICKY DASHBOARD PROVIDES GLARE. THIS CAUSES DISTRACTION AND GLARE. BECAUSE OF STICKINESS, I CAN'T MOUNT MY GPS AND THAT FORCES ME TO KEEP LOOKING DOWN AND NOT PAY ATTENTION TO ROAD. I HAD MANY CLOSE CALLS AND TOYOTA WOULD NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. I NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN MY 2004 CAMRY. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. *TR

SENT IN COMPLAINT 11/15/2014 ON DETERIORATING DASHBOARD ON MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP FLORIDA # ONE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK CARE OF PROBLEM REPLACED DASHBOARD AT NO COST TO ME. THANK YOU TOYOTA *TR

THE DASHBOARD GETS REAL SOFT AND STICKY WHEN THE SUN HITS IT. IT MAKES A GLARE AND CAUSES DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD ALSO AFFECT AIRBAG OPERATION. *TR

THE DASH IS VERY SOFT AND CRACKING. IT IS VERY SHINING AND GIVES OFF A GLARE WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. NO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN USED ON IT. THE DEALER IN BRADENTON FL SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT AND I COULD REPLACE IT FOR ABOUT 2200.00 DOLLARS AS IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHILE SEARCHING THE WEB FOR A SOLUTION I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBANDS 2006 TACOMA DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, IN ADDITION, THE NEWER MODELS ALL REDESIGNED DASHES. TOYOTA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE THE DASH. IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE RESALE VALUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY TOYOTA CAMRY 2009 HAS BECOME VERY STICKY. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT BUT CANNOT REMOVE WHATEVER IS MAKING IT STICKY. THIS BECAME NOTICEABLE ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. WHILE SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR A PRODUCT TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARD, I HAVE ONLY FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS CONCERNING DASHBOARD STICKY AND MELTING PROBLEMS FROM OTHER TOYOTA CAMRY OWNERS. I RESIDE IN FLORIDA, WHICH IS ONE OF THE STATES WITH THE MAJORITY OF COMPLAINTS ARE COMING FROM. SOME OWNERS REPORT THAT THE DASHBOARD IS CAUSING EXTREME GLARE COMING FROM THEIR STICKY DASHBOARD MAKING VISIBILITY AN ISSUE. DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS I USE A WINDSHIELD COVER IN MY CAR AND HAVE HAD ALL OF THE WINDOWS TINTED TO CUT DOWN ON THE HEAT IN THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND DISCOLORED. THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND PRODUCED A GLARE THAT IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN OILY AND STICKY WHEN IT IS EXPOSED TO THE SUN. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHERE IT IS ALWAYS HOT. WHEN I AM DRIVING IN THE DAYTIME, THERE IS A GLARE THAT THE DASHBOARD GIVE TO THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS SO STICKY AND GLOSSY THAT ONE TIME I PUT A SUN VISOR IN THE WINDSHIELD TO PROTECT THE DASHBOARD AND THE SUNVISOR STUCK TO THE DASHBOARD DUE TO THE STICKINESS. THE GLARE TO THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE SHINY, OILY DASHBOARD IS A HAZARD AND SHOULD BE FIXED ASAP BEFORE AN VEHICLE ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY TO TOUCH. WHEN DRIVING IN THE SUN, THE WINDSHIELD IS HARD TO SEE FROM THE GLARING OF THE MELTING DASH BOARD AND LIMITED VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. *TR

THE VINYL DASHBOARD SURFACE IS STICKY AND, IN AREAS CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD, THE SURFACE HAS MELTED TO A SHINY, GLARY LOOK. I CANNOT WIPE IT WITH A CLOTH BECAUSE IT STICKS TO THE SURFACE. PRESSING LIGHTLY THE SURFACE WITH MY FINGERNAIL LEAVES A DEEP PERMANENT MARK AS THE SURFACE HAS NO ELASTICITY. EVEN LIGHT IMPACT, SUCH AS FROM NORMAL USE OF A SUN REFLECTIVE WINDSHIELD SHADE, LEAVES MARKS ON THE SURFACE. THE EDGES OF THE DASHBOARD ARE CHIPPING EASILY. *TR
