2009 Toyota Camry Other Problems

Your dashboard is sticky and reflects light in a way that caused a distraction leading to an accident. The owner also reports that safety recall notices were mailed to an incorrect address (an assisted living facility where mail wasn't received), and the vehicle has already had significant damage requiring engine replacement.

Your dashboard has become glossy and reflective due to material degradation, creating intense glare on your windshield when driving in sunlight. This glare significantly reduces your visibility of the road, especially during sunrise and sunset, creating a genuine safety hazard. The dashboard's matte finish has worn away over time, turning it into a mirror-like surface. Fixing this typically involves replacing the dashboard or applying a non-reflective dashboard cover to restore safe visibility.

Your dashboard has developed a sticky residue that creates glare and makes it difficult to see while driving. This glare has nearly caused accidents. Toyota has refused to replace the dashboard under recall warranty coverage, even though you believe it's a safety hazard. Fixing this would involve replacing the entire dashboard assembly.

Your dashboard has become very sticky and creates excessive glare that makes it difficult to see and drive safely. You've been in a crash related to this visibility issue, and while there was a safety recall issued during the previous owner's time, the warranty period has expired. Addressing this will likely involve dashboard replacement or resurfacing to restore visibility and eliminate the sticky coating.

Your dashboard has melted and become sticky to the touch, creating a glare across the windshield. The melted material emits a chemical smell inside the car. Fixing this will likely require replacing the dashboard panel.

Your dashboard has become sticky because the adhesive underneath is seeping through the surface. This creates a shiny, reflective coating that causes glare when sunlight hits it, making it difficult to see while driving. The fix would likely involve replacing the dashboard pad or applying a protective coating to reduce the glare.

My vehicle has been a one owner vehicle, my mother and now me as she passed on 2 April 2024. My vehicle has been stored in a garage except when it is being driven. My vehicle has been taken care of extremely well and maintenance done as required. The oil has been changed every 3,000 miles since it has been owned. Approximately in June 2024 I began to notice my dashboard was sticky, cracking and actually MELTING! It gets worse as long as it is out of the garage,in the heat/sun and humidity for any length of time. The longer times goes that the car is in these conditions it gets shiny that the reflection makes a glare which makes seeing difficult! I went to the dealership where the vehicle was purchased brand new, Milton Ruben, Augusta GA 30907. Prior to going to the dealership, I got online to do a search to see why this could be happening and discovered many complaints like mine all over the US had been submitted in previous years.I began reading the complaints and discovered the problem was due to Toyota using defective material to make their dashboards in Toyota/Lexus vehicles made in 2007-2011.I discovered there had been a recall or campaign for these vehicles, it had been extended once or twice until 2019.MY PROBLEM IS THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OR DID MY MOTHER!We would have immediately taken our vehicles into the dealership.I CANNOT HELP THAT THE RECALL OR CAMPAIGN FOR THIS ISSUE HAD EXPIRED PRIOR TO MY CAR SHOWING A PROBLEM!While reading the complaints I noticed there was a class action lawsuit filed,but I don't know the outcome.I was told by the dealership that they were aware of the problem but there wasn't anything they could do except replace the dashboard at my expense.TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!They told me that I would need to call the corporate office to see what they could do.I did, submit a claim, file #240802000525 2 Aug 2024.Toyota didn't reply but was told by the case manager that my case was closed without action. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!

I bought my 2009 Camry on [XXX] new in Kentucky and have had this vehicle up to the current date of 08-02-2024. In fact, I recently acquired my deceased (2 April 2024) mother's 2009 Camry and will be submitting a claim as well. My vehicle has only been owned by myself and taken extremely good care of and stored in a garage when not being driven. Approximately in June/July 2024 I began noticing that my dashboard was becoming sticky, as though it was actually melting!!!! It would get worse as long as it was out of the garage and was in the sun, heat and humidity. The longer time goes that the car is in these conditions it gets so shiny that the reflection makes seeing difficult!!! I went to the dealership here in Augusta, GA where my mother's vehicle was purchased since I am here resolving her estate and the problem started. Prior to doing this, I got online to do a search to see why this could be happening and discovered many complaints like mine all over the US and there was actually a Class Action lawsuit submitted regarding Toyota not fixing the problem. Also, I discovered there had been a recall or campaign for the 2007-2011 Camry. It had also been extended until 2019. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION NOR HAD MY MOTHER OR I WOULD HAVE ALREADY LOOKED INTO THE MATTER EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE THE PROBLEM UNTIL NOW!!!!! I was told by the dealer to call corporate. I did and was told to submit a claim, which I did, file#[XXX] on 31 July 2024 and received a response on 1 August 2024 that there wasn't anything Toyota could do because the campaign had expired and it would be at my own expense to get repaired. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! I CAN'T HELP THAT MY PROBLEM DIDN'T START UNTIL THE CAMPAIGN EXPIRED OR I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF AN ISSUE!!!! IT IS DEFECTIVE MATERIAL AND UNSAFE ISSUES DUE TO THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!

I was driving the vehicle and hit a bump, and the driver side sunvisor dropped down into the sunshield position. I almost got in an accident because I couldn’t see and then I couldn’t get The sunvisor to stay up. This is the fourth sunvisor we have bought from Toyota. All of the three other sunvisors have done the exact same thing and I feel this is dangerous. The people at Toyota confided in me that this is a big problem with many Toyota’s. I am concerned that had my wife been driving she would have gotten in an accident because the sunvisor obstructed the view of the driver. Toyota to charge us $270 for both driver and passenger side sunvisors. Our mechanic put them in for free.

I am not complaining about my vehicle, but about the many vehicles on the road today with headlights that are not focused enough, or just TOO BRIGHT. Especially vehicles like pickup trucks that have headlights mounted at about the same height as my windshield and rear window. These vehicles headlights are so bright that they hit all my mirrors and blind me at night from behind. In addition many newer vehicles with "modern style" extra bright and auto dimming headlights as oncoming traffic also blind me to the point where I cannot safely see the road ahead. I appreciate that seeing ahead is important, but with oncoming traffic it is also important that I can see ahead safely as well. Thank You.

I own a 2009 Toyota Camry with VIN [XXX]. The dashboard is hazardous i.e. sticky and shiny which makes it hard for me to see through the windshield going toward sunset or the sun is over the dashboard. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Dashboard is sticky when cold and hot, we have done our best to keep it clean but i have had enough it was hot and my kid leaned on it and it was super hot and the material literally got stuck to her arm and the back of her shirt. I would like this to get taken care off, is not right that they were created this way and people suffer the consequences

My Black 2009 Camry SE has a black sticky/melting dash which Toyota only covered replacement of for a 10 yr period. I didn’t drive it much for the first several years, the odometer now has only 90,000 miles. The sticky dash became an increasingly noticeable safety hazard a couple of years ago. When driving with the sun hitting the sticky, melting, shiny black dash, the glare is blinding to where I cannot see the road. The sun causes the dash to be reflected off the windshield. Yes, the safety of anyone in the car is at risk when the sun is coming through the windshield. It is available for inspection any time. The Rick Hendrick Toyota dealer I used for my cracked dash 4 Runner informed me that if I had been having the Camry regularly serviced at a Toyota dealer then Toyota would have likely covered the dash replacement after the recall period ended. I brought the Camry into Stone Mountain Toyota to replace the recalled brake lamp assembly in Nov 2021. They failed to replace it adequately and so a mile from the dealership the Camry would not move after I stopped at a stoplight. So, no, I have not had either of these Toyota dealers, or any others confirm the issue, since they weren’t going to replace it under warranty anyway. Neither dealer asked to confirm the issue. My wife has confirmed the sticky dash safety glare issue. No warning messages light up when the dash is a safety hazard. Toyota Corp refused to warranty/recall replacement in 2020/2021 even though I explained this safety issue. Today, Dec 7, 2022 I called Toyota Corp again and they again refused to cover replacement of the dash under warranty/recall and referred me to NHTSA.

Dashboard melting causing sticky and glare on windshield on my 2009 Toyota camary causes blind spots when driving afraid of having accident

Sticky, shiny dash on Camry due to manufactuing defect.

Sticky, shiny, melting dash on camry from manufacturing defect. No recall just a now expired extended warranty. Glare on windshield leaves driving car very dangerous

The vehicle dashboard is tacky and has been for some time. The reflection from the sun emitting off the dashboard impairs visibility while driving. Even wearing sunglasses does not fully deflect the sun glare from the dashboard making it difficult to see cars in front of me or traffic signals. I believe this issue because the dashboard is so hot, it affected my CD player which is no longer working, a cd is stuck in the player and the button to eject does not respond. Yes my vehicle can be inspected upon request. A few years ago, I inquired with a licensed mechanic what the issue was and he stated there was nothing I could do to remedy the situation. I contacted Toyota when I first realized the issue, they stated that there was a recall on the dashboard and the time had past to get it replaced. I informed them that I did not receive a recall notification and they could not tell me why. I am very frustrated that Toyota will not take responsibility for replacing my dashboard.

The Car dashboard has become sticky and shines during day light and reflects in front glass and visibility is disturbed.

The dashboard has become sticky and shiny. When driving while sunny the dashboard reflects into the windshield making it hard to see. This happened for the first time in 2017, but it is an ongoing problem.

I am the original owner of a 2009 Toyota Camry. The dashboard which started melting in 2020 has caused a shiny film on the dashboard resulting in a shiny glare on my windshield when the sunlight hits the dashboard. This glare completely covers a portion of the windshield which prevents me from viewing the roadway ahead of me. Toyota has entered settlements ( extending its' warranty to Mid 2017 )several lawsuits, but does live up to its' agreement. Toyota has breached settlement agreement by not providing the Toyota Dealers with dashboard replacements in timely manner. Since my dashboard did not start deteriorating until 2020 I have been informed by Toyota that since the warranty time period has expired, that they will not pay for the cost to replace the dashboard. deterioration was a latent defect. Time for NHTSA to get involved: Investigate and then issue a National recall of the dashboards. Email: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Toyota has made empty promises to those who filed prior to Mid 2017 and refuses to even make promises to those who file after that date. Whittier Toyota will be inspecting the vehicle Monday July 19 2021 and will issue me a report of the deteriorating dashboard and cost to replace it. Google: Toyota Dashboard melting for obtain postings of various lawsuits in this matter.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THE DASH WAS DAMAGED, IT JUST LOOKED SHINY BUT UPON MY CLEANING IT THE FIRST TIME MY CLEANING CLOTH STUCK TO IT THIS IS WHEN I REALIZED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE CAR LOT WASN'T RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE IT WAS AN AS-IS SALE. THIS HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I CAN BARELY SEE TO DRIVE WHEN THE SUN HITS THE DASH IT CAUSES A TERRIBLE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE TO TRY AND LOOK OVER IT AND TO THE SIDE OF IT AND IT'S NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY. YESTERDAY WAS REALLY A CLOSE CALL AND THAT IS THE REASON THAT I'M TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM NOW, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY AN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE AND NOT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD PUT SOMETHING ON IT'S I HAD THOUGHT. I'M SENDING A PICTURE ALONG WITH THIS. THE ENTIRE DASH IS LIKE THIS BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE IS THE WORST.

VEHICLE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AMD CRACKING. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MELTING BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD IS NOW EXTREMELY SHINY AMD THE REFLECTION MAKES VISIBILITY LIMITED, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SUN IS DIRECTLY HITTING IT. I ALSO FEAR THAT THE CRACKS HAVE POSSIBLY DAMAGED THE AIRBAG ITSELF, MEANING IF IT WERE TO EVER DEPLOY WILL IT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. THIS STARTED YEARS AGO, AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND WHERE A RECALL WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER TOYOTA NEVER NOTIFIED ME, THEY MAIL THE CORRESPONDING INFORMATION TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THIS WAS VERIFIED WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA DIRECTLY. THEY WOULDN'T TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE MISTAKE OR THE SAFETY ISSUE AND ADVISED ME THEY WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE THE RECALL IS EXPIRED. I'M CONFUSED HOW A SAFETY RECALL CAN EXPIRE WHEN REAL DRIVERS, LIKE MYSELF, ARE STILL HAVING THESE ISSUES BECAUSE MANY OF THESE CARS ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. MY CAR IS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY SE WITH ONLY 120K MILES. STILL ALOT OF LIFE LEFT, SO THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AMD FIX THESE SAFETY ISSUES FOR CONSUMERS.

MY DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY STICKY AND IS CAUSING A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THERFORE MAKING IT DANGEROUSLY TO DRIVE. THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED INTO ASAP! I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE CLEANERS AND NOTHING WORKS! #RECALL TOYOTA!I

THE DASHBOARD IN OUR 2009 CAMRY HAS GOTTEN EXTREMELY STICKY. I WAS CLEANING THE CAR YESTERDAY SINCE WE ARE SHORTLY PASSING THE CAR ONTO OUR SON. WHEN I WENT TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARD, I NOTICED THE STICKINESS, WORSE IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS. WE DID RECEIVE THE 2015 LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE DASHBOARD ISSUE BUT AS STATED IN THE LETTER IN BOLD, RED PRINT 'IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE CONDITION DESCRIBED, THERE IS NO ACTION NECESSARY AT THIS TIME.' WE HAD NO DASHBOARD PROBLEM AT THE TIME SO THERE WAS NO REASON TO CONTACT TOYOTA. NOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM! THE GLARE AND ODOR FROM THIS ISSUE IS NOW A SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE. ANOTHER CONCERN IS HOW THIS DASHBOARD ISSUE AFFECTS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND THE AIRBAG UNDERNEATH. TOYOTA SHOULD ADDRESS AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT CARE IF A VEHICLE IS 5 DAYS OLD, 5 YEARS OLD, OR 50 YEARS OLD, A STICKY, MELTING DASHBOARD SHOULD NEVER BE A PROBLEM. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM!

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY. IT MAKES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD AND IS HARD TO SEE AT TIMES AND I FEEL LIKE TOYOTA SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE FOR FREE.

THE DASH IS MELTING AND CAUSES A GLARE NIGHT AND DAY. IT'S LIKE IT IS HIGH GLOSS. I WAS NEVER SENT ANYTHING IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TWO CAMRYS AND BOTH ARE THE SAME. THIS STARTED IN 2016, I THOUGHT THE PEOPLE AT AUTO BELL SCREWED MY CAR UP FOR A COUPLE YEARS UNTIL I STOPPED BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP.

I CHECK THE OIL WEEKLY IN THE VEHICLE DESPITE IT BEING DRIVEN SPORADICALLY. THE OIL BURNS OFF QUICKLY AND I HAVE TO REPLACE FREQUENTLY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME.

DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY. THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD AT TIMES IS ALMOST A DISTRACTION. WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL SOME TIME AGO, BUT WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OR NOTIFIED FROM TOYOTA

DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND MELTED INTO A GLOB WHICH HINDERS MY ABILITY TO SEE AND I CALLED IN 2017 TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND WAS TOLD I WAS A MONTH TOO LATE WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. IT'S PROGRESSED EVEN MORE IN THE PAST THREE YEARS TO THE POINT I HAD TO PUT SOMETHING ON IT TO MAKE THE GLARE GO AWAY. IT LOOKS SO TACKY AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD FIX IT.

DASHBOARD IS STCIKY AND SHINES THR REFLEXION OF THE SUN WHILE DRIVING, AT THE POINT WHERE IT BECOMES HARD TO SEE

STICKY DASHBOARD

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR IS MELTING AND IS VERY SHINY AND STICKY. WHEN THE SUN OR HEADLIGHTS HIT THE WINDSHIELD IT IS BLINDING AND I CAN'T SEE. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN IT WITH HOT SOAPY WATER, AS I WAS INSTRUCTED, BUT IT WILL NOT COME OFF.

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VIN [XXX] BUT YET I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RECALL INFORMATION IN MY MAIL. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS? THANKS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DASH BOARD IS VERY STICKY AND HAS CRACKED AND LOOKS TERRIBLE. OBIVIOUSLY NOT A QUALITY PRODUCT.

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY DAUGHTER. THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SEEMS TO STAY THAT WAY. I HAVE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE AS WELL. I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS BUT THE DATE TO REPAIR HAS EXPIRED? IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DESCARGA LA BATERIA

I OWN A 2009 CAMRY LE. THE MATERIAL THAT COVERS THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND PEELING OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2018. WHEN THE SUN SHINES THE LIGHT REFLECTS AND IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. TOYOTA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED THEM TODAY (1/27/20) BUT THEY SAY IT IS NOW EXPIRED. I AM WONDERING HOW THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED FOR MY VEHICLE SINCE I NEVER GOT THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK BECAUSE I MOVED. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS IN ADVANCE, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STICKY DASHBOARD, MELTING DASHBOARD THAT HAS MADE ALSO MOVED SOME STICKINESS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD REDUCING VISIBILITY.

I HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS CAMRY. BACK IN 2015 I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND BROUGHT UP TO THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY. AT THE TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT AND REPLACING IT WOULD COST ME A LOT OF MONEY. NOW 4 YEARS LATER I FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT THAT COVERED THE DASHBOARD. MY DASHBOARD IS NOW SO STICKY THAT IT IS GLISTENING. I TRIED TO USE A SUN VISOR HOPING IT WOULD SLOW THE RATE OF MELTING BUT THEN MY SUN VISOR WOULD STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. I PLACE A HAT ON THE DASHBOARD ONCE FOR 10 MINUTES AND WHEN I REMOVED IT THERE WAS BLACK RESIDUE. FINALLY, I HAVE A CHILD NOW AND WHEN HE GETS INTO THE CAR HE HAS PUT HIS HANDS ON THE DASHBOARD AND GOTTEN THE BLACK DEBRIS AND CHEMICALS ON HIS HANDS AND I AM NOW CONCERNED FOR HIS HEALTH AND SAFETY. THERE WAS ALSO A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. MY SPOUSE CHANGES MY OIL FOR ME AND OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS COMMENTED THAT I WAS SURPRISINGLY VERY LOW ON OIL. I AM WONDERING WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM TOYOTA FOR EITHER OF THESE ISSUES EVEN THOUGH THEY CLAIM NOTICES WERE SENT OUT. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH TOYOTA #1911082336. THEY TELL ME THAT I AM OUT OF THE WINDOW FOR REPAIR AND IT WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE OUT OF POCKET WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING CONSIDERING I NOTIFIED THEM OF THE DASHBOARD ISSUE BEFORE.

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS BURNING OIL. TOYOTA DID NOT DO A RECALL OR CONTACT THE OWNER THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I AM OVER MY "YEARS' BUT WITHIN THE MILEAGE. THEY WILL NOT PLACE/REBUILD THE MOTOR.

MY DASH IS MELTING. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL. IT'S CHIPPING OFF AND I WAS TOLD THE RECALL EXPIRED. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET IT FIXED IF NEVER A RECALL. ALSO MY ENGINE HAS BEEN LEAKING OIL AND I'VE HAD IT SERVICED PROPERLY AND IN A TIMELY FASHION THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE HAD IT. IT'S THE SEALS THAT KEEP LEAKING. IVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFORMATION ON MY TOYOTA. EVER. SO I'M NOT VERY SATISFIED WITH THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS. IM ATTACHING PICTURES OF MY DASH.

1. MY PAINT IS PEELING 2. MY DASH IS MELTING, VERY VERY STICKY

SUN VISORS WILL NOT STAY UP CAUSING HAZARDOUS VIEW OBSTRUCTION.

THE DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH.

RECENTLY 'AUGUST 2019' I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY ON A 'CLOUDY DAY' FOR MY SON TO DRIVE TO N.C. FOR COLLEGE. HE CAME HOME FOR AN OVERNIGHT VISIT AND I NOTICED HIS DASH WAS VERY SHINY AND HAD A HORRIBLE GLARE. THE GLARE WAS SO BAD I WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THIS IMPAIRING HIS ABILITY TO SEE. I NOTICED ON TOYOTA'S WEBSITE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DASH BUT READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS THAT TOYOTA WAS NOT REPLACING THEM IN A TIMELY FASHION AND FOR ONLY SO MANY YEARS. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTO THIS IS FOR SURE A VISIBILITY HAZARD AND MY SON OR OTHERS COULD BE KILLED DUE TO INABILITY TO SEE.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CREATING A GLARE MAKING DRIVING UNSAFE. IT IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF THIS GLARE.

FRONT OF DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY, SPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE. IF I PLACE MY FINGER ON DASHBOARD SOME OF THE RUBBER COMES OFF OR EVEN LEAVES FINGER PRINTS.

ON MY VEHICLE, MY DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A STICKY RESIDUR ON THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. IT APPEARS THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS BEGAN TO MELT. IVE ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN, ETC WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. THIS STICKY RESIDUE HAS A SUBSTANTIAL GLARE EMITTING OFF IT THAT SOMETIMES INPAIRS MY VISIBILITY AND OFTEN TIMES CREATES A REFLECTION ON WINDSHIELD HINDERING VISION WHEN OOERATING VEHICLE. SECOND NOTE IS EVERY SENSE THIS HAS BEGAN AND GOTTEN WORSE MY CAR INTERIOR NOW HAS A DISTINCT SMELL. UNSURE WHAT THE SMELL IS BUT IT SMELLS LIKE AN ODOR OF A HOT PLASTIC MATERIAL. MY INTERIOR HAS BEEN DETAILED RRC AND THE SMELL WHEN NOT GO AWAY. I CONTACTED TOYOTA BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS LAWSUITS AND RECALLS IN THE PAST. I WAS TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX BECAUSE THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. IF ITS CREATES UNSAFE DRIIVING CONDITIONS, HOW CAN THEY PUT AN EXPIRATION ON THE FIX. THE CONDITION OF DASHBOARD I BELIEVE WAS CREATED BY A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD NOT MADE TO WITHSTAND HUMIDITY OR HEAT. TOYOTA KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEMS, BUT REFUSES TO HELP LOYAL TOYOTA OWNERS, LIKE MYSELF. I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH HOW THEY HANDLED THIS. IN THE PICTURE ATTACHED. THE SUN IS OVERHEAD, SO THE REFLECTION NOT BAD BUT STILL VISIBLE. LOOK AT BOTTOM OF WINDSHIELD AND YOU WILL SEE THE REFLECTION.

STICKNESS OF DASHBOARD,THE SHINY/REFLECTIVE SURFACE

THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXCEEDINGLY STICKY. IT IS VERY DISTRESSING TO SAY THE LEAST. A FLY GOT STUCK ON IT THE OTHER DAY AND USING A KLEENEX TO REMOVE IT WAS A MAJOR MISTAKE. HOWEVER, THE MOST UPSETTING CONSEQUENCE IS THE SAFETY HAZARD CREATED BY SHINY/REFLECTION ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS MOST CONCERNING. I HAVE INQUIRED AT TOYOTA WHAT CAN BE DONE AND THEIR ONLY RECOMMENDATION WAS TO USE A CLEANSER MADE FOR DASHBOARDS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT DID NOT WORK.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSES A CONSTANT GLARE THAT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TOLD TOYOTA ABOUT THIS THEY SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY TOYOTA REGARDING THIS IS A POSSIBILITY OF HAPPENING. SUNSHADES DID NOT PREVENT THE MELTING AS IT GETS WORSE YEARLY AND I USE SHADES DAILY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING BECAUSE THIS PUTS MY LIFE AS WELL AS OTHERS IN DANGER DUE TO THE MAJOR GLARE.

SUN VISOR FLOPPING LOOSE. WILL NOT STAY UP & IS BLOCKING MY DRIVING VISION.THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT & TOYOTA SAID IT IS NOT BROKEN HOWEVER, IT WAS BROKEN. NOW THEY SAID RECALL EXPIRED IN 2015. & WANT $145 TO FIX IT. THE SUNVISOR IS BLINDING MY EYE SITE WHEN I DRIVE.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM.

MELTING STICKY DASHBOARD CAUSING GLARE OBSTRUCTING VISION

MY TOYOTA CAMRY DASHBOARD IS MELTING, AND BECOMING STICKY AND GOOEY.THERE'S A GLARE THAT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE SHINY DASHBOARD, WHICH CREATES VISIBILITY CHALLENGES WHILE DRIVING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL BACK IN 2014.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY AND HAS A GLARE THE COMES OFF OF IT.

STICKY, MELTING DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE WHEN DRIVING AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING!

THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT DROPS AND HANGS DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING.

DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT, CRACK, CHIP AND BECOME GOOEY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND ON THE PHONE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE 2 TIMES, AND THEY BOTH KEEP REDIRECTING ME TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS SINCE THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND IS REFUSING TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL THAT HAS SINCE EXPIRED, HOWEVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS CAUSES GREAT CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING WITH EASE OR HONESTY. A MELTING DASHBOARD IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES.

SUN VISOR IS BROKEN -TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX IT.THEY SAID IT WAS EXPIRED IN 2015 & THEY WANT $150 TO FIX IT. IS THAT TRUE THE RECALL EXPIRED IN 2015? IT BROKE 1 YEAR AGO.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT IT WON'T STAY IN UP POSITION OR FULLY TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD EITHER. IT IS REALLY A VISIBILITY ISSUE BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO MEET THAT CRITERIA. I AM SURE THAT THEIR WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SOME YEARS BACK, BUT IT IS NOT LISTED ON THE NHTSA OR TOYOTA WEBSITES.

DASHBOARD MELT - DASH WHEN HEATED BY SUN OR TEMPERATURE -MELTS AND TURNS INTO A GLOSSY GLUE CONSISTANCE WHICH REFLECTS ON WINDSHIELD AND PROHIBITS SIGHT THRU THE GLARE - PREVENTS DRIVER SIGHT AND SAFETY PAPER STICKS TO IT AND SO DOES ANY FLYING BUGS, TRASH, OR OTHER OBJECTS IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH. YOU CANNOT SEE ON COMING TRAFFIC OR NAVIGATE TURNS SAFELY.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION (EXTREMELY BAD).

TOYOTA IS AWARE THAT THEY MANUFACTURED THIS CAR AND OTHERS WITH A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUED FOR THIS. THE MELTED DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE IN THE WINDOW MAKING DRIVING UNSAFE AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS. PLUS, THE GOEY DASHBOARD MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO FAIL. RATHER THAN RECALLING THE DEFECTIVE CARS AND REPLACING THE DASHBOARDS ON ALL THESE CARS, TOYOTA CHOSE TO OFFER A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. FIRST OF ALL, I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THIS WARRANTY, BUT IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE ANY DIFFERENCE IF I WOULD HAVE, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN MY CAR 2 MONTHS AFTER THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED. CAR BRAKES WEAR OUT, TIRES NEED REPLACING, DASH BOARDS ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO MELT! I IMAGINE TOYOTA EXPECTS THE DASHBOARDS TO MELT IN MOST CARS AFTER 10 YEARS AND THIS IS WHY THEY OFFERED A 10 YEAR WARRANTY. THEY CAN NOW PROFIT FROM THEIR OWN MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

MY CAMRY DASHBOARD MELTED SUCH THAT IT IS NOW REFLECTIVE LIKE A MIRROR OR GLASS ONTO MY FRONT WINDOW. THE GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDOW IS UNSAFE FOR CLEAR VIEWING. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON MAY OF 2018. BUT, A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY A MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT HAVE A LIMIT TO IT'S NECESSARY REPAIR BY TOYOTA. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE DANGER, BUT YOUR ONLY ACCEPTING JPGS BELOW.

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ARE ON THE VEHICLE SLIPS WHEN TAKING OF THE VCS STABILITY IS ON IT'S VERY SCARY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

VSC SYSTEM KEEPING APPEARING ON THE DASH BOARD

MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY LE CAUGHT ON FIRE FRIDAY JAN 4 2018. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE ONLY VISIBLE WARNING LIGHTS IILLUMINATED WAS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LIGHT. NO OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ACTIVE PRIOR TO FIRE.THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE AND WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN PORTLAND OREGON. WHEN THE FIRST STARTED FIRE WE SAW SPARKS FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND SMOKING AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ETC STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF.

THE FACTORY PROVIDED VEHICLE JACK IS OF POOR QUALITY. IT BENT FROM THE MIDDLE AFTER THE VERY FIRST USE. IF NOT FOR THE TIRE STILL ON THE AXEL, THE CAR WOULD'VE HAD LOTS OF DAMAGE.

DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY MELTING ,SCRAPING OFF

DASHBOARD IS STICKY, GUMMY AND PEELING OFF. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO AUGUST 30, 2018. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER IN AUGUST 2017 WITH THE PROBLEM EXISTING BUT DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL. TOYOTA INFORMED ME TODAY THAT THEY SENT A NOTICE TO OWNERS IN 2014 BUT I DIDN'T OWN THE CAR IN 2014 SO NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE. IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET THIS COVERED? IT'S GROSS. I CAN'T FIND ANY WAY TO FIX IT WITHOUT TEARING THE DASHBOARD OUT AND REPLACING IT MYSELF AND I'M NOT GOOD AT THAT. I CAN SEND YOU PICTURES OF THE NASTINESS. THE FORM ASKS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I BOUGHT IT WITH THE PROBLEM AND DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT.

DASH BOARD MELTING. CAUSES GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. AND IS VERY STICKY

I DIDNT RECEIVE A NOTICE ON RECALL OF DASHBOARD. MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND HAS CRACKED. CLEARLY NEEDS REPLACING. PLEASE RESPOND SO WE CAN GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED. STARTED FEW YEARS AGO.

SHINY/STICKY/MELTING DASHBOARD RECALL ON TOYOTA CAMRY. MY MOTHER HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR THREE YEARS. BEING THAT SHE HAS A LANGUAGE BARRIER SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF A RECALL. TOYOTA STATES THEY SENT HER TWO NOTICES IN 01/15 AND 10/15, WHICH SHE CANNOT RECALL RECEIVING AND WOULDNT HAVE UNDERSTOOD IF THEY WERE IN ENGLISH. NOW SHE DRIVES AROUND WITH THIS DASHBOARD REFLECTING OFF HER WINDSHIELD AT NIGHT AND SOMETIMES DURING THE SUNNY DAYS SO MUCH THAT ITS HARD FOR HER TO SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND I BELIEVE SHE CAN POTENTIALLY GET INTO AN AUTO ACCIDENT. TOYOTA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD OR RECALL, BUT IT SHOULD BE. THE WARRANTY SHOULD REMAIN OPEN UNTIL ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM ARE FIXED!! IF MY MOTHER HAS AN ACCIDENT, TOYOTA SHOULD BE LIABLE!!! TOYOTA SAYS THE EXTENSION FOR THIS WARRANTY ENDED JUST LAST MONTH 07/18, BUT AFTER THE TWO NOTICES IN 2015 THEY NEVER SENT FURTHER NOTICES.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 77 SOUTH, JUST NORTH OF BOILVAR, OH, 70 MPH, HEARD LOUD EXPLOSION. THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE. CHECKED TO FIND IT WAS MY MOON ROOF. IT SHATTERED TO PIECES. THE HOLE WAS THE SIZE OF A BASKETBALL, WITH REMAINING GLASS CRACKED TO THE POINT IT CRUMBLED TO THE TOUCH. NO OTHER CARS, TRUCKS, OR FOREIGN OBJECTS WERE NEAR ME. THE GLASS SIMPLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS NEARBY, BOTH SIDES OF ROAD WERE WOODS AND I WAS IN A RURAL AREA. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND I'M THE ONLY OWNER. I WILL CONTACT LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AS I USE MY CAR DAILY. DATE OF INCIDENT 8/26/18, TIME ABOUT 8:40 A.M. NO INJURIES, OTHER THAN MONETARY. THE INTERIOR SLIDE COVER, UNDER MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED. MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED. NO POLICE REPORT FILED. I COVERED THE AREA WITH PLASTIC AND DUCT TAPE WHILE ON THE ROAD. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, I REMOVED THE DISTRESSED GLASS, SWEPT THE AREA, AND WILL SEE TOYOTA AND GLASS REPAIR FACILITY TOMORROW (MONDAY 8/27/18).

2009 CAMRY HYBRID MELTING DASHBOARD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS ONE CAN'T SEE INCOMING TRAFFIC OR PEDESTRIANS WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. I HAVE BEEN IN FEW CLOSE CALL INCIDENTS WHERE I COULDN'T SEE PEDESTRIANS OR TRAFFIC INFRONT OF ME. PLEASE RECALL THIS PROBLEM WITH THE MELTING/CRACKING DASHBOARD.

MY MECHANIC IS TOLD ME FOR YEARS THAT I HAVE A OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. MY OIL RUNS OUT AFTER ABOUT 1500 MILES. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY CONTINUOUSLY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED TO POST A COMPLAINT ON THIS BOARD SO THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.

STICKY DASH 'NOTIFICATION' OR LACK THEREOF, I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY TO ASK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THE CAR IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF THE SECONDARY WARRANTY I'M SCREWED AND STUCK WITH A STICKY, STINKING (COSTLY -$1600) MESS. I'VE TRIED CLEANING IN WITH NUMEROUS PRODUCTS SAFE FOR THE MATERIAL TO NO AVAIL, THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING ON IT. I DECIDED TODAY TO GOOGLE AND SEE IF I COULD FIND A CLEANER/RESOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. I WORK LONG HOURS AND HONESTLY DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE DASH. THE DASH HAS EVEN STARTED TO CRACK. I LIVE IN HOT, HUMID ALABAMA AND PICKING DEAD FLIES ETC FROM THE STICKY MESS ISN'T AN EASY OR ENJOYABLE JOB. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THIS DASH IMMEDIATELY, THIS CAR IS FINALLY PAID FOR AND NOW THIS ... ARGHHH WHAT A PAIN !

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD MELTING. THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME SHINY AND CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD.

WHILE DRIVING IN THIS 100 DEGREE WEATHER I TURN ON THE A/C THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON AT THE SAME TIME ALSO MY ODOMETER AND RPM NEEDLES STOP WORKING

OIL CONSUMPTION. I NEED TO ADD OIL EVERY 1100 TO 1250 MILAGE.

MELTING DASH STICKY SHINY GLARE

VERY STICKY DASHBOARD THAT IS SHINY AND BLINDNING

THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED OVER TIME AND WAS NOTICED APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS BACK. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW I COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL TODAY WHEN I GOOGLED "HOW TO TREAT TOYOTA SHINY STICKY/MELTED DASH BOARD". I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SENT OUT A LETTER STATING THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION TO ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT AS AN OWNER I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION OF THIS WARRANTY. I'VE HAD VERY VISUAL DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN. THE DASHBOARD IS CONSTANTLY BEING DAMAGED WHEN WIPED WITH A CLEAN/WET CLOTH. TOYOTA NOW STATES I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE I MISSED THE WARRANTY BY 13 BUSINESS DAYS. THIS IS A HORRENDOUS BUSINESS PRACTICE TO NOT REPLACE A KNOWN ISSUE. IT HAS BECOME A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY.

DASH HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY. IT CAUSES AN UNSAFE GLARE WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN.

OIL CONSUMPTION - MY 2009 CAMRY IS USING A LOT OF OIL. HAD THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. 2 WEEKS LATER I'M ALREADY A QUART LOW. AT THIS RATE THERE WILL BE NO OIL LEFT BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION USE IS 1.5 QUARTS EVERY 1200 MILES THAT IS CRAZY. THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL. I SAW ONLINE THIS HAS EFFECTED CARS FROM 2007 TO 2011. SO IF YOU OWN ONE IN THIS YEAR RANGE YOU BASICALLY HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY WEEK OR TWO.

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND CRACKED, MAKING A TERRIBLE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I RECENTLY REALIZED THAT MANY WITH THIS MAKE/MADEL VEHICLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE

THE CHECK VSC SYSTEM WAS DISPLAYED IN MY TOTOYA CAMRY 2009 HYBRID, THIS MORNING. THE WARNING, ABS, BRAKES, PARKING BRAKE AND SKID CONTROL LIGHTS HAVE TURNED ON. FROM TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT APPEARS THAT THE BRAKES SEEM LESS RESPONSIVE.

DRIVERS SIDE VISOR DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO PULL IT ALL THE WAY UP OR DOWN IMPEDING VISION

I WAS TRAVEL ON THE BELT AROUND RICHMOND (295) HEADED SOUTH AT APPROX. 70 MPH AND THE BACK WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY CRACKED OPEN. THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION LIKE SOUND GOING OFF AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN MY SUN ROOF. THIS OCCURRED ON 19 OCT 2017 @ 1800HRS. I LOOKED FOR A ROCK OR ANY OTHER OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND NOTHING WAS FOUND.

MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND MELTING. THE STICKY DASHBOARD HAS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD HARDLY SEE WHERE I'M GOING WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD SHINES IN MY FACE AND SOMETIMES BLINDS ME. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0 EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS STILL PERFORMING AND ACCELERATING. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY TOYOTA.

ODO METER MALFUNCTION, ABS LIGHT,BRAKE LIGHT ON. AC NOT WORKING

STICK DASHBOARD THAT IS DETERIORATING AND CREATES GLARE THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO FOCUS ON ROADWAY. TOYOTA DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF RECALL AND I MISSED THE CUTOFF FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE. NO TAKATA AIRBAG NOTICE OR ANY OTHER RECALL ISSUES HAVE BEEN SENT TO ME FROM TOYOTA

TAKATA RECALL 1) THE STICKYNESS OF THE DASHBOARD, AND (2) THE SHINY/REFLECTIVE SURFACE THE DASHBOARD CREATES, AS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER HAS HAD THE STICKY RESIDUE CAUSE DIFFICULTY IN DECISION MAKING WITH REFLECTION. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED WITH HER SAFETY!WE PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MARCH 2017 FROM A RETIRED OWNER.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY IN UP POSITION. IT FLOPS DOWN, BLOCKING VISION. TOYOTA SAYS THEY MAY OR MAY NOT COVER IT. SEEMS LIKE A HAZZARD THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.

MY CAMRY BURNS OIL EXCESSIVELY. I TOOK THEIR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME I PASSED YET BEFORE 2500 MILES I HAD LITTLE TO NO OIL IN MY ENGINE. MY SISTER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM YET ON THE 5TH TIME THEY REPLACED HER ENGINE NOW THEY TELL ME MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY STANDARDS

WATER PUMP WAS MAKING LOUD NOISE DUE TO POOR ASSEMBLY LINE SUPPLIED FROM TOYOTA VENDER FOR THIS SPECIFIC MODEL DUE TO PLAY IN PULLY /SHAFT /BEARING,FINALY WATER PUMP STOPS WORKING,IF CAR IS IN MOTION,THERE IS CHANCE OF GETTING HOT AND CATCHING FIRE.THIS HAPPENED AT 33807 MILES ON ODOMETER.I ALSO SEARCHED GOOGLE LOTS OF PEOPLE REPORTED ISSUE WITH WATER PUMP RANGING MILEAGE BETWEEN 33000 TO 45000 ON ODOMETER FOR THIS 2009 TOYOTA LE 4 CYL 2.4L AUTOMATIC ENGINE OF THIS SPECIFIC MODEL ONLY

FAST WEARING TIRES, UNDER 22,000 MILES AND DEALER SAYS I NEED NEW TIRES.I FULLY EXPECTED CLOSER TO 40,000 MILES AS STANDARD TODAY. DEALER SAYS TREADS ARE "4/32 ALL AROUND".

SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT STAY SNAPPED UP, FALLS DOWN INHIBITING MY ABILITY TO SEE SAFELY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TO DUCK DOWN TO OBTAIN A CLEAR VIEW OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR HAS ALMOST COMPLETELY FALLEN OFF. I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE VISOR NOW BLOCKS MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL NOT FOLD UP AND OUT OF THE WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 4 DAYS.

WE HAVE A 2009 CAMRY LE WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT. THE DASH IS STARTING TO MELT AND STICK.

MOTOR OIL LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON INDICATING THAT MY OIL IS LOW OR OUT. I HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MOTOR OIL IN IT, BECAUSE THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON LETTING ME KNOW THAT I WAS OUT OF MOTOR OIL. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2009.

MY CAR DOES NOT START WHEN THE WEATHER GETS CHILLI. TRYED SO MANY TIMES BUT WON'T TURN ON

MY DASHBOARD PANEL IS MELTING IN MY CAR. THE DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY STICKY AND EVERYTHING THAT FALLS ON IT GETS STUCK AND I CANNOT GET IT OFF THE DASHBOARD. I TRY TO CLEAN MY CAR AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO THE DASH. I TRY TO WIPE IT DOWN WITH WATER AND A TOWEL, BUT IT JUST PULLS THE LINT OFF A MICROFIBER TOWEL AND IT GETS STUCK. IT IS REALLY IRRITATING AND I HOPE TOYOTA FIXES MY PROBLEM AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS DEFECTS. MY ENTIRE FAMILY DRIVES TOYOTA'S AND IF THEY DO NOT FIX THIS ISSUE, WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY TIES WITH TOYOTA.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP AND IS A DANGER TO DRIVE AND CAUSES LIMITED VISION TO SEE THE ROAD. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH CAMRYS.

I RECEIVED 1ST NOTICE FROM TOYOTA MOTOR REGARDING FACTORY WARANTY EXTENSION BECAUSE OF STICKY DASHBOARD ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I RECEIVED 2ND NOTICE LAST SPRING AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTO SERVICE AND VERIFIED THAT MY CAR DASHBOARD NEED TO BE REPKACED. THE PUT THE LINE FOR REPLACEMENT AND THEY WERE GOING TO NOTIFY ME. IT WAS APRIL 2016. WHEN I CALLED SEVICE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS THEY SAID IT BACK ORDER AND WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEN I DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTO MOTOR CUSTEMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID MY ORDER WAS IN THE LINE AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT WILL BE IN SERVICE. I SAID OK. TWO DATS AGO I CALLED TOUOTO MOTOR AND ASK WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE DELIVERED. THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW IT IS BACK ORDER. THEY SAID I AM GOING TO BE NOTIFIED. I WANTED TO TALK THEIR MANEGER . THEY SAID THEIR MABAGER WILL CALL ME. TODAY I HAVE RECEIVED CALL. SHE REPEATED SAME THINGS. IT IS BACKORDER THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE REPLACED. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED NOW. I DON'T THING THAT THEY HAVE PLAN TO SATISFY THEIR CUSTOMER. THEY JUST ACT LIKE THEY TAKING CARE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IF COURT ORDER. I SEARCGED MANY TOYOTO OWNER ARE WAITING FOR TOYOTO SERVICES CALL THEM FIR DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT BUT I BELIVE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS ACTION. GOVERMENT OFFICES MYST START INVESTIGATION AND CLARIFY WHAT ACTION AND HOW MANY CARS DASHBOARD PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SOLVED AFTER THE COURT ORDER. IT WAS SAFETY PROBLEM AND MY GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUSH TOYOTO TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL TRY TO FIND THE COURT, THE FEDERAL JUDGE AND INFORM THAT TOYOTO LYING MANY TOYOTO OWNER AND THEY DON'T TAKE SERIOUS ACTION TO SOLVE IT. THEIR ONLY ANSWER THE IT IS BACKORDER PART. YOU HAVE TO ORDER THAT HOW MANY CARS' DASHBOARD HAVE VEEN REPLACED OVER KAST 2 YEARS. THE NUMBER WILL GIVE IDEA HOW MUCH THEY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. IT IS BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF SHINY DASHBOARD.

MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR JUST BROKE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT'S A 2009, BUT PURCHASED IN 2008. FINALLY GOT MY DASHBOARD REPLACED LAST WEEK ALF ASKED ABOUT THE VISOR. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WON'T FIX IT SINCE ITS PASSED THE WARRANTY TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT SINCE IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH IT DOWN ALL THE TIME. I'VE LOVED MY CAMRY, BUT TO SPEND OVER $100 TO FIX THE VISOR IS STEEP.

2 YEAR WAIT FOR A RECALLED DASHBOARD. THIS IS ABSURD. WE ARE A FAMILY OF 3 TOYOTA'S AND THIS ONE IS AN EMBARRASSMENT. SURELY, THERE IS SOMEONE WHO CAN GET THIS FIX DONE. PLEASE CALL ME, 772-924-5022.

STICKY DASHBOARD. NOTICED 2 MONTHS AGO THAT THE WHOLE DASHBOARD IS STICKY/GUMMY. I HAVE DEPOSIT ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE. COULD THE TWO BE CONNECTED.

STICKY/DETERIORATING DASHBOARD. VEHICLE PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2009 FROM A TOYOTA DEALER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED AT A CAR WASH. SPRAY PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO PRESERVE VINYL HAVE NEVER BEEN APPLIED. NOTICED WEEK OF 9/1/2016 THAT THE DASHBOARD BENEATH THE WINDSHIELD IS GUMMY. PRIOR TO THIS DISCOVERY, WE HAD BEEN FIGHTING A STRANGE DEPOSIT ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE WINDSHIELD. WE BELIEVE IT WAS OFF GASSING OF THE CHEMICALLY CHANGING DASHBOARD.

STICKY DASHBOARD. DEPREACIATED VALUE TO TRY TO SEEL. WHO WOULD WANT IT. FEEL STUCK. FRUSTRATED. STICKY DASHBOARD CAUSING GLARE ON WINDOW THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT SUNNY OUT.FEEL CHEATED BY TOYOTA. I HAVE BOUGHT TOYOTAS FOR THE LAST THREE CARS. NOT AGAIN. I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T SELL IT OR EVEN TRADE IT WITHOUT TAKING A LOST ON THE VALUE AND ITS THEIR FAULT NOT MIND. I FEEL TAKEN, SCREWED AND WANT SOMETHING DONE.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IS EXTREMELY STICKY. THIS CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS DASHBOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE ADVISE! I'LL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE. THANK YOU!

DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN TO MELT AND IS REALLY STICKY. IT CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS BLINDING!

A WHITE SMOKE COMES FROM THE EXHAUST EVERY TIME I START THE CAR.

SUN VISOR HAS FALLEN OFF DRIVERS SIDE. PASSENGER SIDE IS FALLING DOWN.

MY DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY SHINY AND STICKY. WHEN IT''S SUNNY OUT, THE GLARE IS SO STRONG THAT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. VERY SCARY AT 60 MPH. I LIVE IN SUNNY SOUTH FLORIDA, SO THIS IS A PROBLEM 90% OF THE TIME.

FRONT SPRING COILS BREAKING - RIGHT FRONT BROKE WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN THEY TOLD ME THE LEFT FRONT WAS ALSO BROKEN! COST ME 500.00 TO FIX BOTH!

ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27,2016 I GOT OUT OF MY CAR,OPENED THE TRUNK, TOOK SOME THINGS OUT, TRIED TO CLOSE IT, IT BOUNCED UP. I FOUND OUT THE TRUNK LOCK PAD WOULD NOT LOCK, I WAS TOLD TO ORDER A DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR INTEGRATED WITH A LATCH. RECEIVED IT, PUT IT ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THIS COULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND INJURY TO A PERSON ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS IN ROUTE. PUT NEW PART ON AND IT WONT LOCK. FEEL ITS DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO ALTAR THE SITUATION.

LIMITED VISIBILITY THRU WINDSHIELD DUE TO DASHBOARD REFLECTION (MELTING DASHBOARD HAS CAUSED A HIGH GLOSS FINISH). THIS CONDITION HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME AND PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA HAS CREATED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS, HOWEVER, MY DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED THE DASHBOARDS ARE LIMITED AND SAID HE HAS A CUSTOMER ALREADY WAITING 6 MONTHS. I TALKED WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A SAFETY HAZARD, COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN A REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM COMPELLED TO REPLACE THESE PARTS IN A TIMELY MANNER. IN MY OPINION THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL AND NOT A 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT". PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGES.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS A DANGER FOR ANY OWNER. WITH THE DASHBOARD BEING STICKY/MELTING, WHEN LIGHT HITS THE DASHBOARD IT CAUSES MAJOR BLIND SPOTS THAT COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY AUTOMOBILE TO BE ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU COULD POTENTIALLY RUN OVER PEOPLE OR HIT OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD REFLECTS OFF THE WINDSHIELD.

AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY CAR SPACE AT WORK, MY 2009 CAMRY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND SURGED INTO THE BRICK WALL OF A BUILDING.

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH.

DASH IS MELTING WITH THE AZ HEAT. LOOKS TERRRIBLE.

OIL CHANGE DONE JUNE 22,2015. WENT TO LOCAL MECHANIC TO CHECK ALL FLUIDS BEFORE DRIVE TO TAMPA. OIL LEVEL VERY LOW. HAD OIL ADDED ON AUGUST 22 ,2015. ON OCTOBER 27, 2015 I NOTICED A RED LIGHT ON LEFT SIDE OF DASHBOARD SAYING MAINT REQD.GOOGLE SAYS TIME FOR OIL CHANGE. STICKER FROM TOYATO SAYS NEXT OIL CHANGE 95,330 MILES, IM ONLY 94,100 OR CLOSE. IS THERE A RECALL. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN OIL PROBLEM, WINDSHIELD WIPER AND SUN VISOR PROBLEM, WHICH I HAD NOT RECOGNIZED THE OIL PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP HAD JUST NEGLECTED TO PUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF OIL IN DOING THE OIL CHANGE. PRIOR TO PROBLEM I RECEIVED POSSIBLE RECALL NOTICE FOR SOMETHING ELSE . CAMPAIGN # ID#15V577 REFERENCE # 878051. I WILL BE CALLING TOYOTA (AUTONATION) IN PINELLAS PARK ABOUT PROBLEM. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHENEVER I START UP THE ENGINE AND STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 2 TO 3 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR CONSTANTLY DROOPS AND SAGS, UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CLOSED POSITION. U.S. MADE CAMRYS WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL. THIS SUBJECT CAMRY WAS MADE IN JAPAN IMPORTED TO U.S.

IN SPITE OF KEEPING SUN SHADES UP ALL THE TIME THE CAR IS PARKED, MY DASHBOARD IS INCREASINGLY STICKY AND MELTING. THE SHINY GLARE THAT HAS DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS IN MY EYES AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY.

I OWN A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. IN 2013 OR 2014 TOYOTA REPAIRED THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE SUN VISOR IS DROOPING, IT HANGS FREELY AND WILL NOT REMAIN IN EITHER THE UP OR DOWN POSITION. TOYOTA SAYS THEY CAN'T REPAIR THIS SINCE THE CAR IS MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OLD.

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT MY RESIDENCE. THERE WERE 2 HOLES IN THE IN THE REAR WINDOW;ONE WAS EXTRA LRGE AND THE OTHER SMALL. THE REST WAS SHATTERED, BUT STILL INTACT. THE POLICE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THERE WAS FOUL PLAY, BUT FOUND NONE.THEY FOUND ROCKS OR OR ANYTHING ELSE IN THE CAR THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE HOLES ETC. THE POLICE REPORT NUMBER IS 152829-OF. WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR THE WHOLE THING CAVED IN. THE OFFICERS TAPED UP THE REAR FOR ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER.

I MADE AN ERA ON THE FORM JUST SENT. THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER (ODI NUMBER IS: 10744793. THERE WERE 2 HOLES IN THE REAR WINDOW OF MY PARKED VEHICLE; 1 WAS EXTRA LARGE AND THE OTHER ONE A LITTLE SMALLER. THE OTHER PORTION OF THE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED BUT STILL IN TACT. THE POLICE OFFICERS INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THERE WAS FOUL PLAY, BUT NONE WAS FOUND. THEY FOUND NO ROCKS OR ANY THING ELSE IN THE CAR THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE

THE SUN VISOR IN DRIVER SIDE DEFECT , LOOSE AND MAY BLOCK DRIVER'S VISION

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL: OVER THE LAST YEAR I NOTICED MY OIL CONSUMPTION WAS DRASTICALLY INCREASING. I STARTED BURNING THROUGH OIL AND HAVING TO ADD A QUART EVERY 2 MONTHS AND NOW MONTHLY. IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, A VERY LARGE PLUME OF WHITE SMOKE WOULD SPEW OUT OF MY TAIL PIPES; NOT JUST A LITTLE BUT A LARGE CLOUD OF SMOKE. IT HAS A VERY BURNT SMELL TO IT TOO. THE SMOKE DISSIPATES AFTER THE CAR WARMS AND AS LONG AS THE CAR IS WARM, IT WILL NOT SMOKE. IT ONLY SMOKE WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OFF FOR OVER 2-3 HOURS. I WAS TOLD BY A CERTIFIED TOYOTA MECHANIC THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO FAULTY INTERNAL PARTS. HE STATED IT WAS THE REASON FOR SUCH A HIGH LEVEL OF OIL CONSUMPTION. I DISCOVERED THAT TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY RECALLING CERTAIN ENGINE BLOCKS DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION DEFECTS, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL AS OF NOW. ACCORDING TO TOYOTA, MY VIN COULD EVENTUALLY BECOME PART OF THE RECALL (OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL) BUT AS OF NOW, IT IS NOT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A MAJOR MANUFACTURER WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIR MY ENGINE CONSIDERING THEY ARE ALREADY RECALLING OTHER ENGINES WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY CAMRY. THIS WAS MY FIRST CAMRY TOO. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA.

THE DASHBOARD TO MY CAMRY IS VERY STICKY. I LIVE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE GLARE ON THE WIND SHIELD CAUSED BY THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS SO BAD I HAVE TO LEAN TO MY RIGHT WHILE DRIVING IN ORDER TO SEE BETTER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I NEED SOME INFORMATION ASAP ON GETTING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. IT'S A SHAME THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT CORRECT THIS ISSUE. HOW MANY ACCIDENTS/DEATHS HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE!?

TOYOTA CAMRY 2009. WHEN DASH HEATS UP IT STARTS SHINNING AND CAUSE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD, IT CAUSES OBSTRUCTIVE VISION TO THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY OF THE ROADWAY. IN ADDITION, THE MATERIAL ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD BECOME VERY STICKY AND APPEARED TO BE MELTING. GLARE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. CONSUMER STATED ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE POWER OFF BUTTON. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. CONSEQUENTLY, CARBON MONOXIDE ENTERED THE CONSUMER'S HOME. SHE AND HER HUSBAND WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW SHE HAD TO HOLD THE BUTTON, TO COMPLETELY TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. *SS.

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY MELTING. IT IS STICKY AND REFLECTS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

DASHBOARD DEFECT, MELTING. OVER TIME IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. ESPECIALLY WHEN SUNNY THERE IS A GLARE IN THE WINDOW. WEARING SUNGLASSES ONLY HELPS MINIMALLY. *TR

LEAKING FRONT STRUTS: I REPORTED THE FINDING TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER (SCOTT TOM TOYOTA, NAMPA, IDAHO) AND ALSO CALLED THE MAIN TOYOTA CUSTOMER CENTER. THE LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE ASSOCIATE CONFIRMED THE EXISTENCE OF THE LEAKAGE. I WAS TOLD THE AMOUNT OF THE LEAKAGE IS "SMALL," "NORMAL," NO NEED TO REPAIR AT THIS POINT, AND IF I WANT TO HAVE IT REPLACED THEN ITS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE LEAKING STRUTS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON TO TOYOTA CAMRY AND MAY POSE POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE.

2009 TOYOTA COROLLA. CONSUMER EXPRESSES DISCONTENT WITH RECALL SERVICES AND WOULD LIKE A SERVICE DESCRIPTION DETAILING WHAT WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE AND AN HONEST ANSWER AND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL *TGW THE CONSUMER TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. HOWEVER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE HAD BEEN DOWNLOADED TO THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SYSTEM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT NEED A SHIM FOR THE GAS PEDAL, BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN JAPAN.
