I have a 2007 toyota camry and the dashboard is melting. The dashboard towards the windshield is always in a liquid state and the rest of the dashboard is soft. In the sunshine and at night under street lights the dashboard reflects a glare onto the windshield that impairs the drivers entire vision of the road. Also on the passenger side of the dashboard the outline of the airbag compartment can be seen. I believe the glare on the windshield is a hazard and due to the current condition of the dashboard the passenger airbag may fail to deploy when needed. The dashboard has not been treated with chemicals that may have caused this problem. It has always been cleaned with a wet wash cloth.

I owned a 2007 camry le. On 3/05/11 my brakes failed while on the highway. I careened across the highway and then the car started flipping. The car flipped at least 3 times before hitting an exit sign. The exit sign then pierced the roof of the car and landed between my legs. Thank god I wasn't seriously hurt. But through all the flipping across the concrete, my airbags did not deploy. My complaint is brake failure and lack of airbag deployment.
I hit a bmw. I was changing the station in my car and when I looked up I was too close to the bmw to successfully stop before hitting them. As a result, because the bmw was completely stopped, a domino effect occurred in that the two cars in front of the bmw were also hit. The damage to the bmw, the car I directly hit, was a back bumper that was slightly de-attached from the car (moderate damage) and a the front windshield cracked. The airbag in the bmw deployed. My airbag did not. I was in an accident in 2008 where I was rear-ended. Again, at the rate I was hit, my car's airbag did not deploy. This is the second toyota that I have bought where the airbag did not deploy. I worry that there was something wrong with my car's sensors.
The airbag cover on the windshield post was installed with a defective/and or damaged clip. The airbag cover was loose and could have been snagged by a passenger,etc. And come off at any time. The toyota dealer maintained that these covers were just cosmetic and that I could drive without covers and the car would still be completely safe. I did not want to drive it that way so I paid the dealer $ 71.78 for parts and labor to replace their defective part. I want to know who at toyota would want to drive a car on our freeways with a compromised air bag system in that condition?

I bought a 2007 camry hybrid from autoland (springfield, nj) in 2007, VIN [xxx]. Recently I was in an auto accident (august 25, 2010) in which I hit a car in front of me. I don't have the exact speed of the impact but I would estimate it was 25-35 MPH. The resulting impact resulted in a total wreck of the car (photos available). However, the airbag did not deploy despite the force of the impact being substantial enough to total the car. I was injured in the accident, with injuries which include a cut on the forehead from hitting the windshield and neck soreness. The car was recently serviced by toyota, so teh the airbag system should have operated properly. Records available from the dealer. I was the only person in my car. No one else was injured. My insurance company suggested I contact toyota, I had a very hard time reaching them and they do not have a email or web based way of filing these issues. When I finally spole to a representative, they claimed that the aribag functioned as designed. Apparently the rate of deceleration is factored into decision to deploy. I was breaking for about one second when I hit and despite my velocity at impact ( 25 to 35 mp) , the fact that I was slowing down was a decision factor not to deploy. I am an engineer and quite frankly I am surprised with this criterion for deployment. The person on the phone at toyota could not elaborate further. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
