About a year to year and a half after purchasing my camry the dashboard started becoming sticky and causing a horrible glare on the windshield. Every time I brought it into the dealership I was told it was a manufacturer's defect but they would not take care of it and that it would cost me over $2000.00 to fix it. Even when I switched dealerships I was told the same thing. Now if it is a manufacturer's defect why is it my responsibility to pay to have it replaced? The glare during the summer in florida is really bad. The glare has been so bad that I have almost had a few accidents because of it. I used to swear by toyotas but now I don't think I would ever by one again after this.

My dash board is melting and it has a shiny glare when the sun hits the dash it causes a glare and you can not see good out of the wind shield. It is very dangerous and toyota will not fix this manufacturer defect that so many of us owners do have the same problem. I bought my toyota brand new and I noticed after about 3 years of owning the car that the dash was very sticky and shiny. I did take it to hollywood toyota and they said they would fix it if I paid half. Since this was a manufacture defect I told them that I would not be willing to pay for this awful product that they made. Its very dangerous and it should be recalled.

At around the end of july 2012 the dash board on my 2007 camry started to get gummy and sticky. When I went to the dealer I was told that the car was out of warranty and that the dash could be replace but that it would cost me out of pocket. Now my dash board is in really bad shape. This is a defective piece of equipment hows it possible that toyota does not stand behind it's product. Toyota put out something back in 2011 or 2012 about this issue and the lexus brand.

I just purchased this 2007 camry from a car dealership . Very nice car low miles well taken care of. I checked the car out very well I thought . These cars bring a premium price. While test driving noticed dash cover lifted it up looked for cracks looked fine. Later on that day bought car . While waiting for someone to drive my other vehicle home thought didn't like dash cover and decided to take it off. Mistake! Dash was so sticky like you spray adhesive on it . The dash cover has small velcro strips on stuck to dash which while attempting to remove took piece of dash with it. Went into dealership explained situation to sales rep and they fixed hole. Asked why dash sticky he did not know. On a hot sunny day better have dark sunglasses on for the glare from dash is a distraction. Dash puts off a odor when hot and sticky. I put cover back on dash it helps some. I should of did more research on 2007 camry because a lot of people are having same issue. There is no solution other than a new dash which toyota so far will not pay for. Toyota needs to save their reputation because I will never buy another toyota !

My 2007 toyota camry se has dash board melted with heat from sun. The plastic coating has turned into a sticky glue like surface, if I touch the surface with hand my hand gets stuck to it like super glue. Front dash board now reflect direct light from sun and creates a very bright glare and affects driver and front passenger visibility of road.

The dashboard started to get sticky and come apart. It also caused a glare when driving in the daytime. It has increasingly gotten worse.
Dashboard is melting. Dashboard is sticky. Melting dashboard now has a sheen that glares into eyes under certain lighting conditions.
Over the past several years, I have noticed my dashboard is overly hot in high temps. (I live in sw florida). Today, the dashboard is sticky, very hot, shiny in spots, and now filled with small chunks from y fingernail hitting it. I can't clean it as the rag will stick. This is obviously a material defect that the maker used. No where in my owners manual or contract did it state that the dashboard will become much after 6 years, and the car should only be used in the colder states. I use four layers of house insulation and a sun visor. Nothing helps, as this problem is aggravated by high temperatures. I am told this is a $1,000 dashboard and I will have to pay for labor to get it replaced. Really/ how unacceptable. Again, no where in my contract did it state that just over warranty expiration, the dash would melt. And how does this affect the passengers airbag? And the glare from the sun on the dash? How can this be safe. How many complaints need to happen before someone interjects? Please recall this item and make our vehicles safe. A very unsatisfied customer. (1 of many!).
The dashboard of my toyota is falling apart. It is a safety hazard as it contains the passenger air bag. Additionally, the glare caused by the shine is very distracting both day and night as sunlight and lights reflect and blind the driver. I believe warranties should cover anything that is a defective part and that's what this is, a defective part, if a part is defective when you manufacturer the car or whether it fails within warranty or out of warranty it shouldn't make any difference." I and other drivers feel the defect is unsafe, and shine a light on the issue with videos taken from their point of view. Now we've learned the safety issues may go even deeper. "because this dashboard has the airbag inside on the passenger side I wouldn't feel safe in a car that had a cracked dash," explained [xxx]. "anything that would make an airbag go off too soon or go off too late would be very serious." information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
White powder or dust blowing out of air vents of my heating vents in winter and AC vents in summer. Due to that car also smell like dusty etc.. This problem is occurring since last summer, problem persist last summer, winter and now this summer. First time my kids (4 and 3 years old) was riding in my car to grocery store 3 miles from home, they had problem breathing and they are coughing, so I have open my all window, so kids can breathe. I am exhaling that white powder inside me, I am not sure what that powder is, and how it will effect my health in long term. I took my care to 3 different toyota dealerships and everyone said without open my car that this is known issue with this model.
My 2007 toyota camry is very sticky and melting. I went to the dealer and they said they had alot of complaints be there hasn't been a recalled. It is a danger because they glare on the glaring reflections makes in impossible to drive at night. This is a manufacturing defect and it should be replaced.
