My daughter was driving our camry to work on dry city pavement. She was going through an intersection (her light was green) when she was hit by a cadillac escalade. The impact was hard enough it spun her around on a dry city street and made the car jump a curb. The escalade ran a red light. The side impact air bags did not deploy. Toyota said they behaved as expected.

I was driving into my garage and had just brake to let it ease in. My foot was still on the brake, when the car suddenly revved and lunged forward. The brake would not work, and it was as if the car had a mind of its own. It hit the crate that was in front of the wall, and forced a bike rack through the wall. The front bumper of my car was cracked in places. The car then stopped. So scary! I immediately called my dealership and was told they could not talk to me. I needed to call the corporation, which I did. After two months of waiting on a decision, I was told there is nothing wrong with my car, and that's that. I have since learned that there have been other incidents with toyotas just like mine. I am petrified to drive the car, and yet I am also afraid to pass it on to someone else. I don't want anyone hurt. I have called toyota, and they do not return my calls I am wondering what I can do.

My 07 camry runs completely out of oil before it's time for it to be changed. I have had the car checked for oil leaks and has passed each time. After researching this issue I have found that the more miles on the car the faster it runs the oil out and with that being said I now have engine damage. Not to mention this car has been the absolute worst. I put my visors down one time and had to take them off because they wouldn't go back up. The power controls in my car don't work. I also found out tonight that there was a recall on the gas pedal in this death trap that happened before I owned it that I was never informed of but knew something had to be wrong with it because it kept sticking!! I am not the only person dealing with this and find it outrageous that it has not been fixed. My children used to ride in that car!! It is a ticking time bomb and something needs to be done about this!!!!!!!

Takata recall. My dashboard is soft and get softer. It getting sticky. The worst thing is the glare that comes off it is blinding. I have almost have accentdents becouse of this. Once the sun hit you real can not see. This is one thing toyoda must replace. I know if I get into an accentdent that's I first thing I will do, get a lawyer. In fact I have been told from one the it in pairs you so much that you get in a accentdent we can go after toyoda of not recalling a part that has a safety concern. It is so soft you nail just its it and makes a dent. I don't show in a pic but by the glove box there is a piece that ever rubs off. It is as thin as one coat of paint on the glove box. Every what what the so called dash is very cheap rudder that melts, easy the damage, can not clean it or anything. I love toyoda but this dash will make my buy something else, it's a pain in the ass.
The dashboard on my 2007 toyota camry is melting and is very sticky, especially during the summer months I have read several posts regarding this very same issue and notice that no one has had this issue corrected by toyota for free, obviously this is a vehicle manufacture defect that toyota needs to deal with before someone gets hurt. I purchased a toyota vehicle because of the reputation on quality & customer service, but until now I've not seen either of these. Toyota needs to stand behind their product & make it right for all affected consumers. It is not possible to clean dashboard at all. Everything sticks to it and if you touch it with your finger nail-sticky chunks come out..... The glare is awful and since both of my visors have broken off I cant use those to help...
The dashboard of the camry becomes tacky and very shiny due to deteriation from sunlight. This shiny finish causes dangerous glare against the windshield while driving. The tackiness prevents the dashboard from being cleaned properly to prevent reflections as well.
The dashboard on my 2007 toyota camry is melting and is very sticky, especially during the summer months. I've notice this issue several years ago but didn't pay to much attention to it, other then it's difficult to clean and sticky. I received a warranty enhancement notification - ze6 from toyota motor sales regarding this issue earlier this year april 2015. I've call the local dealership where I bought the car originally and inquire about this recall notice & was told that the dashboard would be ordered & once it came in I would be contacted, I never heard back from them, so I called again recently and express my safety concerns while driving on a sunny day with glare coming off the dashboard onto the windshield, the glare is very blinding if not wearing sunglasses. I was once again told by the service rep at the toyota dealership that there's nothing they can do until they receive the parts from the manufacture & that at this time there's no time frame for correcting this issue.

I purchased my 2007 toyota camry xle in may 2006 (the VIN plate shows it was made in kentucky). 2007 was a new body style. The camry had a tach weld defect in the right rear fender well. Originally the dealer told me it was my rear grab handle shaking. I knew it wasn't. Having no other recourse, I called toyota corporate. They flew in 2 tech service engineers from ca to my state, and with the dealer, they discovered that there was a faulty (or no) tach weld in the rr fender well causing the frame of the body to strike together. The car was sent to a welding shop and the defect was repaired. It's now september 2015 and about a month ago I began to hear the "tink tink" sound again- indicating the same, or another, faulty tach weld. I have called toyota corporate again (just now), and am waiting for a response. Since this is essentially the frame of the car, I'm very concerned. (additionally I had extensive issues with this car but unless I constantly returned it to the dealer/shop I couldn't meet the lemon law threshold in my state. For example, water poured out of the driver's side visor. The dealer said it was leaves in the a pillar. I park my car in a garage.)
The seat belt did not securely hold me in when the car behind me hit me, I was at a dead stop and was rear ended, the air bags also did not deploy, and my face hit the steering wheel. The force of the rear ending pushed me into the SUV in front of me, the car was totaled. I suffered a concussion, whip lash, wrist and elbow injury and lower back was hurt after the impact. I was wearing my seat belt thankfully otherwise I could have hit the wind shield.
Rear window shattered for no reason. Can not find or see any place on the window which might have been hit with a stone beebee or paint ball. No obvious point of failure.
Toyota camry 2007 the problem is the dashboard which is sticky and I don't like . Please it needs to be fixed. Thank you !
Driving at normal speed my headlights would go out by themselves. To get them on again I would have to turn the switch on and off. I was stopped twic by state trooper and given a warning.
Car dashboard when exposed to sun , gets sticky and glossy. The reflection on the windshield creates hazardous driving condition. The dashboard material appears to be vinyl. This should be investigated, toyota motor co. Did send a letter informing that they are aware of this situation, but has no resolution or time frame in solving this problem. This is unfair to consumers.
Melting dashboard causing glares on the eyes and therefore driving becomes dangerous. The dashboard becomes sticky emitting some fumes that could be hazardous to ones health if inhaled for extended period of time. Scare to rive my new born baby in the car for fear of bad fumes out of the melting dashboard.
Sticky/melting dashboard.

Melting dashboard.
Dashboard peeling and sticking...airbags on passenger side.
A "sticky" and cracking dashboard from florida heat causes a huge glare on the windshield. This makes visibility extremely limited while driving. I have not used any cleaning or polishing products on the dashboard. I am convinced it is just from high temperatures and humidity over time. After noticing the problem I tried to reduce direct sunlight on the dashboard by using windshield covers; however, the dash still remained "sticky" and the covers just simply stuck to the dash. The issue used to only occur when it was hot outside, but now the dash has been "melted" so much so that it has become glossy. Which means even in cooler temperatures the dash reflects any sunlight and causes a glare on the windshield. Again, this issue highly decreases visibility while driving. It is often difficult to perform the easiest maneuvers simply because you cannot see. I have even bought expensive polaroid sunglasses to somewhat reduce the glare, but visibility is still difficult. I am concerned about this issue, because it can easily cause an accident which could have been prevented. Please let me know the best way to handle the situation. Thank you for your help.
