My dashboard started melting leaves a residue anytime I try to clean it. This creates a glare when I drive.
Melting dashboard.
Dashboard is deteriorating. It is extremely sticky and is also easily scratches. We are concerned about the safety of this vehicle we drive it only when absolutely needed. Florida heat during summer months makes the situation worse, dashboard becomes sticky and glare from the dashboard reflecting sun lights makes it very difficult and dangerous to drive.
Dashboard melting and pitting.
The dashboard is literally melting away.there is a horrible sticky, gooey substance that is oozing out of the entire dashboard.you cannot touch or clean it, and when driving in the direct sun, it creates such a reflection on the window that you can hardly see. I have approached toyota on this issue several times, only to be told that they have never heard of this and that the reason the dashboard is melting is because I live in texas austin.
The dashboard is sticky and on a sunny day is hard to see.
The dashboard of our 2007 toyota camry is melting. There have been no chemicals used on the dashboard what so ever. It has always only been cleaned with water. The melting is pronounced more as the dashboard nears the bottom of the windshield. It is now very sticky and is completely ruined. Most importantly, since melting, it has become very shiny. It creates a horrible glare of bright sunlight directly into your eyes as you drive. It is a serious safety issue and there is nothing you can do about it. It is almost like a mirror directly on top of your dash. I have contacted toyota and they will not acknowledge that this is a manufacturer's defect. They state the dash will have to be replaced at my expense. I have found numerous reports from other camry owner's with the same complaint. Please help.
The dashboard on my 2007 toyota camry has melted and is very sticky. It is easily damaged just by lightly bumping it. Also, the glare from the dashboard is extremely dangerous. Since I drive to work facing the sun and drive home facing the sun, the commute is very difficult, tiresome, and dangerous. Please advise me how to rectify this problem.
I starting noticing that my dashboard was getting sticky the beginning of 2014, it starting getting worse over e following months, I went online and noticed that other people were complaining about the melting dashboards on the camry so I wrote to the company numerous times, and they told me that t was past the warranty and that they would do nothing about it, and I would have to pay to get it fixed. I see is as a major issue that they knew about but won't do anything about it, I refuse to pay the ridiculous amount that it would need to be fixed. The surface is very shiny and there is a bad reflection which makes it hard to see, I had a GPS holder on the dash and it fell off and pulled off some of the dash with it. I am very upset about this and feel that toyota should fix this.
When sun comes out the dash board gets shiny and and oily. The reflection of the sun's rays from the oily surface of the dash board makes it difficult to see the road. The visibility is quite reduced and it is dangerous to drive with such poor view of the road in front. When taken to the toyota dealer in bradenton, fl. He says he has not seen any dash board like that.

Dropping my kid off at school one morning and it was very sunny. We were late that morning so a school attendant closed one side of the gate. The sun was very bright and because my dash is melting, the sun but a glare on the windshield. I was able to see the driver side of the gate was open but I wasn't able to see the passenger side of the gate was closed (large glare on windshield). I was able to make out that there were no children around to process to go through the gate but couldn't confirm that the passenger side of gate was closed. Driver side of gate was open so I never would have thought the other side would be closed. Put a big dint in my car by passenger side front window. I even had sunshades on. Took all percussions other than getting out of car to look. Didn't think it was something mandatory for me to do. I have contacted toyota several times because of the melting dashboard even before the accident.
The dashboard on my toyota camry is very sticky and shiny and it reflects a shiny shadow when the sun or night lights hit it. It causes a reflection and it makes it hard to see while driving.
Dashboard is melting causing glare into front windshield.
I reported the sticky dash problem to dealership at about 60,000 miles in 09 along with the steering wheel material falling apart. This problem has only gotten worse to the point where my dash is creating a glare on the windshield. I think there should be a recall for original owners as this can be a safety hazard. Full recall should be mandatory . But if owner has to pay it should be very little . Maybe like 500 instead of the 1800$ quote I got from the dealership . I've owned other cars in florida and never had this problem . I'm kinda disappointed that toyota will not take care of this problem and this will affect my buying decision in the future unless they fix it since this will affect my trade in value.
I own a 2007 toyota camry and my dashboard is all sticky and shiny...tried to go to the dealer...and dealer claimed it's not a recall...all the dust, dirt and debris from the outside has stuck (harbored) right onto my sticky dashboard, I have tried unsuccessfully to clean it but all elements gets stuck onto dashboard....with all this being said, I believe this has caused some breathing issues for me when I drive. (I have severe allergies)...so yes in this case, it certainly warrants a health and safety concern. I would like to escalate this issue. Thanks,
Dashboard melts, get sticky, shiny and reflects high glare in the windshield preventing clear sight to road.
"melting" dashboard in heat is a serious problem. It gets sticky like duct tape and ultimately weakens and ruins the upholstery on the dash. Toyota needs to step up and correct this issue. It's a serious one.
My dashboard was getting sticky, gummy and disintegrating. When the sun shines on it ,there is a glare which makes it hard to see. It is not safety to drive.

Melts in the sun so.soft a fingernail will damage it with just a simple brush. Cannot clean because of how soft it gets. Creates a glare which causes blindspots.
For the last year I have noticed the dashboard has been sticky. When the sun shines on it ,there is a glare which makes it hard to see. Everything sticks to the dashboard. This is a problem and a hazard and we would like toyota to provide an acceptable solution.
My 2007 toyota camry has the dashboard all melted. This causes a tremendous amount of glare while driving during the day and you cant see through the windshield. I've looked over the internet aswell as talked with friends and family and this is an ongoing problem with these camry models. Looks like a manufacture defect that toyota does not want to replace. Every year I contact them and its the same answer that it is not covered under warranty. Please help !!!

My 2007 toyota camry's dashboard is melting. It's like someone has poured honey or syrup all over it. I first noticed it this summer and it has progressively gotten worse. I have tried to clean it with windex and a paper towel or a dry cloth. It now has paper towel pieces stuck all over it and the dust is permanently on the dash because it won't wipe off. There is also a glare on the windshield and a horrible substance on the inside of the windshield that cannot be wiped off no matter how much you clean it, it just smears. This causes difficulties driving at night. God only knows what chemicals are being released inside the vehicle that we are all inhaling! I have taken my car to round rock toyota in round rock, tx and they basically told me how awful it was but they couldn't/wouldn't help me unless I wanted to purchase a new dash board for my car. From my reading on the internet I have found that there are many people with this same problem and toyota is doing absolutely nothing to make amends for the defective materials they have used in these vehicles. I cannot sell my car like this and I'm sure it will effect the value of my car should I ever try to replace it.
My dashboard of my 2007 toyota camry has completely melted and is causing my view to be obstructed by the suns glare when driving. Toyota will not replace or fix this.
My dashboard is melting. It's become extremely sticky and shiny. I do not use any chemicals or other products on the dashboard .this seems to be a very well known problem with so many customers reporting the same problem and yet toyota does not recall. The plastic is failing. It's dangerous because it's so terribly shiny.
The dashboard is melting and peeling. It is sticky and soft. This causes a glare and obstructs my view as well as makes objects stick onto it.
