I have a 2007 toyota camry that my dashboard is melting in the sun. It is sticky to the touch and puts out a glare on the windshield when diving causing loss of visibility in sunlight. In cleaning the dashboard to remove the stickiness due to it melting the dashboard is now damage by my fingernail. Any assistants with this matter will be appreciated.

Dashbord melting (material melt in the sun light), that leads to reflection on the glass during the day time that hazadrds to drivers.
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 reflections on the windshield that you can hardly see. I am not sure what the substance is, however, I believe that breathing it may be a health hazard. 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 florida.
Noticed my dash board was getting to be a sticky mess I keep it cleaned and parked under my carport. Now it is like it is melting and my finger nail went through it. Also the dash gets shiny and makes a glare when I drive. I cant believe a car dash would do this. I think toyota needs to replace it before it gets worse and an accident it caused.

The dashboard is melting and has been for a couple of years. When I brought it into dealership, they said it was because of some cleaner that I used. Then I found out that many 2007 camry owners are having same problem and toyota refuses to admit that they have a defected product. I am 62 years old and have never had this happen to another vehicle - and I've had other toyotas . Why is there not a recall???????????????? The dealership try to pass it off as the consumers' fault when it is actually toyota's. What can I do?
Melting, sticky dash which causes a glare during daylight driving.
My 2007 camry's dashboard seems to be "melting." it is very sticky and reflects a glare on the windshield - making it hard to see. I am afraid it will eventually lead to an accident. I have heard of others having the same problem, so I know there must be a solution or a recall soon. Toyota changed dashboard material in 2009 (from what I heard on the news) so it makes me believe that they were aware of the issue... Please help!

This vehicle was purchased brand new at sterling mccall toyota, houston, texas in 2007. It has had only one owner and currently has approximately 148,00 miles. The concern on this vehicle is that the dashboard has melted within time, and sticky. This is in the area closest to the front windshield. With this being the case, the melted dash has become shiny in this area and causes an extreme inter glare. This causes a hazard with the driver during daylight driving hours. I have called multiple dealerships and informed them about the dashboard. All of the dealerships that I have contacted have told me that there are no recalls or technical service bulletins with this issue. I have researched the internet and have found a lot of complainants online with the same problem. Thank you concerned consumer
My dashboard is melting, very soft and sticky but most importantly is putting off some odor that could be dangerous chemically. Appears that this is common in warm climates...such as florida. I am concerned that this could be toxic. Toyota has refused to repair and indicated replacement would be near $2500.

My 2007 camry has the melting dashboard. The dealership solution is to cover the problem with some type of carpet/rug. I want my dashboard replaced. I don't know what toxins I'm breathing as the dashboard melts. I have reported the problem to toyota corporate office.
The dashboard has a molten sticky appearance. It is extremely reflective and when in direct light (such as the sun) the glare is reflected onto the windshield. This causes a glare in the drivers eyes which is very dangerous whilst in motion. Other customers have described this phenomena as the "dashboard melting".

Vehicle dash has become very sticky. Noticed that there are now nicks missing from dash. Curious and concerned I began to examine them closer and feeling the areas where the nicks where. Shocked to feel the dash was very sticky and mushy. Never felt anything like this before in any vehicles I have ever owned, even vehicles years older than this (2007). I'm scared to clean or even touch for fear it may become stickier. Your hand literally sticks to the dash.
