I have a 2009 toyota camry , after having it for three years the sun visors fell apart they started tearing apart literally.. Then they fell off on there own . I told the toyota dealership and was told the warranty or recall had just expired I don't remember which .. Also the headliner on my vehicle started dropping just as fast as my visors , this is my first vehicle and I am very disappointed on how it's coming apart.
Hello my dashboard is sticky and melted. Also my sunroof doesn't close all the way which causes rain to come in I purchased it like that.
Melting and sticky dash and I have not received a letter concerning this. There was a recall but I have yet to receive any information that will allow me to have it replaced

I cant give a definitve date when I noticed but I did notice it seemed to appear as if I had put a coat of conditioner on it, I assumed it was just a matter of the heat causing excess conditioner to leach out. I attempted to wipe it off and realized it was sticky and it was near the warranty expiration time. One cold moring I got in the car and realized no normal dashboard should look like that and pressed it with my fingernail and realized it was soft. I take my car in on fairly regular basis to a toyota dealer. Which is why I believe the service technicians saw the pattern of change and choose not to document it or say anything as it may involve a problem that would not involve profit for toyota or the dealership. My last trip was for a defect on the visor and I mentioned it to the service agent who choose not to make any comment which I noted as odd ( a typical action when management has instruced employees not to comment on a known problem). A month or so later I received a notice in the mail that they woul take care of the problem with a complimentary fix to the problem. The letter I received appears to be a stalling tactic to get customers to wait, not fix the problem and or seek reimbursement utill it's too late for redress. On my last visit I insisted they make note of the problem due to dangerous glare being reflected off the dashboard onto the windshield. I stated it was a grave safety issue. The letter stated they needed to acquire enouh parts to fix the cars and do no contact the dealer to wait for a notice to bring your car in. If I had an accident it would not take over six months to acquire the parts if I or the insurance company was paying for it. Believe me if ceo's of toyota or there loved ones were driving with this problem they would immediately fix the problem, they probably have and kept it off the record.

On my way to work and another driver just rammed his struck against my car his tired ended up on top of my car it was a hard hit and I even thought I had my seat belt I my airbags did it go off at all the impact was so hard and I would like to know why didn't my airbags deployed my question is do I have any airbags that really concerned me and would like toyota to look at my car as soon as possible in my opinion my airbags should have went off I was hit by a bigger veichle and I would like toyota to take reposability since I had witness that saw the accident and testified that I was not at fault if there is no airbags in my car it's new to me because when I went to buy the car the only thing high was the mage and I was promise that if anything went wrong with the car toyota will be responsible for it. I think that toyota took advantage and was trying to get rid of the car so I got the wrong end of the deal. If I find out I never had any air bag si should no be reponsie le to pay a die out of my pocket.

I have owned this car since new ,living in new jersey never a problem. Moved to florida and the dashboard seems to be melting .it is extremely sticky and shiny causing a glare on front windshield that makes it very hard to see when driving . I have tried to clean it with soap and water to reduce the glare and it doesn't seem to do anything .could you please tell me if there is any recall on this car.
In 2012, I started to notice the beginning of my dashboard melting on my 2009 camry. This has gotten progressively worse as time went on. The entire surface of the dashboard is sticky and shiny. I cannot even touch my dashboard without leaving a fingerprint. There is a puddle of melted dash closer to the windshield. My main concern is that the melted dashboard creates a glare when I am driving which is distracting and dangerous. Thank you.
My 2009 camry dashboard is melting. The leather console between seats has cracked.the electrical system keeps shorting out. All cigarette lighters/charger locations have shorted out including the aux. A week after buying my car the safety feature to lock place mat in place broke. Nearly causing a car wreck as the place mat lodged in between the gas and brake. The radio, location where speedometer, clock, and service lights locations are fogged up and getting worse daily. When I took my car to the dealership about the dashboard I was told,"it was my fault. Probably caused by a cleaning product." which I knew was entirely not true. Cigarette lighter covers have dry rot and broken, plastic/leather has dry rot under all 4 windows leaving scratch looking marks, dry rot paint by stick shift is peeling. Headlights fog up easily with water in them. I was in a car wreck a couple of years ago.when I was going about 10 MPH and a vehicle ran the red light hitting the right side of vehicles front area. They were going at least 45 MPH. No airbag deployed. Underneath front of car is a plastic piece that keeps falling down. Some days I am unable to take car out of park unless I turn the wheel,"hard". I have never received anything via mail about any recalls on my vehicle. I still live at the same address! Took car to dealer again about front passenger window and driver side window not being able to roll down or up windows. I had to pay quite a bit of money to have fixed. Passenger window switch is broken and still is just like drivers side was. Was told" it was most likely because someone tried to break into my car." which I knew was not the case. I am very disgusted and considering filing a lawsuit against toyota. I bought a lemon car! I keep my oil changes up to date, fluids, filters, etc.I have never felt so disappointed in a vehicle purchase in my life. I'd like a full refund.
The dashboard of my 2009 camry is melting. It creates a dangerous, blinding glare. I am concerned that is will cause an accident. I have called my local dealer and was told that there has not been any recalls of the dashboard. It is very sticky and cannot be cleaned with anything as paper sticks to it when wiped. This is truly a safety issue. There are several issues with the dashboard that need to be addressed and quickly. Please investigate these issues and recall the dashboards to help save lives.
The dashboard on the vehicle started melting and peeling. If touched the plastic on the dashboard will come off.
The car was purchased new in 2008. I lived in ga from 2008-2012 and moved to tx in 2012. I did not experience dash issues while living in ga. I first noticed my dashboard was "sticky" when trying to remove a parking voucher from the dash area. The voucher was stuck to the dash and other areas of the dash were sticky to the touch. I tried removing pieces of the voucher and noticed the "stickiness" of the dashboard was coming off onto my hands. The stickiness has worsened to the point that whenever the dash is touched the sticky residue is transferred onto hands and fingerprints are left behind. The dashboard seems to be melting and touching the surface creates "gouges" in the dash. The area where the voucher was placed and removed is worn and has lost its texture. The increased stickiness makes the dash shiny and a glare is present when driving. The sticky/melting dash is a result of dash material defects which should be replaced by toyota free of charge.

Toyota camry 2009. When dash heats up it starts shining and cause glare on windshield, it causes obstructive vision to the driver's visibility of the roadway. In addition, the material on the dashboard would become very sticky as if it were melting.
From the start of this year I have realized that my dashboard seems to be melting. Its sticky and shiny and the shininess becomes distracting. I cant wipe it much because particles will stick to it. Toyota is stating I must pay for a new dashboard but I feel that isn't fair due to a defect with the car dashboard. I live in the us virgin islands and temperatures are always hot. I have owned a few cars and been in all my family members cars and have never experienced a melting dashboard.
Toyota camry 2009, bought car 2 years ago. Every summer dash heats up start melting and cause glare on windshield needs to be fixed, cause obstructive vision and excessive heat almost unbearable. In summer very sticky to the touch no accidents as of yet but concerned with the over heating and cating fire. Bf updated 8/17/2015
Sticky dashboard provides glare. This causes distraction and glare. Because of stickiness, I can't mount my GPS and that forces me to keep looking down and not pay attention to road. I had many close calls and toyota would not fix this issue. I never have this problem in my 2004 camry. It seems this is a manufacturing issue.
The dashboard gets real soft and sticky when the sun hits it. It makes a glare and causes distraction while driving. This could also affect airbag operation.
The dash is very soft and cracking. It is very shining and gives off a glare which makes it difficult to see. No commercial products have been used on it. The dealer in bradenton fl says they don't know what is wrong with it and I could replace it for about 2200.00 dollars as it is not under warranty. While searching the web for a solution I came across many others who have this problem. My husbands 2006 tacoma does not have this issue, in addition, the newer models all redesigned dashes. Toyota needs to stand behind their product and replace the dash. It takes away from the resale value.
The dashboard of my toyota camry 2009 has become very sticky. I have tried to clean it but cannot remove whatever is making it sticky. This became noticeable about 5 months ago. While searching the internet for a product to clean the dashboard, I have only found multiple complaints concerning dashboard sticky and melting problems from other toyota camry owners. I reside in florida, which is one of the states with the majority of complaints are coming from. Some owners report that the dashboard is causing extreme glare coming from their sticky dashboard making visibility an issue. During the summer months I use a windshield cover in my car and have had all of the windows tinted to cut down on the heat in the car.
Beginning in summer 2014, the 2009 toyota camry le dashboard has gradually become very shiny. The shininess now produces a glare on the windshield and makes it difficult to see through the windshield at times. In addition, the shiny area of the dashboard has become increasingly sticky with a tacky feel to it. No commercial products have been used to clean the windshield, and car is under cover the majority of the time.
