I live in s. Florida, and over the past year, I've noticed that my dashboard is melting faster and faster everyday. It also is very shiny in the worst areas and is very sticky. If I touch it, the black gummy/gooey surface comes off on my finger. Previously, I have not used any products to clean it other than a damp cloth (with water only). Of course, now I can't clean it. I don't know what to do, as I can't afford to replace it. I believe the manufacturer is responsible for replacing it as they sold a defective product. I've lived here for more than 25 years and have never experienced this with any other car I've owned, some of which were many years older that my current 4-year-old toyota camry. In addition, when driving at more than 60 MPH on the highway, the steering wheel shakes when I apply the brakes even slightly, and the car vibrates. I've had it checked twice by a toyota dealership and they claim everything is fine and it's just the anti lock brake system functioning. However, this continues to happen. It feels unsafe to me, and I don't buy their explanation. After googling the problem, there seems to be others with this problem on the same car. It has been suggested that the rotor is too small for the increased camry size and thus becomes warped. This also should be examined and replaced free of cost by the manufacturer if this is the cause. In any case, toyota should be forced to look into these problems and solve them with no cost to the owners. Many of us no longer have warranties.
2010 Toyota Camry body complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 64 of 64, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a sticky dashboard. Besides putting a very shiny reflection on my windshield, it has become very weak to the point that even a tap with my fingernail removes pieces off. It is very concerning. When I questioned toyota years ago they were willing to change it at no labor cost but I would have to buy the piece. This is a safety issue and should be recalled.
Dash-board is like liquid wax. I had a piece of paper on dashboard went to pick up and my fingernail took a chunk out of the dashboard. I tried to vacuum the dust on it but nothing picked up, because dust was stuck fast and vacuum was leaving permanent lines on the dash. Extremely sticky to the touch and looks terrible with all the dirt stuck fast.
Dashboard has become sticky causing glare on window impairing drivers ability to see properly.
The dashboard is melting, sticky like glue. It started in a small area, now it's the whole dashboard. It is getting pitted, can't even wipe it clean.
The dashboard of my 2010 camry is melting, is so sticky.
For about a little over a year now, the dashboard on my toyota camry has reacted very oddly to the heat it endures. The dashboard looks like it melts when its hot outside then becomes very sticky. It looks terrible. If you touch it, it feels like glue. The dashboard gets so slimy that if you actually puncture it with a fingernail, the material of the dashboard gets under your nail. I have only had my vehicle for four years and I am very disappointed with toyota.
In summer of 2012 my dash started melting I attempted to clean it and was unable to no matter what products were recommended in handbook as time went on it only got worse it is so sticky that everything sticks to it and now it looks terrible im completely embarrassed to let anyone in my vehicle if I try and trade it or sell it the damage decreases the value of the vehicle and toyota refuses to take responsibility for their mistake I feel victim to toyota I have been a faithful customer for many years this is my last toyota purchase.
Dash turned sticky upon cleaning and when the car is turned into the sun there is a dangerous glare reflected on the wind shield. It gets difficult to see traffic in front so I would consider it a hazard I feel toyota is responsible and should fix the problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the sun visor fractured causing the contact's vision to become impaired. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
The vehicle was stopped at an intersection attempting to make a left hand turn. The car was hit in the side front from the tires forward so the fluids and bumper were destroyed. Driver did hit the dashboard and no airbags deployed from the side curtain airbags or the front airbags. No airbags were ever deployed to protect the driver. When this car was purchased it was because of the safety of the airbags...which were no help in this accident.
On april 19, 2014 I purchased the above referenced vehicle, a 2010 toyota camry se from prince toyota dealership in tifton, georgia. This vehicle was four years old and had less than 10,000 miles at the time of my purchase. Needless to say, it was in immaculate condition from its previous one owner. However, when I returned home to rome, georgia on april 20th, 2014 I noticed a type of ?stickiness? To the dash board area. I drove my vehicle to work and on that tuesday, april 22nd, my supervisor, chief probation officer [xxx] wanted to look at my new car. I showed him my vehicle and also pointed out the stickiness on the dash board. Both he and I assumed that someone spilled something on it. The stickiness was located on both the passenger and driver side of the dashboard. On april 27th, 2014 I drove my vehicle on a trip to south florida to see my sister graduate college. When I returned, on may 5th I took my car to have it washed and clean the inside. While wiping off the dashboard I noticed the stickiness again and my fingernail swiped across the dash and left a gash in the dashboard. I do not have long nails. I then began to feel around on the dashboard and noticed the entire dashboard was soft and could be easily destroyed. I then knew that this was not something someone had spilled on the dash and realized this is a defective dash board. I began to research it and found article after article online where other people were reporting the same problem. It has been named a ?melting dashboard?. This has occurred in other auto dealer's vehicles as well as toyota's. I have also found that other dealers have replaced the dash boards and have called them defective.
While going down the street and braking at around 15 MPH I noticed a creaking noise. The noise continued while braking, and going over railroad tracks and uneven pavements. I took my vehicle to the toyota dealer in town to have the problem checked out. They found out that the body structure was messed up. The (a-pillar) was not connected to the main frame. They told me there was nothing they could do about the problem, that I would have to take it to a body shop to be welded, they also said and gave me paperwork saying it was a defect in the 2007-2011 toyota models.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated the vehicle trunk was defective since it would unlocked independently. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 22,000.
Since the past 60 days there has been a popping, creaking and metal flexing noise emanating from the roof panel especially pronounced when crossing over any uneven pavement surface, the noise began at 40,000 miles, 4000 miles after the manufacturer warranty expired, my research shows that this is an inherent problem with several toyota models especially the camry and has been evident since model year 2007 with sun/moon roof installations, on contacting the dealership I was informed that they are aware of the problem and is almost always related to the sunroof frame/guide rails/insulation and have repaired it on it numerous occasions all being under warranty since the warranty has expired on my vehicle I was directed to contact toyota customer service, on contacting toyota customer service I was refused any assistance and acknowledgement of the problem, per my research the problem has escalated in some cases to the sunroof shattering causing a major driving and health hazard and possible severe injuries from collisions and/or cuts from shattering glass. Toyota customer service refuses to admit there is a flaw in the design and assembly of vehicles equipped with sun/moon roof and refuse to remedy the problem by claiming expiration of warranty.

Rear window of a 2010 toyota camry with approximately 7800 miles (rental) exploded while at a complete stop in traffic. No sign of foreign object striking window. Two areas of glass failure were noted, roughly following the radius of the glass on either side in a vertical pattern as it bends to meet the rear pillars. The window remained intact (albeit shattered) long enough to record it on my iphone, clearly showing two areas of failure with gaps of 1/4-1.5 inches between the center (flatter) portion of the glass and the left and right sides where it bends to meet the rear pillars. The widow fell into the car as soon as I resumed movement on the street. The sound was like that of a gunshot, loud enough to draw a crown of pedestrians in the area who witnessed it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated while driving at 40 MPH, she noticed a rat crawl from under the passenger seat, into the glove compartment and into the air conditioning unit. The sight of the rat almost caused the contact to lose control of the vehicle. The contact was able to remove the rat from the vehicle. The dealer made repairs to the rear seat and seat belts, in which the rat had chewed through. The dealer also cleaned the air conditioning unit. The contact spoke with the dealer about possibly having a wire mesh installed over the air intake to prevent any future rodents from entering the vehicle. The dealer advised that although the failure was a common occurrence in her year, make and model, he would have to get authorization from the manufacturer to perform the repair. The contact was awaiting authorization from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 11,500 and the current was unknown.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry. The contact stated that the center, left side console below the gear shift would become extremely hot when driving the vehicle for more than 15 to 20 minutes. The dealer acknowledged the failure and advised it was a flaw in the design of the vehicle, but did not offer a remedy. The failure mileage was 0 and the current mileage was 20,000.
Purchased 2010 toyota camry in 12/10/09. Car/tire was wobbling, felt that alignment was out. I took vehicle to dealer on 12/21/09. I was told that one of the tires was off. Dealer service just rebalanced rear passenger tire and inflated well beyond required psi's. Car continued to wobble, and drive with a distortion in ride and have to hold steering wheel to the left to keep the car straight. Went back for service on 1/23/10. Again, service admitted radial pull. They rebalance the wheels, and realigned the car and that didn't correct the problem. Dealer put 4 new tires and realigned. Problem continued. Car is not sitting on the frame properly but service will not admit it. Took car to service again on 2/13/10. Again a 4 wheel alignment was performed and didn't fix the problem. Took to service again 3/8/10 complained that car isn't driving properly, I have to hold my steering wheel a certain way to keep the car driving straight. Went for a test drive due to the distortion, wobbling of car and was told that toyota tires roll from left to right. Incredible! The car accelerates when coming to a stop and steering wheel is turned to the left to go straight. One side of the car is higher than the other. When I asked what was done to the car, I was told that they made some adjustments and was dismissed. People driving behind me flash their lights at me and I've been stopped and told that my car is crooked . I can feel it and see the same thing. Service inflated my tires to over 42psi's. That's too much air. This car is still drifting to the right or left depending upon which way the tires are moving from "left to right", in which I was told this is a toyota thing. Insulting! I feel this was done in order to mask whatever the real problem is. I traded a 2004 camry that had the same issues. I had over 30 alignments, 4 brake jobs, a steering shaft replaced and 4 sets of tires in 4 yrs. I have documentation on that car. This car is doing the same thing. Feel unsafe.
I am requesting that dot the federal safety agency investigate the driver's contribution to unintended acceleration (ua) and toyota's accelerator/brake pedal designs that make it possible. I was driving a rented toyota camry in a parking lot. I applied the brake and instead of slowing down the vehicle began to gain speed. I pressed harder on the brake and it accelerated. The harder I tried to stop the car the faster it went. I took my foot off the brake for a moment and the vehicle stopped accelerating. I believe that my foot was on both the brake and the accelerator pedals. I measured the distance between the brake and the accelerator and found that it was only 1.5 inches. My vehicle a gm acadia is 2.5 inches. This made me think that the tops of the two pedals are too close together. I managed to find 6 different toyota models including the prius and they averaged 1.5 inches between the tops of the brake and the accelerator pedals. I measure competitive vehicles and found they averaged 2.2 inches. Something is wrong with the toyota designs ' they are too close together. I have continued to investigate unintended acceleration and have collected a significant amount of data that supports the fact that the driver is a major cause of ua and that some vehicle designs make it possible. I have conducted driving tests and simulated the conditions that cause ua. They clearly identify that toyota pedal designs contribute to the driver being a cause of ua. Good vehicle pedal designs make it very difficult to simultaneously and unintentionally depress both pedals. From the odi incident reports gm vehicles seem to be particularly insensitive while the ford 150 truck seems to have a large number of complaints. There must be something in the pedal designs or operation that makes this possible. I have read two older dot reports concerning ua and they indicate that the driver is a cause of ua. Why is that not studied and acknowledged now? Please formally investigate.
I bought 2010 camry couple of months ago and hear a heavy wind noise from the passenger side. I am told by toyota rep that it is a design issue and there is nothing can be done. Both left and right sides and front of the car is identical. If it was a design issue then why noise on right side only. Not sure if something going to let loose. Can you please help addressing this problem with toyota. Already there are numerous problems such as accelerator pedal, brakes and so forth. Thank you for your kind attention.
My complaint is that where my cruise control is at 5' o'clock steering wheel it reset is up and hit my leg causing the car to run up with out me knowing why. This has happen twice.
