| Description of the problem | Complaint regarding sticky, shiny dashboard. I just purchased a 2006 toyota solara. Complaint is about the dashboard. (1) the stickyness of the dashboard - holds dust and grime and can not be cleaned, and (2) the sticky surface results in a shiny/reflective creating a safety hazard as it reflects glare both day and night on the windshield. This is a health and safety issue. I bought in oct 2017 and immediately took it to the toyota dealership near me. I was told due to the car manufacture date, i was not able to take advantage of the recall of the dashboard from toyota. I am told the dashboard part is $1,800 - wow! This is a health & safety issue and i demand my dashboard be replaced at no charge to me. |
