| Description of the problem | The dashboard on my 2007 toyota camry is melting and is very sticky, especially during the summer months. I've notice this issue several years ago but didn't pay to much attention to it, other then it's difficult to clean and sticky. I received a warranty enhancement notification - ze6 from toyota motor sales regarding this issue earlier this year april 2015. I've call the local dealership where i bought the car originally and inquire about this recall notice & was told that the dashboard would be ordered & once it came in i would be contacted, i never heard back from them, so i called again recently and express my safety concerns while driving on a sunny day with glare coming off the dashboard onto the windshield, the glare is very blinding if not wearing sunglasses. I was once again told by the service rep at the toyota dealership that there's nothing they can do until they receive the parts from the manufacture & that at this time there's no time frame for correcting this issue. I have read several posts regarding this very same issue and notice that no one has had this issue corrected by toyota for free, obviously this is a vehicle manufacture defect that toyota needs to deal with before someone gets hurt. I purchased a toyota vehicle because of the reputation on quality & customer service, but until now i've not seen either of these. Toyota needs to stand behind their product & make it right for all affected consumers. |
