| Description of the problem | The dashboard on my 2007 toyota camry is melting and is very sticky, especially during the summer months 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. It is not possible to clean dashboard at all. Everything sticks to it and if you touch it with your finger nail-sticky chunks come out..... The glare is awful and since both of my visors have broken off i cant use those to help... |
