| Description of the problem | About a year to year and a half after purchasing my camry the dashboard started becoming sticky and causing a horrible glare on the windshield. Every time i brought it into the dealership i was told it was a manufacturer's defect but they would not take care of it and that it would cost me over $2000. 00 to fix it. Even when i switched dealerships i was told the same thing. Now if it is a manufacturer's defect why is it my responsibility to pay to have it replaced? The glare during the summer in florida is really bad. The glare has been so bad that i have almost had a few accidents because of it. I used to swear by toyotas but now i don't think i would ever by one again after this. |
