| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 toyota camry that has the melting dashboard. I complained about it many times starting in september of 2012. They told me it was my fault. Something i used on dashboard. (cleaning product). I knew i had not and insisted mid last year that they take pictures and submit to have it fixed. I did not get a response. Last month august, 2014 8 on your side aired the story on melting dashboards. I called toyota again and they said they were sorry no one got back to me. They said they had the complaint on file, but could not explain why i got no response. A few days later they said they would fix it for just under $800. 00. I feel this is a manufacturer problem and think it should be a recall. The glare it causes off the windshield makes if dangerous to drive. Also melting plastic may not be good for the air quality. Thank you i was in contact with clearwater toyota. They said i had 90 days to accept or deny their offer. |
