| Description of the problem | The dashboard seems to be disintegrating. The area on the front part of the dashboard (closest to the windshield) seems to be the worse, although the problem is spreading to the entire dash. It is sticky, tacky, shiny and gouges easily. This problem is creating a glare and is dangerous. The dash is basically melting. I worry about the function of the airbags. Is there documentation that states the safety of the airbag is not compromised? What about the windshield? Toyota needs to fix this problem. |
