| Description of the problem | The auto was originally kept year round in minnesota. We have a place in alamo tx 2 years ago we drove the camry down to texas and flew back to minnesota. We left the car in a garage. The fall of 2020 is when we discovered we had a sticky dash. We called toyota in pharr tx they said there was a recall for this but the time had expired for us to get it fixed under the recall about 2 years age. Because the camry was in mn for the majority of its life, the problem wasn't discovered until the fall of 2020, 2 years after the rebate expired. The technition at pharr toyota says that heat and humidity caused the problem. Thus the heat and humidity in texas for 2 years brought this problem to light 2 years after the rebate expired. The dash is sticky and its a shiny reflective surface that relects light, hampering visability which is dangerous. We request toyota fix our dash. |
