| Description of the problem | My toyota camry has a problem with the dashboard. Its melted and is sticky has a very high shine in the sunlight. At times occludes my vision for safe driving and i feel is very unsafe. Obviously it should be a recall before i have an accident. I contacted a dealer when they were doing a marketing survey which specifically asked if our car has dashboard melting issues. When i called they said the dealer would pay for the part (@ $1000) and i would have to pay for the install @ another $1000. That is too much money (which i don't have) and if they are admitting it is a material fault, then they should do a recall and pay 100% before someone gets killed. Can you help? I need your help. I really like my car, but it is dangerous. |
