| Description of the problem | The melting dashboard is causing tremendous glare from sun causing a safety hazard. Toyota is aware and had a voluntary recall, but i did not get the letter. When i found out about the recall, i thought date of first use was when i began driving the car, it is not. The secondary coverage for 10 years after date of first use was 8/3/17. I called toyota on 11/17/17 and they said too late. I went to toyota and called corporate on 5-30-18, but they would do nothing. I use a sunshield and car is mostly garaged, but it is the texas heat causing it, and i can't stop it. I recently saw this problem on the news with nissan and toyota and how dangerous it is. This is why i am not filing this report. |
