| Description of the problem | I have a toyota camry 2008. I reported that the dashboard was sticky when i went for my 32,000 mile check up. The dealer rep. Said," oh don't worry about it, i'm sure there will be a recall because we are seeing it on lots of cars. My daughter in law had the same problem on her 2007 model. Both of ours were gray in color. Several years later and no recall and a disgusting dash board. It is so melted that in florida with our high bug count, i have to pull bugs and wings out with a tweezer when winter rolls around. The dashboard gets a little less soft in the cold weather, but is still sticky and cannot be cleaned. If anything happens to land on the dashboard, a floating piece of paper, a box in the front seat that falls forward and it either sticks or takes a gouge out of the dashboard. |
