| Description of the problem | I own a toyota camry 2008, and within the last 3-4 months i have noticed my dashboard is gooey and sticky i cant seem to clean it or get rid of the stickiness. I have called the toyota help center and they refused to help me or pay for any repairs. I explained to them how bad the damage is for only toyota to deny any responsibility. I have went to the toyota dealership in carson, california to get an estimate of $2,480. 75 for repairs. I would think toyota would make a recall and get this dashboard situation fixed. Now my dashboard is causing a glare on my drivers side to only make the situation worse while im driving on the road. The glare is sufficient to give me a blind spot. I need any help to get this fixed before an accident takes place due to toyota being irresponsible. |
