| Description of the problem | Car has always been garage kept and use windshield cover when located outside. Noticed the dash was very sticky and shiny after the car had been sitting outside. Called the dealer to ask about the problem. They said that they knew of the problem but that my car was no longer covered by warranty or by the warranty extension. They recommended that i file a complaint with toyota corporate. I filed a complaint with toyota who said they would investigate. I got a call today stating that they would not cover the vehicle. Don'y know why they won't fix it since it is a known manufacturer's defect. They glare off the dash is so bad that it is difficult to see when driving. It's a real safety concern. |
