| Description of the problem | The dashboard is starting to melt. It is causing a glare on the windshield due to the dash melting and becoming shinny. The dashboard is becoming so soft that you can leave finger prints or indents in it. I called the dealership (cramer toyota in venice fl) they told me that the warranty was only good for three years for the dash, recommended a dash cover. They didn't seem to acknowledge the problem but i have done some research and have seen more and more complaints about the 2007-2009 camry models across the country melting. |
