| Description of the problem | I purchased a 2010 toyota camry from a toyota dealer on march 27, 2010 in columbus, ohio. I noticed that the bottom left-hand corner of the gear shift panel becomes hot when the head lights are turned on. I took the vehicle into the dealer (that i purchased it from) to get it looked at on tuesday, april 20 and they checked the vehicle. I was told that this was a normal occurrence for 2010 toyota camry's and that they would not be able to fix the issue. I am concerned because the cause of this defect was not identified, the dealer was not able to fix it, and i don't know if this issue is an indication of something more serious that could develop into a serious safety hazard. Plus, this is a brand new 2010 vehicle. It was not pre-owned. I first noticed this issue when the mileage on my vehicle was between 500 and 1000 miles. I noticed this issue within the first 30 days of purchase before my temporary tags expired. If you have any questions or need any additional information, the best way to contact me is by the phone number provided. |
