| Description of the problem | Dash is sticky, melting, breaking down, and deteriorating since june 2017. No recall notice from toyota. I had no idea that they had a lawsuit because of this issue until i researched to see if others had same problem. I just thought it was from the heat until i wasn't able to clean it or remove the stickiness and it was getting worse by the day. Fearful to drive my car,as the dash has been compromised. Anything that touches it leaves an imprint or indention. Anything that touches it sticks to it. When your diving there is glare from the residue that has been broken down and since everything sticks to it and you can't clean it off that makes it hard to drive because of the glare. Toyota has replace several dashes, but hat about the ones that have broken down after there time frame has elapsed? Mine din't have any issues until after their time frame expired, so i'm i just out of luck and i'm supposed to repair their inferior product? I'm worried that if i were in an accident that the dash would just crumble and not protect my family or myself. I need help, i'm fearful to drive my car, but i have to since it's my only one. Shouldn't toyota have sent out a recall notice to everyone that was affected? |
