| Description of the problem | The dashboard of my car becomes sticky and shine on the eyes during hot sunny days. I received a letter from toyota that it will be covered by warranty till 10 years but for my vehicle the warranty had expired. When i called toyota they say that is a regular wear and tear and since the warranty had expired they will not cover it. This is a manufacturing defect that causes a safely issue due to the glaring effect while driving on hot sunny days. This should be more of a recall than a regular wear and tare, i have not experienced this issue with my other car that is older than my toyota sienna. |
