general problems of the 2006 Toyota Avalon

Defective dash. This car has 48,305 miles and has almost always been garaged. It was purchased new in March of 2006. Recently, about July of 2013, when I first started noticing it, the complete dash of this car has become covered in a very sticky, shiny substance. No sealers, polishes or waxes have ever been applied to it, only cleaned with a damp rag. Not only is this Toyota defect affecting the value of this car it has become a safety issue. The glare the shine on the dash creates make it almost impossible to see out of the windshield. I have seen many other Toyota Avalon and camry owners complain of this defect. I believe Toyota should be held responsible for the replacement of these defective dashboards.

Toyota Avalon 2006 has a protruding piece cylinder in the mid-section of the trunk that has a cutout with an extremely sharp edge. It cut my finger when putting groceries in my trunk and my daughter's friend when removing luggage. This could be very serious for diabetics and caused significant cuts for both of us.
