5 Dashboard Crack problem of the 2006 Toyota Avalon

Failure Date: 01/02/2015

I have called Toyota in houston, TX several times about my melting and cracking dashboard. I was told this was normal wear and tear. My car is garaged, and only out for short amounts of driving time. On December 31, 2014, I saw on the national nbc news that there is a recall for the dashboard problems. I called Toyota this morning, Jan. 2, 2015, and was told they know nothing about a recall. I must have a letter for them to due recall work. I'd like to file this complaint, hoping my car, make and model will be added so that I receive a recall notice. Thank you.

Warranty enhancement notification -ze6 repairs related to cracked dash board. Toyota sent letter in December,2014 indicating parts for the replacement would be available by late spring. I've made two calls and was basically told to wait for another letter but was provided no input regarding a possible date. I have a feeling they hope the problem will disappear. What can I do to get satisfaction?.

11 Dashboard Crack problem of the 2007 Toyota Avalon

Failure Date: 05/13/2012

On or about may, 2012, my wife and I started to notice small cracks all over the dashboard! then within a couple of months the entre dashboard looked as it it were melting and I couldn't figure out why since the car has been garage kept since the day I bought it. Then the melting turned into a sheen, making it impossible to see without squinting and wearing sun glasses and putting the sun visors down so I waited a while and saw on the internet that it was a very serious problem so on 9-5-13 I called Toyotas hotline and was given a complaint number (1309050251) and told the they would not do anything since the car was out of warrantee. I explained the it was a serious safety problem and still nothing! I also went to lipton Toyota on 8-20-13 and spoke to the service director, nelson lopes, and explained the problem to him and he also took pictures to show to his representative. He called me back a couple of days later and told me that his boss wanted nothing to do with it but that he would split the cost with me and replace the dash board for $900 out of my pocket. I told him that the offer was outrageous, I explained that if it were my fault 100% I would pay the &1,800, if it were 50% my fault I would pay the $900, but since it was Toyota's fault 100% they should replace the dashboard at their expense. He told me forget it! (mr. Lopes phone # is 954-735-1330 ext 279) the location of the dealership is 1700 w. Oakland park blvd. Ft. Lauderdale, FL. 33311. . . .
