Body problems of the 2007 Toyota Camry - part 2

Dash is melting especially in hot weather.

Made a 90 degree turn to park car, car rapidly accelerated and crashed into a wall within 25 feet of turning causing auto body damage. Data recorder report pulled from third party shows last five seconds before impact and recorded within . 3 milliseconds rpb went from 400 to 2000 and speed went from 3. 7 mph to 9. 9 mph. Toyota wrote back and said nothing was wrong with car. If you review crash site and distance car turned to the building, it is impossible to accelerate that quickly in that short of distance. Vehicle was in motion on a city street turning into a private parking lot.

I was driving into my garage and had just braked to let it ease in. My foot was still on the brake, when the car suddenly revved and lunged forward. The brake would not work, and it was as if the car had a mind of its own. It hit the crate that was in front of the wall, and forced a bike rack through the wall. The front bumper of my car was cracked in places. The car then stopped. So scary! I immediately called my dealership and was told they could not talk to me. I needed to call the corporation, which I did. After two months of waiting on a decision, I was told there is nothing wrong with my car, and that's that. I have since learned that there have been other incidents with Toyotas just like mine. I am petrified to drive the car, and yet I am also afraid to pass it on to someone else. I don't want anyone hurt. I have called Toyota, and they do not return my calls I am wondering what I can do.

My daughter was driving our Camry to work on dry city pavement. She was going through an intersection (her light was green) when she was hit by a Cadillac escalade. The impact was hard enough it spun her around on a dry city street and made the car jump a curb. The escalade ran a red light. The side impact air bags did not deploy. Toyota said they behaved as expected.

Dashboard is sticky to the touch and has a shiny appearance making it difficult to see due to the reflection from the sun created by the dashboard in the windshield. Dashboard appears to be melting.

My dashboard is sticky and shiny you can make a mark in the dashboard with your finger tip.

My 07 Camry runs completely out of oil before it's time for it to be changed. I have had the car checked for oil leaks and has passed each time. After researching this issue I have found that the more miles on the car the faster it runs the oil out and with that being said I now have engine damage. Not to mention this car has been the absolute worst. I put my visors down one time and had to take them off because they wouldn't go back up. The power controls in my car don't work. I also found out tonight that there was a recall on the gas pedal in this death trap that happened before I owned it that I was never informed of but knew something had to be wrong with it because it kept sticking!! I am not the only person dealing with this and find it outrageous that it has not been fixed. My children used to ride in that car!! it is a ticking time bomb and something needs to be done about this!!!!!!!.

Takata recall. My dashboard is soft and get softer. It getting sticky. The worst thing is the glare that comes off it is blinding. I have almost have accentdents becouse of this. Once the sun hit you real can not see. This is one thing toyoda must replace. I know if I get into an accentdent that's I first thing I will do, get a lawyer. In fact I have been told from one the it in pairs you so much that you get in a accentdent we can go after toyoda of not recalling a part that has a safety concern. It is so soft you nail just its it and makes a dent. I don't show in a pic but by the glove box there is a piece that ever rubs off. It is as thin as one coat of paint on the glove box. Every what what the so called dash is very cheap rudder that melts, easy the damage, can not clean it or anything. I love toyoda but this dash will make my buy something else, it's a pain in the ass.

The dashboard of the Camry becomes tacky and very shiny due to deteriation from sunlight. This shiny finish causes dangerous glare against the windshield while driving. The tackiness prevents the dashboard from being cleaned properly to prevent reflections as well.

I purchased my 2007 Toyota Camry xle in may 2006 (the VIN plate shows it was made in kentucky). 2007 was a new body style. The Camry had a tach weld defect in the right rear fender well. Originally the dealer told me it was my rear grab handle shaking. I knew it wasn't. Having no other recourse, I called Toyota corporate. They flew in 2 tech service engineers from CA to my state, and with the dealer, they discovered that there was a faulty (or no) tach weld in the rr fender well causing the frame of the body to strike together. The car was sent to a welding shop and the defect was repaired. It's now September 2015 and about a month ago I began to hear the "tink tink" sound again- indicating the same, or another, faulty tach weld. I have called Toyota corporate again (just now), and am waiting for a response. Since this is essentially the frame of the car, I'm very concerned. (additionally I had extensive issues with this car but unless I constantly returned it to the dealer/shop I couldn't meet the lemon law threshold in my state. For example, water poured out of the driver's side visor. The dealer said it was leaves in the a pillar. I park my car in a garage. ).

Dashboard creates a very shiny surface making it hard to properly see the road. It looks like it is melting. When I touch it, it sticks. It is very dangerous while I drive. I live in florida so I had to put a dashboard cover which still doesn stay fixed.

Driving at normal speed my headlights would go out by themselves. To get them on again I would have to turn the switch on and off. I was stopped twic by state trooper and given a warning.

The dashboard is sticky and on a sunny day is hard to see.

Dashboard melting and pitting.

I own a 2007 Toyota Camry and my dashboard is all sticky and shiny. . . Tried to go to the dealer. . . And dealer claimed it's not a recall. . . All the dust, dirt and debris from the outside has stuck (harbored) right onto my sticky dashboard, I have tried unsuccessfully to clean it but all elements gets stuck onto dashboard. . . . With all this being said, I believe this has caused some breathing issues for me when I drive. (I have severe allergies). . . So yes in this case, it certainly warrants a health and safety concern. I would like to escalate this issue. Thanks,.

I have 2007 Toyota Camry ce. A couple of years ago I noticed that my dashboard was getting sticky, gummy and disintegrating. I have almost 110,000 miles on it. I want Toyota to fix this manufacturing defect since its getting very difficult to drive on a sunny day.

The dashboard on my Toyota Camry is very sticky and shiny and it reflects a shiny shadow when the sun or night lights hit it. It causes a reflection and it makes it hard to see while driving.

Melts in the sun so. Soft a fingernail will damage it with just a simple brush. Cannot clean because of how soft it gets. Creates a glare which causes blindspots.

Dashboard shine reflect the sun.

My dashboard is melting. It's become extremely sticky and shiny. Even when I try to wash it, it continues to secrete a slimy sticky film. The plastic is failing. Toyota wants over 2000 dollars to replace it. It's dangerous because it's so terribly shiny. I bought it new in 2007.

Dashboard becomes sticky and disintegrating, easily breaks apart and scratches. Car has been kept in carport for the entire life of car.

My 2007 solara has a very sticky dash to the point that if I have any paper on it, I have to peel it off the dash with pieces still stuck on the dash. It is so shiny and produces so much glare that I have to wear uv sunglasses when driving. This is terrible. The amount of cracks are "growing" on the dash. This was very noticable over a year ago, but I didnt understand the extent until I took it to my Toyota service and he told me it was a common problem. It was reported on 10/10 & the Toyota service dept came back & told me that the car was out of warranty and they refused to do anything. I can tell you that this is my fifth Toyota, including a 98 Camry that I still own and none of them ever had this problem. I am extremely disatisfied that Toyota will now repair this potential hazard and am filing this complaint, as I now realize I am not the only one with this problem.

I called Toyota dealer and told them, they took pictures and acknowledged defective parts. I was told it would cost me $250. 00 for labor as the new dash would cost them $1500. 00, I argued this was unacceptable and unfair that I would have to pay being their fault.

I was parking my car and when I went to stop car and turn it off, I experienced unexpected acceleration. Car jumped the curb and crashed into the concrete barrier of the parking garage.

Melting dashboards become sticky, shiny and cracked. You can see where I've accidentally nicked it and the thing comes off. It's very hard to drive when you're blinded by glare and you don't see a big portion of the road. It's just melting more and more every day. I have kids, is not safe, I am sure is toxic and is not only melting but also breaking and my kids can eat it.
