The dashboard on my 2008 Camry has become increasingly soft and sticky over the past year. It is sticky to the touch and feels like you are touching the back of some kind of tape. Everything sticks to it and it is extremely hard to clean. This problem has gotten worse over the course of calendar year 2014. My car does stay outside, so probably does get more sun than if it stayed in a garage; however, a dashboard should not start to melt just because a car has been out in the sun. I have put no type of cleaner on the dashboard except for maybe an occasional wipe down with armorall (a product that should not cause this situation). The more the dashboard melts and gets sticky, the more I have noticed a bright glare coming off of it, which I am concerned could cause some visibility issues while driving the car. I kept my previous Toyota for over 10 years, and never had an issue like this. I believe this is a defect with this model car and that Toyota should do the responsible thing and fix/correct this problem for people who are experiencing the same issue.
My sun visors on both sides have messed up and now have both been replaced. My cd player also started messing up earlier this year. It says there's a cd in, but there's not. You can't load a cd or eject it. The service center at the Toyota dealership told me they don't see anything jammed in there and that I would be better off replacing it with an aftermarket stereo system b/c it would be cheaper and they would have to send my car off to have it fixed. Hopefully, I'm not the only one experiencing this problem and a recall will be issued!.
The visor on my 2008 Toyota Camry broke. Up until now I had no issues with the car except that the cd player only works intermittently. Ended up having to take visor off; could not drive with it like that.
The cd player has problems loading the cd. Even though there is no cd in the drive - it keeps saying reading cd, not allowing the cd in. We had this problem only about 2years after purchasing the vehicle new.
