10 Structure problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2011

Dash started to get sticky and whatever I tried to clean it with would end up sticking to it. Over time this has gotten much worse. Today , if you put your finger into the dash it will create an indentation and stay that way. I have been on the internet about this issue and a lot of Toyota owners seem to be having the same problem. It is time for me to purchase a new vehicle and im not sure if I should get another Toyota or go to a different vehicle. I have tried to sell my car out right and every dealer is taking at least $2000. 00 off of what the car is worth. Why has this problem not been recalled? it is obviously a manufacturers issue and should be repaired or replaced by Toyota. Im hoping that you will be able to help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.

2009 Toyota Camry - incidents happened before current acceleration hoopla. Twice to my wife, twice to me. When quickly applying brake , foot touches gas pedal and car accelerates. Never on any other car, including a 2005 Camry has this happened. I believe that the relation of both pedals to each other is too close. Also the design of both does not help. I drive autos, not design them, but I think this is more of a concern than floor mats. Thanks for your consideration. Bob willett.
