The driver seat has a tear in it and there are only 120,000 miles on the car. It torn on a crack in the leather on the seat. Also - the dash has cracks all through it but we heard that there was a recall on it. Is that true? the dash surface is sticky and hard to clean.

Driver's side sun visor became loose and will not stay up. Fell down into view when driving. Visor finally fell off the swing arm and it is due to a cracked/separated plastic housing within the visor that the swing arm inserts into.

The vehicle overheated and stalled, I steered it to the roadside to call for a tow. Speaking with insurance tow service the car started to smoke from the front passenger side under the hood. As I supplied information the smoke volume increased from the front passenger side under the hood. Smoke volume continued to increase and a crackling/burning sound started. I told the agent I have to go and called 911. I supplied details of the area where the increasing smoke was coming from, the car location and my status. In the car I pulled the hood lever, went outside and stopped short of opening the hood. Realizing I had no means to put out the increasing fire I had to watch my car burn until firefighters arrived. I walk a distance away and waited, while the whole engine compartment went up in smoke.

Opened the sun roof while driving in the city, a loud horrific noise occurred above my head unexpectantly, it cause me to swerve. I pulled over to the side of the road, as I initially thought something had hit my car, and no that the sun roof had decided to fail. The sun roof broke off in part, leaving the right side dipped into the frame rail. When I tried to just close it to get back on track, then you could hear the motor or mechanics of the sunroof churning. The sunroof was able to be closed complete enough not to get rained on but that is all. Having spoke to a few dealerships/shops over the phone. I am being quoted anywhere from 2000. 00 to 4000. 00 to fix --- this is an expensive problem and the problem is with the mechanics of the sun roof. I seldom open my roof here in rainy seattle. Now, it's guaranteed not to open ever again, as I will opt to have the sun roof sealed and disconnect the mechanics to open it. All this on top of air bag issue. The air bag on the passenger front right side is separating from the dashboard console, I called burien Toyota in the seattle area, the receptionist for service looked up my VIN and told me my VIN is not on the list of affected airbags. I assured her whether or not my VIN is on the list --- there is an airbag issue with the unit. My goodness must another person die behind these faulty airbags.

Toyota did a recall on the dash of the cars getting sticky and cracking. They indicated they were replacing all of these affected. This notice came to me in 2015. I was told by the dealer, autoway Toyota in clearwater, FL. That I was 96 on the replacement list with them. I just called one year later to check status and they said I was #89. They indicated they only get a few replacement dashes a week and they could give me no answer how much longer it would be. Keep in mind you cannot sell or trade the car given the cracked dash. I called Toyota and they said they were only producing a few new dashes per day and that they had over 1 mill. Claims. I don't feel this is acceptable and I wondered if you could help or whether I should write to the attorney general.

Cracking and melting dashboard. Toyota put out an extended warranty to cover the replacement. The problem I have. . . I received the first letter stating the problem, but it stated a second letter will be sent, with notification when the parts will be available, I never received the second letter. As time went by, I forgot about going to a dealer rather than wait for the letter. A big mistake, I learned today Dec 22, 2017, the deadline was may 31, 2017. The problem does exist, so why, because I never followed up on a letter I never received, be rejected. I called Toyota and was given a complaint # 1712221373, but was also told, because of the missed deadline, there was nothing they could do. I seek further help.

The dashboard has become gummy and cracking causing a bright glare that makes it impossible to drive on bright sunny days. Last week I was crossing over a bridge and almost went over the side.

When I brought in my 2007 Toyota Camry solara convertible for a faulty low tire pressure sensor, another problem was detected. I asked to see the issue while the car was up on the lift. I could observe what looked like a shredding/damaged rack and pinion power steering boot with fluid visible. The first dealer written estimate says "replace power steering rack and pinion (found power steering fluid leaking into boot of rack and pinion)" for $1354. 88, plus 4-wheel alignment for $160. 95. The second dealership service department recommended replacing one rack and pinion boot and that power steering fluid gasket, for $594. 58 plus a $99 alignment, which I did. The dealer checked and there has not yet been a recall for this issue, but I checked online and there are multiple complaints for the same/similar issue. I am very concerned about the safety of my power steering system, whether the other gasket will leak or the system fail while driving.

Driving 55 mph on expressway when the glass moon roof exploded. There was no object hitting it. After stopping to inspect the damage, the glass looked as if it was slightly pushed upwards around the hole. The entire glass area was cracked, there was a hole about 12" x 5" in center.

My solara has a dashboard that is cracked and is melting. The glare is terrible from this.

Noticed 6 long cracks across top and front of dashboard and a gummy sticky feel to the entire dashboard.

The dashboard is severely cracked on both the passenger side and driver side. The cracks have been repaired, but then have re-opened again. They are unsightly and I have further concerns that they may interfere with electrical functions and other parts under the dashboard should the cracks continue to grow. I have additional concerns that the cracks may result in air bag deployment issues. The cracks have been evident since approximately 2006.

I have been the one and only owner of a 2006 Toyota solara convertible sle that has been garage kept most of its life. Dashboard appears to be "melting" - has numerous cracks and is very sticky. The glare of the shiny sticky dashboard is distracting and a visual hazard. Have tried several products in an attempt to clean/unsticky the dashboard. Dealerships have stated that this is a result of intense daytime heat, and not a manufacturers defect. Several other Camry owners have stated the same complaint.

The dash is melting and cracking all over the entire dash.

2009 Toyota Camry se driver side top of dashboard melting making a crack about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. It looks like a patch on the dashboard compared to approximately the size of an adult hand. The melting area gets worst with the heat and lifting up with an uneven bump on the dashboard. Note: vehicle was not involved on any accidents 9/30/2014.

I own a 2006 Toyota solara. Low mileage. My entire dash board is cracking apart fore some unknown reason. The surface is becoming gummy and shiny. Interferes with visiblility when driving. I took the vehicle to Toyota and they said it had to do with the material used. They would have to replace the dash. This is absurd. I have seen almost 100 similar complaints on the internet. They need to recall and make good on a defaulty dashboard that is hazardous.

Visor came loose and would not stay up. . . . . Fell down blocking my view to drive. Tried to push it to the side and came off the bracket in the roof.

A little over a year after I purchased the vehicle new, I noticed a small crack in the dashboard and stickiness of the dashboard. I asked at hollywood Toyota and got no satisfaction and think I called the 800 number too. Over the years, one half of the entire dashboard has become very noticeably cracked and damaged and now the covering at the bottom of the windows is peeling off the doors. The rest of the interior looks pristine. The dashboard cracked in my previous Camry too but not to this degree; to add insult to injury, Toyota paid me $1000 less that I would have gotten for the turn-in price because of the dashboard of the old Camry car when I sold it back to them when I bought my current solara in 2004. At least a dozen people have come up to me and told me they also experienced similar problems with their solaras. One person said they had 2 solaras; one kept in the garage and on the street, and both dashboards cracked. I have made an effort all the time to cover the windshield from the sun inside but it hasn't helped. I hope Toyota issues a recall, as I think they should.

Vehicle (now with 98,532 miles) has a "sticky" dashboard caused by the breakdown of the materials composing the dashboard. Breakdown of materials has caused the dashboard to have a glare. The glare presents a safety problem. The material breakdown of the dashboard is believed to ultimately lead to a cracking of the dashboard which may also cause interference with operation of the air bag.

I have loved my Toyota solara except for one major issue. A few years ago the dashboard became sticky and gummy. Everything sticks to it and it is very soft to the touch. It is totally melting and the dashboard has changed to a shiny surface. The bright and shiny dashboard creates a huge glare on the windshield right in my line of vision. Lastly, the dashboard has begun cracking. . . First crack appeared between the audio/radio system and the glove box a few weeks ago.

I purchased my car new and have done all the servicing required. My car has been garaged and I work from home. The dashboard started cracking and if you scratch it with your fingernail, it peels off! it has progressively been getting worse and I am fearing it is affecting other parts of the car. It literally seems like it is falling apart. I think there is something seriously wrong here and think it should be investigated and recalled.

The dashboard is sticky like it is melting. The sticky stuff on the dashboard creates a glare when the sun hits it at certain angles. Also, the dashboard has cracked and I am concerned this will affect the functioning of the air bags.

The dash is sticky and seems to be melting. You can touch it and it will leave an impression. A couple of cracks have also developed. This car is not that old. I am concerned about the safety of the airbags due to the breakdown of the dash. I also did not pay the price I did for an automobile that would look like this after only 6 years. I called the dealership and they said it would be about $1500 to replace the dash. I don't believe I should have to pay for this. There should be a recall.

I just purchased this 2007 Camry from a car dealership . Very nice car low miles well taken care of. I checked the car out very well I thought . These cars bring a premium price. While test driving noticed dash cover lifted it up looked for cracks looked fine. Later on that day bought car . While waiting for someone to drive my other vehicle home thought didn't like dash cover and decided to take it off. Mistake! dash was so sticky like you spray adhesive on it . The dash cover has small velcro strips on stuck to dash which while attempting to remove took piece of dash with it. Went into dealership explained situation to sales rep and they fixed hole. Asked why dash sticky he did not know. On a hot sunny day better have dark sunglasses on for the glare from dash is a distraction. Dash puts off a odor when hot and sticky. I put cover back on dash it helps some. I should of did more research on 2007 Camry because a lot of people are having same issue. There is no solution other than a new dash which Toyota so far will not pay for. Toyota needs to save their reputation because I will never buy another Toyota !.

I recently bought this car from a friend. Did not realize until after I purchased the car that the dashboard is a lot worse than I thought. It is gummy and cracked all over. I bought the car because the exterior looks great and it runs like new, but the dashboard now appears to be a real problem. It will be expensive and how do I know the same thing will not happen to the new one. I along with hundreds and soon to be thousands of people who feel Toyota should do something about this issue. It could turn into a safety issue if the air bags are affected.

My dash is melting and cracked causing it almost impossible to see out the windshield when it is sunny out. The glare reflection of the dash limits visibility. Contact Toyota and inquiry is pending.

As the dash get hot from the florida sun it becomes sticky and is easily damaged from the heat. The dash has cracked around the radio. The cracks are worse as time goes by.

My dashboard is melting and cracking. Pieces are starting to fall off. Not sure how this may affect inside electrical components as they may be exposed throgh the cracks. In casa of an accident the dasboard may crumble and pieces may cause body damage to face and eyes. Toyota knows of this problem but in taking to much time to make repairs. In fact no repairs have been done in my local dealer to any of the afected units due to lack of parts. This has been going on for about a year.

My complaint is that the rear speaker covers have crumbled. It started with a crack then a hole. But the cover crumbled as soon as it was touched.

I have a 2009 Camry xle with the sticky dash issue! the dash is turning into a glue like stubstance. It also has a noticable smell when it is hot out where the dash is letting off fumes. There is a glare which is amlified from his issue. Im not sure if the fumes are toxic but I have to keep the windows open to air it out when I 1st get in. When I purchased the car I even bought the extended warranty from Toyota and a interior warranty! well guess what! its not covered! the interior trim warranty by perma plate states it covers cracked staining or faded dash and trim not sticky! I was told this is a manufacturing defect where the glue is comming through the dash. I went to the dealer and they told me to call Toyota customer service ! I call and got the standard sympathy statement of its out of warranty! to try to get a discount from your dealer? well I bought this car in maine, moved to florida in 2010 so yes there is a local dealer but not where I bought this car.

Sticky, shiny and cracked dashboard. The dashboard is melting and is so shiny that I can not see because the glare. This is very dangerous.
