I have been driving for 11 years, I have only owned Toyota's. I am extremely disappointed with my most recent Camry purchase. My dashboard is completely coming to pieces!!! its extremely soft and delicate. Cannot be touched in heat or pieces will come off, and deep scratches are made from the passing of a finger nail. I have never seen something like this in my life. I am disappointed in the dash board material. I take well care of my cars, washing it weekly. I will probably reconsider purchasing another Toyota, I thought I was getting my money's worth. . . Apparently im getting what I paid for. What a fail!! its only 6 years old and it looks more worn out than the first Camry I ever owned! interior material is cheap. Honestly considering turning in my 2007 Toyota Camry for a better quality vehicle. Heartbreaking to see my hard earned money come to pieces before I have even finished paying for it. Repairing it out of my pocket is not even an option.

I have a Toyota Camry xle 2008. My dashboard started melting and almost disintegrating. This started within the warranty time where it became "sticky" but has now gotten progressively much worse. I am concerned because I am unsure if the effects of this melted dashboard will have an affect on the airbag deployment system or other interior structures. It is also creating a shiny "reflecting" effect which makes it harder to see while driving. I take very good care of this car and it is in great condition, only has 40,000 miles on it. The dealer said that he was aware of such problem but because it was after warranty has quoted me $1,300. This seems to be a very common complaint as I have heard the same thing from many others, appears to be a factory defect that Toyota should do something about.

Due to the deterioration of the dashboard, where it is basically melting and very shiny and sticky, when driving in the direction of the sun, the suns rays reflecting off of the dash basically are a blinding factor on visibility of the driver. It is very difficult to see clearly through the windshield. I contacted Toyota care center and explained the issue with the dash deterioration to them. Their rep acknowledged they recognized other owners had reported an issue with the dash but unless the car was under original warranty, they can not do anything to rectify the situation. The rep also noted Toyota determined the cause to be "environmental" and primarily occurring in florida, where I live. In researching other owners complaints on-line, this issue is clearly systemic. And, there are other complaints of this condition effecting visibility. Has the NHTSA investigated the potential safety concern to the public due to Toyota's systemic defect in 2008 and 2007 Camry's they have sold? I can provide photos upon request.

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.

The dashboard of my 2007 Toyota Camry se has been melting and there is a shine reflection of the dashboard in the windshield creating a visibility problem. I bought this car brand new when it came out at maroon Toyota at weston, FL. When I started with the problem I took it to this dealership and the manager said my car was our of warranty and could do nothing. I also took it to headquarters Toyota in miami where I have been taking my car for maintenance and I got the same reply. I called Toyota USA and the agent said he can't do anything else either because the dashboard of the car has a warranty of only 3 years. This is a manufacturing defect of the car. I never heard of a melting dashboard and my car right now has less than 65k and this started when it was around 50k miles. Please, can you help? I am sure I cannot be the only one complaining. Thank you.

1998 Toyota Camry (139k miles) rear driver side tie rod break while driving. Purchased two rear tires and car alignment mid October. Two weeks later while driving on a city road, felt a problem with wheels, pulled off road, called tow truck. Tie rod had broken into two equal sized pieces. Tie rod was very rusted and corroded and missing the sleeve that covers over both ends. Part was either defective from the beginning or somehow lost the sleeve. It was impossible to align the car. However the tire place charged me for an alignment when I bought the tires. More annoying was the fact that they never informed me the tie rod was damaged/rusted and liable to break. I had no indication the tie rod was defective and have since learned that a break like that is rare. Fortunately I was driving slowly and no damage to the car or injury. Lastly I have tires rotated twice a year at local Toyota place and was never informed the tie rod was defective/ rusted and missing the sleeve.
