Carrier/rack problems of the 2008 Toyota Sienna

2008 Sienna dashboard cracking and is shiny and sticky. The shininess produces a glare on the windshield and is a safety hazard. This problem started a few months after the 10 year extended warranty offered by Toyota expired. Tried contacting Toyota and refused to help.

Dash board cracked over glove box, then another crack appeared on the left side near the side window defrost vent. Wonder if it would affect air bag deployment?.

The dashboard seems to be melting, is sticky and is cracked in several places.

My 2008 Toyota Sienna has power rear sliding doors. While the driver side rear door was opening, the cable for the door mechanism snapped and would not close completely. After investigating the situation, the broken cable was jammed in the door mechanism, preventing the door from closing. As a result, the door now does not fully open, and will not hold in the open position. If parked on a hill, the door will close if not held open. Looking at the cable, the plastic sheathing around the cable had many cracks causing the cable itself to rust and fail. The passenger side door cable has similar cracks but has not failed yet. I brought the vehicle to our local Toyota dealer. They mentioned this cable failure was a known problem and previous model years were covered under an extended warranty program. However, the 2008 model year was not covered.

My dashboard is melting and cracking. It is sticky and impossible to clean. Over the last few months, it's also cracking on the front edges, both on the driver's and passenger's side.

The vehicle has developed a cracked (pieces broken off) dashboard. It gets very hot and feels like it is melting. Toyota recognized the problem almost two years ago when they started sending recall notices but to date they haven't come up with a solution to fix it. I have already received about five recall notices but each time the dealer tells me they will have a fix in the winter or fall etc. . Just concerned that it is taking almost two years and Toyota keep sending the notices. I also have a 2009 camry and the dashboard is very sticky too (not breaking yet). Not sure what there strategy is but they need to handle the liability if they want to keep repeat customers and avoid bigger issues with vehicle safety.

My dashboard is sticky and cracked, I have called Toyota and visited them at the original Toyota dealership but all we get they are still working on making them at the factory and when they get to the warehouse we will call yo or you need to wait for a 2nd notification from us. This is going on almost 2 years, I just called them again today. I believe theirs many of us waiting on the same thing, can you help me please?.

My vehicle has been always parked inside a garage. I am on waiting list of Toyota hollywood to replace my cracked dashboard. However, the handle of the trunk door is also melted. Every time I touch it all the sticky black material sticks on my fingers.
