2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

THE SUN VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP. IT DROPS AND HANGS DOWN BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING.

DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT, CRACK, CHIP AND BECOME GOOEY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND ON THE PHONE WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE 2 TIMES, AND THEY BOTH KEEP REDIRECTING ME TO EACH OTHER. I HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS SINCE THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND IS REFUSING TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL THAT HAS SINCE EXPIRED, HOWEVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS CAUSES GREAT CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT THAT TOYOTA IS NOT ADDRESSING WITH EASE OR HONESTY. A MELTING DASHBOARD IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD HAVE GRAVE CONSEQUENCES.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING, SINCE IT IS MELTING IT IS CAUSING THE DASHBOARD TO BE REALLY SHINEY, WHICH IS CAUSING A HUGE REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS MAKING IT HARD TO SEE OUT. THE DASHBOARD IS ALSO REALLY STICKY FROM MELTING, AND IM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE OF THIS.

SAFETY SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP)COBB PARKWAY, MARIETTA, GA) SAID THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS ON THE YEAR OF MY CAMRY. SAFETY SYSTEM LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AND I AM AFRAID IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, I WILL NOT HAVE AIR BAG PROTECTION.

SUN VISOR IS BROKEN -TOYOTA WILL NOT FIX IT.THEY SAID IT WAS EXPIRED IN 2015 & THEY WANT $150 TO FIX IT. IS THAT TRUE THE RECALL EXPIRED IN 2015? IT BROKE 1 YEAR AGO.

RE: TSB-L-SB-0144-11 STICKY/MELTING DASHBOARD THE CAR IS 6 MONTHS BEYOND THE DATE OF THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PERIOD. SINCE THE CONDITION OF SHINY STICKINESS OF THE DASHBOARD DID NOT COME TO MY ATTENTION UNTIL AFTER THE ENHANCEMENT PERIOD, I BELIEVE THAT I AM NEVERTHELESS ENTITLED TO THE REPAIR OF THE DASHBOARD BY TOYOTA AND THAT COVERAGE SHOULD BE ALSO EXTENDED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN ANCILLARY PARTS RELATED TO THE REPLACEMENT THAT MIGHT BE DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE WARRANTY REPAIR. THERE IS NO VALID REASON THAT THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT SHOULD HAVE EXPIRED AS THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF AN ARBITRARY PERIOD SET BY TOYOTA. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DUE TO THE REFLECTING GLARE OF THE SUN ON THE WINDSHIELD, THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND BECAME VERY STICKY AND SHINY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY DUE TO THE GLARE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

MELTING DASHBOARD AND DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR DOES NOT STAY UP. THE MELTING DASH CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE OBSTUCTED. I WAS TOLD THAT I MISSED THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN SENT ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

BOUGHT 09 CAMRY NEW. IN 2015, @ 130,000 MILES, THE "LOW OIL" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO DO THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, (THEY OVERFILLED THE ENGINE WITH OIL). WHEN CAME BACK IN 1200 MILES WAS TOLD THE CAR IS BURNING OIL BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR TOYOTA TO COVER THE REPAIR (SINCE THEY OVERFILLED THE ENGINE WITH OIL) THE CAR CONTINUED TO CONSUME MORE OIL. NOW AT 170,000 MILES, THE CAR BURNS AROUND 2 QRTS OF OIL EVERY 1000. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE TOYOTA DEALER SAID THEY COULD REPLACE IT FOR $1500. I JUST RECENTLY LEARNED THAT TOYOTA HAS BEEN REPLACING THEM FOR FREE, BUT THAT HAS ENDED. WERE TOYOTA OWNERS INFORMED OF THIS. I DO NOT REMEMBER GETTING ANY KIND OF NOTIFICATION ABOUT REPLACING MELTING DASHBOARDS.
