2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING AND BECOMING VERY STICKY AND SHINY. THE GLARE FROM THE SUN REFLECTED ONTO THE DASHBOARD, WHICH OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VIEW. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED, THE WATER REMAINED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE CONTACT CALLED ANTIOCH TOYOTA (LOCATED AT 1817 AUTO CENTER DR, ANTIOCH, CA 94509, (925) 778-4800) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,000.

MY CAMRY DASHBOARD MELTED SUCH THAT IT IS NOW REFLECTIVE LIKE A MIRROR OR GLASS ONTO MY FRONT WINDOW. THE GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDOW IS UNSAFE FOR CLEAR VIEWING. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON MAY OF 2018. BUT, A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY A MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT HAVE A LIMIT TO IT'S NECESSARY REPAIR BY TOYOTA. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE DANGER, BUT YOUR ONLY ACCEPTING JPGS BELOW.
