A Sticky dashboard - causing excessive glare on windshield. I've been servicing it at the authorized dealer I purchased from but never mentioned of recall or replacement. This is a manufacturing defect that should be a lifelong recall to original buyers?

The Camry is experiencing oil burning intake Manifold. On 14JUL22 at 163,286 miles the red light oil can drip light comes on and off in my dashboard. I take to Toyota of Freeman, they do the oil change and that is it. Then, at 168,786miles, within 4 months the red oil can drip light on my dashboard light comes on again. I go back to Toyota of Freeman the service rep. tells me that this problem will cost me between $3,500-$4,000. I went to another mechanic that is certified by Toyota and he said the problems is Piston Oil Ring needs to be replace. He called all the Toyota Parts looking for the Piston oil ring that is for the oil consumption. He stated nobody has it. In the meanwhile, every 1,000 to 3,000 miles my car runs, I have to check the oil stick not to burn all the way, because the engine will catch on fire. This is a very big safety issue that needs to be looked at. When I purchase Toyota, I went base on that this car will last up 250,000 like all of my Toyota cars had lasted in my past. I called Toyota HDQ and they is no recall for this issue but yes for Camry Hybrid 2007-2011 and a different engine. As i was doing my research in YouTube.com It seems there are more Camry with this same issue. This is a safety issue, if I ever forget to check my oil stick to see if I still have oil the car will get on fire. I believe Toyota has a manufacturing issue with the Piston Oil Ring not being available to repair the issue. This is high risk situation. They need to supply the part or fix the issue. This a liability issue.

I have had a sticky dash causing excessive glare on my windshield for years. I recently received a recall notice for my 2011 toyota camry about the paint. I asked them while I was there if anything could be done about the dash as well and was informed that there was a recall on the dash, but it was expired. However, I was never notified by mail or phone or email that there was a recall on the dash until it was expired.

The Toyota dealership told me that the lower ball joints (LF & RF) must be replaced and that grease is leaking.

If vehicle is in drive with engine running on a hill and rolls back a significant distance while in gear engine may shut off leading to a loss in power steering and brake control once booster looses reserve. also delays ability to move vehicle increasing risk for accident that could be avoided. am able to duplicate concern reliably.

Purchased vehicle brand new and presently have a little over 76,000 miles. Driving on I-77 @ 65 my left Sunvisor suddenly came down impeding my view. Research informed me Toyota had a recall which had Expired. I knew nothing about the Recall but regardless they know it’s a problem but quoted me a price of $231.69?? to repair/replace. Why is Toyota allowed to punish customers for their malfunctioning issues. It’s frustrating and insulting. Please help
