THE CAMRY WAS TAKING A SPEED HUMPS AND WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY AN F-150 GRAND RANCH TRUCK. THE CAMRY PASSENGER SEAT BELT NEVER HOLD THE OCCUPANT IN POSITION. SHE FLEW OVER THE DASHBOARD AND HIT IT WITH HER FACE. THE SEAT BELT NEVER RETAIN HER IN POSITION, SO I'M MAKING A COMPLAINT TO INVESTIGATE THIS. THANK YOU *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS A STICKY MELTED DASHBOARD THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS COMPLAINT IS TO SUPPORT THE RECALL OF THIS DASHBOARD. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY SAID THE DASHBOARD WAS APPROXIMATELY $1400 THAT I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY. I STILL OWE MY VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS STICKY- MIRROR ALMOST-MELTING DASHBOARD. EXCELLENT VEHICLE BUT DISAPPOINTED ON THIS PART OF IT. IT IS A HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE IT CAUSES ON THE ROAD WITH THE SUN AND MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO GOOD VISIBILITY. *TR

BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR; DODGE TRUCK W/TRAILER HITCH STOPPED ON A DIME; I RAN INTO BACK OF TRUCK; BUT THEN MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD ON ITS OWN ACCORD AND I HIT THE TRUCK A SECOND TIME. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT LUNGED! CAR IS IN THE SHOP BUT I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND OUT WHAT THE COST OF DAMAGE WILL BE OR THE TIME FRAME FOR REPAIRS. IT HAS LUNGED BEFORE; BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *TR

DASH BOARD MELTING, GLARES MAKING DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND FRONT WINDSHIELD IS HAZZY, NOT CLEAR VIEW OF ROAD. MAY BE MELTED POLYMERS VAPOR I AM BREATHING ? *TR

AFTER BRINGING THE CAR TO GET BRAKES CHECKED, WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON THE CAR. THIS CAR IS ONLY DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS, IN A WELL MAINTAINED AREA. THE CAR HAS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 48000 MILES ON IT. STRUTS SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER ON A CAR WHEN THE DRIVEN IN THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN. *TR
