2009 TOYOTA CAMRY Complaints

STICKY AND SHINY DASHBOARD: MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO CLEAN BUT NOT ONLY THAT BUT THERE IS THE GLARE AND WHEN THAT COMES UP I CAN'T REALLY SEE WHERE I AM GOING PROPERLY. IT'S QUITE DANGEROUS SINCE THE SHINY DASHBOARD MAKES EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS WHEN SUN HIT RIGHT AT YOU. IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE I HAVE TO LEAN DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND GO IN BETWEEN THE TWO GLARE SPOTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WOULD DISPENSE RAPIDLY AT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 2,000 MILES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE BRAKE AND ABS LIGHT ARE ON, THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM METER GOES TO 0 WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STOPPED IN PARK. THE A/C ALSO DON'T WORK. THE FAULT IS INTERMITTENT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS MELTING. WE LIVE IN KENTUCKY SO IT IS NOT JUST WARMER WEATHER STATES LIKE TOYOTA STATES IT IS. THE MELTING CAUSES A GLARE THAT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY OTHERS MAY NOT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY REALLY COULD CARE LESS. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO GET HURT BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GLUE ON THE DASHBOARD WAS DETERIORATING CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,500.

THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL STARTED LEAKING, OOZING SOME STICKY GLUEY FLUID THAT GOT REAL WORSE WHEN IT WAS HOT. DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY BECAME VERY HARD SINCE THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY SHINY GLARE REFLECTED ON THE WINDSHIELD AND VISIBILITY WAS VERY LOW. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE & DID SOME GOOGLE RESEARCH. I REALIZED I WAS NOT ALONE. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO TOYOTA ATTENTION BY AN EMAIL. THEY REFERRED ME TO THE DEALER. DEALER BASICALLY SAID THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY NEED MONEY TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A "DEFECTIVE" MATERIAL USE BY TOYOTA. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS WITHIN A "SAFETY" RECALL. *TR

THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO "MELT" AND BECOME STICKY. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, TO THE POINT IT IS NOW ABOUT AN 80% LIQUID APPEARANCE. THE DASH MATERIAL THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE LIQUID APPEARANCE IS EXTREMELY SOFT AND QUITE EASILY DAMAGED. IT CANNOT BE CLEANED, AS ANY TYPE OF CLEANING CLOTH OR SPONGE IMMEDIATELY STICKS TO THE SURFACE. NO CLEANERS OR PROTECTANTS HAVE EVER BEEN APPLIED. *TR
