2006 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA Complaints

MY DASH IS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. WHAT KIND OF ENGINEERING IS THIS THAT THE DASH FALLS APART IN SUCH A SHORT TIME IN A CAR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO OUT LAST ITS COMPETITORS.

TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS VERY COMMON STICKY DASHBOARD ISSUE. IT CREATES BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE - THE DASHBOARD BECOMES SO REFLECTIVE THAT YOU CANT SEE THE ROAD - AND IS DISGUSTING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I WAS ON A WAITING LIST... TO DATE I NEVER WAS TOLD THAT THEY ERE ABLE TO FIX IT AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THE TERM IS OVER FOR GETTING IT REPAIRED. THEY ARE CLEARLY AT FAULT. WHAT DO I DO TO GET IT REPAIRED NOW?

FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED OR REVS TO QUICKLY WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED-SEE RK. FOUND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FAULT. THERE IS NO THROTTLE MOVEMENT UNTIL THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED APPROXIMATELY 1/3 TO 1/2 WAY TO THE FLOOR. THEN THE VEHICLE LURCHES DUE TO RAPID THROTTLE OPENING TO 1/3-1/2. THERE ARE NO STORED DIAGNOSTIC CODES. THE VEHICLE IS NOT GOING INTO FAIL SAFE MODE AS IT SHOULD. WITH ANY THROTTLE OR ACCELERATOR PEDAL MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE NEVER ENTERED FAIL SAFE MODE EVEN AFTER REPEATED MALFUNCTIONS. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

COMPLAINT REGARDING STICKY, SHINY DASHBOARD. I JUST PURCHASED A 2006 TOYOTA SOLARA. COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE DASHBOARD. (1) THE STICKYNESS OF THE DASHBOARD - HOLDS DUST AND GRIME AND CAN NOT BE CLEANED, AND (2) THE STICKY SURFACE RESULTS IN A SHINY/REFLECTIVE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT REFLECTS GLARE BOTH DAY AND NIGHT ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE. I BOUGHT IN OCT 2017 AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP NEAR ME. I WAS TOLD DUE TO THE CAR MANUFACTURE DATE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RECALL OF THE DASHBOARD FROM TOYOTA. I AM TOLD THE DASHBOARD PART IS $1,800 - WOW! THIS IS A HEALTH & SAFETY ISSUE AND I DEMAND MY DASHBOARD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO ME.

ABNORMAL OPERATION BETWEEN ACCELERATOR AND THROTTLE. TECH TESTED THROTTLE BODY AND TESTS PASSED. TECH TESTED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND VALUES OUT OF RANGE. TECH WOULD THINK THIS COULD CAUSE A DTC TO SET IF NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY BUT THERE WERE NO CODES. AT RANDOM MOMENTS, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. CANNOT GET ANSWERS. OCCURS MOST OFTEN AFTER IDLING AT A LIGHT THEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE IT WON'T MOVE. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE YEARS SO WE HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE AND FILTER CLEANED TWICE IN THE PAST BUT PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.

I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR STOPPED BEHIND SCHOOL BUS WITH MY SEATBELT ON .I WAS REAR ENDED MY SHOULDERBELT DID NOT LOCK AND MY VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND SEVERED MY FOREHEAD AND I HIT THE TOP OF MY HEAD.I NEEDED 50 STITCHES IN MY FOREHEAD AND NEEDED PLASTIC SURGERY. THE VISOR, WHICH IS ALL STEEL , SLICED MY FOREHEAD OPEN.I DO NOT THINK A STEEL VISOR SHOULD BE IN FRONT OF A DRIVERS HEAD.

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY. THIS HAS PRODUCED A GLARE MAKING VISIBILITY AN ISSUE. CLEANING DOESN'T HELP.

MY 2006 SOLARA CONVERTIBLE HAS DEEP CRACKS ALL ALONG THE DASH END TO END WHICH MAY AFFECT THE OPERABILITY OF THE AIRBAG. IT'S SHINY, GOOFY, STICKY WHICH DEFINITELY AFFECTS VISIBILITY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ELSE IT AFFECTS. I THOUGHT IT WAS CAUSED BY HEAT UNTIL I READ THE SOME 75 EXACTLY IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS. TOYOTA NEEDS TO RECALL THE DASH RATHER THAN ASK WE CONSUMERS TO PAY $2,400 TO FIX IT. THIS WAS A $32,000 VEHICLE. BAD ENOUGH THAT THE ADHESIVE AROUND THE BACK WINDOW DISSOLVED, NOW THIS. IT'S UNDRIVABLE, UNSALEABLE AND I ONLY HAVE 27000 MILES ON IT

YESTERDAY, JULY 26, 2015, I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL A SECOND LETTER FROM TOYOTA MOTOR SALES CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE DEPARTMENT REGARDING THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM - ZE6 CONCERNING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STICKY DASHBOARD OF SOME MAKE AND MODEL. MINE IS A 2006 TOYOTA SOLARA. IT'S RIDICULOUS WHY THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT IS ONLY FOR THE STICKY DASHBOARD WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND INSIDE DOOR PANELS ARE MADE OF THE EXACT SAME MATERIAL. THESE PARTS MUST BE COVERED AS WELL ESPECIALLY WE TOUCH THESE PARTS EVERY SINGLE TIME WE USE THE VEHICLE. ON MINE, I NOTICED THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE MATERIAL SINCE LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS WIPE CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF MY SOLARA. THIS WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT MUST BE EXTENDED TO FIX THE MATERIAL ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND DOOR PANELS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS BECAUSE I READ BLOGS AND THERE ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE EVEN ON LEXUS 2006. YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE WE PAY A LOT IN PURCHASING OUR VEHICLES AND WE DESERVE OUR MONEY'S WORTH.

MY DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND IS CRACKED FROM DRIVER TO PASSENGER SIDES.ALSO IS CRACKED WHERE AIRBAGS ARE. DASHBOARD IS ALSO SHINEY AND SUNS REFLECTIONS MAKES IT DANGEROUS DRIVING. I AM AFRAID AIRBAGS WILL INFLATE.
