“I'm having a glare on my windshield (when I'm driving and particularly in sunny conditions) from my dashboard that has melted. It's become very shiny and makes it difficult to see when driving. I have tried cleaning it but because of the substance it is not possible to clean it.”
NHTSA complaint #11204420, filed 2019-04, 140,000 miles“My dashboard has become extremely shinny and the glare is impeding on my visibility in the forward area. I hit a garbage can on a sunny day. Thank god it wasn't a person. This seems to be a defect in the manufacturing of the dashboard material used by Toyota.”
NHTSA complaint #11118453, filed 2018-08, 92,000 miles“The dashboard on my Toyota camry appears to be slowly melting leaving behind a sticky residue and a shine on 90% of the flat surface. The real hazard is that the shine on the dashboard reflects on the windshield making it very difficult to drive especially in daylight. The stickiness of-course is a nuisance. I have noticed that the stickiness is less in the morning but increases as the sun comes out. I have taken the car to the dealer but they refused to look at it since it is not a part that is broken. …”
NHTSA complaint #10639439, filed 2014-09, 90,000 miles“I was driving the vehicle and had the sun glare of the dashboard which has completely melted, I was unable to see the car in front of me which came to a complete stop. Given the glare of the dashboard which has melted completely due to intense sun from florida I was involved in a car accident since I cannot see car in front of me due to the large glare. My defect in the car is that the dashboard is melting and creating a very intense glare which is preventing me from being able to see and unfortunately was involved in a car accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10662728, filed 2014-12, 61,243 miles“My car was parked outdoors in the rain. The inside of the car windows were dripping with moisture. When I decided to go to for a drive, I reached behind my seat to the rear floor for my paper towel roll and cloth towels to wipe off the windows and they were soaked with water. I took the car to the dealer ship to fix the problem. The four sunroof drains had no hose clamps on them the right rear hose had come loose causing a flood in my rear seat area. I had to have all carpets replaced and hose clamps added to prevent any further damage. …”
