“I purchased my car new and have done all the servicing required. My car has been garaged and I work from home. The dashboard started cracking and if you scratch it with your fingernail, it peels off! It has progressively been getting worse and I am fearing it is affecting other parts of the car. It literally seems like it is falling apart. I think there is something seriously wrong here and think it should be investigated and recalled.”

“Dashboard melting ' I just noticed my dashboard melting yesterday and contacted Toyota today. I was told that the warranty enhancement for this problem expired less than a year ago, and that they were sorry, but they are not willing to help me. I keep my car in a partially climate-controlled garage and drive only a few thousand miles a year. Therefore, my car is having delayed symptoms of the melting dashboard problem. Because I took extraordinary steps to protect my car, I am being excluded from the warranty program. This boils down to two safety problems: 1. …”

“Cracking and melting dashboard. Toyota put out an extended warranty to cover the replacement. The problem I have...I received the first letter stating the problem, but it stated a second letter will be sent, with notification when the parts will be available, I never received the second letter. As time went by, I forgot about going to a dealer rather than wait for the letter. A big mistake, I learned today dec 22, 2017, the deadline was may 31, 2017. The problem does exist, so why, because I never followed up on a letter I never received, be rejected. …”

“While driving my 04 Toyota solara at 45mph there was a very loud noise the sunroof exploded causing glass to fly all over the inside of the car, into the street, and hit the back of my trunk chipping the paint. The screen was open, but the sunroof was closed at the time. If my children were in the backseat at the time they would of been injured by the glass. There was nothing in the road it was a nice sunny day when it happened. I first called Toyota they opened a case and responded saying at this time Toyota is not doing a recall on this or has there been a class action lawsuit against them. …”

“On 09/20/08 I drove my 2004 Toyota solara to a greek festival on mountainview avenue in santa rosa. I was directed to park my car in the parking field. I accelerated slightly to go over a small bump and the motor roared out of control. I had to quickly throw it into another gear to kill the motor. When I restarted the car it seemed to be ok. It was a very frightening experience. On 9/22/08 I took it to the freeman Toyota dealership in santa rosa. A representative took me out for a ride in my car and was unable to reproduce the problem with my car. …”
