“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10726357, filed 2015-06, 100,000 miles“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.

NHTSA complaint #11089949, filed 2018-04, 97,500 miles“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. …”

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.

NHTSA complaint #11075408, filed 2018-02, 120,000 miles“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. …”
