“My dashboard is extremely sticky and is reflecting the sun through the windshield. I live in miami so the sun is always reflecting off the dashboard. My car is dangerous because I don't have a clear view of the road. I spoke to a manager at the Toyota dealership who called about what could be done. The cost is 900.00 for a new dashboard. I am a teacher and single mother who cannot afford to replace this myself. I plan to keep my car for a long time so I need options besides paying out of pocket. If there is a class action suit..I would like to be placed on the list.”
NHTSA complaint #10617123, filed 2014-07, 97,554 miles“I have a 2005 Toyota solara convertible. The rear defroster is not operating. I took the car to the dealer and was told that the circuit board was bad. It would cost $3500 to correct since the top would need to be replaced. There was no other resolution to this problem. The car has 33,000 miles on it and is no longer under warranty. The dealer said they have only seen this two other times. Since I live in a cold climate, I feel this is a safety issue. I feel this is a defect in the car. I have emailed Toyota and wrote to them and have not received any response.”
NHTSA complaint #10315011, filed 2010-02, 30,000 miles“The windows on my 2005 Toyota solara have problems. About 6 months ago I started to hear the windows to drag when being put up or down. The passenger window has a piece in the door now that rattles and slides around inside the door, when the window goes up it goes up too far and it sticks out of the rubber barrier it suppose to seal in. I worry if I have a wreck the window may not be secure enough to protect me from shattering since it does not seal in itself. I had contacted haley Toyota dealership and they told me some people had window complaints but would not tell me how many. …”
