“I have just purchased this vehicle for my daughter. The dashboard is very sticky and seems to stay that way. I have other complaints on here as well. I believe there has been a recall on this but the date to repair has expired? Is there anyway I can get this issue resolved? Thank you very much.”
NHTSA complaint #11317118, filed 2020-03, 144,000 miles“I have been concerned about my Camry's dash board. It has become very disturbing due to it literally melting. I can't even touch my dash board without my fingers and hands getting stuck to it. My car is a daily driver but the texas heat has ruined what I try to keep in pristine condition.”
NHTSA complaint #11338812, filed 2020-07, 80,000 miles“My dashboard is melting. The glue is oozing through the top and now restricts my forward visibility when driving during the day. It is very sticky/reflective and I am concerned that now I cannot see all objects in front of me. If the sun is at the right angle it is blinding.”
NHTSA complaint #11338656, filed 2020-07, 80,000 miles“Takata recall 1) the stickyness of the dashboard, and (2) the shiny/reflective surface the dashboard creates, as a safety hazard.

NHTSA complaint #11013090, filed 2017-08, 6,000 miles“My Camry burns oil excessively. I took their oil consumption test three times and each time they told me I passed yet before 2500 miles I had little to no oil in my engine. My sister had the same problem yet on the 5th time they replaced her engine now they tell me my vehicle is out of the warranty standards”
