Dashboard Material Melting
2007 Toyota Camry (Page 1 of 5)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: An increasing number of Toyotas are experiencing excessive oil consumption and the 2007 Camry seems to be leading the charge.
Owners are reporting that their engines are deprived of oil halfway through their maintenance schedules and in some cases the damage is so bad that entirely new engines need to be installed, paid out of pocket. The issue may be a result of defective piston rings.
Toyota has issued a TSB for this problem, but maintains their stance that vehicles equipped with a 2AZ-FE engine are burning through a “normal†amount of oil.

- Sticky, Dangerous Dashboards. I Fixed Mine With A Product From Australia - I was googling for a solution to my melting Camry dashboard and came across this product. They had my dashboard color which is the lighter gray. The kit took around a week to arrive. The cleaner spray removes hair and dirt (I have two dogs) then you basically paint the color coating on. Its been 6 months and my dashboard is dry and no longer shiny. Very happy, I should send Toyota my receipt for the product and my time to apply it or they should apply this stuff at the Toyota dealers

I'm in love with Toyota. In Brazil I always had cars of this brand, but newer in manufacture. I recently purchased a 2007 Toyota Camry from a third party and at the time of purchase I did not realize the size of the problem. The car as always is excellent. But to my surprise your panel is simply melting. Just tap it and it dissolves in your hand. As it is sticky and sticky in the hot sun, its reflection almost completely covers the front windshield. I need to drive with dark glasses to get visibility. When researching the subject, I realized that this problem is widespread. That all Camry's have this defect. Imagine the danger of those countless drivers driving in poor visibility. Another point to be thought about is the guarantee of the air bag due to the fragility of the panel. It really is a disappointment with Toyota, and I hope they have a solution not only for me, but for everyone, as I consider this a matter of public safety.
