I had noticed the dashboard on my 2011 Toyota Camry hybrid became very sticky and shiny in the early months of 2019. The sunlight shining through the windshields most likely created this condition. It is impossible to clean or to remove the very shiny/sticky effect. Subsequently it causes a reflective glare from the shiny surface onto the windshield, possibly creating a driving hazard. I consulted a Toyota dealership who quoted me a price to replace the entire dash as they do not even attempt to clean them...spefically stating they had not seen any ever successfully corrected by repair. Considering how expensive it would be to have this part replaced by a Toyota dealership, and reports online of many other similar experiences by owners of Toyota of similar makes and models, it is my belief that the NHTSA should consider issuing a recall for this issue.

The dashboard is sticky and it is melting. Especially, on a hot day. As a result, when driving, it affecting visibility due to reflection to the windshield from the melting dashboard.

On 12/7/18, 2 tires burst.(pls see attached good year reference proof - "good year Dec 7 2018 inv126569", mileage # 56640) 4. pls pull my audio communications during March 2017 and Dec 2018 please do a full fledged investigation on this issue. These are my demands# 1. I requested back in March 2017 while talking to your rep, to verify, if the tires sold to me were from a lot which sent with defects. A. this is very easy. Pull my tire number, get the plant reference, run by analysis by seeing number of complaints or run a load/stress test to see if there are no defect. B. I was given an explanation that it is not, don't think that anyone verified, gave 100% replacement and I paid only for install.2. again when 2 tires burst on Dec 2018, requested the same. A. the rep whom I talked to was very rude, refused to answer(pls pull the audio and listen the conversation) B. I did chat too. I was told that I may be give 25% and 35% discount only. C. I was told that Michelin will not do that verification for any defects! 3. due to above reasons, I lost the trust with the quality of Michelin tires, hence ended up buying good year tires. 4. first burst happened after 1266 miles (40221-38955) second bursts happened after 16419 miles (56640 - 40221) pls explain your assurances to an end consumer. Am I not allowed to get an explanation?
As I am checking my credit report I decided to look at the vehicle report an I see recalls that I never new anything about, two recalls. I recall recently having issues with said recall, control arms, one of said recall in question, now I hadn't purchased this vehicle long after the recall, as I stated did not get a letter nor did the dealership say anything, as I have gotten regular oil changes with the recall time frame, my car was hit on the street while parked in 2017, but I was told the controls arms problem was not a result of that, I had taken my vehicle to several Toyota dealers an they said they couldn't see T find anything, an eventually one dealer fix it, under my warranty. But it seem to still be a problem with the upper lower control because the car is is swaying from time to time especially with this powerful winds, today my car swayed into the other lane as I was on the freeway I had to get off immediately.
A while back I was pulling in my yard and my visor flipped down causing me to panic and blind my view then when I panicked I accedently hit the gas and drove into my mobile home causing damage to my home and about 2000 dollars of damage to my car I wrote Toyota and they refused to pay for damage
Drivers side sun visor falling down not staying up. The base part of the sum visor becomes detached from the body of the sun visor making it hard to out the sun visor back up blocking the view of the driver. The vehicle was stationed when I first began to notice the sun visor fall half way down. After a long drive out of state, on the highway, the sun visor droped all the way down and would no longer stay
Driver side sun visor making clicking sounds now has totally broken off, making driving dangerous. My window rubber sills are melting making windows still just like the dashboard melting
The sun visor on the passenger side has stopped holding it's place. I saw and read online that a lot of people that has 2007 to 2011 Toyota Camry has experienced the same issue but Toyota has not done anything about it.
Driving down the highway at 5:45 a.M., no cars in sight, I hear a loud noise such as that you would hear from a gunshot. Startled, I pulled to the side of the highway to assess the situation. My sunroof had exploded without cause. It looked as if it was blown out from the inside. Luckily for me, the cover was closed so no glass had fallen inside the cabin. With no cars in sight, I quickly dismissed the idea that it was a rock or road debris. It just randomly exploded without warning. The temperature outside of the vehicle was 46F and the digital climate control was set to 72F. I am very thankful that my two year old son was not in the car as the noise was very loud.
On Friday July 13th I was pulling into a parking spot in a private lot when all of a sudden, with my foot firmly on the brake my car suddenly and violently accelerated, for a second or two hitting a van directly in front of me and also the SUV to the left of the van damaging the right back bumper. The van was hit so hard, it was pushed about 20 feet hitting another vehicle and rolled back hitting my car. The van was in park, which caused transmission damage, and not sure what other damage it had. Toyota was called and they sent a representative out to exam the car and do some diagnostic testing. That was on July 25th..it can take up to a month to get those results. I will not drive this car since this happened. As far as I can see, there were no recalls for this problems with my car.
Number 1 issue. I have takata psan airbag inflators, that can rupture creating a personal injury or death. Number 2 issue. I have front wheel tires that seems to wear off within a year. My 4 wheels were replaced in 2015. I need the 3rd set today. Number 3 issue. My dashboard is extremely sticky.
The driver's side sun visor started to sag two or three years ago. Recently it just hangs down in the driver's face and will not stay in the stowed position. Toyota knows of the problem and has a warranty extension program to deal with it that I found out about when I went online to look for a replacement. I called Toyota's customer satisfaction line and was told that my car's VIN# falls outside the parameters of the program. The covered problem obviously exists on my vehicle. It is clearly a safety issue, as you cannot see out of the vehicle with the visor down.
