My dashboard is melting. There is a warranty extension for 2011 Camry's, but Toyota say's my VIN is not on the list for replacement. The car was stationary at the car wash.
The dash board of the car seems to be melting as it is getting stcky as the days passes by and difficult to clean as you cannot pot your hand on it and if you try cleaning the melting plastic comes out scratching with cloth/fingers.

Driver side sun visor fell down would not stay up then after doing this for a few months, sun visor made a loud noise and broke off. Sadly after calling dealership they could not tell me where or how to file a complaint I'm sure that's why you do not have very many forms filled out. But the internet is all a buzz with this happing to their Toyota
'takata recall' my car was forced into cement lane barrier on interstate and then bounced off and rear ended car in front of me. My airbags did not deploy.
I am having problems with my dashboard melting and becoming very shiny and sticky. Because of the super shiny dash, my vision is obscured while trying to drive during the day.. especially on my way to and from work as the sun is rising and setting. I contacted the local Toyota dealership and was advised to call the corporate office for Toyota America, which I did. Toyota America advised that there were no recalls or warranty enhancements for my car, as they are only active up to year models 2009 at this time. They did advise that for other year models, they are doing them case by case, assigned me a case number, and gave me instructions to go to the local dealership for inspection - which I did. After almost 2 weeks of waiting on a response, I called Toyota just to be told my claim was denied due to the fact that it's not covered under an open recall or warranty enhancement and my standard warranty only covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles. The glare put off by my dash is a severe safety hazard, in that I can barely see out of my windshield when the sun is shining here in southeast Georgia. The attached picture was taken on 10/16/2017 while parked in partial shade. Please help me and all of the other Toyota owners dealing with this problem.
We were hit at high rate of speed centered on the passenger's side front tire. The impact was pretty severe and the car has been totaled. No airbags in the car deployed and I was the passenger. I was injured in the crash.
I own a 2011 Toyota Camry le. The sun visor on the drivers side becomes loose and keeps dropping. This is a driving hazard. Toyota created a warranty extensions (csp) for certain vehicles which did not include my particular VIN however I believe this problem is widespread for 2007-20011 Camry's. and Toyota should cover all vehicles manufactured in that period.
My driver side sun visor has came unhinged on its own. I am able to temporarily place it back on the hook by pulling the plastic open that surrounds the brackets so it can operate as a sunvisor should. But if I go over a bump then it is likely to come unhooked and obstruct my vision by leaning while only supported by the small catch hook. This is a major safety concern. At times it completely falls into my lap as I am driving or I will get into the car and the visor will be laying on the seat. It falls off when the car is stable and in motion. It also will not close up. So if I need it closed (I.e at night) then I have to take it off. My mother has driven my car and she is shorter than me so she sits closer there the wheel. She informed me that while driving, the visor fell off and hit her on the head. Big issue! it is somewhat expensive to replace and is a manufacturer defect that they should fix. It seems the "safest" thing to do besides replace it is to not have the visor up but that it's the sole reason for having a sun visor... to block the sun... yet it does not effectively serve it's purpose without risk. The passenger side is rarely used but will make clicking sounds in every position it is moved to so I'm sure it will break soon also. So I checked out Toyota recall/warranty and apparently only a few of the 2011 vehicles fall in the covered range although this seems to be a problem for more than those few. I would appreciate if NHTSA would investigate this issue further. This is not just a cosmetic concern. Obstructed vision is very dangerous. I fall within the make, model, and year range but not the VIN range for repair, which is crazy! any of the Toyota's with this issue that meet the basic criteria should qualify regardless of the product supplier for that VIN. Seems to be a way to spend less fixing by covering less vehicles and not considering safety.
The dashboard of my 2011 Toyota Camry SE is melting. It is extremely sticky. The glossiness from the dashboard melting impairs my view when driving because of the glare it gives from the sun reflecting. I am scared of my safety as I live on a tropical/hot island location.
My dashboard is melting & cracking. It is sticky to the touch and it\'s falling apart the glare from the melting dash is also an issue. I also have an issue with the drivers side vanity mirror it is broke and won\'t stay up. I had the same exact issues with my 2007 Camry and Toyota fixed the dash but they told me to go buy a new dashboard and pay for it myself for my 2011 they will not except blame and they will not help with the issues they pretty much told me tough luck. I am very upset with the condition of my dashboard and I am very upset at Toyota response to my issue.
The passenger and driver side sun visors fail to stow properly and have deployed unexpectedly while operating the vehicle on numerous occasions to the point it seemed safer to remove the visors. The adverse affect is now being blinded by the sun while driving.
I bought my car in 11/2010. About 3 years later, the dashboard became sticky. I thought if was because of the heat. As time passed it got worse and it's causing a very bad glare. I was searching the web to see what causes this and came across an action suit against Toyota for this problem. I also had the problem with my sun visors continuously dropping. This too was a problem many others were having with this model. I called Toyota to see what they can do and they stated that there was nothing they could do since my VIN # was not on the "list". I called the corporate office and they to said that there was nothing they can do. I will have to pay for it myself and "if in the future, they receive a change, they will reimburse me. I find this disturbing that since my car was not on the "list" yet I'm having the same problems other Toyota owners are having, I do not qualify to get my car fixed. I wanted to pass the car down to my son, but before I do, I have to pay for the problems I'm having which will cost over $900. I am extremely disappointed and will not be buying my future car from Toyota.
Driver's side sun visor became loose and will not stay up. Fell down into view when driving. Visor finally fell off the swing arm and it is due to a cracked/separated plastic housing within the visor that the swing arm inserts into.
