My dashboard has a tear over the airbag on the front passenger side. I took it to the Toyota dealership on franklin St. In hempstead before the covid 19 virus shut down. I was informed that since there's no recall on my vehicle, I would have to pay out of pocket to change the dashboard cover. I think it's a safety issue since this happened through no fault of my own. The vehicle is in mint condition and runs like new because I take care of my cars. Please help
The heating element on the passanger side mirror overheated "cooking" the glass on the mirror (adding a smoky dark gray cast) that reduces visibility especially at night.
Another driver lost control while driving West on icy roads and hit me, I was driving East on ne lombard..in results of my Toyota Avalon being deamed totaled. Dealership is out of business and owes the bank $454.10 for warranty refund.
I rear ended car and the lower airbag deployed striking me just below by knees. My right leg developed a hematoma from the airbag deployment and required surgery. I still have a large depressed area on my leg, a scar, tenderness and darkening of the skin, all which will require further surgery to repair.

I have called Toyota in houston, tx several times about my melting and cracking dashboard. I was told this was normal wear and tear. My car is garaged, and only out for short amounts of driving time. On December 31, 2014, I saw on the national nbc news that there is a recall for the dashboard problems. I called Toyota this morning, Jan. 2, 2015, and was told they know nothing about a recall. I must have a letter for them to due recall work. I'd like to file this complaint, hoping my car, make and model will be added so that I receive a recall notice. Thank you.
Dashboard is cracking rapidly and Toyota isn't standing behind this defect. Concerned about flying parts if the airbags would deploy. Car is mainly kept in the garage and I vent to let the leather breathe. This is apparently a defect from the manufacturer.
I slowed to pull into a parking space on the roof of parking garage. I tapped my brake and felt a sudden surge of power. (noisy power sound) I forcefully pushed down on the brakes and burned rubber making visible skid marks. The car went over both the cement bumper in front of my car and the cement bumper of the facing car and came to a stop when it hit his car. Both cars sustained major damage to the front. I was not injured and no one was in the car I hit. It is fortunate that this did not occur at a stop with pedestrians.
