1)BODY- The body of the vehicle (paint) seems to be chipping and/or rusting at an increasingly rapid rate with no known causes. This rusting is causing the value of the car to plummet as I am trying to sell the vehicle. It first appeared in about 2019 and has been getting steadily worse without any way to stop it. 2) SUSPENSION- On every single Toyota I-??ve owned (4) the struts wore very quickly and are NOT a cheap fix. I had to at one point, fix them more than once in the same vehicle. I was told by the repair tech that it is a common issue seen in Toyotas. If a strut goes while driving it can cause major safety issues for the driver. 3)WHEELS- The hubcaps more specifically speaking, on every Toyota I-??ve owned, have also had an issue maintaining its hubcaps. One rolled off on the highway and nearly caused me to crash as it hit the side of my car and slid under the rear tires and made me slide all over the snowy highway. Luckily there weren-??t many vehicles on the road or it could-??ve been catastrophic. I also notice that the light for the tire pressure never turns off either. I can fill the tires, empty the tires, it does not matter, the light will never go off.

The 2007 Toyota Camry has a manufacturing defect related to sticky/melting dashboards as a result of heat or humidity. Toyota sent me a warranty notice for an extension for 10 years from the date of first use of the vehicle, which they determined was the date that I purchased the vehicle on July 31, 2007. In 2013, I took the vehicle to a Toyota dealer, however, they refused to replace the dashboard because, in their opinion, it was not sufficiently compromised. However, now, years later, the dashboard has become very sticky and reflective. It produces a glare into the windshield, impairing vision, which is now a safety issue due to the manufacturer defect. This defect could cause serious injury and death. On August 5, 2022, I appealed to Toyota customer service for them to replace the dashboard. I emphasized the safety issue. However, a Senior Representative declined to make an exception. I then wrote to [XXX], CEO of Toyota Motor North America to ask for his help (see attached letter). I asked him to personally authorize the dashboard replacement and reply to me directly. Almost two months later, I have not received any communication from him. Moreover, on October 4th, I called Toyota customer service to follow-up on my letter. I was told that [XXX], Executive Office Administrator send me an email on September 1st asking for the best time to contact me. I never received this email, neither in my inbox or in my gmail spam folder. That same day, I called [XXX] and left a detailed voice message. I have called him several times since then, each time leaving a message on his voicemail. He has deliberately refused to return my phone calls. I am appalled that Toyota and its CEO does not take safety issues seriously. I kindly ask you to either contact Toyota on my behalf to have them replace the dashboard, or to issue a recall of all 2007 Toyota Camry's due to a manufacturer defect that can result in serious injury or death.

As soon as I drove this car off the lot, the "tire balance" light came on. The tires were low so I put air in them and the light is still on. The front bumper skirt scrapes on every dip in the road it seems, sounding horrible. Then, it got caught on a parking stop which loosened the skirt so it now hangs even lower and scrapes bottom over every crack in the road.

About a year ago, I noticed that the dashboard was not firm. It dented very easily. This year, I did not drive much, but when I did, the dashboard was melting and shiny, reflecting in the windshield, making visibility dangerously insufficient while driving. The problem is much worse on sunny days. Dashboard can not be cleaned, since it is gooey. Precise date is hard to say, because of covid restrictions and cautions.

My 2007 Toyota Camry dashboard is very sticky and seems to be melting. With the slightest tap to it, pieces of the rubber on the dashboard will break off. I have done some research and apparently there was a recall on the car because of the dashboards during the time I purchased it but being that I was not the owner in Toyota's log I was not notified. I have contacted Toyota via telephone and gotten no results and I have went to a Toyota lot and still haven't got any results. Any and everything is able to stick to the dashboards putting it at risk of becoming home for microorganisms and possibly causing respiratory issues for me. I am not able to disinfect the dashboard because everything sticks to it. In the past I would no doubt recommend Toyota to everyone due to the fact that my family has been a long time supporter of Toyota but currently I would not recommend them because they refuse to fix something that is a manufacturers issue.

I was driving at about 25mph on montgomery drive in philadelphia (city street) in the morning of 12/9/2019. It was raining lightly. The car in front of me was about 4 to 5 car-lengths ahead. It braked as another car tried to cut in, and I also immediately braked. My brake felt grinding and my car continued to slide into the back of the car in front of me.

There was originally a recall on the 2007 Toyota Camry that had a warranty to replace the melting dashboard. The melting dashboard is a safety hazard due to the glare that it produces. The car owner should not be made responsible for an error Toyota created. My complaint is that a recall warranty should never expire for someone who paid for a vehicle with expectations that there would be no issues.

Sticky & degrading dash pad. My vehicle is past the "enhanced warranty" period for this problem but this is a serious safety issue that creates glare on the windshield making it hard to see while driving. This should be a mandatory recall. Please help.
