I contacted Toyota over a year ago concerning a recall on my dash boad...I was informed that they were on back orde due to the recall...I have made several attempts to resolve this matter but every time I call to speak with someone they give me an attitude stating that they have had people waiting on a dash board longer than me and that I just have to wait.

I'm experiencing a melting dashboard that causes a such glare on the windshield that it has the effect of of us not being able see thorough the windshield as was intended by its installation. We now wear uv sunglasses in order to try to combat the glare. This melting dashboard is a safety hazard! I've sent/spoken with Toyota and its dealers and they have not agreed repair or replace my melting dashboard. Did I mention it is a safety hazard and has further decreased the re-sale value.

The driver side sun visor keeps falling off and blocks driver's view. I searched online and it seems that it's a common problem for Toyota Camry model between 2008 - 2011. Many owners complains about it. I contacted Toyota headquarter but they refused to fix the problem

The dashboard is sticky, melting, and causes a very dangerous reflection on the windshield from the sun, making it extremely difficult to see out the windshield while driving or otherwise.

Dash is melting. The residue from the dash is causing a sticky reflective surface. The reflective surface is distracting for drivers and can during bright days cause reduced visibility.

My 2008 Camry xle has a very shiny, sticky dashboard. This problem has been getting worse over the period of a few years. Now, I can hardly see to drive because of the glare on the windshield when the sun is shining bright and sometimes with certain night driving conditions.

Sun visors for both passenger and driver broke. I can understand the driver side to come off, but the passenger side too came off. I am the only one driving the car. This has to be a serious quality issue. My warranty expired last year but the poor quality of the Camry visors cannot be excused. Its ok for me to spend money to get it repaired, but I do mind but the amount of time I have to spend to get it fixed. This is just very annoying.

Purchase a 2008 Camry and notice that the dashboard is sticky and shiny and real mess. I took the car to Toyota place because of a recalled on the power switch in August 2015. I was told that there is a recalled on the dash board but I have not received a call from the dealership. Today I called and was routed to a salesman who was trying to get me to purchase another Toyota. I don't think I will purchase another Toyota. My first one was great a 2005. But this second one 2008 has made me not believe in the product anymore. What happen to Toyota dependability" this is what made me buy the product in the first place. Accountability and dependability has disappear for most car companies. What's a consumer to do just lie down and take poor workmanship"

I did not have an accident. I just wanted to vent my feeling on the problem. Toyota issued a warranty enhancement notice concerning the sun visor assembly. The notice gave you 7 years from the date of purchase which seem like a long time. They stated only to bring it in if you have a problem. I did not have a problem until 9 months pass the 7 years. This could be a safety issue as the visor fell down blocking my view. I had to remove it in order to see the road. My question is why was this issued as a warranty enhancement notice instead of a recall. They must know that customers have a problem with it since they issued the warranty enhancement notice.
