CarComplaints.com Notes: Owners are reporting that their engines are running out of oil awfully quick. As in, 1 quart every 1,200 miles. Toyota maintains that’s with the “normal†operating range of the 2AZ-FE while owners maintain that’s complete BS.

ABS/VSC actuator pump failure and with the abs alarm on causing constant drain to the system needing jump every time or to disconnect 12v every time parked. Dealer diagnosed wrong last year stating 12v battery needed replacement. I did the $500. It did NOT fix the problem. Now dealer states actuator pump failure - replace/fix price approx $4,000. I asked for diagnostic readouts to prove to me that they have it right this time. (I'm over 50 hours into this ABS failure) he refused and would not agree to refund my money if I would go ahead with their advised repair. My car has only 116,000 miles on it! I've checked around & it seems that my model should be part of recall/repair. I've gotten nothing written from Toyota when I have inquired in writing. Extremely dangerous, this failure!
Visors fall out and will not stay secured, allowing for sun to grt into eyes while driving. This is compounded by the fact that the dashboard is melting and very shiny. Common problems with this year and model. Recommend Toyota replace.
2008 Toyota Camry dashboard melting Toyota advised CSP letter sent 2011. I did not receive letter. Toyota advised CSP extended until 2017. I was not advised by dealership. 2021 dashboard started getting sticky. I was advised that Toyota cannot replace as after the CSP. If my dashboard would have melted between 2011 and 2017, I would have contacted Toyota. I am not able to pay the 2600 for a new dashboard. Toyota should have not put a dashboard into a vehicle that melts and causes a glare and noxious odor. I am looking for any assistance to help get this fixed by Toyota at no cost to myself. Texas has 103 to 110 degree heat this year. Thank you
I have a very sticky dashboard which reflects a strong glare and blind my drive view very bad sometimes. I have encountered several cases in which I almost missed traffic lights and stop sign. It puts my in very dangerous driving. I called my Toyota dealer and was told that it will cost over $1500 to replace it. I wonder why Toyota didn't issue a recall on this issue.
My dash on my Toyota Camry has become sticky and shiny with a chemical smell. The visibility is blinding from a glare in bright days and also night driving makes visibility difficult. The chemical cannot be cleaned off and nothing helps with the glare the dash is causing
my vehicle dashpad has suddenly begun to slowly melt and has become very sticky and shinny, the shininess causes a constant glare on the windshield, making it difficult and dangerous to drive especially during daylight hrs. I learned that there was a recall for this issues and contacted Toyota on 5/24/2021, and was told the recall for this issue expired in 2017, and there is nothing they will do for it now. I like to express that i purchased my vehicle in April of 2016, and was never notified of the recall, Toyota never sent me a letter informing me of the issue and i have taken my vehicle several time to the Dealer for other repair/maintenance prior to 2017 and was not informed of the recall by by them during that time. My case # with Toyota is 210524000564. i have searched the internet and also found that is a concerned issued with many other Toyota car owners. My vehicle is a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid.
My dashboard is becoming extremely sticky. It's becoming unsafe to drive when it's sunny out. There needs to be a recall. Has a lawsuit been filed yet for this manufacturer mistake?
I delivered the form letter from Toyota reporting that I should have my dashboard replaced, I took the letter to Toyota of richardson and was told the part would be ordered and I would be called. I was never called, I have tried every 3 months to resolve this and have the dash replaced but no one will return my request and it has been over 3 years now. I have left messages for service dept, service managers, and GM over the years without any call back
I have a 2008 Toyota Camry and the dashboard seems to be melting and making it hard to see on a sunny day. I have had the car for 4 years as it has gotten progressively worse. I was wondering how I can get the situation fixed as it is becoming dangerous for me to drive. What are my next steps as this has been a recall on my vehicle. Where can I get it fixed and how can I get this problem resolved?
Earlier this year I started noticing that the dashboard of my Toyota Camry 2008 has become sticky and shiny. Initially I thought it was because I didn't clean it. But as I tried to wipe and clean, it got worse because of the stickiness. It was only after I looked it up on google that I learned that dashboards should never become sticky and shiny in the first place. I never received any notice about my car being one of those models that have this issue.
The problem I am having with my 2008 Toyota Camry is that the dash is melting leaving a very shinny look to it. When the sun hits it reflects off the glass making it diffucult to see. At night the street lights and on comming traffice tighs also reflect making it difficult to see. Plus its very sticky and eveything that flys by dust lint hair will stick to my dash, very unappealing and dirty.
Car has always been garage kept and use windshield cover when located outside. Noticed the dash was very sticky and shiny after the car had been sitting outside. Called the dealer to ask about the problem. They said that they knew of the problem but that my car was no longer covered by warranty or by the warranty extension. They recommended that I file a complaint with Toyota corporate. I filed a complaint with Toyota who said they would investigate. I got a call today stating that they would not cover the vehicle. Don'Y know why they won't fix it since it is a known manufacturer's defect. They glare off the dash is so bad that it is difficult to see when driving. It's a real safety concern.
My dashboard is melting and is creating a very bad glare in sunlight or daytime operations. I called Toyota and they said there was an extended warranty but it's expired now.
Sticky dashboard where it is difficult to see out of window due to glare for a few year now. I don't remember getting any notifications from Toyota about this issue.it has been getting progressively worse over the years. They told me there is no recourse as the warranty ended at the end of 2017. I have multiple issues with the Toyota service departments with other recalls including the oil consumption and sun visors where they claim it isn't a problem. Toyota case # [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Vehicle noted to burn a tremendous amount of oil driving less than 1,200 miles. Contacted Toyota who indicated they did do an extension to fix the issue but I was too late. I never received the notification to learn they had an old address for me. I am now having to drive the vehicle cannot afford a new one and having to put oil in every 7-10 days.
The dash has become very sticky. Not only is this bothersome as I can not lay anything on it without it sticking such as parking passes and such nor can I use a sin visor because part of it stuck to the dash but it is also a safety issue. The sticky melted dash causes a bad glare and you can't see very well out of the windshield.
