Dashboard sticky and surface deteriorating especially since housed in 80-90 westher; customer unable to correct problem. Becoming a safety issue and a gross devaluation of asset.
The rear windshield is tinted. It has deteriorated so much that I can not see through it while in drivers seat. It is extremely blurry and translucent. At night time it is all streaked light reflections. This condition is a severe safety hazard. The tint film has bubbled. Noticed it happen last year but now it has become worst.
Mold negligence - issue originated around 10,000 miles as dealership records indicate. Dealership replaced air filter as the repair. However, supposedly, the tsbs suggested that a moldy mildew smell may develop from the HVAC components. The carpet was not pulled back and inspected until a formal complaint was made with Toyota national. Mold was present and photographed. Additionally, other areas of the car were subject to other forms of water leaks and separate mold formed there also. Consumer suggestion of a moisture sensor in the low points of the body to notify the owner of an issue via a warning light. Car is unsafe to drive as odors are noxious and irritating and affect breathing respirations and overall health issues resulting in persistent cough. Toyota national recently inspected and confirmed but rejected buyback or compensation. Filing with NHTSA to document mold issues with 2010 model for legal references if Toyota does not offer replacement and buyback.
Dash is sticky, melting, breaking down, and deteriorating since June 2017. No recall notice from Toyota. I had no idea that they had a lawsuit because of this issue until I researched to see if others had same problem. I just thought it was from the heat until I wasn't able to clean it or remove the stickiness and it was getting worse by the day. Fearful to drive my car, as the dash has been compromised. Anything that touches it leaves an imprint or indention. Anything that touches it sticks to it. When your diving there is glare from the residue that has been broken down and since everything sticks to it and you can't clean it off that makes it hard to drive because of the glare. Toyota has replace several dashes, but hat about the ones that have broken down after there time frame has elapsed" mine din't have any issues until after their time frame expired, so I'm I just out of luck and I'm supposed to repair their inferior product? I'm worried that if I were in an accident that the dash would just crumble and not protect my family or myself. I need help, I'm fearful to drive my car, but I have to since it's my only one. Shouldn't Toyota have sent out a recall notice to everyone that was affected"

The sun visors breaks and will not stay up creating a floppy sun visor in the down position which is a safety issue especially when it is the driver's sun visor. I have read this is a problem with thousands of camries and it is not a recall and Toyota will not fix unless your organization makes it mandatory
Dash board is sticky and melting. Called Toyota because found warranty information and they said their warranty expired in May 2017. In may, my dashboard was fine. Today's date is August 22, 2017. Does Toyota know exactly how long the dashboard lasts and terminate their warranty a month prior. Car is not drivable due to shiny reflection of sun.
I have a 2010 Toyota Camry, and this is the 3rd time I'm having to replace the visors in the car. The last replacement only 3 years ago (July 2014). The springs keep breaking, and the visors will not stay up nor will they stay all the way down. Therefore, it is obstructing my visibility while driving. I have never driven with my visors down. The only reason I ever put them down is when I put a thin little shade in the windshield while at work. Of all the vehicles I have ever owned, I have never had to replace visors, much less 3 times.
Driver side visor does not stay up but falls into view of driver obstructing visibility. Toyota recalled but it recurred with 12 months. Serious problem as it happens at all speeds, including highway speeds. It cost $200 to repair and repair will be delayed for many causing hazard on highway. Toyota acknowledged problem by recall but advises that they will fix problem only once.
Although we did not notice it at first, as the summer wore on the dash became more of a problem. I was headed from North Carolina to Ohio for my grandmother's funeral when I noticed the problem was more than just a sticky dashboard. When driving at night the glare from the dashboard reflects on the window creating a significant hazard when driving. Not exactly an ideal time to find out the car you had recently purchased was barely drive-able at night!
"takata recall" I have a 2010 Toyota Camry. August 2016 I started noticing that the sun visor on the divers side was slightly retracting back into position (half position). By September 2016, it was no longer retracting at all making it hard for me what was going on around me in traffic. By the end of September 2016, the visor is completely off.
I feel like your dealership lied3 sales men has been fired on the count of this situation I dont like the deal or warranty thathat was offered due to the color of my skin
The dash is lifting in the same such manor from other recalls from other vehicles that had the recall and I believe this should be under that recall as from the heat it make the dash start to lift in spots
