My 2010 Toyota Camry LE dashboard is physically sticky, extremely shiny, & material of dashboard is melting & breaking down. It produces fumes at higher temperatures & seems to add fog to glass.The entire dashboard material is impacted. It has drip marks, bubbling, and erosion & getting worse. The area where the passenger airbag would deploy from is impacted, as well as overall integrity of physical dashboard across entire dashboard. The vehicle is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others is being put at risk by the following: Multiple significant safety issues for driver & passengers from dashb1) visibility issues from extreme glare onto windshield result in blinding and/or distractiing driver, 2) Integrity of dashboard material is compromised (spongy, sticky, breaking down & worse with heat in normal conditions of use) 3) the dashboard is impaired where airbag would deploy from, 4) exposure to chemical fumes and particles from dashboard materials continues as it breaks down. I had Toyota Dealership Service Manager to view & inspect this dashboard in person on [XXX]. The service manager sat in driver seat and observed problem with extreme glare, touch to confirm stickiness, and I pointed to example of drips of melting dashboard, small pieces chipped & eroded from dashboard. The service manager also confirmed the passenger airbag does deploy from the dashboard (when asked). The toyota service manager then checked for recall or service program related to this issue. A customer service program would have replaced this for free - but showed as expired. I was then provided an estimate for dashboard replacement of $3128. This is serious defect that demands a safety recall. It impacts the safety and integrity of my vehicle and others on the road in the U.S. My vehicle only has 75,560 miles. No sensors or warning lights exist for dashboard material I'm aware of. The problem has been evolving overtime and getting worse. Merits safety recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF I
SRS warning light and trac control warning light and seat belt warnings for both passenger and driver flashing. I checked online and couldnt figure out the codes. I figured out that this was blowing fuse 29 on the car as soon as the ignition is turned on. I went to the local mechanic shop, ali automotive in santa clara, ca. They read the codes and the faults displayed are the steering angle sensor fault and passenger classification system fault (if I recall correctly). As the air bags are no longer active this is a safety issue. The fault came on while just after turning into parking spot in the parking lot at the corner of lawrence and prospect. The mechanic advised that they need to check the vehicle but it was likely the air bag clockspring is shorting as they've replaced this on a number of cars. Checking online it seems that Toyota has a recall on the air bag clock spring on some models but I didnt see one of the Camry. Also a number of reports online of consumers changing the clocksprings. So this is a fairly common complaint and a safety hazard. Please assist to investigate asap. This car is also used by our teenage son and I'd like to ensure that it is safe. Thank you.

"takata recall" I was involved in an accident in motion on a city street. My steering wheel air bag did not deploy. Only small pieces of the air bag were seen at the edge of the steering wheel. I did not take a photo. My vehicle was totaled so there may have been some documentation with insurance company. I had new tires put on my car 10 days earlier and I believe my tire pressure maintenance system malfunctioned. My tire pressure light was blinking and I was unable to stop my car when I approached a traffic light.

My airbag light turned on in my car. I took it to the dealer and they said that water was leaking from the HVAC system onto the airbag control unit and shorting it out. This was because the drain from the HVAC system was clogged and condensed water was not draining out onto the ground as designed. Instead, it built up and then leaked onto the airbag control unit. This exact problem was recalled on other model years of Toyota Camry.
