The dashboard of my 2011 Toyota Camry SE is melting. It is extremely sticky. The glossiness from the dashboard melting impairs my view when driving because of the glare it gives from the sun reflecting. I am scared of my safety as I live on a tropical/hot island location.
My dashboard is melting & cracking. It is sticky to the touch and it\'s falling apart the glare from the melting dash is also an issue. I also have an issue with the drivers side vanity mirror it is broke and won\'t stay up. I had the same exact issues with my 2007 Camry and Toyota fixed the dash but they told me to go buy a new dashboard and pay for it myself for my 2011 they will not except blame and they will not help with the issues they pretty much told me tough luck. I am very upset with the condition of my dashboard and I am very upset at Toyota response to my issue.
The passenger and driver side sun visors fail to stow properly and have deployed unexpectedly while operating the vehicle on numerous occasions to the point it seemed safer to remove the visors. The adverse affect is now being blinded by the sun while driving.
I bought my car in 11/2010. About 3 years later, the dashboard became sticky. I thought if was because of the heat. As time passed it got worse and it's causing a very bad glare. I was searching the web to see what causes this and came across an action suit against Toyota for this problem. I also had the problem with my sun visors continuously dropping. This too was a problem many others were having with this model. I called Toyota to see what they can do and they stated that there was nothing they could do since my VIN # was not on the "list". I called the corporate office and they to said that there was nothing they can do. I will have to pay for it myself and "if in the future, they receive a change, they will reimburse me. I find this disturbing that since my car was not on the "list" yet I'm having the same problems other Toyota owners are having, I do not qualify to get my car fixed. I wanted to pass the car down to my son, but before I do, I have to pay for the problems I'm having which will cost over $900. I am extremely disappointed and will not be buying my future car from Toyota.

Driver's side sun visor became loose and will not stay up. Fell down into view when driving. Visor finally fell off the swing arm and it is due to a cracked/separated plastic housing within the visor that the swing arm inserts into.
Dashboard melting with sticky residue causing high reflection on to windshield during daytime driving that causes an unbearable glare.please advise on replacement procedures under the warranty extension.
Sun visor is falling down by its self, block my sight while driving. Its a very dangerous issue but I don't see any recall on this issued. Thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
My drivers side visor started hanging down and eventually had to be removed due to not being able to see out the windshield with it in my way. I reached out to Toyota and was informed that other 2007-2011 Camry had same issue but mine wasn't involved in the 7 year extended warranty for sun visors. I am now driving without a visor which is not safe!
Drivers side visor part broke and compromises drivers visibility. Driver bumps into visor with forehead when driving. Trunk latch at top was giving me trouble. Glove compartment doesn't always want to close very well. Foam around car door coming out. This has never happened to me before on any car I owned or have driven. This is obviously a defective part and should be replaced at Toyota corporation expense. I love driving a Camry but some of the parts inside are breaking and its disappointing. I used to have a 1994 Camry that I purchased used in 2004, and it never had any of these problems. I also bought the 2011 Camry used and love the way it drives. Vehicle was stationary.
Driver's side sun visor will not stay in place and blocks view of driver. I was told by local dealer that Toyota does not cover replacement or repair of this problem. Many others have posted similar problem on internet. This is an ongoing problem regardless of whether vehicle is stationary or in motion.
The visor of the vehicle has been dropping and now causing a safety hazard for me driving during the day and mostly at night as it hides half of my field of visibility when driving. I've called the dealership and Toyota headquarters and everyone keeps stating the VIN number falls out of the range for the extended warranty even though this link here says differently: www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2007-2011-Toyota-Camry-and-Camry-hybrid-sun-visor-warranty-extension-ztt.114/page-4 it says that there is an extended warranty for 7 years despite mileage for this dropping visor. It is affecting my driving on the road and being able to see because of their defect in visors for this car. I've tried taping it, pushing it back, forward, everything and nothing works. This visor defect has caused me anxiety while driving due to the lack of confidence in visibility not in my own self but in this Toyota vehicle. I am simply requesting them to change the visor for me and help me resolve this to help eliminate this safety hazard but it seems they do not care about Y safety or others on the road.
The sun visor on the driver side could not stay up and was eventually broken off completely which creates safety issue when the driver is facing the sun. Toyota previously offered extended warranty for Camry from 2007-2011 but my 2011 was not within the VIN range covered under extended warranty.
Dashboard is melting on my Camry 2011. Toyota has extended warantee on Camry 2011 affected vehicles to 2017. It refses to pya for mime vecause it says the this VIN is not covered. Who will pay for my melting dashboard.
The right visor was already hanging, would not stow, but while driving today the driver side visor snapped and was hanging in front of my face to where I could not see the road. It happened while driving, which was bad enough, but then I ripped the thing off so I could see. This really should not be happening. There are so many of these incidents, and apparently my vehicle is not included on the current list. Unacceptable.
I have a very bad case of sticky dash board when I called Toyota I told that my VIN number was not one of the recalls. I was told that I can take it to the dealer for an inspection and that I will have to pay for it. I don't understand how just some of the cars that are of the same year, make and model are recalled but my is not. My dash board is melting and Toyota need to take responsibility to correct this. I went to the before my car was still under warranty and was to told that that was ok and in the pass year the dash board is worst and I am have trouble driving due to the shine that glare on the glass is difficult to see as your driving. This is a serious problem and you can get in to an accident. This is during the daytime or night..
