This article is not to complain about the sticky / melted dashboard, broken visors, and the excessive oil consumption of my 2009 Camry that I am also a victim on. This is to complain about the melted / fallen black plastic cover of the trunk switch. Although I live in Dallas, Texas, my Camry is mostly (80%) garage-parked and does not expose to the directly sunlight 80% of the days. I noticed the black plastic cover of the trunk switch slowly became elongated, loose, and finally fell off.

I went to the part department of the local Toyota dealer trying to buy a replacement plastic. The guy told me that it is a fairly common problem Camry, Prius, Corolla from 2006 to 2010. He received inquiry just about 1-2x per day. Toyota does not sell just the plastic cover but the entire switch assembly which cost over $200.

I have become very disappointed with Toyota exhibiting so many "plastic-related" issues such as the melted dashboard. I understand that Toyota has offered to replace the sticky dashboard. When will Toyota accept this defect of the melted trunk switch. Toyota, I am losing my respect to you as an icon for reliability, and low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Please do something for me to stay with you.

Toyota should supply an extended warranty to cover this. Seems their quality is going down hill. Customers have to touch this sticky, deteriorating cover to open their trunk lid. It is disgusting!
