ON MARCH 26,2020 I WENT TO DRIVE MY CAR. THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED, STICKY, AND MELTED THROUGHOUT. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED PRIORITY TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD (JOHN SERVICE MANAGER) THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT DUE TO THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION-ZE6 WHICH ENDED MAY 31, 2017. ALSO, I HAD OWNED THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS. HE WOULD REPLACE IT AT MY COST OF APPROX. $2200 BUT HE WOULD PROVIDE AN EXACT AMOUNT WHEN I DECIDED TO FIX IT. THEN I EXPLORED THE INTERNET TO SEE THE SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM. IT CAN LEAD TO VISIBILITY PROBLEMS (GLARE) AND PROBLEMS WITH THE DASHBOARD AIRBAGS. YESTERDAY, APRIL 7, 2020 I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER 1-888-2709371 AND SPOKE TO RANDALL WHO REPEATED WHAT JOHN HAD SAID, BUT ADDED THAT MY CAR WAS OLD AND NOT WORTH MUCH AND I HAD GOTTEN MY MONIES WORTH OUT OF IT. I ASKED WHO I COULD CALL NEXT AND HE SAID HE WAS THE END OF THE LINE. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE #[XXX] BUT CAN'T SEE TO READ IT FOR MYSELF. THE CAR HAS REMAINED IN MY GARAGE SINCE I SAW THE PROBLEM ON MARCH 26. IT IS GETTING WORSE. IT WAS LAST DRIVEN ON MARCH 5 WITH NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE A TOYOTA RAV 2017 FROM PRIORITY TOYOTA, HAMPTON, VA 757 838-5000.

YESTERDAY, JULY 26, 2015, I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL A SECOND LETTER FROM TOYOTA MOTOR SALES CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE DEPARTMENT REGARDING THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM - ZE6 CONCERNING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STICKY DASHBOARD OF SOME MAKE AND MODEL. MINE IS A 2006 TOYOTA SOLARA. IT'S RIDICULOUS WHY THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT IS ONLY FOR THE STICKY DASHBOARD WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND INSIDE DOOR PANELS ARE MADE OF THE EXACT SAME MATERIAL. THESE PARTS MUST BE COVERED AS WELL ESPECIALLY WE TOUCH THESE PARTS EVERY SINGLE TIME WE USE THE VEHICLE. ON MINE, I NOTICED THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE MATERIAL SINCE LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS WIPE CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF MY SOLARA. THIS WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT MUST BE EXTENDED TO FIX THE MATERIAL ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND DOOR PANELS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS BECAUSE I READ BLOGS AND THERE ARE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE EVEN ON LEXUS 2006. YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE WE PAY A LOT IN PURCHASING OUR VEHICLES AND WE DESERVE OUR MONEY'S WORTH.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2006 SOLARA IS MELTING AND SETS OFF A HIGH REFLECTIVE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE DASH IS STICKY TO TOUCH - CAN NOT BE WIPED CLEAN. THE DASH PANEL ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT IS CRACKING WHICH MAY EFFECT AIR BAG. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA - CASE # WITHHOLDING IN 2013 BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA SENT ME TO LOCAL DEALER. DEALER GAVE ME THE SAME ANSWER EVEN AFTER I HAD SEEN THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET. NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND WANTED $2200 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

DASH CRACKS WITHOUT REASON. NOT SURE HOW THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY ON THIS CAR BUT MAY POSE A HAZARD DURING DEPLOYMENT. ENERGY ABSORPTION MAY BE COMPROMISED BY THE MANY CRACKS. ONE OWNER, LOW MILES AND ALTHOUGH PARKED OUTDOORS ALWAYS USED A SUN SHIELD. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I'VE EVER OWNED WHERE THE DASH HAD CRACKED. *TR

IN AUGUST 2014, I NOTICED A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FROM THE BEGINNING EDGE OF THE DASH UP AN AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL. A MONTH LATER, AN ADDITIONAL CRACK APPEARED ON MIDDLE CONSOLE ENDING AT THE STEREO COMPONENT. CRACKS ARE INCREASING IN NUMBER AND LENGTH OVER TIME. CAR HAS HAD A SINGLE OWNER, GARAGED, WITH METICULOUS CARE. I'M CONCERNED THAT CRACK(S) COULD EVENTUALLY POSE A PROJECTILE PROBLEM IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND THE DASH COMES APART IN PIECES DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ADDITIONALLY, VERY DISAPPOINTED TO KNOW THIS WILL AFFECT RESALE VALUE, SOMETHING THAT MAKES OWNING A TOYOTA A REASON TO BUY IT INITIALLY. *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA SOLARA WHICH HAS A CRACKED DASH BOARD WITH A STICKY SUBSTANCE OOZING OUT. THE CAR IS GARAGED AND IN GREAT CONDITION OTHERWISE. IT WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR WERE ANY UNKNOWN MATERIALS APPLIED TO THE DASH. I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL ITEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE ARE COMPLAINTS AROUND THE GLOBE WITH THE TOYOTA DASHES. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL NOT EFFECT THE AIRBAG COMPONENTS. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT MY NEXT STEPS SHOULD BE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL AREAS AND THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE DAILY. I'VE CONTACTED TOYOTA MAIN HEADQUARTERS COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AND IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE, I HAVE HEARD AND SEEN MANY REPORTS THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM DUE TO USE OF INFERIOR PARTS USED BY TOYOTA AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS. CLASS ACTION SUITS HAVE BEEN INITIATED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.I WISH TO FORMERLY FILE MY COMPLAINT WITH YOUR AGENCY AS A POINT OF RECORD . INCIDENTALLY I HAD MAINTAINED A VERY EXPENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY POLICY FOR SIX YEARS AFTER MY PURCHASE AND IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT TOYOTA WASN'T AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO IT'S EXPIRATION. *JS

ENTIRE DASHBOARD CRACKED AND CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CRACKS ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD. MY SON HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIS 2006 SOLARA CONVERTIBLE TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO OURS. BOTH CARS WERE ALWAYS GARAGED AND HAD VERY FEW MILES ON THEM. MY SON HAD ABOUT 18,000 AND WE HAD ABOUT 16,000. WE BOTH CALLED TOYOTA AND WE WERE EACH TOLD IT WAS BEYOND WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

THE DASH PAD SURFACE STARTED TO BECOME DARK IN COLOR AND STICKY TO THE TOUCH IN THE SUNSHINE. THE DASH PAD MATERIAL WAS VERY SHINY AND STICKY TO THE TOUCH, ALMOST LIKE A LIQUID. THE GLARE FROM THE SHINY, STICKY SURFACE CAUSES A GLARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES THE CAR DANGEROUS TO DRIVE...AND A GREATER CONCERN ARE THE AIRBAGS IN THE DASH AFFECTED BY THIS SURFACE DETERIORATION. I TOOK THE CAR TO TWO LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS SEEKING RESOLUTION AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE SEEM NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SHORT OF MY PAYING APPROX. $1,500 TO REPLACE THE PART. CONTACT WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE HAD THEM TELLING ME I HAD DONE SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE SITUATION. TO-DATE THE CAR (MY WIFE'S VEHICLE) SITS INSIDE, UNDER A CUSTOM CAR COVER AND HAS LESS THAN 11,000 MILES...WE CONSIDER THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2010, IT HAD SOME CRACKS ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT ON THE DASHBOARD, WHICH I TOOK TO HAVE REPAIRED AT A COST OF ABOUT $300. SINCE THEN, THE CRACKS KEEP OPENING, TO THE POINT WHERE THEY WILL HAVE A SERIOUS IMPACT ON THE RESALE OF THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $2200 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND GOT AN ESTIMATE OF $2400!! TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH. NO HELP WHATSOEVER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY LEXUS AUTOMOBILES HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND NOW LEARN THAT THERE ARE 73 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SOLARA.
