Description of the problem | i have a 2009 camry xle with the sticky dash issue! The dash is turning into a glue like substance. It also has a noticeable smell when it is hot out where the dash is letting off fumes. There is a glare which is amplified from his issue. Im not sure if the fumes are toxic but i have to keep the windows open to air it out when i 1st get in. When i purchased the car i even bought the extended warranty from toyota and a interior warranty! Well guess what! Its not covered! The interior trim warranty by perma plate states it covers cracked staining or faded dash and trim not sticky! I was told this is a manufacturing defect where the glue is coming through the dash. I went to the dealer and they told me to call toyota customer service ! I call and got the standard sympathy statement of its out of warranty! To try to get a discount from your dealer? Well i bought this car in maine, moved to florida in 2010 so yes there is a local dealer but not where i bought this car. |
