Description of the problem | I have been the sole owner of this camry. Back in 2015 i took it to a dealership for service and brought up to the technician that the dashboard was sticky. At the time they said there was nothing i could do about it and replacing it would cost me a lot of money. Now 4 years later i find out that there was a warranty enhancement that covered the dashboard. My dashboard is now so sticky that it is glistening. I tried to use a sun visor hoping it would slow the rate of melting but then my sun visor would stick to the dashboard. I place a hat on the dashboard once for 10 minutes and when i removed it there was black residue. Finally, i have a child now and when he gets into the car he has put his hands on the dashboard and gotten the black debris and chemicals on his hands and i am now concerned for his health and safety. There was also a warranty enhancement with the oil consumption. My spouse changes my oil for me and over the last several years commented that i was surprisingly very low on oil. I am wondering why i have not received any notice from toyota for either of these issues even though they claim notices were sent out. I have opened a case with toyota #1911082336. They tell me that i am out of the window for repair and it would now have to be out of pocket which is very frustrating considering i notified them of the dashboard issue before. |
