| 2007 model year toyota camrys were manufactured using a dashboard material that deteriorates with exposure to sunlight. specifically, the plastic becomes very shiny, very tacky, and easy to damage. when the sun angle is correct, the light reflects off the shiny plastic, and then reflects off the windshield into the driver's eyes, producing a glare that represents, in my opinion, a safety hazard. a considerable amount of plasticizer is also being deposited daily on the windshield inner surface, producing a whitish haze that reduces visibility and increases scattered light. numerous toyota camry (and some lexus) owners are reporting the same problem, primarily in locations that receive more sunlight (florida, texas, puerto rico, and hawaii, for example, as an internet search can easily show; to see a video, search on youtube for toyota camry sticky dashboard). some 2008 model year toyota camrys are beginning to show the same problem. note that 2007 was the first year of the redesigned camry model. much older camrys are not showing this problem, thus it seems clear that toyota switched to a different dashboard material starting with the 2007 model year, but only now is it becoming clear that the chosen material is inappropriate for the intended use. toyota has known about this problem for months, yet no safety recall has been issued as of this writing. | |||
