Twice: once in August and most importantly 09/07/2024 was slowing down to stop at a dry cleaners when the car reved up and accelerated forward. I continued to apply brakes all the way to the floor and couldn’t get it to stop, so ran into the businesses’s van. USAA paidfor repairs to both, but due to fears for my safety and life and those of others, I have not driven it since. I have had it towed for repairs and to be checked by an engineer sent by Toyota.and have had to rent or borrow or pay for rides up until now. The USAA sebt engineer came to check the car but decide the car was fine and Toyota would not offer help with replacement

I own a 2007 Toyota Camry Solara with less than 70,400 miles. It’s up to date on maintenance and is garaged. In December 2020, while garaged, my entire dashboard cracked without warning. After researching the condition, I learned that hundreds of Camrys and Solaras were affected and that Toyota replaced some dashboards under an extended warranty program… one such ZE6 program expired in August 2020. I was not notified. Despite the tremendous safety issue (the entirety of the car’s electronics sits beneath the dashboard including the airbags which, if deployed, can hurl dashboard pieces throughout the interior and blind and disfigure driver and passengers alike). Incredibly, neither Toyota nor NHTSA has issued a recall. Toyota Corp/dealership will do nothing at their expense. I Iive in fear that if my car is bumped or tapped, I’ll be maimed by flying dashboard debris; this puts my passengers and pedestrians at risk as well. Please help me get my dashboard replaced before something unthinkable happens. Thank you.

THIS PAST SUMMER (2020) THE DASH OF MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY GOT VERY STICKY AND MADE A REFLECTION ON MY WINDSHIELD MAKING VISIBILITY IMPAIRED WHICH IS A HUGE HAZARD. YOU CANNOT SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I RESEARCHED IT TODAY AND FOUND OUT TOYOTA EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT EXPIRED IN 2017. MY PROBLEM DIDN'T START UNTIL 2020. I WANT THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND REQUIRE TOYOTA TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.
