TOYOTA DID A RECALL ON THE DASH OF THE CARS GETTING STICKY AND CRACKING. THEY INDICATED THEY WERE REPLACING ALL OF THESE AFFECTED. THIS NOTICE CAME TO ME IN 2015. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER, AUTOWAY TOYOTA IN CLEARWATER, FL. THAT I WAS 96 ON THE REPLACEMENT LIST WITH THEM. I JUST CALLED ONE YEAR LATER TO CHECK STATUS AND THEY SAID I WAS #89. THEY INDICATED THEY ONLY GET A FEW REPLACEMENT DASHES A WEEK AND THEY COULD GIVE ME NO ANSWER HOW MUCH LONGER IT WOULD BE. KEEP IN MIND YOU CANNOT SELL OR TRADE THE CAR GIVEN THE CRACKED DASH. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY SAID THEY WERE ONLY PRODUCING A FEW NEW DASHES PER DAY AND THAT THEY HAD OVER 1 MILL. CLAIMS. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS ACCEPTABLE AND I WONDERED IF YOU COULD HELP OR WHETHER I SHOULD WRITE TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
