I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 11/2010. ABOUT 3 YEARS LATER, THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY. I THOUGHT IF WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. AS TIME PASSED IT GOT WORSE AND IT'S CAUSING A VERY BAD GLARE. I WAS SEARCHING THE WEB TO SEE WHAT CAUSES THIS AND CAME ACROSS AN ACTION SUIT AGAINST TOYOTA FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD THE PROBLEM WITH MY SUN VISORS CONTINUOUSLY DROPPING. THIS TOO WAS A PROBLEM MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. I CALLED TOYOTA TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE "LIST". I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY TO SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF AND "IF IN THE FUTURE, THEY RECEIVE A CHANGE, THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME. I FIND THIS DISTURBING THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" YET I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS ARE HAVING, I DO NOT QUALIFY TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I WANTED TO PASS THE CAR DOWN TO MY SON, BUT BEFORE I DO, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEMS I'M HAVING WHICH WILL COST OVER 900.00. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND WILL NOT BE BUYING MY FUTURE CAR FROM TOYOTA.

Jan 16, 2013

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia.
