Friday at 10 pm, me and my family were coming from visiting family.. I left around 10pm I started the car, drove like about half a mile, when I told my wife I smell something burning I opened the windows then I looked at my side door (driver) it was on fire, .. I pulled over to the side to get my family out ,....then I got a bottle of water that I had on the truck...and used to put out the fire on the driver side door...when I pulled over I hit one of the sign pole on the street ..right fender was damage..
I have a 2009 toyota camry and realized that my dashboard is beginning to melt. There is a very sticky residue on the dashboard and it will not come off. I also have tried calling toyota but haven't gotten any where with the replacement of my dashboard. I would just like to have my dashboard replaced. It also creates a terrible glare in the day time and it obstructs your vision. At this point its a safety concern. When will they replace these dashboards???
