Recently called up a dealer regarding this said problem. I was simply cleaning my dashboard with an armour all cloth, and to my surprise the cloth got stuck on the dashboard. I didn't even realise it was sticky until now. It has left an ugly mark and has ruined this part of the dashboard, leaving white marks etc due to the friction and stickiness of the dash when I wiped over. I have inspected the majority of the dash and it is beginning to melt in other places also. I have a small glare in the windshield also that I did not realise was the result of the dashboard until finding this to be a common problem. The dealer has simply fobbed me off as most of you were told also, stating that it was out of warranty and that I would have to pay a certain amount for the dashboard to be replaced - he did state that they would pay for some of the labour or part, but not all. I believe, considering the recent recall in American, with constant petitioning and persistence, that Toyota Australia will have to make a decision as to what they want to do for their customers. I believe starting a petition through this website: "https://www.change.org/start-a-petition" - will help all of us camry/aurion owners in achieving the desired result - that is, to be treated fairly as a consumer. This is a MANUFACTURING fault and under Australian consumer law is completely unacceptable. This should not continue and I foresee in the future that there will be a recall for these dashboards - so long as enough people come forward and file a complaint. Do not pay to get it replaced yet, wait it out - continue to hassle Toyota until they honour their company's mission and provide us with the customer service we not only deserve, but paid for. Anyone with the same problem, please keep me updated as to what happens with your dashboard.
