Problem overview

Some Toyota Solara owners report experiencing issues with dashboard cracking, despite taking precautions such as using windshield covers to protect against heat and sun exposure. These cracks can appear even with proper care, leading to concerns about the vehicle's interior quality. Toyota has acknowledged this problem in the past, with some rumors suggesting coverage for dashboard replacements for certain model years, specifically 1998-2008. However, many owners have found that this extended warranty may have expired, and they were not notified about it, resulting in dealers potentially not offering free replacements for older vehicles. If you are dealing with a cracked dashboard in your Toyota Solara, it is advisable to contact your local Toyota dealer to check on any available warranty coverage or options for repair.
