Wavy dashboard normal?

On my 2019 Tundra, I noticed that the part of the dash closest to the bottom of the windshield dips down off center towards the passenger side. I took my truck in to the dealer for a different issue today and showed the service advisor. When I came back the SA said the tech said thats normal, its due to the airbag.. which I think is complete BS since there is no air bag in that part of the dash.

 

My 2013 is just like that. Dips in the middle of the far front edge of the dash, against the windshield. Always figured it was sag due to environmentals.

 

The dash is certainly one of the least appealing features on our trucks. Mostly because of all the damn noise it is capable of making. Mine looks the same but I think it’s just the angle playing tricks on our eyes. Sit in the passenger seat and look at it and it appears normal. Just the design IMO and nothing wrong with your truck in particular.

 

Yeah, several other new Tundras appeared the same.. a couple did not appear to have any dip.
Oh well, probably best not to let the service dept tear open the dash.. can only image the issues they would cause.

 

It is a narrow strip of plastic with no real support under it, so any difference in temperature is going to make it expand which gives it nowhere to go than up or down. Realistically they could have reinforced it better to prevent that, but I don't think that was their highest priority or concern when designing the truck.
Mine is a little wavy, but when I press down on the high point it seems to spread it out a little making it less obvious. I know it is like that, but it has not really bothered me too much.
So, I would say that it is normal, depending on each ones' definition of normal (vc. common vs typical vs acceptable etc.)

 

Great.. Now I have to look... Lol

 

Yep mine does it too. I think it was designed for pennies to roll down and get lodged in the dash

 

Yep. Mine too. But it appears the dash is curved and has a slope off instrumentation,etc. It appears “normal”.

 

Didn't @Elk Hunter complain of having a dash curved like a victoria secret model too??

Maybe there was some truth to that.

 

Ole @Elk Hunter, the dood is everywhere aint he?

 

At least your dash doesn’t sound like 2 dolphins having sex. And this is only going like 10mph. Sounds like a massive dolphin orgy when I’m going 30-40.

Does your dash creak like this when crusin' around the mall parking lot?

 

Lol. Only on the dirt. I took it to Dublin Toyota before it got this bad and they said the sound was coming from my aftermarket suspension. Bunch of idiots. My factory warranty is over at the end of the month so I’m taking it to Livermore Toyota on Saturday to get it fixed. I hope they’re not as incompetent there like Dublin.

 

I when to Dublin Toyota when I was looking for my Tundra - will not go back there ever. Hope that Livermore is able to take care of it. If not, I had good luck with Concord Toyota fixing my dash creak.

 

I thought the popping of my dash in my 2008 Tundra was bad.

Dang! That would drive me crazy.

Hope you get that fixed.

 

No wave in mine...

 

When I first bought my used '14, I pulled the service records for it, it was taken in for this issue, it said it was replaced

 

My 14 is warped like that too. I thought it was involved in accident but after seeing this I guess its normal

 

Where is that trail in the dolphin video?

 

That was a backroad to Sea World. Nah, that was from last weekend on the High Lakes trail near Chico, CA.

 

Dam, you made me look...mine is similar. It doesn't bother me though...

 

Damn it. Now I see that curve too. And i will see it..everytime I get in the truck....

 

Lmao.

 

Im going to take the center speaker out and stick some felt under it and see if that will fix it. I cant imagine thats how it was designed to be.

 

If you saw this in several Tundras, I would think it's normal. Not necessarily acceptable, but normal. I'm not a know it all, but I figure the big three + Nissan probably have similar or worse issues than this on their trucks. I wanna know who is gonna give you the 100% perfect truck?

 

I used Victorias Secret as a reference when figuring how curved my dash was! Big shout out to ELK!!!

 

Mis-shapen dashboard you say?

 

Damn, that’s messed up. Hopefully they will fix it for you.

 

I thought it was supposed to be that way. Jeez, I guess I got a lemon.

 

Upon further inspection (yes, I went outside to look) mine doesn't seem to dip that much. But definitely not straight.
