| Description of the problem | I noticed about 6 months ago, that there was a shiny sticky substance on my dashboard and it has been getting worse as the months go by. It has gotten to a point that it is dangerous for me to drive my car because of the glare that it produces off my windshield. I can't even put something over the dash, cause it will stick and tear the dash board apart, if it moves. This is not only a hazard to myself, but to anyone else in my car and to other drivers. I pointed it out to a representative at nissan dealership months ago and he said he didn't know what was causing it, he couldn't help me. I feel its a defective type material and i'm sure its also not a healthy breathing environment for me. |
