| Description of the problem | Dash appears to be melting. Car was purchased in tulsa in 2011 while i was living in arkansas... Moved to kansas in july 2013 and noticed in august that my dash appears to be melting. Car has been most exclusively parked in garage.... This slick, wet like appearance causes glare on windshield making it hard to see.... I took the car to state line nissan in kansas city, mo last week and they dismissed the issue even though i am still covered by a nissan warranty. |
