| Description of the problem | I live in south florida and the dashboard has been melting. It's a hazard and it produces a glare in the windshield and interferes with visibility. I'm afraid that an accident is going to happen because i cannot see clearly due to the glare. Someone is going to get hurt. The dashboard is also sticky to the touch and pieces are starting to come away from the dashboard. |
