Description of the problem	My dashboard is melting and creates an awful glare on the windshield - almost like shining a mirror at the sun. It's blinding at times when the sun hits it just right. The problem has progressively gotten worse over the span of a year. When it's extremely hot (nearly 100 out), the dashboard is almost like a thick goop that comes off on my fingers when i touch it. I haven't put any sort of chemical or wax on it as a nissan representative has suggested. Not only is this hazardous while driving, but i'm concerned there may be some harmful chemical (carcinogenic?) that i'm inhaling while in my car.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
