Description of the problem	Around june 1, 2012, i noticed a few spots that looked shiny on my dashboard in the middle section above the air vents. I did not think much of it at first. However, it got progressively worse, little by little. By june, 2013 it started to project a glare on the front window when the sun hit it . Living in florida, it can be blinding at times. My husband noticed that it was sticky to the touch. In may 2013, i was diagnosed with hodgkin's lymphoma and needed to take off work for chemo and radiation. I called ferman nissan in oct. To inquire if any other owners were having the same problem. The service person i spoke with dismissed me and said it would be over 1000 to replace and i was probably responsible for it. I said i was concerned if toxic fumes could be released when the dash is heated, and he said no and took no responsibility for it. In feb. When i was finished with my treatments, i began inquiring with nissan corporate. I am worried that the dash could be toxic for me, when the dash heat up, not to mention the dangerous glare. I was told to get a quote from the dealer, which i did on february, 11, 2014. It said "dash looks like it's melting." estimate 1619. 46 plus tax and supplies to replace dash. When i faxed nissan corporate, they still did nothing after making me get the quote. I was so frustrated . Then action news 10 did a segment on the melting dash problem and exposed the fact that the issue is very common. Please assist me with this situation, as i am worried to continue to drive the car this way in the hot florida sun.
