Description of the problem	The dashboard on my car is sticky and gooey and reflects sunlight glare that makes it almost impossible to see through when sunny. I am short and have to sit and stop between the glare where there is a small area that doesnt obstruct my vision. I also have cracks around steering wheel and stereo areas and have chunk of the dashboard now revealing the foam underneath. The rest of the car is in mint condition other than the dash. I reported to nissan and they told me to get estimate to get fixed. I still have received no response on what they are doing but the estimate came in at over 2500 and i cant afford to shell out that kind of money. The problem is getting worse and spreading quickly. I just paid off the car in february this year and it began to show signs of glare at that time. The sticky started around november or and i thought it was our fault until i saw a story about the melting dashboards on our local news and the pictures were exactly as my car showed. I am most concerned with the glare as i feel it is a definite safety hazard and it is getting worse. I have tinted windows and have always kept my car in the garage but it hasnt eliminated or slowed the issue. *js
