| Description of the problem | The dashboard started to melt and it is only getting worst. It is sticky ,you cannot clean or wipe. But the biggest problem is the extreme glare off the shiny melted surface. Despite hundreds of complaints, nissan said they didn't know about any dashboard melt. I am also not sure if there is a health risk. |
