| Description of the problem | I am another very frustrated melting dashboard owner as this has been happening for some time and is getting worse. The dashboard is very sticky(if you leave something on the dashboard for any length of time it becomes stuck). The dashboard is also shiny and produces a glare. When you drive into the sun. The glare makes it very hard to see oncoming traffic. It is a definite safety hazard. I'm also concerned about the fumes and potential carcinogens being omitted that may pose additional health risks to myself and passengers. I stopped by my local south florida dealership and was told that i was basically out of luck as it is past the warranty provided(?) by nissan. |
