Description of the problem	The dashboard is literally melting and it started just 6 yrs into owning the car. When i contacted the company and showed them what was happening and how it can affect my visibility due to reflection they advised that what they were seeing in the pictures was due to "environmental exposure" and that repair would need to be covered by me. Honestly, i found that hard to believe considering the company has two existing class action lawsuits against them in other states for the same issue. I have never seen anything like it before, and have heard of competitors with the same issue actually doing a recall on their vehicles. This company however, does not seem like it wants to take the blame for their own poor manufacturing. So in the mean time i cover it with fabric in order to diffuse the problem in the mean time.
