| Description of the problem | Takata recall - my dash has such a bad glare i have to place something over it so i can see safely. The dash is melting so much i cannot even get it cleaned because the dash wipes off with the cleaning rags. It is melting into my sun visor and has a strange odor in the car. This is ridiculous that consumers have to suffer and be blinded, this is a major safety issue esp early in the morning when the sub is so bright! The dash is peeling off in places as well, it pops up and has pieces coming off or wiping off as if they were boiled and very fragile. I have attached photos of the glare, the stickiness that makes everything stick to it and you cannot clean the dash at all or it smudges off as mentioned earlier. The photos also show the dash is melting into my sun shades. |
