| Description of the problem | My dashboard is very sticky and shiny. I have tried unsuccessfully to clean it, and it is only getting worse. When driving during the day the sticky/ shiny surface causes a glare on the windshield and makes it difficult to see while driving. I learned earlier today that there was a recall for my car regarding this issue, however there was an expiration date to have this repaired which has already passed. Therefore in order to have this fixed i will have to pay $1700 out of pocket. That is ridiculous. I am the original owner of this car and its ridiculous that i have to pay to fix a defect that is no fault of my own, but is the fault of the manufacturer. I did not receive a recall notice, if i had i would of had it replaced accordingly. This dash is a safety issue. I cannot properly see out of the windshield. There should not be an expiration date on fixing a safety issue! |
