| Description of the problem | The dashboard in the car is melting. The melting is very sticky and shiny. This causes a glare on the dashboard which is very bad in the louisiana sun, especially while driving into the sun, which i do every day on the way to and on the way back from work. This glare has almost caused me to get into several wrecks because it's hard to see. I have very sensitive eyes and i do wear sunglasses, but the glare is still very bright. There should be a recall on this issue as i see it's not an isolated issue and i would hate to get into a wreck because of it and possibly have someone or myself hurt or killed. |
