When the dashboards become exposed to heat and sunlight it converts into a vicious, sticky and reflective surface that projects a glare onto windshield obstructing the driver's view, thus endangering everyone on the road. I purchased the vehicle in missouri but came special order from texas according to my…

Dash pad, which also covers the passenger air bag is now cracked, and is sticky. I know that nissan settled with florida residents for this problem, however, other cars are affected. In southeast texas, we have just as much, if not more heat that seems to be causing failure of the dash cover. We are now afraid to drive the car, as since it is cracked and sticky, we do not know if we will be properly protected with…

The dashboard seems to be melting. The material is becoming sticky and can easily be peeled off, almost like playdough. Also in some areas it produces a glare and is very bothersome and if it continues to get worse will even become quite dangerous as it sort of blinds the driver to some degree.

Since purchasing the vehicle in 2014, the dashboard has been continuously melting and cracking to the point where the glare from the black melted dashboard has severely decreased visibility. Additinally, as more cracks have appeared the car no longer recognizes when a passenger is in the passenger seat and shows the airbag as 'off.'
