The dash of my 2008 nissan altima coupe has melted so severely that it's almost impossible to drive in the daytime. the material once melted becomes extremely sticky and dangerously reflective. what i mean by reflective, is that when the sun shines, it reflects so much light from the dash to the front windshield right into my, the driver, eyes. the reflections are extremely and dangerously blinding which makes it very difficult to see the road or anything else for that matter! not to mention the glue like surface that makes it impossible to put something on the dashboard to try reducing the deadly reflections! the manufacture's defective product is extremely dangerous to the direct safety of myself and my family and every other motorist, pedestrians, animals etc.

My entire dashboard has started to disintegrate. i noticed it started to get shiny and sticky by the window and it is now the entire thing is so soft i can slightly press my finger nail into the plastic and it will actually cut or gouge the plastic. i have never seen a cars dashboard do this. i only use water and a cloth to clean the dash and crack my windows in the summer to avoid extremely hot temps. it is like the sun has melted the dashboard but it doesn't matter how hot or cold it is it is always brittle.
