“I own a 2003 infinity FX45 awd. About june 2007 the steering wheel started to peel and breakdown and become sticky. So I put a wheel cover. Problem covered up. Thought nothing of it until about a month ago I noticed a crack on the dash in the corner by the speaker in the center of the dash. Then the next time I noticed a crack by the corner of the left dash speaker, then the next time the right dash speaker. Now I noticed a crack by the far right air conditioner vent on the dash. The dash is cracking apart in front of my eyes. I have a friend that has a 2006 with the same dash problem. …”
