“My 2005 Infiniti G35 sedan's dashboard seems to be melting. I live in florida. During afternoon's, I see the dash is all shiny and sticky when touched. I get a glare when driving certain directions. I have another vehicle made by another manufacturer and in the exact same conditions, and I do not see this issue. The dealership when contacted mentioned they would not cover the repairs and that I was solely responsible for the charges which they said would amount close to $4000. The Infiniti consumer affairs when contacted, did nothing to address my concern. …”

“The dashboard in my car started melting sometime back while under warranty. It is sticky, gives a shine under sun and cannot be cleaned.

This is a manufacturer's defect. Please help resolve my issue.”
