“My garage kept 2008 g37s has a dash that has increasingly become shinier to the point that it has become dangerous to drive during the day when the sun is out. It is so reflective that it causes a tremendous glare on my windshield. This seemed to happen progressively over the last few years because when I bought the car 6 years ago it was not an issue. The dash itself is in one piece with no cracks but it is tacky like uncured rubber. If you put a fingernail in it lightly, that mark is now there to stay. This makes it impossible to clean or wipe down the dash due to running the finish. …”
NHTSA complaint #11156416, filed 2018-12, 60,000 miles“The material Infiniti uses for their dashboard has been melting from the heat. Because of this the car started getting a strong glare that blinds me from seeing the bottom half of the winshield. I almost got into an accident because I couldn't see the car on the left lane from the bottom corner of the winshield the dash is also very sticky because of this issue. I called Infiniti and even though a lot of owners are having this problem, Infiniti is just ignoring the situation and the repair to the dash is set right around 1000 bucks. That's insane!”
NHTSA complaint #10745662, filed 2015-08, 150,000 miles“Numerous consumers have been complaining about the lack of quality, specifically in the 2008-2009 dash board components of the Infiniti G37. There have been reports of melting and sticky dashboards as a result of poor build quality. This is a safety issue as the melting dashboard glares into the windshield while driving, causing difficulty to see down the road.”
NHTSA complaint #10779071, filed 2015-10, 74,000 miles“Dashboard has become tacky and highly reflective causing a severe glare when the sun hits it. Vehicle surges while coming to a stop. Enough to hit something if you do not have the brake pedal pressed abnormally hard.”
NHTSA complaint #11130568, filed 2018-09, 125,000 miles“The dash of the car is melting causing a shiny surface that reflects off the windshield causing a visual impairment. The dash is getting sticky as well and can no longer be cleaned. Any rag used sticks to the dash. Dash has also become very soft which causes imperfections to occur at the slightest touch. There was a class action lawsuit for this that apparently only covered the state of florida. Nissan agreed to replace dash and cover all cost except for $250. This should have been blanket coverage across all nissan/Infiniti models affected. …”
