9 reportsMELTING DASHBOARD MAKES THE SURFACE STICKY AND SHINY. THE STICKY SURFACE MAKES EVERYTHING STICK AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN. THE SHINY SURFACE CREATES A GLARE PROBLEM ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN OR LIGHT HITS. THAT GLARE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AND CREATES A TEMPORARY BLIND SPOT.
CRACKING OF DASH. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH VERY DARK GLASSES AND IT DID NOT PREVENT THE ISSUE. CRACKING HAS CONTINUED ALL OVER DASH.
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND MELTING. SOME SMALL GLARE WHILE DRIVING IS NOTICEABLE AS IT WORSENS. INFINITY MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO OWN UP.
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…

NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE LACK OF QUALITY, SPECIFICALLY IN THE 2008-2009 DASH BOARD COMPONENTS OF THE INFINITI G37.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE MELTING DASHBOARD GLARES INTO THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING DIFFICULTY TO SEE DOWN THE ROAD.

VEHICLE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN VARIOUS AREAS. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I STARTED NOTICING CRACKS CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE DASH WHERE THE DOOR AND THE DASH MEETS. CRACKS CAN BE FOUND AROUND THE A/C VENTS, ABOVE THE LCD DISPLAY, AND ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE NEXT TO THE LCD DISPLAY. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED KEPT AND DRIVEN ONLY A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THE WEEK SO, I'M EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTED HOW POORLY THE DASHBOARD IS HOLDING UP. I'VE OWNED A RANGE ROVER, COUPLE LEXUS AND A MERCEDES AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH AN ISSUE. TODAY I SUBMITTED SEVERAL PICTURES TO INFINITI AND AWAITS THERE RESPONSE. I WILL UPDATE THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE END RESULTS. *TR
THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 INFINITI G37 COUPE IS MELTING. THE GLARE OFF THE DASHBOARD IS DANGEROUS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR
STICKY AND SHINY DASHBOARD - MY DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY. STICKY TO THE POINT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE MELTING. SHINY TO THE POINT THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DUE TO THE GLARE COMING OFF OF THE DASHBOARD. SUNGLASSES DO NOT EVEN HELP WITH THE GLARE. THE MATERIAL AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME WILTED…

STICKY AND SHINY DASHBOARD - MY DASHBOARD HAS BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY. STICKY TO THE POINT THAT IT SEEMS TO BE MELTING. SHINY TO THE POINT THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DUE TO THE GLARE COMING OFF OF THE DASHBOARD. SUNGLASSES DO NOT EVEN HELP WITH THE GLARE. THE MATERIAL AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME WILTED. THIS ALL STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IS GETTING WORSE. *TR
MY DASHBOARD IS MELTED. OBVIOUS DEFECT OF THE MANUFACTURER... IT'S STICKY AND SHINY WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO SEE AND PAY ATTENTION WHILE I'M DRIVING. I SAW THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE PROBLEM FROM MY LOCAL NEWS STATION AND DECIDED TO FILL THIS OUT. *JS
