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. I KNOW OF OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUE - THEIR DASH WAS MADE OF SAME MATERIAL AS MINE.
