Description of the problem | About six months ago i noticed that the dashboard on my toyota looked very shiny and felt very sticky. As the months went on i noticed that when the car was left in the sun the dashboard became extremely sticky, and when touched, the melted material stuck to my fingers. The dashboard is literally melting., it is difficult to drive in the daylight in the bright sun, as the shine from the dashboard forms a glare on the windshield. This makes it difficult to read signs or see the traffic lights. I live in florida where it is hot and sunny most of the time. I feel that this is a safety hazard. |
