My car sounds like it’s about to fall apart.

Dash becomes very sticky from sun and heat shining on it and produces a glare that causes blind spots and makes difficult to see out front window. Can't see what is out there depending on direction sun hits dash. If sun is coming from straight ahead makes a glare that is very difficult to see anything in front of you. Makes it difficult to see traffic lights or pedestrians which could cause dangerous harm to pedestrians, other drivers, or myself and passengers. Went to local Nissan dealer and was told the only fix would be to replace dashboard at my expense even though it is a common problem because there are no recalls on this issue. I purchased the vehicle used from another owner and was not aware of the problem and just thought it was something sticky that could be wiped off but found out it is a known problem when I went to dealer with issue.

MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT MELT AND BECOME SHINY, STICKY, AND REFLECTIVE WHEN EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT. SOFT, STICKY MESS! SHINY DASHBOARDS CAUSING DISTRACTING AND GLARING REFLECTIONS OFF THE WINDSHIELD. AS SOON IT WILL BE HOT AGAIN, I WILL AGAIN BE AFRAID TO DRIVE A CAR DUE TO THE WINDSHIELD GLARE FROM THE SHINY MELTED DASHBOARD. I HAVE NO PHOTOS OF THE SHINY PANEL, BECAUSE IT WAS LAST SUMMER, WHEN I WAS TAKING CARE OF A DYING HUSBAND, WHO PASSED AWAY LAST SEPTEMBER. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO TAKE PHOTOS OF THE CAR AND THINK ABOUT IT. BUT THE PANEL IS STILL STICKY. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM, THE DASHBOARD HAS A MANY CRACKS, PHOTOS THAT I CAN SHOW. SUCH A WELL-KNOWN MANUFACTURER USED THE WRONG MATERIAL FOR THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT, SO I DO NOT HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR REPLACING THE DASHBOARD. I DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR THIS, SINCE I ONLY GET SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK. IN ADDITION, WE RETIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015 AND MY CAR IS MOST OF THE TIME IN THE GARAGE. I AM THE ONLY ONE USING THIS CAR. THE MILEAGE OF THE CAR IS 51152 ML.
