Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 INFINITY FX45 AWD. ABOUT JUNE 2007 THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO PEEL AND BREAKDOWN AND BECOME STICKY. SO I PUT A WHEEL COVER. PROBLEM COVERED UP. THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASH IN THE CORNER BY THE SPEAKER IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH. THEN THE NEXT TIME I NOTICED A CRACK BY THE CORNER OF THE LEFT DASH SPEAKER, THEN THE NEXT TIME THE RIGHT DASH SPEAKER. NOW I NOTICED A CRACK BY THE FAR RIGHT AIR CONDITIONER VENT ON THE DASH. THE DASH IS CRACKING APART IN FRONT OF MY EYES. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS A 2006 WITH THE SAME DASH PROBLEM. THEY MUST HAVE USED INFERIOR PRODUCTS FOR THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL. I USE A SUN REFLECTOR WHEN PARKED AND MY WIFE PARKS UNDER A COVERED GARAGE. SO ITS NOT LIKE WE DID NOT TRY AND PREVENT A PROBLEM. I HAVE LIVED INFLORIDA OVER 30 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A DASH BOARD CRACK. IT IS A SHAME BECAUSE IT IS AN EXCELLENT RUNNING CAR. I WOULD THINK INFINITY WOULD WANT TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT MAY BE A LARGE SCALE PROBLEM IF OTHER OWNERS ARE NOTIFIED. THANK YOU *TR
