Consumer Description

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD OF MY 2010 MAZDA3 IS MELTING! THE MAJORITY OF IT HAS MELTED INTO A THICK TAR LIKE SUBSTANCE; THE REST OF IT HAS BECOME VERY SOFT, WITH A STICKY THICK GLUE LIKE TEXTURE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN A FEW OF THESE MELTING DASHBOARDS BUT I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT MAZDA & IT PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE COVERED. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE TAR LIKE "POOL OF GOO" HAS STARTED A SLOW THICK BLACK DRIP OF LIQUID DASHBOARD STREAMING TOWARDS ONE OF THE VENTS. THE GLARE OF MY "EBONY OASIS" ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT & VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING. COMBINE THE BLAZING TEXAS SUN & HOUSTON TRAFFIC WITH THAT AND IT'S BEYOND WHAT ANYONE SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK... SO I CAN PAY FOR THE CAR THAT'S LITERALLY MELTING AROUND ME! IF A MANUFACTURER'S VEHICLE CAN'T TAKE "THE (TEXAS) HEAT" THEY SHOULD STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN... I MEAN MARKET! *JS
