Consumer Description

WHEN YOU SPEND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A CAR, YOU DON'T EXPECT IT TO LITERALLY MELT AWAY. MY 2006 LEXUS IS 250 IT'S LITERALLY MELTING AWAY, EVERY DAY. THE DASHBOARD AND SIDE PANELS ARE TURNING STICKY AND MELTING IN THE FLORIDA SUN. WHEN I TOUCH THE DASHBOARD MY FINGERS STICK AND TURN BLACK. IT MAKES ME MAD!! EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR I WORRY THE MELTING DASHBOARD COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THE DASH REFLECTS THE SUN FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND IT CAUSES THIS REFLECTION SO IT SOMETIMES BECOMES HARD TO SEE. *JS
