Consumer Description

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN JUNE 2013, AND NOTICED IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 IT STARTED TO BECOME STICKY ON THE DASHBOARD AS IF IT IS MELTING.. DIDNT REALLY BECOME AN ISSUE UNTIL IT BEGAN TO GLARE INTO MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING ME TO BE UNABLE TO SEE. I CANNOT CLEAN, OR TOUCH ANY PART OF THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT IS SO MELTED AND STICKY IT STICKS TO MY HANDS IF I DO. IT IS IN MY DIRECT VIEW OF WHERE I SHOULD BE LOOKING TOWARDS THE ROAD. HUGE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
