Consumer Description

I LEFT MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK, AND WHEN I CAME BACK THE DASHBOARD HAD MELTED. I LIVE IN SAN ANTONIO TX, AND IT WASN'T A PARTICULARLY HOT DAY BUT IT MELTED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. IT CREATES A VERY BAD GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IN MY OPINION, AND MANY OTHER CASES THAT I HAVE HEARD FROM IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
