NHTSA Complaint #10762725 — 2006 SUBARU OUTBACK

FALL OF 2011 I STARTED TO NOTICE A FILM, WHICH WAS ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD, THIS FILM WAS OF STICKY SUBSTANCE AND IT WAS MAINLY OR MORE NOTICEABLE ON THE PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD THAT WERE MOST DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY THE SUN. THIS FILM WAS OF SUCH STICKINESS THAT HAIR, DUST PARTICLES, PAPER, OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD COME IN CONTACT WITH IT WOULD GET TRAPPED AS IF IT WAS FLY PAPER. I DID EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAD BEEN DONE IN ORDER TO IF NOT ELIMINATED, TO MAKE IT ACCEPTABLE AND NOT SO STICKY AND GLUE LIKE. I WENT TO THE SUBARU DEALER, WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, IN ORDER TO GET SOME RE-DRESS TO THIS PROBLEM, IN SEVERAL OCCASIONS I WAS TOLD THIS FILM, THIS STICKINESS CAME FROM USING ARMOR ALL, THAT IT MUST COME FROM SOME PRODUCT I MUST HAVE USED ON IT. WELL, NOTHING EVER CAME OUT OF MY MANY VISITS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER, AS THE LAST RESORT THE LAST TIME OF MY VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I INSISTED ON THEM OPENING A CASE SO SUBARU HEADQUARTER WOULD BE AWARE OF IT, AFTER I CALLED AND OBTAIN A COMPLAINT #, THE SUBARU DEALER IN SANFORD WAS NOTIFIED AND THEN THEY MADE THE APPT TO TAKE THE PICTURES, THIS WAS SOMETIME THIS YEAR MARCH OR APRIL, ABOUT A WEEK OR SO LATER, I WAS CONTACTED BY THE SUBARU REGIONAL OFFICE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE WENT ON TO EDUCATE ME BY TELLING ME THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY,THEY HAD NO COMPLAINT OF STICKY DASHBOARDS ON RECORD, AND 3RD THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIME I WENT TO THE DEALER OR HEADQUARTERS, I WAS NOT GOING TO GET MY DASHBOARD FIXED OR REPLACED. IN CLOSING THUS LET ME SAY, THAT ANOTHER JAPANESE COMPANY TOYOTA HAS ALREADY OWNED UP TO THEIR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE STICKY AND SHINNY DASHBOARD ALSO REFERRED TO AS MELTING DASHBOARDS: HTTP://MECHANICS.STACKEXCHANGE.COM/QUESTIONS/14613/WHY-IS-MY-TOYOTA-DASHBOARD-SHINY-AND-STICKY-AND-HOW-DO-I-CLEAN-IT
