NHTSA Complaint #10816638 — 2010 MAZDA MAZDA6

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2010 MAZDA 6 IS MELTING INTO A STICKY, SHINY SUBSTANCE WITH A TAR-LIKE APPEARANCE. IN SUNNY WEATHER THE REFLECTIONS CREATED BY THE METED DASHBOARD SEVERELY AFFECT MY VISIBILITY OUT OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN TAKING RIGHT-HAND TURNS I OFTEN NEED TO CRANE MY NECK TO SEE AROUND THE BRIGHT REFLECTIONS CREATED ON MY WINDSHIELD FROM THE AFFECTED DASHBOARD MATERIAL, WHICH IS ABOUT 1 SQUARE FOOT IN SIZE. I HAVE TROUBLE SEEING PEDESTRIANS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR DUE TO THE REFLECTIONS. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN OFF THE STICKY MATERIAL TO NO AVAIL. THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS MAKING ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, BOTH ON THE ROAD, HIGHWAY, OR EVEN IN A PARKING LOT.
