NHTSA Complaint #10898239 — 2011 MAZDA MAZDA6

THE DASH OF MY CAR IS MELTING - A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE MAZDA 2011, AS WELL AS OTHER MAKES AND MODELS, THAT IS EXACERBATED BY THE HEAT. I LEAVE IN SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS, WHERE WE SEE A LOT OF HEAT. I CALLED OUR MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. THEY SAID TO JUST WAIT UNTIL MAZDA ISSUES A RECALL. IN ADDITION, THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD THESE PARTS ON ORDER SINCE DECEMBER AND STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THEM IN. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED AND REPAIRS NEED TO BE MADE. THE DASH BECOMES STICKY AND SHINY, WHICH IN TURN REFLECTS LIGHT UP ON TO THE WINDSHIELD. VISIBILITY IS THEN CUT DRASTICALLY TRYING TO SEE THROUGH THE REFLECTION FROM THE DASH.
