2010 MAZDA MAZDA3 Visibilitywiper Problems

my Mazda 03 dashboard is melting, and I am not able to see out the window... I have talked to dealer and manufactory, and they will not pay the whole amount knowing it's a safety issue. I don't understand how they can sell product on car that is malfunctioning and a safety issue. I bought the car brand new in 2010 and didn't have any issues until this year. Please call me back at [XXX] my name is [XXX] . I was not in an accident, just think this is a safety issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The dashboard adhesive migrates to the surface of the dashboard. Adhesive then sublimates and condenses on the windshield making a glaze on the windshield, making it extremely difficult to see the road in sunrise or sunset conditions. I've repeatedly cleaned the windshield with many different cleaners including acetone, but at best I am only able to improve visibility, not restore it. In the attached photo, the upper portion of photo illustrates the film of adhesive on the glass after it was wiped with a clean paper towel, creating a hazy appearance. The entire windshield was cleaned with acetone and heavy duty degreaser and window cleaner prior to the photo.

Front dash is melted and very shiny causing intense glare for the driver.

The dashboards should be subject to a recall immediately since badly reduced visibility from glare is a recipe for an accident. The defective (melting) material is so bad that if the sun hits it just right, I can hardly see anything ahead of me; it is an accident waiting to happen. I called my Mazda dealer (Gray Epperson Mazda in Cleveland, TN (423) 303-1333) but said there was nothing they could do now as there was a warranty before but it had expired. I try to drive the car but always trying to avoid sunny conditions, but unfortunately, when I leave at 5pm conditions are worse if it's sunny. I wish Mazda would accept responsibility soon (or they are forced to do so by NHTSA, if needed) so that I wouldn't have to take such a risk.

I am writing to file a complaint regarding the defective dashboard of my Mazda 3. The dash of the car under the windshield has become melty and shines excessively, making it extremely difficult to see when the sun is shining on the dashboard. The reflection on the windshield is so intense that it affects the visibility of the road and makes it hard to see clearly. I was informed by the dealership that there was an extended service available for this issue, but it expired after 10 years. I was never informed of this extended service and only now, after my dashboard has become extremely affected, did I find out about it. This is extremely concerning as the dashboard is an important safety feature of the car and the reflection from the dashboard is affecting my visibility, putting myself and other drivers on the road in danger. I am extremely...

The dashboard in my 2010 Mazda 3 has melted significantly throughout the years. It has become hazardous and tough to operate this vehicle. The dashboard is glossy, sticky, and believe a slight odor. I tried to slow its deterioration by using a sunshade when parked. It not only did not help, the dashboard just ruined each shade with a sticky, tar-like, black residue. No dealership has offered to help me without trying to charge me the total price of replacement, plus their labor costs. I regularly check to see if there has been a new recall, but there has not. I can not sell this car without feeling guilty for endangering others. I am unlikely to return to Mazda as a paying customer since they shy away from treating my family like one. I hope this issue is fixed adequately for me and anyone else suffering from this issue.

The dashboard is melting and its causing a poor visibility due to the shiny reflection on the windshield

STICKY DASH LEAVES A MAJOR GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE IN THE SUN

MY CAR'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING CREATING AN AWFUL SMELLY CHEMICAL FUME OF WHATEVER IS DETERIORATING. TOUCHING IT RESULTS IN GETTING MOLTEN DASHBOARD ON MY FINGERS AND THERE IS AN AWFUL GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING IMPAIRING VISIBILITY. IT'S BEEN HOT THIS SUMMER AND WHATEVER THE DASHBOARD IS MADE OF WAS NOT BUILT TO HANDLE HEAT.

STICKY DASHBOARD INTERFERES WITH WINDSHIELD GLARE HE WINDSHIELD TEND TO GET A VERY BAD GLARE AND MAKES IT HARD TO DRIVE DUE TO THE DASH BOARD. THE DASH BOARD IS ALL STICKY AND GETS WORSE WITH THE HEAT

DASH IS MELTING AND I HAVE VERY POOR VISIBILITY DUE TO A LOT OF GLARE REFLECTION. *TR

THE DASH ON MY VEHICLE HAS MELTED AND BECOME SHINY AND HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MAZDA HAS "EXTENDED" THE WARRANTY ON THE DASH, HOWEVER SINCE MY CAR HAS A "BRANDED TITLE" FROM HAIL DAMAGE THIS EXCLUDES MY VEHICLE. ALSO THE ISSUE IS OUTSIDE THE 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUES AND IS LISTED ON THE MAZDA WEBSITE. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER CONTACTING MAZDA THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE DASH. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SAFETY HAZARD I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL VS THEM EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO SAVE COSTS ON NOT HAVING TO REPLACE CERTAIN VEHICLES.

APPROX 4"X12" SECTION DASHBOARD MELTING ABOVE GAUGE CLUSTER AND CREATING GLARE BOTH OFF OF THE DASH AND ON THE WINDSHIELD. CANNOT CLEAN OFF GOOEY MESS

THE DASHBOARD APPEARS MELTED AND STICKY AND IS EFFECTING VISIBILITY MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A SECURED COMPANY PARKING LOT. WHEN I LEFT WORK, THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS SMASHED. THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I THOUGHT A HUGE TREE LIMB MAY HAVE FELL ON THE CAR AND SOMEONE MOVED IT BUT THERE WAS NOTHING NEARBY TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. I HAD THE SUNROOF REPAIRED AND FORGOT ABOUT IT UNTIL I JUST SAW INFORMATION ABOUT THIS HAPPENING ON OTHER CARS. REPORTING TO YOU FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSES. SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY (PARKED), THE HIGH TEMP THAT DAY WAS 90 AND THE LOW WAS 72, NOTHING WAS ON TOP OF THE CAR (ROCK,TREE,ETC), NO KNOWN REASON FOR WHY THE GLASS BROKE.

MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING CAUSED ME TO DRIVE OFF ROAD AND ALMOST TO HAVE ACCIDENTS NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THE SUNLIGHT AND THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT NIGHT REFLECTS ON THE DASHBOARD/WINDSHIELD AND BLINDS WHOS DRIVING AND U CANT EVEN CLEAN IT JUST WISH THAT IT WOULD BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENS

THE DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSING PROBLEM SEEING. I RECEIVED A LETTER A WHILE BACK STATING THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THE DASH BOARDS BECOMING STICKY OR MELTING MINE HAS JUST STARTED DOING THIS AND ITS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE ON REALLY SUNNY DAYS FROM THE GLARE THAT IT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I CALLED MAZDA ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WAS GONNA DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN NOT FIX IT WHEN ITS CAUSE OF THE DASHBOARD THEY PUT IN THE CARS. THIS IS NOT ONLY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT ALSO COULD RISK PEOPLE LIVES. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPEN AND ONLY GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES ON I DONT HAVE A CERTAIN DATE SO I JUST PICKED ONE BELOW

MY DASH HAS GLARE FROM DASH MELT

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTED AND STICKY AND THAT MAKES IT BRIGHT WITH THE SUN AND REFLECTED IN THE GLASS INTERNALLY AND MAKES DAY DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA 3. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RADIO ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE RADIO TURNED ON AND OFF WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE WINDOWS FAILED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT IS WORSE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND CONTINUES ACROSS THE WHOLE DASHBOARD. IT IS CAUSING A NOXIOUS FUMES AND A GLARE THAT AT TIMES GOES ACROSS THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE GLARE IS WORSE IN THE MORNING AS THE SUN RISES AND ON SUNNY DAYS. THE GLARE CHANGES AS YOU DRIVE AND MAKES THE ROAD APPEAR AS IF SOMETHING IS IN FRONT OF YOU ON THE ROAD. THE GLARE CAN BE FROM 5 INCHES DIRECTLY IN YOUR LINE OF SIGHT TO GOING ACROSS AT LEAST 2/3 OF YOUR VIEWING LINE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD-CAUSING IT TO LOOK AS IF SOMEONE HAS THROWN SLICK OIL OR A SILVER SHEET OF METAL IN THE ROAD. HAVE SWERVED QUITE A FEW TIMES (DEPENDING ON THE DIRECTION I AM DRIVING), CAN'T SEE WHEN PEOPLE STEP OFF OF A CURB, AS THE GLARE COMES IN THE SOON AND CAN...

DASHBOARD IS MELTED, CAUSING EXTREME GLARE DURING THE DAYTIME. THE GLARE FROM THE MELTED DASHBOARD IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH AND CAUSES SAFETY AND VISIBILITY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING.

DASHBOARD MELTING. GLARE ON WINSHIELD

MELTING DASHBOARD. MINE IS NOT AS SEVERE AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. BUT THERE IS A STICKY/GOOEY FEEL TO PART OF MY DASHBOARD.

THE DASHBOARD HAS STARTED TO MELT. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A VERY SHINY STICKY MESS. THE SHEEN CAUSES SEVERE VISION PROBLEMS WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN ALMOST BLINDED AND UNABLE TO SEE THE TRAFFIC AT TIMES.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD. BLOCKING MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING.

MELTING DASHBOARD AND WINDSHIELD GLARE

THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY THE AREA ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, APPEARS TO HAVE MELTED. THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND SHINY LIKE IT IS COVERED IN TAR. IT CANNOT BE WIPED, AND THE SHINY SURFACE PRODUCES A SEVERE GLARE RIGHT IN THE LINE OF SIGHT FOR THE DRIVER. NO CLEANERS OR CHEMICALS HAVE BEEN USED ON THE DASH, ONLY A DRY CLOTH.

MY DASHBOARD IS ALSO MELTING LIKE OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. IT STARTED ABOUT 36 MONTHS IN AND ONLY GETS WORSE. IT'S NOW A STICKY MESS THAT REFLECTS ON TO THE WINDSHIELD WHICH CAUSES GLARE WHEN LOOKING OUT THE WINDSHIELD. IT SEEMS TO BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON SUNNY DAYS IN FLORIDA. IT'S DISTRACTING AND IS UNSAFE FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL FOR ANYTHING THAT IS IN THE AREA OF THE GLARE OUTSIDE THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY SERVICE GARAGE THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE HAD SEEN IT ON ABOUT 1 OF EVERY 5 CARS SERVICED. WHEN I INQUIRED WHAT IT WOULD COST TO GET IT REPAIRED/REPLACED THE GUY SAID IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO $2000. THAT'S CRAZY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 MAZDA 3I HAS BEEN MELTING. IT IS NOW A STICKY SHINY MESS ON TOP AND THE REFLECTION OF IT IN THE WINDSHIELD AT CERTAIN SUN ANGLES MAKES IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I ALMOST RAN OVER A PEDESTRIAN TODAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE HIM THROUGH THE REFLECTION WHICH IS THE REASON I FINALLY DECIDED TO REPORT THIS CONDITION TO NHTSA. I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION AFTER MAKING A STOP FOR A STOP-SIGN AND STARTED STRAIGHT FORWARD TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION. I BARELY WAS ABLE TO STOP SHORT OF HITTING A GUY CROSSING THE STREET.

MY DASHBOARD HAS STARTED MELTING. IT CAUSES A HUGE GLARE ACROSS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I DID PUT MY CAR IN SERVICE AT THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP IN CLEAR LAKE, TEXAS AND IT SAT THERE FOR OVER A MONTH. THEY DID GIVE ME A LOANER CAR BUT THEY CALLED ME TO DROP OFF THE LOANER AND PICK UP MY CAR, I EXPRESSED HOW TERRIFIED I AM TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND ASKED IF I COULD STAY IN THE LOANER UNTIL THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED, AND THEY SAID, "IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM" AND GAVE ME THE MAZDA CORPORATE NUMBER "BECAUSE IT WAS MAZDA'S PROBLEM NOT THE DEALERSHIP". I CALLED MAZDA AND THEY TOLD ME TO RETURN THE LOANER AND TO PUT A TOWEL OVER THE MELTED DASHBOARD(WHICH I HAVE TRIED BUT CAUSE A REFLECTION). I AM FURIOUS THAT MY...

FRONT DASH HAS MELTED CAUSING A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. CONCERNED ABOUT TOXICITY INSIDE CAR DUE TO MELTING.

AS WITH MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE REGARDING THE 2010 MAZDA3, MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING IT TO BE HIGHLY REFLECTIVE AND EMIT A NOXIOUS ODOR. THIS PROBLEM REDUCES VISIBILITY AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT. FURTHER, THE NOXIOUS ODOR COULD BE HARMFUL AND COULD VERY WELL BE A SAFETY ISSUE OUTSIDE OF THE VISIBILITY ISSUE. MAZDA NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ISSUE A RECALL LIKE TOYOTA HAS ALREADY DONE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT AND MAZDA DOES NOT.

DASHBOARD MELTED COMPLETELY, I AM NOT ABLE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE FROM THE HOURS OF 10AM - 4:30PM BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD, THE WINDSHIELD LOOKS COMPLETELY WHITE FROM THE GLARE IN THE DASHBOARD, CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND MAZDA DOESN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!! IMPOSSIBLE TO OPERATE VEHICLE AT REGULAR HOURS!!

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT CREATES A HORRIBLE TOXIC NAUTIOUS PLASTIC SMELL. THE MELTING OF THE DASH CREATES A VISUAL SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE INTENSE REFLECTIVE GLARE IT CREATES FROM ITS NOW SMOOTH SURFACE. THE GLARE BOUNCES OFF THE DASH THEN REFLECTS AN INTENSE GLARE OFF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING THE WINDSHIELD DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH.

DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND THE GLOSS COAT IT LEAVES IS THROWING A SERVE GLARE IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF SIGHT. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOYIFIED AND STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NUMERIOUS CASES POSTED ON-LINE FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. MAZDA HAS BUILT A VEHICLE WITH A KNOWN SAFETY/MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION? LOSS OF LIFE???

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING CREATING A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED JUST AS A SMALL AREA IT HAS NOW GROWN OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS GETTING STICKY RESIDUE EVERYWHERE MAKING IT HARD TO CLEAN. WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO PAY TO GET A NEW DASHBOARD OR EVEN HAVE TO GET A DASH PAD?! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR FREE.

OVER TIME THE DASHBOARD HAS GONE FROM A MATT BLACK RUBBER MATERIAL TO A VERY SHINY, STICKY, MELTING SURFACE, WHICH IS QUITE VISIBLE WHEN LOOKING FORWARD THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. IT ADVERSELY EFFECTS THE VISIBILITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN.

STARTED TO NOTICE STICKY RESIDUE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. HARD TO CLEAN OFF MAKING FOR A VISIBILITY ISSUE. DAYS LATER AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY STICKY AND APPEARS TO BE MELTING. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION ONLINE REALIZE THIS IS AN GOING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND OTHERS. I.E. TOYOTA/LEXUS .

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 MAZDA 3 HAS BECOME STICKY, THERE IS A SLIGHT SHINE TO IT WHICH GLARES OFF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND AM TAKING IT IN TOMORROW TO SEE ABOUT REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. I USE A SUNSHADE THOUGH I DO NOT HAVE A DASHBOARD COVER. THE AFFECTED AREA IS CLEARLY WHERE THE DASH GETS THE HOTTEST.

I PURCHASED A 2010 MAZDA 3 IN 2009. THIS YEAR (2015), AROUND APRIL/MAY, BEFORE THE SUMMER HEAT EVEN GOT BAD, I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY. SINCE THEN, IT HAS PRETTY MUCH COMPLETELY MELTED. THE DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY STICKY AND SOFT WHEN YOU TOUCH IT, ALMOST HAS A PUTTY CONSISTENCY, BUT THAT IS NOT THE MAIN ISSUE. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS MY MAIN CONCERN. THERE IS A HORRIBLE GLARE THE SHINE FROM THE DASHBOARD CREATES ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN IS OUT BECAUSE OF THIS GLARE. A DASHBOARD COVER IS NOT AN OPTION BECAUSE OF HOW STICKY THE DASHBOARD IS; A COVER WILL DEFINITELY GET STUCK TO THE DASH AND DESTROY IT. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CLAIMS FOR MELTING DASHBOARDS FOR MODELS BETWEEN 2009 AND 2011. THIS IS SUCH A...

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 MAZDA 3 STARTED MELTING ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO BECOMING MORE STICKY AND REFLECTIVE OVER TIME TO POINT WHERE IT HAS A PLASTIC, CHEMICAL SMELL EMITTING FROM IT. MOREOVER, IT HAS BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DUE TO THE SEVERE REFLECTION. THIS HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED OVER THE PAST YEAR. I AM IN DISBELIEF THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD USE MATERIAL FOR A DASHBOARD THAT MELTS AND EMITS CHEMICALS. CLEARLY, MAZDA CHOSE TO USE INFERIOR MATERIALS FOR THE DASHBOARD. CONSIDERING THE PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS AND STATEMENTS REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUE OF LIMITED VISIBILITY DUE TO REFLECTION, IT IS VASTLY IRRESPONSIBLE THAT MAZDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE OWNERS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TO SEEKING CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS TO MAKE MAZDA CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE.

THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD PANEL HAS MELTED AND NOW HAS A STICKY TEXTURE. IT IS ALSO HIGHLY REFLECTIVE, CAUSING DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING.

THE DASH BOARD IS MELTING WHICH IS CAUSING A REFLECTION INTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CREATING HORRIBLE GLARE IN LINE OF VISION OCCLUDING ONCOMING CARS. I HAVE PICTURES OF HOW TERRIBLE THE GLARE OF THE DASHBOARD REFLECTION IS CREATING WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE WILL FAIL TO SEE AN ONCOMING CAR OR CHILD CROSSING THE STREET DUE TO THIS DEFECT. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CREATING HORRIBLE GLARE IN LINE OF VISION OCCLUDING ONCOMING CARS. SPOKE TO MAZDA HQ WITH NO HELP SIMPLY STATING THAT THEY HAD HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR BUT SINCE IT ISN'T CAUSING A "SAFETY HAZARD" THEY WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL IT. I HAVE PICTURES OF HOW TERRIBLE THE GLARE OF THE DASHBOARD REFLECTION IS CREATING WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMEONE WILL FAIL TO SEE AN ONCOMING CAR OR CHILD CROSSING THE STREET DUE TO THIS DEFECT. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION! *TR

DASH HAS GLARE FROM ON THE TOP THAT CAUSES SAFETY ISSUES. DASH HAS AREAS THAT ARE MELTING AND CAUSE GLARE FROM THE SUN THAT PREVENTS SAFE DRIVING. MAZDA NEEDS TO REPLACE DASH JUST LIKE TOYOTA IS DOING ON EVEN OLDER CARS. MAZDA CHOOSE INFERIORS PARTS AND NOT OWNERS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE; MAZDA STEP-UP AND REPLACE THE DASH ON MAZDA 3.
