2010 MAZDA MAZDA3 Visibilitywiper Problems

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. MY CAR ISN'T EVEN FIVE YEARS OLD AND THE DASHBOARD HAS BASICALLY MELTED TO A POINT WHERE I HAVE TO REPLACE IT. THERE ARE ISSUES ALL OVER ABOUT THIS ON CERTAIN VEHICLES AND AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND MAZDA WILL NOT PLACE A RECALL, BUT SAYS I HAVE TO PAY $1500 TO FIX IT BECAUSE THE GLARE OF THE MELTING REFLECTS OFF MY WINDSHIELD WHEN I DRIVE WHICH CAUSES A HAZARD.

MY 2010 MAZDA3 HAS A BLACK TAR-LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT HAS COATED THE SOFT DASHBOARD. I FIRST NOTICED IT LAST SUMMER (2014). THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED A HUGE GLARE ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD THAT LIMITS MY VISIBILITY ANY TIME LIGHT IS REFLECTED OFF OF IT.

I HAVE A 2010 MAZDA3 I-SPORT MODEL. AFTER COMING BACK FROM A TWO WEEK VACATION, I FOUND MY DASHBOARD TO BECOME STICKY AND, WHILE UNDER DIRECT SUNLIGHT, WILL EMIT A GLARE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD THAT GREATLY REDUCES VISIBILITY. IT APPEARS AS IF IT IS MELTING. THE PROBLEM IS MOST APPARENT CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD, BUT HAS SPREAD A GREAT DEAL ACROSS THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT CANNOT BE CLEANED. *TR

I OWN A 2010 MAZDA 3 I-TOURING AND I BEGAN TO NOTICE AROUND THE SUMMER OF 2014 THAT THE TOP OF MY DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE STARTED TO MELT. SINCE IT FIRST STARTED IT HAS GREATLY EXPANDED IN SIZE- IT'S BEGINNING TO CROSS OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT'S ALSO LEAVING A STICKY RESIDUE ON THE DASH THAT HINDERS MY ABILITY TO CLEAN IT NOR CAN I PUT UP ANY SUN VISORS TO PROTECT THE REST OF THE INTERIOR BECAUSE THE VISORS WILL STICK TO THE DASH. IF I'M DRIVING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT THE DASHBOARD EMITS A HORRIFY GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT HAS ME WORRIED THAT, AS TIME GOES ON, DRIVING WILL BECOME UNSAFE. *TR

MY DASHBOARD MELTED. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2010 MAZDA 3 BRAND NEW. NOW THAT I HAVE PAID IT OFF, I'VE NOTICED THE DASHBOARD STARTING TO MELT RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS STARTED OVER THE SUMMER AND HAS BECOME WORSE SPREADING OVER A RATHER LARGE PORTION OF MY DASH. AND WHILE THIS MAY LOOK LIKE AN UNDESIRABLE BLACK TAR MESS, IT'S ACTUALLY A VERY LARGE SAFETY ISSUE AS IT'S IMPEDING UPON MY VISIBILITY. THE GLARE ON A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY HAS BEEN SO BAD THAT I'VE HAD TO PUT MY HEAD OUT THE WINDOW IN ORDER TO SEE. I COULD DRIVE PERHAPS ANOTHER WAY, OR WAIT UNTIL THERE IS NO SUN, BUT THAT IS NOT HOW MY LIFE WORKS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THERE IS AN AREA OF APPROXIMATELY 6" WIDE OF DASHBOARD THAT IS MELTING DIRECTLY ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN DRIVING, THE SUN SHINES DIRECTLY ON THE MELTED PARTS AND CAUSES A GLARE WHICH PREVENTS ME FROM SEEING THE ROAD CLEARLY. *TR

AS AN OWNER OF A 2010 MAZDA 3 OVER THE PAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A STICKY FILM ON MY DASHBOARD. IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY WORSE AND I REALIZED MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING!! IT CAUSING A BLINDSPOT DUE TO THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN. I HAVE NOT SUFFERED ANY DAMAGE YET BUT CLEARLY THIS IS FAULTY ON BEHALF OF MAZDA AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AS IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE FRONT GLASS OF THE VEHICLE BROKEN IN A SMALL HOLES. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR STARTED MELTING ON THE DRIVER SIDE BUT NOW THE ENTIRE DASH IS MELTED AND SHINY. I CAN'T SEE TO DRIVE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. THE REFECTION OBSCURES MY VISION AND IS VERY UNSAFE. I TALKED TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS A STICKY SAFETY HAZARD. I CANNOT SEE IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING, SEEING OTHER CARS AND PREDESTINES IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD ON THE WINDOW. MAZDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

AFTER 3 YEARS OF NORMAL COMMUTER USE, THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SEAT HAS BECOME EXCESSIVELY SHINY. IT IS THE TOP HUMP OF THE DASHBOARD CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE SHINE REFLECTS A GLARE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD DIRECTLY IN THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION. THE GLARE IS SOMETIMES SO BAD THAT IT HINDERS THE ABILITY TO SEE OTHER VEHICLES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THE SHINE IS UNABLE TO BE WIPED CLEAN AND LEAVES A STICKY BLACK RESIDUE WHEN TOUCHED. IT APPEARS THAT THE DASHBOARD UPHOLSTERY MATERIAL AND/OR ADHESIVE IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY MAZDA 3 IS MELTED FROM THE SUN AND CAUSES GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT BLOCKS VISION OF A PORTION OF THE ROAD. *TR

VEHICLE WITH CONTINUED ISSUE WITH MELTING DASHBOARD. REQUIRES VERY FREQUENT CLEANING OF THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE SUBSTANCE BUILD-UP FROM THE DAILY HEATING IN THE FLORIDA CLIMATE. DURING THE DAY THE GLARE FROM THE SUN REFLECTS BACK ONTO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING IT TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. POLARIZED SUNGLASSES SEEMS TO MINIMIZE THE ISSUE. AT NIGHT, CERTAIN LIGHTING ALSO HIGHLIGHTS THE PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY WHEN SUNGLASSES ARE NOT APPROPRIATE. ON DECEMBER 8TH JUST AFTER SUNDOWN A VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO MY RIGHT OF WAY AT AN INTERSECTION. THE STAR BURSTING FROM THE WINDSHIELD MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THAT THEY WERE TURNING IN FROM OF ME LEADING TO AN IMPACT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DASHBOARD ISSUE PLAYED A VERY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE CONTRIBUTING TO THIS CRASH. THE FAULT WAS OBVIOUSLY THE OTHER DRIVER BUT DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES I WAS UNABLE TO REACT QUICKLY....

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING (AND STICKY) AND IS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD REDUCING MY VISIBILITY. I AM EXPERIENCING A LOT OF DIFFICULTY SEEING OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD SINCE IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF IT AT TIMES DUE TO THE GLARE. *TR

I OWN A 2010 MAZDA 3 AND THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO THE POINT THAT IT PRODUCES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD RIGHT AT EYE LEVEL. I TRIED TO HAVE MAZDA REPLACE IT BUT THEY SAID BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THEY WOULD NOT DO IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2010 ANY BY 2012 IT HAD STARTED MELTING. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AS SOMETIMES IT PREVENTS ME FROM SEEING OUT THE WINDSHIELD AT ALL. *TR

MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY STICKY FOR YEARS NOW, DESPITE ALL ATTEMPTS TO CLEAN IT. IT HAS INCREASED TO THE POINT OF REFLECTING OFF OF THE DASHBOARD AND DISTRACTING ME WHEN I DRIVE. I TOOK IT INTO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I CANNOT IMAGINE THE CHEMICALS ARE GOOD TO BREATHE IN. *TR

DIDNT REALLY BECOME AN ISSUE UNTIL IT BEGAN TO GLARE INTO MY WINDSHIELD CAUSING ME TO BE UNABLE TO SEE. I CANNOT CLEAN, OR TOUCH ANY PART OF THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE IT IS SO MELTED AND STICKY IT STICKS TO MY HANDS IF I DO. IT IS IN MY DIRECT VIEW OF WHERE I SHOULD BE LOOKING TOWARDS THE ROAD.

SOMETIMES THE SHININESS IS SO REFLECTIVE THAT IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SEE WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY. THERE ARE CHUNKS OF THE DASH THAT COME OFF LIKE CHEWING GUM. THE DASH GETS ON EVERYTHING LIKE STICKY BLACK TAR. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT THERE ARE DANGEROUS TOXINS BEING RELEASED INTO THE AIR TO BREATHE WHILE DRIVING KNOWING THAT THIS SYNTHETIC MATERIAL HAS NOW BROKEN DOWN AND BEGUN TO DETERIORATE. THE CAR IS ONLY FOUR YEARS OLD AND WELL CARED FOR. WHO IS TO BLAME FOR MY LOSS OF VALUE FROM A POORLY MADE PRODUCT. *TR

MAZDA 3 2010 DASH IS MELTING. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A GLARE OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS FROM THE DASH TO THE WINDSHIELD THAT IN SUNNY CONDITIONS WAS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE GLARE. I THOUGHT IT WAS POTENTIALLY SOME ADHESIVE LEAKING OUT OF THE SEAM OF THE DASH. IT WAS GETTING WORSE OVER TIME SO THIS WEEKEND I ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN OFF THE SUBSTANCE. I FOUND THAT IT WAS NOT A SUBSTANCE BUT THE DASH HAD BECOME SOFT AND STICKY. IT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE CLEANED OFF. I HAVE USED A SUNSHADE SINCE I OWNED THE CAR (OCT 2009). I HAVE LIVED IN SOUTH FLORIDA SINCE 1985 AND HAVE OWNED MULTIPLE CARS. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT YOU MUST SHADE YOUR DASH TO PREVENT IT FROM BEING DAMAGED. HOWEVER, OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS, NO DASH HAS MELTED AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS GLARE THAT IS...

I HAVE A DASH THAT IS MELTING. IT IS OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IS TURNING TO A TARRY LIKE SUBSTANCE. I DOES HAVE A LOT OF REFLECTION AND COULD CAUSE SOME VISION IMPAIRMENT FROM THE GLARE IT PRODUCES. I THINK IT IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE ABOVE INCIDENT DATE IS WHEN I NOTICED THE DASH. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING!! IT APPEARS THAT IT IS DETERIORATING CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES. IT IS BECOMING STICKY AND APPARENTLY IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. AS THE SUN GLARES DOWN ON THE WINDSHIELD, THE SUNS' RAYS BOUNCE OFF THE SHINY DASHBOARD CAUSING ME TO LOSE VISION IN TRAFFIC. THE MAZDA DEALER IS NOT WANTING TO REPLACE IT STATING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY WANT ME TO PAY OVER $400 FOR THE LABOR AND 50% OF THE PART. I EVEN CALLED THE MAZDA HQ AND THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE DAMAGE, STATING THEY COULD DO NOTHING BETTER THAN THE OFFER THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME. I REQUESTED TO SPEAK TO HIGHER UP MANAGEMENT AT CORPORATE BUT WAS TOLD BY THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT NOBODY COULD ASSIST ME FURTHER. THIS IS SO ABSURD!!! PLEASE HELP BEFORE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

BLACK 2010 MAZDA 3, PURCHASED USED IN DECEMBER 2011; ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THE DASH STARTED GETTING STICKY AND NOW IT IS LITERALLY MELTING. I HAVE NEVER USED ANY CLEANING PRODUCTS ON THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR AND WHEN I DO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF MY CAR, I USE A SOFT TOWEL. NOW I CANT EVEN CLEAN MY DASHBOARD, DUE TO THE STICKINESS AND POSSIBILITY OF RUINING IT EVEN MORE. THE DASH CAUSES A SEVERE GLARE WHILE DRIVING AND I FEEL THIS LACK OF VISIBILITY IS A HAZARD TO THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE, PASSENGERS, OTHER DRIVERS, AND PEDESTRIANS. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING, WHICH HAS MADE THE SURFACE HIGHLY REFLECTIVE. THIS RESULTS IN POOR VISIBILITY WHEN IT REFLECTS INTO THE WINDSHIELD. COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENT IF IT REMAINS AS-IS. *TR

THIS CAR MAZDA 3 I PURCHASED IN 2011 AS A 2010 LEFTOVER NEW, AND THE DASH BOARD IS MELTING CREATING EVERYTHING TO STICK TO IT, AND ALSO OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON SUNNY DAYS DUE TO THE NATURE OF HOW SHINY IT IS. IT LOOKS LIKE A WET DOWN DASH BUT THE REFLECTION IS CREATING VERY DIFFICULT VIEWING PROBLEMS ON SUNNY DAYS, DUE TO THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM IT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED INTO. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 MAZDA3 HATCHBACK IS MELTING AND STICKY. WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN, THE GLARE FROM THE SHINY STICKY AREA REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT. IN FACT, I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE STICKY MELTING DASH AT FIRST, WHAT I NOTICED FIRST WAS THE FACT THAT I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY SEEING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. I HAVE NOT USED A BUNCH OF CLEANERS ON THE DASH IN THE PAST. I DO USE A SUN SHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD WHEN PARKED. *TR

MY 2010 MAZDA 3 DRIVES FINE AND DOES NOT HAVE MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD. SINCE IT WAS MADE FROM SOME TYPE OF RUBBER, THE SUN HAS BEEN MELTING IT. AESTHETICALLY IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD, BUT WHILE DRIVING TOWARD THE DIRECTION OF THE SUN, THE GLARE IT CAUSES ON MY FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN AFFECTING MY DRIVING. I HAVE SPOKEN TO A COUPLE OF PEOPLE AT A LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND ONE RIDICULOUS EMPLOYEE GAVE ME RECOMMENDATIONS SUCH AS TO PARK MY CAR IN A GARAGE, OR UNDER TREES WHENEVER POSSIBLE. APART FROM THOSE IDIOTIC REMARKS, I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM NOW PAST MY WARRANTY. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A MITSUBISHI FOR 10 YEARS AND THAT NEVER HAD ISSUES ALONG THOSE LINES. I HAVE TAKEN VARIOUS PHOTOGRAPHS OF HOW MY VISION IS BEING OBSTRUCTED AND WOULD HAPPILY SEND THEM TO...
