2010 MAZDA MAZDA3 Complaints

I HAVE A 2010 MAZDA 3, BOUGHT BRAND NEW, OFF THE LOT IN 2010 AND THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING, CAUSING A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS CAUSING ME A DRIVING HAZARD AS THE GLARE MAKES IT HARD TO SEE! THE DASH MATERIAL IS ALSO CRACKING AND MELTING AROUND THE AC VENTS. *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

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING A REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDOW WHICH IS A DRIVING HAZARD AS THE REFLECTION ON THE WINDOW CAUSES LIMITED VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. DASHBOARD IS MELTED AND STICKY TO THE TOUCH, MOSTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT ALSO TO A LESSER DEGREE ON PASSENGER SIDE. NO CHEMICALS HAVE BEEN USED ON THE DASHBOARD. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO ANY CHEMICALS THAT WOULD CAUSE IT. *TR

CAR'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS SHINY AND STICKY, AND THE REFLECTION OF THE SHINING DASH CAN SOMETIMES BE SEEN IN THE WINDSHIELD. *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

THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE WINDSHIELD IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND HAS A VERY GLOSSY LOOK TO IT. WHEN DRIVING DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY, THE DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *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 AND CAUSING GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. CONTINUES TO GET PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH THE HEAT. VISIBILITY GETTING WORSE AS WELL. *TR
