What owners wrote
Passenger side dash started melting about a year ago and has gotten so bad the dash is almost liquid. Sunlight reflects off the shiny melted dash and blinds the driver. I was in an accident because I couldn't see due to light reflecting off melted dash. Dash is so sticky that you cannot touch or it will stick to hands/ clothing. I have ruined multiple items of clothing due to this mess.
I have the open and dangerous recall ( # 2818I ) still pending at this time. It was hard enough just to get the dealership, in order to inspect the car for corrosion in the concerning areas. I don't feel that the car is safe to drive at this time and prefer that no one rides with me when driving it, just for the safety of others. I'm very concerned that this fix will not come soon enough and the problem keep messing up my cars alignment. Causing all sorts of problems driving it, especially at high speeds.
