I BOUGHT MY MAXIMA LAST YEAR AND NOTICED MY DASH WAS STICKY TRIED TO WIPE IT OFF WITH A WET RAG USING WATER AND IT WOULD NOT GO AWAY IT IS NOW SPREADING TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE THE RESIN IN THE DASH MATERIAL IS MELTING. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A THING IT I LOOKS LIKE I HAVE WATER ON MY DASH. WHEN I AM DRIVING INTO THE SUN THE REFLECTION OF THE AREA SHINES ON TO MY WINDSHIELD ALMOST BLINDING ME. NO OTHER PART OF THE INTERIOR LOOKS THIS WAY. I AM CONCERNED WITH DRIVING IT AN DO NOT SEE THIS TO BE SOMETHING I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE. LIKE I SAID I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A DASH BOARD LOOK LIKE THIS. *TR
