Ok this complaint is about the melting dashboard on mi vehicle is not only dangerous to drive when the sun is in front of you because of the glare but cosmetically looks disgusting, every time someone gets in my car asks me if my car has some kind of deceased or they even mention chickenpox as a joke. I contacted infiniti about the issue end they told me that I just missed the recall and they couldn't do anything about it. Well the problem is still there and is a factory defect that not only me but thousands has the same problem. I ask you for your help to see if this problem could be resolved. I heard that mazda has recall all their defective dashboard and I think that every other company such as luxury infiniti should stand behind their product. I am a family man with two kids 12 and 7 and I would hate to think that something can happened while driving with this dashboard that maximizes the glare due to its condition. I took a few pictures to show you the glare and the defect. Also this happened in new york where I reside and every summer it gets worst and worst.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
There is a recall not isted on this site to do with the melting/bubbling dashboard. There could be a health hazard with the adhesive and infiniti closed the recall and it is not for the life of the vehicle
I opened the sunroof while driving about 60-70 MPH on the highway and the glass of the sunroof completely flew off the car and went up in the air about 30-40 feet. The break or separation of the glass from the roof was clean so there was no damage to the sunroof mount/bracket which still operates like it should without the glass. This is vary dangerous as it could kill someone driving behind me. My insurance company said that the sunroof glass should not break apart from the mount of any vehicle, that I should contact the manufacture. I called infiniti consumer affairs and they do not want to do anything for me.
