The dashboard on the passenger side of the 2010 mazda 6, 2.5l has melted from high temperature of the southern part of the united states. The surface has become very sticky and reflective. The sticky material has gotten smeared onto the windshield and is not removable, the more you try to wipe it away so the read can be seen the more it smears blocking more and more of the view. When the sun hits the windshield the smears completely block the behind view and the light reflects off of the dash surface, now a sticky smeared liquid, it reflects into my eyes while driving causing temporary blindness to the point I have to slow down and brake sometimes pulling off the road due to lost visability. No cleaners or chemical detergents were ever used to clean the windshield, the dash melted from normal hot summer temps. Apparently mazda knew of this problem and failed to disclose it at purchase, if they did I would not of bought it. It costs 1,500.00 to fix and mazda refuses to pay for the repair. Once this sticky substance gets on the windshield it is permanent. This is a very dangerous defect and I'm sure will lead to deaths.

The dashboard of my 2010 mazda 6 , 2.5l melted, emitting a chemical smell and liquifying the dashboard surface creating a sticky reflective surface that can blind the driver.
The dashboard has begun to melt from excessive heat. Not only is it sticky to the touch, but it has become very reflective which at times can reflect & obscure you vision when driving. This is clearly a driving hazard, and it is very unprofessional for mazda not to help in the manner. I contacted mazda, they proceed to advice that my warranty had expired about 2 years ago and there was nothing they could do. They suggested that I take it to an authorized mazda dealer for an inspection. From there I was to contact their claims department (18002225500) to see if they could help with the cost of the repair as part of an after warranty aid.
I would like to report this ongoing issue with my mazda 6 2010 model. The way mazda design side mirror that's very comfy for spider. Our both left & right mirror has spider web all the time.
