Your dashboard has become shiny and sticky, and is now cracking in multiple areas. The glare reflecting off the cracked dashboard onto your windshield is creating a visibility and safety hazard. Nissan acknowledges this is a common problem in 2005-2012 models but says they cannot help. Fixing this typically involves replacing the dashboard pad or applying a protective dashboard cover.
