I just realized this past weekend while washing my car that I do have the sticky dash problem.

I stand corrected. My dash is melting/sticky too. I just didn't look in the right place. wish there was a cheap and easy fix.

My 08 dash is sticky and cracking everywhere. It was like that when I bought it, I put a cover on it.

I have 2010 convertible I just bought 1 month ago with 16,000 miles with a cracked dash. I have looked on line there has been law suits brought against Nissan/ infinity for these dash problems. I have sent corporate infinity email on this and they have no intention of stepping up like Toyota/Lexus did when they had same problem and replaced thousands of dashes. We must make a lot of noise about this to get them to step up and do a recall. I checked with a local Infinity dealer and the cost was a dash/$1700. And labor $700.

Lumpy I followed your advice ,and I have gotten no where on this either. I just bought my convertible 2010 with 16,000 miles with a lot of cracks. Dealer wants $2300 to replace dash.everyone that has a problem needs to make calls and emails to corporate. The lawyer I talked to said ( you got to make a lot of noise about this ).

You can repair it if you know how to handle panel filler material and staining

Mines started getting sticky every once in awhile, 2010 g37 with 70k miles. It only happens when its hot but it has a slight stickiness all the time now.

2011, I live in CA and I haven't noticed this issue before. CA is a pretty sunny place too. I'm wondering how much sun/heat you guys are getting for this to occur.

My 08 dash was sticky, cracking along the vents and straight up melted in certain parts. There was a class action that was won by nissan altima owners. I think it would be an easier case to prove that the G37 is affected in the same way the altimas were.

2010 just sticky. Currently no cracking or melting. If anyone can find a solution great, but currently considering accepting its fate and getting it wrapped in leather when it gets bad (if that's even possible, I don't see why not).

My dash melting issue has stabilized, it's not spreading anymore. But the cracks have started showing up. Lots of them.

I've tried everything with the dealer, tried getting on two class actions and no resolution.

I thought about wrapping my dash before the cracks showed up. Now I think that would make things worse.

Looking on ebay for a used dash, but what's to say that one won't be on the verge of melting and cracking.

for now I live with it.
