| Steering problems |
I own a 2003 infinity Fx45 awd. About June 2007 the steering wheel started to peel and breakdown and become sticky. So I put a wheel cover. Problem covered up. Thought nothing of it until about a month ago I noticed a crack on the dash in the corner by the speaker in the center of the dash. Then the next time I noticed a crack by the corner of the left dash speaker, then the next time the right dash speaker. Now I noticed a crack by the far right air conditioner vent on the dash. The dash is cracking apart in front of my eyes. I have a friend that has a 2006 with the same dash problem. They must have used inferior products for the dash and steering wheel. I use a sun reflector when parked and my wife parks under a covered garage. So its not like we did not try and prevent a problem. I have lived inflorida over 30 years and have never had a dash board crack. It is a shame because it is an excellent running car. I would think infinity would want to take care of what may be a large scale problem if other owners are notified. Thank you.
