1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2018

Mazda will only replace dashboards for melting and sticky dashboards. They know there is a problem with the material used. They will not replace dashboards that are cracking . My concern is the cracking is over passenger side airbag. I fell this could be a problem. The airbag should not be compromised and contained in a faulty cracked dash. I believe Toyota and Lexus had the same problem but they owed up to it and replaced dashboards that were melting and cracking. Mazda refuses.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

Passenger side dashboard is getting a sticky surface on top. The top layer almost seems like it is melting. It is just starting to get sticky and it is just on top. The stickiness has just started in the last 2 weeks. The sticky surface is causing a glare and is affecting the visibility when driving. Further, the dashboard cracked all the way down after having the air bag replaced due to the recall. No pressure/damage/hits has occurred on the dashboard by consumer and yet it cracked all the way down in January 2018.
