INFINITI EX35 dashboard cracking issue around air vents and middle panel on INFINITI EX35

Some INFINITI EX35 owners report experiencing dashboard cracking issues, particularly around the air vents and middle panel, with small hairline cracks that can widen over time. These cracks often circle around all AC vents, including the driver's side vent, the top dash above the steering wheel, and the glove box area, impacting both the aesthetics and functionality of the dashboard. The problem has been noted across various model years, from 2008 to 2012. While some owners have attempted to use DIY repair kits and special glue to fix the cracks, they are also advised to take preventive measures, such as avoiding extreme heat and parking in shaded areas. Finding affordable solutions can be difficult, leading some to consider dash covers as temporary fixes. Additionally, replacing the dashboard with a used one in good condition is suggested, as obtaining a replacement from INFINITI may not be a viable option for older vehicles.
