Altima S 2.5L V3

The dashboard on my 2008 Nissan Altima became very sticky and soft to the touch. If you poke your finger into it your finger will sink slightly. You cannot clean it as anything you try and use just sticks to it. I have searched for a way to have Nissan fix this as I feel it is there responsibility to replace/repair but I can find no information on how to do this or where to report it. I know of at least 25 other individuals with the same year Altima experiencing the same issue so obviously this is a problem with this year and make. If anybody finds a way to contact Nissan and resolve this issue please post solution and let the rest of us know.
