    Adhesive inside the dashboard display is failing. It started at approximately 20,000 miles and has suddenly gotten much worse 1 year later at approximately 30,000 miles. This failure is causing "bubbles" in the display, which is interfering with the clarity/readability of the gauges, including the speedometer, which I consider to be a safety issue. Ultimately, I'm concerned that the screen may fail completely while I'm driving.
