2002 Santa fe with dash vent cover slowly melting

I bought my Santa fe new in 2002 and had the full treatment - tinting, paint treatment, interior protection (by Ming Australia). I noticed that the black dome in the centre of the dash that covers the vents appeared a little soft and sticky but thought it was just the treatment. Now the dome is melting. If you touch it you leave finger prints in the plastic. Has anyone else had this problem? I have only attempted to was it once with just water and this just smeared the tacky plastic. Help!

I've seen the paint coming off some of them.

This is black plastic that is melting. Have you ever seen that? I wiped the dust off it with a wet cloth and left scores through the sticky melting plastic.

You have a 5 year warrantee on Hyundai's so nip it into a dealer and see what he says.

I think that's the paint. That sounds similar to what I was referring.
