Interior plastics sticky/melted?

[Gregs24]

There is a soft touch plastic coating being used on consumer goods that does break down into a sticky substance after a few years. I hope to god they did not use it in any part of a vehicle interior. I have it on a HOTAS setup from Saitek. Was $200 when it was new and had a soft rubber texture to it. Now is a sticky slimy mess and is unusable.

The OP's car is only a few months old - it will not be Ford it will be something added by the dealer etc as covered above.

I don't believe it has anything to do with a dealer cleaning product. I got my car with all the plastic (like covering the seats etc.) all intact. I asked them not to prep it or do anything to it.

I noticed this on a prior '25 Mustang I purchased brand new as well, so I can only conclude it's Ford's manufacturing/material choice.
