Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING. I HAVE NEVER APPLIED ANY CHEMICAL CLEANING SOLUTIONS TO THE DASHBOARD AND I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE INTENSE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASH BOARD IS SO INTENSE THAT I HAVE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE VEHICLE. THE NISSAN CLAIMS DEPARTMENT STATES THAT THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO OF NEVER SEEN A DASHBOARD MELT. AN INTERNET INFORMATION SEARCH FOR "2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD MELTING" REVEALS NUMEROUS OTHER 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
