NHTSA Complaint #10548517 — 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 08 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007. I LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, AND FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, MY DASHBOARD HAS TURNED SHINY, STICKY, AND IS QUITE LITERALLY MELTING. THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR, I NOTICED THAT THE PART AROUND THE RADIO UNIT HAS BEEN CRACKING AND "SOFTENING". IN THE DAYTIME, THE SHINY MELTING PART OF THE DASH REFLECTS ONTO MY WINDSHIELD AND CREATES A BLINDING GLARE THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO EVEN SEE THE ROAD. I HAVE TRIED VARIOUS CLEANING SOLUTIONS UNTIL I REALIZED THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. I HAVE COME ACROSS MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, MOST IN FLORIDA, AND ALL 2008 ALTIMAS. I WILL ENCLOSE A LINK TO THE FORUM WHERE MANY ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE FOUND THANKS TO GOOGLE WITH THE ISSUE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND SOME PICTURES OF THE DASHBOARD IF NECESSARY.
