Consumer Description

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND APPARENTLY NISSAN DIDN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE WEATHER HERE WHEN USING MATERIAL FOR THEIR DASHBOARDS ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL. THE WHOLE TOP DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND LOOKS LIKE A WET SUBSTANCE. BECAUSE OF THIS IT CREATES AN INTENSE GLARE THAT IS A SEVER SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. I CALLED 1800-NISSAN AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH THEY USED FAULTY MATERIAL. THIS IS A KNOWN CONCERN SINCE OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IF U DO A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THIS ISSUE, YOU'LL FIND ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEMS FOR NEARLY ALL NISSAN ALTIMA (2008) WHO LIVE IN SOUTHERN CLIMATES AND NISSAN WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS ISSUES, DOES SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN A ACCIDENT OR GET DISMEMBERED ? THANK YOU *TR
