Consumer Description

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA DASH IS MELTING. DASH HAS CRACKS AS WELL NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAGS AND NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. READ IN FORUMS THAT THE CAR DEALERSHIPS SAY THAT WHEN THE DASH HAS CRACKS AND IS MELTING AIR BAGS COULD NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE DASH DUE TO THE CAR BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AND EXPECT ME TO BUY A NEW ONE WHEN THIS SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AS PART OF THE DESIGN. *TR
