Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE, 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA, HAS BEEN MELTING AWAY FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS. THIS HAS CAUSED A HUGE GLARE EFFECT REFLECTIVE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY MORNING SUN WHEN I DRIVE EAST TOWARDS WORK. I CURRENTLY HAVE GLAUCOMA IN MY EYES FOR WHICH I AM TREATING FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. THE GLARE FROM THE DETERIORATING DASHBOARD HAS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED MY EYES. I HAVE HEARD NEWS REPORTS THAT A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED ON LEXUS AND OTHER CAR MODELS REGARDING THE SAME MELTING DASHBOARD PHENOMENA HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. *TR
