Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING, CRACKING AND CRUMBLING. THE MELTING HAS CREATED A SHEEN THAT REFLECTS ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING VISIBILITY TO BE SEVERELY IMPAIRED. THE DASH IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH. FURTHER, THE MELTING IS CAUSING A TOXIC CHEMICAL ODOR AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE POSSIBLE FUME DEPOSITS ON THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THESE ARE BOTH CLEARLY SAFETY HAZARDS THAT NEED TO BE IMMEDIATELY ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS FAILING AS WELL. IT IS FADING, PEELING AND THE CLEAR COAT HAS DEGRADED ON MUCH OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN CONTINUED DEGRADATION.
