Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING THAT CAUSES THE SURFACE TO BE EXTREMELY SHINNY WHICH IN RETURN WHEN THE SUNLIGHT GLARES THROUGH IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. I DO KNOW THAT FLORIDA OWNERS WON A CASE AGAINST NISSAN TO HAVE THERE DASHBOARD REPLACED THAT COST THEM $250.00. BUT THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA STATES THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS IS ONLY 7 YEARS. I TALKED WITH AN ATTORNEY ABOUT TAKING ON A CASE AGAINST NISSAN TO HAVE OURS REPLACED, BUT NO TAKER BECAUSE OF THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT TEXAS HAS A PENDING SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THE RESIDENTS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS. I HAVE 2 PICTURES ATTACHED FOR YOUR REVIEW. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND I HOPE I HAVE AN ANSWER WITHIN 30 DAYS. THANK YOU.
