Consumer Description

THE DASHBOARD AREA ON THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BREAKING DOWN AND MELTING. THIS MELTING HAS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SHINE AND REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (ALONG WITH AN ODOR). ITS BECOME SO BAD THEN ON MANY DAYS ITS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE CAR OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF YOU OR YOU SIMPLY CANNOT SEE ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AND IN SOME STATES WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT NEEDS TO BE A NATIONAL RECALL! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT AND THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE THAT PROVES THIS IS A BLATANT PROBLEM. IT IS THE VEHICLE SAFETY AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBILITY TO FORCE A REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE AN INNOCENT INDIVIDUAL IS KILLED. NISSANUSA HAS REFUSED TO REMEDY OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS EXPENSIVE ISSUE WHEN CONTACTED. LIVES ARE AT RISK! THE CONSUMER IS BEING IGNORED. MY CAR IS PREDOMINATE GARAGE KEPT WITH UNDER 100K ON IT, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. CLEARLY BUSINESS INTERESTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THEN CONSUMER SAFETY.
