MY DASHBOARD IS STICKING AND STARTING TO MELT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 IS MELTING (LITERALLY). I NOTICED A SMALL POND OF GOO LIKE MATERIAL ON MY DASHBOARD. IN LESS THAN A WEEK IT SPREAD OUT LIKE CANCER AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD. THIS POND OF GOO REFLECTS THE SUNLIGHT ON THE WINDSHIELD, CREATING A GLARE THAT BLOCKS MY VIEW AND ENDANGERS MY ABILITY TO DRIVE. NOT TO MENTION THE LOSS OF MY INVESTMENT NOT CAUSED BY IMPROPER USE OF THE VEHICLE (SEE PICTURE) I'VE UNSUCCESSFULLY TRIED TO GET NISSAN TO ASSUME THE REPAIR OF THEIR DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. I'M NOT CLAIMING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR MECHANICAL ITEMS BUT RATHER A REAL LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I'VE TALKED TO ADRIAN (457295), JOHN (457263), JESSICA (57758). I WENT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT IT'LL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE MELTING AND ONLY REPLACING COULD FIX THE ISSUE. TODAY NICK (7583) CALLED ME TO SYMPATHIZE WITH ME BUT HOW UNFORTUNATELY...

I HAVE A CRACK SEPARATING IN A PERFECT SEEM AROUND THE NISSAN SYMBOL ON THE STEERING WHEEL, WHERE AN AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY- FROM THE FAR LEFT, ALL THE WAY TO THE FAR RIGHT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT HAS CAUSED THIS TO OCCUR, THIS ISSUE WAS NOTICED BY MYSELF ON 11/17/14. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE TEMPE AUTONATION NISSAN 11/18/14 AT 3 PM TO MEET WITH THE SERVICE TEAM MEMBER, [XXX]. I WAS EXPLAINING THE CRACK AND SEPARATING OF THE MATERIALS TO [XXX] PRIOR TO HIM LOOKING AT MY CAR.AFTER SHOWING HIM THE WHEEL, I HAD STATED "I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS SITUATION LOOKS VERY SAFE AND IT'S DEFINITELY NOT COMFORTABLE", AND [XXX] REPLIED "YEAH", AGREEING WITH MY STATEMENT. [XXX] PROCEEDED TO TAKE DOWN MY VIN AND LOOK IT UP IN HIS COMPUTER.HE SAID MY CAR WAS NOT A PART OF ANY RECALLS AND THAT...

DASHBOARD IS MELTING. *TR

MY NISSIAN ALTIMA, THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO CRACK AND MELT. THE LOCAL NEWS CHANNEL IN MY AREA DID INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISE TO FILE A COMPLAINT, AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ONLY SOLUTION IS TO HAVE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD REPLACED. *JS

THE REAR SWAY BAR ON MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA IS BROKEN. I DRIVE LESS THAN 6,000 MILES PER YEAR, AND RARELY IN BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS, BUT I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA SWAY BAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN NOT DRIVING THAT MANY MILES (I ONLY KNEW TO HAVE IT CHECKED BECAUSE I PARKED ON A HILL AND COULD SEE SOMETHING HANGING FROM MY CAR. OTHERWISE, WITH THE LIMITED NUMBER OF MILES I DRIVE, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD MY CAR CHECKED, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE THIS WHOLE TIME). *JS

I WALKED OUT OF MY HOUSE AND MY WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CRACK BEGINS AT THE PASSENGER SIDE MOLDING OF THE WINDOW AND SPREADS ALL THE WAY TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE, THERE WAS NOTHING ON MY WINDOW. SINCE THIS OCCURRED TO PRESENT, I HAVE SEEN ABOUT 3 OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA'S AND ONE BRAND NEW NISSAN MAXIMA, WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE OWNERS HAVE ALSO STATED IT CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO FIND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE. *TR

SWAY BAR BROKE FOR NO REASON. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. IT IS A HOLLOW SWAY BAR. *KB

PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. 1. FIRST PROBLEM STARTED WHEN I HEARD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN I START THE CAR (THIS WAS 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR). INCREASE RPM TO 1.5 RPM TO GET A LOUDER, CRISPER NOISE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE HEAT SHIELD WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOOK 2 WEEKS FOR THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOISE WENT AWAY. 2. NOISE CAME BACK AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER AFTER IT WAS FIXED. BROUGHT IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT TO GET DIFFERENT OPINION. FINDS OUT THE HEAT SHIELD WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. RESOLVED, AND LATER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS NOISE. 3. HAD A 110LB PASSENGER ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT TURNED ON. HAVE YET TO GO TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHY...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE AIR BAG LIGHT BLINKED INTERMITTENTLY AND REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WEIGHS 112 LBS. WHEN RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF A TAHOE, SHE STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL BECAUSE HER AIR BAG HAS A SMART SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS INCORRECT AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO INSTALL THE AIR BAG ON/OFF SWITCH IN THE VEHICLE. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,806 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,341. UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ THE DEALER STATED PASSENGER FRONT SPEAKER POPPING OFF, VEHICLE SOUNDS REALLY LOUD, AND SOMETIMES KEY LIGHT WILL STAY ON. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR
