2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Structure Problems

2008 Nissan Altima: Noticed this year a shiny gleam on the dashboard. This windshield gets hazy. The dashboard is melting, it is sticking and shiny. When a fingernail is pressed, it will actually sink into the dashboard and leave a mark. The dashboard cannot take any cleaning or friction. When the dashboard is touched it leaves fingers sticky. Became more of an issue this year now that I have a grandchild. MY other vehicle is a mini cooper 2 door which is not feasible to hold a car seat and baby. I now have the carseat in the Nissan and now it has become more of a problem because i cannot use the other car as alternative transportation when I have my grandchild. It is very difficult to drive with the glare it causes, and it is a safety issue not only for me but for others. When the sun...

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA (VIN# [XXX]). I HAVE TO TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU: 1) WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE DASHBOARDS TOWARDS THEIR STICKINESS & MELTING? ESPECIALLY SINCE TOYOTA RECALLED THEIRS BECAUSE OF THAT. 2) WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE TPMS? IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. WITH IT ON ALL THE TIME, HOW ARE SUPPOSED TO TELL WHEN THE AIR IS LOW. IF I TURN IT OFF, IT WON'T COME BACK ON EVEN WHEN THE TIRES ARE LOW. IF I REPLACE ONE, I HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM. NTB HAS EVEN TRIED PUTTING NITROGEN IN THE TIRES. BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SHOWING A RESIDUE ON FRONT DASH ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. IT HAS WORSENED TO POINT WHERE A GLARE FROM SUNLIGHT REFLECTION DISRUPTS FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASHBOARD MELTING IN WARMER CLIMATES WITH HIGHER QUANTITY OF SUNLIGHT. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 ALTIMA WAS MELTING ESPECIALLY AROUND THE AIR VENTS. THERE'S ALSO A BURN SMELL COMING FROM THE SHINY AREA. IT'S BECOMING HARD TO SEE DURING THE DAY DUE TO GLARE FROM THE SHINY AREA. ALSO I DID NOTICE MY AC SYSTEM WAS MAKING STRANGE NOISES AND WOULD SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHEN I TURNED IT ON. SOMETIMES IT BLOWS WARM AIR AND HAS COMPLETELY DIED RECENTLY. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO MENTIONED THAT HE'S NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE A MELTING DASHBOARD IN HIS 20+ YEARS OF REPAIRING CARS. HE RAN A DYE TEST ON THE AC AND STRANGELY THERE WAS NO FREON LEAK. HE HAD TO DRAIN ALL THE FREON SO THAT I CAN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF IN CASE I TRIED TO START THE AC. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $1000 JUST FOR...

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S STARTED SHOWING A RESIDUE ON FRONT DASH ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. IT HAS WORSENED TO POINT WHERE A GLARE FROM SUNLIGHT REFLECTION DISRUPTS FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASHBOARD MELTING IN WARMER CLIMATES WITH HIGHER QUANTITY OF SUNLIGHT. I'VE RESEARCHED SOME OF THE REASONS WHY AND IT APPEARS IT IS DUE TO LOWER GRADE FORMULATION OF PLASTIC USED IN THIS MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER MANUFACTURERS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEGAN TO SEEP LIQUID OUT OF THE RUBBER THAT THEY USE AND IS MAKING THE GLARE FROM THE DASH ON THE WINDSHIELD EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING THE DAY WITH THE GLARE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND DETERIORATING. EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY. VERY GLARY IN BOTH NIGHT AND DAYTIME DRIVING. IT'S A REAL VISIBILITY ISSUE. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY POSSIBLY BE AFFECTED ALSO.

THAT IS WHY THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PART. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY SON'S 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS MELTED. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS PRODUCING A STICKY SUBSTANCE. DEALER TELLS ME THE SUBSTANCE IS GLUE BECAUSE THE DASH IS MELTING. NISSAN WILL NOT HELP IN ANYWAY EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAS IMPECCABLE SERVICE RECORDS. I AM CONCERNED THE SUBSTANCE CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH BECOMES A SAFETY CONCERN AND I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED AS TO WHAT WE ARE INHALING WHILE IN THE VEHICLE. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR FAULTY PARTS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO TEST THESE DASHBOARDS AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON.

MY DASHBOARD STARTING MELTING ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. I LEFT A MESSAGE ON NISSANS FACEBOOK PAGE AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO GET IT DIAGNOSED. I DID THAT AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A MELTING DASHBOARD. I SENT ALL THE PAPERWORK BACK TO THEM AND THEY ANSWERED ME BY SAYING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED SO THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS VERY STICKY AND IS LEAVING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKING IT HARD TO SEE. IT IT ALSO CRACKING IN VARIOUS PLACES. NISSAN SHOULD NOT SELL A CAR THAT CANNOT STAND THE SOUTH FLORIDA SUN! I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO TAKE CHARGE AND REPLACE MY DASHBOARD FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING MISTAKE NOT CAUSED BY ME! *TR

NEARLY 1/3 OF THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED, LEAVING A STICKY RESIDUE THAT CAUSES EXTREME AND SUDDEN REFLECTION OF SUNLIGHT, INCLUDING DURING HIGH SPEED DRIVING. THIS IS NOT COSMETIC - IT IS SIMPLY A SAFETY ISSUE. MY MECHANIC, WITH MORE THAN 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE, HAS STATED THAT HE HAS NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE (EVEN OLD VEHICLES) WITH MELTING AS EXTENSIVE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS BEFORE IT CAUSES A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR

I LIVE IN HAWAII AND AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS OWNING THIS VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO MELT CAUSING A VERY BAD GLARE TO THE DRIVER. THE MELTING STARTED SMALL BUT GOT WORSE OVER TIME. I BELIEVE THE GLARE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY NISSAN TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE NEVER PUT ANY KIND OF PRODUCT, THE ONLY REASON I CAN THINK OF IS THE HOT SUN LIVING IN HAWAII. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS BY NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS IN WARM CLIMATES AS WELL. *JS

CARS DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY PEELING OFF WHEN TOUCHED. STICKY RESIDUE REMAINS ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT WON'T CLEAN OFF. WHENEVER THE SUN IS OUT, THE SHINY, STICKY DASHBOARD REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A BLINDING GLARE. THIS GLARE ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED VISIBILTY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY NISSAN. *JS

THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO MELT AND IT IS ONLY GETTING WORST. IT IS STICKY ,YOU CANNOT CLEAN OR WIPE. BUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE EXTREME GLARE OFF THE SHINY MELTED SURFACE. DESPITE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, NISSAN SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ANY DASHBOARD MELT. I AM ALSO NOT SURE IF THERE IS A HEALTH RISK. *TR

NISSAN IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THIS DEFECT DESPITE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND ACCIDENTS REPORTED. *TR

MY WIFE AND I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE DASHBOARD OF OUR CAR IS MELTING. WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY BECAUSE THE GLARE OFF OF THE SHINY MELTED SURFACE CAN DECREASE THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO SEE PERFECTLY CLEAR. IT IS A HAZARD, ESPECIALLY DURING SUNNY DAYS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, AND I NOTICE MANY OTHER CAR'S OWNER EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THE MELTING IS GETTING WORSE AND NISSAN DON'T WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND EVERYONE AROUND. *TR

APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MY DASHBOARD A STICKY SURFACE HAS APPEARED WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND I'M CONCERN WHEN IT COMES TO ME OR ANYONE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING THE DAY AS THIS CAUSES A GLARE FROM THE SUN THAT CAN BE DISTRACTING AND ANNOYING AT TIMES. I ALSO DONE KNOW IF I'M BREATHING ANY HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL FROM THIS ISSUE, THERE IS NO REASON FOR MY CAR TO BE HAVING THIS ISSUE AS THIS HAS OCCURRED ON ITS OWN, PLEASE ASSIST AND ADVISE WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURE SINCE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR MOTTO IN SERVING THEIR CUSTOMER FOR PRODUCTS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SL, I LIVE IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA. MY DASH IS "MELTING" AND HAS BECOME A SHINY, STICKY BLACK MESS THAT CREATES AN INCREDIBLE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I'M AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I WANT TO ADD MY NAME TO THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS. I FOUND IT ANNOYING THAT THE DASH WAS MELTING, I'VE HAD OTHER CAR DASHES CRACK IN THE HEAT, BUT NOT MELT. THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT THE DASH IS SO SHINY NOW IT CAN BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE A YEAR OR SO AGO. I'VE SELECTED JAN 1, 2014 ARBITRARILY. IT WAS AROUND THAT TIME THAT THE ISSUE REALLY STARTED BEING A PROBLEM. *TR
