2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Visibilitywiper Problems

STICKY SUBSTANCE ON DASH/ 2ND TRANSMISSION IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS

DASHBOARD, STEERING WHEEL, AND SHIFT HANDLE HAVE ALL MELTED FROM HEAT. THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME ALMOST LIQUIFIED, AND THE GLARE FROM THE NOW SHINY SURFACE CREATES A REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME GUMMY, MAKING STEERING UNSAFE, AND THE RUBBERY MATERIAL ON THE SHIFT HANDLE HAS BECOME GUMMY, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY SHIFT GEARS ACCUARATELY.

DASH BOARD IS MELTING... CAUSING EXTREME GLARE WHILE DRIVING.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSING GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD

DASHBOARD MELTING RESULTING IN STICKY GOO TO THE TOUCH THUS RESULTING IN VISIBILITY ISSUES. TERRIBLE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD CAUSING SEVERE VISIBILITY ISSUES - UNABLE TO SEE THRU THE GLARED WINDSHIELD TO DRIVE SAFELY. ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWS THE SEVERITY OF THE GLARE AS LIGHT SHINES THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 ULTIMA HAS MELTED INTO A SHINY RUBBER CAUSING SERIOUS VISIBILITY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING DURING SUNNY BRIGHT DAYS. I RESORTED TO PUTTING A PLASTIC RECTANGLE TO COVER THE REFLECTION ON MY MORNING COMMUTE, BUT NOW THAT PLASTIC IS STUCK AND SEMI-PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO THE DASHBOARD FROM THE STICKINESS. THE ATTACHED PICTURES WERE TAKEN ON MY DRIVEWAY. NOTICE THE REFLECTION OF THE ROCK WALL AND WHITE GARAGE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. DURING MORNING OR AFTERNOON SUNNY CONDITIONS, THE GLARE BECOMES UNBEARABLE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE VERY PREVALENT SPECIFICALLY WITH A 2008 MODEL YEAR ALTIMA. NOT 2007 AND NOT 2009 SO CLEARLY IT'S A DEFECT AND A HAZARDOUS ONE TOO VISUALLY. ALSO THERE ARE UNKNOWN CONSEQUENCES OF THE FOWEL TAR LIKE ORDER WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR MOST PROMINENTLY PRESENT AFTE THE CAR SITS CLOSED FOR A WHILE.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAR HAS MELTED, PRESUMABLY FROM THE HOT SUN. IT HAS BECOME STICKY AND MESS. HOWEVER, IT HAS ALSO BECOME VERY SHINY. THE SHINE REFECTS DANGEROUSLY INTO THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING, OBSCURING OBJECTS, INCLUDING CARS AND PEDESTRIANS, ON THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM FIRST BEGAN ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO BUT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE ATTACHED PHOTO, TAKEN TODAY, SHOWS HOW THE DRIVER CANNOT SEE A LARGE SUV RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY THE MELTED DASHBOARD.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE HAS STARTED MELTING. THE GLARE FROM THE SUN ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE ON A SUNNY DAY IN LATE AFTERNOON. I KNOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THIS IN FLORIDA, BUT I LIVE IN TENNESSEE.

I BOUGHT A 2008 NISSAN ALTMAN COUPE , IN OCTOBER 2014. MY DASHBOARD HAS STARTED TO MELT IN SEVERAL AREAS. NOT ONLY IS THERE A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY THE DASHBOARD, BUT MY CAR HAS STARTED TO SMELL LIKE BURNING RUBBER WHEN I TRY AND USE MY DE FROST. MY CAR IS KEPT IN THE GARAGE, AND I LIVE IN ILLINOIS.

THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD HAS 'MELTED,' BECOMING STICKY AND VERY SHINY. IT CREATES SIGNIFICANT REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD, REDUCING VISIBILITY.

THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING. THE DASHBOARD APPEARS VERY SHINY AND IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH. THE SHINY DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES VISIBILITY. THE STICKINESS ALSO TRAPS DUST, DIRT, ETC. ADDING TO THE REFLECTION ON THE GLASS.

ADHESIVE USED TO ASSEMBLE DASHBOARD IS DETERIORATING AND MIGRATING TO TOP SURFACE OF DASHBOARD CAUSING SEVERE GLARE WHICH IS IN DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT IMPAIRING SAFE OPERATION OF VEHICLE IN GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE STICKY SUBSTANCE FIRST APPEARED DURING JANUARY OF 2016

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 2.5S - DASHBOARD IS MELTING, TO A POINT THAT THE REFLECTION OF IT ON THE GLASS IS AFFECTING BY ALMOST 90% MY VISIBILITY. PUTTING MYSELF, MY FOUR YEARS OLD DAUGHTER, AND OTHER (PEDESTRIANS) AT RISK.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA DASH HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY CAUSING A GLARE THAT MAKES IT HARD TO SEE AT TIMES. THIS ALSO PREVENTS IT FROM BEING CLEANED. IT HAS MELTED. THIS WAS FIRST NOTICED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

DASHBOARD MELTING. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE PEDESTRIAN, ROAD, VEHICLES DUE TO GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUNLIGHT REFLECTS FROM THE DASHBOARD. THE GLARE IMPAIRS THE VISION AND WE HAD MANY NEAR MISS INCIDENTS THAT COULD HAVE COST LIVES, PROPERTY DAMAGE. WE REQUEST RECALL CONSIDERING THE SAFETY OF ALL ON THE ROAD.

08 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN SOUTH FLORIDA FEBRUARY 08 THAT I'VE OWNED SINCE HAS A MELTED, STICKY, AND CRACKED DASHBOARD. ALSO, THE DASH IS CHANGING COLORS. THE DEFECTIVE AND MELTED DASHBOARD MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE SUN REFLECTS ON THE DASHBOARD MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. AS REFERENCED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TRACY SANBORN V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. MY CAR SHOULD BE COVERED. I SPOKE WITH A REP AT 1-800-NISSAN-1 AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NO IDEA THIS EXISTING. I HAVE OPENED MY CASE AND WILL HOPEFULLY GET IT FIXED SOON.

THE MATERIAL ON THE DASH IS MELTING, AND THERE ARE CHUNKS BREAKING OFF, GREATLY AFFECTING THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE. THIS ALSO CAUSES A REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS A GLARE IN THE DIRECT LINE OF MY VISION AND WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. I HAVE HEARD OTHER MAKES OF THIS SAME YEAR HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AND HAD MANUFACTURE RECALL. HOPEFULLY NISSAN WILL FOLLOW SUIT. SOON.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD RESTRICTING MY VISION. THE VISION RESTRICTION CAUSED BY THIS GLARE MAKES DRIVING HAZARDOUS IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED TRADING IN THE VEHICLE FOR THIS SOLE ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY REPLACE THESE DASHBOARDS OR AT LEAST PAY FOR 50 PERCENT OF THE COSTS. I HAVE ALSO CONSIDERED JOINING THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WHICH HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST NISSAN.

THE DASHBOARD IS ACTUALLY MELTING CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN PROPER AND SUFFICIENT VISIBILTY DUE TO EXCESSIVE GLARE REFLECTING OFF OF MELTING DASHBOARD. THIS IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT IN SEEING PEDESTRIANS, ANIMALS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND SIGNS. I'VE HAD TOO MANY CLOSE CALLS OF NOT SEEING PEDESTRIANS FROM THIS GLARE UNTIL THE I WAS ALMOST ON TOP OF THEM.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT HAS BECOME SHINY WHICH CAUSES THERE TO BE A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH CAN HAMPER THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSING ME TO LOOSE VISABILITY. THERE IS NO RECALL AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO STOP IT.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND BEGINNING TO SPREAD DOWN TO THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. I CAN BARELY SEE WHEN I DRIVE BECAUSE THE GLARE IS TOO BAD. I ALMOST RAN OVER SOMETHING AND HAD TO SWERVE BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE IT...IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THERE SHE BE A RECALL BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST.

THE DASH SURFACE HAS SEVERE MELTING AND THE RESULTANT GLARE CAUSES VISIBILITY TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE RESULT OF THE MELTING DASH SURFACE CAN CREATE TEMPORARY BLINDING CONDITIONS AS THE VEHICLE ORIENTS TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND AFTER DARK STREET LIGHTING. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY AND FIXED BY NISSAN.

MY DASHBOARD HAS STARTED BECOMING GOOEY AND VERY SHINY. IF I TOUCH IT, IT FEELS LIKE I AM TOUCHING AN ADHESIVE USED FOR SOMETHING LIKE A BUMPER STICKER. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THIS IS VERY REFLECTIVE AND PROJECTS A GLARING IMAGE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE PARTS OF THE ROAD AHEAD.

THE DASHBOARD MELTS AND IT'S AN SAFETY ISSUE. SOMETIMES I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD BECASUE THE MELTED DASHBOARD SHINES ON THE WINDSHIELD.

THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT BAD. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PROTECH IT WITH SUNSHADES BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO MELT. THIS IS CAUSING GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD AND CAUSING OBSTRUCTION FOR MY DRIVING AND BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. NOT SURE WHY NHSTA IS WAITING FOR SOME ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN. I WOULD REQUEST RECALL AND FIX THE DASHBOARD ISSUE

THE DASHBOARD ON MY ALTIMA IS MELTING AND IS EXTREMELY STICKY AND CANNOT BE CLEANED. THE DEFECT CAUSES A HORRENDOUS GLARE AND MAKES IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUTSIDE WHICH IS QUITE OFTEN IN LOUISIANA. THIS IS CLEARLY A FAULT IN THE HANDS OF NISSAN.

THE DASHBOARD FOR MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE IS MELTING. IN SUNLIGHT (MOST OF THE DAY), MY VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD IS DECREASED TREMENDOUSLY DUE TO GLARE THE MELTING MATERIAL CAUSES TO REFLECT ON THE FRONT WINDOW. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. FROM ONLINE SEARCHES, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR MANY NISSAN ALTIMA DRIVERS, AND NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RESPOND AND REPLACE THESE MELTING DASHBOARDS. A RECALL IS NEEDED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS.

DASHBOARD MELTED AND CAUSES A SEVERE GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS GLARE LIMITS VIABILITY AND IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING.

I LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AND OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE. MY DASHBOARD BEGAN TO REFLECT A REAL BAD GLARE WHILE MY HUSBAND DRIVES. HE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AS I AM NOT. HE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT IT AS WELL BUT IT IS EVIDENT THAT HE SEES THE GLARE AS I SEE IT AS WELL. COME TO FIND OUT I HAVE A MELTING DASHBOARD PER NISSAN AUTO TECHNICIANS. IT IS GOOEY, STICKY, AND CAUSES SUCH A BAD GLARE THAT WE ONLY DRIVE IN EARLY MORNING OR LATE EARLY EVENING WHEN THE SUN IS NOT SO EXTREME. THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING THESE AT NO COST FOR OTHER VEHICLES. I PLACED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AS I WAS ADVISED. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THEM ON 8/28/15, STATING THAT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE DASHBOARD...

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING AWAY AND HAS LEFT BEHIND A VERY STICKY AND SHINY SURFACE THAT EMITS A VERY STRONG VISION IMPAIRING GLARE ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. DUE TO THIS GLARE, I HAVE HAD ALMOST A NUMBER OF NEAR MISS ACCIDENT SITUATIONS SINCE THIS ISSUE BEGUN IN 2012-13. THE GLARE IMPACTS YOUR VISIBLY, ADDING MORE DISTRACTION AND LIMITS RESPONSE TIME WHEN AGGRESSIVE OR PHONE DISTRACTED DRIVES SUDDENLY SWERVE OR PULL OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AS YOU TRY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. APART FROM THE GLARE, THE DASHBOARD IS EMITTING A VERY STRONG CHEMICAL LIKE ODOR WHICH MAKES ME CONCERNED FOR MY OVERALL HEALTH. I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS HEALTHY FOR ANY DRIVER/PASSENGER TO HAVE TO BE BREATHING IN THE TOXIC PARTICLES FROM THE MATERIALS AND GLUE OF WHICH THE PART IS MADE OF. MY OTHER CONCERN IN THIS SITUATION IS THE IMPACT THE DEFECTED MELTING...

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA'S DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING. THE STICKY RESIDUE REFLECTS IN THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A GLARE WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAYTIME. IN MY OPINION THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

MY DASHBOARD HAS STARTED TO MELT. IT MAKES THE DASHBOARD VERY STICKY AS IF IT IS AN ADHESIVE PRODUCT AND TURNS COLORS. DUE TO THIS OVER TIME, THE VIEW OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD IS OBSTRUCTED BY A GLARE FROM ANY LIGHT SOURCE WHETHER ITS FROM THE SUN OR FROM A STREET LAMP. I DO NOT USE ANY CLEANING PRODUCTS OTHER THAN A WET RANG FOR THE DASH WHEN CLEANING THE CAR, AND I TAKE PRIDE IN MY VEHICLE. SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, NISSAN WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DASH EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN SAFETY ISSUE AS SOME PEDESTRIANS OR ROAD HAZARDS ARE ALMOST UNAVOIDABLE DUE TO THE GLARE. IN ADDITION, EVERYTHING STICKS TO THE DASH INCLUDING PAPER, SUN VISORS, AND EVEN BUGS AS I AM LOCATED IN MIAMI, FL.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 ALTIMA HAS BEEN MELTING FOR THE PAST YEAR AND IS CAUSING A LARGE AREA OF GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I BROUGHT IT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR, THEY TOLD ME I HAD USED A CHEMICAL ON THE DASHBOARD, THAT IT NEEDED TO BE CLEANED OFF, AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO TO FIX IT. THEY DID NOT ADDRESS THE STICKINESS, EITHER. THIS ISSUE OF A MELTING DASH IS DANGEROUS, AS IT CAUSES DECREASED VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WITH ANY AMOUNT OF SUNLIGHT. PLEASE MAKE NISSAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING LOWER QUALITY MATERIALS BY REPLACING THE DASHBOARDS WITH A BETTER QUALITY MATERIAL AT NO COST TO THE CAR OWNER.

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD "MELTING". MAJORITY OF DASHBOARD NOW LOOKS SHINNY AND APPEARS TO HAVE A LIQUID SHINE TO IT, WHICH CAUSES BLIND SPOTS DURING DRIVING DUE TO THE REFLECTIVE NATURE OF THE "MELTED" DASH. CANNOT TOUCH, CLEAN, OR WIPE THE DASH AS THE SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO TACKY GLUE. NOTHING HAS BEEN SPRAYED ON THE DASH TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE, THIS IS JUST THE HEAT BUILDING UP INTERNALLY AND THE DESIGN OF THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL BEING SUBSTANDARD.

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED WITH A MELTED DASHBOARD WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I CAN'T SEE WHEN THE SUN IS REFLECTING OFF THE MELTED (WET) DASHBOARD. MORE RECENTLY THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS EXPLODED AND IS CRACKED WITH THE INNER MATERIAL SHOWING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULT IN THE MANUFACTURING, I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 2008 COUPE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT INTERFERES WITH THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY.

DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN TO MELT, LEAVING A STICKY RESIDUE THAT IS HIGHLY REFLECTIVE. IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, IT WILL REFLECT ONTO WINDSHIELD CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY. RESIDUE WILL NOT WIPE OFF. ATTRACTS LOOSE FIBERS, DIRT, AND DEBRIS. INNER DASHBOARD TOWARD AIRBAG AND STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO PITTING DUE TO A TACKY TEXTURE FROM MELTING....UPDATED 07/13/16 *BF

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE IS GIVING OFF A STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL, IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS SO SHINY THAT IT GENERATES AN INTENSE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. THE WINDSHIELD GLARE IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD THAT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE -- IT USED TO BE THAT I COULD GET BY WITH WEARING SUNGLASSES BUT NOW THE GLARE IS SO INTENSE THAT EVEN WITH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES ON, I HAVE TO LEAN THIS WAY AND THAT IN ORDER TO SEE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME. IF I WERE TO LOSE MY SUNGLASSES WHILE OUT AND ABOUT, I WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE UNABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL AFTER SUNSET. IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME AND EVERYONE ON THE ROAD TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITH SUCH BAD WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTION. ANY BUGS OR DEBRIS THAT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD THAT ARE MELTING...

DASHBOARD MELTDOWN - CAUSING DANGEROUS GLARE WHEN DRIVING NISSAN STATES NOT APART OF RECALL? ?

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED. THE GLARE HAS BRICKS SO BAD THAT IT S A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN DRIVING IN DAYLIGHT. SUNLIGHT REFLECTS AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC AHEAD.

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

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO DASHBOARD MELTING. THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND GIVES OFF A GLARE DURING THE DAYTIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND BLINDS MY VISION WHEN I DRIVE DURING THE DAY. PLEASE NISSAN FIX THIS ISSUE. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MATERIALS USED WHEN MANUFACTURING A VEHICLE. CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS CONCERNS AND FIX MY DASHBOARD. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS BEEN MELTING FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AND IS NOW CAUSING SUCH A LARGE AND INTENSE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE DURING DAYTIME HOURS AND AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING UNDER LIGHTS. THE DASHBOARD IS CONSTANTLY STICKY AND COMES OFF IN CHUNKS WHEN YOU TOUCH IT. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME HAVE EVEN REPORTED ISSUES/POSSIBLE ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS. IT WASN'T UNTIL TODAY WHEN I SEARCHED AGAIN, HOPING OTHERS MAY HAVE COME UP WITH A SOLUTION, THAT I FOUND A THREAD ON FACEBOOK (HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/NISSANUSA/POSTS/10152938385130375) DISCUSSING ACTIONS TO TAKE TO BETTER THIS SITUATION. ONE NISSAN OWNER SUGGESTED FILING A COMPLAINT HERE. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPORTED QUOTES FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIPS RANGING FROM $300 TO OVER $2500 WHEN NISSAN KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT AND IT IS NOT...

I LIVE IN JACKSONVILLE, FL AND THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR APPEARS TO BE MELTING. THE GLARE THIS CAUSES CAN BE VERY BAD AND DANGEROUS. I'VE HAD TO STRUGGLE WITH SEEING OUT OF THE CAR IN THE EVENINGS BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. *TR

DASHBOARD IS SHINY FROM PLASTICIZERS (?) LEACHING OUT OR BREAKING DOWN CAUSING GLARE THAT IS OBSTRUCTING VISION CAUSING AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. THIS GLARE OBSTRUCTS THE DRIVERS VIEW ENOUGH TO MAKE DRIVING UNSAFE TO PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLISTS, OTHER MOTORISTS AND OCCUPANT OF THIS VEHICLE. *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

DASHBOARDS MELTING AND CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT IMPAIRS DRIVING ABILITY. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE ON THE ROAD, I CANNOT SEE WHERE I AM DRIVING. *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

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

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASH IS MELTING. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN FACING THE SUN AND A SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ITEM. *TR
