2008 Nissan Altima Structure

DASHBOARD ON MY ALTIMA IS MELTING AND CAUSING DANGEROUS GLARE! *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS PEELING AND CRACKING WHICH IS CAUSING VISION PROBLEMS WHILE I AM DRIVING DUE TO THE GLARING SUN. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND MY JOB INCLUDES LOTS OF TRAVEL DURING THE HOTTEST PART OF THE DAY. THE PEELING DASHBOARD AND THE SUN CAUSES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD WHICH HAMPERS MY VISIBILITY. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT IF IT IS NOT RECALLED. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY ALTIMA IS MELTING. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA AND ITS DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS PHENOMENON IS SIMPLY EMBARRASSING FOR A GOOD COMPANY SUCH NISSAN. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 08 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, BUT HAS GOT ALOT WORSE OVER TIME. IT BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY, BECAUSE IT PUTS OFF A BLINDING GLARE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THE DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT BE MELTING AT ALL!! *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING ON TOP NEAR THE STEERING WHEEL AND ALSO NEAR WHERE THE DEFROST VENTS ARE. *TR

I KEEP MY CAR IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. I WAS CLEANING MY DASH AND NOTICED A VERY STICKY SUBSTANCE. MY DASHBOARD IS SUPER SOFT AND SINKING. LIKE ITS MELTING. I HOPE NO TOXIC FUMES ARE BEING RELEASED AND MY DASHBOARD DOESN'T COLLAPSE OR CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE. *TR

AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS OF OWNING MY CAR (NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 08), I BEGAN TO NOTICE A STICKY SUBSTANCE ON MY DASHBOARD. AFTER A LITTLE WHILE I REALIZED THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY MELTING. THE MELTING SPREAD TO COVER ABOUT 80% OF THE DASHBOARD. AS TIME PASSED, THE STICKINESS HAS CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE DURING MID-DAY HOURS BECAUSE OF THE GLARE COMING OFF THE DASHBOARD AND HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. EVEN WITH HIGH END POLARIZED SUNGLASSES, I AM SCARED OF DRIVING BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MANY THINGS I CAN'T REALLY SEE ON THE ROAD. RECENTLY, IN ADDITION TO THE STICKY MELTING DASH IT HAS BEGAN TO CRACK ALONG THE EDGES. THE SIDE AND BACK WINDOWS HAVE BEEN TINTED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 07 AND I USED TO USE A SUNSHIELD FOR THE FRONT UNTIL THE MELTING BEGAN BECOMING TOO MESSY TO KEEP USING. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING AND GETTING GOOEY AND STICKY FOR MONTHS. THIS CAUSES A DISTRACTING SPARKLING REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD DURING CERTAIN DAYS WHEN IT IS VERY SUNNY AND THE SUN SHINES DIRECTLY AT WINDSHIELD. THE DEFECT WAS REPORTED TO NISSAN (DEALERSHIP IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA, AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE) BUT THE COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR REPAIRING IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, DESPITE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL AND THE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE DASH IS MELTING SEVERELY. I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS AS A TAR PIT, WHICH HAS SPREAD OVER HALF THE DASH. DURING THE DAY YOU SEE THIS MELTING DASH REFLECTING IN THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS DANGEROUSLY OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVERS VIEW. ( SERIOUSLY ) !!!!!!!! ALSO I'M AWARE THERE'S MANY CAR OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURERS SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE THESE DASHES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. THANK YOU !!!!!!! *TR

MY DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND CREATING A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD. I TRIED WIPING IT DOWN WITH A DAMP CLOTH BUT IT REMAINS VERY STICKY AND THE GLARE REMAINS MAKING IT HARD TO SEE IN THE SUN. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING ON SUNNY DAYS WITH THE GLARE. *TR

DASHBOARD STARTED MELTING SOON AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE GLARE IT CAUSES AS THE SUN SHINING IN. IT HAS GOTTEN SO STICKY THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN PUT A WINDSHIELD COVER UP TO TRY TO PROTECT THE DASH. EVEN WITH THE WINDSHIELD PROTECTOR THE DASH WAS STILL MELTING. *TR

I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL ON MELTED DASHBOARDS FOR TOYOTA AND NISSAN VEHICLES, SO I DECIDED TO FILE A CLAIM. THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR STARTED TO MELT A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT, WHICH WAS A YEAR AGO. *TR

THE DASHBOARD FIRST STARTED GETTING STICKY AND THEN IT STARTED PROGRESSING REALLY FAST WITH THE ALL OVER MELTING AND SINKING IN. THE GLARE WAS SO BAD THAT I FIRST PUT A TOWEL ON IT TILL IT WAS STUCK AND I HAD A HARD TIME REMOVING IT AFTER I GOT A DASHBOARD COVER. NOW I CAN SEE CRACKS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS AND THE SIDE BY THE RADIO. THE SMELL IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I'M REALLY EMBARRASSED ABOUT ANYONE RIDING IN MY CAR EVER THOUGH IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE. I'M HOPING THE CAR MANUFACTURE GETS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THAT THEY WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I KNOW I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN AND WHEN YOU ARE COMPARING THE PRICE OF A NEW CAR COMPARED TO WHAT REPAIRING THE PROBLEM WOULD BE. IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO GO AHEAD AN FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE OWNERS OF THE CAR.. *TR

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE HAS A MELTING DASHBOARD. THE DASH IS MELTING SO BAD THAT IT IS CAUSING AN EXTREMELY BAD GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD AND I CAN'T SEE BRAKE LIGHTS OF CARS AHEAD OF ME OR EVEN A CAR IF IT'S SMALL. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS A BIG GLARE TO IT THAT CAUSES DIFFICULTY VIEWING THE ROAD. IT GETS WORSE DURING THE DAY BUT STILL CAUSES PROBLEMS AT NIGHT. I AM AFRAID I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REACT IN AM ACCIDENT IF I CAN'T SEE. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING A GLARE THAT IS A DANGER IN SEEING PROPERLY. *TR

RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN PARKING IN THE SUN AT WORK AND I'VE NOTICED THAT MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN DAMAGING BY THE HEAT OF THE SUN. IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE ITEMS STICK TO THE DASHBOARD. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE MELTING DASHBOARD CAUSES A REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IT IS HARD TO SEE IN BRIGHT LIGHT. *TR

I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING. IT'S A HAZARD AND IT PRODUCES A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD AND INTERFERES WITH VISIBILITY. I'M AFRAID THAT AN ACCIDENT IS GOING TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE CLEARLY DUE TO THE GLARE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. THE DASHBOARD IS ALSO STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND PIECES ARE STARTING TO COME AWAY FROM THE DASHBOARD. *TR

MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2008 DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND HAS BECOME VERY SHINY. THE REFLECTIVE GLARE IS A HAZARD DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS AND IS UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS BECOMING SOFT CAUSING A STRONG GLAZE TO BE REFLECTED AND WAS RESTRICTING THE VIEW OF THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 9/18/14*CN THE CONSUMER THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING. UPDATED 11/18/14

I AM SO UPSET BECAUSE MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IT LOOKS HORRIBLE. MY DASHBOARD IS SO STICKY AND IS COMING RIGHT OFF AND CANNOT EVEN BE TOUCHED. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE GLARE FROM THE SUN AND DASHBOARD MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE! I AM SAD THAT I PAID SO MUCH MONEY FOR MY CAR AND IT HAS THIS PROBLEM. *JS

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND STICKY. *JS

THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR IS STICKY AND GOOEY AND REFLECTS SUNLIGHT GLARE THAT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH WHEN SUNNY. I AM SHORT AND HAVE TO SIT AND STOP BETWEEN THE GLARE WHERE THERE IS A SMALL AREA THAT DOESNT OBSTRUCT MY VISION. I ALSO HAVE CRACKS AROUND STEERING WHEEL AND STEREO AREAS AND HAVE CHUNK OF THE DASHBOARD NOW REVEALING THE FOAM UNDERNEATH. THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN MINT CONDITION OTHER THAN THE DASH. I REPORTED TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME TO GET ESTIMATE TO GET FIXED. I STILL HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE ON WHAT THEY ARE DOING BUT THE ESTIMATE CAME IN AT OVER 2500 AND I CANT AFFORD TO SHELL OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND SPREADING QUICKLY. I JUST PAID OFF THE CAR IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR AND IT BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF GLARE AT THAT TIME. THE STICKY STARTED AROUND NOVEMBER OR AND I THOUGHT IT WAS OUR FAULT UNTIL I SAW A STORY ABOUT THE MELTING DASHBOARDS ON OUR LOCAL NEWS AND THE PICTURES WERE EXACTLY AS MY CAR SHOWED. I AM MOST CONCERNED WITH THE GLARE AS I FEEL IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE TINTED WINDOWS AND HAVE ALWAYS KEPT MY CAR IN THE GARAGE BUT IT HASNT ELIMINATED OR SLOWED THE ISSUE. *JS
