2008 Nissan Altima VISIBILITY/WIPER

DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE "MELTING". THE DASH HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY. THE SHINE FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD. THIS GLARE HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS INTERFERED WITH MY DRIVING ABILITY. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND THE SUN SHINES ALL YEAR. THIS GLARE IS NO DOUBT A SAFETY HAZARD AND MUST BE RECALLED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN HQ AND BOTH PLACES WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO REPAIR THIS WITHOUT CHARGING $. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS IMPAIRING THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE WINDOW. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING CREATING A SHINY COAT THAT REFLECTS TO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DIMINISHING VISIBILITY AND CREATING POTENTIAL HAZARDS, SPECIALLY DURING THE DAY AS IT OMITS A BLINDING SUN GLARE. THE CAR NO LONGER HAS NISSAN WARRANTY AND CONSIDERING THE HAZARD AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THE ISSUE NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF DASHBOARDS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES ON IT. GARAGE KEEP. VERY NICE CAR. I NOTICED LAST MONTH A SPOT THAT LOOKED LIKED MY DASH MELTED . NOW A MONTH LATER IT HAS SPREAD. I HAVE PUT NOTHING ON IT. IT LOOKS VERY SHINY AND STICKY WHEN TOUCHED. IT LOOKS LIKE THE MATERIAL IS BREAKING DOWN. I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS CAR ON A SUNNY DAY BECAUSE ALL I SEE IN MY FRONT WINDSHIELD IS THE REFLECTION OF MY DASH. I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE THE OTHER DAY HAVING TO SWERVE JUST IN TIME. I COULDN'T EVEN SEE THEM. JUST BLACK SHINY DASH. THIS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH. I HAVE CALLED AND THEY JUST KINDA LAUGH SAYING " I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT" . YOU CAN CLEARLY TELL THE MATERIAL IS BREAKING DOWN . THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND NISSAN SHOULD FIX THIS BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. *TR

DASHBOARD OF THIS VEHICLE IS EMITTING A STICKY, SHINY, SUBSTANCE, WHICH LIKELY INDICATES DETERIORATION OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE DASHBOARD, MAKING DRIVING HAZARDOUS, AS IT MAKES VISIBILITY OUT THE WINDSHIELD DIFFICULT. THE STICKY SUBSTANCE IS HIGHLY REFLECTIVE, MAKING DRIVING IN THE SUN VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE AND THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. WE WILL ALL FILE COMPLAINTS DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE. THE DASHBOARD MELTING IS CAUSING A REFLECTION ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKING IT SEE. I AM TRYING TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THIS ISSUE. I STARTED TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM, BUT IT WAS MINUTE. I AM RESEARCHING OUT NOW BECAUSE IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. LOCATION: FLORIDA ( MOST OF THE CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM ARE LOCATED IN FLORIDA AND TEXAS). *TR

2008 ALTIMA COUPE IN SOUTHERN LOUISIANA WITH NO AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS HAS A MELTING DASHBOARD. THE TEXTURED SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO A STICKY, SMOOTH, AND REFLECTIVE SURFACE. THE MATERIAL ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE ODOMETER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG NEAREST TO THE WINDSHIELD IS STICKY AND REFLECTS SUNLIGHT ONTO THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A GLARE WHILE DRIVING. SAFETY IS AT RISK DUE TO INABILITY TO SEE PAST GLARE ON WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. GLARE IS CAUSED BY THE SUN REFLECTING OFF OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD POINTS. THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY CHEMICALS WIPED ON THE DASHBOARD DURING OWNERSHIP. *TR

SINCE 6/2013 THE DASHBOARD OF THIS VEHICLE IS EMITTING A STICKY, SHINY, SUBSTANCE, WHICH LIKELY INDICATES DETERIORATION OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE DASHBOARD, MAKING DRIVING HAZARDOUS, AS IT MAKES VISIBILITY OUT THE WINDSHIELD DIFFICULT. THE STICKY SUBSTANCE IS HIGHLY REFLECTIVE, MAKING DRIVING IN THE SUN VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE TRIPS TO OUR NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION, AND ALTHOUGH THEY INDICATE THAT THEY HAVE OBSERVED THIS SITUATION WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL/YEAR, THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. I ALSO CONTACTED CONSUMER SERVICES WITH NISSAN AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD, EVEN THOUGH IT PRESENTS A HAZARD TO DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR
