2007 Nissan Altima Body & Structure Problems

MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD IS ALL CRACKED. THE CRACKS RUN ALONG THE SEAMS AND ALSO STARTED CRACKING EVERYWHERE JUST OUT OF NO WHERE. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN PEMBROKE PINES. THEY TOOK A REPORT AND TOLD ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME. I TRIED TO TELL HIM THE STORY AND HE SAID HE KNEW WHAT TO WRITE. A FEW DAYS LATER A LADY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO FOR ME. IT IS THE HEAT. I KEEP MY CAR UNDER MY CARPORT IN THE SHADE WHENEVER I AM AT HOME WHEN I GO TO WORK IT IS PARKED IN THE SHADE IN THE PARKING GARAGE WHEN I GO SHOPPING, I USE A SUN SHADE. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 65,000 MILES ON IT AND IT LOOKS HORRIBLE INSIDE WITH THE CRACKED DASHBOARD AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE NISSAN TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD SUDDENLY STARTED HAVING CRACKS. THE CRACKS RUN ALL ALONG THE SEAMS BUT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT JUST CRACKED OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVE NOTIFIED NISSAN CORPORATE WHO REFERRED ME TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I TALKED TO MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY ' WOULD LOOK INTO IT' AND GET BACK WITH ME. I AM AWARE OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS IN FLORIDA AND TEXAS AND THEY STATE IT'S THE HEAT. WELL I LIVE IN LOUISIANA JUST AS HOT AND I PARK IN A GARAGE. 80,000 MILES. WITH ALL THESE CRACKS AND GOO AND STICKY STUFF PEOPLE ARE HAVING HAS ANYONE TESTED THIS SUBSTANCE FOR TOXICITY. I NOW HAVE TWO WHITE SPOTS APPEARING. MY CRACKS LOOKS LIKE THE DASHBOARD IS LIFTING AND I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE GASES FROM ' GLUE' THAT HOLDS DASH DOWN. AS A FORMER NURSE THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AS NO ONE IS TESTING THIS AND IT CAN BE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF LIVES WHO ARE EXPOSED TO THIS DAILY. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY STATE OUT OF WARRANTY. HAVE THEY TESTED THIS. ALL COMPLAINTS ARE 2007 OWNERS. IN MY OPINION THIS NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION DUE TO POSSIBLE SUBSTANCES BEING RELEASED (I HAVE ASTHMA) AND OTHER OWNERS WHO CANNOT SEE OUT THEIR WINDOW. WE HAVE HAD OUR CAR SEVERAL YEARS AND WE ALSO CAN'T ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS WITH OUR KEY OR POWER LOCKS EITHER.

MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A DASHBOARD THAT REFLECTS UP ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND BLOCKS MY VIEW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND IT HAS MADE THIS CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DASH IS STICKY AND SOFT AND IS SPREADING FARTHER ACROSS THE DASH CONSTANTLY. SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE OR THIS CAR CAN'T BE DRIVEN IN THE DAY.

NISSAN WAS SUED LAST YEAR FOR DASHBOARDS OF NISSAN ALTIMAS FOR 2008 AND 2009. MY NISSAN IS A 2007. WENT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS IT CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING THAT I COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FOR YEARS MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKED. IT'S STICKY AND DISCUSTING . MY CAR HAS ALWAYS SLEPT IN THE GARAGE . I DO LIVE IN FLORIDA . I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FLORIDA . THE LAWSUIT WAS FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS ONLY . I WANT TO KNOW WHY THESE LAWYERS WERE ABLE TO SUE NISSAN GOT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BUT ONLY SUBMITTED 2008 AND 2008 THE LAWSUIT GAVE CUSTOMERS ONLY ABOUT 5 MONTHS TO DO A CLAIM . TOTAL BOLOGNY . WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO FIGHT NISSAN ON THIS MATTER .

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CROCK

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BY MANY PARTS. MY CAR IS ALWAYS IN A GARAGE, BECAUSE I DON'T WORK. SOLE OWNER SINCE 2007, NO KIDS.

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 NISSAN CANNOT REPLACE MY MELTING DASHBOARD AND THAT THE ISSUE CANNOT BE ESCALATED ANY FURTHER. IT IS SHAMEFUL TO SEE HOW NHTSA HAS MORE THAN 200 REPORTS OF MELTING DASHBOARD, NISSAN CAN SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN A SUPER BOWL AD #WITH DAD APPEALING TO CUSTOMER LOYALTY BUT NISSAN CANNOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY OF A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL THAT COULDN'T PERFORM IN FLORIDA. ..UPDATED 03-04-15*BF UPDATED 6/17/2015*JS UPDATED 12/09/15.*JB

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

RUST IS CAUSING PERFORATION THROUGH THE BODY OF CAR. NISSAN WON'T HONOR CORROSION WARRANTY. *TR

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