2008 Nissan Altima Other Problems

Your dashboard is melting and becoming sticky from heat exposure, which creates a dangerous glare that reduces your visibility while driving. This glare has already caused you to nearly miss seeing a vehicle on the road, forcing you to swerve to avoid a collision. Fixing this typically involves replacing the dashboard pad or applying a protective dashboard cover to prevent further deterioration.

Your air conditioning system required three separate repairs for the same problem. The evaporator and heater core had to be replaced twice, along with other AC system repairs. Nissan refused to cover the evaporator repair under warranty despite the repeated failures. Fixing this typically involves replacing the evaporator core and heater core components, which requires removing interior panels to access the HVAC system.

Your dashboard is melting, cracking, and degrading significantly, which the previous owner tried to hide with a dashboard mat. This is a known issue affecting 2008 Nissan Altimas that has been the subject of safety complaints and a class action lawsuit. The deteriorating dashboard may affect visibility and could impact your car's resale value. Addressing this would likely require dashboard replacement or professional repair.

Your dashboard material has become defective, appearing melted, sticky, and overly reflective. You're concerned about potential toxicity from the degraded material. Fixing this typically involves replacing the dashboard pad or covering.

Glare off dash board is blinding on sunny days. Dashboard is melting, the melted dash reflection is distraciton/ binding on sunny days, and smell from dash is not pleasant. Not knowing actual product that is melting is concerning since melting plastics and vinyl can be toxic. Took car out for ride on sunny day had to pull over because of glare dashboard. Tried to contact Nissan about any products to resurface and contain the melted mess an smell. They offered no solutions besides take in to local dearliship. Not shelling out 500 dollars for nationally known defective material. You can contact any quality managment firm or producer that have working knowledge with plastics and vinyl to confirm that this is a major quality defect. I can not even find out what actual material was used to cover for soft dash.

The dash as a sticky substance that causing a bad glare.Back rear window as a film on it blocking vision.And car as foul Oder when you get in it.

The dashboard is melting. It's sticky and shinny. On sunny days it causes a glare on the windshield making it hard to see out of it.

The dashboard in my 2008 Nissan Altima has been melting, cracking and deteriorating. When it is warm outside, It’s sticky to the touch and becomes glossy causing a major glare on my windshield plus, if I graze a finger nail across it when wiping it for dust or cleaning the windshield it comes apart showing nicks and indentations. I looked this up on the web today and apparently there was a class action lawsuit filed against Nissan that was settled in 2017 for 2008 and 2009 models but on for those folks living in Florida. I live in North Carolina. I started to notice this in 2016 but didn’t give it much thought because the car is garage kept and I have a company car so I only drive this vehicle now sparingly (mainly on weekends). You can’t see how sticky it is by the photos so I took my car registration paper and stuck it to the dash. The dash when warm has a “sticky note” type feel to it. The hotter it gets the more glazed and sticky the dashboard becomes. Today it’s on 61 degrees: https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2021/nissan-melting-dashboard-lawsuit.shtml https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/melting-dashboards-consumers-demand-answers-recall-from-nissan/232577/

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 is out and it is hot (this summer) it is worst and causes the windshield to get hazy. Not sure if it is leaking chemicals as the dashboard is now soft, shiny and cannot be removed by cleaning. The glare is very dangerous and difficult to drive under the conditions.

Melting dashboard causing sun & lights to reflect in face when driving.

My vehicle was purchased used in North Carolina October 2015 and after about 3 years I noticed my dash became very sticky. In the last year there is now I glare from the dash on my windshield. I just recently discovered this is a manufacturer's defect that was only covered in FL.

Dash board melting , becomes sticky and puts off a severe glare in the windshield. Class action lawsuit in Florida identified this as a design issue and made Nissan responsible due to dashboard melting under heat from sun.

Dashboard is cracking, sticky, gooey and melting in places

The dashboard covering has deteriorated to the point it is sticky and shiny. Sun glare on the dash reflects off the windshield making it difficult to see. This is a known defect of this Make, Model and Year. State of Florida settled with the manufacturer and owner's cars were repaired.

The Dashboard is melting and creates a glare on the windshield, making it difficult and dangerous when driving on a sunny day. The glare is such that anyone or thing in front of the vehicle is very hard to see.

The dashboard is defective and breaking down chemically. The chemical compound that the dashboard is made of is not resistant to sunlight causing it to crack break down and become very shiny. Not only does this admit harmful toxins that can be breathed in by the passengers, more dangerously it creates a glare on the windshield making it difficult to see through the window. This can impair vision resulting in an accident by the driver. In addition from what I understand the airbag is under this piece of equipment which is degrading and faulty.

An incident has not occurred yet, thankfully. The dashboard in my 2008 Nissan Altima is melting and causes a glare on the dash and a horrible smell in my car. This is a safety concern not only for myself but for everyone. When the sun hits the dash and causes a glare, the glare can impair my vision on the road. I had a close call and do not want another close call.

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A STICKY DASHBOARD. THIS CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY. I HAVE READ THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL IN FLORIDA ONLY. WHAT ABOUT OTHER HOT CLIMATE STATES!! I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, WHAT GIVES.

THE DASHBOARD IS ACTUALLY MELTING AND BECOMING STICKY NOTHING IS ABLE TO CLEAN IT THIS CAUSES A VERY SHINY REFLECTION OF THE SUN THAT BOUNCES BACK ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE AT TIMES THEREFORE BEING A HAZARD

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 2.5S' DASHBOARD IS MELTING GIVING OFF TOXIC FUMES AND MAKING MY VISIBILITY TERRIBLE WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE MELTING/STICKY DASHBOARD REFLECTS INTO THE WINDSHIELD AND NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX IT FOR FREE. THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDSHIELD IS PARTICULARLY WORSE WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DASHBOARD LIKE THAT BECAUSE I FIGURED THAT GOOEY GONE COULD FIX IT BUT IT DIDN'T. AGAIN NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING.

THE TRANSMISSION IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS

MELTING DASHBOARD, VERY STICKY, EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND THE TOP LAYER (VINYL?) THAT IS MELTING COMES UP WHEN SOMETHING STICKS TO IT AND IS REMOVED. THE DASH IS VERY SHINY, CAUSING EXTREME GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. GLARE VERY BAD, LOWERS VISIBILITY, DANGEROUS. THE HOTTER THE DAYS, THE STICKIER, MORE SHINY THIS GETS. EVEN WHEN PUTTING UP A SUNSHADE, THE DASH GETS WORSE AND WORSE. PHOTO TAKEN ON 9/7/2020 ATTACHED SHOWS HOW BAD GLARE IS.

THE DASHBOARD IN THE CAR IS MELTING

THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST DIRTY, BUT IN FACT, WHEN I TRIED CLEANING IT, A STICKY GLUE TYPE SUBSTANCE CAME UP. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE SHINY GLARE SHINES ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE. I DID A BASIC SEARCH ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE WITHIN THE LAST TWO (2) YEARS. I HAVE TROUBLE SEEING THE ROAD WHEN IT IS SUNNY BECAUSE I GET A BIG GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE REFLECTION OF THE MELTING DASHBOARD. ALSO, I NOTICED I HAVE BEEN GETTING DIZZY, UPPER RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND HEADACHES RIGHT AFTER I GET IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAS BEEN PARKED IN THE SUN, DESPITE A CAR WINDOW SHIELD I PUT ON IT TO PROTECT IT FROM THE SUN.

TOP OF DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING. IT CREATES A BAD GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE SHINY NATURE OF THE AREAS WHERE THE DASHBOARD HAS DETERIORATED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING! I CAN'T BE THE ONLY 2008 ALTIMA OWNER IN NY WITH THIS ISSUE. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS SETTLED A FEW YEARS AGO IN FLORIDA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THIS SAME CAR. I NEED THIS PIECE REPLACED AND THE COST TO BE COVERED BY NISSAN BECAUSE THEY INSTALLED MATERIALS THAT ARE UNSAFE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HOLD UP.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING GIVING OFF A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. ALSO THE GAS GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE ... DOES NOT SHOW THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF GAS TANK ... NEEDLE FLUCTUATES FROM F, 1/2, E.

TRANSMISSION REVS OUT AND SLOW TO ACCELERATE

WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR AND PUSH THE START BUTTON, THE CAR TURNS ON BUT THE READY IS NOT SIGNALING AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. THE CAR WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY THE DAY BEFORE AND NOW THE CAR WON'T MOVE. THERE ALSO A WEIRD BUZZING TYPE SOUND WHEN I PRESS THE BREAK. *TR

STICKY DASHBOARD IS CAUSING SEEING INVISIBILITY

I WHEN TO THE NISSAN WERE I BOUGH IT THEY TELLL ME THAT I HAVE TO PAY 2,000 TO 3000 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD I THINK THIS IS A MATTER OF THE DEALERS OR THE CORPORATE OF NISSAN PLEASE CAN SOME ONE HELP ME CUZ I CAN AFFORD THO BUY ANOTHER CAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'M ABOUT TO GO TO THE MEDIA SEE IS SOMEONE CAN HELP ME.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND WHEN THE SUN HIT IT YOU CANT SEE FROM THE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD YOU COULD HIT SOMEONE OR RUN OVER A CHILD

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS STICKY. THERE IS A SUBSTANCE SEEPING OUT FROM THE SEAMS IN THE DASHBOARD THAT CAN NOT BE REMOVED. IT CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING AND GETS WORSE IN THE HOT SUNNY WEATHER.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2008 IS MELTING, CRACKING AND VERY STICKY WITH A BRIGHT SHINING GLARE THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE.

MY CAR HAS A STICKY,CLEAR SUBSTANCE ALL OVER IT FROM WHERE THE VENTS ARE TO THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAUSES A GLARE AND WHEN THE SUN IS OUT ESPECIALLY IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET IT OFF AND NOTHING IS WORKING. I DIDN'T SPILL ANYTHING ON IT EITHER FOR IT TO BE THIS WAY. IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING.

OUR 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD HAS MELTED LEAVING IT STICKY AND SHINY CAUSING DISTRACTING AND GLARING REFLECTIONS OFF THEIR WINDSHIELDS. I'LL TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP TWICE ABOUT DASHBOARD BUT THEY STATED THEY WAS UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE DASHBOARD. THE SECOND TIME I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE MULTIPLE LAWSUITS I FOUND ON-LINE AND THEY DIRECTED MY TO NISSAN CONSUME DEPARTMENT. NISSAN TOLD ME THE UNIT WAS OUT WARRANTY AND WILL NOT ASSIST.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SPREADING TO THE WINDSHIELD IT IS CAUSING THE LIGHTS AND SUN TO GLARE OFF THE MELTING PLASTIC IMPAIRING EMU VIEW.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE STICKINESS FROM THE MELTED DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE THAT CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT TIMES. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THE DASHBOARD AREA ON THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BREAKING DOWN AND MELTING. THIS MELTING HAS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SHINE AND REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (ALONG WITH AN ODOR). ITS BECOME SO BAD THEN ON MANY DAYS ITS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE CAR OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF YOU OR YOU SIMPLY CANNOT SEE ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AND IN SOME STATES WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT NEEDS TO BE A NATIONAL RECALL! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT AND THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE THAT PROVES THIS IS A BLATANT PROBLEM. IT IS THE VEHICLE SAFETY AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBILITY TO FORCE A REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE AN INNOCENT INDIVIDUAL IS KILLED. NISSANUSA HAS REFUSED TO REMEDY OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS EXPENSIVE ISSUE WHEN CONTACTED. LIVES ARE AT RISK! THE CONSUMER IS BEING IGNORED. MY CAR IS PREDOMINATE GARAGE KEPT WITH UNDER 100K ON IT, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. CLEARLY BUSINESS INTERESTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THEN CONSUMER SAFETY.

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND IS VERY SOFT AND STICKY ALL AROUND. MY FINGERNAILS GOUGE THE DASH MATERIAL VERY EASILY WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. THE STICKINESS OF MY HANDS NEGATIVELY AFFECTS MY GRIP AND RELEASE OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME, AND FORTUNATELY SUN SHADE CLOSED SO GLASS DID NOT FALL IN ON ME. READING MANY OTHERS WITH NISSAN CARS DEALIGN WITH THIS. NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, SO NOT DEBRIS HITTING COULD HAVE CAUSED.

BOUGHT MY ALTIMA FROM A NISSAN DEALER AND IT WAS NEARLY NEW, AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. WELL ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO I NOTICED THE PAINT FADING AND NOW IT'S FADED ALL OVER DUE TO CLEAR COAT PROBLEM WITH THAT MODEL. HOWEVER, THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE DASH IS MELTING! LITERALLY! SO WHEN I'M DRIVING THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE DASH ONTO MY WINDSHIELD IS LITERALLY BLINDING! THE DASH HAS MELTED ALL THE WAY ACROSS! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS MY PHOTOS CLEARLY SHOW. I NEARLY RAN INTO A LADY WALKING ON THE CROSSWALK BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE HER!!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN SUED OVER IT BUT DID NOTHING. I HAVE TALKED TO THEM BUT NOTHING! THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AS I LIVE IN NASHVILLE, THEIR HEADQUARTERS HOME, AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME!!!

MELTING NISSAN DASHBOARD , DUE TO THIS ISSUE UNABLE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING UNDER SUN , LOT OF GLARE IS COMING AND IMAGE REFLECTION ON SCREEN.

MY CAR IS MAKING A BANGING NOISE WHEN ITS STARTED. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED AS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. OTHER ALTIMA VIN#S HAVE BEEN RECALLED, WHY HASNT MINE?

MELTING DASHBOARD. SHINY AND STICKY. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT AS IT REFLECTS AND CAN DRASTICALLY INCREASE CHANCES OF AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY SUNROOF JUST SEEMED TO HAVE EXPLODED. WE JUST HEAD A LOUD POP AND SHATTERED GLASS. WE DID NOT SEE ANYTHING HIT IT AND THERE'S NO ROCKS OR ANYTHING YO BE FOUND

I BOUGHT A USED 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA, IT DRIVE FINE FOR THE TEST DRIVE I STARTED DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO BRING IT HOME IT STARTED JERKING REAL BAD AND THEN WHEN I GOT TO 40 MPH THE RPMS STARTED DROPPING SO I COULDN'T GO FASTER THEN 20MPH SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP IT SAID THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE FIXED ON IT , I STARTED DOING SEARCHES IN IT SAID THAT FOR THOSE MAKE IN MODELS OF CARS IT SAID THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BAD IN TO HAVE A RECALL DONE

THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR IS SLOWLY BREAKING DOWN. THE COMPOSITION OF THE MATERIALS HAS DEGRADED, OVER TIME, SO BAD THAT IT HAS LOST ITS SURFACE TEXTURE IN AREAS AND IS NOW SMOOTH AND HIGHLY SHINY/REFLECTIVE. THE SUN IS NOW REFLECTED ON TO MY WINDOW SHIELD AND I AM COMPLETELY BLINDED AND UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD, PEDESTRIANS AND CARS IN FRONT OF ME.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING DUE TO HEAT AND SUN IN TEXAS. MELTING GLUE IS CREATING A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW THE WINDSHIELD. VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELY LIMITED. DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND CANNOT BE CLEANED OR WIPED OFF.

FOUND DASHBOARD MELTING AND CRACKING AROUND FLAT SURFACE AREAS AND A/C VENTS. EXTREME GLARE WHEN DRIVING!

DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING NOW FALLING APART

DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTING

MY DASHBOARD IS IS FALLING APART THE GLARE ON IT IS HIGH ..I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IN FLORIDA NISSAN LOST OR GAVE IN TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS ISSUE ..TOYOTA ASSISTED ITS CUSTOMERS WITH A RECALL WHY IS NISSAN NOT DOING THE SAME ?

DASH BOARD IS MELTED CAUSING GLARING WHEN DRIVING FROM DASHBOARD AND WINDSHIELD.

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR HAS CRACKED AND BECOME STICKY. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

DAILY DRIVEN 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IN SOUTH FLORIDA. VEHICLE DASH HAS MELTED CAUSING THE DASH TO BE STICKY AND REFLECTING A MASSIVE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. ENTIRE DASH HAS STARTED TO CRACK AND PIECES FALLING OFF DUE TO POOR QUALITY OF DASH. DEFOGGER FOR WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN AFFECTED DO TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE DASH CHANGING AND BECOMING STICK. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AND DO NOT SEE ANY CURRENT RECALLS FOR THE CAR OR DASH.

WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK MY SUNROOF ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA EXPLODED IT WAS NOT HOT OR COLD TEMP WAS APPROXIMATELY 75 DEGREES NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND ME AT THE TIME . SPEED WAS 50 MPH ON A CITY STREET I NEVER USE THE SUNROOF IT'S ALWAYS ON THE CLOSE POSITION NO PRIOR CRACKS OR SCRAPES ON THE SUNROOF DATE OF INCIDENT 2/02/2018 . I DID REPORT INCIDENT TO NISSAN AS OF 2/9/2018 NO RESPONSE

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKED. THE DASHBOARD PRODUCES A GLARE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN IT IS SUNNY. MATERIAL FOR DASHBOARD IS DEFECTIVE.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS NOT LOCKING WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS ALLOWS ANYONE TO OPEN MY DOOR, BUT IT DOES SET OFF MY ALARM. MY CAR HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO TWICE WHILE PARKED IN A SECURED ACCESS GARAGE BECAUSE THEY ARE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, SNATCH AND GRAB. I READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE DRIVERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOCK THEIR DOORS.

MY MOTOR MOUNT,HAS GONE OUT. IT LEFTS UP WHEN YOU DRIVE IT AND MAKE A KNOCKING NOISE, WHEN YOU STOP ON THE GAS.

CURRENTLY, I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND AM AN OWNER OF 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS CAR IS USUALLY IN THE GARAGE AND RARELY IS IMPACTED BY THE SUN. I HAVE NOTICED IN THE LAST WEEK 3 CRACKS APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY STATED TO ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THEN LOOKED ON LINE AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH ALTIMA'S IN THE YEARS OF 2008 AND 2009. NISSAN KNOW S THAT THERE DASHBOARDS WERE MADE WITH A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE HUMIDITY OF FLORIDA. THE LAWSUIT HAD COME AND PAST. I WAS 6 MONTHS FROM THE DEADLINE OF APRIL 29TH 2017. THE ISSUE THOUGH WITH THIS DASHBOARD IS A VISABILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SHINES FROM THE GLARE OF THE SUN WHICH IMPEDES DRIVING.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SEPARATING, AND IT HAS A CAUSTIC SMELL. I'VE BROUGHT IT INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DID INDEED CONFIRM THAT MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING, HAS AN ODOR AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I HAVE ACTUALLY PUT MY FINGERNAIL INTO THE MELTING DASH BY ACCIDENT AND IT HAS LEFT A MARK! I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR, INCLUDING KEEPING IT QUITE CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT . I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH NISSAN VIA EMAIL AND PHONE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY 2008 ALTIMA SE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND WAS GIVEN AN "OH WELL, NOT OUR PROBLEM" TYPE OF ATTITUDE AND RESPONSE. I AM BEYOND CONCERNED SINCE THE DASH IS DEGRADING AND SHINY CAUSING DECREASED VISIBILITY DUE TO A GLARE. MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT THIS MELTING DASHBOARD WILL EFFECT THE MECHANICS OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN AN ACCIDENT, AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONICS THAT THE DASHBOARD PROTECTS. I AM DISMAYED THAT NISSAN CAN TREAT CUSTOMERS WITH LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUES WITH A CARTE BLANCHE OR LAISSEZ-FAIRE ATTITUDE. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN FLORIDA BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD MELTING AFFECTED SO MANY ALTIMAS! COMPLAINTS ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FLORIDA CLASS ACTION SUIT, THERE ARE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS IN MULTIPLE STATES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MATERIALS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT MEANT TO LAST ANY CAR OWNER MORE THAN A FEW YEARS. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR! MY CAR HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. I TAKE IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND OTHER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE; NO CONSUMER SHOULD EVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A MELTING DASHBOARD NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE CAR, OR HAVE MATERIALS IN IT THAT DEGRADE TO THE POINT THAT IT CAUSES MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES FOR ANY PERSON RIDING IN THAT VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MAJOR RECALL ON THE 2008 ALTIMA, OR ANY NISSAN MADE WITH THIS DEFECTIVE, FAULTY MATERIAL. THIS IS HAZARDOUS TO ONE AND ALL.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH NO TITLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET A TITLE FOR IT. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE PROCESS IS.

THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A GLOSSY REFLECTIVE SHEEN THAT PRODUCES A HAZARDOUS GLARE WHICH GREATLY REDUCES VISIBILITY ESPECIALLY ON SUNNY DAYS.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD IS BEGINNING TO MELT AND DETERIORATE CREATING A GLARE WHEN DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING.

DASH MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT MELTED AND BECOME SHINY, STICKY, AND REFLECTIVE WHEN EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT. THIS IS A DRIVING AND SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE REFECTION ON WIND SHIELD, VISION IS SEVERELY IMPAIRED. I CONTACT NISSAN AND THEY USED "PASSED WARRANTY" EXCUSE; EVEN AFTER I EXPLAINED IT HAPPEN YEARS AGO AND WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WAS TOLD BY DEALER I PURCHASED CAR TO "CONTACT NISSAN". I DID, AND THEY ADVISED THAT WAS NOT COVERED.

AT AROUND 11:50 PM MONDAY AUGUST 21, 2017 MY SON PARKED HIS NISSAN ALTIMA ON RESIDENTIAL STREET IN FRONT OF A FRIENDS HOUSE WHILE HE RAN IN FOR A BIT BEFORE HEADING HOME, ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER 2 LOUD "POPS" RATTLED THE HOME. THEY STEPPED OUT FRONT TO FIND THAT HIS 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES 20-30 FEET HIGH. AT 00:11 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND WORKED TO EXTINGUISHED THE CAR, FINALLY FINDING IT SAFE TO LEAVE AT 01:17. THEY CAR IS OBVIOUSLY A TOTAL LOSS. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THIS RANDOM "EXPLOSION" OF THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NO OTHER STRUCTURES WERE DAMAGED (POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CITY ROAD), THIS VERY WELL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DEVASTATING OUTCOME.

JUST LIKE MANY CUSTOMERS IN FLORIDA. WE IN TEXAS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH OUT DASHBOARD MELTING ON OUR 2008 NISSAN ALTIMAS. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THE ONLY CUSTOMERS IN FLORIDA WERE OFFER REPLACEMENT AND NOT CUSTOMERS IN OTHER STATES LIKE TEXAS.

MY VEHICLES DASH IS MELTING AND IT CRATES AREAS THAT HAVE A VERY DANGEROUS GLARE WHEN DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT. THE DASH HAS ALSO BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND HARD TO CLEAN. THE REAL ISSUE IS IN THE GLARE AS IT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. UNFORTUNATELY THE DASH WAS ALREADY LIKE THIS WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE SO I AM UNAWARE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2008 MELTING DASHBOARD. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING; THEREBY, CREATING A DANGEROUS, HAZARDOUS GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDOW.

THE DASH IS MELTING, AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, FORMING SOME KIND OF STICKY, SHINY RESIDUE. THIS RESIDUE CAUSES THE DASH TO REFLECT OFF THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING, CREATING A GLARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS DANGER TO ALL.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD DUE TO USE OF LOW QUALITY MATERIALS. WHEN THE DASHBOARDS BECOME EXPOSED TO HEAT AND SUNLIGHT IT CONVERTS INTO A VICIOUS, STICKY AND REFLECTIVE SURFACE THAT PROJECTS A GLARE ONTO WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW, THUS ENDANGERING EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MISSOURI BUT CAME SPECIAL ORDER FROM TEXAS ACCORDING TO MY SALESMAN. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED AND SETTLED IN FLORIDA BECAUSE OF THIS REASON, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR INFERIOR QUALITY PRODUCT FOR THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE OF FL STATING THESE ARE ISOLATED INCIDENTS.

STICKY,MELTING SHINY DASH AND COMING APART AT SEAMS. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ON THIS AND I REPORTED IT ON 5/31/2017 . THIS WAS CONFIRMED AT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. BUT BECAUSE I LIVE 0.8 OF A MILE INTO GA THEY WILL NOT COVER THESE DAMAGES. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN FL. AND I WORK IN FL. DAILY. AM GOING TO TAKE THIS UP WITH BBB.I REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA. GOV SEVERAL MONTHS BACK AND NEVER HEARD A WORD FROM THIS COMPANY AND UPLOAED PHOTOS IN MARCH WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED TO HAPPEN TO DASH

MY NISSAN ALTIMA'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE ENTIRE DASH IS MELTING LEAVING A BRIGHT STICKY SUBSTANCE THAT WILL NOT COME OFF WHEN I TRY TO CLEAN IT. THIS IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC ISSUE. THE MELTING DASH LEAVES A MASSIVE GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING TOWARD ANY SUNLIGHT. I AM BLINDED BY THE REFLECTION EVERY TIME THE SUN IS OUT. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. I HAVE SEEM HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THE STATE OF FLORIDA ALREADY HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED WITH NISSAN IN JANUARY ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! I DONT KNOW THE EXACT DATE THAT I NOTICED THE ISSUE BUT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED FOR A WHILE NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AS WELL AS THE LAWFIRM ASSOCIATED WITH THE LAWSUIT IN FLORIDA. NOBODY WILL HELP ME AND I KNOW THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE JUST LIKE ME. JUST GOOGLE MELTING DASH NISSAN ALTIMA...

THE DASH HAS A GUMMY FEELING AND IS SPLITTING AROUND ALL THE VENTS, ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL AREAS, AND THE ENTIRE AREA ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL

THE NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD IS MELTING, WARPING, CRACKING, AND PEELING AS A RESULT OF DAMAGE FROM THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SUN. FROM READING, THE MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE DASHBOARD WERE NOT MADE FOR EXTREME HEAT AND WEATHER CONDITIONS, THUS CAUSING GLARE AND VISIBILITY ISSUES AS WELL AS FUNES FROM MELTING PLASTICS. THIS PROBLEM WAS ALSO EVIDENT AMONGST CONSUMERS LIVING IN FLORIDA AND NISSAN HAS AGREED TO REPAIR THEIR DAMAGED VEHICLES AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) UNIT. VEHICLE WAS TOTALLY DISABLED, WITH NO PRIOR WARNING, LEAVING ME STRANDED. NISSAN ISSUED LETTER IN 2013 STATING THAT DUE TO A MANUFACTURING IRREGULARITY THE ESCL MAY MALFUNCTION. THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO EXTEND WARRANTY TO 6 YEARS / UNLIMITED MILES. MY CAR HAS APPROX 61,000 MILES, BUT PAST THEIR TIME LIMIT. NISSAN DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND DEALER CHARGED $678.14 FOR THE PART WHICH IS READILY AVAILABLE FOR UNDER $400. TOTAL COST FOR REPAIR WAS $991.37, PLUS MY TOWING CHARGE OF $37. DEALER SERVICE DEPT HAD QUOTED A PRICE OF HIGH $800 TO $900. WHY WAS VEHICLE NOT RECALLED AND REPAIRED WHEN NISSAN KNEW THAT THE PART COULD FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING? I WAS FORTUNATE THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT DISABLED IN A MORE DANGEROUS AREA. WE HAD TWO VISITS FROM AAA BEFORE WE DISCOVERED THE LIKELY PROBLEM THROUGH THE INTERNET.

PURCHASED A USED 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE. AFTER A COUPE MONTHS I NOTICED THE TOP OF MY DASHBOARD WAS REALLY SHINNY. WHEN I TOUCHED IT THE DASH WASH VERY STICKYAND MELTING. AS TIME AS GONE ON AND THE DAYS GETTING WARMER AND SUN BRIGHTER IT'S GETTING WORSE. THE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASH HAS MADE ME UNABLE TO SEE AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN 3 ACCIDENTS SO FAR DUE TO THIS.

MY DASH BECAME SHINY AND STICKY OVER A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I FIRST TRIED SOAP AND WATER AND THEN GOOBEGONE. AND NOTHING WOULD HELP IT. IT LOOKS AS IF IT IS MELTING. IT IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME. THE SHINYNESS IS REFLECTING ON THE WINDSHIELD AT TIMES AND MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THROUGH IT VERY WELL.

THE DASHBOARD IS DETERIORATING AND HAS BECOME VERY SHINY. THIS CREATES GLARE ON SUNNY DAYS WHICH DEGRADES VISIBILITY TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. AS EVIDENCED BY A CLASS ACTION SUIT IT FLORIDA, THIS ISSUE IS PERVASIVE FOR THIS MODEL. TOYOTA HAS ALREADY RECALLED THEIR CARS FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE.

DASHBOARD MELTING. DANGER REFLECTION FROM MELTING SHINE.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. STARTED 3 YEARS AGO, WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP TO CLEAN IT. IT HAS INCREASED IN SIZE AND NOTHING CLEANS IT. THE GLARE ONTO THE WINDOW IS TERRIBLE, DANGEROUS. HAS A STRANGE SMELL TO IT.

MY LOCAL SERVICE GARAGE HAS LOCATED 2 HOLES IN MY EXHAUST SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS FUMES INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE HOLES ARE A WELD POINTS. MY MECHANIC THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A WARRENTY RECALL. WE REPAIRED IT ONCE AND WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE EXHAUST THIS TIME.

THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING. THE MATERIAL IS BECOMING STICKY AND CAN EASILY BE PEELED OFF, ALMOST LIKE PLAYDOUGH. ALSO IN SOME AREAS IT PRODUCES A GLARE AND IS VERY BOTHERSOME AND IF IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE WILL EVEN BECOME QUITE DANGEROUS AS IT SORT OF BLINDS THE DRIVER TO SOME DEGREE.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING. CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE NEW. NEVER SETS OUTSIDE DURING DAYTIME IN SUN. MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN DENIES THERE'S ANY PROBLEM, WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. COSTS ABOUT $2000 TO REPLACE THE DASH. HAPPENING MOSTLY WITH 2008 & 2009 MODEL YEARS.

MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS AND I CANNOT GET NISSAN TO REPLACE. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO PAY TO REPLACE IT FOR $1800.00. I FEEL THIS IS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DO THE REPLACEMENT. I LIVE IN TX AND THE GLARE IT CAUSE IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE SUN IS OUT AND THE SUN IS ALWAYS OUT.

DASHBOARD HAS OUTLINING LINES AROUND THE DEFROSTER THAT ARE TACKY OTHER SPOTS ON THE DASH ALSO WHAT GASES ARE BEING RELEASED FROM THIS MELTING DASHBOARD IS IT HARMFUL I CONTACTED NISSAN THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL SORRY IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY I NOTICED THE DAMAGE ABOUT A YEAR AGO SPRING OF 2015 IT IS GROWING SLOWLY ON MY DASH

MY DASH-BOARD BECAME SHINER AND WHEN SUN SHINES IT IS HIGHLY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE CAUSE THE SUN RAYS IT ACTUALLY BLINDS ME . I HAVE SPOKE TO NISSAN AND THEY WOULD ONLY FURNISH A NEW DASH BOARD BUT I MUST PAY FOR THE DASH-BOARD, WHICH I FIND IT VERY UNFAIR. PLEASE HELP??

MY NISSAN ALTIMA HAS THE DASHBOARD MELTING WHICH MAKES IT VISIBLE THRU THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I'VE ALMOST HAD 4 NEAR CAR ACCIDENTS WHERE THE MELTING DASHBOARD WAS THE ISSUE.

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD. VISIBILITY IS BLINDING BY GLARE FROM SHINY DASHBOARD. COST TO REPLACE DASH IS ALMOST $2000.

THE FACTORY SOUND SYSTEM FACE PLATE IS BLISTERING. THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY RADIO OVERHEAT OR SOME TYPE OF SHORT. THE RADIO WORKS FINE

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, IT STARTED TO MAKE "GRINDING" MOVEMENTS AND STOPPED MOVING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T CRASH. I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSION -- INCLUDING WHEEZING NOISES AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS AND NOW COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CALLED NISSAN THEY REFUSE TO HELP BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 132K MILES AND THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY GOES TO 120K. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS. IT'S ONLY 8 YEARS OLD. THEY INSTITUTED THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO SO MANY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT. BUT I'M OVER THE WARRANTY AND NOW I'M ON THE HOOK FOR 4K IN TRANSMISSION REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR AS I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE.

" TAKATA RECALL" MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIAM DASH IS SO STICKY AND CRACKING ALL THE WAY DOWN. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR NISSAN TO REPLACE IT ALL WITH WE PARTS!!!! IT IS HARD TO DRIVE WITH THE SUN COMIMG IN THE WIDOW HITTING THE DASH. PLEASE FIX THIS FOR EVERYONE. ALSO MY CAR IS ALWAYS OUTSIDE. ALSO I REALLY LOVE MY CAR. I WOULD HATE TO GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE OF THIS.

ANOTHER MELTING DASHBOARD; THIS TIME IN NORTH ALABAMA. IT'S STARTING FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN IN PICTURES THE NORMAL STARTING PLACES, WHICH IS AT THE DEFROST AIR VENTS, THE LEDGE BETWEEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DEFROST AIR VENTS (WHERE THE DASH APPEARS AS A TWO PIECE COMES TOGETHER) AND RIGHT ABOVE THE THREE AIR VENTS. THE GLARE IT CREATES ON MY WINDSHIELD IS UNBEARABLE, AND MAKING VISIBILITY VERY POOR.

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

MY WIFE HAS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA SHE BOUGHT 5 YEARS AGO. I HAVE NOTICED OVER THE YEARS THE DASH SEEMS TO BE METING. I HAVE TRIED CLEANING IT WITH A DAMP RAG. THIS ONLY MAKES THE DASH GUMMY AND STICKY. EVEN AFTER I ALLOW IT TO DRY FOR A BIT IT REMAINS STICKY AND DIRTY. SHE BOUGHT IT 5 YEARS AGO FOR JUST UNDER $19,000. I TOLD HER IF WE EVER WANTED TO SELL IT WE WOULD LOSE BIG TIME. THE CAR HAS EVERY AMENITY; LEATHER, MOONROOF, HEATED SEATS, BOSE SOUND, ET CETERA. IT'S VERY DEMORALIZING ACTUALLY. ALSO, PART OF THE STEERING WHEEL IS STICKY AND FALLING APART. THE LEATHER PART ON THE STEERING WHEEL IS FINE. ONE MORE THING... I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA AND MY DASH IS SOLID WITH NO PROBLEMS. WE BOTH HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN MISSISSIPPI. IT GETS HOT AND HUMID HERE BUT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH MY 2006 NISSAN DASH OR ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. I AM 40 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED PLENTY. EXAMPLE: A MONTH AGO I SOLD MY 1994 FORD TRUCK THAT HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SUN FOR 3 YEARS. DASH HAD A FEW CRACKS WHICH IS NORMAL BUT DIDN'T MELT. *2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS USED EVERYDAY AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED SEEMS STRANGE TO ME DANIEL

I PURCHASED A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IN MARCH 2015 AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD APPEARED TO BE MELTING.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A DEFECT FROM GLUE SURFACING TO TOP AND CAUSING GLARE AND STICKY, SHINY THAT REFLECTS ON WINDOW A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN WILL NOT PAY AND NOT A RECALL. THIS REALLY SAD MISTAKE AND NO ONE WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

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.

UPON MY DAUGHTER ARRIVING AFTER A 300 MILE DRIVE, I SEE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CHEMICAL/GLUE?? SEEPING FROM HER FRONT DASHBOARD. ITS AS IF DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IN TURN THE MELTED DASHBOARD REFLECT A HUGE AMOUNT OF SUNLIGHT UP TO WINDSHIELD WHICH IN TURN CAUSES LIGHT BLINDNESS WHILE DRIVING NOT TO MENTION POSSIBLE TOXICITY ISSUES. VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION AND ENVIRONMENTALLY HARMFUL. NISSAN CORP. SHOULD BE MADE TO REMEDY THIS FOR LIFE AND HEALTH ISSUES.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND A STICKY SUBSTANCE IS CAUSING A SERIOUS GLARE THAT OBSCURES THE VISIBILITY THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS SPREADING DUE TO SUN SLIGHT EXPOSURE AND HEAT. THE DEFECTIVE DASH BOARDS HAS BEEN REPORTED WIDELY BY MANY AUTO OWNERS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO FAULTY ENGINEERING AND RESULTING IS VISIBILITY GLARE/OBSTRUCTION.

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.

DASH MELTING AND SPLITTING.

THE DASH IN THE CAR IS MELTING AND CREATING A VERY BAD GLARE WHEN DRIVING. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND VERY DANGEROUS.

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

MELTING DASHBOARD THAT CAUSES GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT UNSAFE TO SEE AND DRIVE.

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.

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE AND HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY DASHBOARD MELTING. THE STICKINESS OR SHINE FROM THE TACKY DASHBOARD CREATES A BAD GLARE WHEN DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT AND AT TIMES CAN BE BLINDING. QUITE FRANKLY, DRIVING MY CAR WHEN IT'S SUNNY IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I TRIED BRINGING MY CAR IN TO NISSAN AND SHOWING THEM MY DASH, BUT BASICALLY WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE DASH AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I WENT ON LINE AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE MODELS. EVEN MORE SURPRISING IS THAT NISSAN HASN'T MADE THIS ISSUE A RECALL DUE TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF NISSAN CARS. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT!! WHAT CAN I DO? CAN ANYONE HELP? ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM IT ASKS WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I DON'T HAVE AN EXACT DATE BUT MY DASH STARTED MELTING OVER A YEAR AGO AND PROGRESSIVELY HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT STARTED AT THE PART NEAREST THE WINDSHIELD AND NOW THE STICKY TACKINESS COVERS ALMOST THE ENTIRE DASH.

DASH MELTING AND CRACKING

DASHBOARD IS MELTING,GETTING STICKY AND SHINY AND CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD.

THE DASHBOARD ON THIS CAR IS MELTING AND CRUMBLING APART. IN EARLY 2012 IT STARTED GETTING SHINY AT THE EDGES ON THE VENTS OPENINGS NEXT TO THE WINDSHIELD. IT HAS DEVELOPED INTO A STICKY, SEMI-LIQUID, VERY SHINY, SOFT RUBBER LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT STICKS TO ANYTHING PUT ON TOP OF IT AND COMES OFF AS A BLACK RESIDUE WHEN SEPARATED. THE DASHBOARD ALSO DEVELOPED FINE FRACTURE LINES THAT HAVE SINCE CREATED DEEP RIDGES ALL ALONG THE PART, ITS CRUMBLING, AND PIECES OF THE BLACK OUTER MATERIAL ARE JUST FALLING APART, REVEALING A FOAM MATERIAL BENEATH. THE CRACKING, CRUMBLING EFFECT COVERS THE WHOLE DASHBOARD, NOT JUST THE SECTION THAT IS EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT. THE SHINY SECTIONS OF THE DASHBOARD REFLECT SUNLIGHT INTO THE WINDSHIELD, CREATING A BLINDING PATTERN IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT PREVENTS GOOD VISIBILITY. IN SUNNY DAYS IT IS REALLY PROMINENT AND BLINDING, WHICH IS A CONSTANT IN SOUTH FLORIDA. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD PROVOKE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED SHOWING IN EARLY 2012 AND HAS EVOLVED SINCE INTO A CRUMBLING, MELTING, STICKY, SHINY DASHBOARD. IN HOT DAYS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IT SMELLS LIKE MOLTEN PLASTIC. THE CHEMICAL FUMES FROM THIS DECAYING MATERIAL CAN'T BE GOOD TO HUMAN HEALTH, THESE ARE MOST PROBABLY TOXIC.

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.

I RECENTLY BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING. THERE ARE SEVERAL SECTIONS THAT ARE MELTING AND HAVE BECOME STICKY. IT AFFECTS MY VISIBILITY DURING THE DAY TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE GLARE REFLECTED ON THE FRONT WIND SHIELD. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE.

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE HAS A MELTING DASHBOARD. IT HAS BECOME INCREDIBLY STICKY AND IS NOT ABLE TO BE CLEANED BECAUSE OF THIS. THE "SHEEN" THAT IS ON THE DASHBOARD NOW CAUSES A HORRIFIC REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD REDUCING VISIBILITY DRASTICALLY AND CAUSING A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. CONTACT WITH NISSAN HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND NO ACTION IS BEING TAKEN AT THIS TIME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY DETERIORATING. THE DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE STICKY AND DISGUSTING. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY MELTING OFF DUE TO THE MELTING IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SINCE IT IS SHINY AND THE GLARE HITS THE WINDSHIELD IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I'VE BEEN READING ARTICLES AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I THINK THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT HAS BECOME VERY STICKY AND CAUSES A SEVERE GLARE ACROSS THE SPAN OF MY WINDSHIELD. THIS IS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD AND IT IS VERY DISTRACTING.I HAVE NOTICED THE GLARE FOR MONTHS,BUT AS TIME PASSES IT IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE LIMITED VISIBILITY WILL HINDER MY ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY.

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE HAS MELTING STICKY DASHBOARD THAT IS SHINY AND REFLECTS THE SUN AND DISTORTS VISION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND DESERVES A SAFETY BULLETIN ISSUES TO REPAIR. CAR OPERATES IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. I TRIED TO SELL IT AND WAS TOLD $2000 WOULD BE DEDUCTED FROM THE OFFER DUE TO COST OF REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD.

THE DASH BOARD HAS TURNED INTO A STICKY MESS, IT CAN'T BE CLEANED AND IS CAUSING A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WIND SHIELD.

MELTING STICKY DASH CAUSES GLARE WHILE DRIVING AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC LIGHT CHANGE, GLARE IS WORSE DURING SUMMER FLORIDA WEATHER. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND OFFERED NO RESOLUTION EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT. I TRY TO KEEP MY CAR COVERED OR OUT OF SUN WHEN NOT IN USE, LEFT IT AT THE DEALER FOR UNRELATED SERVICE (3 DAYS). THEY MUST'VE HAD IT SITTING OUT IN THE SUN BECAUSE THE MELTING SPREAD, ALSO LOOKS LIKE THEY ATTEMPTED TO CLEAN IT BECAUSE THERE WAS WHITE RESIDUE LEFT ON THE DASH!

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WHERE THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL HAS FAILED. AS A RESULT, IT IS STICKY AND SHINNY, MOSTLY BY THE DASH VENTS. THE SHINNY HAS CREATED A GLARE THAT REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD DURING DAYLIGHT DRIVING OBSCURING VISIBILITY. THIS REFLECTION HAS A CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IMPEDES VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING.

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.

I HAVE A MELTING DASHBOARD. THERE IS A GLARE THAT RADIATES FROM THE SHINE OF THE MELTING AREA THAT PRESENTS A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. I ALREADY HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS, ON 10/17/2014, AND THE ISSUE IS ONGOING . NOW THERE IS EVEN MORE GLARE . I CONTACTED NISSAN. THEY OFFERED ONLY TO PAY HALF FOR REPLACEMENT. THAT CAME OUT TO OVER 1000.00 WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT RIGHT. THIS IS A DEFECT.

MY 2008 NISSAN ULTIMA DASH BOARD IS MELTING. THE VISIBILITY IS DIMINISHED IN THE SUNLIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IT CAUSES A HARSH GLARE AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEEWHILE DRIVING IN THE DAY TIME. THE DASH BOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SHINEY. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR DRIVERS SAFETY IMMEDIATELY.

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

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS GOOEY, VERY SHINY AND CAUSES A GLARING IMAGE OF THE DASH TO PROJECT ONTO THE WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. IF TOUCHED, IT FEELS LIKE AN ADHESIVE OBJECT AND HAS A CHEMICAL SMELL ON HOT DAYS. THIS GLARING IMAGE IS CONTINUALLY PROJECTED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING THE CAR A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE'S DASH IS MELTING CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING INTO THE SUN. THE GLARE IS DISTRACTING AND OBSCURES MY VISION. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2008, IT HAS APPROX. 80,000 MILES, IS KEPT IN THE GARAGE AFTER DAYTIME WORK HOURS. THE MELTING BEGAN THIS SUMMER.

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 IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING AND THE GLARE WHEN DRIVING IS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE CLEARLY. DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DURING THE DAY IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY NISSAN, IT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT DUE TO THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE DASHBOARD. MY TEENAGE SON DRIVES THIS CAR, AND HE IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE THE VIABILITY IS SO POOR NOW. IT GETS WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT AND REPLACE THE DASHBOARDS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR WORSE DUE TO LACK OF VIABILITY.

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

I LIVE IN GEORGIA, AND MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT PLACING A BLACK TOWEL OVER THE DASH TO DAMPEN THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN. THE DASH HAS A CLEAR, GOOEY, STICKY, LACQUER-LOOKING, FILM THAT SHINES SO BRIGHTLY THAT IT OBSTRUCTS MY VISION. PLEASE NOTE THAT ITS A HAZARD TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS CONSTANT POSSIBILITY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE A PEDESTRIAN OR OTHER VEHICLES IN MY LINE OF SIGHT -- THIS COULD CLEARLY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

DASH IS MELTING. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY STATE THEY ARE NOT REPLACING THE DASH. IT IS STICKY AND SHINY AND CAUSES REFLECTION IN WINDSHIELD. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NISSAN 2008 ALTIMA. NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT A RECALL.

DASH IS MELTING. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY STATE THEY ARE NOT REPLACING THE DASH. IT IS STICKY AND SHINY AND CAUSES REFLECTION IN WINDSHIELD. I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NISSAN 2008 ALTIMA. NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR WITHOUT A RECALL.

IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND NOW IT BECAME STICKY AND SHINY.WHILE DRIVING IN DIRECT SUN IT CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND HARD TO SEE THE ROAD CONDITION.IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR A DRIVER.THIS IS HAPPENING MAY BE NISSAN USED A LOW QUALITY MATERIAL FOR THE DASH.THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY NISSAN.

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 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, NO CURRENT RECALLS & CAMPAIGNS, NO SERVICE CONTRACT, NO EXTENSIONS HISTORY OF SERVICE OF THE VEHICLE AND OTHER FACTORS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THERE IS NOT DEFINITIVE ANSWER. WHEN I ASKED TO GIVE SPECIFIC THEY SAID THEY DID. MIND YOU, I SERVICE MY CAR AND ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE ON THE VEHICLE EITHER BY MY HUSBAND AND SON (WHO IS A MECHANIC), NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT OR TIRE PLUS. I THINK THIS IS ABSURD! WE CAN CAUSE A HUGE ACCIDENT ONE DAY FOR A PRODUCT DEFAULT BY NISSAN ENGINEERS. MY HUSBAND HAS TRIED TO AVOID MANY ACCIDENTS FROM THIS GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD AS THE SUN IN FLORIDA HITS HARD ON A BLACK DASHBOARD ESPECIALLY. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO HAVE THE NHTSA GET INVOLVED IN ENFORCING NISSAN AND ANY OTHER VEHICLE MANUFACTURING COMPANIES THAT ARE FACING THIS ISSUE TO RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THIS CAN CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS AND SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE, WE HAVE AVOIDED SEVERAL ONES THUS FAR. WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THUS FAR BUT I CAN'T PREDICT THE FUTURE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW IF THIS DEFECT DOESN'T GET CORRECTED BY NISSAN.

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 DASHBOARD HAS ON THE RELEASE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE DASHBOARD UPON TOUCH IS VERY GUEY, STICKY, AND SMEARS OR COMES-OFF WHEN PRESSED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS PART AND HAS QUOTED $2,000 FOR PART REPLACEMENT. THIS IS NOT ONLY A VERY COSTLY ITEM, BUT ALSO UNFAIR TO THE OWNER WHO CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR AND HAS TO JEOPARDIZE THEIR SAFETY BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURERS NEGLIGENCE BY SUPPLYING DEFECTIVE PART. I TRY TO AVOID DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY OUT OF CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY.

I LIVE IN SUNNY SOUTH FLORIDA, MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I CANNOT DRIVE WITHOUT SUNGLASSES ON AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE THE REFLECTION OF THE SUN ON THAT CLEAR, GOOEY, STICKY, LACQUER-LOOKING, THING SHINES SO BRIGHTLY THAT IT OBSTRUCTS MY VISION AND HAS BEEN AFFECTING MY EYESIGHT. PLEASE NOTE IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF NOT SEEING A PEDESTRIAN OR CERTAIN THINGS IN FRONT OF ME THAT CAN LEAD TO A SERIOUS INCIDENT.

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.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS BADLY MELTED AND CONTINUES TO MELT. VERY STICKY AND ANYTHING THAT GETS ON IT WILL STICK TO IT INCLUDING BUGS! I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING TO A VINYL DASHBOARD BECAUSE I'VE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A PROBLEM NEITHER HAD I EVER SEEN THAT IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I SEARCHED ON LINE AND WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I SHOWED IT TO A FRIEND WHO SAID IT WASN'T NORMAL AND I SHOULD LOOK TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS NONE.I DID DISCOVER MY DASHBOARD ISN'T VINYL BUT SEEMS TO BE MADE OF A HARD FOAM WHICH MELTS AND SCRATCHES EASILY. THE GLARE FROM THAT DASHBOARD IS UNREAL AND UNSAFE. WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING BRIGHT (AND IT DOES IN PENSACOLA, FL) I HAVE TO TRY TO FIND A SPOT IN THE WINDSHIELD WHERE THERE IS NO GLARE IN ORDER TO PROPERLY SEE THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A ROAD HAZARD AND SAFETY CONCERN AND I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY NHTSA OR NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT.

I PURCHASED MY NISSAN ALTIMA USED IN 2012. A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR LATER, I NOTICED STICKY SPOTS ON MY DASHBOARD. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT I HAD CLEANED MY DASHBOARD WITH THE WRONG PRODUCT. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE THEN, AND I NOW KNOW THAT THE STICKINESS IS CAUSED BY MY DASHBOARD MELTING IN THE SUN. LARGE STICKY, SHINY AREAS COVER MY DASHBOARD AND CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD THAT AFFECTS MY VISION WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ME AND FOR THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. IT IS A DEFECT OF VEHICLE'S CONSTRUCTION AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

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.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 ALTIMA 2.5S HAS COMPLETELY MELTED. IT IS STICKY, DISCOLORED, AND CANNOT BE CLEANED DUE TO THE STICKINESS. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THIS AS THE VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF ITS WARRANTY. REPLACEMENT DASH RUNS OVER $1200 JUST FOR PARTS. I KNOW IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE GLARE FROM THE MELTING GETS WORSE AND I CRASH BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE. RIDICULOUS.

I NOTICE MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND SOFT AND STICKY. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FROM OTHER OWNERS AND FEEL THIS MAY BE UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. I AM SURE TESTS WERE DONE WHEN THE DASHBOARD IS FINE BUT WAS AIRBAGS TESTING DONE WITH STICKY, SOFT, CRACKING DASHBOARDS, PROBABLY NOT.

THE DASHBOARD IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR IS MELTING AND WHEN THE SUN IS IN A LOWER POSITION IT WILL CAUSE A REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS CONDITION BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER THE AUTO IN QUESTION PASSED 60,000 MILES AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE ENSUING YEARS

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.

I'VE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN REFERENCE TO THIS AND GOT THE RUN AROUND. ALSO CALLED MY INSURANCE AND THEY KEPT SAYING TO CALL OR GO TO YOU. DASHBOARD IS STILL STICKY AND BEING ASKED ALMOST $1500 TO GET IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO GET RESOLVED.

I PURCHASED MY 2008 NISSAN ALITMA BRAND NEW IN FLORIDA. THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. IT HAS CREATED A HORRIBLE GLARE AND IT INHIBITS MY VISION. NOT TO MENTION IT IS UNSIGHTLY AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN A STICKY, CRUMBLY SURFACE. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE COST AS I AM OUT OF MY WARRANTY. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1,000.00 OR EVEN $1.00 TO GET IT FIXED AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS LONG AGO. I MOVED TO KENTUCKY 3 YEARS AGO AND IT'S MELTING HERE ALSO.

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

DASHBOARD IS MELTING WITH EXTREME GLARE OFF OF IT. STICKY TO TOUCH. SOMETIMES HARD TO SEE WITH GLARE. SINCE FIRST NOTICING IT, IT HAS NOW COVERED ALMOST 1/2 THE DASHBOARD.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD!! IT IS STICKY TO TOUCH AND CREATES AN UNSAFE GLARE WHEN DRIVING WHICH HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE DASHBOARD MELTING THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT AGREE TO FIX IT NOR WOULD THEY ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT WHAT COULD EVENTUALLY BE A FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO WHAT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT ON THE RUBBERIZED MATERIAL USED ON THE DASHBOARDS. I AM LOOKING FOR HELP FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE AND THE NHTSA FOR HELP TO ENFORCE A RECALL TO PREVENT INJURY AND POSSIBLE FATALITIES DUE TO THIS MELTING DASHBOARD ISSUE.

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 INSTANTLY BECOME STUCK. IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE A TAR PIT AND IF YOU TOUCH IT, A TAR-LIKE SUBSTANCES COMES OFF AND IS VERY HARD TO REMOVE FROM YOUR SKIN. THE FUMES IT GIVES OFF ARE NAUSEATING AND SEEM TO MAKE THE WINDSHIELD FOGGY. WHEN TRYING TO CLEAN THE WEIRD CHEMICAL FOG OFF, I HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL NOT TO LET THE CLEANING RAGS TOUCH ANY PART OF THE DASH BECAUSE IT WILL LITERALLY PULL THE RAG APART, LEAVING BEHIND DISTRACTING PIECES OF CLOTH ALL OVER THE DASH. I ASKED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO HELP REMEDY MY SITUATION BUT THEY REFUSED TO HELP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY. IT SEEMS THAT AS TIME GOES ON AND THE WEATHER GETS HOTTER, THE DASHBOARD ONLY GETS WORSE AND WORSE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM ON MY OWN (THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THAT THE REPAIR WILL COST OVER $2,000) BUT I ALSO DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN THE SUNLIGHT.

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. AROUND 2013 I NOTICED THAT MY DASHBOARD STARTING MELTING. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN, DID EVERYTHING THEY REQUIRED ME TO DO TO OBTAIN A ESTIMATE FROM A LOCAL NISSAN ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE SINCE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN A PAGE ON FACEBOOK WITH THIS ISSUE. WHICH I WAS BLOCKED FROM BY NISSAN FOR COMPLAINING TOO MUCH. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A FAULTY MATERIAL ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME AND I AM AFRAID THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STILL DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET TO WORK. NOW 2015 THE DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN SO BAD AND GLARES OFF OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ASSIST WITH THIS MATTER. THANK YOU

I AM ANOTHER VERY FRUSTRATED MELTING DASHBOARD OWNER AS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY(IF YOU LEAVE SOMETHING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME IT BECOMES STUCK). THE DASHBOARD IS ALSO SHINY AND PRODUCES A GLARE. WHEN YOU DRIVE INTO THE SUN. THE GLARE MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUMES AND POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS BEING OMITTED THAT MAY POSE ADDITIONAL HEALTH RISKS TO MYSELF AND PASSENGERS. I STOPPED BY MY LOCAL SOUTH FLORIDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS BASICALLY OUT OF LUCK AS IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY PROVIDED(?) BY NISSAN.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE HAS BEEN MELTING AND CAUSING VERY DANGEROUS GLARE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. IN 2013 NISSAN EVALUATED MY VEHICLE AND ADVISED ME THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. IT IS GETTING SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON AND THERE IS ABSOLUTLEY NO WAY TO CLEAN IT SO NOW DUST AND DEBRIS COLLECTS AND STICKS AND IT IS BECOMING A BREATHING HAZARD TO ME. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO THE POINT OF BEING BARE IN SOME PLACES. OVER 40% OF THE DASH IS COVERED WITH A GLOSSY SUBSTANCE MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN IS OVERHEAD. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE ALMOST RAN OVER A PEDESTRIAN DUE TO THIS LOW VISIBILITY ISSUE. *TR

DASH HAS MELTED CAUSING STICKY MESS AND GLARE CAUSING LACK OF VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. CONTACTED NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES THEY WERE NO HELP AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH COST OF REPLACING DASH. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT IS STICKY AND SHINY WHERE THE SUN HITS THE DASHBOARD. THE DULL PART HAS BURNED AWAY LEAVING A SHINY PART THAT CAUSES A GLARE. THE GLARE IS RIGHT IN MY LINE OF VISION AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE.

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE WHERE MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING IN. I LIVE IN THE FLORIDA AREA AND HAVE NOTICED MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR ALONE ALL IN FLORIDA. HERE IS THE FORUM WHICH I FOUND MANY HAVING THE SIMILAR PROBLEM HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/MY-DASHBOARD-IS-MELTING-T569582-90.HTML. THE ISSUE IS CAUSING A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY HARD FOR ME TO DRIVE AND SEE. I WENT TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND THEY STATED CHANGING THE DASH IS A LOT OF WORK AND VERY EXPENSIVE THAT ONLY GIVING A DASH COVER CAN BE DONE. I DONT LIKE THE WAY THE DASH COVER LOOKS AND SHOULDNT BE FORCED TO COVER A PROBLEM THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN TIBERI ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REGARDING NISSAN DEALERSHIP (DOT/I#2010-2206) *TGW THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SECURE FINANCING AFTER LOOSING HIS JOB AND WANTED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, NISSAN STATED THEY WOULD FINANCE THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE CONSUMER STATED HE NO LONGER HAS A JOB. NISSAN STATED THE CONSUMER IS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOAN. *JB

Your dashboard has become sticky and appears to be melting, with visible cracks caused by heat exposure. This is a cosmetic issue that affects the appearance of your interior but doesn't impact vehicle safety or operation. Fixing this typically involves replacing the entire dashboard assembly.
