| Description of the problem | Glue is bleeding thru the dash on my 2008 nissan altima. It is causing a glare on the windshield that makes it hard to see, so bad that i have to lean over to find a spot that does not affect my vision of the traffic in front of or coming towards me. This is a road hazard and left unattended will eventually cause a wreck. I also have a couple of other problems, the front seats are loose and slid when i had to slam on my brakesfeel and i am not at all comfortable that if i had an accident that this would attribute to additional injury. Also, i have had the low tire scensor replaced at my own expense to only have it come back on at which time i found out this was a known problem with this year model, would have been nice had the dealership told me there was nothing wrong, instead of taking my money. I have researched and found that all three of the problems i have are known problems that have been repeatedly reported to nissan only to be told they are not recalls and are extremely high in cost out of pocket. I have been complaining to them for two years to no avail. They sent me to a dealer in town at one point who reiterated to me verbatim what i was told by them online after he gave the dash a quick look. I live in louisiana, i travel to texas several times a year. That is when the problem with the dash started. No way to clean, it is one big sticky mess and only getting worse. I bought the vehicle, they were happy to take my money, the least they could do is fix known problems. Toyota recalled one of their vehicles with the same bleeding glue dash problem. Nissan should be as forthcoming with their customers, won't buy another, will seriously affect the resale value of this one. Shame on nissan! My formal complaint signed, sealed and delivered! |
