2008 Nissan ALTIMA Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1031292
Internal NHTSA #	10558349

Model Year	2008
File date	20/07/13
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The dashboard on my 2008 nissan altima coupe appears to be melting and it has become very difficult to drive because of the glare it causes on the windshield. We purchased the vehicle new, included a nissan extended warranty, and maintain the vehicle meticulously (mechanically and cosmetically). We did not put anything on the dash (armorall, etc). The nissan dealer told us that they have seen a lot of dashes on the altima with this problem in florida, but that there is nothing they can do because it is out of the initial factory warranty and they claim the nissan extended warranty does not cover it. Through the nico club, i have learned that many other florida residents who own 2008-2009 nissan altima coupes are experiencing the same problem. This appears to be a manufacturers defect and has really become a serious safety hazard. I respectfully request your help with this matter.
