| Description of the problem | The dashboard of my 2008 nissan altima coupe began melting and cracking about 1 year ago. Now the areas that are continuing to melt have become shiny and when the sun hits it at the right angle (early morning, and sunset) it causes a distracting glare to be cast on the windshield. At certain times it is extremely difficult to see vehicles in front of me without looking off to the side or wearing sunglasses to avoid the glare. Safety concerns notwithstanding, i am not enjoying the constant headaches caused by the glare i am subjected to during my daily commute. Please repair or replace this issue before someone gets hurt! |
