| Description of the problem | The dash board is melting. There is a sticky substance coming form the dash board that causes a significant glare from the sun. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and filed a complaint reagrding my dashy board (complaint #19437322) and a representative named "marisol" advised me that nissan would not be replacing or repairing my dash board at not expense to me. Thsi is an obvious manufacturers defect and may owners of the 2008 nissan are experasincing teh same unsafe conditions associated with the dash board melting. |
