| Description of the problem | 08 nissan altima coupe that i purchased new in south florida february 08 that i've owned since has a melted, sticky, and cracked dashboard. Also, the dash is changing colors. The defective and melted dashboard makes it dangerous to drive because the sun reflects on the dashboard making it very hard to see out of the windshield. As referenced in the class action lawsuit tracy sanborn v. Nissan north america, inc. My car should be covered. I spoke with a rep at 1-800-nissan-1 and they claimed to have no idea this existing. I have opened my case and will hopefully get it fixed soon. |
