| Description of the problem | Dash board is melting. Bought the car in 2012 and noticed tackiness in places and asked dealership about it and they said it wasn't a problem. Well less than a year later the dash was noticeable melting and cracking in many places. I have a child that rides in the car with me. I get nervous when driving towards the sun. These cars shouldn't be doing this and should be recalled and nissan fix the problem before someone is in a fatal accident because they could t see. |
