| Description of the problem | A few months ago, while cleaning the interior of my car i noticed the dashboard was sticky in a small area on the driver's side. Thinking it was something that could be cleaned i applied an adhesive remover but had no positive results. Now that we are in the dead heat of summer, the problem has gotten worse and has now spread to the passenger side along with creating an unbelievable glare from the windshield. Now, when i touch it, pieces of the material stick to my finger. That was real eye opener to look into it and see if it has been a problem with other nissan owners. With only a few mins. Of research i'm finding that it's widely common, especially here in fl. I have also noticed a crack that spans about 15 inches along the bridge of the dashboard just above the gauges. This isn't the nissan quality we hear about! Totally unacceptable! |
