Description of the problem	I purchased a brand new 08 nissan altima 2. 5s in september of 2007. I live in central florida, and for more than a year, my dashboard has turned shiny, sticky, and is quite literally melting. The last 6 months to a year, i noticed that the part around the radio unit has been cracking and "softening". In the daytime, the shiny melting part of the dash reflects onto my windshield and creates a blinding glare that makes it difficult and dangerous to even see the road. I have tried various cleaning solutions until i realized that wasn't the problem. I have come across many people who have been experiencing the same problem, most in florida, and all 2008 altimas. I will enclose a link to the forum where many altima owners have found thanks to google with the issue. I would be happy to send some pictures of the dashboard if necessary. Http://forums. Nicoclub.
