Description of the problem	I have a 2008 nissan altima coupe here in panama city fl and notice my dashboard was melting, it's now at the point where the glare is so bad i can barely see to drive. I also have a six year old i'm now to afraid to drive any where bc of the glare but also because i'm not sure what kind of toxics we are breathing in. I've ordered a dash cover from carid. Com but realized that is not going to fix my problem it's only going to hide it and we may still be breathing in harmful toxins and in the event that later i want to get rid of the car the zebra print dash cover would be stuck. So i took it to the nissan dealer ( i don't have a warranty by the way its a 2008) and the put me in a rental immediately saying and i quote, "do you know what this material is who knows what your breathing in" so they could check my car.... They called me two days later and told me that they do not know what's causing it and for me to call 1 800 nissan1. The nissan headquarters customer relations were extremely rude and refused to help me at all..... I'm a single mother and can't afford to pay to have this fix. I did some research and it turned out that nissan did a recall for a very similar problem in the infinities (melting dash and was bubbling) i'm scared to drive my car because the glare is soooo bad as well as melting plastic i've also reached out to the health dept of florida to ask them about the material of the dash and how harmful it is to breathe in again i have a child and her being healthy and safe is the most important thing to me. There are hundreds of people having this same issue..... This isn't fair not only is this a health issue but a safety issue as well....
