| Description of the problem | I am in florida and car dashboard has been made with cheap material which started to melt after just a few years on purchase. In 2011 i did call nissan but no one replied my call. I kept on thinking that may be there is something that i have done but after doing some research on my issue, i noticed that internet is full of this complain about nissan altima 2008 dashboard being melting, cracking and sticky when you touch it. The glare from dashboard is so much that it gets hard to drive in sunny weather. I have stopped to drive my car and the day i run into an accident due to glare, i will call my lawyer right away. The car has 66k miles on it, and i have never seen this problem before on any other car i have ever owned. |
