Description of the problem	My 2008 nissan altima dashboard is very sticky and melting. I called nissan and make my first complaint 2 months too late was told. Since then the melting and stickiness on the complete top of the dash board is getting worse. Inside the car now it? S also smelling like melted tar, which may represent a health issue when breathing it, and with it the intense glare, reflection of the glossy tar on the front window it's a severe safety hazard when driving, especially when this also could result in airbags being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of an accident. Nissan refuses to help replace this defective dash board. Last week i called nissan again. This time because the a/c? S evaporator needs to be replaced. I understand the cost of this would be my responsibility to pay, but because this is under the defective dash board, this one would have to be removed in order to replace the evaporator. Once removed, the melted dash board, no guarantee could be installed again, i was told by service rep at nissan. A nissan supervisor told me the same as others and suggested for me to call nhtsa and file a complaint, so they would work on a recall for this. My a/c needs to be fixed. I'm in fl where weather conditions and rainy season it's next to impossible to drive with windows down. I'm aware that a/c repair is my responsibility but i believe it's unfair to have to pay an additional 2,000 because of nissan's defective material used on dashboards. This is a known concern since others have had the same issue. If nissan doesn't do right by its consumers and or a recall is issue, there would be many consumers in the future with risks of accidents and/or possible respiratory health issues. A simple search on your page you find many other consumers with same problem. Nissan makes it sound like these are isolated issues.
