| Description of the problem | My 2008 nissan altima coupe dashboard is melting. It started with a small spot on the dash, i thought it was moisture from the air conditioner. A few days later the spot was getting larger. I felt it and it felt like sticky clear glue. Now it's getting larger almost all the way across the dash. I took it to the nissan dealership and the guy said he have never seen anything like this. He told me the only thing he can do is order another one for me and that's over $2,000. 00. I feel that i should not have to pay for another dashboard, when it's a defect from the manufacturer and it needs to be a recall on this product.. |
