| Description of the problem | The dashboard on my 2008 nissan altima coupe is melting. It has turned into a sticky and gooey substance. When i touch the dashboard my fingers stick and turn black. Every time i get into my car i worry the melting dashboard will be a safety issue. The dashboard reflects the sun from the windshield and it causes a reflection, so it sometimes becomes hard to see while driving. In addition to the dashboard melting, it is also beginning to crack. The issue was filed with nissan but they refused to fix or replace the dashboard. |
