| Description of the problem | I live in hawaii and after a couple of years owning this vehicle, the dashboard began to melt causing a very bad glare to the driver. The melting started small but got worse over time. I believe the glare is a safety hazard and a recall should be issued by nissan to replace the dashboard. I have never put any kind of product, the only reason i can think of is the hot sun living in hawaii. I have read other complaints by nissan altima owners in warm climates as well. *js |
