| Description of the problem | My dashboard starting melting about 3 years ago. I left a message on nissans facebook page and they told me to take it to a nissan dealership to get it diagnosed. I did that and they diagnosed it as a melting dashboard. I sent all the paperwork back to them and they answered me by saying the extended warranty was expired so they couldn't do anything about it. It is very sticky and is leaving a glare on the windshield and making it hard to see. It it also cracking in various places. Nissan should not sell a car that cannot stand the south florida sun! I would like nissan to take charge and replace my dashboard free of charge because this is a manufacturing mistake not caused by me! |
