| Description of the problem | My dashboard is producing a sticky substance. Dealer tells me the substance is glue because the dash is melting. Nissan will not help in anyway even though the car has impeccable service records. I am concerned the substance creates a glare on the windshield which becomes a safety concern and i am also very concerned as to what we are inhaling while in the vehicle. These vehicles need to be recalled for faulty parts and someone needs to test these dashboards and see what is going on. I am forced to pay $2300 to replace or risk possible health concerns or lord forbid a horrible accident due to glare.. |
