Description of the problem	A few months ago i noticed the dashboard of my 2008 altima was melting especially around the air vents. There's also a burn smell coming from the shiny area. It's becoming hard to see during the day due to glare from the shiny area. Also i did notice my ac system was making strange noises and would shut off the engine when i turned it on. Sometimes it blows warm air and has completely died recently. I took it to a mechanic who mentioned that he's never seen anything like a melting dashboard in his 20+ years of repairing cars. He ran a dye test on the ac and strangely there was no freon leak. He had to drain all the freon so that i can't have an accident when the engine shuts off in case i tried to start the ac. I will have to spend $1000 just for the ac alone..... Mechanic recommended i consult nissan regarding the melting dashboard.
