| Description of the problem | I am writing because i have a problem with my 2008 nissan altima coupe where my dashboard is melting in. I live in the florida area and have noticed many other customers are having the same problem in this year alone all in florida. Here is the forum which i found many having the similar problem http://forums. Nicoclub. Com/my-dashboard-is-melting-t569582-90. Html. The issue is causing a glare on my windshield making it very hard for me to drive and see. I went to my nissan dealership where the vehicle was purchased and they stated changing the dash is a lot of work and very expensive that only giving a dash cover can be done. I dont like the way the dash cover looks and shouldnt be forced to cover a problem that is a safety hazard because of a defective product. |
