| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 nissan altima. Around 2013 i noticed that my dashboard starting melting. I reached out to nissan, did everything they required me to do to obtain a estimate from a local nissan only to be told that it was not covered under warranty. I have since done some research and discovered that there are thousands of people with this same issue. There is even a page on facebook with this issue. Which i was blocked from by nissan for complaining too much. Obviously this is a faulty material issue. This is a huge concern for me and i am afraid that this could cause and accident. I have no choice but to still drive my car because i have to get to work. Now 2015 the dashboard has gotten so bad and glares off of the windshield which make it difficult to see. Hopefully you can assist with this matter. Thank you |
