| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2008 nissan altima with a melting dashboard!! It is sticky to touch and creates an unsafe glare when driving which has become a safety hazard. I have contacted nissan on numerous occasions and i've been told that there were no other complaints on the dashboard melting therefore, they would not agree to fix it nor would they issue a recall to prevent what could eventually be a fatal accident due to what seems to be a manufacture defect on the rubberized material used on the dashboards. I am looking for help from other owners with this issue and the nhtsa for help to enforce a recall to prevent injury and possible fatalities due to this melting dashboard issue. |
