| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2008 nissan alitma brand new in florida. The dashboard has melted and continues to do so. It has created a horrible glare and it inhibits my vision. Not to mention it is unsightly and impossible to clean a sticky, crumbly surface. My local nissan dealer will not cover the cost as i am out of my warranty. There are complaints all over the internet about this problem. I don't believe i should have to pay over $1,000. 00 or even $1. 00 to get it fixed as it is a manufacturer's defect. There should have been a recall on this long ago. I moved to kentucky 3 years ago and it's melting here also. |
