| Description of the problem | My nissan altima's dashboard is melting. The entire dash is melting leaving a bright sticky substance that will not come off when i try to clean it. This is not just a cosmetic issue. The melting dash leaves a massive glare on my windshield when driving toward any sunlight. I am blinded by the reflection every time the sun is out. This is not an isolated issue. I have seem hundreds of complaints online and the state of florida already had a class action lawsuit settled with nissan in january about this issue. This needs to be fixed! I dont know the exact date that i noticed the issue but i have been trying to get this fixed for a while now. I have contacted nissan consumer affairs as well as the lawfirm associated with the lawsuit in florida. Nobody will help me and i know there are hundreds if not thousands of people just like me. Just google melting dash nissan altima... |
