Description of the problem	My dashboard is melting and separating, and it has a caustic smell. I've brought it into my local nissan dealership where they did indeed confirm that my dashboard is melting, has an odor and needs replacement. I have actually put my fingernail into the melting dash by accident and it has left a mark! I take excellent care of my car, including keeping it quite clean inside and out . I have been in touch with nissan via email and phone, i was told that my 2008 altima se is now out of warranty and was given an "oh well, not our problem" type of attitude and response. I am beyond concerned since the dash is degrading and shiny causing decreased visibility due to a glare. My greatest fear is that this melting dashboard will effect the mechanics of the airbag deployment in an accident, as well as the electronics that the dashboard protects. I am dismayed that nissan can treat customers with legitimate safety issues with a carte blanche or laissez-faire attitude. There was a class action suit in florida because the dashboard melting affected so many altimas! Complaints are not limited to the florida class action suit, there are various complaints from other nissan owners in multiple states with the same problem. The materials are obviously defective and not meant to last any car owner more than a few years. I fear for the safety of myself and any passengers in my car! My car has 11,000 miles on it, and is well maintained. I take it in for oil changes and other routine maintenance; no consumer should ever have to worry about a melting dashboard no matter the age of the car, or have materials in it that degrade to the point that it causes major safety issues for any person riding in that vehicle. There needs to be a major recall on the 2008 altima, or any nissan made with this defective, faulty material. This is hazardous to one and all.
