| Description of the problem | Bought my altima from a nissan dealer and it was nearly new, and was told there were no problems. Well about 5 years ago i noticed the paint fading and now it's faded all over due to clear coat problem with that model. However, the real problem is that the dash is melting! Literally! So when i'm driving the glare caused by the dash onto my windshield is literally blinding! The dash has melted all the way across! This is a safety hazard as my photos clearly show. I nearly ran into a lady walking on the crosswalk because i could not see her!!! Please look into this problem. They have been sued over it but did nothing. I have talked to them but nothing! They are aware of the situation as i live in nashville, their headquarters home, and they refuse to help me!!! |
