Description of the problem	I own a 2008 nissan altima, purchased in 2010. At purchase, the dash board appeared tacky, but was intact and the original color of flat/matt black. Over time the dashboard has become glossy black and viscous (as if it were melting). The glossy nature has become a glare issue, reflecting the light and at times impairing visibility. After a brief internet search, i see this has been an issue for the altima model, especially 2007-2009, as well as other nissan/infiniti models yet nissan usa refuges to acknowledge culpability. I also have found that a class action suite has been files in southern district of florida for this very problem ([xxx] v. Nissan north america, inc.). There has been no recall of this issue as of yet, while mazda and toyota have issued recall notices for the same issue. This is a costly replacement ($2000+) and should be covered by a recall notice as it is clearly a defective plastic mixture and is an issue for passenger safety. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
