| Description of the problem | During the past year or so, my 2008 nissan altima coupe has been developing a very sticky and extremely shiny surface on the dashboard which is unwashable and when sunlight is reflected off it, it makes it very difficult to see the road ahead and has nearly caused me to cause an accident on several occasions. I though i was the only one but reading up on it, this seems to be a problem with the 2008 nissan altima. Please help and do something about this as to fix this potentially life-threatening defect, not only for me but for other 2008 altima drivers, passengers, and and fellow neighboring cars on the road. Thank you! |
