| Description of the problem | My wife and i started to notice that the dashboard of our car is melting. We are extremely concerned about safety because the glare off of the shiny melted surface can decrease the driver's ability to see perfectly clear. It is a hazard, especially during sunny days. I have done some research online, and i notice many other car's owner experiencing the same safety issue. The melting is getting worse and nissan don't want to be held accountable. This should be a recall for the safety of public transportation and everyone around. |
