| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The dashboard for my 2008 nissan altima coupe is melting. In sunlight (most of the day), my visibility on the road is decreased tremendously due to glare the melting material causes to reflect on the front window. This has been a huge safety hazard while driving. From online searches, this is a common issue for many nissan altima drivers, and nissan has failed to respond and replace these melting dashboards. A recall is needed before an accident happens. |
