| Description of the problem | I would like to know what nissan is doing to correct the melting dashboard issue. My dashboard has a sticky film on it which creates an extremely bad glare on my windshield. It makes it almost impossible to drive during the day. Recently i almost hit a pedestrian because i couldn't see the person due to the glare that the dashboard was creating. I would like to know who would have been at fault if i hit that person? The police would have blamed me for the accident but the true culprit in my eyes is nissan because they refuse to fix the issue. How the hell can nissan say it's not a safety issue when obviously i can't see while driving?!? |
