Description of the problem	The dashboard of my 2008 altima coupe is melting and impairing the visibility. It is unsafe to drive because you can not see what is in the road in front of you. It has been an ongoing problem for years but is getting worst. Research has shown that this problem has been known to nissan and the government, but neither thinks it warrants a safety recall. There are several class action lawsuits but none seem to apply to residences of alabama. My late husband contacted a layer in california involved in one of the lawsuits but did not pursue because he did not trust lawyers. I have been busy fighting cancer but lost the battle, and my husband. I contacted nissan today to see if there is anything they can do to remedy this problem. Nissan told me that i need to pay a local dealer $100-$200 to file a report, but because of the age of my vehicle they probably will do nothing to repair this safety issue. Impaired visibility is a safety issue and should be corrected! I have attached several pictures to show how much the visibly has been impaired. In one of them there is an entire house that is obscured, i have also included a picture out the window to show the house. I live in the country and there are children in the house next door that ride their scooters in the road. Imagine if that was a child playing in the road that was not visible instead of a house...
