| Description of the problem | Dashboard is melting. Has gotten progressively worse over the past 2 years. The shiny sticky mess causes a huge glare on the windshield. It is a manufacturer defect and a safety issue. Nissan needs to recall! I love my vehicle, but it is terrible that i have to put a carpet dashboard cover on it to be able to see. |
