| Description of the problem | The dashboard is melting that causes the surface to be extremely shinny which in return when the sunlight glares through it makes it very difficult to see through the windshield. I do know that florida owners won a case against nissan to have there dashboard replaced that cost them $250. 00. But the state of north carolina states the statue of limitations is only 7 years. I talked with an attorney about taking on a case against nissan to have ours replaced, but no taker because of the statue of limitations. Also, i noticed that texas has a pending suit against nissan for the residents with the same complaints. I have 2 pictures attached for your review. I really appreciate your assistance and i hope i have an answer within 30 days. Thank you. |
