| Description of the problem | I own a 2008 nissan altima. The dashboard began melting about 3 years ago however recently it started to melt more and become sticky to the touch. Every time i drive my vehicle, the glare that shines onto my windshield from the dashboard is terrible, so bad that it is hard to see at times. It has caused me to have trouble identifying things while driving. I have contacted nissan about this issue and they will not acknowledge the issue and will charge $2500 for a new dashboard. |
