| Description of the problem | The dashboard on my 2009 nissan altima has started to produce a very shinny and sticky substance. This substance is creating a glare on the windshield of my car when the sun is shining making it very difficult to see the street in front of me. I have tried several methods to remove this substance without success. From what i understand this is due to heat and humidity but my car is always parked in the garage when i'm not out in it. This is a safety hazard that in my opinion should be addressed by nissan. There was a class action lawsuit in 2017 where nissan agreed to pay all but $250 for the replacement of these dashboards. See gibbs law group online for details. Https://www. Classlawgroup. Com/nissan-melting-dashboard-lawsuit/ i would think if they agreed to replace these dashboards they know this is a flaw in their dashboards. |
