| Description of the problem | This is a known issue with this vehicle which the manufacturer will not remedy. Toyota will replace on they're vehicles, but not nissan. The dash from the intense heat in south florida, has become sticky and is cracking. In some areas, it can become shiny causing a glare in the windshield. The windows were tinted and a heatshield is always in the inside windshield. Armorall or similar products, were never used when maintained. Only soap and water on a cloth. I have contacted nissan but they will not address as it is out of warranty. It is costly to replace with the same issue reocurring. |
