| Description of the problem | The dashboard in my nissan is literally liquifying over the last 7 months. This appears to be known issue that resulted in class action lawsuit in fl against nissan that was won for the plantiffs. There is facebook group for nissan melting dash boards and a news station covered the story: https://www. Click2houston. Com/consumer/drivers-want-sticky-dashboards-fixed i contacted nissan, who referred me to our local dealership and they documented issue and i was ulitmately referred to cameron, a regional nissan qa representative. I was told at tht time that nothing can be done. I did very clearly (and politely) describe the safety concern as the melting dashboard causes a horrific glare on the windshield. I do indeed understand that the car is out of warranty but given the safety hazard piece, i was hoping that nissan would stand by thier products in this case and consider generating a recall to address the issue. Toyota had a similar issue and offered full replacement. |
