| Description of the problem | Dash board is melting and creating shiny surface which creates a glare on windshield. Depending on time of the day and angle of the sun, that glare prevents clear vision to the road. Law suit for similar issue was already approved in florida and nissan replaced dash boards for florida residents. I called nissan and they were not willing to fix it even it relates to safety and visibility. This issue is widespread and can not be treated as state wise. Also i am not sure if this melting dashboard is creating any harmful fumes that i need to be worried about. I have attached image and can share more image if needed. Depending on time and angle of the sun this gets even worse when you are driving an sun hits the dash board at certain angle. |
