| Description of the problem | The dashboard on my 2010 altima is melting. I have found many other owners complaining of this same problem and i believe there is a class action lawsuit in process for 2008 and 2009 models but have not found anything related to the 2010 model year. Besides being unsightly and annoying as many parts of the dashboard are soft and permanently sticky it is also dangerous. In certain lighting conditions the glare on the windshield reflecting off the shiny melting areas is quite significant indicated this occurred on 3/1/15 as a date was required. Obviously this has deteriorated over time and i am not the original owner. |
