Description of the problem	The dashboard on my 2011 nissan altima is melting. This has been an ongoing problem for months. The melting areas become soft, sticky, cracked and shiny. If the dashboard is not replaced the glare created by the shiny areas will make the car hazardous to drive and the melting will ultimately damage the equipment covered by the dashboard - equipment the car needs to operate safely and equipment the dashboard is designed to protect. A recall was issued for 2008 and 2009 nissan altimas in which their melting dashboards were replaced. I have seen internet posts/complaints by other nissan altima owners with the same problem as mine involving other years. I have lived in florida almost my entire life and have never had a dashboard react this way; neither have any family members or friends. I have talked with the dealer and also registered a complaint with nissan (i have the complaint number and the dealer sent pictures) but neither are willing to help. The cost of replacing the dashboard is over $2000. Another more encompassing recall should be issued requiring nissan to replace all melting dashboards regardless of year. Doing so will ensure the safety of the driver and the protection of the car and its equipment - protections rightfully expected by the driver at the time of purchase. Since this has been an ongoing problem i have noted below the approximate date that i actually realized the dashboard was melting.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
