2008 Nissan Altima STRUCTURE,VISIBILITY/WIPER

THE FRONT DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THERE IS A PUDDLE OF MELTED MATERIAL THAT REFLECTS LIGHT INTO THE DRIVERS EYES EFFECTING THE DRIVERS VISION. THE COMPANY REFUSES REPAIR THE PROBLEM STATING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BELIEVE THE MATERIAL USED IN THE DASHBOARD IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BEYOND WARRANTY DATES AND MILEAGE. *TR

DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT AROUND THE A/C VENTS AND IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE IS MELTING AND CREATES AN EXTREMELY REFLECTIVE SURFACE THAT PREVENTS ME FROM BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD, WHILE DRIVING IN SUNNY CONDITION. THE MELTING/STICKY STARTED WITH A SMALL SPOT ON THE DASH THEN THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND SPREAD OVER THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT FROM THE SUN MELTED THE DASHBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE REFLECTION OF THE DASHBOARD WAS BLINDING TO THE CONTACT WHEN DRIVING.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

DASHBOARD HAS STARTED TO MELT IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE THAT HAS GREATLY IMPAIRED MY VISION WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD ON A SUNNY DAY. THE GLARE REFLECTED FROM THE MELTING PORTION OF MY DASH IS REFLECTED ONTO MY WINDSHIELD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE LACK OF VISIBILITY. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE STARTED MELTING AROUND MAY, 2013. AT FIRST IT WAS NOT NOTICEABLE BUT NOW THERE ARE BIG SHINY, STICKY PATCHES ON MY DASHBOARD. THIS WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM BUT WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY THE SUN REFLECTS OFF OF THE MELTED AREAS AND CAUSES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD THAT GREATLY REDUCES MY VISIBILITY. BECAUSE OF THAT I TEND TO NOT DRIVE IT OFTEN. ALSO ITS GIVING OFF THE SMELL OF BURNED PLASTIC. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS COMMON IN PLACES LIKE TEXAS, FLORIDA, AND CALIFORNIA. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/NISSANUSA/POSTS/10152938385130375 HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/MY-DASHBOARD-IS-MELTING-T569582.HTML. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LIMITED VISIBILITY. *TR

I'VE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD MELTING AND CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT IMPAIRS DRIVING ABILITY. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE ON THE ROAD, AND VISIBILITY CAN OFTEN BECOME AN ISSUE WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE HIGH. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING. I HAVE NEVER APPLIED ANY CHEMICAL CLEANING SOLUTIONS TO THE DASHBOARD AND I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE INTENSE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASH BOARD IS SO INTENSE THAT I HAVE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE VEHICLE. THE NISSAN CLAIMS DEPARTMENT STATES THAT THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO OF NEVER SEEN A DASHBOARD MELT. AN INTERNET INFORMATION SEARCH FOR "2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD MELTING" REVEALS NUMEROUS OTHER 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED CREATING A TERRIBLE GLARE THAT IS NOT JUST DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING BUT DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD DURING THE DAY OR WHEN ON COMING HEADLIGHTS COME TOWARDS ME DURING THE NIGHT. NOT ONLY IS IT TERRIBLY DANGEROUS BUT THE MELTING IS MAKING MY DASH STICKY CAUSING PARKING PASSES TO STICK AND LEAVE RESIDUE. *TR
