2008 Nissan Altima UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SPREADING TO THE WINDSHIELD IT IS CAUSING THE LIGHTS AND SUN TO GLARE OFF THE MELTING PLASTIC IMPAIRING EMU VIEW.

THE DASHBOARD AREA ON THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BREAKING DOWN AND MELTING. THIS MELTING HAS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SHINE AND REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (ALONG WITH AN ODOR). ITS BECOME SO BAD THEN ON MANY DAYS ITS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE CAR OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF YOU OR YOU SIMPLY CANNOT SEE ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AND IN SOME STATES WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT NEEDS TO BE A NATIONAL RECALL! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT AND THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE THAT PROVES THIS IS A BLATANT PROBLEM. IT IS THE VEHICLE SAFETY AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBILITY TO FORCE A REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE AN INNOCENT INDIVIDUAL IS KILLED. NISSANUSA HAS REFUSED TO REMEDY OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS EXPENSIVE ISSUE WHEN CONTACTED. LIVES ARE AT RISK! THE CONSUMER IS BEING IGNORED. MY CAR IS PREDOMINATE GARAGE KEPT WITH UNDER 100K ON IT, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. CLEARLY BUSINESS INTERESTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THEN CONSUMER SAFETY.

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND IS VERY SOFT AND STICKY ALL AROUND. MY FINGERNAILS GOUGE THE DASH MATERIAL VERY EASILY WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. THE STICKINESS OF MY HANDS NEGATIVELY AFFECTS MY GRIP AND RELEASE OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED, MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME, AND FORTUNATELY SUN SHADE CLOSED SO GLASS DID NOT FALL IN ON ME. READING MANY OTHERS WITH NISSAN CARS DEALIGN WITH THIS. NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME, SO NOT DEBRIS HITTING COULD HAVE CAUSED.

BOUGHT MY ALTIMA FROM A NISSAN DEALER AND IT WAS NEARLY NEW, AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. WELL ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO I NOTICED THE PAINT FADING AND NOW IT'S FADED ALL OVER DUE TO CLEAR COAT PROBLEM WITH THAT MODEL. HOWEVER, THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE DASH IS MELTING! LITERALLY! SO WHEN I'M DRIVING THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE DASH ONTO MY WINDSHIELD IS LITERALLY BLINDING! THE DASH HAS MELTED ALL THE WAY ACROSS! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS MY PHOTOS CLEARLY SHOW. I NEARLY RAN INTO A LADY WALKING ON THE CROSSWALK BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE HER!!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN SUED OVER IT BUT DID NOTHING. I HAVE TALKED TO THEM BUT NOTHING! THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AS I LIVE IN NASHVILLE, THEIR HEADQUARTERS HOME, AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME!!!

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY SUNROOF JUST SEEMED TO HAVE EXPLODED. WE JUST HEAD A LOUD POP AND SHATTERED GLASS. WE DID NOT SEE ANYTHING HIT IT AND THERE'S NO ROCKS OR ANYTHING YO BE FOUND

THE FRONT DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH. A GLARE RESULTS ON THE WINDSHIELD DURING SUNNY DAYS, WHICH IS AN EXTREME HAZARD. I CAN'T SEE LARGE PORTIONS OF WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THE GLARE. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE WEB AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN.

MELTING DASHBOARD. SHINY AND STICKY. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT AS IT REFLECTS AND CAN DRASTICALLY INCREASE CHANCES OF AN ACCIDENT.

I BOUGHT A USED 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA, IT DRIVE FINE FOR THE TEST DRIVE I STARTED DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO BRING IT HOME IT STARTED JERKING REAL BAD AND THEN WHEN I GOT TO 40 MPH THE RPMS STARTED DROPPING SO I COULDN'T GO FASTER THEN 20MPH SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP IT SAID THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE FIXED ON IT , I STARTED DOING SEARCHES IN IT SAID THAT FOR THOSE MAKE IN MODELS OF CARS IT SAID THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BAD IN TO HAVE A RECALL DONE

THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR IS SLOWLY BREAKING DOWN. THE COMPOSITION OF THE MATERIALS HAS DEGRADED, OVER TIME, SO BAD THAT IT HAS LOST ITS SURFACE TEXTURE IN AREAS AND IS NOW SMOOTH AND HIGHLY SHINY/REFLECTIVE. THE SUN IS NOW REFLECTED ON TO MY WINDOW SHIELD AND I AM COMPLETELY BLINDED AND UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD, PEDESTRIANS AND CARS IN FRONT OF ME.

FOUND DASHBOARD MELTING AND CRACKING AROUND FLAT SURFACE AREAS AND A/C VENTS. EXTREME GLARE WHEN DRIVING!

WHILE DRIVING HOME AFTER WORK MY SUNROOF ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA EXPLODED IT WAS NOT HOT OR COLD TEMP WAS APPROXIMATELY 75 DEGREES NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE AROUND ME AT THE TIME . SPEED WAS 50 MPH ON A CITY STREET I NEVER USE THE SUNROOF IT'S ALWAYS ON THE CLOSE POSITION NO PRIOR CRACKS OR SCRAPES ON THE SUNROOF DATE OF INCIDENT 2/02/2018 . I DID REPORT INCIDENT TO NISSAN AS OF 2/9/2018 NO RESPONSE

DASHBOARD IS MELTING DUE TO HEAT AND SUN IN TEXAS. MELTING GLUE IS CREATING A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW THE WINDSHIELD. VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELY LIMITED. DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND CANNOT BE CLEANED OR WIPED OFF.

THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR HAS CRACKED AND BECOME STICKY. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5SL DASHBOARD MELTING AND CRACKING, NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THE SUNLIGHT BECAUSE IT WILL SHINE ON WINDSHIELD.

DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING NOW FALLING APART

MY DASHBOARD IS IS FALLING APART THE GLARE ON IT IS HIGH ..I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IN FLORIDA NISSAN LOST OR GAVE IN TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS ISSUE ..TOYOTA ASSISTED ITS CUSTOMERS WITH A RECALL WHY IS NISSAN NOT DOING THE SAME ?

DASH BOARD IS MELTED CAUSING GLARING WHEN DRIVING FROM DASHBOARD AND WINDSHIELD.

MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS NOT LOCKING WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS ALLOWS ANYONE TO OPEN MY DOOR, BUT IT DOES SET OFF MY ALARM. MY CAR HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO TWICE WHILE PARKED IN A SECURED ACCESS GARAGE BECAUSE THEY ARE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, SNATCH AND GRAB. I READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE DRIVERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOCK THEIR DOORS.

MY MOTOR MOUNT,HAS GONE OUT. IT LEFTS UP WHEN YOU DRIVE IT AND MAKE A KNOCKING NOISE, WHEN YOU STOP ON THE GAS.

CURRENTLY, I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND AM AN OWNER OF 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS CAR IS USUALLY IN THE GARAGE AND RARELY IS IMPACTED BY THE SUN. I HAVE NOTICED IN THE LAST WEEK 3 CRACKS APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY STATED TO ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THEN LOOKED ON LINE AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH ALTIMA'S IN THE YEARS OF 2008 AND 2009. NISSAN KNOW S THAT THERE DASHBOARDS WERE MADE WITH A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE HUMIDITY OF FLORIDA. THE LAWSUIT HAD COME AND PAST. I WAS 6 MONTHS FROM THE DEADLINE OF APRIL 29TH 2017. THE ISSUE THOUGH WITH THIS DASHBOARD IS A VISABILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SHINES FROM THE GLARE OF THE SUN WHICH IMPEDES DRIVING.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SEPARATING, AND IT HAS A CAUSTIC SMELL. I'VE BROUGHT IT INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DID INDEED CONFIRM THAT MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING, HAS AN ODOR AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I HAVE ACTUALLY PUT MY FINGERNAIL INTO THE MELTING DASH BY ACCIDENT AND IT HAS LEFT A MARK! I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR, INCLUDING KEEPING IT QUITE CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT . I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH NISSAN VIA EMAIL AND PHONE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY 2008 ALTIMA SE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND WAS GIVEN AN "OH WELL, NOT OUR PROBLEM" TYPE OF ATTITUDE AND RESPONSE. I AM BEYOND CONCERNED SINCE THE DASH IS DEGRADING AND SHINY CAUSING DECREASED VISIBILITY DUE TO A GLARE. MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT THIS MELTING DASHBOARD WILL EFFECT THE MECHANICS OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN AN ACCIDENT, AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONICS THAT THE DASHBOARD PROTECTS. I AM DISMAYED THAT NISSAN CAN TREAT CUSTOMERS WITH LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUES WITH A CARTE BLANCHE OR LAISSEZ-FAIRE ATTITUDE. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN FLORIDA BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD MELTING AFFECTED SO MANY ALTIMAS! COMPLAINTS ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FLORIDA CLASS ACTION SUIT, THERE ARE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS IN MULTIPLE STATES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MATERIALS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT MEANT TO LAST ANY CAR OWNER MORE THAN A FEW YEARS. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR! MY CAR HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. I TAKE IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND OTHER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE; NO CONSUMER SHOULD EVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A MELTING DASHBOARD NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE CAR, OR HAVE MATERIALS IN IT THAT DEGRADE TO THE POINT THAT IT CAUSES MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES FOR ANY PERSON RIDING IN THAT VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MAJOR RECALL ON THE 2008 ALTIMA, OR ANY NISSAN MADE WITH THIS DEFECTIVE, FAULTY MATERIAL. THIS IS HAZARDOUS TO ONE AND ALL.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH NO TITLE AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET A TITLE FOR IT. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THE PROCESS IS.

THE DASH IS MELTING, AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, FORMING SOME KIND OF STICKY, SHINY RESIDUE. THIS RESIDUE CAUSES THE DASH TO REFLECT OFF THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.
