2009 Nissan Maxima UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I just purchased this vehicle. The dashboard gives a reflection on the windshield. It is a visibility hazard. The dashboard is very sticky, like it's melting in the sun.

MY BACKUP CAMERA COME ON SOMETIME AND SOMETIME IT SHOW A BLACK SCREEN

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND HAS BECOME VERY STICKY AND SHINY IN SECTIONS. THE SHINE CREATES A REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I LOST POWER AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WHILE I WAS STILL PRESSING ON THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT, CAR WAS TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND IT'S BEEN SITTING EVER SINCE. *TR

MY CAR WOULD NOT START THE KEY SYMBOL LIGHT IS ON THE DASHBOARD. BUT THE KEY LOCKS AND UNLOCKED THE CAR BUT IT'S DOESN'T START

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY, NO VEHICLES AROUND ME,AND IT WAS A SUNNY DAY, I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. I PULLED OVER AND MY MOON ROOF OVER THE DRIVER SEATS EXPLODED OUT. THE GLASS FLEW OFF MY CAR. ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF LATER AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, MY MOON ROOF IN THE BACKSEAT EXPLODED OUT, CAUSING ALL THE GLASS TO FLY OFF THE CAR. NOW MY WHOLE TEMPERED GLASS IS SHATTERED. THANKFULLY AT THE TIME OF THE GLASS EXPLODING, I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE VEHICLE. BUT THE DAY MY REAR MOON ROOF EXPLODED I HAD TO PICK UP MY KIDS. I WAS ONLY DRIVING 20-25 MPH AND THE SHARDS OF GLASS KEPT DROPPING ON ME AND MY KIDS (FROM THE WIND BLOWING THE FABRIC) MY OLDEST DAUGHTER GOT GLASS STUCK IN HER AS WELL.

THE PLASTICS ON THE DASH ARE MELTING...

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND NOTHING WILL FIX IT, AS IT IS SIMPLY A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY IT WAS MADE. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH A NISSAN MAXIMA OR A NISSAN ALTIMA HAVE MELTING DASHBOARDS. TEXAS HEAT, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER STATES, IS DAMAGING OUR DASHBOARDS. NOT ONLY IS IT MELTING, BUT IT BREAKS AND CRACKS IF YOU TOUCH IT. IF A FINGERNAIL TOUCHES IT, IT CREATES AN INDENTION. I HAVE MANY SPOTS ON MY DASHBOARD WHERE PIECES HAVE FALLEN COMPLETELY OFF. NOT ONLY IS IT BREAKING, BUT IT IS ALSO VERY VERY STICKY. IT IS HARD TO CLEAN. THE WORST PART IS THAT IT CAUSES A GLARE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SINCE IT IS SO STICKY, THE SUN REFLECTS AND CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

DASHBOARD MELTING VERY STICKY AND SHINY, VERY HARD TO SEE OUT OF WINDSHIELD WHEN SUN GLARES OFF DASHBOARD.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2009 NISSAN MAXIMA MELTED AND BECAME STICKY. THE PATTERN IN THE SUBSTRATE IS NOW SMOOTH AND GLOSSY CAUSING A BLINDING GLARE WHEN DRIVING AS IT REFLECTS LIGHT DIRECTLY IN THE DRIVERS EYES, BOTH FROM THE DASH AND THE GLASS ABOVE.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING TO THE POINT WHERE THERE IS A DANGEROUS GLARE FROM IT ON MY WINDOW WHEN I DRIVE. NOT ONLY IS IT STICKY AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN BUT THE GLARE MAKES IT HARD TO SEE THE ROAD.

MY NISSAN MAXIMA 2009 WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS MY LOCKING STEERING CONTROL ON THE COLUMN. I WAS STRANDED AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REFUSED TO COVER THIS EVEN THOUGH THEY NEW THIS FLAW WOULD HAPPEN AT 72000 MILES MY CAR HAD 76000.MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY WORK PARKING LOT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL....

CHANGED MY BATTERY NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START AND I AM UNABLE TO PRESS DOWN THE BRAKES OR TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE DASHBOARD TO MY 2009 NISSAN MAXIMA IS MELTING AND IT IS CRACKING AROUND ALL THE AC VENTS AND AROUND THE RADIO & DISPLAY CONSOLE.

I AM EXPERIENCING SHUDDERING/HESITATION AT TAKE OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING SO I CALLED WORLD CARE NISSAN IN SAN ANTONIO, TX AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND SEEMS MORE PRONOUNCED NOW. *TR

I AM A SOLDIER STATIONED IN GERMANY WHO ENCOUNTERED A TIRE BLOW OUT ON 6 DECEMBER 2011. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE DRIVING ON THE MILITARY BASE AND SOMEONE CAUGHT MY ATTENTION TO NOTIFY ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE AUTO SHOP ON THE BASE AND TOLD THEY COULD NOT ORDER THE TIRE THROUGH ANY OF THEIR VENDORS AND I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE LOCAL ECONOMY. HOWEVER, BEFORE I LEFT THEY INSPECTED THE TIRE TO IDENTIFY WHAT CAUSED THE FLAT AND STATED IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE TIRE SEPERATED FROM THE SEAMS. IT WAS VERY DISTURBING THIS HAPPENDED, BECAUSE I USUALLY HAVE MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO I AM USUALLY DRIVING IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING OR AT NIGHT. IN ADDITION THE TIRE WILL COST $300 TO PAY FOR. I PAID ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR A TIRE WARRANTY, WHICH DOES NOT COVER MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. *TR

MY WIFE IS A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER. SHE HAS AN ASSIGNED SPOT WHICH IS RIGHT UP TO THE CURB NEAR AN ENTRANCE TO THE SCHOOL, APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET BETWEEN CURB AND BUILDING. AS SHE ENTERED HER SPOT AND PREPARED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE, SHE SAW AN EXCLAMATION POINT FLASH TWICE ON THE DASHBOARD, AND WITH HER FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR RACED UNCONTROLLABLY FORWARD JUMPING THE CURB AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL SHE PUSHED THE STOP/START BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD OF THE KEYLESS SYSTEM. AS THERE WERE MANY STUDENTS AND SEVERAL TEACHERS IN THE VICINITY, IT IS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT THE CAR STOPPED FOR MY WIFE AND EVERY ONE ELSE IN THE AREA.
