2012 Nissan Maxima UNKNOWN OR OTHER

We are having issues with "melting" or "sticky dashboard of my 2014 Nissan Maxima. Difficult to see when is sunny outside.

Dashboard melting/sticky, glare.

WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (STRAIGHT AND AT A STEADY SPEED) THE HOOD SUDDENLY OPENED COMPLETELY, MOSTLY BROKE OFF THE CAR, AND FLEW INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE MECHANIC THAT INSPECTED THE CAR TOLD ME THAT THE MAIN HOOD LATCH WAS CORRODED AND NOT FUNCTIONAL, AND THAT THE SAFETY LATCH WAS COMPLETELY FROZEN IN THE OPEN POSITION. NISSAN CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON ALTIMAS FOR HOOD LATCH FAILURE. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO REQUEST THAT THE CAR BE INSPECTED, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE WAIT WOULD BE 6 - 8 WEEKS, DURING WHICH WE SHOULD OF COURSE NOT HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED, AND WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITH AN ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. WHEN I OBJECTED, IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT WE COULD DRIVE THE CAR WHILE WAITING. WHEN I POINTED OUT THAT IT NOW HAD NO HOOD, I WAS TOLD THAT WHETHER OR NOT TO DRIVE IT WAS MY PERSONAL CHOICE. MY INABILITY TO WAIT 6 - 8 WEEKS WAS DEEMED A REFUSAL OF THE INSPECTION, AND THE CASE (NISSAN CASE #[XXX] WAS CLOSED. BECAUSE MY SON'S FRIEND WAS RECORDING A CAR DRIVING AHEAD OF THEM AT THE TIME, THE ENTIRE INCIDENT IS ON VIDEO. (I TRIED TO UPLOAD THE VIDEO BUT WAS UNABLE TO.*DT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS MORNING, THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF ON MY 2012 NISSAN MAXIMA SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. HAD THE SUNROOF BEEN OPEN, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN EXTENSIVE DAMAGES TO ME PERSONALLY, MY UNBORN CHILD (7 MONTHS PREGNANT), AND OTHERS DRIVING AROUND ME IF I HAD LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND MELTING

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 5 MONTHS AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT ON IT. AFTER DOING A RESEARCH ONLINE, I HAVE REALIZED THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO REALIZED THAT NISSAN HAS HAD TRANSMISSION RECALLS ON SEVERAL NISSAN MAXIMA'S THROUGH DIFFERENT YEARS EXCEPT FOR THE 2012. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, WHEN IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED AFTER 10 MPH.

ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2017 I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND I HEARD A LOUD BOOM. I PULLED OFF AND SAW THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUNROOF WITH THE EDGES OF THE GLASS RAISED UPWARD. THE REMAINING GLASS WAS POPPING AND CRACKING.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE AC WENT FROM COLD TO WARM. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THE GUY SAID IT HAD PLENTY OF FREON IN IT. HE SAID SOMETHING IS BLOCKING THE FREON.

THE SUNROOF EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY. I WAS SITTING IN EVENING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AT AN ALMOST STAND STILL. THE INSIDE ROOF PANEL/COVER WAS PULLED BACK, BUT THE SUNROOF ITSELF WAS NOT OPENED. I HAD TURNED THE A/C ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES BECAUSE ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T VERY HOT OUTSIDE (UPPER 70S), I WAS MAKING A BUSINESS CALL OVER THE CAR'S BLUETOOTH SYSTEM, AND HAD ROLLED THE WINDOWS UP IN ORDER TO HEAR THE CALL CLEARLY. AFTER THE CAR GOT COLD, I TURNED THE AIR OFF. BEFORE I COULD OPEN THE WINDOWS, SO THE CAR COULD WARM BACK UP INSIDE, THERE WAS A LARGE "BOOM" AND SUBSEQUENTLY GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF BEGAN FALLING DOWN INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE.

TIRE RECALL FROM HANKOOK TIRE FOR VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2, 245/45R18. I HAVE CALLED HANKOOK SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY WILL NOT HELP. MY TIRES ARE THE ONES THEY ARE RECALLING. ALL I WANT IS THE REFUND THEY STATE IN THE LETTER THEY SENT TO ME CERTIFIED.
