MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND IT CAUSES FOR THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO BUILD A FILM. ITS DIFFICULT TO CLEAN AND I HAVE TO CLEAN I AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. THE GLARE OFF THE MELTED DASH MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SEE OUTSIDE. I HAVE INCLUDED SOME PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE.

MY DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING/STICKY AND THE GEAR HANDLE IS STICKY AND I'VE CONTACTED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD! IT'S HARD TO SEE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE SUN IS SHINING DIRECTLY INTO YOUR EYES. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN DOES NOT CARE AT ALL.

THE DASH ON THE CAR IS MELTED. THERE IS A STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL IN THE CAR THAT WE CANNOT GET RID OF AND WE ARE CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS TO REMOVE A FILM THAT CAUSES A HORRIBLE GLARE IN THE DAY AND AT NIGHT. THE CAR WAS ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IN TEXAS BUT WE LIVE IN OKLAHOMA NOW. THE PROBLEM STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO BUT OVER TIME IT HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE AND NOW THE DASH IS SO STICKY YOU CANNOT CLEAN IT OTHER THAN VACUUM THE BIG PIECES OFF.

MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A "MELTING" DASH, PARTICULARLY AROUND THE DEFROSTER AREA. IT IS STICKY IN OTHER PARTS OF DASH ON SIDES AND WHERE IT IS MOLDED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NBC5 IN DALLAS, TX IN THE MONTH OF JULY FOR 2008-2009 MODELS. TO MY SURPRISE, MY 2010 HAS SAME ISSUE. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN LOTS ALTIMA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE EXCEPT REPLACEMENT, OVER $1000 DOLLARS. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR (SINCE 2014) AND FEEL IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY NISSAN SINCE IT IS CAUSED BY THEM USING A SUB STANDARD MATERIAL. THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN MISSISSIPPI ACCORDING TO NISSAN. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CONTINUES TO DISINTEGRATE IN HIGH HEAT. CANNOT PARK IN SUN & CAN'T PUT SUN SCREEN UP WHERE MELTED, IT STICKS & MAKES PERMANENT MARKS IN DASH. SINCE IT APPEARS SHINY IT GIVES OFF A GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A FIX. THIS IS MY SECOND ALTIMA AND IT DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE! I CAN PROVIDE PHOTO ON REQUEST.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAS FAILED ON OUR 2010 ALTIMA 2.5. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSANS AND IS IN FACT THE SUBJECT OF A NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN, NUMBER NTB10-139. THE DEFECTIVE ORIGINAL NISSAN SWITCH CAUSES A NO START SITUATION IF IT OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING, AND FAILURE OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO LIGHT WHEN BRAKING IF IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN HAS RELEASED A REVISED SWITCH TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ORIGINAL DESIGN, BUT IN REVIEWING TRANSPORTATION.GOV AND CONTACTING THE DEALER, THERE IS NO RECALL OR MANUFACTURER VOLUNTARY CAMPAIGN TO REMEDY THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING THE REPAIR AT OUR OWN EXPENSE AND MY INITIATE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NISSAN USA IF THERE IS NOT ALREADY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
DASH BOARD IS MELTING AND CREATING SHINY SURFACE WHICH CREATES A GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. DEPENDING ON TIME OF THE DAY AND ANGLE OF THE SUN, THAT GLARE PREVENTS CLEAR VISION TO THE ROAD. LAW SUIT FOR SIMILAR ISSUE WAS ALREADY APPROVED IN FLORIDA AND NISSAN REPLACED DASH BOARDS FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT EVEN IT RELATES TO SAFETY AND VISIBILITY. THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND CAN NOT BE TREATED AS STATE WISE. ALSO I AM NOT SURE IF THIS MELTING DASHBOARD IS CREATING ANY HARMFUL FUMES THAT I NEED TO BE WORRIED ABOUT. I HAVE ATTACHED IMAGE AND CAN SHARE MORE IMAGE IF NEEDED. DEPENDING ON TIME AND ANGLE OF THE SUN THIS GETS EVEN WORSE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AN SUN HITS THE DASH BOARD AT CERTAIN ANGLE.
