THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE HAS A STICKY TAR LIKE SUBSTANCE SPREADING OVER MY DASHBOARD. THIS LIMITS VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING, DRIVING IN THE SUN IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STREET SIGNS, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU ARE TRYING TO SEE OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IT IS DANGEROUS! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN OR COVER UP . ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT GETS TAR LIKE STUFF ON IT THAT WON'T COME OFF.WHEN PUTTING ON AND TAKING OFF THE SUN SHIELD YOU MUST BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING WITH THE SUN SHADE OR YOU WILL HAVE TAR IN THE INTERIOR OF YOUR CAR AND YOUR CLOTHES. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY ALTIMA IS ALSO GETTING STICKY AND THE GLARE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU HAVE EVER TRIED DRIVING WITH SOMETHING LIKE A MIRROR REFLECTING A BRIGHT LIGHT IN YOUR EYES, BUT ITS AN ISSUE. IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THINGS IN A LOT OF CASES; LIKE ANYTIME THE SUN IS OUT. I ALMOST HIT A CHILD TODAY ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THE GLARE WAS DIRECTLY IN MY EYES AND IT HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN. THESE DASHBOARDS SUCK AND NISSAN SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO PRODUCE SAFETY HAZARD RIDDEN THINGS THAT ARE STICKY AND TACKY AND LITERALLY FALLING APART. EVERY TIME SOMETHING NICKS IT CREATES A DENT IN THE DASHBOARD. THEY NEED TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION OR REPLACE IT. *TR

AS I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE (DRIVING 60 MPH) THEN REDUCED MY SPEED TO 20 WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT WOULDN'T GO!! IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND MY RPM WOULD CLIMB UP TO 4 OR 5! I HAD TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY BACK HOME ON INTERSTATE DRIVING 20 MPG!!! IT'S HAPPENED ONLY WHEN I TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES!! I AM HIGHLY DISSATISFIED WITH THE ALTIMA! EVERYONE I ENCOUNTERED ABOUT THE 2006-2008 ALTIMA REGRETS GETTING ONE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF OUR 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS STARTED MELTING AND CRACKING. THE DASH IS NOW SO SHINY FROM THE MELTING SUBSTANCE, THAT THERE IS A SEVERE GLARE ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON SUNNY DAYS. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ ROAD SIGNS BECAUSE OF THIS GLARE. THIS MAKES FOR VERY HAZARDOUS DRIVING. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH OCCURS BECAUSE OF THE SEVERE GLARE. *TR

DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE "MELTING". THE DASH HAS BECOME STICKY AND SHINY. THE SHINE FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD. THIS GLARE HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS INTERFERED WITH MY DRIVING ABILITY. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND THE SUN SHINES ALL YEAR. THIS GLARE IS NO DOUBT A SAFETY HAZARD AND MUST BE RECALLED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN HQ AND BOTH PLACES WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO REPAIR THIS WITHOUT CHARGING $. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
MY NISSAN ALTIMA IS DEVELOPING RUST UNDER DRIVER SIDE OF CAR. AND I WAS DENIED STATE INSPECTION SINCE IT WAS HAZARD TO PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE. I SAW SO MANY COMPLAINT WITH SAME MATTERS ON SAME YEAR MODEL NISSAN ALTIMA. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR. AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO LOOK AT IT SINCE IT IS NOT UNDER THERE RECALL PROGRAM. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE 75000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE RUST DAMAGE TO THE CAR AT THIS POINT OF THE LIFE OF A CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF I CAN GET ASSISTANCE FROM NHTSA TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
