THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING, GETTING SHINY AND STICKY. THE SUN REFLECTS OFF THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD, OBSCURING VISION. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED, MY VISION WAS PRETTY MUCH BLINDED. HAD THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ELECTED TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN AT THAT TIME, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

IN FEBRUARY 2014 I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN MY VEHICLE TO REPLACE ONE THAT WAS PART OF A RECALL BY NISSAN. ON JUNE 13, 2014 AT APPROXIMATELY 6PM WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN DELAWARE, MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT SAFELY OFF THE ROAD DESPITE BEING IN THE FAST LANE DURING HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER THAT REPLACED THE RECALLED TRANSMISSION. ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 16, 2014 THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE NISSAN DEALER ADVISED ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE ONE I RECEIVED WAS A 'BAD APPLE". LATER THAT SAME DAY, HE CALLED BACK TO ADVISE ME THE ISSUE WAS NOT THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WAS NOT INSTALLED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN FEBRUARY. THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED; HOWEVER WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES A SPEED OF 60-80MPH THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND ACTS JUST AS IT DID WHEN IT SHUT DOWN ON JUNE 13, 2014. *TR

MY DASHBOARD ON MY CAR IS MELTING AND I DON'T THINK ANYTHING NECESSARILY HAPPENED TO CAUSE IT - I JUST NOTICED IT WAS STICKY AT FIRST. IT'S NOW TO THE POINT WHERE WHEN THE SUN HITS IT I HAVE TO ADJUST MY LINE OF SIGHT AROUND THE GLARE FROM IT. I WAS TOLD TO REPORT THIS HERE. *TR

AROUND JUNE 1, 2012, I NOTICED A FEW SPOTS THAT LOOKED SHINY ON MY DASHBOARD IN THE MIDDLE SECTION ABOVE THE AIR VENTS. I DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT AT FIRST. HOWEVER, IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, LITTLE BY LITTLE. BY JUNE, 2013 IT STARTED TO PROJECT A GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDOW WHEN THE SUN HIT IT . LIVING IN FLORIDA, IT CAN BE BLINDING AT TIMES. MY HUSBAND NOTICED THAT IT WAS STICKY TO THE TOUCH. IN MAY 2013, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA AND NEEDED TO TAKE OFF WORK FOR CHEMO AND RADIATION. I CALLED FERMAN NISSAN IN OCT.TO INQUIRE IF ANY OTHER OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE PERSON I SPOKE WITH DISMISSED ME AND SAID IT WOULD BE OVER 1000 TO REPLACE AND I WAS PROBABLY RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. I SAID I WAS CONCERNED IF TOXIC FUMES COULD BE RELEASED WHEN THE DASH IS HEATED, AND HE SAID NO AND TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. IN FEB. WHEN I WAS FINISHED WITH MY TREATMENTS, I BEGAN INQUIRING WITH NISSAN CORPORATE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE DASH COULD BE TOXIC FOR ME, WHEN THE DASH HEAT UP, NOT TO MENTION THE DANGEROUS GLARE. I WAS TOLD TO GET A QUOTE FROM THE DEALER, WHICH I DID ON FEBRUARY, 11, 2014. IT SAID "DASH LOOKS LIKE IT'S MELTING." ESTIMATE 1619.46 PLUS TAX AND SUPPLIES TO REPLACE DASH. WHEN I FAXED NISSAN CORPORATE, THEY STILL DID NOTHING AFTER MAKING ME GET THE QUOTE. I WAS SO FRUSTRATED . THEN ACTION NEWS 10 DID A SEGMENT ON THE MELTING DASH PROBLEM AND EXPOSED THE FACT THAT THE ISSUE IS VERY COMMON. PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS SITUATION, AS I AM WORRIED TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR THIS WAY IN THE HOT FLORIDA SUN. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PASSENGER SIDE VEHICLE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT TO THE OFF POSITION AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO FLASH. THE DEALER STATED THE SEAT CUSHION ON THE PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN THEY STATED THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL IN MY SPECIFIC VIN; THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE IN 2008. THEY STATED THEY WOULD PAY 40% OF THE COST TO REPLACE SEAT CUSHION; WHICH WOULD RUN UPWARDS OF $800.00. I ASKED IF IT AS JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT THE AIRBAG IS NOW INOPERABLE AND THEY STATED YES IT WAS. THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS 08V521000. THE RECALL SPECIFIES THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME... *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING AND GETTING GOOEY AND STICKY FOR MONTHS. THIS CAUSES A DISTRACTING SPARKLING REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD DURING CERTAIN DAYS WHEN IT IS VERY SUNNY AND THE SUN SHINES DIRECTLY AT WINDSHIELD. THE DEFECT WAS REPORTED TO NISSAN (DEALERSHIP IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA, AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE) BUT THE COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR REPAIRING IT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, DESPITE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL AND THE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THERE WAS A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF A RECALL IN MARCH, 2014 RELATED TO THE RELIABILITY OF GAUGES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT SEAT, THAT TELL THE PERSON, AS WELL AS THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM, THAT THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT AIRBAG IS "NOW ENGAGED" AND READY TO ACTIVATE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT/EMERGENCY.. FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCEMENT I TOOK MY 2008 ALTIMA TO THE DEALER TO ENSURE I WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER IS AT 3275 SW 8TH STREET, ,MIAMI,, FLORIDA. AND IS CALLED AUTONATION NISSAN. THE SERVICE AGENT TOTAL ME, AFTER CURSORY RESEARCH IN HIS DATA BASE, THAT WHILE MANY, MANY NISSANS WERE RECALLED IN MY MODEL YEAR AND IN MY CAR GROUP, MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE SELECTION PROCESS FOR INCLUSION WENT BY SUPPLIER, AND NOT JUST BY TYPE OF CAR AND MODEL YEAR. TO ASCERTAIN IF MY CAR HAD A FAULTY AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT SEAT, I WOULD THEREFORE HAVE TO PAY A $150 UPFRONT DIAGNOSTIC FEE, AND, IF DAMAGE WAS NOTED, I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS MYSELF, AS MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THE AFFECTED PARTS WHICH WERE PROVIDED BY ONLY SELECT SUPPLIERS. THERE IS A PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTED FOR SOME TIME THAT WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE FRONT, RIGHT SIDE, SEAT, A BEACON LIGHT IN A SMALL SQUARE BOX ON THE DASH BOARD FLASHES ON AND CLEARLY STATES: "PASS. OFF - AIR BAG (X) PSG.. 2" THE REFERENCE FROM THE LIGHT LEAVES ONE WITH THE IMPRESSION THE AIR BAG, FOR THE PASSENGER IS NOT ACTIVATED. DURING A DRIVE, NO SET TIME PERIOD NOTED, THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A WHILE, AND LATER, COME BACK ON AGAIN. I AM CONVINCED THAT AT SOME CERTAIN POINTS THE SYSTEM IS TRYING TO TELL ME IT IS NOT ACTIVATED.. OF ALL THE CARS INVOLVED IN THE NISSAN RECALL, HOW COULD IT POSSIBLY BE THAT MINE IS EXCLUDED??? PLEASE, PLEASE TRY TO GET THIS CORRECTED. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING!!!!!!! AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME FROM THE AC VENTS, BUT IT JUST GOT WORSE & WORSE. I COULDN'T CLEAN IT EVEN WITH A WET RAG IT WAS SO STICKY THAT IT JUST STUCK TO IT. I KEPT A WINDSHIELD PROCTOR IN THE WINDOW AND IT STARTED TO MELT INTO THE DASH. IT GOT SO BAD IT WAS A HAZARD TO TRY AND DRIVE. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO MY DEALERSHIP WHO LOOKED AT IT AND FINALLY SAID "YES, YOUR DASHBOARD IS MELTING". I WAS TOLD TO CALL CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AFTER MONTHS OF BACK AND FORTH, VOICEMAIL CHASING AND ARGUING THAT THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE MY DASH DUE TO THEIR DEFECT THAT IS CAUSE FOR AN ACCIDENT. A HAZARD, AND NOW BEING UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I WAS TOLD INITIALLY THEY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE IT WASN'T A WARRANTY ITEM. EVENTUALLY THEY AGREED TO REPLACE( I SHOULD CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY), BUT THAT THE COST OF LABOR HAD TO BE DEALT WIT MY DEALERSHIP AT A COST OF $560. CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID THEY WILL ONLY PAY FOR THE PART. FINALLY DISCUSSED WITH DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT PART WAS IN, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WASN'T ORDERED. AN ORDER WAS SUPPOSEDLY PLACED ON 5/13/14 AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS. TODAY IS JUNE 3. 2014 AND I'M STILL WAITING! JUST SPOKE WITH PARTS DEPARTMENT AND THE PART IS ON BACKORDER WITH NO OTHER INFORMATION OF WHEN IT COULD POSSIBLY COME IN! SO MUCH FOR THE HELP! I PROBABLY WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN, AND IT'S A SHAME BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE MY CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN
5/31/2014, AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN 75 NORTH TOWARDS CHATTANOOGA GOING 80 MILES PER HOUR TO MAINTAIN SPEED OF TRAFFIC I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PUT MY EMERGENCY SIGNAL ON IN ORDER TO MERGE OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT EMERGENCY LANE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS NOT TOO HEAVY IN ORDER TO MOVE OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE IF SO IT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT. I ALLOWED THE CAR TO SIT FOR A BIT AND THEN DROVE BACK TO HOME TO SEE IF I COULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHERE I PURCHASED A VEHICLE AND TO FIND OUT THE ISSUE. AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE BACK HOME I HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NO MORE THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR IN A 70 MILES PER HOUR ZONE WITH MY HAZARDS SIGNALS FLASHING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO NO FASTER THAN 40 MILES PER HOUR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NEED TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN ON MONDAY BECAUSE THEY CLOSE SERVICE AT 12 O'CLOCK ON A FRIDAY. THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE WANT ME TO PAY A FEE IN ORDER FOR ME TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR, ONLY 8 MONTHS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS SITUATION WHERE NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA AND HAVE THIS ISSUE CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I'M SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 2.5S IS MELTING. THE MELTING STARTED AROUND THE EDGES OF THE SPEAKER GRILL AND THE TOP PART OF THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE TRIED TO REMOVE THE RESIDUE WITH DIFFERENT PRODUCTS, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. THE MELTING HAS PROGRESSED TO A POINT WHERE IT IMPAIRS MY VISION DUE TO THE REFLECTION OF SUN ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I AM ONLY ONE OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE. A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE FOR THE WORDS "MELTING" "DASHBOARD" AND "ALTIMA" WILL POP UP MORE THAN A DOZEN THREADS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THEM ARE FROM SATES WHERE THE TEMPERATURES ARE REGULARLY HOT. *TR
