AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY/WIPER
PASSENGER AIRBAG SEAT SENSOR FREQUENTLY DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IF A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT. WAS TOLD THIS WAS A RECALL AND THAT IT WAS REPAIRED ON MY VEHICLE, BUT IT CLEARLY HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND MELTED TO THE POINT THAT WHEN IT'S BEING DRIVEN IT REFLECTS UP ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE.

THE DASHBOARD AREA ON THE CAR IS COMPLETELY BREAKING DOWN AND MELTING. THIS MELTING HAS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SHINE AND REFLECTION ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD (ALONG WITH AN ODOR). ITS BECOME SO BAD THEN ON MANY DAYS ITS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE CAR OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF YOU OR YOU SIMPLY CANNOT SEE ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AND IN SOME STATES WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT NEEDS TO BE A NATIONAL RECALL! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT AND THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE THAT PROVES THIS IS A BLATANT PROBLEM. IT IS THE VEHICLE SAFETY AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBILITY TO FORCE A REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE BEFORE AN INNOCENT INDIVIDUAL IS KILLED. NISSANUSA HAS REFUSED TO REMEDY OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS EXPENSIVE ISSUE WHEN CONTACTED. LIVES ARE AT RISK! THE CONSUMER IS BEING IGNORED. MY CAR IS PREDOMINATE GARAGE KEPT WITH UNDER 100K ON IT, THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY. CLEARLY BUSINESS INTERESTS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THEN CONSUMER SAFETY.

BOUGHT MY ALTIMA FROM A NISSAN DEALER AND IT WAS NEARLY NEW, AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. WELL ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO I NOTICED THE PAINT FADING AND NOW IT'S FADED ALL OVER DUE TO CLEAR COAT PROBLEM WITH THAT MODEL. HOWEVER, THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THE DASH IS MELTING! LITERALLY! SO WHEN I'M DRIVING THE GLARE CAUSED BY THE DASH ONTO MY WINDSHIELD IS LITERALLY BLINDING! THE DASH HAS MELTED ALL THE WAY ACROSS! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS MY PHOTOS CLEARLY SHOW. I NEARLY RAN INTO A LADY WALKING ON THE CROSSWALK BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE HER!!! PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN SUED OVER IT BUT DID NOTHING. I HAVE TALKED TO THEM BUT NOTHING! THEY ARE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AS I LIVE IN NASHVILLE, THEIR HEADQUARTERS HOME, AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME!!!
