Dashboard melting. It is extremely difficult to see the pedestrian, road, vehicles due to glare on the windshield when the sunlight reflects from the dashboard. The glare impairs the vision and we had many near miss incidents that could have cost lives, property damage. We request recall considering the safety of all on the road.

08 Nissan Altima coupe that I purchased new in South Florida February 08 that I've owned since has a melted, sticky, and cracked dashboard. Also, the dash is changing colors. The defective and melted dashboard makes it dangerous to drive because the sun reflects on the dashboard making it very hard to see out of the windshield. As referenced in the class action lawsuit tracy sanborn V. Nissan North America, Inc. My car should be covered. I spoke with a rep at 1-800-Nissan-1 and they claimed to have no idea this existing. I have opened my case and will hopefully get it fixed soon.

The material on the dash is melting, and there are chunks breaking off, greatly affecting the value of my vehicle. This also causes a reflection on the windshield. There is a glare in the direct line of my vision and when driving into the sun it is very difficult to see. I have heard other makes of this same year have had similar problems, and had manufacture recall. Hopefully Nissan will follow suit. Soon.

Dashboard is melting causing a dangerous glare on the windshield restricting my vision. The vision restriction caused by this glare makes driving hazardous in this vehicle. I have seriously considered trading in the vehicle for this sole issue. Nissan needs to take responsibility replace these dashboards or at least pay for 50 percent of the costs. I have also considered joining the class action lawsuit which has been filed against Nissan.

The dashboard is actually melting causing difficulty in proper and sufficient visibilty due to excessive glare reflecting off of melting dashboard. This is making it difficult in seeing pedestrians, animals, traffic lights, and signs. I've had too many close calls of not seeing pedestrians from this glare until the I was almost on top of them.

- Pbg, FL, USA

The dash surface has severe melting and the resultant glare causes visibility to be significantly reduced under normal driving conditions. The result of the melting dash surface can create temporary blinding conditions as the vehicle orients to direct sunlight and after dark street lighting. This car is dangerous to drive. This product should be recalled immediately and fixed by Nissan.

My dashboard is melting and beginning to spread down to the glove compartment. I can barely see when I drive because the glare is too bad. I almost ran over something and had to swerve because I couldn't see it...it keeps happening. There she be a recall before lives are lost.

- Pike Road, AL, USA

My dashboard has started becoming gooey and very shiny. If I touch it, it feels like I am touching an adhesive used for something like a bumper sticker. The safety issue is that this is very reflective and projects a glaring image on the windshield making it hard to see parts of the road ahead.

- Cypress, TX, USA

The dashboard is starting to melt bad. I've been trying to protech it with sunshades but it still continues to melt. This is causing glare on my windshield and causing obstruction for my driving and becoming a safety issue. Not sure why nhsta is waiting for some accident to happen. I would request recall and fix the dashboard issue

- Bellaire, TX, USA

The dashboard on my Altima is melting and is extremely sticky and cannot be cleaned. The defect causes a horrendous glare and makes it extremely difficult to drive safely when it is sunny outside which is quite often in Louisiana. This is clearly a fault in the hands of Nissan.

- Abita Springs, LA, USA

Dashboard melted and causes a severe glare on the front windshield. This glare limits viability and is dangerous when driving.

- Round Rock, TX, USA

The dashboard for my 2008 Nissan Altima coupe is melting. In sunlight (most of the day), my visibility on the road is decreased tremendously due to glare the melting material causes to reflect on the front window. This has been a huge safety hazard while driving. From online searches, this is a common issue for many Nissan Altima drivers, and Nissan has failed to respond and replace these melting dashboards. A recall is needed before an accident happens.

I live in central Florida and own a 2008 Nissan Altima coupe. My dashboard began to reflect a real bad glare while my husband drives. He is the primary driver as I am not. He has complained about it as well but it is evident that he sees the glare as I see it as well. Come to find out I have a melting dashboard per Nissan auto technicians. It is gooey, sticky, and causes such a bad glare that we only drive in early morning or late early evening when the sun is not so extreme. The Nissan service department stated to file a complaint to Nissan corporate office since they have been replacing these at no cost for other vehicles. I placed a complaint with Nissan corporate as I was advised. I received a phone call from them on 8/28/15, stating that they will not replace the dashboard for the following reasons: Outside of warranty, no current recalls & campaigns, no service contract, no extensions history of service of the vehicle and other factors. What does that mean? there is not definitive answer. When I asked to give specific they said they did. Mind you, I service my car and all maintenance has been done on the vehicle either by my husband and son (who is a mechanic), Nissan service department or tire plus. I think this is absurd! we can cause a huge accident one day for a product default by Nissan engineers. My husband has tried to avoid many accidents from this glare from the dashboard as the sun in Florida hits hard on a black dashboard especially. I am filing this complaint to have the NHTSA get involved in enforcing Nissan and any other vehicle manufacturing companies that are facing this issue to recall this defective product. This can cause many accidents and speaking from experience, we have avoided several ones thus far. We have been lucky thus far but I can't predict the future of what will happen tomorrow if this defect doesn't get corrected by Nissan.

The dashboard in my 2008 Nissan Altima is melting away and has left behind a very sticky and shiny surface that emits a very strong vision impairing glare onto the windshield. Due to this glare, I have had almost a number of near miss accident situations since this issue begun in 2012-13. The glare impacts your visibly, adding more distraction and limits response time when aggressive or phone distracted drives suddenly swerve or pull out in front of you as you try to avoid an accident. Apart from the glare, the dashboard is emitting a very strong chemical like odor which makes me concerned for my overall health. I don't believe it is healthy for any driver/passenger to have to be breathing in the toxic particles from the materials and glue of which the part is made of. My other concern in this situation is the impact the defected melting dashboard has on the release of the passenger airbag in the event of a crash. The dashboard upon touch is very guey, sticky, and smears or comes-off when pressed. The manufacturer has refused to replace this part and has quoted $2,000 for part replacement. This is not only a very costly item, but also unfair to the owner who can't afford the repair and has to jeopardize their safety because of manufacturers negligence by supplying defective part. I try to avoid driving this vehicle unless it is necessary out of concern for my safety.
