Not a single event... dashboard has progressively gotten softer/stickier over the past few years. It is now cracked and is melting next to the windshield. It has off-gassed an unremovable film on the bottom half of the glass, and the car has such a noxious smell from the fumes we no longer feel it's healthy to drive without the windows down.

Dash melting and sticky and causing a glare in the windshield.

- Ocala, FL, USA

The dashboard is melting and turning to goo and now is also crumbling. I started contacting Nissan Corp approx 3 years ago. I have attempted to file 3 claims and all have been denied. The dealership agrees that the dashboard is defective but states since the car is out of warranty they can't help. The dashboard puts off a glare that is a safety hazard, especially on sunny days. This is the same issue that a lawsuit filed in Texas and Florida resulted in the dashboards. There is also an odor at times and the vapor leaves a film on the windshield. You can't clean the windshield because the rags or paper towels stick to the goo. This issue is a safety hazzard. I have researched and have found multiple consumers are experiencing the same issue and have been denied by Nissan. The Nissan rep would not even allow me to speak with her supervisor or anyone in charge. She simply said I have presented your information and our decision is final getting replaced. Basically I was told that I am not part of the Florida or Texas suit so sorry about your luck. Nissan did say that if I wanted to buy a new car they would offer me a special deal. Really why would I buy something from a company that knows the dashboards are defective.

I own a 2008 Nissan Altima. The dashboard began melting about 3 years ago however recently it started to melt more and become sticky to the touch. Every time I drive my vehicle, the glare that shines onto my windshield from the dashboard is terrible, so bad that it is hard to see at times. It has caused me to have trouble identifying things while driving. I have contacted Nissan about this issue and they will not acknowledge the issue and will charge $2500 for a new dashboard.

- Reseda, CA, USA

My dashboard has melted. It was parked in our driveway, in the sun, on a cold winters day, while there was snow on the ground, in New Jersey. How is that possible? aside from how terrible it looks, it's a safety concern. The surface is sticky + glossy, the fumes + odor are toxic & the real danger is the blinding glare reflecting up onto the windshield. The car cannot be driven in the daytime. We read about the recall in Florida only, but last we checked, the sun shines across all 50 states.

- Clifton, NJ, USA

The dash of my 2008 Nissan Altima coupe has melted so severely that it's almost impossible to drive in the daytime. The material once melted becomes extremely sticky and dangerously reflective. What I mean by reflective, is that when the sun shines, it reflects so much light from the dash to the front windshield right into my, the driver, eyes. The reflections are extremely and dangerously blinding which makes it very difficult to see the road or anything else for that matter! not to mention the glue like surface that makes it impossible to put something on the dashboard to try reducing the deadly reflections! the manufacture's defective product is extremely dangerous to the direct safety of myself and my family and every other motorist, pedestrians, animals etc.
