I brought my car to Florida 2 years ago and notices my dashboard getting very shiny and sticky. Now the dash is cracking in many areas. The glare off the dash board shining on the windshield makes it a dangerous situation. I called Nissan and they said it is a common problem in years 2005-2012 and there is nothing they can do. I googled it and there are many complaints online regarding this problem. A 13 y/o car that was garaged for 11 years in the NE and now parked underneath a parking garage should not have this problem. It is definitely a defect in manufacturing that is causing a safety issue and a diminished value issue.

My 2011 Nissan Altima has a melted dashboard and the clear coat is coming off. Most importantly, there is a terrible glare from the damaged dashboard and it is a major safety hazard. See the attached pictures. I contacted Nissan nat'L and they said it was out of warranty, but they would help me. They had me get diagnosis on the dash and clear coat, then told me no, it's out of warranty!!? I understand a lot of other Nissan owners are having the same problems. Nissan has already had a class action lawsuit for these two issues for models up to 2009, so they knew the dash and clear coat were bad, yet they sold new models anyway!
