THE DASHBOARD OF MY CARD ITS MELTING , I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAY THERE ITS NO RECALL BUT I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAITS JUST LIKE MINE , WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN ACCIDENT START HAPPENING WHEN AIRBAGS DEPLOY THATS MY CONCERN

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD "MELTING". MAJORITY OF DASHBOARD NOW LOOKS SHINNY AND APPEARS TO HAVE A LIQUID SHINE TO IT, WHICH CAUSES BLIND SPOTS DURING DRIVING DUE TO THE REFLECTIVE NATURE OF THE "MELTED" DASH. CANNOT TOUCH, CLEAN, OR WIPE THE DASH AS THE SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO TACKY GLUE. NOTHING HAS BEEN SPRAYED ON THE DASH TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE, THIS IS JUST THE HEAT BUILDING UP INTERNALLY AND THE DESIGN OF THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL BEING SUBSTANDARD.

I'VE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN REFERENCE TO THIS AND GOT THE RUN AROUND. ALSO CALLED MY INSURANCE AND THEY KEPT SAYING TO CALL OR GO TO YOU. DASHBOARD IS STILL STICKY AND BEING ASKED ALMOST $1500 TO GET IT FIXED. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS TO GET RESOLVED.

THE DASH BOARD IS MELTING. THERE IS A STICKY SUBSTANCE COMING FORM THE DASH BOARD THAT CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT GLARE FROM THE SUN. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILED A COMPLAINT REAGRDING MY DASHY BOARD (COMPLAINT #19437322) AND A REPRESENTATIVE NAMED "MARISOL" ADVISED ME THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT BE REPLACING OR REPAIRING MY DASH BOARD AT NOT EXPENSE TO ME. THSI IS AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND MAY OWNERS OF THE 2008 NISSAN ARE EXPERASINCING TEH SAME UNSAFE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DASH BOARD MELTING.

I PURCHASED MY 2008 NISSAN ALITMA BRAND NEW IN FLORIDA. THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. IT HAS CREATED A HORRIBLE GLARE AND IT INHIBITS MY VISION. NOT TO MENTION IT IS UNSIGHTLY AND IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN A STICKY, CRUMBLY SURFACE. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE COST AS I AM OUT OF MY WARRANTY. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1,000.00 OR EVEN $1.00 TO GET IT FIXED AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS LONG AGO. I MOVED TO KENTUCKY 3 YEARS AGO AND IT'S MELTING HERE ALSO.

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED WITH A MELTED DASHBOARD WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I CAN'T SEE WHEN THE SUN IS REFLECTING OFF THE MELTED (WET) DASHBOARD. MORE RECENTLY THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS EXPLODED AND IS CRACKED WITH THE INNER MATERIAL SHOWING. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULT IN THE MANUFACTURING, I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 2008 COUPE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT INTERFERES WITH THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY.

WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT MOSSY NISSAN, KEARNY MESA, CA. WAS INFORMED THE HEADGASKET(S) WERE LEAKING COOLANT. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ALTHOUGH MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE LEAK(S) WERE A COMMON AND PRE-EXISTING CONDITION. HE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT NISSAN USED THE INCORRECT HEAD GASKETS FOR THIS MODEL OF 3.5 V6 (FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VQ35HR TO BE SPECIFIC). ONCE NISSAN REALIZED THEIR MISTAKE, ALL SUBSEQUENT ENGINES RECEIVED THE CORRECT HEAD GASKETS AND THE LEAKAGE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY. I AM REQUESTING THAT NISSAN FORMALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE HEAD GASKET DEFECT AND EXTEND THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT EXPENSE. I AM UNSURE WHETHER THE NHTSA CAN HELP ME IN THIS CASE, BUT PERHAPS IF MY COMPLAINT CAN BE IN THE DATABASE, WE CAN GET MORE AFFECTED CONSUMERS TO SUBMIT SIMILAR HEAD GASKET DEFECT COMPLAINTS IN THE HOPES THAT NISSAN WILL BE FORCED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

I T-BONED ANOTHER CAR THAT HAD RUN A RED LIGHT. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL FOUND MULTIPULE CONTUSIONS, SPRAINS AND STRAINS TO MY CHEST WALL, LOWER BACK, NECK, HANDS AND WRISTS. MY PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR RAN ADDITIONAL TESTS, WHICH FOUND NO ADDITIONAL INJURIES EXCEPT, BOTH HANDS HAD A FRACTURE OF THE 3RD METACARPAL (THE BONE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HAND) AND A TEAR OF THE TFCC (TRIANGULAR FIBROCARTILAGE COMPLEX) IN BOTH WRISTS. WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WRISTS. SINCE THE INJURIES TO BOTH HANDS AND WRISTS ARE IDENTICAL AND NO OTHER BROKEN BONES OR SOFT TISSUE TEARS WERE FOUND ON MY BODY, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED TO FORCEFULLY CAUSING THESE INJURIES TO MY HANDS AND WRISTS. IF THE INJURIES TO MY HANDS AND WRISTS HAD BEEN CAUSED BY THEM HITTING PARTS OF THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, THE INJURIES TO MY HANDS AND WRISTS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER.

VEHICLE, IS MAKING A RUBBERISH NOISE IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN, BRAKES IN THE VEHICLE ARE RELATIVELY NEW AND WHEN REQUIRED TO A HARD BRAKE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND WELL. I HAD TO REFILL THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WITH A LITTLE BIT OF FLUID NOT MUCH. I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE LEACKING SMALL AMOUNTS OF FLUID TO THE BOOSTER OVER TIME, I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM SOMEONE ELSE KNOWN TO ME, SO I HAVE KNOWN THE CAR FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND ITS BEING HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR A WHILE NOW. I HAVE SEEN MANY THREADS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, WHICH MUST BE SOLVED WITH NISSAN. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM AT 53 000 MILES.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD!! IT IS STICKY TO TOUCH AND CREATES AN UNSAFE GLARE WHEN DRIVING WHICH HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE DASHBOARD MELTING THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT AGREE TO FIX IT NOR WOULD THEY ISSUE A RECALL TO PREVENT WHAT COULD EVENTUALLY BE A FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO WHAT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT ON THE RUBBERIZED MATERIAL USED ON THE DASHBOARDS. I AM LOOKING FOR HELP FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE AND THE NHTSA FOR HELP TO ENFORCE A RECALL TO PREVENT INJURY AND POSSIBLE FATALITIES DUE TO THIS MELTING DASHBOARD ISSUE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR FRONT SEAT PASSENGER INDICATES "AIRBAG IS OFF" WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. ADULT WEIGHS 125LBS. I HAVE TAKEN VIDEO OF THIS AS EVIDENCE.

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR SEAT POSSIBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE FOR AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN ACCIDENTS. NISSAN HAS BEEN NOTIFIED WITH CASE# 18895692, THEY ARE REVIEWING.

THE AIR BAG DIAGNOSIS SENSOR UNIT WILL MONITOR AND SHORTS IN DETECTED LINES TO THE FRONT RH SIDE BAG MODULE. REPLACE THE FRONT RH SEAT BACK ASSEMBLY.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE IS GIVING OFF A STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL, IS VERY STICKY TO THE TOUCH, AND IS SO SHINY THAT IT GENERATES AN INTENSE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT. THE WINDSHIELD GLARE IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD THAT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE -- IT USED TO BE THAT I COULD GET BY WITH WEARING SUNGLASSES BUT NOW THE GLARE IS SO INTENSE THAT EVEN WITH POLARIZED SUNGLASSES ON, I HAVE TO LEAN THIS WAY AND THAT IN ORDER TO SEE WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME. IF I WERE TO LOSE MY SUNGLASSES WHILE OUT AND ABOUT, I WOULD ABSOLUTELY BE UNABLE TO DRIVE UNTIL AFTER SUNSET. IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME AND EVERYONE ON THE ROAD TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITH SUCH BAD WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTION. ANY BUGS OR DEBRIS THAT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD THAT ARE MELTING INSTANTLY BECOME STUCK. IT LOOKS A LOT LIKE A TAR PIT AND IF YOU TOUCH IT, A TAR-LIKE SUBSTANCES COMES OFF AND IS VERY HARD TO REMOVE FROM YOUR SKIN. THE FUMES IT GIVES OFF ARE NAUSEATING AND SEEM TO MAKE THE WINDSHIELD FOGGY. WHEN TRYING TO CLEAN THE WEIRD CHEMICAL FOG OFF, I HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL NOT TO LET THE CLEANING RAGS TOUCH ANY PART OF THE DASH BECAUSE IT WILL LITERALLY PULL THE RAG APART, LEAVING BEHIND DISTRACTING PIECES OF CLOTH ALL OVER THE DASH. I ASKED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO HELP REMEDY MY SITUATION BUT THEY REFUSED TO HELP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY. IT SEEMS THAT AS TIME GOES ON AND THE WEATHER GETS HOTTER, THE DASHBOARD ONLY GETS WORSE AND WORSE. I CANNOT AFFORD

DASHBOARD MELTDOWN - CAUSING DANGEROUS GLARE WHEN DRIVING NISSAN STATES NOT APART OF RECALL? ?

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. AROUND 2013 I NOTICED THAT MY DASHBOARD STARTING MELTING. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN, DID EVERYTHING THEY REQUIRED ME TO DO TO OBTAIN A ESTIMATE FROM A LOCAL NISSAN ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE SINCE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN A PAGE ON FACEBOOK WITH THIS ISSUE. WHICH I WAS BLOCKED FROM BY NISSAN FOR COMPLAINING TOO MUCH. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A FAULTY MATERIAL ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME AND I AM AFRAID THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STILL DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET TO WORK. NOW 2015 THE DASHBOARD HAS GOTTEN SO BAD AND GLARES OFF OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ASSIST WITH THIS MATTER. THANK YOU

I AM ANOTHER VERY FRUSTRATED MELTING DASHBOARD OWNER AS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SOME TIME AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY(IF YOU LEAVE SOMETHING ON THE DASHBOARD FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME IT BECOMES STUCK). THE DASHBOARD IS ALSO SHINY AND PRODUCES A GLARE. WHEN YOU DRIVE INTO THE SUN. THE GLARE MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUMES AND POTENTIAL CARCINOGENS BEING OMITTED THAT MAY POSE ADDITIONAL HEALTH RISKS TO MYSELF AND PASSENGERS. I STOPPED BY MY LOCAL SOUTH FLORIDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS BASICALLY OUT OF LUCK AS IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY PROVIDED(?) BY NISSAN.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD NOISE AND LOST DRIVE, I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID GETTING RUN OVER BY A 18 WHEELER . I JUST MADE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER . I WAS RIGHT NEXT TO AN EXIT, THE MOTOR WOULD REV BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO MORE THE 5 MPH. NISSAN SAYS MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY I HAD TO PAY 3000.00 TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED.

DASHBOARD HAS MELTED. THE GLARE HAS BRICKS SO BAD THAT IT S A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN DRIVING IN DAYLIGHT. SUNLIGHT REFLECTS AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE TRAFFIC AHEAD.

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SHOWING A RESIDUE ON FRONT DASH ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. IT HAS WORSENED TO POINT WHERE A GLARE FROM SUNLIGHT REFLECTION DISRUPTS FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASHBOARD MELTING IN WARMER CLIMATES WITH HIGHER QUANTITY OF SUNLIGHT. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 ALTIMA WAS MELTING ESPECIALLY AROUND THE AIR VENTS. THERE'S ALSO A BURN SMELL COMING FROM THE SHINY AREA. IT'S BECOMING HARD TO SEE DURING THE DAY DUE TO GLARE FROM THE SHINY AREA. ALSO I DID NOTICE MY AC SYSTEM WAS MAKING STRANGE NOISES AND WOULD SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WHEN I TURNED IT ON. SOMETIMES IT BLOWS WARM AIR AND HAS COMPLETELY DIED RECENTLY. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO MENTIONED THAT HE'S NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE A MELTING DASHBOARD IN HIS 20+ YEARS OF REPAIRING CARS. HE RAN A DYE TEST ON THE AC AND STRANGELY THERE WAS NO FREON LEAK. HE HAD TO DRAIN ALL THE FREON SO THAT I CAN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF IN CASE I TRIED TO START THE AC. I WILL HAVE TO SPEND $1000 JUST FOR THE AC ALONE..... MECHANIC RECOMMENDED I CONSULT NISSAN REGARDING THE MELTING DASHBOARD. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHEN DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AT 20 MPH ON LOCAL ROADS, CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND AGAIN WHEN DRIVING AT 5 MPH IN A PARKING LOT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AFTER EACH EVENT. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO 3 SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS FOR EVALUATION BUT NO CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN DETERMINED. *TR

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S STARTED SHOWING A RESIDUE ON FRONT DASH ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. IT HAS WORSENED TO POINT WHERE A GLARE FROM SUNLIGHT REFLECTION DISRUPTS FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASHBOARD MELTING IN WARMER CLIMATES WITH HIGHER QUANTITY OF SUNLIGHT. I'VE RESEARCHED SOME OF THE REASONS WHY AND IT APPEARS IT IS DUE TO LOWER GRADE FORMULATION OF PLASTIC USED IN THIS MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER MANUFACTURERS. *TR
