The dashboard is deteriorating and has become very shiny. This creates glare on sunny days which degrades visibility to the point of being a safety concern. As evidenced by a class action suit it Florida, this issue is pervasive for this model. Toyota has already recalled their cars for a similar issue.

I have noticed that my dashboard is melting. There has not been any cleaning substance put on the dashboard. My car sits out in the sun as I do not have garage or carport. The glare from the dashboard creates a hazard as there is a glare while your are driving.

When driving on long and sometimes short trips, the air flow stops blowing, like a vent was closed. The blower fan motor is still working and the A/C is still working because it is still cold at the vent but there is no air flow.

The dashboard is melting. Started 3 years ago, was told by dealership repair shop to clean it. It has increased in size and nothing cleans it. The glare onto the window is terrible, dangerous. Has a strange smell to it.

My local service garage has located 2 holes in my exhaust system that allows fumes into the passenger compartment. The holes are a weld points. My mechanic thought that there was a warrenty recall. We repaired it once and will have to replace the whole exhaust this time.

- Ashtabula, OH, USA

The dashboard seems to be melting. The material is becoming sticky and can easily be peeled off, almost like playdough. Also in some areas it produces a glare and is very bothersome and if it continues to get worse will even become quite dangerous as it sort of blinds the driver to some degree.

Dashboard is cracking. Car has always been garage kept since new. Never sets outside during daytime in sun. Many other owners have same issue. Nissan denies there's any problem, won't do anything to help to fix the problem. Costs about $2000 to replace the dash. Happening mostly with 2008 & 2009 model years.

- Sebring, FL, USA

My dashboard has been melting for about two years and I cannot get Nissan to replace. I was told I need to pay to replace it for $1800. I feel this is faulty equipment and Nissan should stand behind their product and do the replacement. I live in tx and the glare it cause is very very dangerous when the sun is out and the sun is always out.

The factory sound system face plate is blistering. This may be caused by radio overheat or some type of short. The radio works fine

While driving my car, it started to make "grinding" movements and stopped moving while I was driving. I was lucky that I didn't crash. I'm filing this complaint because of the various problems I've had with this cvt transmission -- including wheezing noises and shifting problems and now complete transmission failure. Called Nissan they refuse to help because my car has 132K miles and their extended warranty only goes to 120K. I've only had this car for 5 years. It's only 8 years old. They instituted this extended warranty due to so many complaining about the problems with the cvt. But I'm over the warranty and now I'm on the hook for 4K in transmission repair. I feel this is unfair as I have maintained my vehicle.

" takata recall" my 2008 Nissan altiam dash is so sticky and cracking all the way down. I would really like for Nissan to replace it all with we parts!!!! it is hard to drive with the sun comimg in the widow hitting the dash. Please fix this for everyone. Also my car is always outside. Also I really love my car. I would hate to get away with it because of this.

Another melting dashboard; this time in North Alabama. It's starting from what I've seen in pictures the normal starting places, which is at the defrost air vents, the ledge between the instrument panel and defrost air vents (where the dash appears as a two piece comes together) and right above the three air vents. The glare it creates on my windshield is unbearable, and making visibility very poor.

Dash board is melting... causing extreme glare while driving.

My wife has a 2008 Nissan Altima she bought 5 years ago. I have noticed over the years the dash seems to be meting. I have tried cleaning it with a damp rag. This only makes the dash gummy and sticky. Even after I allow it to dry for a bit it remains sticky and dirty. She bought it 5 years ago for just under $19,000. I told her if we ever wanted to sell it we would lose big time. The car has every amenity; leather, moonroof, heated seats, bose sound, et cetera. It's very demoralizing actually. Also, part of the steering wheel is sticky and falling apart. The leather part on the steering wheel is fine. One more thing... I have a 2006 Nissan Altima and my dash is solid with no problems. We both have always lived in Mississippi. It gets hot and humid here but never had a problem like this with my 2006 Nissan dash or any other vehicle I have owned. I am 40 years old and have owned plenty. Example: A month ago I sold my 1994 Ford truck that has been sitting in the sun for 3 years. Dash had a few cracks which is normal but didn't melt. *2008 Nissan Altima is used everyday and properly maintained seems strange to me daniel
