My car has a sticky,clear substance all over it from where the vents are to the windshield. It is dangerous because it causes a glare and when the sun is out especially it is extremely hard to see. I have tried everything to get it off and nothing is working. I didn't spill anything on it either for it to be this way. It just started happening.

The front dashboard is melting and very sticky to the touch. A glare results on the windshield during sunny days, which is an extreme hazard. I can't see large portions of what's in front of me due to the glare. This issue is well documented on the web and needs to be addressed by nissan.

The dashboard in my car is slowly breaking down. The composition of the materials has degraded, over time, so bad that it has lost its surface texture in areas and is now smooth and highly shiny/reflective. The sun is now reflected on to my window shield and i am completely blinded and unable to see the road, pedestrians and cars in front of me.

My driver's side door is not locking with the key fob. This allows anyone to open my door, but it does set off my alarm. My car has been broken into twice while parked in a secured access garage because they are able to open the door, snatch and grab. I read online that this is a safety issue because drivers should be able to lock their doors.
