I own a 2008 nissan altima (vin# [xxx]). I have to two questions for you: 1) why has there not been a recall on the dashboards towards their stickiness & melting? Especially since toyota recalled theirs because of that. 2) why has there not been a recall on the tpms? It stays on all the time. With it on all the time, how are supposed to tell when the air is low. If i turn it off, it won't come back on even when the…

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…

My dashboard is producing a sticky substance. Dealer tells me the substance is glue because the dash is melting. Nissan will not help in anyway even though the car has impeccable service records. I am concerned the substance creates a glare on the windshield which becomes a safety concern and i am also very concerned as to what we are inhaling while in the vehicle. These vehicles need to be recalled for faulty parts…

I'm another frustrated melting dashboard owner. Sticky, partially shiny and glare-producing. When driving in the sun the glare is a definite safety hazard. Also, concerned about the fumes and potential carcinogens being omitted that may pose additional health risks. Nissan is not standing behind this defect despite hundreds of complaints and accidents reported. *tr

Dash board is very sticky. Have called the dealer but they don't seem to care. Invested too much $$ for this to happen with no one taking credit and wanting to fix it. The glare is becoming an issue (esp living in the south where the sun shines brightly) your help is greatly appreciated. *tr

The dashboard of our 2008 nissan altima has begun to melt causing it to become very shiny and reflect sunlight directly into the driver's eyes or reflect off of the windshield causing it very difficult to see. The worst thing about it is that is hits you when you least expect it based on the angle of the sun and causing difficulty seeing other traffic/pedestrians. *tr

The dashboard of my altima is also getting sticky and the glare is a safety issue. I'm not sure if you have ever tried driving with something like a mirror reflecting a bright light in your eyes, but its an issue. It makes it impossible to see things in a lot of cases; like anytime the sun is out. I almost hit a child today on the way to school because the glare was directly in my eyes and it happened all of a…
