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…

Sometime in the fall of 2014 i noticed an area on the dashboard of my 2008 nissan altima was beginning to appear "sticky" looking. My first thought was that a drink may have been spilled on the dash when entering/exiting the vehicle and the lingering residue had formed a coating. When i got home i tried wiping the affected area of the dashboard with water on a rag. Quickly the rag became stuck to the dashboard…

Dashboard is melting in all over, the material in the dashboard is now very shiny and makes it difficult to see on a sunny day (it's florida). Dealership says car is out of warranty and there is no recall by nissan. This is a huge safety issue as it causes a reflection on my windshield severely impairing my visibility. *tr

The dashboard is melting on my 2008 nissan altima. I know first reports were back in 2009 and nothings been done about these dashboards. The dealerships (yes more then one) claim they are helping but i doubt it, if people are still complaining about it today in 2014 means nothings been done to help out the consumers. Melting dashboards can cause the airbags too go off when it gets to close, or even electrical issues…

Dashboard is melting!!!!! It is making the dashboard very shiny and it is so hard to see from the glare! I have had several "almost accidents" from not being able to see. Clearly this is a default in the material of the dash. I see several others are having the same problem! This needs to be recalled before someone is killed from this stupid default! *tr

Cars dashboard is melting. The dashboard is literally peeling off when touched. Sticky residue remains on the dashboard and it won't clean off. Whenever the sun is out, the shiny, sticky dashboard reflects onto the windshield causing a blinding glare. This glare almost caused accidents because of the limited visibilty. This problem needs to be fixed by nissan. *js
