I have been having stalling issues with the cvt transmission in my car for over a year. Took it to the nissan dealership here where i live on 12/17 for the issue only received a change of fluid no error codes. Spent almost 300.00 that day. Took it back again on 1/18 for the same issue, not even a month apart. Was told that from the video i showed the nissan worker it was my transmission going bad. I had to pay…

My dashboard is melting. You can't put anything on it or even touch it without getting a very sticky residue on your hands. It is also a major hazard when it is sunny out. When the sun hits the melting part of the dash, i am blinded. Nissan needs to do the right thing & replace these dashboards. I know i'm not the only one having issues.apparently everyone driving this car in the southern states is having this issue.

My 2010 nissan altima has a "melting" dash, particularly around the defroster area. It is sticky in other parts of dash on sides and where it is molded. This problem has been reported on nbc5 in dallas, tx in the month of july for 2008-2009 models. To my surprise, my 2010 has same issue. I took car to dealer and they said they have seen lots altima's with the same problem and nothing could be done except…

My dash board is super sticky/tacky, and has a glare when driving, when trying to remove the front pieces with a pry tool, the dash peels off in chunks and remains stuck on your finger/ pry tool like a melted wax. It's not the same consistency as the glove box, you can stick your fingernail in it and it leaves intentions, my paint is also coming off in large spots all over the car.

The dashboard is melting and has a very bad glare when the sun is out. This causes vision to be very poor and unsafe to drive and other cars and pedestrian. It is very dangerous and difficult to see while driving due to the glare. The issue with the dashboard is the same as the lawsuit that was filed against nissan by a girard gibbs and nissan lost. But it was for 2008-2009 models. I took the car to nissan and the…

Noise coming from air conditioning system whether car in motion or still with air still cooling. Dealer had never seen where air compressor was loose and only being held by belts. Could have caused great issues in the engine compartment. Replaced air compressor at a cost of over $1200.

My dashboard on my 2010 nissan altima is melting/sticky and the gear handle is sticky and i've contacted the corporate office and was told there's nothing they can do for me. I was driving and there was a glare in the windshield! It's hard to see, it looks like the sun is shining directly into your eyes. This is an ongoing issue and this is truly a safety hazard and nissan does not care at all.

The dashboard on my 2010 altima is melting. I have found many other owners complaining of this same problem and i believe there is a class action lawsuit in process for 2008 and 2009 models but have not found anything related to the 2010 model year. Besides being unsightly and annoying as many parts of the dashboard are soft and permanently sticky it is also dangerous. In certain lighting conditions the glare on the…
