My 2011 nissan altima has a melted dashboard and the clear coat is coming off. Most importantly, there is a terrible glare from the damaged dashboard and it is a major safety hazard. See the attached pictures. I contacted nissan nat'l and they said it was out of warranty, but they would help me.

The dashboard on my 2011 nissan altima is melting. This has been an ongoing problem for months. The melting areas become soft, sticky, cracked and shiny. If the dashboard is not replaced the glare created by the shiny areas will make the car hazardous to drive and the melting will ultimately damage the equipment covered by the dashboard - equipment the car needs to operate safely and equipment the dashboard is…

The vehicle was having a hard time getting past 2nd gear being told it was an electrical misfire and causing the car to jerk until it was able to hit 2nd. That was repaired by our local auto repair shop. The other issue is the dashboard. The dashboard is literally melting away and has become slimy and sticky. It is working it's way down to the steering wheel area and air vents. I'm sure that is some sort of hazard.

1) when accelerating from s stop, my car will jerk (like the transmission is slipping). It will often jerk while my car is in motion as well. This happens on city streets & freeways/highways. 2) there is also an issue with the "hood latch" not locking completely. It sometimes looks like the hood is going to pop open when driving .

I was driving on the tollway and i heard a loud noise as if someone had pulled the hood release and saw that my hood was fluttering up and down. When i came to a stop, my hood had in fact popped open and i had to slam the hood back shut. Fortunately it did not pop open fully to where it was against my windshield and blocking my view. I think there may be a problem with the hood latch.

The dash on my 2011 nissan altima is starting to melt and get very sticky. A bad glare is starting to appear in my windshield making it hard to see while driving. I cannot clean the dash because anything it touches sticks to the dash. I contacted nissan headquarters and they cannot help me replace it unless i pay for the dash. This is not safe!

I was in a bumper to bumper accident and the front end of my car was smooched in. My chest hit the steering wheel (my seat belt was buckled) knocking the air out of me, but my airbags did not deploy. We have taken our car into the dealership several times to complain about the passenger airbag sensor. Every time we get it back we get the same answer "we don't see anything wrong with the sensor". We recently took our…
