All 4 of my door actuators are suddenly not working. This is safety hazard. Nissan needs to look into this issue with a possible recall. All 4 should not go bad at once.

My dashboard appears to be melting and is sticky to the touch. I have contacted nissan they show no concern as to the dash board melting or any resolve to remedy the issue. It causes a bad glare especially when driving into the sunlight. I feel this is a manufacturer defect in materials.

The back doors of these cars are taking in water when it rains or when you go to car wash.. As you drive you could hear the water sloshing in the doors. You have to actually open the door and use your hands by picking the rubber at the bottom of the doors to let the water out. Then it gushes out like an open faucet.

The hood flew up, damaging the windshield, roof, hood, fenders and hood hinges. This is…
