2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING. CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE NEW. NEVER SETS OUTSIDE DURING DAYTIME IN SUN. MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN DENIES THERE'S ANY PROBLEM, WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. COSTS ABOUT $2000 TO REPLACE THE DASH. HAPPENING MOSTLY WITH 2008 & 2009 MODEL YEARS.

MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS AND I CANNOT GET NISSAN TO REPLACE. I WAS TOLD I NEED TO PAY TO REPLACE IT FOR $1800.00. I FEEL THIS IS FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND NISSAN SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DO THE REPLACEMENT. I LIVE IN TX AND THE GLARE IT CAUSE IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE SUN IS OUT AND THE SUN IS ALWAYS OUT.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NISSAN IS DOING TO CORRECT THE MELTING DASHBOARD ISSUE. MY DASHBOARD HAS A STICKY FILM ON IT WHICH CREATES AN EXTREMELY BAD GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD. IT MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE DURING THE DAY. RECENTLY I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE THE PERSON DUE TO THE GLARE THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CREATING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN AT FAULT IF I HIT THAT PERSON? THE POLICE WOULD HAVE BLAMED ME FOR THE ACCIDENT BUT THE TRUE CULPRIT IN MY EYES IS NISSAN BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOW THE HELL CAN NISSAN SAY IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T SEE WHILE DRIVING?!?

DASHBOARD HAS BLACK STICKY SUBSTANCE THAT REFLECTS A GLARE AND IS HARD TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE GLARE IS SO DISTRACTING AT TIMES THAT IT IS HARD TO SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND THAT THE AREA AFFECTED WILL CONTINUE TO GROW WHICH WILL SERVERLY AFFECT THE ABILITY TO SEE CLEARLY

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASH HAS BEEN MELTING FOR THE PAST 3-4 YEARS AND IS NOW CAUSING AN INABILITY TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS A LARGE REFLECTION ON THE WINDSHIELD DURING DAYTIME DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OBJECTS AND OTHER CARS IN FRONT OF ME. THE CORPORATE OFFICE AT NISSAN OFFERED 1/2 OFF THE PRICE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THE DANGERS THAT IT'S CAUSING FOR MANY DRIVERS.

DASHBOARD HAS OUTLINING LINES AROUND THE DEFROSTER THAT ARE TACKY OTHER SPOTS ON THE DASH ALSO WHAT GASES ARE BEING RELEASED FROM THIS MELTING DASHBOARD IS IT HARMFUL I CONTACTED NISSAN THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL SORRY IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY I NOTICED THE DAMAGE ABOUT A YEAR AGO SPRING OF 2015 IT IS GROWING SLOWLY ON MY DASH

DASHBOARD IN 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA APPEARS TO BE MELTING, BECOMING VERY STICKY AND CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. UNABLE TO CLEAN IT WITH ANYTHING, DUE TO THE GUMMY TEXTURE OF THE DASH. HAS A SHINY APPEARANCE TO IT AND GETS WORSE EVERY DAY. THIS IS CAUSING A PROBLEM WITH VISION ON BRIGHT SUNNY DAYS WHILE DRIVING. AFRAID AS IT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE HOW IT WILL AFFECT THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS INSIDE OF THE DASH AREA.

AFTER REPLACING MY TRANSMISSION, THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPUTTER ANYTIME I WAS DRIVING FOR MORE THAN A FEW MILES. MY MECHANIC FIGURED OUT THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS OVERHEATING TO ABOUT 600 DEGREES WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN NO MORE THAN 250 DEGREES, CAUSING PARTS OF THE ENGINE TO BEGIN MELTING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON TO ALERT ME OF THIS ISSUE, AND I MAY NOW HAVE PERMANENT ENGINE DAMAGE.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY ALTIMA STARTED MELTING AND CRACKING. NOW ITS SHINING IN MY VIEW AS IM DRIVING UNDER THE SUN. I GOTTA WEAR SHADES MOST OF THE TIME ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING WHEN MY EYES ARE STILL ADJUSTING. IVE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY WONT PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT DUE TO IT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. A NEW REPLACEMENT COSTS OVER 1000$.

BRAKES FELT AS IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON ALL THE TIME AND VEHICLE WOULD ONLY GO IN FIRST GEAR AND IF I LET OFF THE GAS THE CAR WOULD COME TO A HALT. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR MASTER CYLINDER CHANGEOUT. NISSAN CLAIMS MY VEHICLE ID WAS NOT A PART OF A KNOWN SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS VEHICLE 2007-2012. I THINK THIS MATTER WARRANTS FURTHER LOOKING INTO AS MY SON IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER
