2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING SEVERE GLARE FROM THE SUN WHICH IS CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE (CANNOT SEE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WITH GLARE PRESENT). *JS

I BOUGHT A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IN FLORIDA. I FIRST STARTED TO NOTICE MY DASHBOARD HAD A STICKY RESIDUE IN JULY 2011. IT HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE EVERYDAY. I HAVE ALSO BEGIN TO NOTICE MY DASHBOARD IS ALSO CRACKING. I KNOW THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. THE VISIBILITY HAS BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ROAD DUE TO THE GLARE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO LOOKED AT IF NOT RECALLED. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. WHEN I DRIVE, THE SUN HITS THE DASHBOARD. IT LOOKS LIKE A SHEET OF WATER BECAUSE IT IS MELTED. THE REFLECTION HITS MY EYES AND AFFECTS VISIBILITY. EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHES THE DASHBOARD GETS STICKY AND BLACK MARKS. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THIS RESOLVED WITH NISSAN, BUT THEY REFUSE TO COVER ALL OF THE COSTS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE HUGE LABOR COSTS AND I DO NOT FEE THAT I SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR A FACTORY DEFECT. THIS IS NOT ONLY COSMETIC, BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON THIS VEHICLE IS MELTING. THIS IS CAUSING A DANGEROUS GLARE WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS. A RECALL NEEDS TO OCCUR. *TR

WENT TO A SMOKE SHOP WENT BACK OUT AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START.. MY KEY YELLOW LOGO ON DASH IS ON SO I'M POSITIVE IT STEERING LOCK SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED!!!! *TR

I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND CAR, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY IT JUST GAVE OUT. IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT AS I HIT GAS IT WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGH SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED ENGINE OFF. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS, AND WAS TOLD I NEED WHOLE NEW MOTOR DUE TO THE FACT THE CAMSHAFT BROKE. NOW THIS IS A PART I AM BEING TOLD THAT SHOULD NOT BREAK AND IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WAS TOLD TO CHECK AND SEE IF ANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN PUT OUT ON CAMSHAFT. I DID AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN. I AM FILING COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I NOW HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET (EST. IS OVER $4,800!!!!) FOR REPAIRS DONE TO MY CAR FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKE IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND BY THE CAMSHAFT BREAKING IT CAUSED A LIST OF OTHER MAJOR DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE, WHICH IS WHY I NEED TO REPLACE IT! *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND IS NOW A SHINY STICKY BLACK SURFACE THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I DID NOT USE ANY CHEMICALS ON THE DASHBOARD BEFORE THIS STARTED APPEARING. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD EMITS GASES THAT FOG THE WINDOW AND CANNOT BE FIXED BY DEFROST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING WITH THIS STICKY SUBSTANCE THAT CAN'T BE WIPED OFF. IT IS SO BAD NOW THERE IS A TERRIBLE GLARE THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IT IS CAUSING A DANGEROUS GLARE WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS... *TR
