WHILE MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN WERE DRIVING THROUGH ELY, NV ON THEIR WAY TO THE LAKE, 300+ MILES FROM HOME THE CAR BEGAN TO SMOKE. UPON PULLING THE RELEASE TO POP THE HOOD, THE CAR BURST INTO FLAMES. MY FAMILY ESCAPED THE VEHICLE INJURY FREE. MY CAR IS NOW A PILE OF MELTED METAL. SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS HAPPENS? AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? I HAD A YEAR LEFT TO PAY ON THIS VEHICLE AND BARELY 120,000 MILES. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? HOW DO I REPLACE MY VEHICLE? PLEASE HELP. *TR

DASHBOARD APPEARS TO BE MELTING. IT IS STICKY AND SHINY AND PIECES LIFT OFF WITH ANYTHING THAT IS PLACED ON THE DASH. THE EFFECT CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT GLARE IN THE SUNLIGHT THAT AFFECTS DRIVER LINE OF SIGHT. DETERIORATION HAS ALSO CAUSED MULTIPLE CRACKS IN DASH SURFACE THAT MAY POTENTIALLY AFFECT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT LOCATED INSIDE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FAILED. THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

DASH IS STICKY AND CONTINUING TO COVER THE AREA.IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING LARGER EACH DAY.IT IS VERY BLINDING TO DRIVE IN SUNLIGHT. *TR

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND SOFT TO THE TOUCH AND STICKY. I'M AWARE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS GETTING WORST! I'M AWARE THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT WILL BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND WIFE THAT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHO TO SPEAK TO; I'M LOOKING TO SEE IF NISSAN WILL BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND PAYING FOR REPLACING MY DASHBOARD. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

IT ALL STARTED A COUPLE MONTHS PRIOR WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND I COULD NOT FIND A LEAK OR FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEN I NOTICED THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING JUST COULDN'T FIND WHERE. WE REALIZED IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER AND REPLACED THAT AS WELL AS THE BOOSTER BOX (WHERE IT WAS LEAKING.) THAT MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAULTY AND WE HAD IT REPLACED AGAIN. IN MARCH I WAS DRIVING 12 HOURS BACK TO MY HOMETOWN FOR VACATION AFTER BEING TOLD MY CAR WAS OKAY AND MID TRIP I LOST MY BRAKES GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY TOWN USING THE LITTLE BRAKE I HAD LEFT SINCE THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. THE SHOP THEN DOES MY PADS, CALIPERS, ROTORS THINKING THAT IS THE ISSUE SEEING AS I'VE BEEN THROUGH 2 MASTER CYLINDERS; THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM IT WAS ANOTHER FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER. THAT FINALLY WAS REPLACED AND SO FAR SO GOOD. THANKFULLY NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME BUT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A BAD ACCIDENT. I ALSO CALLED NISSAN TO BE REIMBURSED LIKE THE CAMPAIGN SAYS AND WAS DENIED. EVERYTHING ABOUT MY SITUATION FITS THE CAMPAIGN AND SEEING AS THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE I SHOULD AT LEAST BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA AND ITS DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS PHENOMENON IS SIMPLY EMBARRASSING FOR A GOOD COMPANY SUCH NISSAN. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 08 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, BUT HAS GOT ALOT WORSE OVER TIME. IT BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING DURING THE DAY, BECAUSE IT PUTS OFF A BLINDING GLARE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THE DASHBOARD SHOULD NOT BE MELTING AT ALL!! *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING ON TOP NEAR THE STEERING WHEEL AND ALSO NEAR WHERE THE DEFROST VENTS ARE. *TR
