MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS NOT LOCKING WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS ALLOWS ANYONE TO OPEN MY DOOR, BUT IT DOES SET OFF MY ALARM. MY CAR HAS BEEN BROKEN INTO TWICE WHILE PARKED IN A SECURED ACCESS GARAGE BECAUSE THEY ARE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR, SNATCH AND GRAB. I READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE DRIVERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO LOCK THEIR DOORS.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING WHICH IS CAUSING SEVERE VISIBILITY ISSUES. I AM HAVING TO LEAN OUT OF THE WAY IN ORDER TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD, AND I TRY TO AVOID BEING IN MY CAR AS I AM SEVERELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS IT IS PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING WORSE

CURRENTLY, I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND AM AN OWNER OF 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS CAR IS USUALLY IN THE GARAGE AND RARELY IS IMPACTED BY THE SUN. I HAVE NOTICED IN THE LAST WEEK 3 CRACKS APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY STATED TO ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THEN LOOKED ON LINE AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH ALTIMA'S IN THE YEARS OF 2008 AND 2009. NISSAN KNOW S THAT THERE DASHBOARDS WERE MADE WITH A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE HUMIDITY OF FLORIDA. THE LAWSUIT HAD COME AND PAST. I WAS 6 MONTHS FROM THE DEADLINE OF APRIL 29TH 2017. THE ISSUE THOUGH WITH THIS DASHBOARD IS A VISABILITY WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SHINES FROM THE GLARE OF THE SUN WHICH IMPEDES DRIVING.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND SEPARATING, AND IT HAS A CAUSTIC SMELL. I'VE BROUGHT IT INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DID INDEED CONFIRM THAT MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING, HAS AN ODOR AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I HAVE ACTUALLY PUT MY FINGERNAIL INTO THE MELTING DASH BY ACCIDENT AND IT HAS LEFT A MARK! I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY CAR, INCLUDING KEEPING IT QUITE CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT . I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH NISSAN VIA EMAIL AND PHONE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY 2008 ALTIMA SE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND WAS GIVEN AN "OH WELL, NOT OUR PROBLEM" TYPE OF ATTITUDE AND RESPONSE. I AM BEYOND CONCERNED SINCE THE DASH IS DEGRADING AND SHINY CAUSING DECREASED VISIBILITY DUE TO A GLARE. MY GREATEST FEAR IS THAT THIS MELTING DASHBOARD WILL EFFECT THE MECHANICS OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN AN ACCIDENT, AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONICS THAT THE DASHBOARD PROTECTS. I AM DISMAYED THAT NISSAN CAN TREAT CUSTOMERS WITH LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUES WITH A CARTE BLANCHE OR LAISSEZ-FAIRE ATTITUDE. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN FLORIDA BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD MELTING AFFECTED SO MANY ALTIMAS! COMPLAINTS ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FLORIDA CLASS ACTION SUIT, THERE ARE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS IN MULTIPLE STATES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MATERIALS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT MEANT TO LAST ANY CAR OWNER MORE THAN A FEW YEARS. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND ANY PASSENGERS IN MY CAR! MY CAR HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS WELL MAINTAINED. I TAKE IT IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND OTHER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE; NO CONSUMER SHOULD EVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A MELTING DASHBOARD NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE CAR, OR HAVE MATERIALS IN IT THAT DEGRADE TO THE POINT THAT IT CAUSES MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES FOR ANY PERSON RIDING IN THAT VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MAJOR RECALL ON THE 2008 ALTIMA, OR ANY NISSAN MADE WITH THIS DEFECTIVE, FAULTY MATERIAL. THIS IS HAZARDOUS TO ONE AND ALL.

SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN 2014, THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY MELTING AND CRACKING TO THE POINT WHERE THE GLARE FROM THE BLACK MELTED DASHBOARD HAS SEVERELY DECREASED VISIBILITY. ADDITINALLY, AS MORE CRACKS HAVE APPEARED THE CAR NO LONGER RECOGNIZES WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SHOWS THE AIRBAG AS 'OFF.'
Other or unspecified, Oct 1, 2017
THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A GLOSSY REFLECTIVE SHEEN THAT PRODUCES A HAZARDOUS GLARE WHICH GREATLY REDUCES VISIBILITY ESPECIALLY ON SUNNY DAYS.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD IS BEGINNING TO MELT AND DETERIORATE CREATING A GLARE WHEN DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING.
Other or unspecified, Sep 3, 2017
DASH MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT MELTED AND BECOME SHINY, STICKY, AND REFLECTIVE WHEN EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT. THIS IS A DRIVING AND SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE REFECTION ON WIND SHIELD, VISION IS SEVERELY IMPAIRED. I CONTACT NISSAN AND THEY USED "PASSED WARRANTY" EXCUSE; EVEN AFTER I EXPLAINED IT HAPPEN YEARS AGO AND WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. WAS TOLD BY DEALER I PURCHASED CAR TO "CONTACT NISSAN". I DID, AND THEY ADVISED THAT WAS NOT COVERED.

AT AROUND 11:50 PM MONDAY AUGUST 21, 2017 MY SON PARKED HIS NISSAN ALTIMA ON RESIDENTIAL STREET IN FRONT OF A FRIENDS HOUSE WHILE HE RAN IN FOR A BIT BEFORE HEADING HOME, ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER 2 LOUD "POPS" RATTLED THE HOME. THEY STEPPED OUT FRONT TO FIND THAT HIS 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES 20-30 FEET HIGH. AT 00:11 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND WORKED TO EXTINGUISHED THE CAR, FINALLY FINDING IT SAFE TO LEAVE AT 01:17. THEY CAR IS OBVIOUSLY A TOTAL LOSS. I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THIS RANDOM "EXPLOSION" OF THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NO OTHER STRUCTURES WERE DAMAGED (POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CITY ROAD), THIS VERY WELL COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DEVASTATING OUTCOME.
Other or unspecified, Aug 22, 2017
JUST LIKE MANY CUSTOMERS IN FLORIDA. WE IN TEXAS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH OUT DASHBOARD MELTING ON OUR 2008 NISSAN ALTIMAS. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THE ONLY CUSTOMERS IN FLORIDA WERE OFFER REPLACEMENT AND NOT CUSTOMERS IN OTHER STATES LIKE TEXAS.

GLUE IS BLEEDING THRU THE DASH ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT IS CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT HARD TO SEE, SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO LEAN OVER TO FIND A SPOT THAT DOES NOT AFFECT MY VISION OF THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF OR COMING TOWARDS ME. THIS IS A ROAD HAZARD AND LEFT UNATTENDED WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A WRECK. I ALSO HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER PROBLEMS, THE FRONT SEATS ARE LOOSE AND SLID WHEN I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKESFEEL AND I AM NOT AT ALL COMFORTABLE THAT IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT THIS WOULD ATTRIBUTE TO ADDITIONAL INJURY. ALSO, I HAVE HAD THE LOW TIRE SCENSOR REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE TO ONLY HAVE IT COME BACK ON AT WHICH TIME I FOUND OUT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR MODEL, WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE HAD THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, INSTEAD OF TAKING MY MONEY. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT ALL THREE OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE ARE KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY REPORTED TO NISSAN ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY ARE NOT RECALLS AND ARE EXTREMELY HIGH IN COST OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO THEM FOR TWO YEARS TO NO AVAIL. THEY SENT ME TO A DEALER IN TOWN AT ONE POINT WHO REITERATED TO ME VERBATIM WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THEM ONLINE AFTER HE GAVE THE DASH A QUICK LOOK. I LIVE IN LOUISIANA, I TRAVEL TO TEXAS SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR. THAT IS WHEN THE PROBLEM WITH THE DASH STARTED. NO WAY TO CLEAN, IT IS ONE BIG STICKY MESS AND ONLY GETTING WORSE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THEY WERE HAPPY TO TAKE MY MONEY, THE LEAST THEY COULD DO IS FIX KNOWN PROBLEMS. TOYOTA RECALLED ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME BLEEDING GLUE DASH PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD BE AS FORTHCOMING WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS, WON'T BUY ANOTHER, WILL SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE RESALE VALUE OF THIS ONE. SHAME ON NISSAN! MY FORMAL COMPLAINT SIGNED, SEALED AND DELIVERED!

MY VEHICLES DASH IS MELTING AND IT CRATES AREAS THAT HAVE A VERY DANGEROUS GLARE WHEN DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT. THE DASH HAS ALSO BECOME EXTREMELY STICKY AND HARD TO CLEAN. THE REAL ISSUE IS IN THE GLARE AS IT CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. UNFORTUNATELY THE DASH WAS ALREADY LIKE THIS WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE SO I AM UNAWARE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2008 MELTING DASHBOARD. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING; THEREBY, CREATING A DANGEROUS, HAZARDOUS GLARE ON THE FRONT WINDOW.
Other or unspecified, Jul 10, 2017
THE DASH IS MELTING, AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS, FORMING SOME KIND OF STICKY, SHINY RESIDUE. THIS RESIDUE CAUSES THE DASH TO REFLECT OFF THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING, CREATING A GLARE ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT IS DANGER TO ALL.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD DUE TO USE OF LOW QUALITY MATERIALS. WHEN THE DASHBOARDS BECOME EXPOSED TO HEAT AND SUNLIGHT IT CONVERTS INTO A VICIOUS, STICKY AND REFLECTIVE SURFACE THAT PROJECTS A GLARE ONTO WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW, THUS ENDANGERING EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MISSOURI BUT CAME SPECIAL ORDER FROM TEXAS ACCORDING TO MY SALESMAN. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED AND SETTLED IN FLORIDA BECAUSE OF THIS REASON, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR INFERIOR QUALITY PRODUCT FOR THOSE LIVING OUTSIDE OF FL STATING THESE ARE ISOLATED INCIDENTS.

STICKY,MELTING SHINY DASH AND COMING APART AT SEAMS. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ON THIS AND I REPORTED IT ON 5/31/2017 . THIS WAS CONFIRMED AT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. BUT BECAUSE I LIVE 0.8 OF A MILE INTO GA THEY WILL NOT COVER THESE DAMAGES. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT IN FL. AND I WORK IN FL. DAILY. AM GOING TO TAKE THIS UP WITH BBB.I REPORTED THIS TO NHTSA. GOV SEVERAL MONTHS BACK AND NEVER HEARD A WORD FROM THIS COMPANY AND UPLOAED PHOTOS IN MARCH WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED TO HAPPEN TO DASH

DASH PAD, WHICH ALSO COVERS THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOW CRACKED, AND IS STICKY. I KNOW THAT NISSAN SETTLED WITH FLORIDA RESIDENTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, OTHER CARS ARE AFFECTED. IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS, WE HAVE JUST AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE HEAT THAT SEEMS TO BE CAUSING FAILURE OF THE DASH COVER. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, AS SINCE IT IS CRACKED AND STICKY, WE DO NOT KNOW IF WE WILL BE PROPERLY PROTECTED WITH THE AIR BAG SHOULD WE HAVE A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, NOT JUST COSMETIC, AND ALL CARS SHOULD BE INCLUDED, NOT JUST FLORIDA. PLEASE REVIEW THIS ISSUE, AND GET ALL OF US COVERED.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA'S DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE ENTIRE DASH IS MELTING LEAVING A BRIGHT STICKY SUBSTANCE THAT WILL NOT COME OFF WHEN I TRY TO CLEAN IT. THIS IS NOT JUST A COSMETIC ISSUE. THE MELTING DASH LEAVES A MASSIVE GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING TOWARD ANY SUNLIGHT. I AM BLINDED BY THE REFLECTION EVERY TIME THE SUN IS OUT. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE. I HAVE SEEM HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THE STATE OF FLORIDA ALREADY HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED WITH NISSAN IN JANUARY ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED! I DONT KNOW THE EXACT DATE THAT I NOTICED THE ISSUE BUT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED FOR A WHILE NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AS WELL AS THE LAWFIRM ASSOCIATED WITH THE LAWSUIT IN FLORIDA. NOBODY WILL HELP ME AND I KNOW THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE JUST LIKE ME. JUST GOOGLE MELTING DASH NISSAN ALTIMA...
