The dashboard is defective and breaking down chemically. The chemical compound that the dashboard is made of is not resistant to sunlight causing it to crack break down and become very shiny. Not only does this admit harmful toxins that can be breathed in by the passengers, more dangerously it creates a glare on the windshield making it difficult to see through the window. This can impair vision resulting in an accident by the driver. In addition from what I understand the airbag is under this piece of equipment which is degrading and faulty.

While driving down the highway at about 60 mph the vehicle shut off and has not restarted in almost 2 weeks. There was no indication or warning of any engine trouble prior to it shutting off. Luckily, I was getting off an exit and nobody was injured. Had I NOT been exciting the highway, there would have most certainly been a MULTI vehicle accident with severe injuries and possibly even death because of the high speeds. Once the car was completely stopped and off towards the shoulder I tried to restart but got a fast clicking noise, but wouldn't start. Let the car sit for a little tried to jump start it, but now the key indicator was being displayed which means the car wasn't recognizing the key even in the slot. This leads me to believe the security system/ immobilizer could've been what caused it to shut off. The car has not been looked at yet. Still waiting for Nissan dealer to diagnose it.

An incident has not occurred yet, thankfully. The dashboard in my 2008 Nissan Altima is melting and causes a glare on the dash and a horrible smell in my car. This is a safety concern not only for myself but for everyone. When the sun hits the dash and causes a glare, the glare can impair my vision on the road. I had a close call and do not want another close call.

My 2008 Nissan Altima has a sticky dashboard. This causes a glare on the windshield while driving on a sunny day. I have read that Nissan has a recall in Florida only. What about other hot climate states!! I live in California, what gives.

The dashboard is actually melting and becoming sticky nothing is able to clean it this causes a very shiny reflection of the sun that bounces back on the windshield making it hard to see at times therefore being a hazard

My 2008 Nissan Altima coupe 2.5S' dashboard is melting giving off toxic fumes and making my visibility terrible while driving because the melting/sticky dashboard reflects into the windshield and Nissan refuses to fix it for free. The reflection in the windshield is particularly worse when driving towards the sun to the point where I cannot see anything while driving. I bought the vehicle with the dashboard like that because I figured that gooey gone could fix it but it didn't. again Nissan refuses to fix this problem and it is very dangerous while driving.

Melting dashboard, very sticky, everything sticks to it and the top layer (vinyl?) that is melting comes up when something sticks to it and is removed. The dash is very shiny, causing extreme glare on windshield. Glare very bad, lowers visibility, dangerous. The hotter the days, the stickier, more shiny this gets. Even when putting up a sunshade, the dash gets worse and worse. Photo taken on 9/7/2020 attached shows how bad glare is.

The dashboard in the car is melting

The dashboard is starting to melt. I thought it was just dirty, but in fact, when I tried cleaning it, a sticky glue type substance came up. This has become a safety hazard as the shiny glare shines on the windshield making it hard to see. I did a basic search on the internet to find out that this is a common issue with my vehicle.

My dashboard is melting and it has gotten worse within the last two (2) years. I have trouble seeing the road when it is sunny because I get a big glare in the windshield due to the reflection of the melting dashboard. Also, I noticed I have been getting dizzy, upper respiratory problems and headaches right after I get in the car when it has been parked in the sun, despite a car window shield I put on it to protect it from the sun.

Top of dashboard has been melting. It creates a bad glare in the windshield due to the shiny nature of the areas where the dashboard has deteriorated. This is very dangerous when driving! I can't be the only 2008 Altima owner in NY with this issue. A class action lawsuit was settled a few years ago in Florida for this same issue with this same car. I need this piece replaced and the cost to be covered by Nissan because they installed materials that are unsafe because they do not hold up.

Not a single event... dashboard has progressively gotten softer/stickier over the past few years. It is now cracked and is melting next to the windshield. It has off-gassed an unremovable film on the bottom half of the glass, and the car has such a noxious smell from the fumes we no longer feel it's healthy to drive without the windows down.

The dashboard has begun to melt and the glare is very distracting. It is very sticky and gets worse at the weather get warmer.

- Albertville, AL, USA

The dashboard is melted. It has been getting worse over the years. It is a safety hazard so I can no longer drive the car. Nissan refuses to replace it. I have tried multiple times. It is stationary for now. The car also has a foul odor from the melted dash.

- Lawrenceville, GA, USA

When I get into the car and push the start button, the car turns on but the ready is not signaling and the car doesn't move. The car was driving perfectly the day before and now the car won't move. There also a weird buzzing type sound when I press the break.
