There's a facebook paged dedicated to this particular dash board issue. Take a moment to post your accounts on there. There's also a Nissan representative that posts responses on the facebook page as well. You might also consider filing your concern with the NHTSA as well. This issue is going to require widespread attention in order for Nissan to address the issue in a likewise manner.HoustonJill wrote:My 2008 Altima coupe also has a melting dash. I've contacted my local dealership and Nissan directly and they both told me there was nothing they could do to help me because the car is out of warranty. Are they not concerned at all that the glare from the shine is blinding and could cause an accident? It's a poor quality issue they should take responsibility for before someone is hurt or killed. This was my 4th Nissan and now last because of their unwillingness to correct a potentially dangerous flaw.
Have you taken your car to the dealership and asked them to replace the dash under a goodwill warranty? There's a facebook paged dedicated to this problem. Get on the page ASAP....there's also a Nissan Representative on the page as well. A little persistence on your end should get the dash replaced at no or a highly subsidized cost.Viper5000 wrote:I haven't posted in a while... but I am starting the get the melting dash
I live in Tallahassee, FL. Got my 2009 brand new Nov 2008. It is parked 50/50 in the shade/sun....
I DO NOT use anything to clean the dash other than a microfiber cloth with a little water occasionally. NO CHEMICALS, ever
This has definitely got to be an issue with these years and southern climates...
Your extended warranty will not cover a new dash. You will need to deal with Nissan directly to get your dash replaced under a good will warranty or due to this being a common safety issue.Viper5000 wrote:My extended warranty just ran out last month ...... They will definitely be fixing this weather they like it or not....

I'm really interested in helping you guys get this resolved. So far, from what I'm reading, mine is the ONLY one that they were willing to replace...?

I put them all in a spreadsheet listing them by complaint number, consumers city and state along with VIN number and the actual complaint they filed. to date there are 57 complaints all coming from Florida, Texas or California. If anyone has not filed a complaint, please do so. I don't know how many complaints it takes for the NHTSA it escalate this to an investigation? If anyone wants a copy of the spreadsheet or can help in getting this out, please respond. I'll upload the Excel file here if that can be done?
Here is the webpage to file complaints
