2010 Nissan Altima

MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A "MELTING" DASH, PARTICULARLY AROUND THE DEFROSTER AREA. IT IS STICKY IN OTHER PARTS OF DASH ON SIDES AND WHERE IT IS MOLDED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NBC5 IN DALLAS, TX IN THE MONTH OF JULY FOR 2008-2009 MODELS. TO MY SURPRISE, MY 2010 HAS SAME ISSUE. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN LOTS ALTIMA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE EXCEPT REPLACEMENT, OVER $1000 DOLLARS. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR (SINCE 2014) AND FEEL IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY NISSAN SINCE IT IS CAUSED BY THEM USING A SUB STANDARD MATERIAL. THIS CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN MISSISSIPPI ACCORDING TO NISSAN. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CONTINUES TO DISINTEGRATE IN HIGH HEAT. CANNOT PARK IN SUN & CAN'T PUT SUN SCREEN UP WHERE MELTED, IT STICKS & MAKES PERMANENT MARKS IN DASH. SINCE IT APPEARS SHINY IT GIVES OFF A GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A FIX. THIS IS MY SECOND ALTIMA AND IT DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE! I CAN PROVIDE PHOTO ON REQUEST.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. YOU CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ON IT OR EVEN TOUCH IT WITHOUT GETTING A VERY STICKY RESIDUE ON YOUR HANDS. IT IS ALSO A MAJOR HAZARD WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUT. WHEN THE SUN HITS THE MELTING PART OF THE DASH, I AM BLINDED. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING & REPLACE THESE DASHBOARDS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING ISSUES.APPARENTLY EVERYONE DRIVING THIS CAR IN THE SOUTHERN STATES IS HAVING THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING STALLING ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HERE WHERE I LIVE ON 12/17 FOR THE ISSUE ONLY RECEIVED A CHANGE OF FLUID NO ERROR CODES. SPENT ALMOST 300.00 THAT DAY. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN ON 1/18 FOR THE SAME ISSUE, NOT EVEN A MONTH APART. WAS TOLD THAT FROM THE VIDEO I SHOWED THE NISSAN WORKER IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION GOING BAD. I HAD TO PAY 110.00 TO HOOK IT UP TO THE MACHINE THIS DAY. AFTER LEAVING MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HONOR THE 120,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR PULL ANY ERROR CODES. THEY PERFORMED AN UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY STATED WAS NEEDED AND THAT "SHOULD" FIX THE ISSUE. FAST FORWARD TO 11/3/18 LESS THAN 3000 MILES LATER IT'S STALLING AGAIN AND WON'T GO PAST 5 MPH WITH THE GAS PADDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON A FLAT SURFACE STREET. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME AND IT WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL OF THIS AND HAVE VIDEOS TO PROVE EVERYTHING THAT I SPEAK OF. THERE WAS A TIME WHERE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN TO 50 AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO TRY TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY 18 WHEELERS ZOOMING PAST ME. THAT IN ITSELF IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR ME.
