2010 nissan altima coupe dashboard is melting. numerous complains are in online threads but nissan is not taking responsibility. this issue is expeirenced in years from 2008 to 2013. this is a severe safety hazard that needs to be resolved by nissan. only occurs in hot climate.

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.
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.
Car caught fire while driving...completely burned up

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 dash board is super sticky/tacky, and has a glare when driving, when trying to remove the front pieces with a pry tool, the dash peels off in chunks and remains stuck on your finger/ pry tool like a melted wax. it's not the same consistency as the glove box, you can stick your fingernail in it and it leaves intentions, my paint is also coming off in large spots all over the car.
The dashboard is melting and has a very bad glare when the sun is out. this causes vision to be very poor and unsafe to drive and other cars and pedestrian. it is very dangerous and difficult to see while driving due to the glare. the issue with the dashboard is the same as the lawsuit that was filed against nissan by a girard gibbs and nissan lost. but it was for 2008-2009 models. i took the car to nissan and the cost to replace the dashboard is $2634.
There is a oil smell coming through the air condition vent when the car is in motion especially when you are at a stop sign and when the heat is on.the smell is strong .the only time when the smell is not coming out is when the ac/heater is off or when i have the unit on circulation and ac on at the same time.it doesn't matter how far i travel the smell is there.the volume control of the ac/heater has a delay of coming on,.i want to know why is this car doing this ,it's a 2010 it also look like it has some water damage.
On 9/10/17 about noon while driving on the highway, the brake light on the dash board came on, pulled to the side of the road. while looking for service phone number, smelled something burning, exited the car, and almost immediately the engine compartment and then the car was engulfed in flames.
Noise coming from air conditioning system whether car in motion or still with air still cooling. dealer had never seen where air compressor was loose and only being held by belts. could have caused great issues in the engine compartment. replaced air compressor at a cost of over $1200.
Car will not start. battery is good. the key fail/malfunction signal keeps blinking. now car is stuck in on position from when i pushed the start button.
My dashboard on my 2010 nissan altima is melting/sticky and the gear handle is sticky and i've contacted the corporate office and was told there's nothing they can do for me. i was driving and there was a glare in the windshield! it's hard to see, it looks like the sun is shining directly into your eyes. this is an ongoing issue and this is truly a safety hazard and nissan does not care at all.
Dash is so melted and reflects sun so much it i cannot see while driving or stopped. there was a class action lawsuit for 2008 and 2009 altimas for this same defect. toyota recalled for their melted dashboard. nhtsa needs to care about our safety and recall altimas!
Dashboard melting , getting sticking and glaring on front glass when driving, is very unsafe and it need to be replace please by manufacturer
My dashboard has melted and it causes for the inside of the windshield to build a film. its difficult to clean and i have to clean i at least once a day. the glare off the melted dash makes it difficult for me to see outside. i have included some pictures of the damage.
The dashboard on my 2010 altima is melting. i have found many other owners complaining of this same problem and i believe there is a class action lawsuit in process for 2008 and 2009 models but have not found anything related to the 2010 model year. besides being unsightly and annoying as many parts of the dashboard are soft and permanently sticky it is also dangerous. in certain lighting conditions the glare on the windshield reflecting off the shiny melting areas is quite significant indicated this occurred on 3/1/15 as a date was required. obviously this has deteriorated over time and i am not the original owner.
The dash on the car is melted. there is a strong chemical smell in the car that we cannot get rid of and we are constantly having to clean the windshield during the summer months to remove a film that causes a horrible glare in the day and at night. the car was originally bought in texas but we live in oklahoma now. the problem started a few years ago but over time it has just gotten worse and now the dash is so sticky you cannot clean it other than vacuum the big pieces off.
Dashboard is melting and creating a glare on the windshield, sometimes making it difficult to drive.
At the dealership lot, the car was starting fine. as soon as we got home , the car would not start right away, sometimes it will take more than 30 minutes and one day my wife was stranded at a shopping center parking lot for hours before it started. since it's been parked at home for a whole week and half, the car won't start at all, the battery is brand new and i purchased it pre-owned without waranty. after doing some research, it looks like there's issues with the intelligent key and the wheels locking control system. in order to pay for the car, i have to go to work but the car is stopping me to make it to work.
The dashboard on my 2010 nissan altima is melting. it creates a glare on the inside of the windshield when i'm driving affecting my vision.
Dash board is melting. has become sticky and shinny causing a glare when sun hits it. this occurs from exposure to the sunlight.
Melted dash causing lack of visibility due to light reflects on driver. complaint filed with nissan and denied.
The dashboard is melting also with the sun light create a glare in windshield and block my view i thing is not safe because can haven anytime to driven special in afternoon when i driving nissan said is not a safety problem i don't agree somebody have to died and why toyota did a recall they have same problem. *tr
Several times over the past few months and everyday for the past week, the car will not start during ignition due to the inability to depress the brake. the only way to get it to start is to repeatedly hit the brakes while pressing the start button. it never consistently works but eventually starts. after starting, the abs, vdc, and slip warning lights are illuminated. there have been multiple reports of the same thing happening with this model from other owners. this poses a serious risk to health particularly in times where one may need to leave immediately. more often, it is an extreme inconvenience. the dealership service departments want to charge over $500 to repair something that is clearly defective and systematic. please do something about this as many altima owners are experiencing the same frustration that i have endured. *tr
As approaching a stop light, brakes were difficult to "grab" and too extra pressure. stop was rather slow, and anti-lock brakes appeared to kick in (by rough, staccato shaking typical of them applying). only by pressing down as hard as i could did i prevent smashing into the car ahead of me. dry, sunny florida conditions, no sand or slipping at all, just slow, odd braking. then the engine seemed to be revving a bit - faster idling than normal while at the stop light. we are not talking about speeding here, or sudden braking, just a normal approach to a known stop sign or light. this is a serious safety issue. this happened a couple times, then did not repeat for a couple months. then, when it did repeat, i asked the dealer about it. always at a stop light or stop sign, always in danger of smashing into the car ahead of me or entering too far into the intersection if i could not control the stop. they were completely puzzled, and could not duplicate it because, as i said, it is very sporadic. an ispection did not reveal anything. they laughed at me, saying it was totally impossible for the anti-lock brakes to kick in if there is no skidding. ok, so what was it then? it sure as heck seemed like anti-lock brakes! (i come from up north and have experienced anti-lock brakes kicking in on snow covered roads...) since the initial reoccurrence, it went several months, about six, with no issues or repeats, then just the other day, it did it again twice more. i suspect it could be something to do with computer controls, rather than the brakes themselves, but i am no mechanic.
A recall needs to be made for 2010 models on the altima due to melting dashes, everything gets stuck if something is placed on the dash. please replace dashes!
My 2010 nissan altima has had difficulty starting. all the electrical components would come on but the engine wouldn't turnover. at first i could get it to start after a few tries (i would pump the brakes, slam the car hood, bang on the steering wheel). then i noticed while driving the vds (traction control), abs and parking brake light would remain illuminated while driving. this meant that my vds was not functioning and as such i lost control of my car several times on wet surfaces. on 4/22/2014 i tried starting my car and could not. i had it towed to a nissan dealership (orr nissan in corinth texas) where the service manager informed me that it required a new brake light switch, harness and band hoses. he told me there was a nissan service bulletin as this was a "known issue". so much so that nissan had actually developed a more dependable brake switch. the service bulletin number is ntb10-139- which was released on november 23rd 2010. he told me to repair it was going to cost over 500.00. the faulty brake switch is a safety hazard as it causes the car to throw error codes which deactivates the traction control and abs. why has this not been a recall? why is a dealership charging 500 dollars to repair a malfunctioning component that shortly after the car was released, the manufacture acknowledged it was faulty? furthermore, based on my calculations the dealership is putting a 300% mark up on the parts required. why would the nhtsa wait until somebody dies in a crash caused by the vds and abs features not working before they force a recall/repair of this known issue? i am sending a copy of this to local and national news organizations. *tr
The front windshield has poor visibility when it is raining, although i have tried many things do not improve, the water stays in the glass in a way that i have not seen in any other vehicle. this has happened since left the agency, but i thought i could solve it with some product, but nothin
