Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Since 2018 to present day. I been having difficulties with the visibility from my front windshield at sunny days. The dashboard has this sticky substance that make the dashboard really shinny, and reflect the sun light on the windshield, blocking the view and make it hard to see the road and vehicles. I had to use sunglasses to block this issue, but in some cases this will not improved and can make it worst. I had couple of near miss, and I have to stop driving my car at times to avoid this issue.
DASHBOARD SEEMS TO BE MELTING/ GETS EXTREMELY HOT AND AS A RESULT IS STICKY.
CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. MOVED OUT OF GEAR ON ITS OWN ROLLED ACROSS STREET CRASHED INTO CAR IN ANOTHER DRIVEWAY.
MY SUNROOF SHATTERED ON SUNDAY, JUNE 03 AT 12PM WHILE I WAS DRIVING EAST BOUND TOWARDS CHICAGO ON 290 HIGHWAY. I WAS DRIVING AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE AND MY SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED. THE ROAD WAS CLEAR AND THERE WEREN'T MANY CARS AROUND ME. LUCKILY, I WASN'T INJURED. I HAVE ALREADY CHECKED WITH SEVERAL BODY SHOPS YESTERDAY, AND THE COST IS OVER $1000 TO FIX MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF. I ALSO REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CORPORATE, AND REPORTED THIS ISSUE. THE CASE NUMBER IS 31546264 AND I SPOKE WITH BARBARA, BADGE#7319182. SHE CALLED ME, 6/5/18 AT 10:34AM AND TOLD ME NISSAN WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE SINCE THERE'S NO SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE. I TOLD HER I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE AND SHE ASKED ME TO SEND IT TO HER FOR REVIEW. I FIND IT STRANGE THAT SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY PHOTOS OR EVIDENCE YESTERDAY WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT THE INCIDENT.
