The owners and or sellers of this dangerous and life threatening vehicle that was sold to me knowing that the car was in extremely bad condition. These criminals sold me the vehicle knowing that it was not smog cleared or approved. They sold me a fatal accident waiting to o happen! They intentionally modified the odometer/mileage to 85k/95k... But when I ran a check on car fax, it clearly showed that this vehicle was 206,851 miles of wear and tear to engine. The break system almost killed me on the freeway and made me lose control and forcefully made me spin out of driving control for 3 full spins in the middle of the freeway, bu the grace of god, I missed all incoming traffic.

My 2007 nissan altima dashboard is all cracked. The cracks run along the seams and also started cracking everywhere just out of no where. I took it to the nissan dealer in pembroke pines. They took a report and told me that someone would get back to me. I tried to tell him the story and he said he knew what to write. A few days later a lady called me and told me it was out of warranty and there is nothing they would do for me. It is the heat. I keep my car under my carport in the shade whenever I am at home when I go to work it is parked in the shade in the parking garage when I go shopping, I use a sun shade. My car has about 65,000 miles on it and it looks horrible inside with the cracked dashboard and is a safety issue. Something needs to be done about this issue. I know I am not the only person that is having this issue. Somebody needs to make nissan take care of this issue for their customers.

My 2007 nissan altima dashboard suddenly started having cracks. The cracks run all along the seams but there are others that just cracked out of no where. I have notified nissan corporate who referred me to my local dealership and when I talked to my dealership they said they ' would look into it' and get back with me. I am aware of the class action lawsuits in florida and texas and they state it's the heat. Well I live in louisiana just as hot and I park in a garage. 80,000 miles. With all these cracks and goo and sticky stuff people are having has anyone tested this substance for toxicity. I now have two white spots appearing. My cracks looks like the dashboard is lifting and I was told it could be gases from ' glue' that holds dash down. As a former nurse this could be very dangerous as no one is testing this and it can be affecting thousands of lives who are exposed to this daily. Nissan is aware of this problem and they state out of warranty. Have they tested this. All complaints are 2007 owners. In my opinion this needs further investigation due to possible substances being released (I have asthma) and other owners who cannot see out their window. We have had our car several years and we also can't roll down the windows with our key or power locks either.

My 2007 nissan altima has a dashboard that reflects up onto the windshield and blocks my view of oncoming traffic. I have nearly been in several accidents and it has made this car unsafe to drive. The dash is sticky and soft and is spreading farther across the dash constantly. Something has to change or this car can't be driven in the day.

The dashboard has melted causing unsafe glare. This seems to be a common issue. The dashboard is impossible to clean in this state. Http://www.hickeylawfirm.com/blog/major-safety-issue-with-melting-dashboards

In 01/12, we specifically purchased this pre-owned vehicle for its low mileage & new CVT transm replaced on 8/30/2010 at 69,421 mi at nissan fort worth, tx. Vehicle had 92.069 mi. On 6/22-25/13, trophy nissan in mesquite, tx supposedly replaced the burnt up CVT transm with a new one again, flushed out lines at 105,022 mi [after only 35,601 mi]; also performed electronic fuel injection service, clean throttle chamber, decarbon upper engine area; replaced & reprogrammed intelligent keys. I paid pay $398.48 for air intake cleaner, intake kit, basic inj flush and replacing drive belts & fan. I really didnt understand what that had to do with replacing the automatic CVT transmission.] service advisor ignored memo from corporate office not to place intelligent keys to prevent a "no start fault error". On 7/3/13 the car refused to start due to keys being placed together. New CVT transm installed by trophy nissan still whines, stalls, hesitates, jerks & gears not shifting right. Due to bad service, rude, nasty, unprofessional people at trophy, I took car to courtesy nissan, richardson, tx in 7/13, service advisor, bob schille contacted trophy nissan & refused to check CVT. On 8/10/13 at 110,856 mi, I took car to clear lake nissan, league city, tx. Cvt was whining, jerking,stalling, hesitating, not shifting properly when test driven but yielded no diagnostic codes. On 6/28/14 - 7/1/14 at 118,531 mi, took car back to courtesy nissan. I was lied to, car was never test driven nor CVT diagnosed. Took car back to clear lake 11/22 still CVT didn't give diagnostic codes. Went back 12/12/14, CVT gives codes for new CVT after abt 25,000 mi. Now warranty has run out! Contacted nissan USA again via phone, then email 5/18/15. Contacted by angie, nissan USA, regional consumer affairs specialist, 5/28/15 refusing to repair this defective CVT tranm. No car needs 3-4 CVT transm in 8yrs!
