1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2020

Dash is cracking and dash material is becoming soft and semi-sticky. It is not yet to the point of being melted and producing glare like 2008/2009 models but is quickly headed in that direction. Car is garaged when not in use.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2019

My car is showing a crack which started on the left side of the dashboard and has slowly stretched all the way over to the other end. I need my car for transport and am afraid that one day the dashboard could open up while I am driving, which could cause major damage to me and my granddaughters. I am a senior with no income at this time and unable to make any upgrades or repairs. Please let me know if there is anything you can do or if I need to reach out to anyone else that can help me resolve this issue.

2010 Altima with a melting and cracking dash board since I've moved to florida. The glare impairs visual field and presents a safety issue for myself and others.

5 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2015

My check engine light came on and I made an appointment for Monday at planet Nissan. On Saturday 1/24/15 the light went off, but I've heard some knocking and the steering makes a rubbing sound. So far the master cylinder had to be replaced, which I filed a complaint here, and was reimbursed, but before reimbursement they told me my VIN did not match. So I find that questionable. I've put on new struts on the front and rear. Nissan said the check engine light had to do with the transmission and it was under warranty and has been repaired. Now they are telling me that the front strut mounts are cracked which is not covered. I've been on line and see that 2010 models have had this problem. They have not located the rubbing sound in the steering wheel. I've called Nissan consumer department and am awaiting a reply. So far the master cylinder, struts front and back, the transmission, and now the front strut mounts. On a car with this little mileage, I don't feel secure in this car and will never own another Nissan. I think they should repair the strut mounts. I've never had so many problems with a car before. I would say very poor workmanship. I was looking forward to paying the car off as I owe very little at this time and I keep my cars a long time, but feel I have a lemon and am very disappointed. As much as we pay for cars today there shouldn't be so many problems.
