What owners wrote

2010 nissan altima, approximately 9500 miles. Car was parked in driveway in the evening, first very cold night of the year, about 10 degrees. When I entered car at approximately 8am the next morning, the passenger's side window had completely shattered. The window was still whole, no areas pushed in, just fully spidered with cracks, but still in place. Upon inspection, it just collapsed into and outside of the car. Car was in private location, no chance that it was hit or otherwise impacted.

Reported at 9,500 miles, December 2010

The material the dash is made from gets extremely hot and melts, and the upper dash has a glare that shines and comes off the dash into the windshield area & causes a major distraction from the glare. My 20-yr old drives this car and has almost crashed due to the glare. The dash needs replaced. I tried a photo, but does not show the glare.
