Do the new Dashes bubble as well.

Post by AndriesS »

Nissan is offering to replace the dash on a 2006 Patrol at a "reduced" price of R4600, I'm not sure what the normal price is but would like to know if the new dashes are better and lasts. It does distract from the car and value and if ts only lasts another 3 years I would rather go for plan B (escape cover, leather ) or similar than have machies introduce more rattles.

So do you think it's worthwhile replacing?

thx

Sjoe, John

2 things. My 2007 dash was replaced a few months ago. Now what I didn't get answers on were the following:
1. Was it a manufacturing fault? i.e. meaning that they would replace under all conditions and not neccessarily under waranty conditions,
2. What the cause was and would there be recurrance??? = no answer

I would also like answers here. I will contact Nissan and try and find out.

Het gister myne gaan haal na die 90000km diens (en R3500 later :surprised:) . Die diens bestuurder sê toe vir my dat hy sien my dash het ook sulke borreltjies op en dat hy klaar die nuwe een bestel het en dat dit blykbaar gratis gedoen word. Die 2009 modelle het blykbaar 'n ander materiaal op die dash en dit maak nie borreltjies nie. Die veldtog loop blykbaar tot 2011 en hy sê hulle het al oor die 600 Patrols gedoen landwyd. Ek het nie eers geweet daar is soveel Patrols op die pad nie!

Aitsa! Iewers onderskat ons dan vir Nissan SA. Ek hoop al die ander "bubble" manne neem kennis hiervan en gaan vroegtydig vir hulle vervangings.

My nuwe dash is in!!! :woo: Dit lyk of hy van 'n ander soort materiaal gemaak is en hy blink nie soos die oue nie. Het my nie 'n sent gekos nie omdat dit 'n "warranty" geval is!

Got my new dash fitted at DTM Nissan in the Strand yesterday :woo: after small bubbles started to appear about a month ago. Like Sias mentioned the new dash is not as shiny as the old one and looks really great!
Even though my Trol was out of warrantee they just had to check if the bubbles were related to the problem and not from abuse and if the VIN is part of the recall. It took about a week to get the parts and they replaced the whole top part as well as the part above the glove box.

If you have a 2005/6 Patrol with bubbles take it to your nearest dealer and tell them to look at their e-news for the dash recall. This is only for a limited period so do it as quickly as possible. :thumbup:

my "old" Patrols [Lobo & Agarop] does not have this problem so I cannot "report"
BUT i do believe this is worth a news article [Beeld; Burger etc] (1) to reach ALL [or most of] Patrol owners affected adn sort of say "thanx & well done" to Nissan
John? Sias? anyone? just a thought.... :salute:
