Hello everyone. I had my Z for 5 years and still running great, but there is one problem though, my interior seems to be cracked/peeling at some areas. The thing is, my Z is always garaged so it doesn't made any sense at all if it was caused by heat. So guys, do any of you have the same problem as mine?

Looks like a manufacturer's defect IMO. No modern car over $15k should have cracking like that before at least 10 years.

Yeah that's what i have in mind as well. But unfortunately a friend of mine who have the Z for about the same time as i am, have this problem too.. I guess i need to remove the dash and refinish it..

Hi Iwan72, I'm from Brunei and my Z is exhibiting the same problem. Like yours, mine's rarely driven, kept in a garage and when driven, mostly at night. Only 46 thousand kilometers in 4 years.
I would suggest you hound Boustead and insist they fix it under goodwill warranty. I'm doing exactly that and waiting for them to give me a decision. You should not have to fix this out of your own pocket. What a joke. Cracked dashboard in a car in this day and age is rare regardless of age and brand. Best of luck to you. |

Hi viceroy666,
I know it has been a while since you posted your message. I managed to get the dealer here to replace the entire dash, I had to pay the labor charges which I wasn't too happy with but they did pay for the part. Considering my car is out of warranty, it's not too bad I suppose. The dash is still ok at the moment but I expect it to crack again in the future unless Nissan has changed the material used to make the part which I doubt. |

Your location says you live in Brunei. If you are parking outside, any interior is going to deteriorate faster than if you were in, say, Canada. Using cleaners/protectants that leech the plasticizers from the material will hasten the process. A solid black interior doesn't help.
But I agree with Push370zzz - a dash made with modern materials should hold up for more than five years. Unless you have been abusing it.

My little bro's Altima is cracking a little. It's not a big long one like you have but it's breaking down. He thinks it's started when he used a certain interior cleaner. Mayhaps that's it?

my steering wheel is peeling on my Z, i park it indoors and use a windshield cover when i park on sunny days. shift knob is doing the same thing :/. btw guys, if anyone is interested in knowing, a replacement circle (not the whole airbag, button controls) but just the wheel itself from nissan OEM is $1250

My Z is 6 years old and the interior is in almost perfect condition...i agree with what somebody else already said, i think it's whatever interior cleaner you were using that basically is making the plastics shrink
