"TAKATA RECALL" I NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS, FIRST IS THE PAINT IN MY CAR. I JUST PURCHASED MY CAR 2 YEARS AGO AT A DEALER AND THE CARS PAINT AND CLEAR IS FADING AND MY CAR LOOKS UGLY, I HAVE QUOTED AT A PAINT BODY SHOP AND THEY TRYING TO CHARGE $800 OR MORE. I AM STILL PAYING THIS CAR AND DON'T APPRECIATE THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A DEFECT FROM THE COMPANY. THE HEADLIGHT ARE AWFUL AND I CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT OR SPECIALLY IN THE RAIN AND AFRAID TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED IN TRAFFIC AND I COULDN'T GET IT TO START. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROAD. THE GAS GAUGE WAS READING THAT IT HAD OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. IT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES OCCURRED IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT, SO I DID NOT CONTACT POLICE.

I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR TODAY AT A PARKING LOT AND FOUND OUT THAT BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE FRONT FLOOR BOARD IS RUSTING VERY HEAVILY. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND SAME PLACE IN THE CAR. MY CAR HAS NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE BUT ONLY UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM AFRAID THAT VERY SOON IT WILL DEVELOP INTO A HOLE IN MY CAR AND I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD UNDER MY FEET FROM INSIDE. THIS IS VERY TERRIFYING AND I BELIEVE THIS IS HIGH RISK SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO MANY ALTIMA OWNERS, IT IS A DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I SCANNED AND PULLED THE CODE WITH MY OWN PERSONAL SCANNER THE CODE WAS P0507 (IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE) THE CODE WAS CLEARED, NOW ANOTHER CODE IS BEING THROWN WHICH IS THE TPS(THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR) AND THE IATS(INTAKE AIR TEMP SENSOR BANK 1) I HEARD THAT NISSIAN HAD A RECALL ON THIS MATTER SO I RESEARCHED IT WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. I HEARD THE ECU NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ATTENDED TO BEFORE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

THE PART OF THE FLOOR BOARDS DIRECTLY BENEATH WHERE BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WOULD NORMALLY PLACE THEIR FEET HAS RUSTED THROUGH TO THE EXTENT THAT ONLY CARPETING AND INSULATION MATERIAL PREVENTS THE FEET FROM GOING THROUGH THE FLOOR TO THE GROUND. THE LOCAL " CAROUSEL NISSAN " DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTED THE DAMAGE BUT WILL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY. THE DAMAGE WAS NOTICED WHEN A PIECE OF THE CARPET OR INSULATION WAS SEEN HANGING UNDER THE CAR.
