SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE "BRAKE" LIGHT ON MY 2007 ALTIMA HAD BEEN COMING ON BRIEFLY THEN GOING OFF AGAIN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS FOR ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MONTHS. I HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AT 40,000 MILES AND MENTIONED THE "BRAKE" LIGHT ISSUE AS AN ASIDE. DEALER THEN INSPECTED AND SAID THERE WAS AN INTERNAL LEAK INSIDE OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $460.00 I AGREED TO THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE DEALER SAID THAT BRAKE FAILURE COULD OCCUR IF NOT REPLACED. MY RESEARCH INDICATED THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE FAULTY BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

CHILD SEAT:LATCH CONNECTOR/CLIP, CHILD SEAT
I OWN 2 SUNSHINE KIDS RADIAN XSTL CAR SEATS. BOTH SEATS WERE PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME AND ARE INSTALLED NEXT TO THE WINDOW SEATS IN MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. BOTH SUPERLATCH BELTS LOOSEN THEMSELVES WHEN ATTACHED TO THE LATCH SYSTEM IN THE CAR. I AM APPALLED! MY CHILDREN HAVE NOT BEEN SAFELY SECURED DUE TO THIS! I HAVE INSTALLED AND UNINSTALLED BOTH SEATS MANY TIMES AND MAKE SURE THE SEATS ARE INSTALLED SECURELY EACH TIME. THE BELT THAT TIGHTENS THE SUPERLATCH HITS RIGHT AT THE BELT PATH AND WILL TIGHTENED WHEN INSTALLING, BUT LOOSENS EASILY EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT TOUCHED. I WANT MY CHILDREN SAFE! (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2007, MAKE=ALTIMA, MODEL=NISSAN). *TR

JUST RECENTLY I NOTICED MY REAR SWAY BAR HAD SNAPPED INTO TWO PIECES. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CAUSE THIS; NO ACCIDENTS AND NOTHING HAS HIT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY CAR. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM - THEIR SWAY BAR JUST SNAPPED IN HALF TOO. I NOW HAVE TO PURCHASE THE EXPENSE CAR PART BECAUSE NISSAN WONT RECALL OR ADMIT TO HAVING THIS DEFAULT ON THE 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. I ONLY HAVE 75,000 MILES ON MY CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 90,000 MILES ON IT. ALL OF A SUDDEN I NOTICED WHEN CHECKING MY AIR PRESSURE THAT A PIECE OF METAL WAS HANGING DOWN UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE SUSPENSION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE REAR SWAY BAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD SNAPPED IN HALF. HE ASKED ME IF I HAD HIT ANYTHING AND I REPLIED NO... HE ALSO FOUND NO DAMAGE AROUND THE AREA TO SUGGEST THAT I HAD HIT SOMETHING. SO WHEN I ARRIVED BACK AT MY HOUSE I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND TO MY SURPRISE THIS SEEMS TO BE A SOMEWHAT WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH ALOT OF OTHERS OWNING MY SAME VEHICLE. I SPOKE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA WHO INFORMED ME THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING, AND HAD NEVER RECEIVED A VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE WITH THIS ISSUE. SO THEN I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIRECTLY, WHO ALSO STATED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, WHICH I FIND VERY HARD TO BELIEVE CONSIDERING A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL REVEAL NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD AND REPORTED THIS PROBLEM! I BELIEVE THIS IS DEFINITELY A PRODUCT DEFECT, AND NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW WHEN IT WAS RELEASED IN LATE DECEMBER 2006, ALMOST 2 YEARS LATER, I HAD INFORMED MY TECH WHEN I WOULD BRING MY CAR IN FOR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES THAT I HEAR A SLIGHT NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR AND SOMETIMES A VIBRATION, OVER THESE NEXT FEW MONTHS AND YEAS I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WAS EITHER A BEND IN MY RIM, NEEDING NEW TIRES, TO HAVING EXHAUST LEAKS OR ALIGNMENT NEEDED. SO I WOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY WOULD TELL ME DIFFERENT OR IF THEY CONFIRMED I WOULD GET THE SERVICE DONE AT A LICENSED MECHANIC. OVER TIME THE NOISE GREW LOUDER AND LOUDER AND DISMISSED EACH TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. UNTIL RECENTLY I FIGURED OUT THAT THE NOISE WOULD ONLY BE HEARD AND PRESENT AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING FOR 45MIN OR MORE. SO I REPRODUCED THE CONDITIONS BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS THEN THE ADVISED ME THAT THERE WAS SEVER RUST TAKING PLACE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. THE TECH PRECEDED TO TELL ME THAT MAY HAVE STARTED WHEN MY CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT 3 YEARS AGO IN 2008. I CONTACTED THE BODYSHOP THAT DID THE REPAIRS THE PROVIDED PAPERWORK PROVING THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS NEVER EFFECTED OR TOUCHED AS PART OF THE ACCIDENT. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND I EVEN HAVE PAPERWORK FROM THE SAME NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT SHOWS THAT NISSAN DID A MULTIPOINT INSPECTION WHERE THEY INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION AND ITS FLUID JUST 8 MONTHS PRIOR AND FOUND IT TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION N NO PRESENCE OF RUST OR FLUID ISSUES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO OWN UP TO THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THERE CVT TRANSMISSION AND COST FOR REPLACEMENT. *TR
