ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON 5/23/19 MY SON WAS DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND COMPLETELY STOPPED/SHUTDOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S A BLESSING HE WAS NOT INJURED/KILLED WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK REVEALED A SENSOR THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SO AFTER AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR ON 5/24/19.THEN ON 5/25/19 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, THE CAR BEGAN TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN AND STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THIS CAR ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!!!

MY 2006 ALTIMA STARTED MAKING A TICK SOUND AROUND 80,000 MILES AND AROUND 115,000 MILES IN 2014 MY ENGINE FAILED. WHILE AT A RED LIGHT MY ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE I HAD ROCKS IN A TIN CAN. MY ENGINE WAS STILL UNDER FEDERAL WARRANTY BUT NISSAN WOULDNT HELP ME BECAUSE THEY SAID I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN BUT I WAS OUT OF DEALER WARRANTY SO I DIDNT KNOW. I ASKED THEM ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF IT BUT AFTER MONTHS OF RESEARCH I CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS DUE TO MY EFN BEING LISTED UNDER THE RECALL INFORMATION REPORT PROVIDED BY NISSAN, THEY STILL DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE MY ISSUE. I ENDED UP REPLACING THE ENGINE MYSELF IN 2014 FOR A TOTAL OF $3600 AND $1000 FOR LABOR AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT SINCE. I CALLED NISSAN, I SUBMITTED MY COMPLAINT BY MAIL AND I TOLD THEM MY ENGINE WAS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 150,000 MILES FEDERALLY (I HAD 120,000 AT THE TIME) BUT THEY JUST OVERLOOKED MY COMPLAINT AND NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
