UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED AN OVERLY REFLECTIVE FINISH ON MOST OF THE PLASTIC/RUBBERIZED DASHBOARD SURFACES, LIKELY DUE TO NORMAL SUN AND/OR HEAT EXPOSURE. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN, AS THE DRIVER IS DISTRACTED BY REFLECTED LIGHT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE.

THE MATERIAL THE DASH IS MADE FROM GETS EXTREMELY HOT AND MELTS, AND THE UPPER DASH HAS A GLARE THAT SHINES AND COMES OFF THE DASH INTO THE WINDSHIELD AREA & CAUSES A MAJOR DISTRACTION FROM THE GLARE. MY 20-YR OLD DRIVES THIS CAR AND HAS ALMOST CRASHED DUE TO THE GLARE. THE DASH NEEDS REPLACED. I TRIED A PHOTO, BUT DOES NOT SHOW THE GLARE.

MY CAR LOSES POWER ON THE FREEWAY AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I TYPICALLY DRIVE ON NORTH DALLAS TOLLWAY IN DFW AREA AND THE OTHER DAY I HAD TO EXIT BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST POWER AFTER DRIVING ON FREEWAY FOR 60 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING INTERMITTENT ISSUE SINCE DAY ONE. I FOUND ONLINE THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO REPAIR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER BUYING THE CAR IN LATE 2019, IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. I LATER FOUND THAT THE YEAR, MODEL, AND MAKE OF MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL OF THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AMONG OTHER SAFTEY ISSUES. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY THREE DIFFERENT SHOPS, THE CONCLUSION WAS MADE THAT IT WAS INDEED THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND STEPPER MOTOR CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION, IT WAS FOUND THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT HAD A RECALL REPLACEMENT OF THE FAULTY PARTS AS OF YET. THE CAR HAS ONLY 96K MILES ON IT. WHEN THE ISSUE ARISES, THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO A "SAFE" MODE. THIS MODE CREATES A THROTTLE PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLE CANNOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN 40 MPH WITHOUT A HIGH PITCH WIND UP SOUND AND A CUT IN POWER OF ALMOST 50%.

MY CAR IS SHOWING A CRACK WHICH STARTED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD AND HAS SLOWLY STRETCHED ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE OTHER END. I NEED MY CAR FOR TRANSPORT AND AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THE DASHBOARD COULD OPEN UP WHILE I AM DRIVING, WHICH COULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE TO ME AND MY GRANDDAUGHTERS. I AM A SENIOR WITH NO INCOME AT THIS TIME AND UNABLE TO MAKE ANY UPGRADES OR REPAIRS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO OR IF I NEED TO REACH OUT TO ANYONE ELSE THAT CAN HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

I BOUGHT A NISSAN ALTIMA 2010 WHICH I THOUGHT WAS SHINNY DUE TO CLEANING TO REALIZED LATER THAT IT IS ACTUALLY STICKY BECAUSE IT IS DEFECTIVE. IT GETS WORSE AFTER IT IS EXPOSED TO HEAT. THE SHADE COVER STICKS TO THE DASHBOARD AND LEAVES PARTICLES ATTACHED TO IT, THE WORSE THING IS THE REFLECTION OR GLARE IT CREATES WHEN DRIVING IN THE SUN. IT MAKES HARD TO SEE FORWARDS.
