STEERING
THE STEERING LOCK ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS FAULTY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. UNFORTUNATELY OUR CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL. ENDED UP COSTING US $1300 TO REPLACE. CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY DID NOTHING BUT MAKE US WAIT 5 DAYS TO TELL US THEY WILL DO NOTHING.

I HAVE A MELTING DASHBOARD. THERE IS A GLARE THAT RADIATES FROM THE SHINE OF THE MELTING AREA THAT PRESENTS A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. I ALREADY HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS, ON 10/17/2014, AND THE ISSUE IS ONGOING . NOW THERE IS EVEN MORE GLARE . I CONTACTED NISSAN. THEY OFFERED ONLY TO PAY HALF FOR REPLACEMENT. THAT CAME OUT TO OVER 1000.00 WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT RIGHT. THIS IS A DEFECT.

AIR BAGS
THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE IN TWO MONTHS WHILE MY WIFE (110 LBS.)WAS SEATED SQUARELY IN THE CENTER OF THE PASSENGER SEAT.. I NOTICE THIS RIGHT AFTER STARTING ON A DRIVE. MY WIFE MOVED AROUND IN THE SEAT TRYING TO GET IT TO RECOGNIZE HER PRESENCE WITH NO LUCK. IT RESET-TED BOTH TIMES AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND HAVING HER EXIT AND REENTER. THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THIS ISSUE SERVICED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER LAST WEEK. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY SENT ME HOME WITHOUT MAKING ANY REPAIR. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE PUT FORGOT TO GET IT OUT OF MY WIFES PHONE BEFORE SHE LEFT FOR JAPAN FOR AQ THREE WEEK TRIP. I WILL UPLOAD IT WHEN SHE RETURNS. THIS IS MY WIFES CAR SO I WILL PUT HER NAME ON THE CONTACT FORM.

STEERING
I HAD A FAILURE IN THE STEERING COLUMN SENSOR FOR MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA RESULTING IN MY CAR BEING UNABLE TO START. MY CAR HAD BEEN PARKED WHILE I WAS AT WORK AND THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN WIDESPREAD ENOUGH FOR NISSAN TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY, WHICH ENDED OCT 2014. MY ISSUE OCCURRED 11/1/15. I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO TAKE A CAB, GET MY VEHICLE TOWED, AND THEN FIXED. I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT (CASE # 20709999) AND WAS INFORMED NISSAN WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT RICART NISSAN IN COLUMBUS, OH.

MY 2008 NISSAN ULTIMA DASH BOARD IS MELTING. THE VISIBILITY IS DIMINISHED IN THE SUNLIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IT CAUSES A HARSH GLARE AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEEWHILE DRIVING IN THE DAY TIME. THE DASH BOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SHINEY. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR DRIVERS SAFETY IMMEDIATELY.

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMAS DASHBOARD GOT A SHINY STICKY SUBSTANCE WHICH I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE USED A BAD DASH CLEANER, BUT IT APPEARS IT IS ACTUALLY MELTING. IT IS STICKY TO TOUCH, AND THE REFLECTION FROM THE SUN MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO WHINE AND LOSES POWER WITHIN A HOUR OF HIGHWAY DRIVING ON A HOT DAY. VEHICLE CANNOT ACCELERATE AFTER, THUS CREATING A HAZARD TOWARDS OTHER VEHICLES. NISSAN WONT COVER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM IF IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MOST ALTIMA MODELS FROM 2007 - 2009 ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM SURPRISED THEIR ISNT A RECALL FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.

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.
