VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DASHBOARD IS ACTUALLY MELTING CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN PROPER AND SUFFICIENT VISIBILTY DUE TO EXCESSIVE GLARE REFLECTING OFF OF MELTING DASHBOARD. THIS IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT IN SEEING PEDESTRIANS, ANIMALS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND SIGNS. I'VE HAD TOO MANY CLOSE CALLS OF NOT SEEING PEDESTRIANS FROM THIS GLARE UNTIL THE I WAS ALMOST ON TOP OF THEM.

I HAVE A 2013 ALTIMA THAT SHUDDERS/HESITATE/VIBRATES INTERMITTENTLY UPON ACCELERATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. UPON PICKING UP MY CAR, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES. I AM KNOW AT 54,000 MILES AND FEAR THAT THE WARRANTY WILL BE UP BEFORE A SOLUTION IS FOUND. THE SHUDDERING/VIBRATION/HESITANCY CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER, NO RECALLS.. I AM SURE NISSAN KNEW OF THE DEFECT PRIOR TO RELEASING THE VEHICLES AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONT TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

CAR SUDDENLY STOPS WHILE YOUR FMDRIVING AT A LOW SPEED. CHECK ENGINE COMES ON ANDTURNS VEHICLE OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FONT UNDERSTAND WHY IT HASNT BEEN RECALLED. MOST OF THE COMMENTS ARE SAID TO BE EITHER THE CAMSHAFT OR CRANKSHAFT. THEY REPLACED THE PART AND IT WAS FINE FOR 3 MONTHS AND IT CCONTINUES TO DO IT. IM GOING TO END UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND NISSAN DOESNT EVEN CARE....

THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL RECALLS ON THERE BRAND EVEN AFTER THE END DATES.

THE CAR RANDOMLY DISPLAYS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DEACTIVATION LIGHT WHEN THE SEAT IS EITHER OCCUPIED BY SOMEONE WEIGHING 130-180 POUNDS OR THE SEAT IS EMPTY. ALL COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND RECALL NUMBER 14V138000 HAS BEEN PERFORMED. SINCE THIS RANDOMLY HAPPENS, NISSAN SAYS "IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIX IT." THIS STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE ROADWAY AND THE LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON. A NISSAN REP SAID TODAY, OCTOBER 29, 2015, THAT IF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY WHILE OCCUPIED BY MY WIFE(5' 5" 180 POUNDS) OR DAUGHTER(4' 10" 130 POUNDS) THAT "THEY WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED." I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS SHOWING THE MALFUNCTION. IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS DATES.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THE CAR BEGINS TO LURCH AND THEN STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO DAYS. IN ADDITION, WHEN YOU STOP AT A REDLIGHT AND THEN START TO GO AT THE GREEN LIGHT THE CAR STALLS. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND US. THE CAR STALLED AT THE LIGHT SO WE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR, AND THEN PUT IN DRIVE. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD BUT STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION. WE REPEATED THE START UP PROCESS AND THE CAR DROVE HOME. THIS MORNING THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS. THIS CAR IS SIMPLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS STATE. WE DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT A DEALER THIS MORNING. I AM PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE MANY OTHERS HAVE AS WELL. OUR CAR JUST WENT OVER 36000 MILES

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE STEERING LOCK UNIT CAUSE THE CAR NOT TO START. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE UNIT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND HAVE OPEN TWO CASE FILES(CASE#16923576 & CASE# 19538658) ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT FOR MY VIN#. LAST NIGHT I WAS STRANDED AT WORK IN A DARK PARKING LOT FOR 4 HOURS BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND IT IS STILL IN THE PARKING LOT. I CALLED NISSAN ONLY TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VIN#. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS STEERING DEVICE AND SHOULD BE RECALLING ALL OF THE CARS. TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS AROUND $1200.00 WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. I AM THE CONSUMER WHO PURCHASED THE VECHICLE AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILTY OF MANUFACTOR TO FIX AND REPAIR THERE DEFECTS. I GOOGLE MY ISSUE ON YOU TUBE AND FOUND SEVERAL VIDEOS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. TO GET MY CAR STARTED I HAVE TO REMOVE THE DASH UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL AND BEAT ON THE STEERING LOCK UNIT UNTIL IT UNLOCKS SO THAT THE CAR WILL START.I AM 63 YEAR OLD FEMALE AND THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO TO START MY CAR. WHAT IF THIS LOCKS WHILE I AM DRIVING, WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH I AM AFRAID TO STOP AND TURN MY CAR OFF FOR FEAR IT WILL NOT START. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM THAT BEGAN 12/23/2014 AND CONTINUES EVERY DAY.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNS OFF WITH ADULT IN THE SEAT. IF ADULT MOVES AROUND THE WARNING LIGHT GOES OUT BUT RETURNS WITHIN MINUTES. ALTHOUGH NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH A VARIETY OF ALTIMA MODEL YEARS THEY IGNORE MY SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE FACTORY SAYS SEE THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE. IF THE SERVICE DEPT VERIFIES THE PROBLEM HAVE THEM CONTACT US. THE SERVICE DEPT SAYS CALL THE FACTORY. SERVICE DEPT SAYS INSPECTION IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND COULD COST $200 OR MORE. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION BUT I HAVE NOT MONITORED IT WHEN PARKED. CANNOT 100% SAY IT IS ONLY WHEN IN MOTION.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS GOOEY, VERY SHINY AND CAUSES A GLARING IMAGE OF THE DASH TO PROJECT ONTO THE WINDSHIELD OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD. IF TOUCHED, IT FEELS LIKE AN ADHESIVE OBJECT AND HAS A CHEMICAL SMELL ON HOT DAYS. THIS GLARING IMAGE IS CONTINUALLY PROJECTED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING THE CAR A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.
