FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD IS RUSTING OUT BADLY WITH A BIG HOLE IN THE FLOOR.I AM WORRIED THAT EITHER SOMEONE'S FEET WILL FALL THROUGH FLOOR OR THERE COULD BE A CASE OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISON. I CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND MASTRIA NISSAN DEALER ON 5-30-14 AND WAS TOLD," THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS, SO THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE".THE DEALER DID SAY," THEY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON MANY ALTIMAS AND HAVE FIXED IT IN THE PAST FOR A COST OF $755.00 PER FLOOR PANEL".I TOLD THEM," IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE,WHY SHOULD I PAY TO FIX IT." *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, STRUCTURE
ON MAY 26, 2014 APPROX 9:30AM WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED IN EASTERN PA. IN MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL, WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXTREMELY LOUD GUN SHOT TYPE SOUND RIGHT ABOVE THE CAR ROOF. AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND VISIBLY SHAKEN INCLUDING MY 2 OCCUPANTS WE SLOWLY PULLING BACK THE SUNROOF LINER THAT WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. IT WAS NOTICED THE ENTIRE SUNROOF HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE CAR ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND TRUNK AREA. THE REMAINING GLASS WAS BULGED OUTWARD LIKE THE GLASS WAS PUSHED OUTWARD FROM INSIDE. THERE WAS NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER OF IMPACT FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR. THE ROOF, TRUNK AND REAR SPOILER WERE COVERED IN SMALL SHARDS OF GLASS WITH MANY NOTICEABLE DEEP SCRATCHES FROM THE GLASS IMPACT. WE STOPPED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN WILKES BARRE, PA AND SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP THE PROBLEM WE JUST ENCOUNTERED. THE DEALERSHIP CLEANED AND COVERED THE DAMAGED SUNROOF AND ADVISED US TO DRIVE SLOWLY HOME UNTIL YOU COULD CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD GIVE ME NO REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED OR HAD NEVER HEARD OR SEEN THIS PROBLEM. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHEN I GOT HOME AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I WAS ADVISED FROM MY DEALERSHIP AFTER THEY CLAIMED THEY CONTACTED NISSAN MOTORS AND THE LOCAL NISSAN AREA REP. THAT THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME ANY REASON WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THEY TOLD ME THEY USUALLY DON'T COVER GLASS BREAKAGE BUT CALLED IT A GOOD WILL GESTURE AND WOULD REPLACE THE SMASHED SUNROOF AT NO CHARGE BUT REFUSED TO FIX THE DAMAGED PAINT THAT WAS CAUSED FROM THE GLASS HITTING THE ROOF, TRUNK AND SPOILER SURFACE. *TR

AIR BAGS
LEASED THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2013. NOTICED THAT WHEN I SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AT RANDOM TIMES. SOMETIMES IT IS ON THE ENTIRE TIME I AM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, SOMETIMES IT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE AND STAYS ON AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR VARIOUS FIXES/RECALLS ON THE OCS SYSTEM; HAD THE LATEST RECALL ISSUED IN APRIL 2014 DONE ON MY CAR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, SAME AS BEFORE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME, AS I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY OR NOT IF WE ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY WITH THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT BEING ON WHEN I SIT THERE. THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT ONCE MORE FOR ME YESTERDAY (5/28) AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE LIGHT ILLUMINATES OR IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO ME. SOMEONE ELSE MUST GET INVOLVED TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED FOR ME. I UNDERSTAND THE DEALERSHIP'S HANDS ARE TIED AS THEY HAVE NO FURTHER DIRECTION/INFO FROM NISSAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I NEED A RESPONSE AND FIX ON THIS. *TR

STEERING
AFTER DRIVING MY NEW CAR, I NOTICED THAT ABOVE 60 MPH, EVEN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS HELD STRAIGHT AHEAD, THE CAR WILL VEER EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT EVER MOVING THE WHEEL - AT RANDOM, REGARDLESS OF CROWN OR TRUCK-RUTTED ROAD. DEALER CHECKED THE STEERING, AS WELL AS ANOTHER NEW ALTIMA; BOTH MADE SIMILAR CLUNKING NOISES LEFT AND RIGHT WHEN PARKED AND IDLED BY MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL A FEW INCHES EITHER DIRECTION. WIND DIRECTION FROM EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT INCREASES THE EFFECT OF CONSTANTLY HAVING TO OVER-CORRECT TO COMPENSATE FOR THE CAR NOT GOING IN THE DIRECTION OF WHERE THE WHEEL IS POINTED. IT IS AS IF, WHEN THE CAR IS "ON CENTER" IT WILL THEN DRIFT LEFT OR RIGHT WITHOUT AFFECTING THE STEERING WHEEL. WHILE THIS OCCURS, IF ONE WERE TO LOOK AWAY FOR EVEN ONE SECOND, EITHER CENTER STRIPE OR SIDE STRIPE WOULD BE CROSSED. IT IS A BAFFLING SITUATION. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE, OLD OR NEW, THAT IS CONNECTED AND THEN, IT'S AS IF THE STEERING IS THEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE WHEELS. I WOULD NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON SNOW OR ICE. I FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE NEW STEERING SYSTEM ON THE 2013 AND 2014 ALTIMAS. *TR

I HAVE THE NOTORIOUS FLOORBOARD RUST PROBLEM. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE. I HAVE A FOOT SIZE HOLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. IT IS RUSTED OUT ALL THE WAY TO THE INTERIOR CARPET. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NISSAN NEEDS TO PAY TO FIX. NOT THE CONSUMERS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT ON HOW THE CAR WAS MADE. *TR

MY NISSAN ALTIMA VIN # INCLUDED SEPARATELY, HAS ABOUT 90,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS BOUGHT FEBRUARY 2007 AND HAS BEEN OWNED BY ME SINCE THEN (FIRST AND ONLY OWNER). I PERFORMED MY 90,000 MILE SERVICING TODAY AND WAS NOTIFIED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE (UNDERCARRIAGE) ARE RUSTING AND I CAN SEE A HOLE OPENING UP THERE. HE SHOWED ME WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY CAR TO GET FIXED AT THE SHOP. THE REST OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE SEEMED FINE. THIS INDICATES A MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO ME. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE: MODERN VEHICLES OUGHT NOT TO ROT LIKE SO, AND SUCH A ROT EXPOSES THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AT GREAT RISK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I AM GETTING EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE NOW OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS SERVED ME WELL, AND THE ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN HAS ITSELF BEEN TROUBLE FREE. HOWEVER, IF THE FLOOR BOARDS ROT LIKE THIS, I AM UNSURE ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S OVERALL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN FROM BILL SEIDLE'S NISSAN IN MIAMI FLORIDA. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR THEY TOLD ME THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 30 MPG WITH AN AVERAGE OF AROUND 26 MPG. MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I MENTIONED TO THE DEALER THAT THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS SAYING AROUND 20 MPG AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED IT TO TRACK THE MPG MYSELF BECAUSE THE COMPUTER FROM THE CAR IS NOT ACCURATE. I TRACKED THE MILES AND THE RESULTS WERE 20 MPG. I TOOK THAT CAR IN TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IS THE MILEAGE THAT I WAS GOING TO GET. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY THAT ON MULTIPLE TIMES "NO KEY DETECTED" MESSAGE COMES UP AND IT TAKES ME A WHILE FOR THE CAR TO START. EVENTUALLY IT TURNED OUT THE BATTERY WAS NOT GOOD AND IT WAS CHANGED. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUED AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS PROBLEMS CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE CARS TURNS ON THE MESSAGE STAYS ON FOR A WHILE. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY. I NOW TAKE PICTURES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS AND ARE TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. I'M CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S BRAND NEW FROM DEALER, SAME DAY NOTICED TICKING/RATTLING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING WITH SLIGHT VIBRATION. TAKE CAR TO DEALER TO GET CHECKED OUT ON 05/24 AND AGAIN ON 05/27. DEALER CONFIRMED THE NOISE, SERVICE MANAGER TELLS ME NOISE COME FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION, BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A TRANSMISSION MAKING STRANGE SOUND. NISSAN DEALER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AND SAID IT'S NORMAL. *TR

VEHICLE HAS RECURRING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS A COUPLE OF TIMES PER DAY OVER THE COURSE OF 100 MILE COMMUTE. MOST OFTEN OCCURRING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC 20-35MPH SPEEDS UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE CAR TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO VERIFY OR RECREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I DROVE MY CAR FROM MS TO GA. WHEN I REACHED MY HOTEL AND TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TRIED TO LEAVE AGAIN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD THE LIGHT CHECKED THE NEXT THE AND IT CAME BACK READING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR. WHEN I MADE IT BACK TO MS I GOT THE PART REPLACED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS TURNED OFF. 8 MONTHS LATER MY CAR STARTED CUTTING OFF AT RED LIGHTS AND NOT STARTING AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED AGAIN THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS READING FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR AGAIN. ONCE I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I JUST HAD THAT FIXED HE FIGURED IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE. REPLACED MY BATTERY, BATTERY CABLES, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER. CARS STILL SHUTS OFF AND WONT CRANK. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY CAR STALLS ON ME DAILY AND SHUTS OFF AT RED LIGHTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS SO BRIEF THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) LOGIC DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION, THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE 5-7 TIMES WHERE THE CAR WOULDN'T START OR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ( DECREASING IN SPEED). *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, STRUCTURE
THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE 2.5S IS MELTING. THE MELTING STARTED AROUND THE EDGES OF THE SPEAKER GRILL AND THE TOP PART OF THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE TRIED TO REMOVE THE RESIDUE WITH DIFFERENT PRODUCTS, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. THE MELTING HAS PROGRESSED TO A POINT WHERE IT IMPAIRS MY VISION DUE TO THE REFLECTION OF SUN ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. I AM ONLY ONE OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE. A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE FOR THE WORDS "MELTING" "DASHBOARD" AND "ALTIMA" WILL POP UP MORE THAN A DOZEN THREADS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THEM ARE FROM SATES WHERE THE TEMPERATURES ARE REGULARLY HOT. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THE ENGINES RPM WOULD FALL BELOW 500 AND AT TIMES WOULD STALL THE ENGINE MAKING ME VULNERABLE TO A COLLISION. IT GOT SO BAD MY DAUGHTER WOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO SEVERAL MECHANICS OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR AND NO ONE COULD FIX THE PROBLEM TUNE UPS AND SUCH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WITH A SMOKE MACHINE AND HE FOUND THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD A LEAK AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM COST $850.00 PLUS TAX. I RESEARCHED INTAKE MANIFOLD VACUUM LEAK ON THE 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF NISSAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME VACUUM LEAK! SEVERAL OF THE NISSAN OWNERS HAD TO MAKE THE REPAIR MORE THAN ONCE, SOME PEOPLE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON VARIOUS FIXES THAT DID NOT WORK, I WAS TOLD BY ONE MECHANIC THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER LUCKILY I DID NOT GO FOR IT. I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY DEFECT BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD UNEXPECTEDLY IT LEAVES YOU WIDE OPEN FOR A CRASH OR WORSE!! I THINK NISSAN, NORTH AMERICA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR, IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET OR POOR ENGINE DESIGN WHICH CAUSE'S THE GASKET TO FAIL- IT MAY ALSO BE TOO CLOSE TO A HEAT SOURCE (THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD) CAUSING THE GASKET TO FAIL. I THINK IT IS UNFAIR TO THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO SO MANY NISSAN'S. *TR
