ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY CAR WOULD NOT START NORMALLY. IMMEDIATELY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. HAD A CODE WITH A FAILED CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. NISSAN WAS INFORMED AND RUDELY REFUSED TO HELP WITH THE REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A RECALL ON IT. SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. SEEMS LIKE NOBODY'S VIN # WAS INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I REPLACED THE SENSOR BUT IT COST ME $170.00 FOR SOMETHING THAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE HAPPILY HANDLED. NEVER BUY A NISSAN. MY FLOORBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ALSO COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THERE IS A HOLE IN MY FLOORBOARD. SAME STORY PAGE AFTER PAGE OF COMPLAINTS CAN BEEN SEEN ONLINE WITH THIS PROBLEM. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT UFTRING NISSAN IN PEORIA, ILLINOIS AND NOT ONCE DID ANYONE BRING MY ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT THIS CAR HAD RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH FROM THE INSIDE OUT. NISSAN REFUSES TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE EITHER. *TR

WHEELS, SUSPENSION, STEERING
ON 3/5/2012, I HAD A VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION. EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE FRONT END WAS NOTED. I TOOK MY CAR TO MONRO MUFFLER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON A LIFT AND THE UNDERSIDE INSPECTED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS SO BADLY CORRODED BY RUST THAT THE FRAME HAD PERFORATED AND BROKEN AWAY FROM THE SUSPENSION. THERE ARE HOLES THROUGHOUT AS WELL AS BREAKAGE AND WEAKENING. MONRO MUFFLER RECOMMENDED I CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHICH I DID. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO NISSAN STATING THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. I WAS DIRECTED BY NISSAN TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS WHICH I DID. NISSAN OF DARTMOUTH, MA CONFIRMED MONRO MUFFLER'S DIAGNOSIS AND QUOTED A MINIMUM $2,300 TO REPAIR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAMES. BEVERLY BANSEK OF NISSAN CALLED ME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT NISSAN WOULD DO NOTHING FOR THE REPAIR. I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR AND I WAS THEN CONTACTED BY THE REGIONAL SUPERVISOR OF NISSAN, VAUGHN FRANCIS WHO, AFTER REVIEWING MY CLAIM AGAIN, STATED THAT NISSAN WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME AND THAT THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE SUBFRAMES WAS DUE TO A LACK OF OWNER MAINTENANCE RATHER THAN A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP. VAUGHN FRANCIS THEN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ME TO CALL NISSAN AGAIN AS I WOULD ONLY GET HIM AND THE ANSWER WOULD BE THE SAME AND THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO CONTACT THE BBB AUTOLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION DIVISION AT 1-800-955-5100 WHICH I HAVE DONE. TWO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS STATE THERE IS NO OWNER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED ON THE SUBFRAMES OF NISSAN'S VEHICLES. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE FAILURE OF THE SUBFRAMES IS DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE SUBFRAME WHICH HAS LEAD TO PERFORATION POSSIBLY FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND BECAUSE THIS IS AN ISSUE OF WORKMANSHIP, NISSAN SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A POSSIBLE SAFETY RELATED DEFECT RESULTING FROM INADEQUATE MANUFACTURER'S CORROSIVE RESISTANT PROTECTION AND/OR SUBFRAME DESIGN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
STEPPING ON BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY FAILS TO ACTIVATE BRAKE-LIGHTS,WHICH ALSO INHIBITS STARTER.IF BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK ONCE VEHICLE IS UNDERWAY THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE BEEN REPAIRING THING FOR 50 YEARS AND AM 99.9% SURE THE PINS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCHES ARE HANGING UP INSIDE THE BORES,SINCE WEDGING SNOW SCRAPER AGAINST BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHING PLUNGERS UNTIL THEY POPPED ALL THE WAY OUT ALLOWS STARTING. PHONING A NISSAN DEALER'S PARTS DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED AVAILABILITY THEN GAVE ME A PRICE OF $39.17 FOR SWITCH(ES). NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO HUNCHING UNDER THE DASH,I TALKED TO SERVICE TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH TO INSTALL.AN "IMPROVED BRAKE WIRING HARNESS"IS NEEDED FOR "RARE" OCCURRENCES AT COST OF $238 AND LABOR OF $149.WHEN I ASKED IF THIS MIGHT BE A RECALL OR UNDER WARRANTY HE SAID"COULD NOT MAKE ANY MONEY" THAT WAY. IF IT IS A DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM NISSAN SHOULD EAT THE COST.INTERNET SEARCH HAS SOME DEALER RECOMMENDING PUSHING HARDER ON PEDAL OR POUNDING-PULSING.SOME REPLACED SWITCHES SHOWED PITTING OF CONTACTS{TOO MUCH CURRENT TOO OFTEN?} DO DOZENS OF CARS HAVE TO GET REAR-ENDED BEFORE ACTION TAKES PLACE??????????????????????? OR DOES MY WIFE HAVE TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE THE CAR WON'T START AND SHE WILL LOSE HER JOB? *JS *KB

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN MY 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND BLINKS WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED BACK IN 2009. THE PROBLEM IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN, SO I HAD AN ESTIMATE AT THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP. IN ORDER TO BE REPAIRED THEY SAID, I WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THERE HAD BEEN A PREVIOUS WORK ORDER IN ARRANGE FOR THE REPAIR TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY? I CALLED THE OTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THE REPAIR HAPPENED AND APPARENTLY, THERE IS NO PAPER TRAIL THE WORK ORDER ACTUALLY OCCURRED? THE COPY OF MY PAPERWORK SHOWS THERE WAS A REPORT AND A CUSTOM PART ORDERED, BUT NO ACTUAL RECEIPT SHOWING THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT THAT SHOWS A CUSTOM PART WAS ORDERED, HOWEVER, IT WAS NEVER RETURNED AND IT IS NO LONGER IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT.. SO, NO ONE KNOWS SEEMS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS MYSTERIOUS MISSING PART OR WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PART? I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PART, IT WAS INSTALLED IN MY CAR.. SO, NOW I AM TOLD A SENSOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, WHICH IS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT WILL COST ME $1500 TO REPAIR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING. WHAT IS MORE INTERESTING IS TO FIND THERE ARE OTHER CAR OWNERS SUFFERING FROM THE SAME SITUATION. THEREFORE THIS IS NOT JUST MY CAR... BUT A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY!!!!!! CAR OWNER IN CA, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY FRUSTRATED. *JS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE HAD THE SAME SENSOR RELATED COMPLAINT WITH THIS CAR MORE THAN 3 TIMES NOW. THE 1ST 2 TIMES WE TOOK TO A LOCAL GARAGE, BUT THE SAME ISSUE CAME UP A YEAR LATER. SO WE WENT TO WOODFIELD NISSAN, HOPING THAT THE DEALERSHIP, ALTHOUGH COSTS ALOT MORE, CAN DEAL WITH THE ISSUE BETTER. BUT JUST AS THE 12 MONTH WARRANTY EXPIRED, THE ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF AGAIN, WE WENT AGAIN TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP - BUT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY , EVEN THOUGH IT WAS WITHIN THE MILEAGE (BUT PAST THE 12 MONTHS). WE HAVE NOW SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS CRANK/CRAM SHAFT SENSOR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD US THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OUR DRIVING OR CARE, THIS ISSUE WILL OCCUR EVERY YEAR OR SO AND WE WILL HAVE TO GET IT REPAIRED OR CAR WILL STALL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT WE CAN PAY THEM TO TAKE OUR CAR TOTALLY APART AND THEN THEY CAN TRY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM - BUT I CANNOT SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SPEND HOURS LOOKING INTO MY CAR SO THEY CAN MAYBE FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET NISSAN TO HELP - BUT NOBODY RETURNS MY CALLS. I ALSO TRIED THE DEALERSHIP - BUT THERE TOO - NO ONE ANSWERS OR RETURNS MY CALLS. I WANT NISSAN TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND I CANNOT DO WITHOUT A CAR AND CERTAINLY CANNOT PAY SO MUCH TO KEEP GETTING IT REPAIRED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR REPAIRED FOR THE SAME STUFF 4 TIMES. IT HAS STALLED AND WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH IT. OUR SCHEDULES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN DISRUPTED. I HAVE BEEN LATE TO PICK UP MY CHILDREN, WE HAD TO CANCEL THEIR ACTIVITIES BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL OR IN THE SHOP. WE HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY TO GET IT TOWED EVERYTIME IT STOPPED. I THINK IT IS ABOUT TIME NISSAN TOOK CARE OF ITS PRODUCT. I CAN UNDERSTAND WEAR AND TEAR - BUT THIS IS BEYOND ANYTHING. NISSAN HAS TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN CAR SITS IN COLD WEATHER CLIMATE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND LOCKS UP. LOOSING THE ABILITY TO COME TO A STOP. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS IN WEATHER BELOW 20 DEGREES. IT'S A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN OWNERS HAVING PROBLEM WITH NISSANS FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM VALVE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I AM REQUESTING THAT DOT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE DRIVER'S CONTRIBUTION TO A LEAK WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND TO REQUEST THAT DOT NHTSA FORCE NISSAN TO ISSUE A RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS 2007ALTIMA 27K MILES THIS LEAK CAUSES LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. WHEN ENOUGH BRAKE FLUID IS LOSS, THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT ABLE TO GENERATE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO SQUEEZE THE BRAKE PAD TO THE BRAKE ROTORS. END RESULT IS THAT THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE CANNOT STOP THE CAR (NO BRAKES!!!). THIS POSES SERIOUS DANGER TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR, ITS PASSENGERS AND THE PUBLIC. PLEASE FORMALLY INVESTIGATE AND WHEN FOUND VALID, FORCE NISSAN TO DO A RECALL. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: IT STARTED WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNING ON THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES, TURN OFF. ALL THE WHILE MY BRAKES STARTS TO DIMINISH. I LOOKED THE BRAKES SYSTEM AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IS LOW. TOPPED IT OFF AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL.AROUND 60 DAYS LATER, BRAKE LIGHT AGAIN TURNED ON AND A FEW MINUTES TURNED OFF. SAME PROBLEM. I HAD IT CHECKED WITH A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC. HE??S CONCLUSION IS THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS A LEAK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 27K MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH A RECALL BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY HURT DUE TO LOSS OF BRAKES.

BRAKE LIGHT BEGAN GOING ON/OFF INTERMITTENTLY STARTING ON JANUARY 10, 2012. DEFINITELY MORE COMMON ON DAYS WITH TEMPS AT FREEZING OR BELOW. LIGHT WOULD EVENTUALLY GO OUT ONCE CAR WARMED UP, BUT WOULD COME BACK ON AFTER USING THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. BRAKES DID SEEM TO STOP OKAY, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE A FEW TIMES VERY RECENTLY THAT THEY MADE AN UNUSUAL NOISE. CHECKED/ADDED BRAKE FLUID SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS. HAD CAR SERVICED AT LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD THAT MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK. COST WAS $100 OUT OF POCKET -- REMAINDER COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AS MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 41,494 MILES ON IT. *TR
