TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE HAD TREAD SEPERATION. THE FIRST TIRE SEPERATED IN JUNE OF 00, THE OTHER THREE TIRES SEPERATED IN THE FOLLOWING MONTHS, LATE JULY, AND AUGUST. THE TIRES WERE PRO-RATED BY A FIRESTONE TIRE DEALER AND REPLACED. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDED TO BE REPORTED TO YOUR AGENCY IN LIGHT OF THE OTHER SEPERATION PROBLEM OF FIRESTONE TIRES. *AK( DOT NUMBER: M+S TIRE SIZE: 205-60R-14 )

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE GEARSHIFTER HAS BEEN STUCK AT LEAST 100 TIMES IN PARK. MY DAUGHTER, WHO DRIVES THE CAR, HAS BEEN STUCK AT RAILROAD CROSSINGS, HOTEL ENTRANCES, AND MANY INCONVENIENT AND SOMETIMES DANGEROUS LOCATIONS. ONCE, THE CAR GOT STUCK IN PARK RIGHT AFTER TAKING HER CHILD TO THE HOSPITAL..FORTUNATE TIMING. EACH TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE (JAREMKO NISSAN, INC., 6901 E SPRAGUE, SPOKANE, WA 99213, 509-924-6242) MY DAUGHTER IS TOLD NOTHING CAN BE FOUND. BUT THE SERVICE PERSONNEL ADMIT THAT OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS. "JUST BRING IN THE CAR NEXT TIME IT'S STUCK" THEY SAY. BUT REALLY, HOW CAN YOU DRIVE IN A CAR THAT'S STUCK IN PARK. I JUST WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED OR RECEIVE ALLOWED REIMBURSEMENT FOR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE FAILURE HAPPENED TWICE TODAY. I DROVE MY NISSAN ALTIMA GXE IN NEW YORK, NY ON AUG. 19, 2000 AT ABOUT 6:30PM. WHEN I WAS APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT SPEED ABOUT 15-20 MPH THE ENGINE DIED AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS WENT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART MY CAR. 10-15 MINUTES LATER, WHILE MOVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 15 MPH THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN AND AT THIS TIME BOTH EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND SOUND ALARM WENT OFF. I WAS LUCKY ONCE MORE TO STOP SAFELY. I TURNED OFF THE ALARM USING ALARM KEY ON THE IGNITION KEY-CHAIN AND RESTARTED CAR AGAIN. I USED ORIGINAL NISSAN IGNITION KEY WITH "SMART CHIP". GAS TANK WAS 1/4 FULL. ON JULY 22, 2000 MY CAR HAD RECOMENDED BY NISSAN 7500 MILE INTERVAL SERVICE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE LEFT ARM REST COLLAPSED TWICE AND NISSAN REPLACED IT THE FIRST TIME GRATIS. DUE TO THE HOLE ON THE ARM REST I DEVELOPED CUBITAL TUNNEL SYNDROME OF THE LEFT ELBOW RESULTING IN SURGERY. NISSAN CLAIMS THEY HAVE HAD NO OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND IT IS NOT A "DESIGN/PRODUCTION" DEFECT BUT EXCESSIVE WEAR ON MY PART EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST OCCURANCE HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 21,000 MILES.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
CAR BUCKS AT ALL SPEEDS, ALL GEARS, ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS. HAS BEEN EXAMINED BY LANG'S AUTO (R5674) AND BOB SHARP NISSAN IN WILTON, CT. NEITHER COULD IDENITIFY PROBLEM ON COMPUTER OUTPUT, BUT MULTIPLE MECHANICS COULD FEEL BUCKING. BUCKING IS SIGNIFICANT AND JARS PERSONS IN THE CAR. NISSAN DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR THREE WEEKS AND FINALLY GAVE IT BACK REPORTING THEY COULD NOT IDENITIFY PROBLEM OR FIX IT. SUGGESTED PREMIUM GAS AND DRY GAS WHICH WE HAVE DONE AND IT HAS NOT HELPED. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. WE HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND CAN NOT TAKE THEM IN THAT CAR AS THEY WOULD BE JARRED. WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL RECOURSE WITH DEALER AS ORIGINAL DEALER WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND THE ONE WE WENT TO CAN NOT FIX AND WILL NOT CONTINUE TO TRY. CAR IS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 80/ WEEKDAY FOR COMMUTING PURPOSES AND ON WEEKENDS. THE BUCKING DOES NOT SEEM TIED TO ANY OTHER EVENT (GEARS, SPEEDS, ETC.) *AK
