SUSPENSION
THE CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE IN THE RAIN. I HAVE REPLACED THE ORIGINAL TIRES WITH A BETTER QUALITY BUT THAT HAS NOT HELPED. SPECIFICALLY, THE CAR FISH TAILS EASILY BOTH DURING BRAKING AND/OR TURNING IN WET WEATHER. THIS IS NOT A DRIVER RELATED ISSUE. I AM A 47 YEAR OLD ACCIDENT FREE DRIVER. I AM TRADING THE CAR BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS SAFE. IN DRY CONDITIONS THE CAR IS FINE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINED WITH T HIS PERFORMANCE AND HAVE FOUND 2 OTHERS ALTIMA OWNERS WHO REPORT THE SAME PROBLEM. IN FLORIDA WE RECEIVE A LOT OF SUMMER RAIN.*AK

SEATS, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, I WAS HIT FROM THE REAR BY A CAR TRAVELING ABOUT 30MPH. UPON IMPACT THE DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSED AND CAME OFF TRACK. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE, I CONTACTED NISSAN TO FIND OUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO PREVENT TTHIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN BECAUSE IF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEAT, ANY CHILD BEHIND ME WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED TO DEATH. NISSAN SAID THAT THE SEAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COLLAPSE AS A SAFTEY MECAHANISM. I AM STILL UNDERGOING THERAPY FOR INJURY TO MY LOW BACK, WHICH HURT UPON IMPACT, AND MY NECK AND SHOULDERS. I WANT THIS SEAT FIXED. I WOULD RATHER HAVE WHIPLASH, WHICH I SUSTAINED ANYWAY, THAN CRUSH ONE OF MY CHILDREN TO DEATH.*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P205/60R15 )

AIR BAGS
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT I HAVE AN EXTENTED WARRANTY THAT CLEARLY STATES THAT AIRBAG SENSORS ARE NOT COVERED, HOWEVER, THE DIANOSTICS INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS AN AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT. WHICH DIDN'T STATE THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER AND THE NISSAN COORPORATE OFFICE AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WHICH IS 3146876 HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY POSITIVE RESULTS JUST THE NORMAL RED TAPE A CONSUMER ENCOUNTERS. IN ANY CASE, I FEEL THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTUER DEDECT AS ANY SAFETY DEVICES SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE OR AT LEAST 100,000 MILES. ALSO THE DEALER THAT I PUT ON THIS FORM IS THE SERVICING DEALER. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN SANFORD, NC. PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS MATTER AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVIENCE. THANK YOU KINDLY. *AK
