MY NISSIAN ALTIMA, THE DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO CRACK AND MELT. THE LOCAL NEWS CHANNEL IN MY AREA DID INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THEY ADVISE TO FILE A COMPLAINT, AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ONLY SOLUTION IS TO HAVE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD REPLACED. *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY CAR BEGAN STALLING AND I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE ROAD AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.HAD I BEEN ON A BRIDGE OR BEEN FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY ANOTHER CAR IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I PLACED IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT STARTED.I CALLED PETRO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDED AS IF THE CAM OR DRIVE SENSOR WAS GOING OUT. I DROVE CAUTIOUSLY TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER(MOSSEY) IN HOUSTON. THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON IT BUT COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BRIDGE IN BATON ROUGE I APPROACHED AT 70MPH BUT ON THE BRIDGE I COULD NOT GET THE ACCELERATOR TO RESPOND TO KEEP ME ABOVE 50 MPH. I FELT I WOULD HAVE STALLED HAD THE BRIDGE BEEN ANY STEEPER OR LONGER. IT WAS VERY SCARY BUT I MANAGED TO MAKE IT OVER AND EXPERIENCED NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT TO PETRO THE NEXT MORNING ON THURSDAY AND IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR RE PRODUCE THE SYMPTOMS. TODAY, THEY ARE CONSULTING NISSAN FACTORY ENGINEER. *JS

AIR BAGS
REGARDING THE CURRENT (2013-2014) NISSAN RECALL DUE TO AIRBAG DEFECT: WE TRADED IN OUR 2007 ALTIMA FOR A 2014 MODEL. THE 2007 MODEL APPEARED TO HAVE THE SAME AIRBAG DEFECT BEING DESCRIBED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. DURING OUR OWNERSHIP OF THE 2007 MODEL, THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME--IT WOULD MISTAKENLY INDICATE THAT NO ONE WAS IN THE SEAT WHETHER THE ADULT SITTING THERE WAS SMALL OR HEAVY. THIS OCCURRED WITH AN ADULT SITTING IN A NORMAL, UPRIGHT, CENTERED POSITION. THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING WITH OUR NEW CAR. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE REAR SWAY BAR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SNAPPED. IT APPEARS TO BE HOLLOW WHICH IS NOT THE CORRECT DESIGN FOR SUCH A PART. THIS SHOULD BE A SOLID PIECE DUE TO ITS LOCATION ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE NISSAN USED A CHEAPER HOLLOW/INAPPROPRIATE BAR TO SAVE MONEY WHILE IGNORING THE CUSTOMER'S SAFETY.

GOT HOME AND SAW A METAL BAR HANGING DOWN FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION. LOOKED AT IT, AND IT'S A HOLLOW BAR. DID RESEARCH ON INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT BROKEN HOLLOW REAR SWAY BARS ON THE 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. I DRIVE LESS THAN 25 MILES A WEEK TYPICALLY, SHORT TRIPS AROUND TOWN, NO ROUGH DRIVING OR RACING. *TR

I NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING DOWN FROM BENEATH MY CAR WHILE APPROACHING THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR AXLE SUSPENSION BAR IS CRACKED. ONE NISSAN EMPLOYEE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID HE HAD "NEVER HEARD OF" THIS HAPPENING WITHOUT A ROOT CAUSE (ACCIDENT, ETC.). THIS CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, HAS NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES, ETC. MOST LIKELY THE ISSUE IS DUE TO SOME TYPE OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT WOULD ALLOW THE BAR TO EITHER CORRODE OR BREAK SPONTANEOUSLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET. THE BACK SUSPENSION OF THE CAR IS COMPROMISED AND THE ISSUE COULD HAVE LED TO SOMETHING MUCH MORE SERIOUS IN TERMS OF SAFETY. I WILL NOT HAVE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR UNTIL MORNING, BUT I AM QUITE SURE I NEED TO PURSUE THIS ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. IF THERE ARE THAT MANY OF US HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND REPORTING IT, THERE MUST BE QUITE A FEW MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE NOT GONE TO THE TROUBLE OF REPORTING BUT HAVE EATEN THIS EXPENSE/REPAIR AS WELL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CAR GOING TOTALLY DEAD, NO LIGHTS ENGINE WON'T START ETC. HAD BATTERY REPLACED BUT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM.CAR STILL DIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY WOULD NOT START OR FUNCTION IN ANY WAY...NO LIGHTS (NOT HAZARD,BRAKE,ETC.) WOULD FUNCTION,ENGINE WOULD NOT START, NOTHING... CAR IS DEAD.TOWED TO DEALER FIRST TOLD IT WAS THE BODY MODULE COMPONENT? ONE OF THE BRAINS IN THE CAR. THEN INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. TOLD TODAY IT IS THE WIRING HARNESS AND WILL COST $3,500.00+ THIS IN MY OPINION IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY AS WE COMMUTE IN THIS CAR. IT COULD HAVE DIED/STALLED ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING AND NO ABILITY TO USE HAZARD LIGHTS,ETC.WOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO MOVE CAR WITH DEAD ENGINE IF WE WERE CAPABLE OF DOING SO,MEANING IF WE DID NOT SUFFER AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE NOTED AND PEOPLE INFORMED OF THIS DANGER! WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO TAKE THE CAR BACK!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FAILURE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. LIFE THREATENING AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED. *TR
