I am a senior citizen that owns a 2008 Nissan Altima, 2.5, two door vehicle. I have spent thousands trying to fix a power condition on this car that has become chronic. One mechanic told me what my car has a a known symptom by Nissan and that there has been recalls for it, therefore, I went in the internet and search recalls for 2008 Nissan cars and found out its been known this mechanical problem is known manufacturer. Sadly i never received a notice of recall and I wonder how i was missed! Another issue of this car is that the dashboard is melting for several years and its also a known issue. Now, I will describe the symptoms of the car. 1. I bout this car with Mossy Nissan dealer, San Diego, CA. in July, 2010. Since i bout the car, i used to feel a burst of power when when starting to drive. I'd press the gas and it would take a second or two to move with power, I thought this is the way the car was and I liked it. unfortunately, this burst of power got more delayed as the car became older to the point that I am in a red light and the car does not move although I am pressing the gas. now the car stalls sometimes but not often. 2. I recognize this is a safety issue because for me because i can be hit by other car from the back when the car loses power. last weekend, I was on an intersection exiting the highway and made a left just when the car staled and another car almost collided with me. According to the internet report on this car, this is a known issue to Nissan. 3. Unfortunately, the car does not give me an alarm or safety warning on the dashboard when this happens, so its hard for the mechanics to troubleshoot.
