NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 4 CYL. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN VARIOUS AREAS. MANY LENGTHY CRACKS WHICH ARE BEGINNING TO OPEN WIDER AND BECOMING LARGER. ALSO THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR 4 YEARS. WOULD BE NICE IF NISSAN WOULD LOOK INTO THIS DEFECT. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE DASHBOARD.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE LACKS SUFFICIENT ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD FOLLOWING AN EMERGENCY HARD BRAKING EVENT (WHERE THE WHEELS LOCK UP; I DO NOT HAVE ABS). ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER TO MOVE FORWARD, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR DOES LITTLE TO HELP. IT SEEMS LIKE THE CVT STAYS IN WHATEVER HIGH GEAR IT WAS WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. I BELIEVE THIS CONSTITUTES A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOW ESSENTIALLY BLOCKING TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY/MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS TWICE NOW, BOTH WITHIN CITY LIMITS <=45 MPH. THE ONLY WAY I AM ABLE TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN IS TO STOP/START THE ENGINE OR PUT TRANSMISSION IN PARK (P) THEN DRIVE (D) TO GET THE CVT TO "RESET". SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL (N) THEN DRIVE (D) DOES NOT HELP. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION AND THEY SAY THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND NO ERROR CODES REPORTED VIA OBDII.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS ON OUR NISSAN ALTIMA WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE KEYLESS FOB. THIS LOCKING FAILURE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR WHETHER IN MOTION. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND IT'S OK. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE FAILED TO OPERATE IN THE SAME MANOR AND I HAD TO HAVE THE OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP MAKE THE REPAIR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DOOR ACTUATOR PROBLEM OR SOME OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I KNOW AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE MORE THAN ME AND I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF SHE NEEDS TO UNLOCK THE CAR IN A HURRY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES INVOLVE PERSONAL SAFETY.
