SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELT WON'T RELEASE. WE HAVE TO KEEP PULLING THE BELT AND RAPPING IT AROUND THE HEAD REST SO THAT WE CAN DRIVE IT. IF WE ALLOW IT TO RETRACT WE CANNOT PULL IT OUT OF THE BELT RE-TRACTOR. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
RUSTING CROSS MEMBER BAR OF THE RADIATOR CORE OF ALL NISSAN ALTIMA FROM 1995. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED THE CROSS MEMBER BAR OF THE RADIATOR CORE COMPLETELY RUSTED. NO RUST ANYWHERE EXCEPT FOR THIS AREA OF VEHICLE. PART SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO INFERIOR WORKMANSHIP OF THE STEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS ENGINE COMPONENTS AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IT THE PARTS GIVE WAY UNDER THE RUSTED SUPPORT STRUCTURE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
AFTER READING SEVERAL ARTICLES ON LINE ABOUT THE RUSTING CROSS MEMBER BAR OF THE RADIATOR CORE OF ALL NISSAN ALTIMA AND MAXIMA CARS FROM 1992-2006 AND THEIR RE-BADGED INFINITI CARS I DECIDED TO CHECK MY VEHICLE WHICH ONLY HAS 41500 ORIGINAL MILES AND KEPT IN A GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME OWNING IT. I AM THE FIRST OWNER AND KEPT THIS CAR IN MINT CONDITION. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED THE CROSS MEMBER BAR OF THE RADIATOR CORE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED IN THE CENTER LIKE WHAT IS AFFECTING ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MODEL. MY CAR IS WELL CARED FOR AND HAS NO RUST ANYWHERE EXCEPT FOR THIS AREA. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO INFERIOR WORKMANSHIP OF THE STEEL USED AS MOST ALTIMA AND MAXIMA CARS ARE RUSTING IN THIS SPOT AND NOT ONLY IS IT EXPENSIVE TO FIX BUT DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT SUPPORTS VITAL ENGINE COMPONENTS AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IT THE PARTS GIVE WAY UNDER THE RUSTED SUPPORT STRUCTURE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DETACHED FROM THE FIREWALL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP BUT THEY DID NOT DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY PRESSURE (FOR MODERATE TO FAST ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE), THE VEHICLE, ON OCCASION, CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL. IF THE GAS PEDDLE WAS PRESSED DOWN FIRMLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BRAKING HAS LITTLE EFFECT ON CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT SEEM TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AS IT OCCURS. AFTER SHIFTING THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), THE ACCELERATION SEEMS TO STOP WITHIN ONE SECOND.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
95 NISSAN ALTIMA SHOWS "AIR BAG WARNING" WITHOUT ANY DISCREPANCIES. I SHOWED MY CAR TO NISSAN DEALER AND HE SAID THAT SENSOR FAILED , SO IT IS SHOWING WARNING. HE SAID THAT WOULD COST ME $900 BUGS. I ASKED THE DEALER TO NOT TO DO ANY WORK ON THIS . I WANT TO LET HIGHWAY SAFETY TO KNOW THIS AND TAKE ACTION ON THIS, REPLACE THE SENSOR FREELY, BECAUSE IT IS NOT DRIVER'S FAULT AND THERE IS NO WEAR AND TEAR AND REMAINING ALL WORKS FINE. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
A GREAT DEAL OF OIL IS LEAKING FROM THE FRONT SEAL ON THE TIMING COVER. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1995 NISSAN ALTIMA AND NISSAN HAS ISSUED AT LEAST THREE SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, TWO SERVICE BULLETINS WERE ISSUED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION (1995)!! THIS DEFECT REQUIRES A REPAIR COST OF APPROXIMATELY $750, AND SHOULD BE A RECALL WHERE NISSAN BEARS THE COST OF REPLACING SUCH A QUICKLY OCCURRING AND OBVIOUS DEFECT. *JB
