SEATS
WHEN MY PARENTS FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR THE RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT WOULD BE SHAKING AT THAT TIME THE CAR HAD 52,000 MILES ON IT RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT IT ON APRIL 10TH 2012 FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME THEY CHECKED IT AND THE CAR HAS 117,000 MILES NOW AND SOMETIMES THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHAKE AND VIBRATING WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT 55 TO 60 MILES PER HOUR SO I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO A RECALL IT TO CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT. *TR

ENGINE
THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT VARIOUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT IDLE - NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, OR ACCELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SET WITH OBIDSII CODE OF PO725, FAILED CRANK ANGLE SENSOR. BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN 07V-527, AS IT IS A 2.5L 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY OF 2006. MANUFACTURER STATES NO RECALL IN EFFECT FOR THIS VEHICLE UNDER THAT CAMPAIGN, ALTHOUGH SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO CAMPAIGN RECALL ISSUE.CONTACTED MANUFACTURER, WHO STATED MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL, AS IT IS A RECALL FOR SPECIFIC LOCATIONS OF PRODUCTION, NOT JUST PRODUCTION DATES, WHICH WAS NOT REFERENCED IN THEIR DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT TO THE NHTSA. *TR

MY NISSAN ALTIMA VIN # INCLUDED SEPARATELY, HAS ABOUT 90,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS BOUGHT FEBRUARY 2007 AND HAS BEEN OWNED BY ME SINCE THEN (FIRST AND ONLY OWNER). I PERFORMED MY 90,000 MILE SERVICING TODAY AND WAS NOTIFIED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE FLOOR BOARDS ON PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE (UNDERCARRIAGE) ARE RUSTING AND I CAN SEE A HOLE OPENING UP THERE. HE SHOWED ME WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR MY CAR TO GET FIXED AT THE SHOP. THE REST OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE SEEMED FINE. THIS INDICATES A MANUFACTURING DEFECT TO ME. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE: MODERN VEHICLES OUGHT NOT TO ROT LIKE SO, AND SUCH A ROT EXPOSES THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AT GREAT RISK WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I AM GETTING EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE NOW OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS SERVED ME WELL, AND THE ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN HAS ITSELF BEEN TROUBLE FREE. HOWEVER, IF THE FLOOR BOARDS ROT LIKE THIS, I AM UNSURE ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S OVERALL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. *TR

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION TODAY AND THEY SAID IT WILL NOT PASS AS THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PANEL IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE COST FOR REPAIR IS $2500 AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS KNOWN ISSUES BY NISSAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR, THE VEHICLE YEAR IS 2006 WITH 85,000 MILES AND IS NOT EXPOSED TO SALT WATER AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A FLOOD. DEFECTIVE METAL, KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN AND NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

STEERING
I WAS TRAVELING HOME AROUND 9:45 PM FROM CHALMETTE, LA WHEN THE CAR GAVE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT IT WAS GOING TO STOP. I KEEP COASTING THE CAR HOME AND IT DIED. HAD THE CAR TOLD TO THE DEARLERSHIP IN SLIDELL, LA ON 4/3/14. I WAS ADVISED BY MR. DALE SHOCKLEY THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR. CALLED AROUND 0845 TO CHECK WHAT IS WRONG BUT THEY HAD NOT LOOKED AT IT. AROUND 11:30 MR. SHOCKLEY CALLED TO SAY THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE. I ASKED THEM HOW THAT HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE IS NO OIL UNDER MY CAR PART. THE MANAGER STATED THAT THIS JUST HAPPEN AND THEY NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO GO OUT. I ASKED THEM WHY THEY DID NOT SEE IT AND THE MANAGER STATED AGAIN THEY GO OUT UNSUCCEPLY. THESE PEOPLE WANTED TO KEEP MY CAR AND TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO COST THEM $4,045 PLUS OTHER WORK. THIS IS A DISGRACE. DID THEY SEE THIS BLACK GIRL TO ROB HER. I NEED TO KNOW IF THE PART NEXT TO THE TRANSMISSION HAS A RECALL? *JS

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAD A RECALL ON MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5L & I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN 2010 BECAUSE THE CAR ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVEN. IT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES & SEVERAL TIMES IT OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY GOING AT 60 MILES PER HOURS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER & THE CHANGED THE PART BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. AFTER BATTLING FOR MONTH TO GET MY MONEY BACK FORM THE DEALER THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING AGAIN. IN 2012. I TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BUT THEY UNDER VALUED MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL HISTORY AT $2,500. I NEED HELP & NISSAN IS REFUSING TO PAY FULL TRADE VALUE ON A RECALL. ALL I WANT IS THE PROBLEM FIX PERMANENTLY INSTEAD OF HAVING THIS ONGOING PROBLEMS. NISSAN IS NOT TAKING MY CONCERN SERIOUSLY & I AM GETTING ROB ON A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. *TR
