#740015January 27, 2001
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE OCCURS IN CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. PRIMARY SUSPECT IS WINDSHIELD MOLDING. WHEN CONTACTED, DEALER REFUSED TO PERFORM WARRANTY REPAIRS ON THIS. ACCORDING TO SALESMAN "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU PAID, ALTIMA IS QUITER THAN SENTRA" ACCORDING TO SERVICE "THE (EXCESSIVE) WINDNOISE IS NORMAL, IT'S AS DESIGNED, WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS, AND INHERITED IN BOTH 2000-2001 SENTRAS. WE WILL NOT REPLACE IT UNLESS THERE'S ATSB/RECALL FROM NISSAN". IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AS OTHER 2000-2001 SENTRA OWNERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THEY WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THEIR SENTRAS FROM DEALERS WILLING TO DO THE REPAIRS (REPLACING THE WINDSHIELD MOLDING, ETC.) THE SAME PROBLEM HAS ALSO BEEN FOUND IN ALTIMAS. *AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING - DEALER WANTS OVER $800.00 TO REPAIR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS PART OF THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. CAR WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR COMPROMISED IN ANY WAY. IN ADDITION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED AND PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE IN FOR AT LEAST 30-45 DAYS. WHAT IF IT DEPLOYS ON ITS OWN AND I CRASH INTO SOMEONE ELSE? THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO ME AND I WOULD LIKE SOME FEEDBACK OR HELP IN THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. *AK
