VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY SUN ROOF EXPLODED A VERY LOUD BOOM.GLASS FLEW OUTWARD CAUSING THE GLASS TO SCRATCH THE ROOF AND TRUNK. WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO MANGER AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. HE TOLD ME I COULD NOT PROVE THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND ME AT THE TIME OF EXPLOSION IT ALSO WAS NOT HOT. IT WAS AT 9:00 AM IN THE MORNING AND WAS 68 DEGREES. MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT. THIS WEEK OUR LOCAL NEWS STATION HAD A SEGMENT ABOUT SUN ROOFS EXPLODING ON NISSANS WITH OVER 100 REPORTS OF THE VERY SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN TO FILE A CLAIM ON MY INSURANCE AND PAY MY 500.00 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I AM UPSET THAT NISSAN DISMISSED ME KNOWING THEY ALREADY BEEN HAVING COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY 2015 ALTIMA AIRBAG LIGHTS WERE ON, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICING ON DECEMBER 23RD TO COVER THE RECALL. ON THE 29TH WITH WIFE IN CAR AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON DASHBOARD. SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IN SEAT. WIFE WEIGHS OVER 120 POUNDS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RECALL, THEIR CAR NEVER RECEIVES THE UPDATE AND CUSTOMERS HAVE TO GO BACK IN REPEATEDLY AND THE PROBLEM IS NEVER RESOLVED. SO AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY NOW WHEN MY WIFE IS A PASSENGER. NISSAN IS NOT REPLACING EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR SOME THE REPROGRAMMING WORKS. FOR OTHERS THEY NEED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRONICS. MY CAR IS GOING BACK IN FOR WHAT THEY CALL "SERVICING" AS THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PREFORMED ON THE VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN
UNFORTUNATELY , THIS IS MY SECOND ALTIMA 3.5. IN 2015 NISSAN REPLACED MY 2013 ALTIMA 3.5. I REQUESTED A REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING STUTTERING AND JERKING ISSUES CAUSING ME TO FEEL UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING.WHILE DRIVING IF I HAD TO DECELERATE IT WOULD HESITATE AND JERK OR PULL WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. THIS MAINLY HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY BUT WOULD HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.AS A MOM WITH KIDS I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE TO ME BE INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE OCTOBER2015 AND NOW IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP ON ITS 4TH ATTEMPT.I HAVE CURRENTLY REQUESTED FOR NISSAN TO HELP ME GET INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2015 ALTIMA IS VERY HARD TO TURN. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP TWICE AND REPLACED THE FLUID AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN. THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOW ON AND I STILL CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION THAT NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR. THIS CAR HAS 5200 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THE CAR ALSO HAS A VERY HIGH PITCHED WHINE NOISE THAT IS VERY ANNOYING. WE PREVIOUSLY OWNED TOYOTA CAMRYS AND I'D NISSAN DON'T TAKE CARE IF THIS PROBLEM I WILL NOT REFER THEM TO ANYBODY AND GO BACK TO TOYOTA.
