2000 Nissan Altima complaints

CONSUMER HAD TO USE A LOT OF FORCE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. ENGINE REVVED UP TO 2500 RPMS,NOT STOPPING AT ANY OCCASION. DEALER JUST FIXED IT & TWICE IT HAS DONE THE SAME. *AK THERE WAS SURGE IN ENGINE WHILE STOPED AT LIGHT, AND THE RPM WENT FROM 750-2500. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS SEVICED, THE PROBLEM REOCCURED. THE DEALER FOUND OUT THAT THE CAUSE WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AFTER THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. *YH

THE LINNING AROUND THE SUN ROOF IS HANGING BY GRAVITY AND THE CLOCK WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. *CJ.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-85 CROSSING THE NC LINE INTO VIR. THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE PEELED COMPLETELY OFF LEAVING ONLY 1OR 2 INCHES LEFT ON THE RIM. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATALITY. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO ALERT ALL CONSUMERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. (TIRESIZE: P205/55R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P205/55R16 )

THE FAILURE HAPPENED TWICE TODAY. I DROVE MY NISSAN ALTIMA GXE IN NEW YORK, NY ON AUG. 19, 2000 AT ABOUT 6:30PM. WHEN I WAS APPROACHING TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT SPEED ABOUT 15-20 MPH THE ENGINE DIED AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS WENT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART MY CAR. 10-15 MINUTES LATER, WHILE MOVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 15 MPH THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN AND AT THIS TIME BOTH EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND SOUND ALARM WENT OFF. I WAS LUCKY ONCE MORE TO STOP SAFELY. I TURNED OFF THE ALARM USING ALARM KEY ON THE IGNITION KEY-CHAIN AND RESTARTED CAR AGAIN. I USED ORIGINAL NISSAN IGNITION KEY WITH "SMART CHIP". GAS TANK WAS 1/4 FULL. ON JULY 22, 2000 MY CAR HAD RECOMENDED BY NISSAN 7500 MILE INTERVAL SERVICE.

CONSUMER WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT APPLIED BRAKES, AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHILE FOOT WAS ON BRAKES, CAUSING VEHICLE TO HIT TREE/ ROCKS, AND RAN INTO A CANAL.

THERE IS A LOUD NOISE/RATTLE IN THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WHEN YOU HIT BUMP. NOT MAJOR POTHOLE, JUST BUMPS IN THE ROAD. I HAVE EXPRESSED THIS CONCERN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY IT IS THE WHEEL COVERS. THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG.*AK
