2003 Nissan Altima complaints

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP FAILED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HIPPODROME, TONY BRYANT, THE FAILURE IS CAUSED BY THE HEADLAMP OVERHEATING AND IS A PROBLEM INHERENT IN THIS VEHICLE. THE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AT A COST OF $335 WITH NO ASSURANCE THAT THE LAMP WILL NOT FAIL AGAIN. THE HEADLAMP WAS REPLACED ON DECEMBER 19, 2003, AND DECEMBER 22, 2003. THE LAMP FAILED AGAIN ON JANUARY 26, 2004 AND THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED ON JANUARY 27, 2004. *JB

THE DEBRIS/FIRE RECALL 03V084000 WAS PERFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED BOTH TIMES. *NM

CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. *LA

WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, INCLUDING THE REAR DEFROSTER AND THE HEAT, BACK WINDOW SHATTERED. *AK

I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA PURCHASED IN MARCH 2003 THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL TIMES IN THIS PAST YEAR THAT MY CAR WILL NOT START I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER THEY FOUND 2 RECALLS BOTH WERE FIXED BUT MY CAR STILL HAS DAYS WERE IT WILL NOT START. I WENT BACK TO DEALER THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TILL THEY CAN FIND OUT HOW TO FIX PROBLEM IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEY STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR THEY TOLD ME THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO RIGHT NOW! IF THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX MY CAR I SHOULD GET MY MONEY BACK OR THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT! I NEVER NO FROM DAY TO DAY IF MY CAR WILL START. *CB

WE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FUEL MILEAGE WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. IT'S A BRAND NEW 2003 ALTIMA WITH A 2.5/4-CYLINDER ENGINE THAT NISSAN ADVERTISES ON ALL THEIR WINDOW STICKERS AS GETTING 23/29. AFTER THE BREAKING PERIOD, MY FATHER STILL WAS GETTING ONLY 20 MPG SO RETURNED THE CAR ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN HILLIARD, OH & THEY AGREED TO CHECK IT OUT WHICH THEY DID & REPORTED THAT THE CAR WAS FINE & OPERATING PROPERLY. WHEN HE PICKED THE CAR UP, HE WAS GIVEN SOME PAPERS & ASSUMED THE STICKER WAS AMONG THEM, BUT WASN'T. WHEN HE REALIZED HE WAS MISSING THE STICKER, HE RETURNED TO GET IT & WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND IT. HE TOOK HIS CAMERA TO THE DEALER & TOOK PICTURES OF LIKE STICKERS ON LIKE MODEL ALTIMAS CLEARLY SHOWING THE 23/29 MPG RATING. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, HE TOOK IT IN AGAIN EXPLAINING IT WAS STILL NOT GETTING ANY BETTER MILEAGE & SOMETHING MUST BE DONE SO BONNIE, THE SERVICE MGR. THERE TOOK OVER. AGAIN THEY CHECKED IT OUT & TOLD HIM THE SAME THING...THE CAR IS PERFORMING JUST FINE & THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHY HE IS NOT GETTING THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE. HE TAKES IT IN FOR A 3RD TIME, THEY BRING HIM HOME & KEEP THE CAR FOR SEVERAL HOURS. I TAKE HIM BACK TO PICK IT UP & WE WAIT FOR BONNIE WHO TELLS US THEY HAVE EXHAUSTED EVERY METHOD THEY HAVE FOR TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THE CAR IS ONLY GETTING 20MPG. SHE AGREES TO CALL NISSAN HEADQUARTERS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR WOULD TRADE OUT CARS FOR MY DAD. SEVERAL DAYS LATER SHE CALLS ST

WHEN USING THE HEATER THE VENTS BLEW HOT AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE STOPPED, THE VENTS BLEW OUT COLD AIR. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES TRYING TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER FINALLY INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE TEMPERATURE CHANGE WAS NORMAL. *AK

I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA. I PURCHASED IT USED IN AUG. 2002. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SEVERAL THINGS. FAULTY SHOCKS, WHICH TOOK THREE VISITS AND TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS TO GET IT FIXED. AND THE LATEST PROBLEM, NOT STARTING. AND TO TOP IT OFF ON CHRISTMAS EVE STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. BAA HUM BUG, NO ONE WANTED TO HELP, THEY JUST WANTED TO HONK, LIKE I CHOSE TO "PARK" IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN, IN THE INTERSECTION. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE I AM UNCERTAIN THAT THEY FIXED THE CORRECT THING. THEY REPLACED THE STARER COIL. BUT WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. SO NEXT THEY REPLACED A SENSOR THAT IS A NEW RECALL CAMPAIGN. I PURCHASED MY CAR WITH EXSISTING RECALLS THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT. THE ONLY REASON I FOUND OUT WAS BECAUSE I CALL TO COMPLAIN TO THE FACTORY ABOUT THE TREATMENT I GOT FROM NORTH BAY NISSAN IN PETALUMA, CA. AND THE LADY I SPOKE WITH INFORMED ME OF 4 RECALLS! WHAT IS NISSANS STANDARDS FOR SELLING "CERTIFIED" USED VEHICLES??? I FEEL ROBBED. I HATE MY CAR, I DONT WANT IT, I DONT FEEL SAFE!

THE VEHICLE CRANKED UP BUT WOULD TURN OVER. THERE WAS A RECALL (03V4555000) FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR WELD BUT THE VIN NUMBER WAS OUTSIDE THE REMEDY SCOPE.

DEALER STILL HASN'T MADE CONTACT ABOUT A REPAIR ON A PARTICULAR RECALL. VEHICLE IS STILL WITH THE DEALER. *LA THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TOT HE DEALER FOR RECALL REPAIRS BUT WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THEY LACKED ALL THE PARTS AND INFORMATION TO PERFORM THE WORK. THE CONSUMER REQUEST INFORMATION ON ANY OTHER LOCAL DEALERS THAT WOULD BE CAPABLE OF PERFORMING THE RECALL. *PH *NM

GASOLINE SMELL AROUND VEHICLE DUE TO LEAK ON EXHAUST PIPES. *LA THE DEALER SUGGESTED THAT THE LEAKING WAS DUE TO FAULTY FUEL TANK GAS VALVES. *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT ANY SPEED, CAUSING CONSUMER TO LOSE CONTROL, AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. DRIVER MADE CONTACT WITH DEALERSHIP ON SEVEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK CONSUMER NOTED THAT SINCE PURCHASE THERE HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AFTER A PART IN THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. ON MORNING WHILE DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED WORKING. CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING NEXT TO THE CARPOOL LANE HOPING NO ONE WOULD HIT THE VEHICLE. *PH

I GOT A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA ON 9/1/03. ON THE 10/10/03 IT STARTED STALLING. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS A DAMAGED SPARK PLUG. THE SAME THING HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY. I TOOK IT BACK. A BUTTERFLY VALVE HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS LOST SOMEWHERE IN THE ENGINE. I WAS INFORMED OF TWO RECALLS, AND I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. NISSAN GAVE ME A RENTAL FOR 5 DAYS, BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR ANYMORE. IT TOOK 7 DAYS TO DELIVER THE ENGINE. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO RENT A CAR, SO I HAD TO BORROW MY SISTER'S CAR TO GET WORK. ONCE IT CAME ONE OF THE PARTS WAS WRONG. THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CATALOGS, AND THE PART WAS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THEY WOULD NOT AGREE TO A RENTAL. I CALLED NISSAN MYSELF. AFTER WAITING FOR 24 HOURS WHILE THEY REVIEWED MY FILE I WAS DENIED A RENTAL BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW LONG I WOULD BE. THE LADY WAS VERY RUDE. I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 24-48 HOURS FOR THEM TO RETURN MY CALL. I WAITED A WEEK AND CALLED BACK. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY SHOULD BE CALLING ME THAT DAY OR THE NEXT. I HAVE STILL NEVER HEARD FROM THEM, AND IT IS DECEMBER 4 2003. I AM JUST GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM THE NISSAN COMPANY. I HAVE BEEN GETTING PHONE CALLS FROM NISSAN TELLING ME THE PART WILL BE IN A CERTAIN WEEK, BUT STILL NO PART. ON NOVEMBER 19TH THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A CAR, AND THEN ON NOVEMBER 20TH THEY GOT NISSAN TO GIVE ME A RENTAL. SO BETWEEN OCTOBER 25TH UNTIL NOVEMBER 19TH I HAVE HAD TO BORROW A CAR FROM MY SISTER. BOTH OF US COMMUTE, HER TO SCHOOL, AND ME TO W

WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE DRIVER WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HIT A GATE. THE CONSUMER MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO OCCASIONS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. PLEASE ADD ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *NLM

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER CONSUMER'S VEHICLE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG ALSO DEPLOYED, BUT THE DRIVER SUSTAINED AN INJURY TO THE HEAD. *AK

I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S AND @ 3900 MILES THE RADIATOR WENT BAD , NOW @ 4800 MILES THE RADIATOR IS BAD AGAIN. DEALER IS VERY UNHELPFUL OF SITUATION AND ACTS LIKE THEY DON,T WANT TO FIX.GERMAINE NISSAN IS 2 HOURS AWAY FROM MY HOME , ONLY BOUGHT FROM THEM BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE A RESPECTABLE DEALERSHIP.IT PUTS ALMOST 150 MILES ON MY CAR TO DRIVE IT UP THER AND BACK,AND THEY SAY I DON,T QUALIFY FOR A LOANER CAR.*AK

I HAD MY BRAND-NEW 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA FOR 4 DAYS, AND HAD ONLY 300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THERE WAS A LEAK IN MY POWER STEERING FLUID TANK, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE VERY STIFF, ALMOST UNSTEERABLE WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. AFTER MY PUMP WAS REPLACED, THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCURRING AGAIN, AFTER 2 DAYS OF BEING FIXED. I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THEN THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE RESERVOIR. THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING AFTER THE CAR WAS 4 DAYS OLD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT VERY ACCOMMODATING, CONSIDERING THIS PROBLEM AROSE 4 DAYS AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED. *LA

ON MY 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA THERE IS A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT IS ENGAGED. IT'S VERY ANNOYING AND IF I HOLD AND APPLY PRESSURE THE SQUEAKING WILL STOP. IT'S NOT A CONTINUOUS SQUEAK; HOWEVER, IT'S WHENEVER I MOVE OR WHENEVER THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED. ON 10/07, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER'S SPRAYED SOME SORT OF "DRY" LUBRICANT....BUT STILL SQUEAKS. I THINK I NEED A WHOLE NEW PART INSTALLED. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE WHOLE SEAT BELT, BUT THE PART THAT THE SEAT BELT HOOKS INTO NEXT TO THE DRIVERS SEAT. IT DRIVES ME NUTS! *LA

CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH. UPON IMPACT, ONLY THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. DRIVER SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES CAUSED BY HIS HEAD HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL.*AK

WHENEVER I TRY TO START MY ENGINE THE ENGINE DOESN'T RESPOND. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM BUT THE IGNITION DOESN'T SEEMS TO WORK SOMETIME. I HAD THIS PROBLEM ALMOST 3 TIMES AND THE CAR IS VERY NEW. I BOUGHT THE CAR THIS YEAR DURING FEB. *LA

CONSUMER WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT RADIATOR LEAKS COMING FROM THE HOSE CLAMP AREA AND THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR. DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN INFORMED; HOWEVER, THEY TOLD CONSUMER THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED AND ACCELERATED TOWARDS TRAFFIC. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL TO STOP. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 6 DAYS BUT COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK *SCC *NLM

I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM BECAUSE IS MAKING A NOISE AND WHEN IT'S PARKED IT'S MAKING A NOISE EVEN MORE WORSE. OF COURSE AS ALWAYS THE PEOPLE I SPOKE TO SAID THAT IS NORMAL. THE NOISE THAT MY CAR MAKE IS LIKE IF THIS WAS A DIESEL CAR. *LA

I HAD MY CAR IN PARK. I WENT TO CLOSE MY GARAGE DOOR AND HEARD A NOISE FROM THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN IT STARTED GOING IN REVERSE. I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR AND GOT PINED UNDER AND THE CAR TOOK ME WITH IT ABOUT 15 FEET. I KNOW THE CARS GEARS SLIPED IT COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED ANY OTHER WAY.

CONSUMER STATED WINDSHIELD HAD SOME DISTORTION. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THEY WERE LIKE HEAT WAVES IN THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CAUSED A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. THE SALESMEN NOTICED IT ON THE SECOND DAY ALONG WITH OTHER NEW ALTIMA'S ON THE LOT. THE CONSUMER DIDN'T NOTICE IT UNTIL THE SECOND DAY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED BUT NOTHING WAS DONE AT THAT TIME. *PH *JB

I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5 SE. THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAS NOW FAILED TWICE, THE SECOND TIME THE CAR JUST DIED WHILE DRIVING! FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A BIG-RIG FOLLOWING ME, OR MOST LIKELY I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TODAY. THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP WITH THE PART ON BACK ORDER, WHICH TELLS ME THAT THEY (NISSAN) ARE HAVING LOTS OF FAILURES WITH THIS PART. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND FELL THAT A RECALL ON THIS ITEM SHOULD AT LEAST BE INVESTIGATED. THANKS, RONALD J. COLFER. *NLM

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION. *AK

DEFECT REPORT SUBMITTED 2002-2003 NISSAN ALTIMA EXHAUST PIPE HANGER PIN MAY CATCH DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD WHICH COULD BE IGNITED BY CONTACT WITH THE MAIN CATALYST.*MR *TS

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. DEALER KEPT VEHICLE OVER FOUR MONTHS AND COULD NO DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *AK

A/C COMPRESSOR DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE MANUAL SELECTOR SWITCH IS MOVED FROM THE DEFROST POSITION. THIS IS COVERED BY A SERVICE BULLETIN NTB03-048 DATED 5-6-03 FROM NISSAN CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOTED AS A CHANGE IN OPERATION FROM EARLIER MODELS AND I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS. THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE THE COMPRESSOR AFTER USING THE DEFROSTER IS TO STOP THE CAR, MOVE THE SELECTOR SWITCH TO ANY FUNCTION THAT IS NOT DEFROSTER RELATED, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR. IF YOU DON'T THERE IS AT LEAST A 10% LOSS IN MILEAGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING AND THE TEMP SELECTOR MUST BE ADJUSTED UP OR THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE WILL FREEZE. THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY MY WIFE AND I ON OUR WAY THROUGH CHICAGO ON I-94. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SIMPLE WARRANTY PROBLEM THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET FIXED UPON MY RETURN TO WAUKESHA. THE SERVICE BULLETIN MAKES IT SEEM THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THE CONSUMER WILL JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON I FEEL THIS IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY BUT JUST ANOTHER WAY THE CAR MANUFACTURER HAS DECIDED TO CUT CORNERS AND NOT MAKE TWO DIFFERENT RELAYS FOR THE MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL VEHICLES. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO CARRY BLANKETS AROUND IN MY CAR TO KEEP ME WARM IN JUNE AND JULY BECAUSE MY A/C WILL NOT SHUT OFF UNLESS I RESTART MY ENGINE. WHAT FOOL WOULD DO THAT ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THIS IS NOT A DEALER PROBLEM, THIS WAS IN THE VEHICLE W

WE PURCHASED A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA S ON NOVEMBER 12, 2002. WE NOTICED A ROUGH VIBRATION WHEN WE ARE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN DRIVE AND WHEN WE HAVE IT IN PARK. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY TO BE CHECKED AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. WE WANTED TO EXCHANGE THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ALTIMA OF SAME VALUE BECAUSE WE HAVE FRIENDS WITH 2002-2003 ALTIMAS AND THEY ARE NOT HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY STILL CONTINUE TO SAY IT IS NORMAL. ALSO, WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN YOU TAKE OFF IT HESITATES BEFORE IT PICKS UP SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CHANGING OUT SMOOTHLY. WE AREN'T HAVING ANY LUCK WITH THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED IT FROM. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS AFTER THEY GET YOUR $20,000 + CHECK. I REALLY THINK THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER WAY FOR CUSTOMERS TO RECEIVE QUALITY SERVICE FROM THESE DEALERSHIPS AFTER PURCHASE. WE FEEL LIKE WE PURCHASE A 2003 LEMON AND WE THINK THAT NISSAN CORP. SHOULD MAKE THESE DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE SELLING THEIR PRODUCTS SATISFY THE CUSTOMER BEFORE/AFTER THE SALE. *TT

NAR 04/28/2003 MR THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A MECHANICAL FAILURE, THAT WOULD REQUEST A NEW VEHICLE UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. *CB

2003 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 3,539 MILES ON JAN 17TH MY WIFE DROVE IT OUT FOR THE GROCERY SHOPPING. WHEN SHE CAME BACK SHE PARKED THE CAR ON THE DRIVE WAY IN 'P' WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AS SHE WAS TO GO OUT AFTER UNLOADING THE SHOPPING BAGS FROM THE TRUNK. SHE GOT OFF FROM THE CAR AND OPENED THE TRUNK AND UNLOADED THE SHOPPING BAGS AND TOOK THEM TO THE KITCHEN THROUGH THE GARAGE. SHE TOOK FEW BAGS EACH TIME TO THE KITCHEN SO SHE TRAVELED FEW TIMES FROM THE CAR TO THE KITCHEN. THEN SHE WALKED TO THE MAILBOX AND THEN TOOK THE LAST BAG FROM THE TRUNK AND AFTER CLOSING THE TRUNK WALKED TO THE KITCHEN. SOON LATER SHE OPENED THE KITCHEN DOOR AND WALKED INTO THE GARAGE WHEN SHE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS COMING TOWARD HER. IT HAPPENED SO FAST AND AS SHE LOOKED AT THE CAR SHE GOT PARALISED AND THE CAR BUMPED INTO THE WATER HEATER BASE AND STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND IN 'P'. MY WIFE DIDN'T GET HURT BY 1/16" OR SO... MY DAUGHTER RAN TO THE CAR TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND VERIFIED IF THE CAR WAS IN 'P' OR NOT. IT WAS IN 'P' AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE PANEL SHOWING 'P' TOO!! I TOOK SOME PICTURES OF IT SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO AT THAT MOMENT. MY WIFE WAS IN SHOCK. SO I STAYED WITH HER THAT EVENING AND RIGHT NEXT DAY EARLY MORNING TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPT CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND TOLD ME AND TO MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER THAT WE HAVE TO USE OUR INSURANCE TO FIX THE DA
