2006 Nissan Altima complaints

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST AND CORROSION UNDERNEATH THE SEATS IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FRONT FLOOR PANS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,163.

THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE GO OUT ABOUT ONCE A YEAR WITH NO WARNING. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THEY JUST START GRINDING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BRAKES ABOUT 10 MANY TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE. *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

I WENT TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION TODAY FOR MY 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA AND FOUND OUT THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANEL IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE METAL USED BY NISSAN AS I HAVE READ MANY ISSUES REGARDING THIS. THE COST TO REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $2500 AND I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AS NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *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

DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOOR ROTTED. *TR

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

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

DRIVER SIDE FLOOR PAN IS RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. *TR

THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS RUSTED OUT. ABOUT THE SIZE OF 12"X12".I HAVE CHECKED ON LINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH 2002-2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS IS A UNSAFE ISSUE. WHY HAS NISSAN NOT CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM?THIS WAS A ISSUE YEARS AGO WITH CARS. THE METAL MUST BE OF VERY POOR QUALITY.

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON THE APPROACH TO THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY (RT. 87 NORTH) THERE WERE SEVERAL CARS ENTERING THE NYS THRUWAY. NOT MORE THAN 2 MILES ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY NEAR EXIT 15A (SLOATSBURG) MY VEHICLE HIT A SERIES OF POT HOLES ON THE ROADWAY. MY TIRE WENT FLAT IMMEDIATELY AND I WAS ABLE TO STEER TOWARD THE SHOULDER AT MILE MARKER 31.5. I THEN PROCEEDED TO CALL MY AAA EMERGENCY SERVICE AND WENT ON TO LET THEM KNOW MY EXACT LOCATION. WHILE PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER, THERE WERE 8 - 10 VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NOTHING BUT FLAT TIRES! I WAS INSTRUCTED MY AAA SERVICE COULD NOT ENTER THE NYS AS INSTRUCTED BY THE NYS POLICE. I TAKE THIS WAY HOME NIGHTLY RETURNING HOME FROM WORK. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD, I WATCH THE ROAD MORE THAN I WATCH FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE ASAP [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON 2-17-14 I HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND ON FRIDAY HAD DEALER PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC. RESULT WAS PO 420 REPLACE MANIFOLD/BOLT AND GASKETS. THIS WAS AT 132,000 MILES BUT WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ALSO. CHANGE OIL EVERY 3000 MILES BUT END UP PUTTING IN 4 MORE QUARTS BESIDES OIL CHANGE AMOUNT BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DUE. HAD BOTH O2 SENSORS AND MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR CHANGED LAST YEAR AND PASSENGER FRONT SIDE BALL BEARING REPLACE. TWO YRS EARLIER HAD BOTH CRANK SENSORS REPLACED. MAY HAVE TO HAVE CAT CONVERTER REPLACED IF KEEPS DRINKING THE OIL BUT WAS TOLD BY DEALER IF REPLACE CAT CONVERT STILL WILL HAVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM ( SO MEANS COMPANY REALLY HASN'T FIXED PROBLEM IF HAVE IT REPLACE AND WILL STILL HAPPEN). EXPENSIVE REPAIRS CRANKS ABOUT $500, O2 ABOUT $300 EA., MASS AIRFLOW $700, AND THIS MANIFOLD PROBLEM IS $780 + 106 FOR DIAGNOSTICS. FIX PROBLEM AND LOOK AT OTHER BLOGS AND SEE MANY HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS YR OF ALTIMA. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED TO IDLE ROUGH. AT LOW SPEEDS CAR WILL SHUT OFF. IT STARTS BACK UP BUT HAS TO BE IN NEUTRAL WHEN IDLE. NISSAN DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A MONTH AND TOLD ME TO REPLACE MY ECM AND HAVE IT REPROGRAMMED. THIS STILL HAS NOT FIXED MY PROBLEM AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. NISSAN USA HAS A CLAIM ON MY ISSUE AND WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

BRAKES DO NOT ENGAGE WHEN CAR HAS BEEN LEFT IN COLD, USUALLY BELOW FREEZING. BRAKES USUALLY ENGAGE AFTER I HIT THE PEDAL ONCE, TWICE HARD. DEALERSHIP STATED MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM AND REPLACED; NOW LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER SAME THING IS OCCURRING HOWEVER NOT AS COLD AND NOT AS FREQUENT AS DURING THE MAJOR COLD SPELL IN AREA. DEALERSHIP HAS IT AGAIN OVERNIGHT TO SEE IF THEY CAN REPLICATE ISSUES. SPENT MAJOR BUCKS ON MASTER CYLINDER AND AM AFRAID TO TRUST MY CAR'S BRAKES, PLUS PERHAPS HAVING TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON A DIFFERENT ISSUE. HAVE SEEN OTHERS RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE BUT FIND NO MAJOR RECALLS; ONLY A NISSAN SERVICE CAMPAIGN AT SOME POINT TO CHECK BRAKE PADS AND MASTER CYLINDER FOR LEAKAGE. I HAVE NO IDEA IF DEALERSHIP EVER CHECKED MY PADS/MASTER CYLINDER, BEEN GOING TO SAME LOCATION FOR ALMOST 7 YEARS. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO GET INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT. BECAUSE I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT CAN DO THE REPAIR WORK FOR ME I'M LOOKING AT ABOUT 1200.00 FOR THE REPAIR. NOW THAT I'VE SEEN WHAT SOME OTHER PEOPLE ARE BEING QUOTED I GUESS THAT PRICE IS FAIR. I ALREADY HAVE EXHAUST COMING THROUGH MY FLOOR AND AM CONCERNED FOR MY HEALTH AT THIS POINT. OTHER THEN THIS ISSUE MY CAR IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. MY CONCERN IS IF I DON'T FIX THIS, MY CAR IN NOT SAFE.....SO I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AND I COULD NOT SELL IT TO ANYONE IN GOOD CONSCIOUSNESS BECAUSE I WOULD KNOWINGLY BE PUTTING SOMEONE ELSE IN HARMS WAY. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS HUGE ENGINEERING FLAW AND SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

FAILURE IS DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT, IMPROPER RUST PROTECTION OF SHEET METAL, AND WATER DRAINAGE ISSUES. *TR

AFTER HAVING THE CLUTCH PARTS REPLACED THE PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR A SMALL HANDFUL OF TIMES. NOW, IT IS NEARLY A DAILY OCCURRENCE AND IT IS CONSISTENTLY LASTING LONGER AND LONGER EACH TIME. IT STILL ALLOWS FOR SPORADIC SHIFTING IN NON SPECIFIC GEARS WHILE THE PEDAL IS ON THE FLOOR. I CAN PICK UP THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND PUT IT BACK IN PLACE BUT WHEN IT APPLY ANY PRESSURE IT FALLS BACK TO THE FLOOR AND STAYS THERE UNTIL I PICK IT BACK UP WITH MY FOOT.

HAVE HAD BATTERY REPLACED 2 TIMES, TUNE UP, CRANK SHAFT SENSOR REPLACED, BROKEN SEAL REPLACED (THAT KEEPS OIL/COOLANT) IN CAR. HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH CAR NOT STARTING, ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT WON'T START. I HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING ANTI-FREEZE IN CAR BEFORE I DRIVE IT EVERY FEW DAYS IF I DON'T THE HEATER BLOWS OUT HOT AIR, THEN COLD WHICH IS WHEN OVERHEATING OCCURS. WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF EXHAUST PIPE. BEEN TO LOCAL MECHANIC 3 TIMES, AND THEY KEEP CHARGING TO FIX IT ($500 SO FAR). THEY DID TUNE UP, REPLACE BATTERY AND FIXE THE BROKEN SEAL.

THIS PAST JANUARY, WE WENT OUT TO OUR VEHICLE IN THE MORNING & IT WOULD NOT START. HAD IT DIAGNOSED, CAME BACK AS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. WE HAD IT REPLACED. NOW IN NOVEMBER WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING A STEADY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL WHAT FEELS LIKE JUMP/SLAM INTO GEAR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON, HAD IT DIAGNOSED COMES BACK AS CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. DID RESEARCH ONLINE, COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED FOR 2002, 2005-2006 NISSAN ALTIMA CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. CONTACTED NISSAN AND WERE TOLD BY ASSOCIATE THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT EFFECTED BY THAT RECALL CAMPAIGN. I ASKED HER "IS IT NORMAL TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR TWICE WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR ", SHE DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER AND ASKED "WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM NISSAN". MY RESPONSE WAS THAT," I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN LESS THAN A YEAR, AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL, BUT NOT ON MY CAR, APPARENTLY JUST A FLUKE I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE", AND SHE SAID "MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR PROPER DIAGNOSE & REPAIR IN WHICH YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR."

I AM WRITING A COMPLAINT ABOUT RUSTED FLOOR PANS THAT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST A LOT OF OTHER "06" NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AFTER I RECENTLY HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND AN EMPLOYEE AT THE BODY SHOP POINTED OUT HOW BAD MY FLOOR PANS LOOKED. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUGE HOLES IN THE FLOORING AND IF THE CARPET WERE RIPPED OUT, I WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH THEM. IN ADDITION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RUST CAUSES MOLD TO FORM AND IT'S DANGEROUS TO BREATHE THAT AIR IN. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RE-CALL SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO EVERY OWNER WHO OWNS THIS VEHICLE. *TR

RUSTED FLOORBOARDS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

THE FLOORBOARDS OF THE DRIVER SIDE HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT POSTED ABOUT NUMEROUS TIMES ONLINE, WITH NO RESPONSE FROM NISSAN. IT SEEMS THAT ALTIMAS FROM ATLEAST 2003-2006 WERE EFFECTED. NO RECALL HAS BEEN PLACED THAT I HAVE FOUND, ALTHOUGH MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS AND DISCUSSIONS ABOUT MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

ON SEPT 3RD 2010 (LABOR DAY WEEKEND), I DROVE ON I-17 (AZ) AT ABOUT 70 MPH FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST THE ACCELERATION. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE CAR QUICKLY DECELERATE. I HAD TO TURN ON EMERGENCY LIGHT AND MOVED OUT. THEN I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD THE CODE READ. P2138, ERROR WITH PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. I HAD TO DRIVE LOCALLY TO SEND THE CAR TO THE POWER NISSAN AT TEMPE (DEALER) FOR REPAIR. THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEMS BUT TURNED OFF THE ENGINE LIGHT AND RETURNED THE CAR TO ME. ON JULY 4TH 2013 (INDEPENDENCE DAY), I DROVE ON HIGHWAY 87 AT ABOUT 70 MPH FOR 1 HOUR AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. I HAD TO DRIVE BACK AT NO MORE THAN 40MPH OR THE DECELERATION OCCURRED AT HIGHER SPEED. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AGAIN FOR CODE READING. SAME CODE P2138. THEN I SENT THE CAR TO SEARS. SEARS REPLACED GAS PEDAL SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY. ON SEPTEMBER 1ST 2013 (LABOR DAY WEEKEND), I DROVE ON HIGHWAY 101 AT 70MPH FOR 1 HOUR AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. SEARS GOT THE SAME ERROR CODE P2138. SEARS RE-TRAINED THE ELECTRONIC SENSOR PROGRAM. ON SEPTEMBER 10TH 2013, I SENT THE CAR FOR EMISSION TEST. DURING THE TEST WHEN TECHNICIAN PRESS GAS PEDAL, ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT WAS ON. SEARS GOT THE SAME ERROR CODE P2138. SEARS ASKED ME TO SEND THE CAR TO

I HAD COOLANT SERVICE AND AFTER THAT I STARTED EXPERIENCING LOW LEVELS OF COOLANT WHICH LED TO OVERHEATING OF CAR. I KEPT GETTING THE CAR CHECK TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE LEAKS. I CHECKED RECALL NOTICES AND THEN WAS TOLD I NEEDED SENSORS. I CALLED NISSAN IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS TOLD OUT OF THE 653K CARS MINE WAS NOT AFFECTED! I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. I THEN HAD SENSORS REPLACED (CRANKSHAFT AND SPEED) . NOW I'M BEING TOLD HEAD GASKET BLOWN AND ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE RECALL FROM NISSAN SAYS THERE WE ENGINE COOLING PROBLEMS. *TR

UPON CALLING MY MECHANIC,HE ADVISED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A TYPICAL PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL AND THAT HE BELIEVED THERE WAS A RECALL. I CALLED AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY NISSAN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY VIN WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. HOWEVER, NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE WHICH VEHICLES WERE ACTUALLY PART OF THE RECALL! THERE ARE MANY UNRESOLVED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS HAZARD FOR DRIVERS. WHAT IF THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH? I WOULD LIKE VERIFIABLE INFORMATION ON WHAT VEHICLES THIS RECALL COVERED, AS NISSAN SEEMS TO BE DEFLECTING SOME OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. *TR
