2007 Nissan Altima complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON HWY ** A VERY BUSY STREET THE TRANSMISSION ACTED UP. WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AFTER PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. CAR STARTED JERKING AND LOST POWER ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT. HAD TO STOP THE CAR PUT IT IN PARK TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND THEN IT WAS NORMAL FOR A SHORT BIT, THE ONCE YOU HIT 50-60 MPH THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AGAIN. WE MANAGED TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO TRY TO RESTART AND TAKE OFF AGAIN .WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS CAN OR WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE READ SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN A ACCIDENT OVER THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. WOULD HATE TO HEAR OF MY LOVE ONES OR YOURS HURT OR KILLED OVER THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THANK YOU

NISSAN WAS SUED LAST YEAR FOR DASHBOARDS OF NISSAN ALTIMAS FOR 2008 AND 2009. MY NISSAN IS A 2007. WENT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS IT CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING THAT I COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FOR YEARS MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKED. IT'S STICKY AND DISCUSTING . MY CAR HAS ALWAYS SLEPT IN THE GARAGE . I DO LIVE IN FLORIDA . I BOUGHT THE CAR IN FLORIDA . THE LAWSUIT WAS FOR FLORIDA RESIDENTS ONLY . I WANT TO KNOW WHY THESE LAWYERS WERE ABLE TO SUE NISSAN GOT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BUT ONLY SUBMITTED 2008 AND 2008 THE LAWSUIT GAVE CUSTOMERS ONLY ABOUT 5 MONTHS TO DO A CLAIM . TOTAL BOLOGNY . WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO FIGHT NISSAN ON THIS MATTER .

I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEARS NOW AND EVERY TIME I DRIVE HOME FROM LOS ANGELES MY TRANSMISSION HAS ACTED UP. I DON'T WORK, SO IT'S ONLY DRIVEN THERE OCCASIONALLY WHICH HAS HELPED IT LAST THIS LONG. NOW THE TRANNY IS OVERHEATING AND CAN'T BE DRIVEN UPHILL WITHOUT IT FAILING TO GET ME HOME WHICH IS ALMOST COMPLETELY UPHILL FOR AN HOUR. EVEN FROM BAKERSFIELD IT IS OVERHEATING NOW WHICH IT DIDN'T DO BEFORE AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THEM WITH A CHANGE TO ATF INSTEAD. IT SAYS THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY YEAR, BUT NISSAN.COM SAYS NO..WHAT CAN I DO?

THE DASH IS MELTING AND GIVING LARGE GLARE IN SUNNY DAYS ITS REALLY STICKY AND QUITE THE EYE SORE. ONLY HELP OFFERED WAS TELLING ME TO INSTALL NEW DASH AT MY EXPENSE OR COVER WHICH WOULD EVENTUALLY STICK SO YOU COULDNT REMOVE TO CLEAN07

DRIVING HOME FROM A PHYSICAL THERAPY APPOINTMENT, I ENTERED MY STREET APPS 1/4 MILE FROM MY HOUSE. I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO GO UP A SLIGHT INCLINE. AT THIS POINT THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AS THE GAS PEDEL WAS TOTALLY DEPRESSED. THE CAR CONTINUED ACCELERATING. OUT OF FEAR FOR OTHER DRIVERS, I TRIED TO TURN TO A SIDE STREET ON THE RIGHT, AN 1/8 OF MILE FROM MY HOUSE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND NOTHING ON THE GAS. THE CAR FISHTAILED CAUSING THE CAR TO SEVERE A TELEPHONE POLE AND A STOP SIGN ON THE END OF THAT STREET. THE CAR WAS TOTALLED. I WAS NOT CITED BY THE POLICE.

WALKED OUTSIDE TO NOTICE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE AND HANGING UNDERNEATH MY CAR. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY STABILIZER (SWAY BAR) WAS BROKEN AND WOULD COST NEARLY $400 TO REPLACE. AFTER RECEIVING THE NEWS, I DECIDED TO RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT A MYRIAD OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THIS ISSUE BEING TAKEN CARE OF WITHOUT HAVING TO COME OUT POCKET, CONSIDERING THAT MY DRIVING COULDN'T HAVE CAUSED THIS.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. SAW THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT STAYED ON WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED ALONG WITH THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BLINKING IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (ALL THE TIME). UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THE "VARISTOR" IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT (OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM) IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS BAD. THIS VARSITOR IS THE SWITCH THAT ENGAGES THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. THIS WAS RECALLED FOR 2007 NISSAN ALTIMAS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD MY CAR (BY VIN) WAS NOT AFFECTED. WHEN I QUESTIONED WHY I WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FOR MY REGION WOULD CALL ME. WHEN I WAS CONTACTED, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS ALREADY CHECKED AND THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED HOW MY CAR WAS CHECKED WHEN I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T AFFECTED, I WAS TOLD I COULD TAKE IT TO ANY DEALER AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE/REPAIR THE ISSUE. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE COST FOR REPAIR THE REP. TOLD ME MY CAR WAS "X" MONTHS AND "X" MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR A REQUIRED SAFETY DEVICE TO BE REPAIRED NOT A ALTERNATOR OR WATER PUMP. THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS VERY SMUG AND BASICALLY TOLD ME TOO BAD. I ASKED IF IT WOULD TAKE SOMEBODY BEING INJURED IN ONE OF THEIR CARS WITH THIS ISSUE FOR THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING

I HAD MY VEHICLE MAINTAINED AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS I TOLD THEM THAT THE VEHICLE WHINED WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THEY NEVER RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION UNDER THE 10 YR OR 120,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION JUST FAILED AT 136,000 MILES AND THE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S ALARM SYSTEM WENT OFF CONSTANTLY WITHOUT WARNING AT ALL TIMES OF THE DAY OR NIGHT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. TWO OF THE DEALERS WERE LOCATED IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE OTHER TWO WERE IN CANADA. DICK SMITH NISSAN OF ST ANDREWS (3670 FERNANDINA ROAD, COLUMBIA, SC 29210) WAS ONE OF THE DEALERS THAT WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

ADDENDUM TO COMPLAINT # 11090355 FILED 4-26-18: WHEN PROBLEM W/ACCELERATION OCCURRED 4-25-18, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE SIGN(S) CAME ON TO ALERT ME TO ENGINE DIFFICULTIES. COPY:2007 NISSAN ALTIMA W/ LOSS OF ACCELERATION AFTER HAVING BEEN DRIVING FOR 1 HR ONLY; GOING 70 MPH UPHILL ON FREEWAY TO DALLAS, TX .SPEEDOMETER REGISTERING ONLY 55-60 MPH W/ACCELERATOR PEDAL PUSHED DOWN ALL THE WAY. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON TO INDICATE A SYSTEM PROBLEM; NO ABNORMAL SOUNDS MADE. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AVERAGED 75 DEGREES. WHEN DRIVING ON LEVEL ROADS, ACCELERATION OPERATES FINE AT THIS TIME, IGNITION & BRAKING SYSTEMS ALSO WORKING CORRECTLY AT THIS TIME. WHEN DRIVING UPHILL ON BUSY FWY. W/SEMI'S & OTHER VEHICLE'S ON THE ROAD, VERY UNSAFE WHEN HAVE NO ACCELERATION ABILITY TO CHANGE LANES. THIS WILL BE REPORTED TO NISSAN HEADQUARTERS: THERE ARE NO RECALL NOTICES ON NTSA SITE AS OF YET, HOWEVER THERE ARE MULTIPLE ENTRIES OF SIMILAR PROBLEM(S) ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA THE RPM DROPS AND THE CAR LOSES POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GIVES A CODE FOR THE CATALYST CONVERTER BUT THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. ONCE THE RPM DROPS AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD START BLINKING, THE CAR JERKS AND STALL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE CAR JERKS AGAIN AND DRIVES NORMAL FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THEN IT REPEATS ITSELF.

TAKATA RECALL THE CAR OFTEN DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MINUTES AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING IT.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A LOUD NOISE FROM THE FRONT END WHILE ROLLING DOWN IN ANY SITUATION. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO INTO GEAR DUE TO A CVT FAILURE.

TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHING. THEY FOUND PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANT CONTROL UNIT SENSOR FAILURE. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION AT A COST OF $2123.88. ALSO, THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD READS 'PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF 2 ' WHEN A ADULT IS SETTING IN PASSENGER SEAT AND WON'T GO OFF. I CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WASN'T COVERED BY RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE IN THIS MATTER. I WASN'T NOTIFIED ABOUT ANY RECALL DURING THE TIME I HAD THIS CAR. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW.

TAKATA RECALL: WE WERE DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AT LESS THAN 10 MPH (WE WERE LOOKING AT HOUSES). OUT OF NOWHERE MY AIRBAGS BLEW. WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND WE LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF SOMETHING HIT US AND THERE WAS NOTHING. THERE WAS ALSO NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE TO MY CAR. NO ONE WAS HURT SINCE THERE WAS NO MOMENTUM, HOWEVER, NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY REFUSE TO SEND ME THE REPORT. I HAVE LEFT NUMEROUS MESSAGES WITH REP. DEHENRY KIDD (615-725-7639 /CASE NUMBER 29409439).I WAS ALSO TOLD THERE WAS NO ESCALATION PROCESS.

NISSAN MELTING DASHBOARD - MY DASHBOARD HAS BECOME PERMANENTLY SHINY AND STICKY TO THE TOUCH. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED FROM TENNESSEE AND DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I BROUGHT IT HOME TO FLORIDA. THE SHINE REFLECTS OFF OF THE DASHBOARD AND ONTO THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON SUNNY DAYS. I FEEL UNSAFE DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAS CAUSED FOR MANY VEHICLES. IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS SHINY DASHBOARD I WILL TAKE ACTION AGAINST NISSAN. THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN FL FOR 2008 ALTIMAS WITH THIS ISSUE BUT I DID NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE MINE IS 2007 AND I DID NOT HAVE THE CAR WHEN THE LAWSUIT WAS STILL ACTIVE. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE A CLAIM WITH NISSAN BUT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IF IT TAKES SOMEONE DYING FROM AN ACCIDENT FROM THESE MELTING DASHBOARDS THAT IS TOO FAR. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO FORCE A RECALL ON ALL MODELS AND YEARS THAT THIS EFFECTS!! 2007 ALTIMAS ARE AFFECTED BY THESE MELTING DASHBOARDS, NOT JUST 2008!! MANY 2007 OWNERS I KNOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!! I AM BEYOND FURIOUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE!!!

THE VEHICLE TAKES OVER 40 MINUTES OF DRIVING TO HAVE THE HEAT BLOWER ACTIVATE ON COLD TEMPERATURES. STARTING AND LETTING THE VEHICLE RUN IDLE FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP THIS SITUATION. HEATER WILL NOT WORK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, CAUSE THE WINDOWS TO FOG UP WHILE DRIVING AND PUTTING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN A SERIOUS SITUATION IN WHICH THEY CAN EXPERIENCE FROSTBITE FROM THE EXTREME TEMPERATURE, ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THRU THE WINDOWS AND LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE COLD CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOSE GRIP ON THE STEERING WHEEL. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE HEATING SYSTEM, SAYING THAT IS TYPICAL FOR NISSANS TO TAKE THAT LONG TO HEAT UP. NO OTHER EXPLANATION PROVIDED OR SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 79K. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF WARRANTY BY 6 MONTHS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT LOOKS LIKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. ALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE GOING OUT BELOW 85K. I REACH OUT TO NISSAN FOR ANY ASSISTANCE AND THEY SAY "NO WE ARE SORRY, AFTER LOOKING AT YOUR FILE YOU NEVER COMPLAINED PREVIOUSLY TO NISSAN WITH ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUE SO YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY." SERIOUSLY!!! YOU ALLOW THEM TO BUILD JUNK AND THEY KNOW IT AND THEY ONLY USE 10 YEARS OR 120K WARRANTY. I AM A VICTIM WITH 79K. NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BY THERE PRODUCT? I ASK YOU THIS ONE QUESTION. DO YOU THINK THAT YOU OWN A CAR WITH 79K THAT A TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED? THIS IS NOT JUST ME BUT THOUSANDS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE IS JUST PAST THE 120K MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY PERIOD AND THE TRANSMISSION/CVT BEGAN HARD-SHIFTING/CLUNKING AT AROUND 40MPH. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILING CVT AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID "YUP, THAT HAPPENS." OFFERED NO GUIDANCE, THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE CVT FOR $6,000 (PLUS SHOP FEES, TAXES, ETC.) I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL ALTIMA OWNERS AND THEY'VE HAD VERY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH CVTS FAILING BETWEEN 125K AND 140K MILES, JUST PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE FAILURE IS BIG, AND NISSAN SAYS THE ONLY OPTION IS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT - NO WAY TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS A HOLE AND CRACK PRIOR TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS HAS ALLOWED CARBON MONOXIDE TO BE SUCKED INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE HVAC SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS STOPPED OR PARKED AND RUNNING. IT HAS ALSO INCREASED THE LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EMITTED BY THE VEHICLE WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AS THE HOLE IS ALLOWING SOME EXHAUST TO EXIT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM PRIOR TO GOING THOUGH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PARKING, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

CALL HAS BEEN STALLING FOR A FEW YEARS NOW IT DOESN'T START AT ALL. A MECHANIC CAME OUT AND SAID IT'S THE FUEL PUMP.

CRACKING AND STICKY DASHBOARD. GARAGE KEPT 15% TINT ON WINDOWS AND HAVE CRACKS FROM ONE SIDE OF DASH TO OTHER AND CHUNKS OF DASH FALLING OFF AROUND CLUSTER OF GAUGES. MY CAR ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT TOO!TALKED TO NISSAN CORP, AND GOT QUITE FOR $2400!!!

I LOVE MY CAR AND JUST WANT NISSAN TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT! MY FAMILY DOESN'T THINK MY CAR IS SAFE ANYMORE AND I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT!! PLEASE PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!! THANK YOU!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVING AFTER WORK AND NOTICED MY CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN IT WOULD CHANGE GEARS...I TOOK IT NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A WARRANTY FOR CVS TRANSMISSION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED. I ONLY HAD 118,000 MILES BUT WAS OVER YEAR WARRANTY AND NISSAN TOLD ME IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO CHANGE IT BECAUSE IT WAS A CVT TRANSMISSION...SO UPSET I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE IS SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION I WOULD NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION MAKES NOISE AND STALLS HAD IT LOOKED AT BY MY MECHANIC AND HER DID A TEST DIAGNOSIS CAME UP TRANSMITION

NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 4 CYL. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN VARIOUS AREAS. MANY LENGTHY CRACKS WHICH ARE BEGINNING TO OPEN WIDER AND BECOMING LARGER. ALSO THE DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR 4 YEARS. WOULD BE NICE IF NISSAN WOULD LOOK INTO THIS DEFECT. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE DASHBOARD.

THE INTERIOR DASH AND CENTER CONSOLE IS MELTING AND HAS A HIGH GLARE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED CAUSING UNSAFE GLARE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. THE DASHBOARD IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN IN THIS STATE. HTTP://WWW.HICKEYLAWFIRM.COM/BLOG/MAJOR-SAFETY-ISSUE-WITH-MELTING-DASHBOARDS

CVT TRANSMISSION FALURE WITH NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING WRONG WHILE DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED HOME NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOING TO GET IT FIXED BC OF THE COST OF REPAIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A STRONG VIBRATION, A LOUD NOISE NEAR THE ENGINE, AND THE ENGINE MOVED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED TWO OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, STATED THAT THEY NO LONGER USED THE PROVIDER BEFORE TO THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND HAD A NEW PROVIDER WHO SUPPLIED THE PARTS WHICH PROVIDED NO SOLUTION FOR THE CONTACT BECAUSE THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

ON VACATION ABOUT 300 MILES FROM HOME GOING UP A HILL WHEN LOST POWER WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OR ROAD ONLY TO SEE A PILE OF SMOKE AFTER LOOK FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID EVER WARE WAS AFRAID IT WOULD CATCH FIRE WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE CAR AFTER THAT HAD CAR TOWED THE WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND WAS COVER UNDER THE ADD WARAINTY BUT WE ARE 175 ON THE BACK ORDER LIST AND IT WOULD TAKE 30 TO 40 DAYS TO GET PART

TOOK ROAD TRIP CAR STALLED WHILE ON HWY. STARED TO RIDE IN CRUISE CONTROL AND CRUISE CONTROL GOT STUCK AND CAR STALLED AGAIN.CHECK ENG LIGHT SAID TRANSMISSION SENSOR. CAR RESTART DROVE SOME MORE THEN CAR STALLED AGAIN. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR GO PASSED 20 MPH. TOOK TO MECHANIC THEY WORKED ON MY CAR FOR 4 MONTHS. STILL DO NOT HAVE MY CAR .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE SENSOR WAS RESET, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION AND AIR BAG SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,300.

VEHICLE LACKS SUFFICIENT ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD FOLLOWING AN EMERGENCY HARD BRAKING EVENT (WHERE THE WHEELS LOCK UP; I DO NOT HAVE ABS). ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER TO MOVE FORWARD, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR DOES LITTLE TO HELP. IT SEEMS LIKE THE CVT STAYS IN WHATEVER HIGH GEAR IT WAS WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES. I BELIEVE THIS CONSTITUTES A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOW ESSENTIALLY BLOCKING TRAFFIC, THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY/MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS TWICE NOW, BOTH WITHIN CITY LIMITS <=45 MPH. THE ONLY WAY I AM ABLE TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN IS TO STOP/START THE ENGINE OR PUT TRANSMISSION IN PARK (P) THEN DRIVE (D) TO GET THE CVT TO "RESET". SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL (N) THEN DRIVE (D) DOES NOT HELP. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION AND THEY SAY THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND NO ERROR CODES REPORTED VIA OBDII.

THE ENGINE SOMETIME STALL AND RAV HIGH WHEN TURNING CORNER

THE FRONT DOOR LOCKS ON OUR NISSAN ALTIMA WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE KEYLESS FOB. THIS LOCKING FAILURE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR WHETHER IN MOTION. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND IT'S OK. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE FAILED TO OPERATE IN THE SAME MANOR AND I HAD TO HAVE THE OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP MAKE THE REPAIR A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A DOOR ACTUATOR PROBLEM OR SOME OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I KNOW AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE MORE THAN ME AND I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF SHE NEEDS TO UNLOCK THE CAR IN A HURRY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES INVOLVE PERSONAL SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTED AND CRACKED. THE FAILURE CAUSED A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AT A COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,161.

WHEN STEP MY BRAKE COMING FROM THE FREEWAY TO GET EXIT MY STEERING SHAKING, MY SUSPENSION I HEARD SOMETHING WHEN GET ROUGH ROAD AND SEAT BEAT IN THE DRIVER SIDE CANT PULL ANYMORE

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CROCK

MY DASHBOARD HAS BECOME SOFT, MUSHY, HAS MANY CRACKS AND HAS BECOME SHINY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF I AM DRIVING DURING THE DAY AT HIGH SUN, IT IS MOST DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD DUE TO THE GLARE THAT IT MAKES ON MY WINDSHIELD.

I HAVE HAD ALL OF THE ISSUES CONCERNING POWER WITH TRANSMISSION AS OTHERS AND AM TOLD IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX THAT ALL 07 ALTIMAS HAVE. TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE RECALLED. I DO ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLE. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED.
