2009 Nissan Altima complaints

DASHBOARD IS MELTING, STICKY AND IS DISCOLORING INSIDE WINDSHIELD. THE SUN REFLECTS OFF STICKY DASH. BROWN STICKY SUBSTANCE WON'T CLEAN OFF. ELECTRICAL DISPLAY BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL GOES OFF AND ON. MOSTLY IS OFF.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY 'NO AIRBAG'. PROBLEM SINCE 2014; ALONG WITH STEERING LOCK FAILURE (FIXED), ALONG WITH MANIFOLD EXHAUST PROBLEM(FIXED). WINDSHIELD WIPERS KEEP WEARING OUT, LEFT DRIVER SIDE BECAUSE BLADE IS TOO TIGHT; BRAKES VIBRATE WHEN STOPPING,;CAR VIBRATES AT 70 MPH, AND CAR SOUNDS LIKE WIND TUNNEL WHEN DRIVING HIGHWAY YET WINDOWS ARE UP.

IN THE WARM WEATHER 80 AND ABOVE THE CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE AND STARTS TO LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS THERE IS NO POWER WHICH IS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAYS LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS THERE IS NO POWER WHICH HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAYS

START STOP BUTTING IS STUCK IN LOCK POSITION THEREFORE NOT STARTING THE CAR. FOBS DOOR UNLOCK, LOCK, TRUNK AND PANIC BUTTONS WORK BUT CAR DOES NOT TURN ON. CAR WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN FOB IS INSERTED IN THE LEFT HAND SIDE INSERT EITHER. HAPPENED AT 67 EAST SHORE ROAD, HOLBROOK MA AFTER CAR WAS SHUT OFF FOR THE NIGHT. NEXT MORNING IT DIDN'T READ THE KEY.

I HAVE HAD THE CAR 2-3 YEARS NOW AND THE TIRES HAVE LOOSENED UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING AND HAD TO DO SOME KIND OF STEERING COLUMN LOCK WORK, IT IS RUSTING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR PANEL, AND THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OF IT WHICH HAPPEN ON THE ROAD AT WORK WITH TWO OF MY CLIENTS. WHICH THE CLIENTS BOTH ARE DIAGNOSED WITH A DISABILITY. VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN AND YOUR CAR STOPS INFRONT OF ONCOMING CARS. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR TRADEGY.IF ONLY NADSAN WOULD HAVE FIXED THAT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM MANY YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM( MALFUNCTION) AND NISSAN WILL NOT BUDGE ONE BIT TO HELP FIX THE TRANSMISSION UNLESS I PAY DIAGNOSTICS AND A TRANSMISSION BILL OF OVER 5400.00. WHO EVER HEARD OF A TRANSMISSION COSTING THAT MUCH MONEY? THEY ARE THE WORST AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN EVER AGAIN. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIT BELL. AND MY AIR BAG GOING OFF NO ACCIDENT I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR DAT THE RESET THAT FOR $ 125.00 THE TELL ME NEXT TIME I HAVE TO PAY $ 2745.00 TO FIX THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG, IF THE AIR BAG GOING OFF AGAIN I WONT TO NO WHY BECAUSE MY CAR NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT

STEERING LOCK FAILURE WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO START UP ON 09 NISSAN ALTIMA. ELECTRICAL WORKS BUT ECSL DOESN'T ALLOW SENSOR TO START THE CAR. CAR WAS STATIONARY, IN THE PARKING LOT. FINDING NOW THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENT ISSUE WITH MANY MAKES/YEARS OF NISSAN VEHICLES.

MY WIFE AND TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS WERE STRANDED FOR A TIME DUE TO A SUDDEN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING LOCK MECHANISM. THIS SUDDENLY MADE THE CAR INOPERABLE AND LEFT THEM OUT IN 102 TEXAS SUMMER HEAT. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE. WE BOUGHT OUR CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP IN 2014 AND WE NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE OR ANY POTENTIAL WARRANTY EXTENSION. THIS IS A $500 PART (EXCLUDING LABOR AND TOWING FEES) THAT CAN AND HAS STRANDED PEOPLE WITH LITTLE TO NO NOTICE. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE?

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AT 70 MPH, SPEED DROPPED TO APPROX 30-40 MPH. I HAD THE PEDAL TO THE MAT AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER THAN 30-40 MPH. TOOK IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL, IT STILL WOULDN'T PICK UP SPEED WITH THE PEDAL TO THE MAT. SUDDENLY CAR ACCELERATED TO APPROX 80-90 MPH AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL FOR AT LEAST 30-60 SECONDS. THE SPEED THEN DROPPED AGAIN TO 30-40 MPH FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES UNTIL IT WOULD TAKE OFF AGAIN. IT WOULD ACCELERATE FOR ONLY ABOUT 30-60 SECONDS THEN WOULD LOSE POWER AGAIN AND WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 30-40 MPH. TRIED TO RESET CRUISE CONTROL AND STILL WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. IF TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE IN NORMAL TRAFFIC, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT VERY EASILY. THIS HAPPENED LATE AT NIGHT WITH NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CREATING A DANGEROUS GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD. I JUST HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT THIS PAST WEEK DUE TO THE GLARE BEING SO BAD THAT IT INTERFERES WITH MY EVERYDAY DRIVING. I AM LIVING WITH FEAR EVERY TIME I COMMUTE ANYWHERE WITH THIS VEHICLE WHOM I'VE OWNED EVER SINCE I BOUGHT FROM THE NISSAN DEALER.

DASHBOARD IS SHINY AND LOOKS LIKE MELTING. THE SHINY DASHBOARD CAUSES THINGS TO STICK TO IT AND HAS UNKNOWN STICKY SUBSTANCE 'MELTED' ON IT. THIS CAUSES GLARES AND DIFFICULTY SEEING OUT OF FRONT WIND SHIELD WHEN DRIVING- PRIMARILY WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 YEARS AND GETTING WORSE IN THE TEXAS SUN.

WHEN IT'S REALLY HOT OUTSIDE AND I DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS MY CAR STARTS TO LOSE POWER. WHEN HOLDING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR MUCH CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO STOP AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR 20 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN DRIVE. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOESN'T EVER SAY THAT THE CAR IS HOT THOUGH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. EACH TIME ON A HOT DAY AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2012 SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR I NOTICED SOMETHING DIDN'T FEEL QUITE RIGHT I CALLED THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE THEY ASSURED ME EVERYTHING WAS OKAY BUT THEN IN 2016 I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN ABOUT THE WHINING NOISE AGAIN AND WHEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE HOW MY CAR WOULD JUST SLOW DOWN WITH NO WARNING CAUSING THE TRACTOR TRAILER TRAVELING BEHIND ME TO THINK QUICKLY AND JUMP INTO ANOTHER LANE OR ELSE I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TO BE WRITING YOU. THE NEXT INCIDENT WAS AFTER I EXITED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN ONCE I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET CAUSING A CAR COMING AROUND THE CURVE TO QUICKLY EXIT ONTO THE INTERSTATE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. WHEN I EXPLAINED ALL OF THIS TO NISSAN THEY ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND I SAID WHY WASN'T THIS SOMETHING YOU SEND OUT TO CONSUMERS BECAUSE IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THEN THIS ISN'T THE FIRST INCIDENT. AT THE TIME I REPORTED THIS I HAD 119,876 MILES ON MY CAR THE REP PROCEEDED TO TELL ME I WAS PAST THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I SAID WHAT EXTENDED WARRANTY I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN REFERENCE TO THIS. NEEDLESS TO SAY NISSAN NEVER FOLLOWED BACK UP WITH ME AND I REACHED OUT TO THEM AGAIN RECENTLY ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND TOLD THEM NOBODY EVER FOLLOWED UP AND I WAS ALMOST HIT ONCE AGAIN DUE TO LOSING POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. TOOK THE CAR IN TO A NISSAN SERVICE DEPART EXPLAINED THE ISSUE ONCE AGAIN T

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT MY AIR BAG DASH LIGHT WAS BLINKING. SO I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SHOP AND HAD IT DIAGNOSED FOR $125 (OF COURSE) THEN THE SERVICE ADVISER STATES THAT A SENSOR IN MY PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT WORKING AND IT CANNOT DETERMINE IF AN ADULT OR A CHILD IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER CHAIR. IN ORDER FOR ME TO FIX IT I'D HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THE WHOLE CHAIR ASSEMBLY. I SAID WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SO IF THE AIR BAGS DON'T DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT WHY SHOULD I BE LIABLE WHEN IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND NOT THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY. I MAINTENANCE MY VEHICLE EVERY TIME ON THE MONEY AND TO HAVE A SIMPLE SENSOR COST ALMOST $3,000 I DON'T THINK SO.

TRANSMISSION FAILED. WILL NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE. WAS IN MOTION DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO WORK. THANK GOODNESS IT DID NOT HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. NISSAN HAS DENIED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

ON OR ABOUT APRIL 4, 2015, L NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE STEERING LOCK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED NISSAN ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS REGARDING THE REPAIR WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED TO MY VEHICLE. LN RESPONSE, THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM NISSAN ADVISED THEY WOULD OPEN A CLAIM AND INVESTIGATE THE MATTER FURTHER. I WAS ULTIMATELY TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WORK WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY NISSAN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AS OF SEPTEMBER 2014. LN FACT, L WAS ADVISED THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED FOR ANOTHER YEAR BECAUSE OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, TO MY DETRIMENT, THE STEERING LOCK IN MY VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED PAST THE WARRANTY DATE. THE PARTICULAR DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE IS A DEFECT OCCURRING IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, FOR WHICH THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED. IN FACT, THE STEERING LOCK HAS SINCE BEEN ALTERED IN FUTURE MODELS TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT, WHICH DEMONSTRATES THAT NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE OF THE DEFECT IN THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, YET CHOSE TO DO NOTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. DESPITE MY AMICABLE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE NISSAN REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR WORK THAT WAS DONE TO THE STEERING LOCK, OF WHICH NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR SAID REPAIRS AMOUNTING TO $1,098.06. I RECENTLY CONTACTED NISSAN AGAIN BECAUSE NISSAN HAS NOW ISSUED A RECALL CONCERNING THIS SAME PROBLEM (STEERING LOCK M

TRANSMISSION FAILED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY TOOK A TRANSMISSION FLIUID SAMPLE AND SENT TO NISSAN FOR TESTING. NISSAN DENIED WARRANTY CLAIMING THE FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED. THEY WANT $5400 FOR REPAIR. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

THE DASHBOARD IN MY NISSAN IS LITERALLY LIQUIFYING OVER THE LAST 7 MONTHS. THIS APPEARS TO BE KNOWN ISSUE THAT RESULTED IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN FL AGAINST NISSAN THAT WAS WON FOR THE PLANTIFFS. THERE IS FACEBOOK GROUP FOR NISSAN MELTING DASH BOARDS AND A NEWS STATION COVERED THE STORY: HTTPS://WWW.CLICK2HOUSTON.COM/CONSUMER/DRIVERS-WANT-STICKY-DASHBOARDS-FIXED I CONTACTED NISSAN, WHO REFERRED ME TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY DOCUMENTED ISSUE AND I WAS ULITMATELY REFERRED TO CAMERON, A REGIONAL NISSAN QA REPRESENTATIVE. I WAS TOLD AT THT TIME THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE. I DID VERY CLEARLY (AND POLITELY) DESCRIBE THE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE MELTING DASHBOARD CAUSES A HORRIFIC GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I DO INDEED UNDERSTAND THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT GIVEN THE SAFETY HAZARD PIECE, I WAS HOPING THAT NISSAN WOULD STAND BY THIER PRODUCTS IN THIS CASE AND CONSIDER GENERATING A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. TOYOTA HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE AND OFFERED FULL REPLACEMENT.

CARBON BUILD-UP ON VALVES CAUSING MISFIRE AND THE BREAK DOWN OF THE CATALYST. CODES P0300 AND P0303 STORED IN ECM. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF LONG ENGINE ASSEMBLY AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD. INITIALLY, DEALERSHIP CITED NEED TO REPLACE IGNITION COIL, SOFTWARE UPDATE, FUEL LINE FLUSH. PICKED UP CAR AND IMMEDIATELY THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND CAR BEGAN TO MISFIRE. RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP WHO SURMISED THAT THERE MIGHT BE A LOOSE WIRE. NOT THE ISSUE. DEALER CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE FOR DIRECTION WITH DIAGNOSTICS. CAR MILEAGE 59,802.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK. THE ONLY WAY TO START MY CAR AT THIS POINT IS TO BANG ON IT WITH A HAMMER TO GET STARTED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,000.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD, AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE OCS SYSTEM FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD FAILED, AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $2500 TO REPLACE THE CUSHION SEAT. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO AN AIRBAG RECALL INVOLVING 2013-2016 ALTIMA, AS WELL AS OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DISABLE DUE TO A SENSOR MALFUNTION THAT IS VERY DANGWRKUS IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT

DASH BOARD RECALL - I BOUGHT MY ALTIMA USE BACK IN 2016. I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN TO GET IT SERVICED AND ASKED ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE DASH BOARD WHICH THE AGENT FURTHER TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS A CLAIM LAST YEAR FOR THE DASH BOARD ISSUE, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT THE ISSUE UNTIL I BROUGHT IT IN 04/13/2018. THE DASH BOARD AND GEAR SHIFT ARE BOTH STICKY AND CAUSING HARM WHEN DRIVING. NISSAN NOR THE THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT NEVER REACHED OUT BY SENDING S MAIL THAT THEIR PARTS WAS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION.

2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLE REPAIRS. *LD *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, A LOUD HUMMING NOISE AND A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD AS WELL AS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER LE BLANC NISSAN OF GONZALES LOUISIANA IN THE MONTH OF JUNE 2017, THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A BAD IGNITION COIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THEN.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK WON'T ALLOW ME TO TURN CAR ON.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BLINKING ON AND OFF. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SENSOR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSING A GLARE TO MY WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO VISIBLY SEE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING BUT IT DEFINITELY CAUSING A PROBLEM FOR ME TO SEE CLEARLY.

CAR WILL NOT START DUE TO THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK, IT WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME.

MY AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK ON THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE. THEY HAVE STOPPED WORKING FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE LIGHT IS STEADY BLEAKING ON THE DASH SHOWING ITS NOT WORKING.

NISSAN WAS A CAR I REALLY TRUST, BUT FROM NOW MY OPINION CHANGED. I BOUGHT MY NEW NISSAN IN 2009 FROM A NISSAN DEALER. AFTER FOUR YEARS OF USE (2013) THE NISSAN RELEASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A EN ELECTRONIC PIECE THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL (THE FAMOUS ESCL). MY CAR STOP WORKING DUE TO THIS ISSUE, IT COULDN'T TURN ON BECAUSE WAS LOCKED BY THE FAULTY ELECTRONIC PIECE. I USE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OK EVERYBODY HAPPY, FOUR YEARS LATER 2017, SAME PROBLEM, SAME PIECE, SAME ISSUE (FAULTY ESCL) COST: $1,100.00 CALLED NISSAN, I SUBMITTED ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION (INSURANCE CARD, BILL TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE, ) I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS THEY DON'T TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE PIECE HAS ALREADY BEEN CHANGED BY ANOTHER DEFECTIVE (THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL) ESCL PIECE THAT LAST 4 YEARS. I REALLY THINK VERY DISSAPOINTED HOW NISSAN TREAT ITS CUSTOMERS. THIS IS MY THIRD CAR I BUY THROUGH NISSAN, I AM REALLY RECONSIDERING MY NEXT CAR TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR BRAND. NISSAN FAULTY PIECES SHOULD NOT BE RE-USED TO FIX ISSUES MOMENTARILY.

STEERING LOCK MECHAINISM. CAR WONT START

TAKATA RECALL : VEHICLE JERKS UNEXPECTEDLY AND ABRUPTLY SLOWS DOWN. 35/MH...CITY STREET.

TRANMISSION STOP WORKING AND LEAK JUST BOUGHT AND NOW 2 YEARS LATER WENT OUT

THE CAR STEERING LOCKS UP AND YOU CAN'T START THE CAR

MY CAR WOULDN'T START. THE ESCL BOX LOCKED UP FOR 3 DAYS! NOW I HAVE TO PAY $150 TO HAVE IT FIXED PER MY WARRANTY COMPANY. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR 60 WHOLE DAYS, AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES WITH VERY LITTLE SUCCESS AND A LOT OF FRUSTRATION AND TIME LOST! PLEASE CALL ME. WILL YOU PAY FOR THE $150 WARRANTY FEE? I HAD IT TOWED TO CARMAX NORCROSS MONDAY MORNING. IT'S WEDNESDAY. I'VE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR 5 DAYS NOW!!! [XXX] SINCERELY [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING WHEEL LOCKED.

TAKATA RECALL - ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS NOT YET BEEN AFFECTED BY HE RECALL I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL BE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IS FAULTY WHICH AFFECTS THE AMBER DASHBOARD PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FROM WORKING PROPERLY WHICH THEREFORE WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT. OR MORE SO ALLOWING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SENSOR DISARMS THE WHOLE AIRBAG SYSTEM FROM WORKING PROPERLY WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

WON'T START ESLC STEERING WHEEL LOCK DEFECTIVE. PURCHASED CAR THEN STOPPED AT GAS STATION TURNED OFF CAR WON'T START AGAIN. SHOWED YELLOW KEY FLASHINGS LIGHT ON DASH.

ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. WOULD NOT START. STRANDING WIFE IN 0 DEGREE TEMPERATURES.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON/OFF WARNING LIGHT (YELLOW) ON THE CENTER OF THE DASH LIGHTS UP INTERMITTENTLY. THIS OCCURS EVEN IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF.

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT NOW SITS IN MY GARAGE. I WENT TO LEAVE TO RUN ERRANDS AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START. MY HUSBAND FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE THE ESCL - ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I FOUND QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE ESCL. FOR ONE, IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL MY STEERING LOCK JUST WENT OUT ON MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST YEAR HOWEVER I DID NOT KNOW IT HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP UNTIL 2015 FOR THE STEERING LOCK IF THIS CAR IS STILL BEING SOLD THROUGH DEALERSHIPS IT SHOULD BE TOLD TO THE BUYER OF ANY RECALL ISSUES THAT HAVE WENT ON PRIOR HOWEVER I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND I HAVE A $1,200 PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONE YEAR AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP IFILE TO HAVE TO PAY ALL THESE EXPENSES OUT OF MY POCKET WHICH IS NOWHERE RIGHT

TRAVELING ON A CA FREEWAY THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY LOSES POWER DUE TO TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE UNTIL IT COOLED DOWN. THE CAR HAD 85,000 MILES AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SO A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. 2 YEARS AND 60,000 MILES LATER WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILS PUTTING THE DRIVER IN DANGER OF TRYING TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

THE KEY FOB FOR THE 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA WORKS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS, BUT IT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH THE KEY SYMBOL INDICATING AN ERROR. I WENT TO GO START MY VEHICLE MAYBE AN HOUR AFTER I HAD JUST USED IT TO GET HOME AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. WHEN THE PUSH TO START BUTTON IS PUSHED, NOTHING HAPPENS. IT IS ESSENTIALLY LIKE THE CAR DOES NOT SENSE THE KEY. THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE STEERING LOCK ON THE VEHICLES AND IS A COSTLY REPAIR THAT APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON.

ESCL HAS GONE OUT TWICE NOW. FIRST TIME NISSAN REPAIR AT THEIR COST. THIS TIME THEY WON'T REPLACE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN KNOWS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART. I HAD TO PAY TOWING CHARGE AND REPLACE ESCL FOR THE SECOND TIME!! $1000 FIX.

CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE COMPLETELY TOTALED. IT WAS DRIVEN LESS THAN 2 MILES PARKED AND SHUT OFF. WITHIN 15 MINUTES THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

I LOVE MY ALTIMA. BUT RECENTLY IT'S AN EXPENSIVE PAIN IN THE NECK. RECENTLY MY AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID MY AIRBAG SENSORS ARE NOT WORKING. SINCE THE SENSORS IS IN THE SEAT, I HAVE TO PAY $3,100 TO REPLACE THE BOTTOM CUAHION IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. MY HAS WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WAS NO MOISTURE IN MY CAR TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ALTIMAS HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX AND THERE'S TOO MANY NISSAN OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR 2009 NISAAN ALTIMAS PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR FAILURE. NISSAN NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

I CAN'T GET MY CAR TO START BECAUSE IT WON'T RECOGNIZE MY KEY. NISSAN HAS A CAMPAIGN AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO HELP SOME OF THE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WHOSE VEHICLE WON'T START DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCKS. HOWEVER, THESE RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE HAS THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. I APPEALED AND THEY DENIED AGAIN. NOW I GET TO PAY $1,000 TO PAY FOR A PART THAT NISSAN HAS PUBLICLY ADMITTED WAS DUE TO SHODDY MANUFACTURING IN THOUSANDS OF 09 ALTIMAS, BUT SOMEHOW NOT IN MINE. NISSAN, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT HONDA OR TOYOTA, BUT, C'MON: MAKE AN EFFORT. (HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2017/NISSAN-ALTIMA-MAXIMA-STEERING-LOCK-PROBLEMS.SHTML)

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE, MANUFACTURER EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, 120K MILES BECAUSE THEY USED A BAD PRODUCT. MY VEHICLE HAS 140,000 MILES SO NISSAN DECLINED TO COVER REPAIR COST. MY VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGN OF ISSUES UNTIL IT SUDDENLY WOULDN'T ENGAGE AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT A MANUFACTURE THIS SIZE PUSHES A KNOWN ISSUE UNDER THE RUG INSTEAD OF RECALLING THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES.
