2009 Nissan Altima complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 143K MILES; VIOLENT SHAKING WHILE TRANSMISSION WAS ENGAGED

ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK CONTROL HAS FAILED TWICE. NISSAN HAS REPLACED AT NO CHARGE ONCE, AND HAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR ALL 2009. HOWEVER, THE 3 YEAR OLD REPLACEMENT FAILED WITH NO WARNING AND LEFT ME STRANDED AND HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED.

TOOK VEHICHLE HUNTING. WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR FOUND THAT VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. NO CELL PHONE COVERAGE. HAD TO FLAG DOWN A CAR TO FIND A RIDE BACK TO WHERE I COULD GET CELL COVERAGE AND CALL WIFE FOR A RIDE HOME. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE STEERING COLUM LOCK WAS THE CULPRIT. ALSO FOUND OUT THAT I WAS NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HOW COULD THIS BE A SECRET, IF THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED AND NISSAN DID NOT DO A FULL RECALL. SHAME ON THEM SOME NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A FULL RECALL. WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY WIFE OR KIDS ????

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LATE AT NIGHT, JUST GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR MADE A LOUD SOUND AND THEN STOPPED MOVING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS PRIOR TO THIS EVENT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, THIS INCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR 5 MINUTES EARLIER WHILE I WAS STILL ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR HAD BEEN INTO THE DEALER FOR NEW BRAKES AND CHANGE IN TRANSMISSION FLUID 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS EVENT. AFTER THE EVENT THE DEALER ALLEGEDLY FOUND METAL BELT PIECES IN THE CVT OIL PAN. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE $4600, IN EXCESS OF THE BLUE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR. THE CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED AT NISSAN DEALERS SINCE THE TIME IT WAS PURCHASED. IT WAS PURCHASED WITH THE EXPECTATION FROM THE SALES STAFF THAT THE CAR WOULD GO AT LEAST 200,000 MILES. CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 124000 MILES. NISSAN AGREED TO PAY 50% OF THE COST OF THE NEW TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, I CHOSE NOT TO REPAIR THE CAR AS THE REMAINING AMOUNT IS COST PROHIBITIVE AND I HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN NISSAN PRODUCTS AND THEIR SERVICE. IT APPEARS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE COMMON IN THE ALTIMA AND NISSAN DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT OR TRY TO CORRECT THE ISSUES. THE DEALERS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM WITHOUT AN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS CHARGE OF $135.

STARTING IN APRIL 2016 WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN MY WIFE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST THE ABILITY TO DRIVE, THE ENGINE HAD SHUT DOWN ENTIRELY. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 100,000 MILES AND SHE WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY EXPRESS WAY BETWEEN CLEVELAND AND AKRON I-77. SHE COSTED INTO A REST AREA AND WE HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE OVER NIGHT UNTIL WE COULD GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE O2 SENSOR AND IT COST US ALMOST 1,200 $ TO REPAIR. A FEW MONTHS LATER IN JUNE OF 2016 ON FATHERS DAY WITH OUR ALMOST 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN TO VIRGINIA TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH FRIENDS. WE HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING IN THE DC AREA ON ANOTHER BUSY EXPRESS WAY I-70 IN MARYLAND OUR CAR AGAIN LOST POWER IN THE ENGINE. WE COULDN'T DRIVE IT ANY WHERE. WE HAD IT WOED BY AAA TO FREDERICK MARYLAND, RENTED A CAR, AND DROVE THE 5 HOURS HOME. A FEW DAYS LATER I DROVE BACK DOWN TO PICK THE CAR UP. THIS TIME IT WAS THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. IT COST US ALMOST 500$ TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. TO MY UNDERSTANDING BOTH SENSORS BELONG TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF A CAR. ON MONDAY OF THIS WEEK OCTOBER 30TH 2017 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON BACK ROADS. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DAMAGED FRONT EXHAUST PIPE AND MANIFOLD. THE PRICE TO FIX IT IS 2,132.74$. I FELT THAT TO HAVE 3 MAJOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IN OUR CAR IN A YEAR AND A HALF WAS EXC

BURNING TOO MUCH OIL , HAD TO ADD 3 TO 4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGE...PISTON RING PROBLEM CAUSING MISFIRE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY 2 MONTHS CAUSING SPARK PLUGS BURNT OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (RON MARHOFER NISSAN, 247 HOWE AVE, CUYAHOGA FALLS, OH, 44221) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE FRONT EXHAUST PIPE MANIFOLD, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 28754357. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL (PC130), BUT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED. ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TOWED. THE 02 SENSOR AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 103,000.

MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND IT'S VERY STICKY.. THE GLARE IS A MAJOR CONCERN THAT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S DAY OR NIGHT IT'S DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK DUE TO A CRASH AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. AS THE TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK, BUT THE SHIFTER JAMMED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION SHOP; HOWEVER, IT HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THERE WAS ONE INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

CAR WILL NOT START AND KEY LOCK IS ON AS WELL AS THE RED LIGHT WITH THE CAR FLASHING INSIDE OF THE CAR. I LOOKED THE PROBLEM UP AND IT STATED SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEING A STEERING MECHANISM. I WAS PARKED IN A RESTAURANT GOT OUT TO GET MY FOOD AND CAME BACK TO THE CAR AND CAR WOULDN'T START.

I HAVE 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA AND IT HAS A VERY STICKY, SHINY DASHBOARD. SOME PART OF THE DASHBOARD IS SO SHINY THAT IT CREATES A GLARE ON WINDSHIELD DURING DAYTIME WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUTSIDE AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE OTHER CARS, PEDESTRIANS ETC.DURING DRIVING. THIS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE TAKE CARE OF BY NISSAN ASAP.

TAKATA RECALL,FACTORY DASHBOARD EXPLOTION AND GLARE DEFFECT

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN IN PARKING LOT. DASH DISPLAY SHOWED A KEY LIGHT BUT INFORMATION CONSOLE DID NOT STATE THE PROBLEM. OCCUPANTS IN VEHICLE WERE MOTHER AND 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN 90+ DEGREE HEAT. COULD NOT OPERATE AIR CONDITIONING AND HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO RESIDENCE. UPON INSPECTION, FOUND STEERING WHEEL LOCK MALFUNCTIONED. SOLUTION: DISABLE MALFUNCTIONING UNIT COMPROMISING SECURITY SYSTEM WITH POSSIBILITY OF STEERING WHEEL LOCK ACTIVATING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS VEHICLE MAY BE USED ON HIWAY OR IN LESS THAN OPTIMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. NISSAN SHOULD RECOGNIZE THAT THIS HAZARD WAS NOT COMPLETELY COMMUNICATED TO ALL 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS WHEN THE INITIAL RECALL WAS ISSUED THAT ENDED IN JANUARY OF 2017. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO ALL CURRENT OWNERS OF 2009 NISSAN ALTIMAS AND CORRECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM. I WAS FIXED ONCE BY DEALERSHIP UNDER EXTENDED WARRENTY THEY SAY. THEY TOLD ME RECALLED. NOW ONLY "CERTAIN 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA" ARE RECALLED AGAIN. MINE IS BROKE AGAIN AND COST IS APPROX $900. THEY SAID I GET NO ASSISTANCE EVEN PAYING FOR IT BECAUSE OF THE MILES ON MY CAR. IT IS STILL THEIR MISTAKE AND FAULTY PART. CAR IS NIT DRIVEABLE

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT FAILS TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR. YOU PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPMS GO HIGHER BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T PICK UP IN SPEED. IT ACTUALLY DECREASES AS YOU ARE GOING UP A HILL. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS THE ECM AND THAT I WAS [XXX] OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE THAT MAKE/MODEL DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ON IT. THOUGH I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR TECHNICIANS ON HOW TO DO A ECM REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE FOR ALL 2004 AND LATER - NISSAN ALTIMAS. SO - THEY KNOW THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE AUTOMOBILE. MY MOM HAS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA AND IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AND THEY RECALLED HER VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CPSC:THIS WINTER I WAS NOTICING AND HAVING EVEN MORE PROBLEMS WITH GLARE AND SUN AND LIGHTS AT NIGHT REFLECTING ON THESE SHINY "MELTED" AREAS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, MY DASH WAS ALL ORIGINALLY A BLACK MATTE FINISH AND GLARE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE DASH MATERIAL APPEARING TO BREAK DOWN. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE "MELTING DASHBOARDS" TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND TO FIX OR REPAIR, OR REPORTS, ETC. *BF UPDATED 08/31/2017*JS ...UPDATED 10/03/17 *BF UPDATED 10/25/17 *BF *JS *TR

COMING HOME FROM FLORIDA IN 2013, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WE WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER. ONCE WE STOPPED AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR 15-20 MINUTES, WE WERE ABLE TO GO ANOTHER 100-150 MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TWICE DRIVING HOME FROM MURFREESBORO. WE WENT TO FLORIDA FOR VACATION THIS YEAR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY THERE AND ON THE WAY HOME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AND TALKING TO SOME MECHANICS, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM

PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION SENSOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED, DISARMING THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM. THIS SEAT CUSHION SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 YEARS AGO BY OWNER, AND NOW A SECOND OEM SENSOR HAS FAILED. NO INJURY HAS OCCURRED BUT WOULD HATE TO FIND OUT WHAT DEATH OR INJURY COULD BE PREVENTED IF NISSAN OR NHTSA WOULD RECALL THIS ITEM IN 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 62000MILES.

MY CAR LEFT ME STRANDED AS I WENT TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTERS FROM DAYCARE. I HAD TO PAY TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, MY KEY FOB WOULD ALLOW ME TO LOCK MY DOORS AND TURN ON THE ALARM BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING IN THE COMPLAINTS COMMENTARY AND THE MAJORITY OF YOUR COMPLAINTS ARE FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAILURE. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WAY THIS MODEL WAS BUILT. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR MANUFACTURE MISTAKES.

KEY LOCKING MECHANISM STALLED ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION SHOP. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

TAKATA RECALL. DEALERSHIP SAYS ENTIRE SEAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR ISSUE. WILL COST OVER $1,400 TO REPLACE DUE TO SHORTAGE IN REPLACEMENT SEATS. WILL ONLY WARRANTY FOR 1 YEAR IF REPLACED.

I PURCHASED A NISSAN ALTIMA 09 AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL 8/03/17. AS I WENT TO TURN THE CAR ON A LIGHT CAME UP ON THE DASH BOARD INDICATING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING LOCK. I FIGURED IT WAS A QUICK FIX SO I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S A FAULTY STEERING LOCK AND ASKED FOR ME TO BRING MY CAR IN. I HAD TO CALL OUT OF WORK TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS ONGOING ISSUE. I LOOKED ON ONLINE FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AND COULDN'T FIND ANY BUT I DID FIND THAT MANY NISSAN ALTIMA 09 OWNERS WERE DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE NO WARRANTY ON MY CAR BUT THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO FIX MY CAR SO I WON'T BE STRANDED AND WON'T HAVE TO PAY 600$ FOR A SMALL PART...

CATALYTIC CONVERTER NOT WORKING CAUSING THE CAR TO DRIVE INEFFECTIVELY, CAR SPEED DECLINES AND SOMETIMES THE CAR RPMS STAY AT 3000 AND WON'T ACCELERATE.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA WAS IN A 4+ ROLLOVER AT @65 MPH, WEST BOUND ON I-8 NEAR BOULEVARD CALIFORNIA ABOUT DAWN AND JUST EAST OF SANDIEGO . WHEN A SUDDEN RAIN DOWNBURST, THE CAR HYDROPLANED AND LEFT THE ROAD AND PROCEEDED TO ROLL 4+ TIMES. I HAVE YET TO SEE THE ACCIDENT REPORT. THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND NEITHER DID THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BAGS. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT THE PASSENGERS DO NOT RECALL THEM AIRING UP. USAA HAS THE VEHICLE IN SANDIEGO SOMEWHERE. I FEEL THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN A MULTIPLE SIDE ROLLOVER.... THE OCCUPANTS WERE AT HUGE RISK BUT FOR THE GRACE AND HANDS OF GOD, THEY WALKED AWAY, THOUGH I FEEL THAT THE CHP SHOULD HAVE FORCED A 4 YOUNG ADULTS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL, INSTEAD EVERYONE LEAVING THE SCENE AFTER GATHERING LUGGAGE AND SUCH. INJURIES ARE UNKNOWN, BUT TYPICAL OF BEING ROLLED AT HIGH SPEED NUMEROUS TIMES, BEING SHAKEN, BRUISED, SKELETAL ALIGNMENT DISRUPTED ETC...

THE WON'T START DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WON'T LOCK SO THE CAR WON'T START

TAKATA RECALL CAN'T DRIVE TOO FAR CUZ LOSING POWER AFTER HOUR....WE CANT GO TO FAMILY VACATION ON LONG TRIPIF ITS LOWER THAN $200 THAT'S OK BUT IF IT'S CVT TRANSMISSION IT'S WAY OVER MY BUDGET IT'S COST OVER $5,000......I LOOK OVER ON GOOGLE N SEEN A LOTS OF PPL HAD THIS PROBLEM.....

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND THE SPEED DRASTICALLY DECREASES AND LOSES ALL POWER! THERE IS NO WARNINGS.

THE PUSH-BUTTON STARTER SYSTEM FAILED, LEAVING ME STRANDED. THIS IS A STEERING LOCK ISSUE VERY COMMON TO THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

THE CAR WILL NOT START. THE DASH LIGHTS AND RADIO COME ON AND THE "ON" INDICATOR IS LIT WHERE THE PUSH BUTTON IS. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE DOES NOT START.

TRAVELING UP HILL MY CAR LOSES POWER AND GOES TO SOME KIND OF SAFTY MODE AND ITS VERT SCARY IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN' IN THE CAR

I CHANGE MY RADIATOR 2 TIMES - AND THEY CHANGE THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK AND THEY CHARGE ME 1,200 . I HAVE CHANGE THE PRESSURE SENSORS COUPLE TIMES . THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING

FRONT STRUTS HAVE CRACKS IN THEM. ALSO, THE CAR IS ON ITS CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

THE NISSAN ALTIMA'S CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN A YEAR. ALSO, THE STRUTS HAVE CRACKS IN THEM AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ONCE THE ENGINE GETS HOT THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND ONCE YOU STOP THE CAR AND LET THE ENGINE COOL DOWN IT RUNS FINE

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GO UP. HILL I LOSE POWER CANT DRIVE UNTIL THE TRANMISSION COOLS DOWN

STEERING WHEEL LOCK UNIT FAILURE. MY CAR WAS ALL OF THE SUDDEN DEAD AT HOME DEPOT THE OTHER DAY AND THIS WAS THE SECOND TIMES IT HAPPENED. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED BUT I WAS ABLED TO START MY CAR THE NEXT DAY SO I THOUGHT IT WAS OK. UNTIL COUPLE DAYS AGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECK. THE SHOP CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK BOX PROBLEM. I HAVE SEARCHING ONLINE AND HERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING TO THEIR 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE SND HAVE NISSAN TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS FURTHER TESTING THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

FUEL PUMP WENT OUT MILEAGE #135828 ON MY ALTIMA 2009 2.5S. INITIALLY THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TOTALLY USUALLY AFTER EXCITING THE FREEWAY. IT TOTALLY WENT OUT WHILE PARKED. IT WOULD TRY TO TURN OVER WITH NO LOCK.MODELS 2.5L 4 CYLINDER AND 3.5L V6 YEARS 1993 / 2002-2013 MILEAGE 136212 HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IS IT POSSIBLE TO INVESTIGATE THE 2009 2.5S?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DECELERATED. THE RPMS WERE BETWEEN 4 AND 5. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. WHEN THE CONTACT BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO PULL AND HESITATE, FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS, AND THE TRANSMISSION MADE A WHINING NOISE AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (NISSAN ALTIMA IN SCHERTZ, TX) AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAD TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON REGULAR ROADS ABOUT TO GET ON A HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY ISSUE WITH ALL FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY WORKING. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE BY THE TOGGLE SWITCH, HOWEVER THE HAZARD BUTTON WOULD ACTIVATE THEM. THEN MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF ON THEIR OWN(THIS WAS AT 2 AM IN PITCH DARK AREA AND RAINING). I TRIED TURNING THE SWITCH ALL THE WAY OFF THEN BACK ON AFTER PULLING OVER, NOTHING WORKED EVEN WITH TURNING MY CAR OFF ENTIRELY THEN BACK ON. MY HEADLIGHTS WOULDN'T WORK, BLINKERS NOR MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY OTHER FAILURES. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE POSSIBLY DONE AS AN OPERATOR. IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WENT WRONG AT THE FACTORY WHEN THE CAR WAS BUILT. I AM ONLY WRITING THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN AS I HAD TO FIND MY WAY HOME WITH ONLY MY HAZARD LIGHTS BLINKING EVERY OTHER SECOND. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART THAT FAILED WAS A "BODY CONTROL MODULE IS $919.35, PART, LABOR" WHICH IS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR 1 PART. HOWEVER IT IS SO EXPENSIVE BECAUSE ONCE REPLACED THE ENTIRE CAR AND KEY FOBS NEED TO BE REPROGRAMMED BY NISSAN AND ONLY A AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER CAN ACQUIRE SAID PROGRAMMING TOOLS/SOFTWARE. SURE MY CAR IS A 2009 HOWEVER THE DEALER SAID THIS IS VERY UNCOMMON TO RANDOMLY SHORT OUT IN GENERAL BUT ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE OF HOW DANGEROUS THE EFFECTS CAN BE EVEN WITH THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I LOVE MY CAR B

DASH BOARD IS MELTING

STEERING LOCK CONTROL UNIT HAS FAILED

"TAKATA RECALL" ON THURSDAY, MAY 11TH, 2017, I LEFT FOR AN APPOINTMENT. AFTER THE APPOINTMENT, I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. I NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS A BIT STIFF. I TRIED THE BATTERY, BUT NO RELIEF. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT TOWED. AFTER MUCH READING, I REALIZED THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND THE STEERING COLUMN WENT OUT. VEHICLE WILL NOT START, SEEMS THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT HAPPENED.

CPSC:MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN LITTLE OVER 2 MINUTES. WHOLE CAR BURNED. *BF UPDATED 05/10/2017*JS

THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON THE CAR AND I COULDNT GET IT UNLOCKED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDED TO GET REPLACED SO I DID HOWEVER I FOUND OUT LATER THIS WAS A RECALL

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD (1 HOUR+) IN WARM WEATHER (80 DEGREES+). VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER, WITH RPMS NEVER REACHING ABOVE 2000, DRASTICALLY REDUCING ACCELERATION AND SPEED. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THIS CREATES A SERIOUS DANGER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW.

AFTER LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR WORK MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I PAID TO HAVE SOME COME OUT THINKING IT COULD POSSIBLY BE BATTERY OR STARTER RELATED. COM TO FIND OUT NISSAN HAS ISSUED A ESCL SERVICE CAMPAIGN ON LIKE VEHICLES. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT NEED TO BE FIXED. THANK GOD I WAS AT HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED OTHERWISE THEIR NEGLIGENCE COULD'VE LEFT ME IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION. I NOW HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED BUT I'M NOW LEFT WONDERING WHAT ELSE COULD THEY BE HIDING. MY MOTHER HAS THE SAME CAR AND SHE WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AS WELL.

STEERING IS LOCK AND IT DOES TURN ON AND IT NEVER DID THIS IT WORK GOOD
