2010 Nissan Altima complaints

RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE STRUT INSULATOR MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION RESULTING IN A POTENTIAL FOR THE STRUT INSULATOR TO CRACK. CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION.

MY ENGINE IS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN ACCELARATING AND IT HAS EXCESSIVE BLOWBY WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON SAYING CATALYTIC CONVERTER ,EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL GETTING PAST MY PVC SYSTEM IT ONLY HAS 129880 MILES ON IT

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CRACKING, CAUSING A STICKY GLARING PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING. NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHEN CONTACTED.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING. YOU CAN'T PUT ANYTHING ON IT OR EVEN TOUCH IT WITHOUT GETTING A VERY STICKY RESIDUE ON YOUR HANDS. IT IS ALSO A MAJOR HAZARD WHEN IT IS SUNNY OUT. WHEN THE SUN HITS THE MELTING PART OF THE DASH, I AM BLINDED. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING & REPLACE THESE DASHBOARDS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING ISSUES.APPARENTLY EVERYONE DRIVING THIS CAR IN THE SOUTHERN STATES IS HAVING THIS ISSUE.

2010 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. NUMEROUS COMPLAINS ARE IN ONLINE THREADS BUT NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. THIS ISSUE IS EXPEIRENCED IN YEARS FROM 2008 TO 2013. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY NISSAN. ONLY OCCURS IN HOT CLIMATE.

STEERING LOCK INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGINE WILL NOT START. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 2 MOS, ALWAYS ON COLD TEMP MORNINGS. LATER THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT AND THE ENGINE WILL START...EXCEPT THIS TIME, LATER THE ENGINE STARTED WITH THE STEERING LOCK LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT EVEN WHEN RUNNING.

COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO MY DASH STARTED TO MELT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SINE ON THE DASH IS MAKING DRIVING REALLY DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE FRONT MIRROR

THE VERY FIRST ISSUE WAS VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON ITS OWN WHILE IN AIRPORT TRAFFIC. IT RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY BUT CUTS OFF IMMEDIATELY YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND DROVE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THE ISSUE STARTED AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT THE PROBLEM REFUSED TO REPLICATE. THE CURRENT ISSUE NOW IS THAT THE RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV UP WHILE VEHICLE DE-ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. VEHICLE SOMETIMES RUNS LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ENGAGED. WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO ENGAGE THE GEAR.

A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE FOR 2010 MODELS ON THE ALTIMA DUE TO MELTING DASHES, EVERYTHING GETS STUCK IF SOMETHING IS PLACED ON THE DASH. PLEASE REPLACE DASHES!

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE 2011. MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) READS OFF WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED. I AM A 6FT 4IN 230 POUND INDIVIDUAL AND THE OCS SYSTEM FAILS TO RECOGNIZE ME WHEN I AM SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, STOPED, AND DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I MADE MY NISSAN DEALER AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE THE FIRST RECALL IN 2013 OF THE OCS SYSTEM AND THEY FAILED TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY NISSAN DEALER (PETRO NISSAN HATTIESBURG, MS 39402) LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED AND TOLD ME TO IGNORE THE OCS OFF LIGHT ON MY DASH. AFTER FOUR NISSAN ALTIMA OCS RECALLS (03/01/2013, 10/20/2015, 04/26/2016, 12/19/2016) I HAVE GROWN MORE CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. AS OF 12/04/2018 AT 5:52 P.M. I HAVE DIRECTLY CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. A REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT NISSAN IS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY DEFECT IN THEIR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD AS OF MARCH 2018. I CONTINUED TO PRESS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY DEFECT AND AFTER SEVERAL BACK-AND-FORTHS THE REPRESENTATIVE SCHEDULED A 'SPECIALIST' TO CONTACT ME TOMORROW 12/05/2018.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CAR IS ON.

VEHICLE WILL NOT GO PAST 60 MPH, THEN WITHIN 24 HOURS WOULD NOT GO PAST 40 MPH, WITHIN 24 MORE HOURS, VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH AND HAS EXTREME POWER LOSS. WAS EVALUATED BY TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING STALLING ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HERE WHERE I LIVE ON 12/17 FOR THE ISSUE ONLY RECEIVED A CHANGE OF FLUID NO ERROR CODES. SPENT ALMOST 300.00 THAT DAY. TOOK IT BACK AGAIN ON 1/18 FOR THE SAME ISSUE, NOT EVEN A MONTH APART. WAS TOLD THAT FROM THE VIDEO I SHOWED THE NISSAN WORKER IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION GOING BAD. I HAD TO PAY 110.00 TO HOOK IT UP TO THE MACHINE THIS DAY. AFTER LEAVING MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT HONOR THE 120,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR PULL ANY ERROR CODES. THEY PERFORMED AN UPDATE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH THEY STATED WAS NEEDED AND THAT "SHOULD" FIX THE ISSUE. FAST FORWARD TO 11/3/18 LESS THAN 3000 MILES LATER IT'S STALLING AGAIN AND WON'T GO PAST 5 MPH WITH THE GAS PADDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON A FLAT SURFACE STREET. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME AND IT WAS AN UNSAFE SITUATION. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL OF THIS AND HAVE VIDEOS TO PROVE EVERYTHING THAT I SPEAK OF. THERE WAS A TIME WHERE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN TO 50 AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO TRY TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY 18 WHEELERS ZOOMING PAST ME. THAT IN ITSELF IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR ME.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM 20MPH TO 40MPH THE RPMS INCREASE TO 3RPM AND THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO CHANGE THE GEAR. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE). I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2010. IT HAS 220,000 MILES ON IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW THIS US A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CAR. NISSAN ALSO SENT OUT A BULLETIN NTB10-121B. THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE ISSUE AT THEIR COST. ATTACHED IS THE PDF OF THE BULLETIN.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE BUCKING TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER WAS TOLD 1 IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUGS PAID TO HAVE THEM REPLACED BUT ALSO HAD MENTIONED IT SMELT LIKE RAW EGGS TO THE DEALER. A FEW MONTHS LATER SAME THING TOOK TO DEALER SAID ANOTHER IGNITION COIL I APPROVED FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE REMAINING 3 IGNITION COILS SO I WOULDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN AND AGAIN I TOLD THEM THAT IT SMELT LIKE RAW EGGS. NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON AND THE CODE IS FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR. WAS TOLD THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WENT OUT IN APRIL. I WOULD LIKE SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THIS. ALL THE ISSUES WAS WHEN DRIVING AT BOTH HWY SPEEDS AND CITY SPEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE DEALER (CORAL SPRINGS NISSAN, 9350 W ATLANTIC BLVD, CORAL SPRINGS, FL 33071, 954 755-5600 EXT 3101) WERE NOTIFIED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V521000 (AIR BAGS AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES WERE THE SAME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM A RECALL AND OUT OF WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,388. *TT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT STRUCK A POTHOLE AND THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED IMMEDIATELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT "AIR BAG OFF" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PRIORITY NISSAN RICHMOND (16301 PRIORITY WAY, COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VIRGINIA 23834, (804) 414-0550) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 210,000.

CAR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING...COMPLETELY BURNED UP

MECHANIC FOUND CRACKED STRUTS AND ADVISED IS A DANGER TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM (09V358000) FOR MY YEAR AND VEHICLE TYPE. MY VIN INCLUDED IN RECALL. WHY? THE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR IS $940 + A $140 DIAGNOSTIC. THE CAR IS JERKY AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN DRIVING. I AM NOW CONFINED TO ONLY DRIVE LOCALLY UNTIL I CAN AFFORD THE $1K COST TO REPAIR. WHY IS MY CAR NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL?

MY CAR HAD BEEN RECALLED 4 TIMES FOR VARIOUS DEFECTS AS WELL AS THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2005 THAT I HAD.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED INSIDE A GARAGE. UPON ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START. MY KEY LIGHT WAS/IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, CAR GOES INTO THE ON POSITION BUT DOES NOT START VEHICLE. UNABLE TO TURN OFF AFTER PUSHING THE "START BUTTON".

THE DASH IS MELTING AND STICKY, CAUSING IT TO BE SHINY. THIS CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE, CAUSING A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD.

2010 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING, NOT JUST ME. (SEE NHTSA ID # 10899578). I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES, SOMETIMES WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR, BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT IS THE CAR TURNS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE COMING TO STOP, WHEN STOPPED, AND/OR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP. ALL SYSTEMS TURN OFF INCLUDING THE ABILITY TO STEER AND STOP. AFTER TURNING OFF, THE CAR WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY TURN BACK ON. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIME BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, SINCE IT HAD A RECALL AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY, TO SEE IF IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT, AS THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF THIS MORNING, 8/14/18, WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A MAIN CITY STREET. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY TURNED OFF AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT SEEM TO WORK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE CAR DID NOT TURN BACK ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL OF THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT.

DRIVING ON I95 FROM GATLINBURG MY CAR STARTED MAKE A HORRIBLE WHINING NOISIE, SHUCK IT'S HAS DONE BEFORE JUST NOT THIS BAD, IT HAS BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND JUST STOPPED AND LET IT SIT AND IT STOPPED . NOW IT HAPPENS EVERYTTIME I GET IN THE CAR. OR THAT I HAVE TO BEG IT GO WHEN IT'S IN GEAR, WHEN I PULL OUT I'D DOESN'T GO. I'VE NOTICE IF I SLAM IT FROM TO PARK FORCEFULLY TO DRIVE IT SEEMS TO WORK FINE UNTIL THE WHINING AND JERKING START. I KNOW THIS IS A TRANNY ISSUE AND I I KNOW IT'S WARRANTY RORB10 YRS OR 120000 MILES I'M AT 102! AND I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR PLEASE HELP!!!

MY VEHICLE SLOWS SEVERELY DOWN WHEN I DRIVE IN STEEP HILLS..

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUTTER AND WITH NO WHERE SAFE TO PULL OVER CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE TOOK SO LONG TO GET UP TO SPEED I THOUGHT SOMETHING TERRIBLE WAS GOING TO HAPPENED. WHEN I GOT TO A SAFE PLACE I PULLED OVER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DECIDED TO TRY AGAIN AND IMMEDIATELY IT STARTED SHUTTERING AND NO POWER I INSTANTLY PULLED OVER CALL MY HUSBAND AND THEN CALLED A TOWING SERVICE. I'VE READ SINCE THIS HAPPENED ITS MORE COMMON AND DANGEROUS THAN I EVER IMAGINED..

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY IMPACT UPON MAKING A RIGHT TURN, SUBSEQUENTLY, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO AND RAN OVER A CURB CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.

HEAD ON COLLISION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, BRAKED, DIRECT IMPACT ABOUT 25 MPH, AIRBAGS DID NOT ENGAGE. DRIVER SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK ON BRAKE OR IMPACT. *JS *DT CONSUMER STATED TRUCKING COMPANY HAS TAKEN STEPS FOR REPAIRS BUT DEALERSHIP MISSED SOME REPAIRS AND TRUCKING COMPANY REFUSING TO PAY OUTSTANDING REPAIRS.*JB

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. ORIGINAL BATTERY WENT DEAD IN 2012, ADDITIONAL BATTERIES INSTALLED IN 2013, 2014, 2015 BY THE DEALER AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. AAA INSTALLED BATTERIES IN 2016 AND MAY OF 2018., I DID NOT GO BACK TO THE DEALER. DEALER TOLD ME FIRST TIME WAS DUE TO THE WEATHER, THEN THEY TOLD ME I WAS NOT PUTTING ENOUGH MILES ON MY CAR, THEY INSTALLED A LARGER BATTERY AND THIS ONE ALSO WENT DEAD. I DID TELL THE DEALER THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME I TRAVEL ALONE BOTH IN-STATE AND OUT-OF STATE, IF MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY THIS IS WHEN THE DEALER INSTALLED A LARGER BATTERY AND THIS ONE ALSO WENT DEAD. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BY THE DEALER AND MECHANIC SHOWED NOTHING BUT SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IS CAUSING SO MANY BATTERIES TO GO DEAD..I ALSO TOLD NISSAN USA THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. NISSAN USA TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS WHICH I ALREADY KNEW AND THEY WOULD NOT DO A BUYBACK OR REPAIR. BECAUSE OUT OF WARRANTY, THIS THEY HAD OFFERED TO CHECK INTO FOR ME, PLUS THE DEALER NEVER OFFERED THIS TO ME AFTER REPLACING SO MANY BATTERIES. ALL I HAVE FOR BACKUP ARE MY RECEIPTS WHICH I DIDN'T ATTACH, IF NEEDED PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MECHANIC DID TELL ME IF BATTERY GOES DEAD AGAIN TO GIVE HIM A CALL AND HE WOULD COME TO TRY AND SEE IF HE COULD FIND WHAT WAS THE CAUSE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE BATTERY WENT DEAD ON A SATURDAY AND FOUND OUT WHEN I CALLED MONDAY HE ALSO GOT MARRIED OVER THIS WEEKEND AND WAS ON HIS HONEYMOON, BUT

PROBLEM: ACCELERATING ON HIGHWAY AND CAR WOULD NOT SWITCH INTO HIGHER GEAR PREVENTING CAR FROM GOING MORE THAN 20 MPH ON A 75 MPH HIGHWAY. NISSAN TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THE REPAIRS WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED 100% UNDER THE WARRANTEE EXTENSION IF THE CAR HAD BEEN WITHIN THE 120,000 LIMIT. OUR CAR WAS JUST 8% OVER THAT LIMIT BUT NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT HELP IN ANY WAY. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AND DOUBLED THE WARRANTEE BUT THAT WAS ALL THEY WERE GOING TO DO. THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSING THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS TO FAIL AT 120,000 MILES ARE CAUSING THEM TO FAIL AT 131,000 MILES IN MY CASE. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRING THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS. I AM NOT CERTAIN WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MANDATED. THIS IS A DOCUMENTED AND ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (ANTWERPEN NISSAN SECURITY, 1701 WOODLAWN DR., BALTIMORE, MD 21207) WAS NOTIFIED AND UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS POOR VISIBILITY WHEN IT IS RAINING, ALTHOUGH I HAVE TRIED MANY THINGS DO NOT IMPROVE, THE WATER STAYS IN THE GLASS IN A WAY THAT I HAVE NOT SEEN IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE LEFT THE AGENCY, BUT I THOUGHT I COULD SOLVE IT WITH SOME PRODUCT, BUT NOTHIN

CVT TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY GAVE OUT TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. MY CAR WAS GOING 65 ONE MINUTE AND THEN LOST COMPLETE POWER. STARTED SEARCHING ONLINE FOR MORE INFO ONLY TO FIND HUNDREDS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM ALL MODELS AND YEARS FROM 2007 TO 2016! MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN A SPECIAL WARRANTY ISSUED BY NISSAN BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT IT'S ONLY VALID UNDER 120K MILES. NOW I HAVE NO CAR, NO MONEY TO FIX THIS ONE OR BUY ANOTHER. THE UNRELIABILITY HAS RUINED MY LIFE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO GET BY. SADLY, THE FEAR OF WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH MY FUTURE IS ONLY SECOND TO THE FEAR I FELT THIS MORNING WHEN THE CAR I'VE POURED A LOT OF MONEY INTO AND TAKE TREMENDOUS CARE OF ALMOST GOT ME KILLED. NO DASH LIGHTS. NO WARNING. NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE OF THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. FINE ONE DAY, COMPLETELY UNDRIVABLE THE NEXT. I WAS ON 83 NORTH IN MD AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A SEMI DOING 70+ MPH IN THE LEFT LANE.

THERE IS A OIL SMELL COMING THROUGH THE AIR CONDITION VENT WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN THE HEAT IS ON.THE SMELL IS STRONG .THE ONLY TIME WHEN THE SMELL IS NOT COMING OUT IS WHEN THE AC/HEATER IS OFF OR WHEN I HAVE THE UNIT ON CIRCULATION AND AC ON AT THE SAME TIME.IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAR I TRAVEL THE SMELL IS THERE.THE VOLUME CONTROL OF THE AC/HEATER HAS A DELAY OF COMING ON,.I WANT TO KNOW WHY IS THIS CAR DOING THIS ,IT'S A 2010 IT ALSO LOOK LIKE IT HAS SOME WATER DAMAGE.

MY DASH BOARD IS SUPER STICKY/TACKY, AND HAS A GLARE WHEN DRIVING, WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE THE FRONT PIECES WITH A PRY TOOL, THE DASH PEELS OFF IN CHUNKS AND REMAINS STUCK ON YOUR FINGER/ PRY TOOL LIKE A MELTED WAX. IT'S NOT THE SAME CONSISTENCY AS THE GLOVE BOX, YOU CAN STICK YOUR FINGERNAIL IN IT AND IT LEAVES INTENTIONS, MY PAINT IS ALSO COMING OFF IN LARGE SPOTS ALL OVER THE CAR.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND HAS A VERY BAD GLARE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. THIS CAUSES VISION TO BE VERY POOR AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND OTHER CARS AND PEDESTRIAN. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE GLARE. THE ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD IS THE SAME AS THE LAWSUIT THAT WAS FILED AGAINST NISSAN BY A GIRARD GIBBS AND NISSAN LOST. BUT IT WAS FOR 2008-2009 MODELS. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD IS $2634.

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON A RAINY DAY, I WAS MAKING A TURN AT A INTERSECTION. I LOSS CONTROL OF MY CAR & HIT A TREE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOYED WHEN MY CAR HIT A TREE. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE WESTCHESTER MEDICAL CENTER TRAUMA ER. I SUSTAINED A FRACTURED STERNUM & BRUISED RIBS. *TT *JS

THE DASH BOARD HAS BEEN MELTING FOR OVER A YEAR.

TAKATA INFLATORS: ONE OF MY VEHICLES (THE OTHER IS A 2013 FORD FUSION VIN [XXX]), WAS ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE TAKATA INFLATORS. I WAS INFORMED REPEATEDLY THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE INFORMED WHEN THEY WERE IN STOCK. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION REGARDING THIS RECALL AND CANNOT RECALL WHICH OF MY VEHICLES WAS PINPOINTED, THE INFLATORS HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED ON EITHER OF MY VEHICLES, BUT MYSTERIOUSLY, NEITHER SHOWS UP ON THE TAKATA RECALL LIST. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW OR WHY THIS SHOULD BE THE CASE? I FEEL THAT SOMETHING HAS "SLIPPED THRU THE CRACKS". INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WENT TO START MY ALTIMA ONE DAY AND IT WOULDN'T START. NOTICED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND IT NEVER DOES THIS. WENT ON YOUTUBE AND SAW VIDEOS ABOUT A QUICK FIX ON THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK COLUMN. DID WHAT THE VIDEO SAID AND THE CAR STARTED UP. CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE I FOUND A CUSTOMARY REPLACEMENT ON THIS PART FOR KNOWN DEFECTS BUT NO FULL RECALL WA ISSUED. MY VIN DID NOT POPULATE SAYING I COULD GET MINE REPLACED AND THEY QUOTED ME $1000 FOR REPLACEMENT AND LABOR. THIS DEFAULT IN LEAVES YOU STRANDED WITH NO VEHICLE. ASKED NISSAN CORPORATE IF THEY COULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR MY VIN AND THEY TOLD ME NO. VERY DISPLEASED WITH THIS SERVICE.

THE INCIDENT HAPPENED THE WEEK OF 02/08/18 MY WIFE NOTICED SOME LIGHT VDC SLIP ABS LIGHTS ALL CAME ON THEM WHILE ON HIGHWAY ALL OF THE BRAKES LOCKED AND SHE COULD NOT ACCELERATE CAR.

THE AIRBAG DASH LITE KEEPS ON BLINKING AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. CONTINUES BLINKING WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS 59,100 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING, CRACKING, AND BEGAN TO PROVIDE A GLARE WHEN THE SUN WAS OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (UNIVERSAL HYUNDAI, 12801 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32837) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, BUT PARTS WERE ORDERED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT OPENED A CASE WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THERE WAS A STRONG BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, LIFTED THE HOOD, AND NOTICED FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED NOR TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-647-7261 AND STATED THAT THE INVESTIGATORS WOULD CONTACT HIM WITHIN THREE DAYS. CASE NUMBER: 27217273 WAS PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

DIAGNOSED AS BODY CONTROL MODULE: DRAINS BATTERY INCLUDING NEW INSTALLED BATTERY; FOB WITH NEW BATTERY WILL NOT LOCK THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT ACTIVATE ALARM SYSTEM AND THE VEHICLE LOCATOR BUTTON SPORADICALLY PERFORMS; FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT OPERATE PROPERLY (WILL NOT GO DOWN OR CONSTANTLY GOES UP AND DOWN AND SAYS IN A HALF-UP/HALF -DOWN POSITION; RADIO AND CLOCK LOSES DIGITAL DISPLAY CONSTANTLY WHEN DRIVING. NEED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO GET THE RADIO/CLOCK TO DISPLAY. AFRAID THE ENTIRE ELECTRONIC BODY MODULE WILL FAIL AT ANY GIVEN TIME EFFECTING THE SAFETY OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. DATE BELOW INDICATING "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" IS THE DATE IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY MECHANIC.

MY CAR AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD IS FLASHING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL AND THEY HAVE SAID NO. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN TO BE EVALUATED. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT.

AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS DRIVING THE VEHICLE REFUSES TO ACCELERATE. WHATEVER SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING AT THE TIME THE ISSUE KICKS IN IS THE MAXIMUM SPEED THE VEHICLE WILL DRIVE. STOPPING AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO RESET THE PROCESS AND YOU CAN DRIVE NORMALLY FOR THE NEXT 15 - 30 MINUTES UNTIL THE PROBLEM RESURFACES. LOOKING ONLINE INDICATES THIS A COMMON ISSUE FOR NISSAN VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM 2007 - 2010. THE ISSUES SEEMS TO SURFACE ONCE THE VEHICLES HIT 80,000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IN MY CASE IT PREVENTED ME FROM DIVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY.

ON 9/10/17 ABOUT NOON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON, PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHILE LOOKING FOR SERVICE PHONE NUMBER, SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, EXITED THE CAR, AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THEN THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.

WHEN IN MOTION DRIVING OR WHEN STATIONARY THERE IS SOMETIMES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE DASHBOARD THAT IS SO SEVERE THAT IT IMPAIRS ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE DEVELOPED OVER TIME. THE DASHBOARD ITSELF IS TACKY.
