2010 Nissan Altima complaints

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2010. IN OCTOBER WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO FLORIDA, AND AT THE END OF A FULL DAY OF TRAVEL, APROX 6 HOURS- WE EXITED I95 IN VIRGINIA TO GO TO OUR HOTEL. WHEN WE CAME TO A STOP SIGN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP, WE ATTEMPTED TO CROSS A STATE ROAD TO GET TO OUR HOTEL. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR BARELY MOVED AND WE WERE ALMOST T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE GOT TO THE HOTEL AND AFTER A NIGHTS REST THE CAR SEEMED FINE, BUT THE CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING THE NEXT NIGHT. WHEN WE GOT TO FLORIDA THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND COULDN'T OFFER A SOLUTION. ON THE TRIP BACK TO NY THIS SPRING THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED EVERY DAY AFTER A LONG DRIVE, EVEN THOUGH WE MADE REST STOPS DURING THE DAY. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

2010 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5SL HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING VIBRATION THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL, ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND DRIVERS SEAT WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS ABOVE 60MPH. I HAD THE TIRES REBALANCED, ROTATED AND AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHEEL ALIGNMENT TO NO AVAIL. THE TIRES ARE SHOWING A CHOPPY OR FEATHERING WEAR PATTERN. THIS VIBRATION BEGAN SOON AFTER PURCHASE AFTER THE BREAK IN PERIOD. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS UNDER 8,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION EVEN THOUGH IT IS CONSTANTLY FELT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA NEW AT THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2010. AROUND 7K MILES IS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I AM ACCELERATING, BETWEEN 20-35 MPH MY CAR MAKES A LOUD NOSE AND HITS BETWEEN 4000-5000 RPMS, BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS LOSING POWER AND IS VERY SLOW TO SPEED UP. ONCE I HIT OVER 50MPH IT GETS BETTER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. AS A SANITY CHECK, I HAVE ASKED 3 OTHER PEOPLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING I AM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING LEFT AT AN UNPROTECTED LIGHT OR TURNING RIGHT INTO TRAFFIC. I GOOGLED THIS AND SEE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE YEAR AND MODEL. *TR

2010 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2010. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT NISSAN QUALITY OF TEMECULA FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES. THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON STATING THAT THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF AND THIS IS WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT OF 200 POUNDS SITTING IN THE PASSANGER'S SEAT. I AM VERY CONCERNED OF OUR SAFETY IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG WILL GO OFF. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO GIVING US PROBLEMS.CAR IS STALLING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING. THE MASTER WARNING LIGHT IS ALSO COMING ON AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. NISSAN WAS OKAY WITH US LEAVING THE LOT KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM PITTSBURGH EAST NISSAN IN MONROEVILLE, PA. AFTER 14,000 MILES THE TIRES WERE WORN OUT. I COMPLAINED BUT I WAS TOLD BECAUSE THEY WERE PERFORMANCE TIRES THAT WAS ABOUT RIGHT ON THE MILEAGE. I COMPLAINED SOME MORE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME A 50% DISCOUNT ON THE TIRES BUT ONLY IF I BOUGHT THE SAME ONES. I GOT TIRES FROM ANOTHER PLACE AND WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY OTHER CARS FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. *TR

AFTER A HARD STOP ON HIGHWAY, CAR TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKED IN A HIGHER GEAR, THUS ACCELERATION ON HIGHWAY WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, AND WAS REAR ENDED, CAR WAS DRIVING AT 5MPH ON THE HIGHWAY FOLLOWING AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THERE IS A SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE. *TR

AFTER DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME (2 HOURS OR MORE) ON THE INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY RECOVERING FROM A STOP. I ACCELERATE TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE VEHICLE HESITATES. WHEN IT REACHES ABOUT 2000 RPMS, IT ACCELERATES OUT OF CONTROL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY OFFERED FOR ME TO BRING IT IN WHEN I AM GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE, BUT I HAD TO STOP BEFORE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS OCCURRED AROUND 700 MILES. WHEN I'M AT STOP LIGHTS I DON'T PANIC, BUT THIS IS UNSAFE FOR INTERSTATE DRIVING. NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION UNDER THE WARRANTY AS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. *TR

2010 NISSAN ALTIMA S (PURCHASED NEW 12/7/09) AND AS PART OF THE INCENTIVE TO BUY THE VEHICLE, THE DEALERSHIP HAD AFTER MARKET LEATHER INSTALLED AND FROM THERE THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN NON-STOP. AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR NEARLY 10 TIMES (ONE BEING TODAY) IN THE PAST 15 MONTHS FOR SERVICE AND WAS PLACED IN LOANER CARS AT LEAST 4 TIMES DUE TO THE PROBLEMS. THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG NOT WORKING AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT SPORADICALLY COMES ON BOTH BLINKING AND/OR A CONSTANT. MY ENTIRE SEAT WAS REPLACED AND STILL THE AIR BAG LIGHT TAKES UP TO 5 MINUTES SOMETIMES (IT VARIES) TO TURN OFF INDICATING SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE DRIVEN UP TO 4 MILES WITH MY PASSENGER BEING UNPROTECTED. THE DEALERSHIP, TODAY SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS CAME OFF AND ON SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH NOTHING FOUND TO BE WRONG EACH TIME, EXCEPT ONCE, THEY SAID I HAD A NAIL IN MY TIRE AND THEY PLUGGED IT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE REPAIR WORK AND LOOKED VERY WELL... THIS PAST WEEKEND, I VACUUMED MY ENTIRE CAR (MEANING EACH DOOR HAD BEEN OPENED AND SHUT) TAKING APPROX 15 MINUTES. WHEN I GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO START IT THE SHIFT WAS LOCKED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. ALL LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING AND THEN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IT WOULD SHOW "ON" ON THE START BUTTON WHILE NOT RUNNING. I WAS JUMP STARTED AND THEN INSTANTLY THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT BLINKED FOR ONE MINUTE THEN STAYED CONSTANT. THE AIR BAG SENSOR TOOK EVEN LONGER TO WORK. OF CO

I PUT AIR INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE OF MY 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA AND THE TIRE CENSOR BROKE WHILE DOING SO. I TOOK THE CAR TO DAVE'S NISSAN OF JACKSON TO BE FIXED, WHEN THEY LATER INFORMED ME THE CENSOR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DESIGN OF THE TIRE STEM SHOULD BE LOOKED AT SO THE CENSOR BREAKING DOES NOT HAPPEN TO PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE THAT ATTEMPT TO PUT AIR INTO THEIR TIRES. NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO COOPERATE WITH ME ON THIS ISSUE SO I HAD TO TAKE MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS AND CONTACT DOT FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

IT OCCURRED TO ME IN JULY 2010. CAR WAS 7 MONTHS OLD WITH MILEAGE OF ~7,000 KM. THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION - WITH ACCELERATION PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED ENGINE WAS REVVING UP TO ~2,200 RPM AND CAR BARELY ACCELERATED LIKE IT WAS SLIPPAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION. SWITCHING TO SPORT OR MANUAL MODES WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. THERE IS "HIGH FLUID TEMPERATURE PROTECTION MODE" DESCRIBED IN MANUAL, BUT THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT/CHIME THAT TRANSMISSION ENTERS THIS MODE. DRIVER NOT BEING AWARE OF VERY LIMITED ACCELERATION CAN FIND HIMSELF IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION LEADING TO FATAL ACCIDENT, E.G. WHEN PULLING OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES, NEVER ANY WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. FINALLY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, BUT UNTIL NOW (JANUARY 2011) NISSAN DID NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND DID NOT TAKE ANY PREVENTIVE ACTION. *TR

AS CAR ACCELERATES TO 20 MPH, THERE IS A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT/UNDERCARRIAGE AREA. NOISE WAS NOTICED THE FIRST WEEK OF PURCHASE. THE CAR NOW HAS 7,500 MILES ON IT. WHEN IT WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER, THE LEAD TECH HAD ME RIDE WITH HIM TO DUPLICATE THE NOISE--IT HAPPENED. HE THEN TOOK ME FOR A RIDE IN A NEW MODEL ON THE LOT AND IT SEEMED TO PRODUCE THE SAME NOISE. HE ENDED THE RIDE AND DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION. HE TOLD ME I WAS THE 4TH PERSON TO COME IN WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. HE STATED IT WAS THE ABS COMPLETING A SELF CHECK CYCLE...WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE VERY NOISY. THIS IS VERY HARD TO ACCEPT ON A NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE. IT'S VERY EMBARRASSING. *TR

2010 NISSAN ALTIMA, APPROXIMATELY 9500 MILES. CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY IN THE EVENING, FIRST VERY COLD NIGHT OF THE YEAR, ABOUT 10 DEGREES. WHEN I ENTERED CAR AT APPROXIMATELY 8AM THE NEXT MORNING, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE WINDOW WAS STILL WHOLE, NO AREAS PUSHED IN, JUST FULLY SPIDERED WITH CRACKS, BUT STILL IN PLACE. UPON INSPECTION, IT JUST COLLAPSED INTO AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. CAR WAS IN PRIVATE LOCATION, NO CHANCE THAT IT WAS HIT OR OTHERWISE IMPACTED. MUST HAVE BEEN MFG DEFECT. DEALERSHIP NO HELP, DIRECTED TO CONTACT INSURANCE, NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE NO HELP, JUST CONTACT INSURANCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH WHEN THE CONTACT ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL, CAUSING THE TRUNK TO OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THERE IS NO INNER LOCK ON THE CONTROL TO PREVENT THE TRUNK FROM OPENING WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.

TL*THE CONTACT LEASED A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUSPENSION FAILED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING 70 MPH; THE VEHICLE ALSO SHOOK AT LOW SPEEDS AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING MORMAL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO REFERRED HER TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 897. UPDATED 01/20/11 *BF THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE SHOCKS WERE TOO WEAK FOR THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND WOULD NOT TURN, AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT GIVING THE ACCURATE SPEED. UPDATED EVOQ 02./18/11 UPADTED 04/15/11

PURCHASED MY NEW ALTIMA 3.5 A FEW MONTHS AGO. HAD A PROBLEM THE SECOND WEEK, SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, I ACCELERATED BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. HAD TO ACCELERATE A LOT TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE VERY LITTLE AND VERY SLOWLY. HAD I BEEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED A FEW TIMES AS I PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE. UPON RETURNING TO THE CAR HOURS LATER THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED FINE. MONTHS LATER AFTER A 3 1/2 HOUR DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY, I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY EXIT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS, THE CAR ONLY ACCELERATED PROPERLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE FOLLOWING DAY (MONDAY) I DROVE THE CAR TO MY NISSAN DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM, I NEVER HAD ANY WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL. THEY RAN TESTS, FOUND NOTHING, ROAD TESTED AND DETERMINED I HAD A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. BRAND NEW CAR. THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. NISSAN IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION AS I WRITE THIS REPORT, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO TO PREVENT OTHERS FROM SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. I WAS LUCKY. *TR

2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE AUTOMATIC PUSH BUTTON IGNITION WOULD NOT START THE ENGINE. IT CRANKED SEVERAL TIMES THEN DID NOTHING WHEN PUSHED. WAITED 15-20 MINUTES AND THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP. UPON STARTING THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES REGISTERED. THEY CHECKED FURTHER BUT COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE AND TOLD ME IT WOULD HAVE TO TOTALLY BREAK BEFORE THEY COULD FIND IT. THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IGNITION FLAW AND WE'RE EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND OF BEING STRANDED. *TR

LAST WEEK I RENTED A NISSAN ALTIMA FROM HERTZ. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD DRIVEN THIS CAR. THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE LOCATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SPACING BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR. I WEAR A SIZE 10 SHOE AND THE EDGE OF MY SHOE KEPT GETTING CAUGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I MOVED MY FOOT TO APPLY THE BRAKE. I NARROWLY ESCAPED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS. THERE IS NO SPACE BETWEEN THESE 2 PEDALS! *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION IS WARMED UP AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES. ONCE WARM, FROM A COMPLETE STOP, I LIGHTLY ACCELERATE TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE CAR HESITATES LIKE I AM NOT EVEN PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR SO I PRESS HARDER ALMOST TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE CAR FINALLY AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATES OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THIS SITUATION HAPPENS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM FOR THE PAST MONTH. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THAT YOU CAN BE ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING AT 60MPH AND JUST LOOSE ALL POWER AND CANT ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY CANT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TO JUST LEAVE IT WITH THEM TO SEE IF THEY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, BUT I HAD ALREADY EXPLAINED THAT THE LIGHT HAS NEVER CAME ON. THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT IF THE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON AND THEY DON'T GET A "CODE" FROM IT THAT THEY CANT FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH NISSAN KNOWS THAT THEIR IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CVT SO THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

'09 ALTIMA WOULD NOT START. SECOND OCCURRENCE IN ONE WEEK. JUMPED CAR AND TOOK IT TO GETTEL SARASOTA, FL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS - FAULTY "BRAKE SWITCH", NEEDED TO START KEYLESS IGNITION THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A "COMMON" PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. REPLACED PART AND NO PROBLEMS SINCE. KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED. MY SO HAS A '07 ALTIMA, AND EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THE SAME WEEK IN NAPLES, FL. MINE WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY, BUT HE HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW PART. GO FIGURE! I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD CAUSE A RECALL. ( NO OLD PARTS AVAILABLE, TO MY KNOWLEDGE.) *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PUSH BUTTON AUTOMATIC START IGNITION WOULD NOT OPERATE WHEN ENGAGED. THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. THE CONTACT HAD SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS WITH THE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVED WITH THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

CAR IS ALL OVER THE ROAD WHEN SPEED REACHES 70 MPH OR MORE. FEELS LIKE YOUR DRIVING IN A HURRICANE WHEN THERE'S NO WIND AT ALL PRESENT. BROUGHT THIS TO NISSAN'S ATTENTION, BUT THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THERE ARE NO CHIMES TO ALERT/REMIND YOU OF PUTTING ON SEAT BELTS. WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, PASSENGER CAN UNDO SEATBELT AND NO WARNING CHIME WILL OCCUR. AGAIN, NISSAN SAID THIS IS NORMAL FOR THEIR CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE MOVED VERY SLOWLY. THIS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY AND IT ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDICATING ANY TYPE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. AFTER RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE TRANSMISSION FAULTY CODES WERE DETECTED INDICATING THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS ON BACK ORDER. THEY ALSO ARE NOT SURE WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE TRANSMISSION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

I HAVE A 2010 ALTIMA BOUGHT IN MARCH 2010 THAT HAS STARTED TO JERK WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT IS NOT DRIVING NORMAL BUT AFTER TALKING TO NISSAN TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM I JUST RECEIVED A CALL THAT STATES THAT THEIR ENGINEER SAID THAT THE PROBLEM I'M EXPERIENCING IS NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE PROBLEM IS CONTINUING TO GET WORSE AND NOW I'M WORRIED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE COULD LOSE POWER. I DO NOT FEEL THAT CONTINUING TO DRIVE MY CAR IN THIS CONDITION IS SAFE. THE CAR DID NOT HAVE THESE COMPLICATIONS WHEN I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW SO I'M SURE THIS ISN'T A NORMAL CONDITION. MY MOTHER HAS THE SAME CAR BOUGHT TWO DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT MINE AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THIS CONDITION. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE NISSAN CONSUMER DEPARTMENT BUT AND VERY CONCERNED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE URGENCY IN THIS MATTER. *TR

MY FACE ACTUALLY JUST TOUCHED MY STEERING WHEEL! I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT UNLESS THE CAR IS HIT IN PRECISELY THE RIGHT POINT NEAR A SENSOR THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY!! I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH A STUPID EXCUSE AND AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING IF MY CAR GETS "TOTALED" OF GOING WITH A DIFFERENT MAKE - NOT NISSAN! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF ONE OF MY GRANDCHILDREN HAD BEEN IN THE CAR. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THANKFULLY I AM "OK" ALTHOUGH MY BACK IS IN PAIN AS WELL AS MY NECK! THEY SAID I MAY HAVE TO RETURN FOR AN MRI IF IT GETS WORSE. *TR
