NISSAN 999R5-AR000 Complaints

POWER VALVE SCREWS FELL INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD PLATE ON 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2002 NISSIAN ALTIMA 2.5 STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR HAD BEEN IDLING VERY ROUGH AND ENGINE VIBRATION AS WELL AS INTERMITTENT POWER LOSS 24 HOURS PRIOR TO ISSUE. TOOK IT TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS. BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE PVC VALUE SCREW FELL INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS WAS ALSO CONFIRMED BY NISSAN. HOWEVER IT WAS ONLY RECALLED ON THE 2004-2006 MODELS. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT NISSAN HAD TO REPLACE MY ENGINE ON MY VEHICLE IN 2004, THEREFORE MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT BECAUSE MY CALL IS 02 NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE PROBLEM. 2002 MODELS NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2003 NISSAN MURANO SL AWD. THE FUEL TANK SHROUD WAS INSTALLED IN COMPLIANCE WITH RECALL CAMPAIGN 06V003000. THE SHROUD IS OF SUCH A BAD DESIGN THAT IT HAS BROKEN IN NORMAL WINTER DRIVING. THE MATERIALS USED ARE TOO WEAK AND THE DESIGN DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PROTECTION FOR THE TANK. OVERALL, THIS DESIGN IS TERRIBLE, AND DOES NOT SOLVE THE REQUIREMENT OF PROTECTING THE FUEL TANK. NISSAN NEED TO COME UP WITH A BETTER DESIGN THAT BETTER CONFORMS TO THE PROFILE OF THE FUEL TANK--THE CURRENT DESIGN PROTRUDES DOWN TOO FAR AND IS TOO EASILY DAMAGED. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH KEEP BLINKING IN THE OFF/ON POSITION. TURN THE AIRBAG OFF, THEN BACK ON AND IT STARTED BLINKING AND KEEPS BLINKING WHILE TRUCK IS RUNNING. *TR

MY BRAKES WERE LOSING POWER WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELING 'MUSHY' AND BRAKE LIGHT ON. THE DEALER, MAITA NISSAN, ADVISED ME THAT THE SPARE TIRE, HAD RUBBED A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINING GOING TO THE REAR BRAKE DRUMS. NISSAN DID NOT FEEL THAT THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE, BECAUSE THE SPARE TIRE WAS OVERSIZED, COMPARED TO THE RECOMMENDED TIRE SIZE (SEARS HAD INSTALLED A WRANGLER P26570S17 TO SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT ON 9/21/2004). PER NISSAN, THE RECOMMENDED TIRE WAS P266565,17. FORTUNATELY, THE LOSS OF HYDRAULIC FLUID AND LOSS OF BRAKING FLUID DID NOT LEAD TO A CRASH OR INJURY. AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, AS THE OWNER, I DID NOT AUTHORIZE SEARS TO INSTALL THE WRONG SIZE TIRE TO MY VEHICLE AND AM CERTAIN THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA THAT THE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS ERROR COULD LEAD TO RUBBING A HOLE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM 4 YEARS LATER. I REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER NOTIFY NISSAN OF THE INCIDENT, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE THAT OTHER NISSAN XTERRA SE OWNERS WILL BENEFIT FROM MY EXPERIENCE (THE SE SERIES CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH A 17 INCH CUSTOM TIRE AND RIM WHICH IS A SET-UP FOR THIS TYPE OF ERROR AND SENTINEL EVENT). *TR

2005 XTERRA 35000 MILES FILLED UP AT GAS STATION GAUGE WENT TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. THE DTE READ ------ . DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS AFFECTING ALL EXTERRA WHICH SEEMS TO INDICATE THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL MODELS, INCLUDING XTERRA'S. NOW TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THEY APPARENTLY WON'T COVER IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS THIS IS AFFECTING ALL CUSTOMERS. *TR

I OWN A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA , I HAVE TO PUT A QUART OF OIL IN THIS CAR EVERY 50 MILES, FROM WHA T I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM , THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND REFUSES TO ADMIT TO THE PUBLIC THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MOTOR, THAT THE RECALL WILL COST THE COMPANY TO MUCH IN REPAIRS. WE ARE A FAMILY ON A FIXED INCOME AND CAN'T AFFORD THE $6000.00 FOR REPAIRS ON THIS CAR. NISSAN ASKS SO MUCH FOR THESE CARS THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND REPAIR THIS DEFECT!!!! *TR

I PURCHASED THIS XTERRA IN MAY OF 2006. IN THE PAST 8 WEEKS I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY 06 NISSAN XTERRA TOWED TO THE DEALER SIX TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE OF NOT STARTING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD I WAS OUT OF GAS. SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN TOLD THE SECURITY MODULE HAD GONE BAD, I HAD CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINAL CAUSING IT TO GO IN TO STOLEN MODE, THE FUEL PUMP HAD GONE BAD (REPLACED TWICE), AND THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE FUEL PUMP HAD A SHORT IN IT (REPLACED TWICE). THE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WANT TO GIVE ME MY CAR BACK WITHOUT ACTUALLY FINDING OUT THE REAL ISSUE. THIS IS MY FAMILY VEHICLE AND I DO NOT DO ANY TOWING OR OFF-ROAD WITH IT. PRIOR TO THESE ISSUES, MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 11K MILES AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF AN INTERSTATE FOR OVER 3 HOURS WHILE I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK, AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS REPLACED. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS BROKEN TWICE UNDER WARRANTY AND REPAIRED. NOW IT HAD BROKEN A THIRD TIME OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. TSB'S HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND NOW A NEW PART NUMBER HAS BEEN LISTED, WHICH REALLY COMBINES THE TWO PREVIOUS FIX PART NUMBERS. EXTREMELY UNSAFE! GOD HELP MOST NISSAN MURANO PEOPLE IF THEY GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A BROKEN SEAT. *TR

MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE I-10 WHEN HE SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD CRACK AND THE SEAT WAS SUDDENLY LOPSIDED. I THEREFORE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT HAVING IT REPAIRED AND IF MY WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS AND LABOR WOULD COST $846, I ALSO HAD TO PAY THE $90 WHETHER OR NOT I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I CONTACTED MY WARRANTY COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED AFTER THE 36000 MILE. MY CAR HAD ROUGHLY 60K MILES AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. I NOW HAVE TO RIDE WITH TWO LARGE PHONE BOOKS UNDER MY SEAT IN ORDER TO DRIVE. I ASKED THAT A SUPERVISOR CONTACT ME AND NO ONE EVER DID. I NOW HAVE 72K MILES AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE ABOUT REPAIRING THIS BEFORE IT HITS 100K. I AM NOT QUITE SURE OF THE DATE BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT WAS SOMETIME IN JANUARY. *TR
