NISSAN Complaints

WHEN THE WEATHER GETS VERY COLD THE BRAKES ON MY ALTIMA 3.5 WILL SEEM TO LOCK UP AND NOT WANT TO LET ME BRAKE. FEELS AS IF SOMEONE HAS STUCK A BRICK UNDER THE PEDAL. I HAVE HEARD MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AND PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP. I'VE REPLACED THE PART ALREADY FOR THIS. FOR THE 3.5 PART NUMBER IS 47430-8J100. THE 2.5 IS 8J000. *TR

MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED RUNNING SLUGGISH, AND TOTALLY RAN OUT OF OIL! MECHANIC SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I BOUGHT ONE - AND THAT ONE WENT ON THE FRITZ TWO DAYS AFTER FIXING IT. THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST SAID IT WAS AN O2 SENSOR. IT RAN OUT OF OIL. NOW I FIND OUT THE CAR IS A LEMON, AFTER I BOUGHT A NEW ENGINE TO BOOT. TWO ENGINES ARE RUINED IN THIS CAR, AND I STILL DON'T HAVE IT PAID FOR. *TR

I PURCHASED AN AFTER-MARKET ENGINE COLD AIR INTAKE FOR MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AFTER I INSTALLED THE INTAKE A PIECE OF METAL FROM THE INTAKE BROKE OF AND GOT LODGED IN THE THROTTLE OF MY VEHICLE DURING A TRIP TO LOS ANGELES, CA. THE METAL PIECE CAUSED MY CAR'S ENGINE TO STALL THE DIE COMPLETELY ON THE FREEWAY WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC IN BARSTOW, CA WHO REMOVED THE METAL DEBRIS FROM THE THROTTLE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE METAL HAD BROKEN LOOSE FROM INSIDE THE INTAKE. WHEN I REMOVED THE INTAKE AND EXAMINED THE INSIDE I FOUND MORE PIECES OF METAL READY TO BREAK FREE. THE METAL FRAGMENTS WERE LEFT HANGING AND CLEANED UP AFTER THE METAL WAS CUT AND THE O2 SENSOR FITTING WAS WELDED ON. *TR

I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CODES TO A "CAM POSITION SENSOR" PROBLEM. I WAS GOING TO HAVE MY REGULAR MECHANIC REPAIR IT, BUT THEN I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS PART. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT TO A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALER AND VERIFY IT WAS A "CAM POSITION SENSOR" CODE. THE DEALER VERIFIED IT WAS.THE DEALER SAID THEIR RECORDS SHOWED THAT PART HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, BUT NISSAN SAID THE REPAIR WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE REPAIR, THE DEALER CALLED ME LATER TO SAY HE COULDN'T REPAIR THE PART BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS THE CONNECTOR NOT THE SENSOR. THE COST JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE SAME PRICE AS THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. ($260.00) I FOUND THAT TO BE A VERY COINCIDENTAL. L TOLD THEM NOT TO REPLACE THE CONNECTOR AND I WOULD LIKE TO RESEARCH THE COST OF THE CONNECTOR TO MAKE SURE THEY WEREN'T PULLING THE WOOL OVER MY EYES. TO DATE THE REPAIR HASN'T BEEN MADE. IS THERE A DANGER TO MY WIFE IF SHE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE? I'D LIKE NISSAN TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE CONNECTOR. MY CASE FILE WITH NISSAN IS # 6381655. THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH WAS MARCUS. HIS EXTENSION AT NISSAN'S 800 PHONE NUMBER IS # 41490. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART GOING OUT TWICE? I'D APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME. *TR GREG THOMPSON

I HAVE A 1995 NISSAN QUEST . THE PASSENGER SIDE LAP SAFETY BELT FIRST WENT OUT OF ORDER (THE BELT STUCK AND COULDN'T BE EXTENDED) IN 2004. THE SAFETY BELT HAS A LIFE TIME WARRANTY. IT WAS REPLACED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 8/17/04. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT LASTED ABOUT ONE YEAR. THE BELT MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AND ON 8/19/2005, IT WAS REPLACED. THIS AND SUBSEQUENT REPLACEMENTS MALFUNCTIONED AND WERE REPLACED ON 11/9/2006, 1/17/2007, AND 7/25/2008. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (800-647-7261) A COUPLE TIMES. ONE TIME A SERVICE REP REFUSED TO LET ME TO TALK TO HER MANAGER. I SENT A LETTER TO NISSAN CORP. WITH ONE OF THE CONSUMER SURVEYS WHICH NISSAN ALWAYS SENDS AFTER WARRANTY WORK AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE REPLACEMENT SAFETY BELTS. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM. SHORTLY AFTER NEW YEAR 2009, THE SAME BELT BROKE AGAIN. THIS IS THE 6TH INFERIOR 'SAFETY BELT'. EVERY TIME I HAVE HAD TO GET THE BELT REPLACED, I HAD TO MISS A HALF DAY WORK. IT SEEMS TO ME THE QUALITY OF THE REPLACEMENT BELTS IS INFERIOR TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL SAFETY BELTS. NONE OF THE OTHER SAFETY BELTS IN THE CAR HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE A CHANCE I COULD GET A BETTER QUALITY BELT? *TR

BOTH BACK PASSENGER DOORS ON THE 2008 ALTIMA SOMETIMES DO NOT CLOSE. AFTER OPENING THE DOORS, AND THEN TRYING TO SHUT THE DOORS THEY DO NOT LATCH SHUT AND BOUNCE BACK TO THE OPEN POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TEN TIMES AND THE DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. WITHIN THE WEEK OF THE PROBLEM BEING "FIXED" IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT IS ONLY THE TWO BACK DOORS NOT THE FRONT ONES. *TR

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
