2010 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

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.

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.
