2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOWN NORTH NISSAN (9160A RESEARCH BLVD, AUSTIN, TX 78758, (512) 451-7411) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OCCUPANT SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

THIS CAR IS DRIVEN ABOUT 5000 MILES PER YEAR. AT 5 YEARS/25000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY WHILE IN MOTION FAILED, LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. THAT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT 10 YEARS/50000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED AGAIN, AGAIN WHILE IN MOTION, LEAVING ME ONCE MORE STRANDED ON THE ROAD. THAT TRANSMISSION ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOW 12 YEARS/60000 MILES AND TODAY THIS TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP AND MAKE A WHIRRING NOISE. (THIS IS THE DATE I HAVE USED BELOW)

I HEARD ON THE RADIO THAT ANYBODY THAT GOT A CRACK IN THEIR WINDSHIELD ON I10 IS TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THAT PART OF THE HIGHWAY IS RIDICULOUS, I HAVE CRACKS. IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS RAINING STONES ON I10.

DIAGNOSTIC SCAN WAS RAN AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT SYSTEM CAME BACK WITH 4 CODES STATING: OCCUPANT SENSOR UNIT FAIL X2 CRASH ZONE SENSOR UNIT FAIL AND COMM FAIL

I BOUGHT A USED 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA, IT DRIVE FINE FOR THE TEST DRIVE I STARTED DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO BRING IT HOME IT STARTED JERKING REAL BAD AND THEN WHEN I GOT TO 40 MPH THE RPMS STARTED DROPPING SO I COULDN'T GO FASTER THEN 20MPH SO I TOOK IT TO A SHOP IT SAID THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE FIXED ON IT , I STARTED DOING SEARCHES IN IT SAID THAT FOR THOSE MAKE IN MODELS OF CARS IT SAID THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE BAD IN TO HAVE A RECALL DONE

INTELLIGENT KEY WARNING LIGHT IS ON WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND IT WON'T START OR DO ANYTHING, THAT IS A SHAME Y'ALL DON'T HAVE NO TYPE OF RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF 2007-2012 HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND Y'ALL ARE NOT DOING GOOD ANYTHING. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THANKS

THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR IS SLOWLY BREAKING DOWN. THE COMPOSITION OF THE MATERIALS HAS DEGRADED, OVER TIME, SO BAD THAT IT HAS LOST ITS SURFACE TEXTURE IN AREAS AND IS NOW SMOOTH AND HIGHLY SHINY/REFLECTIVE. THE SUN IS NOW REFLECTED ON TO MY WINDOW SHIELD AND I AM COMPLETELY BLINDED AND UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD, PEDESTRIANS AND CARS IN FRONT OF ME.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN COHEN ON BEHALF OF HIS CONSTITUENT REQUESTING A RECALL ON HER 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA FOR SAFETY RELATED DEFECTS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND BECAME STICKY. THE DEFECT IMPAIRS THE DRIVERS VISION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED THE EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF A NEW VEHICLE. *JS

DASHBOARD IS MELTING DUE TO HEAT AND SUN IN TEXAS. MELTING GLUE IS CREATING A SEVERE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW THE WINDSHIELD. VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELY LIMITED. DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND CANNOT BE CLEANED OR WIPED OFF.

FOUND DASHBOARD MELTING AND CRACKING AROUND FLAT SURFACE AREAS AND A/C VENTS. EXTREME GLARE WHEN DRIVING!
