2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5SL DASHBOARD MELTING AND CRACKING, NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THE SUNLIGHT BECAUSE IT WILL SHINE ON WINDSHIELD.

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY ONE EVENING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN. I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR SEEMS TO GO EVEN SLOWER. IT WAS MYSELF AND MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY WAS 70 MPH AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION AND A NICE MAN LOOKED AT THE CAR AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO GET BACK ON THE WAY TO GO BACK BECAUSE I DIDN'T TRUST THE CAR TO MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. IT DID THE AME THING AGAIN. SO I DROVE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON ALL THE WAY HOME AND PARKED IT. NOW IT DRIVES FINE RIGHT IN THE SMALL TOWN I LIVE IN BUT I CANT DRIVE IT OUT OF TOWN AT ALL, WHICH REALLY DEFEATS THE PURPOSE.

2008 ALTIMA COUPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUE WITH VEHICLES CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT). *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD INTO LIMP MODE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *JS

AT 120000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON THIS 2.5 L ENGINE. WE PAID $3,000 TO HAVE THAT REPAIRED 10 MONTHS AGO. NOW THE CAR IS USING ABOUT 1 GALLON OF OIL EVERY 3 WEEKS AND WE FOUND THAT CYLINDER 3 HAS PISTON RINGS THAT ARE SHOT. OUR DEALERSHIP CONFIRMS THAT THIS ENGINE IS KNOWN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I NOTICED THAT THE 2006 MODEL ALTIMA WITH A 2.5 L ENGINE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BECAUSE THE CAR USES EXCESSIVE OIL AND AN ENGINE FIRE MAY RESULT. OUR NEWER MODEL WITH THE SAME ENGINE NEARLY RUNS OUT OF OIL EVERY MONTH AND IS VERY HOT. DO WE HAVE ANY RECOURSE WITH NISSAN? ANYONE ELSE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS?

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE TURNED OFF. *JS

A SERVICE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD FAILING MY STATE INSPECTION. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE. THE SAME ISSUES WERE REPORTED ON MY CAR THAT ARE THE SAME AS THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN ALTIMAS 2008 THAT WERE RECALLED. HOWEVER NISSAN STATED MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER RECALL EVEN THOUGH I REPORTED THE SAME ISSUES THAT ARE UNDER RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME OR GIVE ME ANY OPTIONS. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COSTS. THE ISSUES REPORTED UNDER DIAGNOSTIC WAS OCCUPANT SENSOR ( PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION) CODE B 1018.

MY DASHBOARD IS IS FALLING APART THE GLARE ON IT IS HIGH ..I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IN FLORIDA NISSAN LOST OR GAVE IN TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS ISSUE ..TOYOTA ASSISTED ITS CUSTOMERS WITH A RECALL WHY IS NISSAN NOT DOING THE SAME ?

DASH BOARD IS MELTED CAUSING GLARING WHEN DRIVING FROM DASHBOARD AND WINDSHIELD.

THE CAR SEEMS TO "SLIP GEARS" WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE CVT TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SEEM TO ENGAGE AND MOVE THE CAR AT TIMES. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG NISSAN ALTIMAS OF THIS YEAR. RESEARCHING ONLINE THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF SIMILAR ISSUES. THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE AT TIMES WHEN IT IS EXPECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE AND WOULD RANDOMLY DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GERALD NISSAN NAPERVILLE (1575 WEST OGDEN AVE, NAPERVILLE, IL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED IN 2014 PER AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER'S CAMPAIGN FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 212,000.
