2009 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSORS FAULTY, LIGHT INDICATES AIR BAG OFF (CONSOLE AMBER), ALSO FLASHING RED LIGHT IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE, NO RECALLS YET BUT IN THE FORUMS IT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT, ALSO THE WHOLE SEAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE COST IT'S MORE THAN $3,000.00.

HAD THE ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL LOCK REPLACED JANUARY OF 2019 FOR THE SECOND TIME. REPLACE IN 2013 ALSO. SERVUCE CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT TOLD NOT MY SPECIFIC MODEL ALTIMA. ALL MODES USE THE SAME PART. CAR WONT START WHEN IT FAILS AND CAN OCCUR ANY TIME. WORRIED IT WILL FAIL IN A DANGEROUS PART OF TOWN. WHEN PART FAILED I WAS OUT OF STATE AND LUCKILY IN A PARKING LOT. WHY IS TIS PART COVERED BY A SERVICE CAMPAIGN BUT ONLY CERTAIN MODELS THAT USE THE SAME PART?

RAIN WATER IS LEAKING FROM MY DASHBOARD AND GETTING ON MY FLOORBOARD. IT WAS STATIONARY AT THE MOMENT

TAKATA RECALL... I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A COMMERCIAL TRK DOING 50 MPH I WAS GOING 5 MPH GETTING READY TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, WHEN HIT. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED & THE SHOULDER HARNESS ON THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK. RESULTING IN CONCUSSION, SERIOUS BACK, NECK & HIP INJURIES.. TWO COMPLETE SAFETY FAILIERS WHEN HIT AT 50+ MPH. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. ## VIN FAILED ## NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 ##

"STEERING LOCK" WHICH CAUSES ME TO BE UNABLE TO START THEIR VEHICLES. THIS DEFECT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT CAUSE.

WITHOUT WARNING OUR NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 WOULD NOT START. UPON MY RESEARCH I FIGURED OUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM WHICH IS PART OF THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE TEMPORARY FIX IS TO BANG ON THE MECHANISM WITH A WRENCH UNTIL THE CAR STARTS.

TAKATA RECALL . NISSAN ALTIMA WHILE PARKED AT A GAS STATION, THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED. KEY FOB WAS STILL WORKING AND COULD OPEN AND LOCK THE CAR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED THE KEY ALERT. I TRIED PUTTING THE KEY IN THE SLOT WHILE DOOR WAS OPEN, NOTHING HAPPENED. CAME TO FIND OUT IT' A DEFECTIVE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN LOCK. REPLACED IT BUT SCARED TO DRIVE IT AS IT IS STILL SHOWING THE KEY ALERT AND MIGHT LEAVE ME STRANDED LIKE IT DID THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART THAT NISSAN IS NOT COVERING FOR ALL 09 ALTIMAS. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN WANTS UP TO 1200$ TO REPLACE IT. EXPENSIVE COST FOR AN OLDER CAR AND FOR THE FACT THAT IT'S NISSAN'S FAULT FOR SELLING A CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE PART.
