2009 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, A LOUD HUMMING NOISE AND A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD AS WELL AS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER LE BLANC NISSAN OF GONZALES LOUISIANA IN THE MONTH OF JUNE 2017, THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A BAD IGNITION COIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOW TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING A CATALYTIC CONVERTER FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BLINKING ON AND OFF. I NEED TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SENSOR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSING A GLARE TO MY WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO VISIBLY SEE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING BUT IT DEFINITELY CAUSING A PROBLEM FOR ME TO SEE CLEARLY.

CAR WILL NOT START DUE TO THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK, IT WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME.

NISSAN WAS A CAR I REALLY TRUST, BUT FROM NOW MY OPINION CHANGED. I BOUGHT MY NEW NISSAN IN 2009 FROM A NISSAN DEALER. AFTER FOUR YEARS OF USE (2013) THE NISSAN RELEASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A EN ELECTRONIC PIECE THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL (THE FAMOUS ESCL). MY CAR STOP WORKING DUE TO THIS ISSUE, IT COULDN'T TURN ON BECAUSE WAS LOCKED BY THE FAULTY ELECTRONIC PIECE. I USE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OK EVERYBODY HAPPY, FOUR YEARS LATER 2017, SAME PROBLEM, SAME PIECE, SAME ISSUE (FAULTY ESCL) COST: $1,100.00 CALLED NISSAN, I SUBMITTED ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION (INSURANCE CARD, BILL TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE, ) I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS THEY DON'T TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE PIECE HAS ALREADY BEEN CHANGED BY ANOTHER DEFECTIVE (THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL) ESCL PIECE THAT LAST 4 YEARS. I REALLY THINK VERY DISSAPOINTED HOW NISSAN TREAT ITS CUSTOMERS. THIS IS MY THIRD CAR I BUY THROUGH NISSAN, I AM REALLY RECONSIDERING MY NEXT CAR TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR BRAND. NISSAN FAULTY PIECES SHOULD NOT BE RE-USED TO FIX ISSUES MOMENTARILY.

MY AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK ON THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE. THEY HAVE STOPPED WORKING FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE LIGHT IS STEADY BLEAKING ON THE DASH SHOWING ITS NOT WORKING.

[XXX] SINCERELY [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WON'T START ESLC STEERING WHEEL LOCK DEFECTIVE. PURCHASED CAR THEN STOPPED AT GAS STATION TURNED OFF CAR WON'T START AGAIN. SHOWED YELLOW KEY FLASHINGS LIGHT ON DASH.

TAKATA RECALL - ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS NOT YET BEEN AFFECTED BY HE RECALL I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL BE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IS FAULTY WHICH AFFECTS THE AMBER DASHBOARD PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FROM WORKING PROPERLY WHICH THEREFORE WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT. OR MORE SO ALLOWING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SENSOR DISARMS THE WHOLE AIRBAG SYSTEM FROM WORKING PROPERLY WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.
