THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED ALLOWING CARBON MONOXIDE TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF. NISSAN REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS UNDER WARRANTY AS THE VEHICLE HAD 100K MILES ON IT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 4 CYLINDER ALTIMA'S THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PART WHICH SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO IT'S INHERENT SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS CAN CAUSE OCCUPANTS TO PASS OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF CAUSING DAMAGE AND INJURY TO THIRD PARTY INDIVIDUALS. NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPAIR ALL ISSUES SURROUNDING A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE A MILEAGE LIMITATION IMPOSED. SIMPLY STATED AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD SHOULD NOT EXHIBIT CRACKING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR THE LIFETIME OF A VEHICLE. THIS IS A SOUTHERN CAR WITH NO EVIDENCE OF RUST ON THE EFFECTED PART.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. SHATTERED GLASS FLEW ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ABOUT 9PM. THE ROAD WAS SMOOTH AND ONLY ONE OTHER CAR WAS RIDING ABOUT 100 FEET BEHIND ME. THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO OVERPASSES. *TR

MELTING DASH BOARD CAUSING VISIBILITY TOO BE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING TOWARD THE SUN NISSAN DEALER SAY THEY DO NOT COVER THIS ISSUE. THE GLARE COMING OFF WINDSHIELD FROM DASH BOARD IS A HAZARD TO DRIVING. *TR

WHEN MOVING ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY CAR DOES NOT PICKUP SPEED WHEN PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL, THEN IT JUMPS AND SPEEDS UP QUICKLY. IF CAR IS GOING UP INCLINE IT BARELY MOVES, THEN JUMPS IN GEAR. STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR WAITING FOR CARS TO MOVE, MY CAR BARELY MOVES-THEN PICKS UP SPEED, GOING TOO FAST. I HAD CAR CHECKED AT COLONIAL NISSAN IN FESTERVILLE PA, THEY CLAIM NOTHING WRONG WITH MY EVENTHOUGH I HAD A CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION TECH SAID THE PROBLEM IS THE CVT-TRANSMISSION. THIS IS HAPPENING CONTINUOUSLY. IM AFRAID SOMETHING SERIOUS MAY HAPPEN BEFORE NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS. *TR
