2010 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

THE BRAKE COULDN'T BE PRESSED SO THE PUSH BUTTON START WOULDN'T WORK. ALSO, THE ABS & VDC LIGHTS STAY ON EVEN WHILE DRIVING(SOMETIMES). YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN LATE TO WORK, UNABLE TO TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL, AND AFRAID TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR THAT I USED TO LOVE, IN FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO START THE DARN THING!! I SEE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME TYPE OF ISSUE. IS THERE ANY KIND OF RECALL? *TR

THIS ISSUE FORCE ME TO SPEND 1600 FOR A NEW STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE I CAR WOULD NOT STARTED. *TR

MY WIFE JUST PHONED TO TELL ME THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED-AGAIN- LEAVING HER STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT IN A BAD PART OF HOUSTON (SW). THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND HAS BEEN TAKEN TO NISSAN DEALER IN ANGLETON, TEXAS FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN DECEMBER OF 2014 THEY INSTALLED A TRANSMISSION COOLER,THINKING IT'S AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM. MY WIFE STATED SHES GLAD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY AS IT MIGHT HAD CAUSED A COLLISION WITH POSSIBLE DEATH,ETC. NISSAN HAS NOT RESOLVED THESE CVT ISSUES AND YOU-NHTSA- HAVE NOT FORCED THEM TO DO SO EITHER. WHEN THE CVT FAILS YOU LOSE POWER AS IT GOES INTO A DEFAULT MODE. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSES LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND ABILITY TO MOVE OUT OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO PARK THE CAR AND WAIT FOR IT TO COOL,THUS RESETTING THE DEFAULT MODE. AT THIS POINT NISSAN HAS ADVISED TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR A CODE SCAN. THIS IS DANGEROUS ENOUGH THAT I PLAN TO TAKE THE CAR IN WITH THE INTENTION OF GETTING RID OF IT!!! I WILL TRADE IT IN FOR A TOYOTA CAMRY BUT UNFORTUNATELY SOME OTHER PERSON WILL BE STUCK WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS CVT ISSUES AND COULD ALSO BE KILLED OR INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT FORCED NISSAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO YOU OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. *TR
