2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

MY DASH-BOARD BECAME SHINER AND WHEN SUN SHINES IT IS HIGHLY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE CAUSE THE SUN RAYS IT ACTUALLY BLINDS ME . I HAVE SPOKE TO NISSAN AND THEY WOULD ONLY FURNISH A NEW DASH BOARD BUT I MUST PAY FOR THE DASH-BOARD, WHICH I FIND IT VERY UNFAIR. PLEASE HELP??

THE DASH OF MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA IS MELTING OR DETERIORATING. IT HAS BECOME SO SHINY THAT WHEN THE SUN OR STREETLIGHTS REFLECT ON MY WINDSHIELD, IT IS ALMOST A COMPLETE WHITE-OUT EFFECT. I NEARLY HIT A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THE STREET BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THEM. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED REPEATEDLY AND I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM THEM. A LOCAL DEALER SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT A DEFECT, BUT I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THE STICKINESS I COULD LIVE WITH, BUT THE WAY IT REFLECTS OFF MY WINDSHIELD IS DANGEROUS.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA HAS THE DASHBOARD MELTING WHICH MAKES IT VISIBLE THRU THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I'VE ALMOST HAD 4 NEAR CAR ACCIDENTS WHERE THE MELTING DASHBOARD WAS THE ISSUE.

2008 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH A MELTING DASHBOARD. VISIBILITY IS BLINDING BY GLARE FROM SHINY DASHBOARD. COST TO REPLACE DASH IS ALMOST $2000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THERE WAS A REFLECTION ON THE DASHBOARD THAT OBSTRUCTED THE CONTACT'S VISION. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS MELTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE FACTORY SOUND SYSTEM FACE PLATE IS BLISTERING. THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY RADIO OVERHEAT OR SOME TYPE OF SHORT. THE RADIO WORKS FINE

CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND IN SERVICE 7/12/2008. CAR HAS GONE THROUGH 4 TRANSMISSIONS WITH LAST TRANSMISSION PUT IN 7/27/2016. CAR ONLY HAS 129K MILES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION AS CAR HAS SHUTTERED AND STALLED AND I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION. NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TOO CONCERNED - MY HUSBAND AND I TRIED TO CONTACT THE CEO OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICA ([XXX]) BUT COULDN'T GET PAST "[XXX]" IN THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. SHE TOLD MY HUSBAND AND I ON A RECORDED LINE THAT SHE REPORTS TO [XXX]. BUT ONLY LATER, AFTER CONTINUING TO PRESS THE ISSUE, SHE ACKNOWLEDGED SHE DOESN'T REPORT TO HIM. ADDITIONALLY, SHE LAUGHED AT MY HUSBAND AND I AS WE DISCUSSED THIS VERY REAL ISSUE (AGAIN...ON A RECORDED LINE....YOU SHOULD SUBPOENA THE TAPES). NO VEHICLE, UNLESS YOU ARE IN A DEMOLITION DERBY, SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH 4 TRANSMISSIONS IN 129K MILES. WE ASKED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO PROVIDE US WITH OUR CAR'S SERVICE HISTORY AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY CANNOT ACCESS THIS AND THE NEVER PROVIDED IT TO US. I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY TOLD ME. I TRIED TO ATTACH A PDF OF MY LETTER TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA/[XXX] ...BUT IT IS 6.7M (TOO BIG). NONETHELESS....I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHARE IT WITH YOU UPON REQUEST.. ALSO ATTACHED IS THE CAR'S COMPLETE SERVICE HISTORY WHICH WAS PROVIDED ONLY THROUGH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE WAS ALOOF AND DID NOT SEEM TO BE CONCERNED THAT THEIR PRODUCT WENT THROUGH 4 TRANSMISSIONS. PLEASE PULL ALL 2008 ALTIMA'S OFF THE ROAD FOR SAFETY'S SAKE.

I OWN A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA (VIN# [XXX]). I HAVE TO TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU: 1) WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE DASHBOARDS TOWARDS THEIR STICKINESS & MELTING? ESPECIALLY SINCE TOYOTA RECALLED THEIRS BECAUSE OF THAT. 2) WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THE TPMS? IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. WITH IT ON ALL THE TIME, HOW ARE SUPPOSED TO TELL WHEN THE AIR IS LOW. IF I TURN IT OFF, IT WON'T COME BACK ON EVEN WHEN THE TIRES ARE LOW. IF I REPLACE ONE, I HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM. NTB HAS EVEN TRIED PUTTING NITROGEN IN THE TIRES. BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, IT STARTED TO MAKE "GRINDING" MOVEMENTS AND STOPPED MOVING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T CRASH. I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSION -- INCLUDING WHEEZING NOISES AND SHIFTING PROBLEMS AND NOW COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CALLED NISSAN THEY REFUSE TO HELP BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 132K MILES AND THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY GOES TO 120K. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 5 YEARS. IT'S ONLY 8 YEARS OLD. THEY INSTITUTED THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO SO MANY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT. BUT I'M OVER THE WARRANTY AND NOW I'M ON THE HOOK FOR 4K IN TRANSMISSION REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR AS I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING LOCK MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
