THIS COMPLAINT IS NONE OF THE ABOVE BUT I COULD NOT FIND A LINK ON THIS SITE FOR MY SPECIFIC COMPLAINT, THEREFORE, I AM USING THIS TO AIR MY COMPLAINT. MY COMPLAINT IS WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. MY PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF A RECALL ON MY 1995 NISSAN, ALTIMA. MY PROBLEM IS A RESULT OF THE AIRBAG RECALL LAST YEAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO TISCHER NISSAN IN LAUREL, MARYLAND IN JANUARY 2004. THE PANEL IN MY CAR WAS DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I WOULD NOT HAVE A NEED TO COMPLAIN IF THE REPLACEMENT PANEL WAS THE SAME COLOR AS THE ORIGINAL PANEL. I WROTE TO NISSAN IN GARDENA, CA TO COMPLAIN OF THE TERRIBLE SERVICE I RECEIVED AT TISCHER AND THE DAMAGE AND POOR REPLACEMENT OF MY CAR PANEL. NISSAN IGNORED ME UNTIL I CONTACTED THE MARYLAND OFFICE OF CONSUMER PROTECTION REGARDING MY PROBLEM. NISSAN IGNORED ME UNTIL THE OFFICE OF CONSUMER PROTECTION INTERVENED. WHEN NISSAN DID RESPOND, THEIR TONE WAS ARROGANT AND INDIFFERENT AND TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PANEL REPLACEMENT WAS INCIDENTAL TO THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AND THIS OCCURRED TO OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE CASE AND IF IT IS, I PERSONALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY "PROPERTY" BEING ALTERED WITHOUT MY CONSENT AND NISSAN'S ATTITUDE AND STANCE THAT THAT HAVE FULFILLED THEIR OBLIGATION TO ME. I RESPONDED BACK TO THEM BASICALLY INFORMING THEM THAT THEIR REPLY WAS AND IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AND I CONTEND THAT THEY DAMAGED MY PROPERTY BY REPLACING A PANEL THEY DAMAGED WITH A PANEL THAT IS NOT THE SAME COLOR. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER AGENCY TO VOICE MY COMPLAINT TO. I AM ASKING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN FINDING OUT WHAT I CAN DO. THANK YOU. *AK

CONSUMER MADE 3 ATTEMPTS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIR BAG RECALL 03V150000 REPAIRS PERFORMED. HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 MONTHS. *AK THE REPAIRS WERE MADE ON 4/12/04 AND THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE IS SATISFIED WITH THE REPAIRS. *NM

WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION BOTH FRONTAL AIR BAGS WENT OFF INADVERTENTLY. DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. *AK

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 03V150000 CONCERNING PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILURE. CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HEADQUARTERS, AND MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT REPLACEMENT OF DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. CONSUMER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE PARTS AND LABOR. *AK

AS CONSUMER WAS COMPLETING A TURN TO PULL FORWARD ONTO THE ROAD, WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ACCOMPANIED BY A FIRE. *PH THE CONSUMER HAD CONTACTED NISSAN FOR TWO REASONS #1 THERE WAS NO IMPACT OF ANY KIND OR ACCIDENT AND #2 NISSAN ENGINEERS SHOULD FIND OUT WHY THE AIR BAS DEPLOYED OWN IT'S OWN BECAUSE CONSUMER SAFETY IS INVOLVED. *CB

VEHICLE HAS REMOTE LOCK ON STARTER,( IF PAYMENT IS NOT MADE ON DUE DATE). ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASE, REMOTE LOCK FAILED. AT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT WAS MADE 3 TIMES, SINCE THEN OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS HAVE FAILED AND/OR FAILING. AIR CONDITIONING HAS FAILED, WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS HAVE HAPHAZDERLY WORKED OFF AND ON. RADIO DOESN'T WORK SINCE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED. TRANSISSION SHIFT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. HAVE TO GO TO ACCESSORY PUT SHIFTER IN NEUTRAL TO START VEHICLE. WHEN IN PARK START WILL NOT ENGAGE. THERE ARE NO RUBBER BOOTS ON CV JOINTS. DEALER CLAIMED THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER WRECKED OR HAD ANY MAJOR REPAIR WORK DONE. DEALER HAD WARRANTY ON VEHICLE, THEN SOLD BUSINESS, FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE WAS REQUIRED FOR WARRANTY TO BE IN EFFECT. NEW DEALER IS NOT HONORING WARRANTY AND THE VEHICLE IS FALLING APART.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY 1995 ALTIMA FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. I CONTACTED MY DEALER LAST MONTH AND HE SAID THAT I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL I GOT MY LETTER FROM NISSAN. NOW THAT RED LIGHT IS FLASHING AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY REPAIRS NOW AND THEN HAVE THE BAG REPLACED LATER BY NISSAN. PLEASE REMEDY THIS SITUATION ASAP. THANK YOU. LEWIS ZELLER

I AM EXPERIENING PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING ON MY VEHICLE. WHENEVER I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE LIGHTS IN MY DASHBOARD TURN ON. IT APPEARS THERE IS A SHORT IN THE REAR LIGHT WIRES OR SOMETHING. THIS HAS CAUSED MY SHIFTER LIGHT TO BLOW SEVERAL TIMES.*AK

THE PART THAT HOLD THE HOOD LATCH DOWN RUSTED OUT AT THE BASE CAUSING THE HOOD TO PARTIALLY RELEASE WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO HAVE THE BOTTOM WELDED. *LA
