2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED HIM TO GO TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED PER A RECALL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR AIR BAG RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. UPDATED 09/30/16*LJ *TR

MY TPMS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE SYSTEM IS READING ZERO PSI IN ALL TIRES. THEY SAID IT WAS A PART OF THE SYSTEM THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND DOESN'T WANT TO ADDRESS IT. SO IF I WANT IT FIXED ITS GONNA COST ME OVER $200. MY WIFE WHO HAS A 2009 MURANO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TPMS LIGHT BEING ON AND READING ZERO PSI IN ALL TIRES.

" TAKATA RECALL" MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIAM DASH IS SO STICKY AND CRACKING ALL THE WAY DOWN. I WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR NISSAN TO REPLACE IT ALL WITH WE PARTS!!!! IT IS HARD TO DRIVE WITH THE SUN COMIMG IN THE WIDOW HITTING THE DASH. PLEASE FIX THIS FOR EVERYONE. ALSO MY CAR IS ALWAYS OUTSIDE. ALSO I REALLY LOVE MY CAR. I WOULD HATE TO GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE OF THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ECM MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000.

ANOTHER MELTING DASHBOARD; THIS TIME IN NORTH ALABAMA. IT'S STARTING FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN IN PICTURES THE NORMAL STARTING PLACES, WHICH IS AT THE DEFROST AIR VENTS, THE LEDGE BETWEEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DEFROST AIR VENTS (WHERE THE DASH APPEARS AS A TWO PIECE COMES TOGETHER) AND RIGHT ABOVE THE THREE AIR VENTS. THE GLARE IT CREATES ON MY WINDSHIELD IS UNBEARABLE, AND MAKING VISIBILITY VERY POOR.

THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO CLASSIFY THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE SOFTWARE IS INCORRECTLY CLASSIFYING THE PASSENGER SEAT AS EMPTY WHEN IT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. IT HAPPENS ON A STREET AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS INTERMITTENT WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED UPON REQUEST BUT IT DOES HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY. I HAVE SUBMITTED OTHER REQUESTS IN THE PAST BUT WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THE OTHER RECALLS AT THAT TIME. (JULY 2011). I ALSO OWN A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA AND JUST RECEIVED A NHTSA RECALL 16V-244 RECALL NOTICE FOR THE SAME THING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDE CRACKED AND MELTED WITH A STICKY SUBSTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,815.

MY CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. A YELLOW LIGHT WITH A KEY APPEARED IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE DASH. THE CAR WOULDN'T START. WE RESEARCHED THE WARNING LIGHT AND TRIED EVERYTHING SUGGESTED SUCH AS DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY, ETC. WITH NO LUCK. I HAVE TO DRIVE TO A CONFERENCE 4 HOURS AWAY TOMORROW AND NOW HAVE NO CAR.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING RECURRING ISSUES INVOLVING THE GAS PEDAL FAILING TO WORK IN MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY, AT A STOP SIGN, OR MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY THE GAS PEDAL WILL UNEXPECTEDLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. I WILL PRESS THE PEDAL WITH ABSOLUTE NO ACCELERATION FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO FLOOR THE PEDAL TO GET MINIMAL EXCELERATION BEFORE THE CAR SUDDENLY PICKS UP SPEED. I HAVE ALMSOT BEEN REAR ENDED WHILE AWAITING FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE TO PROPER TAKE OFF SPEED. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED AND A TUNE UP DONE... STILL TRYING TO ASSESS WHATS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY WHICH SOMETIMES CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. MY DAUGHTER IS 18 AND THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. SHE HAS STATED THAT SOMETIMES ON SUNNY DAYS THERE IS A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSED BY THE STICKY DASHBOARD. MY CONCERN IS FOR HER SAFETY WHEN DRIVING AND THIS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. WE LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE THE HEAT AND SUN CAN BE EXTREME AT TIMES.
