2007 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

THE REAR SWAY BAR IS BROKEN, I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAS MY CAR EVER BEEN TOWED. NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN HOW IT BROKE IN HALF. *TR

WHILE EITHER STARTING OR AFTER STARTING MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT ENGAGE. THIS CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO EITHER NOT START OR THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO INCLUDE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNLESS THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME MY LIGHTS WORKED FINE. THEN I PARKED MY CAR FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS IF NEEDED TO STOP FAST. I HAVE READ FORUMS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES, LIKE YEAR AND MODEL. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT NIGHT IT IS EASIER TO TELL THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP. BUT DURING THE DAY YOU EXPECT THE LIGHTS TO WORK AND THEY MIGHT NOT. *TR

THE REAR SWAY BAR ON THE REAR SUSPENSION OF MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SE BROKE IN HALF WITHOUT ANY REASON. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA 4 CYL SL. I WAS COMING HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP, AND MY CAR STARTED CUTTING OUT. I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD. MY TWO CHILDREN, AND MY DAUGHTER'S FRIEND, THREE PUPPIES, AND MYSELF RAN AWAY FROM THE CAR. I CALLED 911, BUT BY THE TIME THE EUFAULA FIRE DEPT. GOT THERE MY CAR WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. MY CAR IS A COMPLETE LOSS, AND I LOST EVERYTHING INSIDE THE CAR. *TR

BROKEN REAR SWAY BAR ON 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S. BROKE AT CHASSIS LINK, NO HARSH TREATMENT OR ACCIDENT CAUSED THIS. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT LAST SUNDAY AND MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS DAMAGED IRREVERSIBLY WITH THE FRONT OF THE CAR, INCLUDING THE ENGINE, PUSHED INWARD AND THE FRAME OF THE CAR BENT. THE CAR WAS HIT TWICE FIRST BY LEFT SIDE BY A CAR COMING AT 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHEN MY CAR TURNED AND HIT THE CAR ON MY RIGHT SIDE. WITH THIS SERIOUS DAMAGE, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WILL LIKE SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE IF IT IS BECAUSE OF FLAW IN THE CAR. I CANT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE ACCIDENT WAS BIGGER AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT WORK... *TR

REAR STABILIZER/SWAY BAR BROKE AND FELL DOWN NEXT TO THE REAR SUSPENSION. THE BROKEN PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AND COULD HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO REAR BRAKE/SUSPENSION RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL. I CALLED LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER AND HE INDICATED THEY HAD OBSERVED SWAY BAR FAILURE, BUT THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS/RECALLS. *TR

2007 NISSAN ALTIMA CORROSION ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE SWAY BAR. SWAY BAR BROKE FORM THE RUST, NOW CAR FEELS LIKE WIND PUSHING MY CAR WHEN I DRIVE. *TR

THE REAR SWAY BAR ON MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SL SNAPPED, WITH NO SIGNS OF IMPACT OR OTHER CAUSE TO BE SEEN. CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. *TR

IN MARCH 2010 WHILE IN FLORIDA THE ENGINE IN MY 2007 HYBRID ALTIMA DEVELOPED A "KNOCK" OR "RAP" WHEN COLD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN VENICE, FL AND AFTER KEEPING IT OVERNIGHT THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INDEED HAS A PROBLEM THAT SOUNDED LIKE VALVES, BUT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO WORK ON HYBRID VEHICLES. I CONTACTED THE SELLING DEALER IN MAINE AND THROUGH THE NISSAN REP FOR NE FOUND A DEALER IN FT MYERS FLORIDA WHO WOULD LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEY HAD EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND TALKED WITH NISSAN AND BELIEVED THE NOISE WAS A BUILDUP OF CARBON ON THE EXHAUST VALVES. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION AND WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE RETURNED TO MAINE IN MAY THE DEALERSHIP IN BANGOR MAINE SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM OTHER THAN NORMAL NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THEY COULD FIND NO NISSAN RECORD OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR THE FLORIDA NISSAN FACTORY REP TO CONTACT ME. *TR
