1995 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

95 NISSAN ALTIMA AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AFTER 103,000 MILES ON CAR. I FEEL THIS MODULE SHOULD BE REPLACED BY NISSAN FREE OF CHARGE. *LA

BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING - NO CRASH INVOLVED. CAR WAS MOVING ABOUT 1 MPH - HAD JUST BARELY STARTED TO PULL FORWARD. BASE OF BAGS CAUGHT FIRE - SMOLDERED FOR 30-40 MINUTES. BAGS HAD TO BE CUT OFF TO PROVIDE VISION TO DRIVE CAR HOME. CURRENT, CAR WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT START UP. *LA

THE VEHICLE WAS IN A MILD FRONTAL COLLISION AT 5 MPH AND BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. PER THE OWNERS MANUA, THE AIR BAGS SHOULD ONLY DEPLOY IN 30 MPH AND FASTER COLLISIONS. VEHICLE HAD BEEN TOTALED DUE TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS. CONSUMER FELT THAT THE DEFECT DESCRIBED IN RECALL 03 V 150 000 WAS THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE.*AK *TS *JB

MY ALTIMA WAS PURCHASED IN JANUARY, 2002 WITH ABOUT 67,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT IS A 1995 MODEL. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT IN MORE THAN SEVEN TIMES AND HAVE PAID AT LEAST $2,000. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE HAD TO GO IN THREE TIMES TO REPAIR MY GEAR SHIFT. IT REPEATEDLY LOCKS INTO THE PARK POSITION AND IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR ON, YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THEN START IT. WHENEVER THAT HAS HAPPENED, MY BRAKE LIGHT STOPS WORKING ALSO. I DO NOT KNOW HOW I GET FROM PLACE TO PLACE SAFELY WHEN MY BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS, THEREFORE, I LOSE MONEY BECAUSE MY WORK REQUIRES THAT I TRAVEL BY CAR ON A DAILY BASIS. THE MECHANICS KEEP REPAIRING THE SAME ELECTRICAL FUSES, WHICH MUST BE FAULTY BECAUSE WHENEVER THEY ARE REPLACED, THE GEAR SHIFT WORKS AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK. LESS THAN SIX MONTHS LATER, I AM BACK AT THE MECHANIC TO HAVE THE SAME THING REPAIRED AGAIN. MY CAR IS PARKED INDEFINITELY BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT AGAIN AND I HAVE TO START THE CAR BY PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM AGAIN!!!!!!PS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT OEM MEANS WHICH IS WHY I HAVE A YES AND A NO ANSWER....*AK

THE CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT EARLIER THIS YEAR. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FACIAL AREA AND A BROKEN WRIST. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT CHANGING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. *AK

WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TO RECALL REGARDING THE AIR BAG PERFORMED, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER IT WOULD TAKE 2 HOURS AS STATED ON THE RECALL LETTER, HOWEVER WHEN THE CONSUMER DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALER LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, WHEN SHE CALLED SHE WAS TOLD NO ONE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO BE LOOKED AT, AND ANOTHER APPOINTMENT HAD TO BE MADE.*MR *TT *JB

THERE IS A MAJOR SHORTAGE IN MY CAR. THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK RIGHT AND WHEN YOU BRAKE ONLY ONE SIDE WORKS, THIS HAD INTERFERED WITH THE INTERNAL LIGHTING. SOMETHING IS ALWAYS WRONG UNDER THE HOOD. YOU SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEM TO FINALLY FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER THEY HAVE REPLACED THINGS THAT DIDN'T NEED TO BE FIXED. *JB

VEHICLE'S WELDING THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE PEDAL CAME OFF, CAUSING VEHICLE TO KEEP ACCELERATING. DEALER NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK
