2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

I PARKED MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SE AT MY DOOR TOOK GROCERIES INSIDE AND WENT BACK TO PARK MY CAR,AND IT WOULD NOT START I COULD GO THRU THE DIFFERENT MODES OF THE PUSH BUTTON START BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I GET IT TOWED TO NISSAN AND THE TELL ME MY ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK HAS GONE BAD THEY ALSO TELL ME THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THE SAME PART ON THE 2009 MODELS. PRICE TAG TO FIX THE E.S.C.L $800 THIS IS SO UNFAIR I BELIEVE THE 08 MODELS ALTIMA SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE ALREADY INEFFECT RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT PART. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE 2 TRANSMISSIONS IN MY CAR. I HAD TO REPLACE AT 63000 MILES AND NOW I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AT 149000. THIS 2ND TRANSMISSION HAS ONLY ABOUT 85000 . NISSAN WON'T OWN UP TO THEIR PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. I AM NOT REPLACING AGAIN FOR A 3RD TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. *TR

SECTIONS OF MY DASHBOARD ARE MELTING. THIS CONDITION MAKES VISIBILITY VERY DIFFICULT DUE TO THE GLARE OFF OF THE MELTED DASHBOARD ON SUNNY DAYS. *TR

REGARDING 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA: THE AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR DRAIN HOSE IS POORLY ENGINEERED LEADING TO WATER DRAINING BACK INTO THE VEHICLE AS OPPOSED TO OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE WATER WILL POOL IN THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE AND CONTINUE TO COLLECT WATER UNTIL IT MOVES FORWARD TOWARD THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SIDE. WITHOUT CORRECTING THIS DEFECT THE WATER WILL LEAD TO MOLD/FUNGUS GROWTH, ROTTED CARPET, RUSTED FLOOR WELLS, AND POTENTIALLY ELECTRICAL DAMAGE AS THERE IS A MAIN ELECTRICAL WIRE THAT RUNS ALONG THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR THAT PARALLELS THE EVAPORATOR DRAIN HOSE. *TR

I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL ON MELTED DASHBOARDS FOR TOYOTA AND NISSAN VEHICLES, SO I DECIDED TO FILE A CLAIM. THE DASHBOARD IN MY CAR STARTED TO MELT A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT, WHICH WAS A YEAR AGO. *TR

VEHICLE DASH MELTING. THIS MAKES VISIBILITY VERY LIMITED. GLARE IS STRONG. STICKY, SHINY AND DANGEROUS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY NISSAN IS MELTING, WHICH CAUSES SEVERE GLARE ON WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE THE ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE IS MELTING AWAY CAUSE OF THE SUN. I HAVE READ BLOGS ONLINE SAYING IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DURING THE DAY BECAUSE OF THE REFLECTIVE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IM AFRAID IT MAKE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I LIMIT DRIVING DURING THE DAY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

THE DASHBOARD FIRST STARTED GETTING STICKY AND THEN IT STARTED PROGRESSING REALLY FAST WITH THE ALL OVER MELTING AND SINKING IN. THE GLARE WAS SO BAD THAT I FIRST PUT A TOWEL ON IT TILL IT WAS STUCK AND I HAD A HARD TIME REMOVING IT AFTER I GOT A DASHBOARD COVER. NOW I CAN SEE CRACKS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS AND THE SIDE BY THE RADIO. THE SMELL IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I'M REALLY EMBARRASSED ABOUT ANYONE RIDING IN MY CAR EVER THOUGH IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE. I'M HOPING THE CAR MANUFACTURE GETS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THAT THEY WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I KNOW I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN AND WHEN YOU ARE COMPARING THE PRICE OF A NEW CAR COMPARED TO WHAT REPAIRING THE PROBLEM WOULD BE. IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO GO AHEAD AN FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THE OWNERS OF THE CAR.. *TR

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA COUPE HAS A MELTING DASHBOARD. THE DASH IS MELTING SO BAD THAT IT IS CAUSING AN EXTREMELY BAD GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD AND I CAN'T SEE BRAKE LIGHTS OF CARS AHEAD OF ME OR EVEN A CAR IF IT'S SMALL. *TR
