I JUST PURCHASED MY NISSAN NOT EVEN 3 MONTHS AGO AND I'VE HAD TO HAVE IT IN THE 4-5 SHOPS BECAUSE NOBODY COULD FIGURE OUT WHY IT WAS GIVING THE CODE P0335. FINALLY FOUND OUT IT'S THE TIMING CHAIN. I CANT DRIVE MY OWN CAR BECAUSE OF IT AND I FEEL LIKE I GOT ROBBED OF MY MONEY. THE DAM CAR IS STUCK IN LIMP MODE. WE WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED REALLY HARD AN LOST POWER DIDNT HAVE A CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON.

MY 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A STICKY DASHBOARD. THIS CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY. I HAVE READ THAT NISSAN HAS A RECALL IN FLORIDA ONLY. WHAT ABOUT OTHER HOT CLIMATE STATES!! I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, WHAT GIVES.

THE DASHBOARD IS ACTUALLY MELTING AND BECOMING STICKY NOTHING IS ABLE TO CLEAN IT THIS CAUSES A VERY SHINY REFLECTION OF THE SUN THAT BOUNCES BACK ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT HARD TO SEE AT TIMES THEREFORE BEING A HAZARD

PURCHASED 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA ON MARCH 6, 2021 FROM THE CAR HOUSE IN BUTLER, NJ. SINCE THE MOMENT I DROVE OFF THE LOT, MULTIPLE LIGHTS TURNED ON WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE ALTERNATOR AND MULTIPLE 02 SENSORS. THE NEXT DAY I HAD A GARAGE DO AN INSPECTION AND IT TURNED OUT THE CAR NEEDED A REAR CONTROL ARM, SHOCKS, BRAKES AND ROTORS IN ADDITON TO THE LIGHTS. THE DEALER SAID THAT I HAD A 90 DAY WARRANTY BUT WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE CONTRACT. THE DEALER FIXED THE SENSORS AND ALTERNATOR SUPPOSEDLY, BUT HAVEN'T CONTACTED ME BACK ABOUT FIXING THE OTHER ISSUES AND EVERY TIME I CALL THEY HANG UP.

MY WIFE'S CAR SHUTDOWN ON HER LAST MONTH AND I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INDICATED THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD SO I ORDERED A NEW ONE AND THINGS WENT FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND NOW THE FUEL HAND JUST FLUCTUATS UP AND DOWN AND JUST SUDDENLY DROPS TO (E) WHEN IT HAS GAS OR FULL TANK OF GAS IN IT. ALSO THE MILEAGE DISPLAY IS SHOWING INACCURATE READINGS AND BLINKING ON THE DASH ON AND OFF AND MY WIFE IS SCARED NOW TO DRIVE HER 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA ON LONG DRIVES WITH THIS PROBLEM GOING ON!! IT HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION ON A BUSY HWY 278 IN BATESVILLE,MS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT WAS OCCUPIED, THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM FAILED TO REGISTER THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS IN USE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE RELATED TO THE FAILURE. TWIN CITY NISSAN (3247 ALCOA HWY, ALCOA, TN 37701, (865) 970-4132) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG FAILED AND THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,430.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2008 NISSAN ALTMAN IS MELTING AND IS CAUSING EXTREMELY IMPAIRED VISIBILITY DUE TO THE GLARE THAT IS PRODUCED FROM REFLECTION OF LIGHT. ON VERY SUNNY DAYS, I FEEL NERVOUS DRIVING BECAUSE IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO SEE. ALSO, WHEN I INITIALLY START THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME EACH DAY, IT GIVES OFF THIS NOXIOUS ODOR THAT CAUSES MUCH CONCERN ABOUT THE TOXICITY OF THESE FUMES. THE ISSUE FIRST BECAME APPARENT IN APPROXIMATELY 2016, BUT HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOME WORSE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED CAUSING DANGEROUS SUN GLARE. THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY, GOODY LIQUID LIKE REFLECTIVE SURFACE. THE EXTREME REFLECTIVENESS OF THE MELTED SURFACE MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING IN SUNSHINE.
