2012 NISSAN ALTIMA Complaints

SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR WHERE IT LIMITS THE RPM AND SLOWS THE CAR DOWN A LOT ALMOST MADE A ACCIDENT HAPPEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN TO GET IT FIXED BUT THAT HE SEES THAT A LOT

MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA'S SUNROOF IS LEAKING, WHETHER DRIVING OR PARKED. I HAVE HAD THE DRAINS CLEANED, THE HEADLINER REMOVED AND STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON INFINITI'S AND NISSAN'S SINCE 2003. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY NISSAN, BEING IT'S AN ONGOING ISSUE IN ALL MODELS. I HAVE SPENT HUNDRED'S OF DOLLARS TRYING TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED.

DASHBOAD IS MELTING FROM ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO THE OTHER AND EXTENDS FROM THE WINDSHIELD PAST THE VENTS. THE AREA IS SO SHINNY AND GLARE IS SO GREAT THAT IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE CLEARLY DAY OR NIGHT.

MY 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE PARKING LOT WHERE I RESTARTED THE CAR. THERE WAS OF A TANK OF GAS IN THE CAR AND ALL OF THE BATTERY CABLES WERE SECURE. I HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND BOTH WERE FINE. THERE ARE 76,979 MILES ON THE CAR. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED, HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE LOVED DRIVING THIS CAR FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, BUT NOW I AM AFRAID THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND COULD CAUSE ME TO LOSE MY LIFE IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE ME OF YOUR OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION AS TO HOW I SHOULD PROCEED.

MY DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO MELT. THIS YEAR, IN EARLY MARCH I NOTICED IT WAS VERY STICKY AND REALLY SOFT TO THE TOUCH. MY HAND WOULD DENT IT WITH SLIGHT PRESSURE. A SLIGHT GLARE STARTED TO DEVELOP IN THE WINDSHIELD AND IT WORSENED DURING THE SUMMER. I DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICAL CLEANERS, JUST WIPE MY CAR WITH A DAMP CLOTH, SO I WAS AT A LOSS UNTIL I GOT ONLINE RECENTLY AND FOUND THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALTIMA MODELS. THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED WHILE PARKED OUTSIDE IN MY DRIVEWAY AND IS WORSE DURING HOT MONTHS, THOUGH IT IS NOW COLDER OUTSIDE AND THERE IS STILL MILD STICKINESS AND GLARE. I EXPECT IT TO WORSEN AGAIN IN THE SPRING/SUMMER TEXAS HEAT. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY CONTACT NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY DO NOT SOUND LIKE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE IN THE 2012 MODEL, THOUGH SEVERAL CAR WEBSITES HAVE OTHRE OWNERS NOTING ISSUES BEYOND THE CLASS ACTION SUITE IN FLORIDA OVER THE 2007-2009 ALTIMA MODELS WITH MELTING DASHBOARDS. THE EMAIL FROM NISSAN IS ATTACHED AND I WILL RESPOND WITH THE INFORMATION THEY REQUESTED.

MY CAR HAS BEEN FINE THIS WHOLE TIME AND LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING AND GOT STUCK IN A BLIND SPOT WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED WORKING.

DASH IS MELTING AND SHINY CREATING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. THIS STARTED YEARS AGO AND ONLY GETS WORSE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO DEALER. I HAVE TO DRIVE BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE NISSAN IS TAKING THE CHANCE AND NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM.

PURCHASED CAR AUGUST 8, 2020. WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY WHEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 08/24. TOOK THE CAR TO NEBORHOOD TIRE PRO'S IN DECATUR, GA. HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE. CAR RECEIVED 3 CODES. ONE CODE WAS P1718. WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN STONE MOUNTAIN. HEALTH WAGES THE SERVICE MANGER AFFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION.
