2002 Nissan Altima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA EQUIPPED WITH GENERAL ALTIMAX RT43 (NA) TIRES, SIZE: 215/60/R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY FOR INVESTIGATIVE PURPOSES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY CONFIRMED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SIDEWALL HAD DETACHED FROM THE TIRE. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACEMENT TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

I WAS INVOLED IN AN ACCIDENT GOING AROUND 40 MPH WHEN THE COLLISION HAPPENED. MY ENTIRE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS CRUSHED TO AND BEYOND THE RADIATOR, AS WELL AS THE HOOD BENT LIKE AN A SHAPE. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL AND NISSAN HAS NOT CONTACTED ME AFTER THERE FIRST EMAIL SAYING SOMEONE WOULD BE IN CONTACT WITH ME WITHIN 2 TO 3 DAYS. I WAS DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE ON A TWO LANE ROAD WHEN A VEHICLE FROM THE LEFT LANE MOVED OVER RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND LOCKED UP THEIR BRAKES FOR NO REASON. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TIME TO HARDLY HIT MY BRAKES BEFORE WE COLLIDING. THE WAS A POLICE REPORT AND EVERYTHING , BUT KNOW THEY CANT FIND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE AND I CANT GET NISSAN TO TALK TO ME ABOUT WHY MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT WORK AT A CRASH AT THAT SPEED. THIS TOOK PLACE IN A CITY. I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY POLICE REPORT OR ANYTHING AND ITS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH. IM HAVING DOCTOR BILLS PILE UP AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA.WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END CRASH. DURING THE CRASH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ONLY THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THERE WERE NO PASSENGERS. THE CONTACT SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 97,000.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA FLASHES INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT TWO RECALLS WERE ISSUE FOR 2002 NISSAN ALTIMAS. ONE WAS RECALL #69520 ON APRIL 17, 2002, FOR WHICH NISSAN DID SEND ME A RECALL NOTICE. THE OTHER WAS RECALL #44046 ON FEBRUARY 27, 2003, FOR WHICH I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY NISSAN. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2009, THEY STUDIED MY CASE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 AND ADVISED ME THAT RECALL #44046 DID NOT APPLY TO MY VIN AND THAT I WAS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS, IN EXCESS OF $2,000. GIVEN THAT MY DAUGHTER WILL SOON BE DRIVING THE CAR, I FEEL I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR, AT MY OWN COST. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS SUSPICIOUS TO ME THAT THE RECALL #44046 DESCRIBES MY AIRBAG PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT COVER MY SPECIFIC VIN. *TR

TOO MANY ISSUES TO REMEMBER THAN ALL BUT I'LL TRY: - EXCESSIVE OIL USE - EXCESSIVE COOLANT USE - OVERHEATING TO THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES - INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION ISSUES - FAILING AIRBAG - ELECTRICAL ISSUES - BROKEN SENSORS - CATALYTIC CONVERTERS GONE BAD - OXYGEN SENSORS GONE BAD - INTERMITTENT FAILURE TO START - INTERMITTENT CAR SHAKING AND SO ON. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING THE ROAD AT A GOOD DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, THE OTHER VEH STOPPED SUDDENLY. I PUT FOOT ON THE BRAKES BUT I SKID TO HIS REAR BUMPER WITH MY FRONT END. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE PASSENAGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE SEATBELT TIGHTEN, BUT MIND DID NOT. WHICH CAUSED ME TO STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL AND MULTIPLE INJURIES THAT I'M STILL SUFFERING. WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS TAKE TO MECHANIC , HE STATED MY AIR BAG SENSORS WERE NOT ACTIVATED AND HE STATED THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ME NOT TO HAVE THE ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2007, BEFORE PURCHASING I HAD FIRESTONE INSPECT THE VEH FOR ANY DEFECTS OR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY SENSORS OR THAT I LACKED ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS TO HAVE DONE A SAFETY CHECK ON MY VEHICLE AND I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FOR AIR BAGS. HAD I KNOWN I WOULD MADE IT WAS FIXED BEFORE PURCHASING AND I WOULD HAVE NOT SUFFERED INJURIES. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED FROM THAT CRASH ANTHER OTHER VEHICLE A 2006 NISSAN MAXIM HAD A COUPLE DENTS AND SCRATCHES. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED ON 03/17/08 AND I'M STILL GOING TO THE DOCTOR FOR PAIN. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT I GOING TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING IS DONE VERY SOON. *TR
