2004 Nissan Altima

AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE MANUAL SELECTOR SWITCH IS MOVED FROM THE DEFROST POSITION. THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE THE COMPRESSOR AFTER USING THE DEFROSTER IS TO STOP THE CAR, TURNED OFF THE FAN , MOVE THE SELECTOR SWITCH TO ANY FUNCTION THAT IS NOT DEFROSTER RELATED, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY MY WIFE AND I ON OUR WAY BACK FROM FLORIDA LAST MARCH. I COULD NOT GET FRESH AIR ONLY. UPON MY RETURN TO MAINE THE DEALER CHECKED OUT MY COMPLAINT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE OWNERS MANUAL COVERED THIS SOMEWHAT. A PREVIOUS SAME COMPLAINT STATED THAT THIS IS COVERED BY A SERVICE BULLETIN NTB03-048 DATED 5-6-03 FROM NISSAN CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS NOTED AS A CHANGE IN OPERATION FROM EARLIER MODELS. THIS A/C ON OFF IS DIFFERENT THAN PREVIOULY YEARS OF NISSAN"S OF WHICH I HAVE OWNED MANY. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK

LOST OF POWER WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP.. "ENGINE SERVICE SOON LIGHT" CAME ON!! P2135 TP SENSOR CODE FOUND. REPLACED PART BY NISSAN STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.. NOT IT SURGES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE.. P0507 ISC CODE FOUND.. NISSAN REFUSED TO CHANGE THE COMPUTER AT THIS TIME.*AK NEW CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE KIND OF PROBLEM.. NISSAN HAD FAILED TO MAKE RECALL FOR THIS PART.. ALL 2004 NISSAN ATLMIA HAS THIS PROBLEM.. FORCE NISSAN TO FIX ALL CARS OR TAKE BACK ALL 2004 MODELS.

WE BOUGHT THIS 2004 NISSAN BACK IN NOVEMBER AND SINCE THEN, IT'S BEEN IN THE NISSAN SHOP FOR MANY TIMES AND THE WORST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT WE LOSE OUR TIME AND THEY DON'T EVEN PROVIDE YOU WITH A RENTAL CAR. MY PROBLEM IS THE INTERIAL TRIM ABOVE THE RADIO. IT CAME UP AND WHEN I AM DRIVING, I CAN SEE IN, BETWEEN THE TWO PLASTIC PARTS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP FOR THE FOURTH TIME NOW AND THEIR ANSWER WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN 1. I CALLED NISSAN 1 AND THEIR ONLY RESPONSE TO MY CONCERN WAS THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.EVEN THE DEALER SHIP ADVISORS TOLD ME, THAT WAS AN ON GOING PROBLEM IN THEIR SHOP AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WHY IS IT EASY TO BUY AN EXPENSIVE CAR BUT THEN WHEN WE NEED TO FIX SOMETHING, EVERYTHING TURNS AROUND AND NO ONE WANTS TO HELP? SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP FOR US. *LA

CAR VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OF 65 AND GREATER. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BALANCED AND CHECKED FOR RUN OUT. PROBLEM STILL EXSISTS. NISSAN1 HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. AFTER 1 WEEK OF NO RETURNED CALLS, I WAS FORCED TO GO THROUGH THE SYSTEM AS A NEW CALL BEFORE I COULD GET A LIVE PERSON ON THE PHONE, AT WHICH TIME I WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND BASICALLY START TROUBLE SHOOTING THE PROBLEM AGAIN.*AK

I PURCHASED MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA IN DECEMBER OF 2001 WITH 4 MILES ON IT IN MID OCTOBER. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT OVER AND OVER TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE IT CUTS OFF ON ME OUT OF THE BLUE. IT CUT OFF FIRST GOING DOWN A HILL, THE WHEEL JUST LOCKED AND IT SHUT DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY I CONTACTED PASSPORT NISSAN AND SHEEY NISSAN IN MARYLAND AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN ON THE NEXT DAY. NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT THIS TIME. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT CUT OFF AGAIN I HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED NISSAN1 USA THE FOLLOWING DAY TO REPORT THIS THEY SAID TO TAKE IT BACK TO A NISSAN DEALER. NISSAN 1 USA DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY KIND OF SUPPORT, GUIDANCE OR SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES AND MADE MENTION TO A CASE NUMBER THAT THEY GAVE ME BUT FOR SOME STRANGE REASON THEY COULD NEVER FIND MY CASE NUMBER AND I HAVE TO RESTART THIS WHOLE BORING PROCEDURE OVER AGAIN. I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER MAINTAINS THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR AT 20,000 MILES AND STILL REMAINS ON UNTIL THIS DAY WHICH CURRENTLY HAS ACCUMULATED 100,000 MILES (UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO MY LINE OF BUSINESS I NEED DAILY TRANSPORTATION TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH THROUGH CITIES AND THROUGH STATES) MY CAR RIGHT NOW (CORRECTION NISSAN PIECE OF CAR) RIGHT NOW WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. IT CONTINUES TO CUT OFF AND WHENEVER I TAKE THIS TO THE DEALER THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OR DONT EVEN PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY SAY MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERS AND NISSAN1 USA THAT I AM NOT PAYING FOR ANYTHING ELSE. AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT, I MISSED WORK AND BUSINESS WITH IMPORTANT CLIENTS. SAMUEL A MERRIN 301-535-7005. *AK
