2009 Nissan Altima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,000.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASHBOARD, AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE OCS SYSTEM FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD FAILED, AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $2500 TO REPLACE THE CUSHION SEAT. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO AN AIRBAG RECALL INVOLVING 2013-2016 ALTIMA, AS WELL AS OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DISABLE DUE TO A SENSOR MALFUNTION THAT IS VERY DANGWRKUS IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT

DASH BOARD RECALL - I BOUGHT MY ALTIMA USE BACK IN 2016. I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN TO GET IT SERVICED AND ASKED ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE DASH BOARD WHICH THE AGENT FURTHER TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS A CLAIM LAST YEAR FOR THE DASH BOARD ISSUE, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT THE ISSUE UNTIL I BROUGHT IT IN 04/13/2018. THE DASH BOARD AND GEAR SHIFT ARE BOTH STICKY AND CAUSING HARM WHEN DRIVING. NISSAN NOR THE THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT NEVER REACHED OUT BY SENDING S MAIL THAT THEIR PARTS WAS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON, A LOUD HUMMING NOISE AND A TICKING NOISE WAS HEARD AS WELL AS A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER LE BLANC NISSAN OF GONZALES LOUISIANA IN THE MONTH OF JUNE 2017, THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A BAD IGNITION COIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED THEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOW TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING A CATALYTIC CONVERTER FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

NISSAN WAS A CAR I REALLY TRUST, BUT FROM NOW MY OPINION CHANGED. I BOUGHT MY NEW NISSAN IN 2009 FROM A NISSAN DEALER. AFTER FOUR YEARS OF USE (2013) THE NISSAN RELEASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A EN ELECTRONIC PIECE THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL (THE FAMOUS ESCL). MY CAR STOP WORKING DUE TO THIS ISSUE, IT COULDN'T TURN ON BECAUSE WAS LOCKED BY THE FAULTY ELECTRONIC PIECE. I USE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, OK EVERYBODY HAPPY, FOUR YEARS LATER 2017, SAME PROBLEM, SAME PIECE, SAME ISSUE (FAULTY ESCL) COST: $1,100.00 CALLED NISSAN, I SUBMITTED ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION (INSURANCE CARD, BILL TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE, ) I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS THEY DON'T TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE PIECE HAS ALREADY BEEN CHANGED BY ANOTHER DEFECTIVE (THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL) ESCL PIECE THAT LAST 4 YEARS. I REALLY THINK VERY DISSAPOINTED HOW NISSAN TREAT ITS CUSTOMERS. THIS IS MY THIRD CAR I BUY THROUGH NISSAN, I AM REALLY RECONSIDERING MY NEXT CAR TO GET A DIFFERENT CAR BRAND. NISSAN FAULTY PIECES SHOULD NOT BE RE-USED TO FIX ISSUES MOMENTARILY.
