2009 Nissan Altima

TRAVELING ON A CA FREEWAY THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY LOSES POWER DUE TO TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE UNTIL IT COOLED DOWN. THE CAR HAD 85,000 MILES AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SO A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. 2 YEARS AND 60,000 MILES LATER WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILS PUTTING THE DRIVER IN DANGER OF TRYING TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

TAKATA RECALL MY STEERING LOCK JUST WENT OUT ON MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST YEAR HOWEVER I DID NOT KNOW IT HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP UNTIL 2015 FOR THE STEERING LOCK IF THIS CAR IS STILL BEING SOLD THROUGH DEALERSHIPS IT SHOULD BE TOLD TO THE BUYER OF ANY RECALL ISSUES THAT HAVE WENT ON PRIOR HOWEVER I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND I HAVE A $1,200 PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONE YEAR AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP IFILE TO HAVE TO PAY ALL THESE EXPENSES OUT OF MY POCKET WHICH IS NOWHERE RIGHT

THE KEY FOB FOR THE 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA WORKS TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR DOORS, BUT IT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH THE KEY SYMBOL INDICATING AN ERROR. I WENT TO GO START MY VEHICLE MAYBE AN HOUR AFTER I HAD JUST USED IT TO GET HOME AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. WHEN THE PUSH TO START BUTTON IS PUSHED, NOTHING HAPPENS. IT IS ESSENTIALLY LIKE THE CAR DOES NOT SENSE THE KEY. THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE STEERING LOCK ON THE VEHICLES AND IS A COSTLY REPAIR THAT APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON.

I LOVE MY ALTIMA. BUT RECENTLY IT'S AN EXPENSIVE PAIN IN THE NECK. RECENTLY MY AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID MY AIRBAG SENSORS ARE NOT WORKING. SINCE THE SENSORS IS IN THE SEAT, I HAVE TO PAY $3,100 TO REPLACE THE BOTTOM CUAHION IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. MY HAS WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WAS NO MOISTURE IN MY CAR TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND AIRBAG SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ALTIMAS HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX AND THERE'S TOO MANY NISSAN OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR 2009 NISAAN ALTIMAS PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR FAILURE. NISSAN NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

I CAN'T GET MY CAR TO START BECAUSE IT WON'T RECOGNIZE MY KEY. NISSAN HAS A CAMPAIGN AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO HELP SOME OF THE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS WHOSE VEHICLE WON'T START DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCKS. HOWEVER, THESE RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE HAS THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. I APPEALED AND THEY DENIED AGAIN. NOW I GET TO PAY $1,000 TO PAY FOR A PART THAT NISSAN HAS PUBLICLY ADMITTED WAS DUE TO SHODDY MANUFACTURING IN THOUSANDS OF 09 ALTIMAS, BUT SOMEHOW NOT IN MINE. NISSAN, I KNOW YOU'RE NOT HONDA OR TOYOTA, BUT, C'MON: MAKE AN EFFORT. (HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2017/NISSAN-ALTIMA-MAXIMA-STEERING-LOCK-PROBLEMS.SHTML)

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE, MANUFACTURER EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, 120K MILES BECAUSE THEY USED A BAD PRODUCT. MY VEHICLE HAS 140,000 MILES SO NISSAN DECLINED TO COVER REPAIR COST. MY VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGN OF ISSUES UNTIL IT SUDDENLY WOULDN'T ENGAGE AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT A MANUFACTURE THIS SIZE PUSHES A KNOWN ISSUE UNDER THE RUG INSTEAD OF RECALLING THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES.
