2010 Nissan Altima

MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER CAR DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT STOPPED ACCELERATING ACTING AS IF THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. SHE COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO ABOVE 25 MILES AN HOUR. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND WAIT FOR HER DAD TO COME AND HELP HER. WHEN HER DAD GOT THERE THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED. HE SWITCHED THE CAR TO MANUAL AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. THE ABS, VDC OFF, SLIP LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY AT WHICH TIME WE TOOK IT INTO OUR MECHANIC. HE DISCOVERED A POWER BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACING. HE BELIEVED THIS WAS A SAFETY RECALL AS IT HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE 2007, 2008 AND 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. MUCH TO OUR DISMAY NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE 2010 MODELS. MY MECHANIC TOLD US THIS WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER A BUMP, A RATTLING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILING MOTOR MOUNT AND ONE STRUT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING LOCKED UP WHEN USING THE PUSH TO START FEATURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS PART OF A MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION, WHICH HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,800.

MELTED DASHBOARD CAUSES TERRIBLE GLARE EARLIER THIS YEAR I CONTACTED NISSAN'S REGIONAL OFFICE TO EXPLAIN THAT MY CAR'S DASHBOARD HAS MELTED. THE MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD IS SO TERRIBLE IT CREATES A GLARE WHEN THE SUNLIGHT HITS IT. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGES. IN ADDITION, I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE MELTING OF THE DASHBOARD IS CREATING TOXIC AIR, WHICH I AM BREATHING IN EACH TIME I USE MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN SICK ALL YEAR AND CAN ONLY ATTRIBUTE THIS TO MY FAILED DASHBOARD. NISSAN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE DASHBOARD, BUT THEY WILL NOT INCUR THE CHARGES BECAUSE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN QUOTED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE $2,381.43, BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO PAY THIS CONSIDERING I AM A TEACHER AND HAVE TO TUTOR TO MAKE ENDS MEET. I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH AND SEEN THAT MANY COSTUMERS FACE THE SAME PROBLEM I DO DATING BACK TO THE 2008 MODELS. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING. I HAVE CLEANED AND TAKEN CARE OF MY CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE CHANGES OR MORE IMPORTANTLY'PUT MY LIFE OR OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER BECAUSE I HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD. PLEASE HELP THE COUNTLESS OTHERS AND MYSELF IN THIS SITUATION!!!
