2010 Nissan Altima

I HAVE NUMEROUS STARTING PROBLEMS AND THE VDC,ABS, AND SLIP LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE 4 OR 5 TRIES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STARTS WITH THE PUSH BUTTON START. THE BATTERY,ALTERNATOR AND STARTER HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE NUMEROUS LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHILE DRIVING PRESENT A PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IF THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SWITCH OUT OF PARK WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE MOVED AFTER BEING RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO ENGAGE UNTIL THE VEHICLE REACHED 15 MPH. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE KEY FOB ACTIVATED BY ITSELF ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND CAUSED THE DOORS TO UNLOCK AND THE POWER WINDOWS TO ROLL DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,000.

TAKATA RECAL. WE PURCHASED VEHICLE USED. OUR 2ND ALTIMA. HAD PROBLEMS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE CAR. IT WOULDN'T START. BRAKES WOULDN'T EVEN COMPRESS. REPLACED BATTERY AND WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS. SAME ISSUE CONTINUED. CABIN LIGHTS WOULD COME ON, NEW BATTERY BUT STILL NOT STARTING. HAD STARTER REPLACED AND WORKED FOR A WHILE AGAIN. SAME ISSUE AGAIN. GET STUCK IN RANDOM PLACES. SOME DAYS IT STARTS, OTHERS IT DOESN'T. CALLING FOR A JUM START DOESN'T WORK EITHER. UNRELIABLE AND UNSTABLE. CALLED DEALERSHIP, MOSSY NISSAN. THEY WANTS OVER $200 JUST FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEN COULD BE A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS. ALSO SAID BREAK HARNESS/SWITCH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. VDC LIGHTS ALSO COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THERE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE MODELS. NISSAN SHOULD HANDLE ALL REPAIR EXPENSES. CAR WAS STATIONARY AT ALL TIMES IT WOULDN'T START. THIS WEEK IS WOULDN'T START 3 TIMES. LAST WEEK IT WAS 5 TIMES. THE WHOLE MONTH WAS 17 TIMES OUT OF 31 DAYS. PLEASE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SCRAPE THE TOP OF ANY SPEED BUMP. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STRUT INSULATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V358000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THE PASSANGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS STAYING ON SHOWING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. TOOK TO NISSIAN AND THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS THE SENSOR AND THAT THE WHOLE SEAT HAS TO BE REPLACED. IM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS BUT NISSIAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I SEE THEY RECALLED 2013-2016, BUT I THINK THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS YEAR MODELS TOO. ITS THE SAME ISSUE THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE ONES THAT ARE RECALLED. IM SO FRUSTRATED. AIR BAGS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATLY AT NO COST! WE BUY A CAR TO FEEL SAFE WHEN WE ARE DRIVING NOT TO WORRY ABOUT OUR SAFETY

THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD A FEW MONTHS AGO. THEN ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A LIGHT. TURNED LEFT AND WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I WAS NERVIOUS AND PUSHED THEN PUMPED THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THEN OUT OF THE BLUE IT TOOK OFF WITH OUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATTER I WAS DRIVING 75 (SPEED LIMIT) WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON THEN THE CAR STARTED LOOSING POWER, 65,60 55. I ACCELERATED THE CAR AND IT JUST WOULD NOT GO FASTER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT WITH THE CRUISE AT 55. WITH FLASHERS ON COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. STARTED MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BY DOUBLING IT FROM 5 YEARS/60,000 TO 10 YEARS/120,000 MILES. MY ISSUE IS MY CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD WITH 128,000 MILES AND NISSAN HAS MY CAR IN THEIR SHOP AND WILL NOT FIX IT. I BELIEVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILLED. I HAVE VERY SERVICE RECORD SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 12 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED.
