2011 Nissan Altima

AT 45MPH MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WHEN GAS WAS PRESSED IT DID NOT RESPOND. I CONTINUED TO TRAVEL HOME. EVERYTIME I STOPPED AT STOP SIGN OR SLOW SPEED AND TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY (ALL CAPTURED ON VIDEO) AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS WAS VERY SCARY. NO SERVICE LIGHT EVER CAME ON!!!! I CONTINUE THE APPROXIMATELY 3-4 MILE DRIVE HOME AND IT WOULD DO THE SAME EVERY TIME I SLOWED OR STOPPED. I HAD TO DRIVE UP A VERY STEEP HILL AND I DID NOT THINK MY CAR WAS GOING TO MAKE IT. THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND THE INFORMATION SHARED TO ME BY SEVERAL MECHANICS STATE THAT THE 2007-2010 ALTIMAS WARRANTY FOR THE CVT WERE EXTENDED FROM 60,000 TO 120,000. THIS SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE 2011 ALSO, BECAUSE THE CVT PROBLEMS CONTINUE. MY CAR HAS ONLY 104,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT NEED A 4,000 TRANSMISSION. I HAVE OWNED A MAXIMA AND SENTRA IN PAST AND THEY WERE REALLY GREAT CARS. ALL OF THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE REVEALS TO ME THAT JATCO WHICH NISSAN HAS 75% OWNERSHIP OF SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR THESE ISSUES. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM THIS MONOPOLY AND HELP THE LITTLE GUY. IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH RESEARCH TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE. THE CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT INDIVIDUALS HAD TO FILE DUE TO THE CVT IN PATHFINDERS BEING JUNK SHOWS THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT PROTECT THEM. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN! DO THE RIGHT THING NISSAN AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO ALL VEHICLES THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY HAVING CVT PROBLEMS DUE TO POOR PRODUCT PERFORMANCE AND IF NISSAN WILL NOT THE GOVERNMENT HAS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO MAKE THEM DO WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE ON THE OWN. EVEN THE CEO OF NISSAN HAS HAD AN ARTICLE WRITTEN ABOUT THEM HOLDING JATCO ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR INEPT PRODUCT. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS FLASHING AND SHOWING AS TURNED OFF EVEN WHEN THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. I SEARCHED FOR RECALLS DEALING WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUED AND FIND RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE ON THE 2007 TO 2008 ALTIMA (RECALL 08V521000) AND A NEW RECALL IS JUST READ ABOUT ON THE 2013 TO 2016 ALTIMA,BUT NONE ON MY YEAR. I OPENED A CASE (#23576396) AND TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEALER AS INSTRUCTED BY THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH AT THE CORPORATE NUMBER TO HAVE THE ISSUE ANALIZED. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS DEFECTIVE AND THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE SEAT AT A COST OF $550.00 PLUS LABOR. I TOLD HIM I WOULD TALK TO THE CORPORATE CONTACT AND WAS CHARGED $121.50 FOR DIAGNOSIS WHEN I PICK MY CAR UP. I SPOKE TO ALLISE AT CORP. AND EXPLAINED WHAT THE SERVICE MANAGER HAD TOLD ME AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN'S POSITION IS THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR. I TOLD HER I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH RENDERS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AS UNUSABLE IN THIS CONDITION. THIS CONDITION STARTED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA. AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE PUSH START WAS PRESSED, THE BRAKES SEIZED AND THERE WAS NO ENGINE POWER. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN THE FAILURE RECURRED; HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,998. UPDATED 10/06/16*LJ *CN

"PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES WHEN PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY ADULTS WEIGHING BETWEEN 120 AND 200 POUNDS, INDICATING THE AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED, THOUGH IT SHOULD BE TURNED ON. PROBLEM HAPPENS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED, AND HAS OCCURRED FREQUENTLY FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE, SO ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED, AND FAULTY SENSOR HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. NEWER MODELS (2013'2016) WERE SUBJECTED TO A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE. OLDER MODELS SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL, AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR PASSENGERS. COMPLAINT FOR 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S.

P0101 POWERTRAIN/MAF CIRCUIT ISSUE KEEPS COMING BACK WITH CAR. EVEN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR THIS ISSUE. DEALER REPROGRAMMED ECU/UPDATED & <MAF SENSOR . AFTER CERTAIN MILES HAVE ACCUMULATED THE ERROR KEEPS ON COMING BACK WITH MINIMAL DRIVABILITY ISSUES SUCH AS MORE FUEL CONSUMPTION DUE TO INACCURATE MAF READINGS. CAR JERKS EVER SO OFTEN WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON REGARDING TO THE P0101 CODE. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGE BUT PROBLEM STILL NOT RESOLVED.

THERE IS A FAULT IN THE SENSOR FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE SEAT AIRBAG. IT FAILS TO PROPERLY SENSE THAT AN ADULT IS OCCUPYING THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG-OFF INDICATOR LIGHT OFTEN IS LIT WHEN AN ADULT WHO WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 102-105 POUNDS, IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF OUR DEALER, CLAY NISSAN OF NEWTON, MASS. IN DECEMBER 2015. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $99.99 BUT FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEIR REPORT STATED THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS "OPERATING AS DESIGNED." OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T. NEWER ALTIMA MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE 2011 ALTIMA ALSO SHOULD BE RECALLED ASAP.
