WAS DRIVING ALONG 15 FREEWAY SOUTHBOUND IN LAS VEGAS GETTING READY TO EXIT FLAMINGO AT AROUND 7:30 PM. ROAD WAS CLEAR. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUND LIKE IT' CAME FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR UNDERNEATH. AS I EXIT FLAMINGO MY WIFE AND I START TO SMELL GAS BUT WE THINK IT MAY BE BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY CAR'S OUT ON THE ROAD. WHEN CONTINUE DRIVING TO OUR HOTEL (BALLY'S) AND PULL IN TO VALET. I ASK THE VALET DRIVER IF HE SMELLS GAS AND HE SAYS YES IT PRETTY STRONG TOO, MY WIFE HEARS DRIPPING AND LOOKS OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SEE GAS POURING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THE TELL ME TO PULL THE CAR TO THE BACK TO PARK SO THAT IT CAN BE TOWED AWAY AND THE GAS CAN BE CLEANED UP BY HASMAT. I PARK THE CAR AND WATCH FOR A WHILE AS GAS IS JUST POURING FROM THE TANK. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE ROAD, I DIDN'T RUN OVER ANYTHING I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TANK.. HAD IT TOWED TO AUTONATION NISSAN IN LAS VEGAS AND THEY SAID THE TANK WAS PUNCTURED SOME HOW. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS SAME EXACT THING HAS HAPPENED BEFORE HTTP://NISSANPROBLEM.COM/2012-NISSAN-ALTIMA-FUEL-SYSTEM-GASOLINE-PROBLEMS-DEFECTS/ HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/2006/02/28/NHTSA-PROBES-CHRYSLER-PACIFICA-GAS-TANKS-MORE-NISSAN-ALTIMA-ENG/ HTTP://WWW.PATHFINDERTALK.COM/FORUM/87-PATHFINDER-WARRANTY-SERVICE-ISSUES/725-FUEL-TANK.HTML HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/CARS/PROBLEMS/DEFECT/RESULTS.CFM?ACTION_NUMBER=PE05050&S HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/2012/FUEL_SYSTEM/FUEL_SYSTEM_GASOLINE.SHTML CONTACTED NISSAN STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. *TR

HELLO THERE I HAVE A NISSAN ALTIMA AND TOOK IT TO GET A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION/OCS SENSOR. THEY SAID WE BROKE THE SENSOR WITH A WATER BOTTLE. I SAID OKAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THE SENSOR IS INSIDE THE CUSHION SEAT SO HOW COULD A WATER BOTTLE REACH THAT SENSOR. IT DOESN'T ITS SELF EXPLANATORY THEIR CAR CAME DEFECTIVE. I'M PARALYZED FROM THE WAIST DOWN. IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO BE HELP RESPONSIBLE IS NISSAN BECAUSE THEY SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE CAR. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO FILE ACTION AGAINST YOUR GUYS BEHALF. IF YOU LOOK AT HOWSTUFFWORKS.COM IT WILL SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I DO NOT HAVE $550 EXTRA FOR THEIR MISTAKE. THANK YOU AND HOPE YOU GUYS TAKE CAR OF IT. ALSO I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW 7000 MILES ON IT OCTOBER 9TH, 2012. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND ENGINE JUST CUT OFF COMPLETELY WITH NO SYSTEM WARNINGS OR ANYTHING. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FLUKE AND SOMETHING I HAD DONE. CAR STARTED BACK IMMEDIATELY. AS A RESULT, I THOUGHT NOTHING ELSE OF IT UNTIL THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT LATER THE SAME DAY (AGAIN THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON CONTROL PANEL. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS. CAR WAS TAKEN TO REPAIR SHOP WERE NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION. UNSURE IF THE TWO ARE RELATED. NEEDS FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS THIS IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *TR

POWER LOCKS/WINDOWS WERE SLOW. CONTACTED NISSAN AND SPOKE TO [XXX] THAT TOLD ME WE NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MILEAGE HAD TO DO WITH THE WINDOWS AND LOCKS. NISSAN TOOK CARE OF THE ISSUE. IN JANUARY 2013 THEY ALL WENT OUT AND CONTACTED [XXX] AGAIN. THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE WORK UNTIL WE PAID OUT OF POCKET AND THEY REIMBURSED US MINUS THE LABOR. WELL IT IS ALMOST A YEAR LATER AND THE WINDOWS ARE ACTING UP AGAIN. I CAN'T AFFORD THE 900.00 TO FIX ALL THE ISSUES AGAIN. TURNED OUT TO BE A LEMON INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).? *TR
