VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. APPEARED NOT TO BE A BATTERY ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. HOWEVER, CAR STARTED AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED FINE. SUBSEQUENTLY (AFTER A DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE PERSON), IT SEEMED APPARENT THE THERE WAS A WHEEL LOCK SWITCH ASSY FAILURE (WHICH IS UNDER A FORMAL RECALL). I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS SEVERELY BACKORDERED. I THEN DECIDED TO RETURN IN A FEW MONTHS (DURING THE NEXT OIL CHANGE) AND ATTEMPT TO SCHEDULE A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT PER THE FORMAL RECALL. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP (GRUBBS NISSAN IN HURST, TEXAS) TOLD ME THAT "SINCE THE SWITCH WAS NOT BROKEN NOW, THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY". I WAS GIVEN A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL CORPORATE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THAT MY WARRANTY REQUEST SHOULD HAVE BEEN HONORED (ESPECIALLY SINCE I ALREADY WAS STRANDED AND HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING ONCE BEFORE!). I WILL CALL CORPORATE ON MONDAY, BUT WANTED TO FILE THIS OFFICIAL COMPLAINT (IF YOU LOOK ON THE WEB, YOU CAN NOTE COUNTLESS PEOPLE IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH MIXED RESULTS (OBVIOUSLY, VERY POORLY COMMUNICATED FROM CORPORATE OUT TO THE DEALERSHIPS OR VERY POORLY COMPLIED WITH AT THE DEALERSHIPS (WHICHEVER IS THE ANSWER, IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE). THANKS FOR LISTENING, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON. THE VEHICLE STARTED AFTER THIRTY MINUTES. THE FAILURE WOULD ALWAYS OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR A LENGTHY PERIOD OF TIME. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NEARLY 30 TIMES. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT A SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 15TH 2014 I WAS LEAVING MY COMMUNITY AND THERE WAS A SECTION ON THE WAY WHERE WATER ACCUMULATES AFTER IT RAINS. DURING MY DRIVE OUT THE COMMUNITY I NEEDED TO GO THROUGH THE PUDDLE OF WATER TO CONTINUE MY EXIT. AS I PASSED THROUGH THE PUDDLE,THE WATER RUSHED INSIDE THE CAR, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. IT APPEARS THAT THE WATER RUSHED INTO THE CABIN THROUGH THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

MY CAR WOULDN'T START WHEN I PUSHED THE PUSH BUTTON START AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. LATER THAT DAY THE CAR STARTED. I HAD IT CHECKED AND THE DEALER SAID IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO HAVE IT TOWED.YESTERDAY THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHED THE START BUTTON. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO GET THE BRAKE PEDAL TO START THE CAR, IT STARTED. IT IS GOING TO THE DEALER TO BE CHECKED. THE STARTING MECHANISM IS POOR AND UNRELIABLE. *TR

2009 NISSAN ALTIMA INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. CAR WILL ONLY CLICK OVER AND UNABLE TO SHIFT CAR INTO NEUTRAL. AIR CONDITIONING AND RADIO WORK, BUT WHEN YOU PRESS ON BRAKE TO START CAR NOTHING HAPPENS. DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, BUT HAVE BEEN GOT CAUGHT OUT MANY TIMES WHEN CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO NOTIFY AAA. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN'S AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. *TR

MY 2010 ALTIMA HAS A PUSH START IGNITION LAST MONTH WHILE VISITING IN PA THE BRAKE LIGHT, VDC, AND SLIP LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINS ON. WE STOPPED AND THEN THE CAR FAILED TO RESTART. WE WERE ABLE TO GET BACK HOME TO NY AND I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RESULT WAS A BAD BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. WHICH COMPLETES THE CIRCUIT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE PUSH START BUTTON TO ALLOW THE CAR TO START. I RESEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND A FEW DIFFERENT FORUMS ONE BEING NISSANCLUB.COM WHERE I FOUND A NUMBER OF PPL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND GOT NOWHERE. I WAS WONDERING HOW MANY PPL WITH THE SAME ISSUE ARE NEEDED FOR AN ISSUE LIKE THIS TO BE CONSIDERED A RECALL BECAUSE WITH THAT BEING A DAMAGED PART THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO START THE CAR. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT START. ALL ELECTRICS WORK, CAR AND KEY FOB BATTERIES ARE NEW, BUT WHEN YOU PRESS THE START BUTTON THE CAR WON'T START. THIS 'GIMMICK' OF A KEY-FREE VEHICLE IS FUNDAMENTALLY DEFECTIVE AND AN INTERNET REVIEW SHOWS THOUSANDS OF NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. COMMON WISDOM SAYS THAT THE ANTI-THEFT STEERING LOCK IS ENGAGING WHEN IT SHOULD NOT AND THE REPAIR COST IS @ $1,000. NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS ON RECALL AS THEY DID SO ON OTHER VEHICLES AND MADE CHANGES TO NEWER ALTIMA MODELS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THE EFFECT IS THAT I CAN'T USE MY CAR AT ALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION IN EVERY OTHER WAY. *TR
