Nissan Altima electrical problems

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA WOULD NOT START. VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY INTELLIGENT KEY STARTING SYSTEM ,AND THE INTELLIGENT KEY WARNING LIGHT WOULD BLINK ON THE DASH.HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALER. A FAULTY STEERING LOCK CONTROL UNIT (PART #48700-9N00B) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2008-2009 NISSAN ALTIMA'S AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES PRODUCED IN THOSE YEARS. A RECALL SHOULD BE STARTED! *TR

06/30/09 (24,999 MILES): THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR TWO-THREE DAYS BEFORE THE PEDAL AUTOMATICALLY DEPRESSED. THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED FRONT CALIPER ASSEMBLY PER NTB08-057A AND REPLACED REAR PADS AND HARDWARE PER NTB08-047A. 01/21/2011: THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR ONE DAY BEFORE THE PEDAL AUTOMATICALLY DEPRESSED. THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. 02/17/2012 (69,504 MILES): THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAK AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY FOUND THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW, CAUSING THE BRAKE LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED. *TR

MY CAR'S "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT INITIALLY CAME ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 29TH. SHORTLY AFTER, MY CAR WAS BEGINNING TO JERK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FELT AS IF THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING WHILE ON LOCAL ROADS. WE TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND TWO ISSUES WERE DISCOVERED: THE SPEED SIGNAL CIRCUIT AS WELL AS THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND 2005 NISSAN ALTIMAS WERE RECALLED DUE TO THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING WITH A POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE AND INJURY. WE CONTACTED NISSAN VILLAGE AND WERE INFORMED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES. I HAVE OWNED QUITE A FEW CARS AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PART NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE $300-$400 TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE AND I BELIEVE, EVEN THOUGH THIS RECALL WAS INITIATED BACK IN DECEMBER 2007, THESE REPAIRS SHOULD BE COVERED AS THIS IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE BUT RATHER A SERIOUS OVERALL DEFECT IN THIS PARTICULAR MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AS WE HAVE CHILDREN BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS COMPLAINT WAS LODGED FOR REPORTING PURPOSES. WE WILL ALSO BE CONTACTING NISSAN TO INFORM THEM OF THIS ISSUE AND OUR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE FACT THAT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE US FOR A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A PAST RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WOULD FAIL SPORADICALLY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO LOSE POWER INTERMITTENTLY, WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,205 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,312.

BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW 14 MONTHS AGO AND THE BATTERY ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT MY EXPENSE. DEALER SERVICE INFORMED ME MAY HAVE TROUBLE IF NOT REPLACED. I WROTE NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THE FOLLOWING: "NISSAN IS NOT IN THE POSITION TO PROVIDE VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT COVERAGE OR WARRANTY COVERAGE. NISSAN DEPENDS ON ITS NISSAN DEALERS TO PROVIDE ANY AND ALL WARRANTY COVERAGE CONCERNS AS THEY ARE IN THE BEST POSITION TO ASSESS THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINE WHETHER A PART IS WARRANTY OR NOT. WE RECOMMEND YOU CONTINUE TO COORDINATE WITH YOUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER??S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH ANY WARRANTY INQUIRIES. " SINCE NISSAN ITSELF WILL NOT PROPERLY LOOK INTO THE SITUATION I WILL NO LONGER PURCHASE A NISSAN AND THEY HAVE LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER SINCE 1972. *TR
