Nissan Altima electrical problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START IMMEDIATELY. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES START AND IS TURNED OFF IT WOULD NOT RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN MINUTES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE HARNESS ASSEMBLY, BRAKE SWITCH AND A HOSE BAND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,114. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,600. UPDATED 08/31/11 *BF UPDATED 2/21/12 *CN

2009 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S WAS BACKED INTO IN A PARKING LOT, LOW SPEED COLLISION, MINOR DAMAGE TO REAR BUMPER. A FEW DAYS AFTER THIS INCIDENT, WHEN TRYING TO START CAR WITH KEYLESS IGNITION SYSTEM, IT TOOK NEARLY 30 MINUTES TO START. IT IS REQUIRED THAT THE BRAKES BE DEPRESSED TO START CAR, BUT WHEN PUSHING ON BRAKES, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT TURN ON, AND WHEN IGNITION BUTTON IS PUSHED IT ONLY TURNS ON THE ACCESSORIES, WHICH IS THE NORMAL ACTION EXPECTED IF BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT BEING PRESSED. IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE COLLISION OR JUST HIGHLY COINCIDENTAL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SWITCH. THIS IS NOW AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT HAS MADE THE CAR UNRELIABLE WITH THE POSSIBILITY TO LEAVE A DRIVER STRANDED. *TT

2005 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE TO INCLUDE BRAKES, TRUNK LEAK, RELAY SWITCH *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, IT HAD BEEN TRADED TWO DAYS PRIOR, AND THE SAFETY INSPECTION HAD NOT BEEN PERFORMED. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER, HE COULD KEEP IT OVER THE WEEKEND AND BRING IT BACK THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY FOR THE SAFETY INSPECTION SO THEY COULD REPAIR ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED HOME WITH THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED A COVER FOR THE SEAT BELT CONNECTOR WAS NOT ATTACHED AND THERE WAS STANDING WATER IN THE SPARE TIRE WHEEL WELL. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE TRUNK PROBLEM WAS FIXED. HOWEVER, WATER WAS FOUND IN THE SPARE WHEEL WELL AGAIN. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DUE TO A FAULTY GAS RELAY SWITCH. THE CONSUMER STATED TWO WEEKS LATER, THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE WARRANTY COMPANY STATED THE BEARINGS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY COMPANY STATED THEIR DENIAL OF COVERAGE WAS BASED ON THE FACT, THE VEHICLE WAS FRONT-WHEEL DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY SUDDENLY DIED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

CAR STARTED MISSING AND STUTTERING THEN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR A COUPLE DAYS, NEARLY CAUSING 3 ACCIDENTS IN THIS SPAN. ON THE THIRD DAY IT STARTED LOSING POWER AND SHUT OFF CONSTANTLY WHEN AT RED LIGHTS. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SCANNED THE ENGINE CODES. WE REPLACES THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND THE CAR RAN SMOOTHLY AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE ECM REPROGRAM RECALL DONE TO THE CAR AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE KEYLESS IGNITION PUSH BUTTON START AND REMOTE KEYLESS FOB FAILED TO OPERATE APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. IN ADDITION, BOTH KEY AND BATTERY WARNING SYMBOLS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT REPLACED TWO KEY FOB BATTERIES AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT A FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHICH RESULTED IN NO RESOLUTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES; I PARK MY CAR (TURN ENGINE OFF) DO GROCERIES, SHOPPING, ETC, COME BACK, I TURN THE CAR ON AND THE CAR IS LIKE STALLING, LIKE ITS IDLE BUT YOU CAN FEEL THE SHAKING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE ON THIS SITUATION. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, TURN IT BACK ON AND STILL THE SAME SITUATION. I HAVE TO WAIT 3-5 MINUTES WITH ENGINE OFF, THEN I TURN IT ON AND THE CAR STARTS WORKING NORMAL. THERE IS NO "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS HAPPENING TIME TO TIME. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT COULD BE SOMETING WITH THE GASOLINE IN THE TANK, THAT IS NOT THE CASE BECAUSE I LEFT MY TANK ALMOST TO EMPTY AND LOAD A NEW TANK, DIFFERENT GAS STATION AND STILL DOES THE SAME. I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, ASKED FOR ANY RECALLS ON MY CAR'S MODEL/YEAR. THEY SAY NO RECALLS FOR THIS YEAR/MODEL. I STARTED SEARCHING FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND I READ A FEW ARTICLES THAT THE '02 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, ALSO THAT THE SAME '03 MODEL IN CANADA HAS BEEN RECALLED AND SERVICED FOR SAME ISSUE. ALTHOUGH I CANNOT PROVE THAT WHAT I READ IS TRUE, I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CHECKED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP MAINTENANCE CENTERS SINCE THERE IS NO ALERT SIGNS ON THE DASHBOARDS.

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA POWER WINDOWS THAT WHEN YOU USE THE REQUIRED BUTTONS TO RAISE THE WINDOW OR WINDOWS THEY RAISE THEMSELVES WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF KEEPING YOUR FINGER ON THE UPSIDE OF THE BUTTON. SO THEY RAISE UP AUTOMATICALLY AND IF YOU HAVE KIDS OR DOGS OR SOMEONEWITH THEIR HEAD,HANDS OR FINGERS THE WINDOW DOES NOT STOP UNTIL IT REACHES THE CLOSED POSITION. MY DOG WAS CAUGHT IN ONE BUT I WAS FAST ENOUGH TO STOP AND LOWER THE WINDOW. WHAT IF A CHILD HAS ANY PART OF THEIR BODY AND ONE DOES NOT SEE THEM. THESE WINDOWS SHOULD NOT HAVE THE AUTOMATIC UP FEATURE. *TR

I SET THE CLIMATE CONTROL TIMER FOR MY NISSAN LEAF TO TURN ON VIA THE COMPUTER THROUGH NISSAN'S CARWINGS APPLICATION. THIS IS TO PRE-COOL THE CAR BEFORE DRIVING. WHEN I WENT TO THE CAR, THE CAR WAS NOT COOL BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE CAR WAS DISABLED AND UNABLE TO BE STARTED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION OF WHEN AND WHERE THIS CAN OCCUR, IT CAN RESULT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. MORE INFO CAN ALSO BE FOUND HERE: HTTP://WWW.MYNISSANLEAF.COM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?F=30&T=3139. *TR
