Nissan Altima electrical problems

WE WOULD ALWAYS COMMENT ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WERE IN A HURRY SINCE THEY ALWAYS SPED PAST US WHEN WE WERE DOING THE SPEED LIMIT ACCORDING TO THE SPEEDOMETER. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HOOKED UP A GPS TO THE CAR AND IT TELLS US WE'RE GOING 4 MILES SLOWER THAN WHAT THE SPEEDOMETER SAYS. HONESTLY, A SPEEDOMETER SHOULD READ CORRECTLY ON A CAR THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING DONE TO IT THAT WOULD THROW OFF THE SPEEDOMETER READING. (SUCH AS DIFFERENT SIZED TIRES BEING PUT ON IT)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN 422 OF LIMERICK (55 AUTOPARK BLVD, LIMERICK, PA 19468, (610) 495-1856), BUT IT HAD NOT YET BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,458.

AFTER TAKING IN MY ALTIMA 2014 SV FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SENSORS, THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY. THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS THAT ABOUT HALF THE TIMES A PASSENGER SITS NEXT TO THE DRIVER SEAT, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES NOT DETECT THEM. I AM HAVING TO RESTART THE CAR FOR SECURITY PURPOSES IN CASE SOMETHING ENDS UP HAPPENING. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY AC SYSTEM. I REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR A YEAR AGO AND IT SEEMS TO BE FAILING AGAIN. AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER I CAN SAFELY SAY THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THEIR SOFTWARE. I HOPE THEY CAN FIX THIS SOON. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).?*JB

JUST FILED COMPLAINT # 11000784. FOUND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INTERNET DATED MARCH 7, 2017 - "NISSAN ALTIMA AND MAXIMA STEERING LOCK PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED FOR FREE AFTER THE AUTOMAKER ANNOUNCED A 'SERVICE CAMPAIGN' FOR 243,000 MODEL YEAR 2009-2010 NISSAN ALTIMA, ALTIMA COUPE, ALTIMA HYBRID AND MAXIMA CARS. ALTHOUGH NOT A RECALL, THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN WILL FIX STEERING LOCKS (ECLS) THAT LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE ALTIMA AND MAXIMA CARS ARE PARKED AND TURNED OFF. HOWEVER, THOSE STEERING LOCKS HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND CAN LEAVE OWNERS AND THEIR CARS SITTING IN PARKING LOTS OR DRIVEWAYS." "NISSAN HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE STEERING LOCK WITH AN ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN BOX AT NO CHARGE FOR PARTS AND LABOR, A JOB THAT SHOULD TAKE AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR TO COMPLETE." "THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN BOX WILL REPLACE THE ESCL ASSEMBLY BUT WILL NO LONGER LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. THE AUTOMAKER SAYS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING FUNCTION IS NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THE ALTIMA AND MAXIMA ARE EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-THEFT IMMOBILIZERS TO HELP PREVENT THEFT." "IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR REPAIRS TO THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK, NISSAN WILL REIMBURSE WHAT YOU SPENT AS LONG AS YOU CAN SHOW PROOF OF REPAIRS. IF THOSE REPAIRS WERE ABOVE $1,000., YOU'LL NEED TO SHOW PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR." PLEASE ADD THIS TO COMPLAINT #11000784 FILED A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE THIS ONE.
