TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE MANIFOLD, OXYGEN SENSOR, AND A COMPUTER CHIP; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURERS WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,361.

ELECTRICAL ISSUE, MY CAR WOULDN'T START SAYING INCORRECT KEY, WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD THE BATTERY POST HAD COMPLETELY BURNED OFF, WIRES WAS BURNT, AND BATTERY EXPLODED. THE FUSIBLE LINK FOR THE TERMINAL BREAKER FOR THE BATTERY WAS ALSO BURNT, EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I WENT TO START MY CAR IT WOULD SAY KEY NOT DETECTABLE OR WRONG KEY ID. I THOUGHT THE BATTERY IN THE KEY PROBE WAS GOING OUT REPLACED IT AND THE PROBLEM STILL WAS PRESENT. I HAVE 2 CO-WORKERS AND THERE VEHICLE ARE DOING THE SAME THING ONE HAS A 2014 AND THE OTHER IS A 2016 BRAND NEW HAD LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON AND MY VEHICLE ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE.

I HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2002 MODEL. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE DEALER LOCALLY BUT NO RESULTS. I ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY GAVE ME RUN AROUND SAYING THAT THEY NEEDED THE SOFTWARE WHICH THEY WILL MAKE IT AVAILABLE AND SOON AS IT'S AVAILABLE THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT I GET THE SAME RUN AROUND. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND HALF SINCE I HAD CONTACTED THEM. BUT IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED.

MANUFACTURE DATE 10/14. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AFTER AN OIL CHANGE WITH FILTER. ALSO THE CABIN AIR FILTER WAS REPLACED. THE ENGINE AIR FILTER WAS NOT REPLACED. 1. OWNER LEFT SHOP AND CALLED ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER SAYING THAT SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. TWO TECHNICIANS WENT TO THE SCENE AND FRONT OF VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND PASSENGER AREA OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS ALSO MELTED AWAY. 2. AFTER RESEARCHING FOR THIS YEAR/ MAKE AND MODEL THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL OTHER CARS WITH MYSTERIOUS FIRES. 3. DISCUSSED WITH TECHNICIAN AND THE ONLY ITEM THAT WAS

THE NISSAN ALTIMA STARTS THROUGH A TECHNOLOGY CALLED "PUSH TO START". WHEN I GET INTO MY VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD SAYS "KEY ID INCORRECT". THIS STARTED HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTER MY CAR WAS PROGRAMMED FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WILL NOT START SINCE YOU NEED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO START THE CAR, AND IF THE KEY IS NOT RECOGNIZED FOR TOO LONG THE CAR HAS STOPPED DRIVING WHILE IN MOTION. LASTLY, THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE AND THE KEY ID IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED. IF YOU ARE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION THIS CAN BE PROBLEMATIC.
