Nissan Altima electrical problems

AFTER STOPPING AT THE STORE MY CAR NO LONGER WOULD START. I LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE IT IS HOT, THIS IS A DANGER TO BE STUCK AND NO WAY TO FIX IT. THE KEY LIGHT POPPED ON. APPARENTLY AFTER RESEARCH IT IS NOTED NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK PROBLEM. IF THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WHY NOT RECALL THE PART INSTEAD OF LEAVING MOTORIST STRANDED. IF THE PART MALFUNCTIONS THERE IS NO WAY TO MOVE THE CAR. I'M NOT SURE WHERE IT IS OK TO CHARGE 1200 DOLLARS KNOWING YOUR PART IS DEFECTIVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS LEFT ME STRANDED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. *TR

ON MAY 1, 2015 MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER. MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA'S ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) SYSTEM FAILED 4 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION EXPIRED.THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT ACCORDING TO NISSAN "HAPPENING TO ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF VEHICLES". IF THE NUMBER IS SO MINISCULE THEN WHY NOT ISSUE A RECALL?? I CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT I WOULD BE DEALING WITH IF I EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE AWAY FROM HOME OR TRAVELING. I THANK GOD THAT MY FAMILY AND I WERE AT HOME. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. APPARENTLY NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE ISSUES THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK IS HAVING. NISSAN CHOSE TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY INSTEAD OF RECALL THE PART. KNOWING THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE EFFECTED ALTIMA OWNERS WOULD FALL OUTSIDE THAT WARRANTY. OF COURSE NOW MY STEERING COLUMN HAS MALFUNCTIONED EVEN THOUGH NISSAN STATES THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR MAJORITY OF CAR OWNERS. THEY KNOW THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF WRITE UPS ON THE INTERNET. IT IS UNFAIR TO THE ALTIMA CAR OWNERS. NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR USING DEFECTIVE PARTS. THEY HAVE SINCE DISCONTINUED USING THESE PARTS, AND LEFT NISSAN ALTIMA CAR OWNERS HOLDING THEIR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET. THE ONE CAR WE HAVE CAN NOT FUNCTION, AND THEY ARE ASKING FOR OVER$1000 TO REPAIR IT. ISSUE: THE CAR WILL NOT DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION AND DEFECTIVE PART. PLEASE HELP US THE 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA CAR OWNERS G *TRET THIS PART FULLY RECALLED BY NISSAN. THANK YOU! *TR

CAR BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGHLY AND WAS HARD TO START. REPLACED OXYGEN SENSORS WHICH DID NOT CURE SYMPTOMS. WAS TOLD THAT THE 2 PRE-CATS (CATALYTIC CONVERTERS) NEEDED REPLACED. MOTOR MOUNTS ALSO RECOMMENDED. REPLACED AND PROBLEM PERSISTED. HARD TO START, RUNS ROUGH NOW SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. RAN CODES MYSELF WITH OBD-II TOOL AND FOUND CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS TO BE FAULTY. I HEARD OF A RECALL FOR THIS VERY ISSUE; EVEN DESCRIBED MY SYMPTOMS EXACTLY. EVEN THOUGH MY YEAR MODEL AND CAR WAS RECALLED THE NISSAN OF FORT WORTH SERVICE DESK TOLD ME MY VIN # WAS NOT COVERED. MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AS ALL OF THE OTHER NISSANS MADE IN THIS YEAR RANGE AND THE SAME FAULTY CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS BUT FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON MINE ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE. I HAVE REPLACED A LOT OF PRICEY PARTS ALL WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY REPLACING THE SENSORS. EVEN IF I HAD TO PAY FOR THE CRANK AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BAD IF I HAD NOT PAID OVER $3000 IN REPAIRS TO OTHER STUFF THAT MAY NOT HAVE NEEDED REPLACING. *TR

IN THE SEPTEMBER OF 2014, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING (WOULD NOT OPEN/CLOSE WITH THE USE OF EITHER THE REMOTE OR THE BUTTON ON THE DRIVER DOOR). AT FIRST IT WAS THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS, BUT THEN OVER THE NEXT 1-2 WEEKS BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT NOR EXPOSED TO EXCESSIVE WATER/FIRE/ETC AROUND THIS TIME. WHEN I HAD IT EVALUATED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THE DOOR ACTUATORS HAD BROKEN, BUT GIVEN NO EXPLANATION AS TO HOW/WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN FOR ALL 4 DOORS AT THE SAME TIME. DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF REPAIR (QUOTED $250 PER DOOR), I HAVE NOT HAD THESE FIXED. NOW, NEARLY 9-10 MONTHS LATER, THE LOCKS REMAIN COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE TO THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE AND THE POWER LOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR, AND MUST BE MANUALLY LOCKED/UNLOCKED. *TR

I WENT TO START MY CAR AND AN AMBER LIGHT WITH A KEY CAME ON MY DASHBOARD. MY CAR WOULD NOT START. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A MALFUNCTION OF THE ESCL(ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK). THE REPAIR COST ME 893.90. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS SO NISSAN NEW IT WAS A PROBLEM. THE WARRANTY ENDED 3 MONTHS AGO. NISSAN WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS MY 4TH NISSAN. *TR

CAR PURCHASED 2/27/2015. HAVING A TIRE SENSOR AND TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED IN LESS THEN TWO WEEKS OF PURCHASING THIS THING, NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WEEKS LATER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THEY RAN TESTS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WAS TOLD THAT A PART MAYBE GOING BAD BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT WAS COMPLETELY BAD. THEY TURNED THE LIGHT OFF AND WAS TOLD THAT IF IT CAME BACK ON THEN TO BRING IT BACK. TWO DAYS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN TO CHECK IT FOR 4 DAYS. MY HUSBAND WENT UP THERE TO TALK TO THE REPRESENTATIVE. HE TOLD THEM THAT WE WERE HEADING OUT OF TOWN OVER 600 MILES AWAY. HE WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WOULD BE OK AND DID WE PURCHASE A LEMON. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DON'T SELL LEMONS AND WE SHOULD BE FINE. THE ASSOCIATE TURNED THE LIGHT OFF. AFTER RETURNING FROM THE TRIP 3 DAYS LATER, 2 HOURS FROM HOME, THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. TWO DAYS LATER IT WENT OFF. A WEEK AND A HALF THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND MY HUSBAND, BEING FEED UP, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED FOR $160 AND THAT'S WHY THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. THE UPDATE WAS DONE ON 4/20/2015. TODAY, 4/22/2015, I WENT TO MY SON'S SPORTS BANQUET AND THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TAKING IT BACK UP THERE ON THE 24TH. I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE SOMETHING IS GOING ON AND WE ARE NOT BEING TOLD ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND EVERYTHING BUT NOTHING HAS COME UP. I AM JUST ABOUT READY TO GET RID OF A 2013 CAR THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD FOR A FULL 2 MONTHS. *TR
