NISSAN IS RECALLING 204,361 MY 2007-2008 ALTIMA, ALTIMA HYBRID, 350Z, 350Z ROADSTER, MY 2008 ALTIMA COUPE, ROGUE, MY 2009 MURANO, AND INFINITI MY 2007-2008 G35 SEDAN, MY 2008 G37 COUPE AND EX35 PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS' OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) CONTROL UNITS. A VARISTOR IN THE OCS CONTROL UNIT LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE AN INTERRUPTION OF SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU).
THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING SUPPRESSED WHICH COULD FAIL TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL TEST THE SIGNAL BETWEEN THE OCS AND ACU SYSTEMS USING A SPECIAL TOOL TO CHECK THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. IF NECESSARY, THE SEAT CUSHION (CONTAINING OCS HARDWARE) WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) REPLACED DURING SERVICE AT A DEALERSHIP, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) MAY HAVE BEEN INADVERTENTLY DEACTIVATED DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE DEALER SERVICE SOFTWARE. IF THE TPMS IS TURNED OFF, IT WOULD NOT ALERT THE DRIVER TO A DECREASE IN THE TIRE PRESSURE AS DESIGNED.
DRIVING ON UNDER-INFLATED TIRES IS UNSAFE AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL CHECK THE TPMS FUNCTION AND REACTIVATE IT IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 18, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

VALVE STEM ON THE TPMS POPPED OFF WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WAS CORRODED. CAUSES CATASTROPHIC TIRE DEFLATION AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. FACTORY TPMS VALVE STEMS SHOULD BE REPLACED FROM ALUMINUM TO SOMETHING MORE RESISTANT TO CORROSION. OTHER THREE TIRE VALVE STEMS ARE CORRODED AS WELL AND MAY BECOME AS HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING. *TR
Electrical system, Engine, Sep 10, 2012, fire
PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MERGED INTO A LEFT HAND TURN LANE. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I NOTICED BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK. MY CAR THEN CAUGHT FIRE AND IT WAS LATER TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE PREVIOUS DAY I HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CHANGED MY OIL/FILTER AND CHANGED A PART THAT WAS RECALLED (DEALING WITH LEAKING BRAKE FLUIDS).... COINCIDENCE (SARCASM MEANT)??? *TR
Exterior lighting, Service brakes, Aug 24, 2012
WHEN DEPRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. THIS IS CAUSED DIFFICULTY FOR CAR TO START. BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH SETTING WAS ADJUSTED OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS, BUT FINALLY IN MARCH OF 2011 I NOTICED IT AGAIN WHILE FOLLOWING THE CAR HOME ONE NIGHT THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT COMING ON. IT TURNS OUT THAT NISSAN HAD AN NTB10-139 ON THIS PROBLEM CALLING FOR COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE SWITCH ASSEMBLY AND HARNESS. THIS LOSS OF BRAKE LIGHTS WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF THE DRIVER IS SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. I HAD TO PAY $430 TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE ON APRIL 1, 2011. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE GREENHYBRID.COM WEBSITE. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I HAPPENED TO NOTICE A METAL PIECE HANGING DOWN. SWAY BAR HAD SNAPPED AND WAS DANGLING. HIGHWAY DRIVING AND RARELY A BUMP. MUST BE MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND JUDGING FROM MULTIPLE REPORTS WITH SIMILAR STORIES, MUST BE DEALT WITH. DEALER REPORTS NO CONTACT DAMAGE OR COMPROMISE IN BREAK AREA. MANUFACTURE DEFECT. *TR
Suspension, Aug 11, 2012
I NOTICED A PIECE HANGIDNG DOWN FROM UNDERNEATH THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF MY 2007 ALTIMA. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED I NEEDED NEW SWAY BARS AND LINKS. IN ADDITION, I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE MY MASTER CYLINDER AND ROTORS ALL FOR A WHOPPING $1013.00. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL, BUT THAT THE DEFECT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY ROTORS WHICH I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO FROM A DEALER, I HAVE ALWAYS MADE SURE MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS TAKEN CARE OF, AND MOST OF THE MILES ON MY VEHICLE ARE HIGHWAY MILES ( 69,500 TOTAL MILES),. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND VERY CAREFUL WHEN I DRIVE. I AM MORTIFIED AT THIS BILL AND THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PUT INTO PLACE FOR THE SWAY BAR, AS I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH 2007 ALTIMAS IN PARTICULAR. *TR
Suspension, Aug 9, 2012
SIMILAR TO MANY OTHERS, I NOTICED A PIECE HANGING DOWN FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE SWAY BAR. IT HAD JUST BROKEN IN HALF. THIS APPARENTLY HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY OWNERS OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE A DEFECT, AND COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

Suspension, Jul 24, 2012
LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAW SOMETHING HANGING FROM THE BOTTOM. BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND FOUND THAT THE SWAY BAR, SOMETIMES CALLED THE STABILIZER BAR, BROKE IN HALF. THE CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2007. *TR
Engine, Jul 21, 2012
THE ENGINE COOLING ASSEMBLY ON THE NISSAN ALTIMA FROM 2007-2012 AFTER THEY REACH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILEAGE THEY BEGIN TO START LEAKING OIL. IT STARTS OFF WITH JUST A COUPLE OF DRIPS AND OVER TIME IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE. THERE ARE A NUMEROUS NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS ONLINE ASKING IF OTHERS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SO OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A FAULTY PART THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THESE VEHICLES THAT NISSAN IS AVOIDING THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ISSUE. WHICH CAN CAUSE YOUR VEHICLE TO LOSE ALL THE ENGINE OIL WITHOUT REALIZING IT AND DAMAGING YOUR ENGINE. I AM ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE, WANTING NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE COSTS. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENGINE OIL COOLING ASSEMBLY IS QUITE COSTLY. THIS PART IS A PART THAT CAN'T BE DAMAGED BY HUMAN ERROR, IT IS TUCKED AWAY UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE . THANK YOU *TR

REAR STABILIZER BAR (AKA SWAY BAR) SNAPPED ON DRIVER'S SIDE. WAS TURNING RIGHT FROM A STOP AND HEARD A "SPRUNG" NOISE BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A SMALL POTHOLE. A WEEK LATER, NOTICED SOMETHING HANGING UNDER THE CAR - IT WAS PART OF THE BAR. NO RUST UNDER THE CAR WHATSOEVER - FAILURE DUE TO CORROSION WOULD BE HIGHLY UNLIKELY. METAL FATIGUE, MANUFACTURER DEFECT, OR UNDER-ENGINEERED SUSPENSION DESIGN ARE MORE LIKELY. BODY ROLL A BIT MORE PRONOUNCED THAN BEFORE THE INCIDENT, BUT VEHICLE IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS CURRENT STATE. CAR OUT OF WARRANTY. PURCHASED AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT PART AND WILL BE INSTALLING IT MYSELF. *TR

DEALER ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO CAR AT $2667.99, REPORTED INCIDENT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE #[XXX]. I WILL NOW DRIVE THE CAR WITH EXTREME CAUTION AND DISCOURAGE MY WIFE FROM DRIVING IT. WAITING FOR RESPONSE BY NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE, WHICH WAS PROMISED WITHIN TWO WORKING DAYS.

THE REAR SWAY BAR ON MY 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA IS BROKEN. I DRIVE LESS THAN 6,000 MILES PER YEAR, AND RARELY IN BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS, BUT I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA SWAY BAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN NOT DRIVING THAT MANY MILES (I ONLY KNEW TO HAVE IT CHECKED BECAUSE I PARKED ON A HILL AND COULD SEE SOMETHING HANGING FROM MY CAR. OTHERWISE, WITH THE LIMITED NUMBER OF MILES I DRIVE, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD MY CAR CHECKED, AND WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE THIS WHOLE TIME). *JS

I WAS DRIVING AND MADE A RIGHT TURN WHEN MY FAMILY AND I HEARD A POP. I DID NOT HIT A POTHOLE OR ANYTHING UNUSUAL. DID NOT REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN I WENT TO MY MECHANIC TO REPLACE THE STRUTS AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE SWAY BAR WAS BROKEN. FOR NO REASON IT BROKE AND I THINK THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD MAKE THIS PART A RECALL. I LOVE OBVIOUSLY NISSAN BECAUSE IN MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY WE OWN THREE OF THEM. I LOVE TO CONTINUE TO BE A NISSAN OWNER, BUT IF THEY CANNOT CONTINUE TO MAKE RELIABLE CARS, WE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. I HOPE NISSAN WOULD TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM, RECTIFY IT AND CONTINUE TO BUILD DEPENDABLE CARS THAT WE HAVE GROWN TO LOVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I HEARD A BANG, AND THEN THE CAR STARTED MAKE A NOISE LIKE THE EXHAUST LET GO, AND VIBRATED WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO GAIN SOME SPEED, SO WHEN I GOT IT CHECKED OUT IT CAME OUT TO BE THE SWAY BAR BROKE ON THE DRIVER SIDE, I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULDN'T JUST BREAK, EVEN IF YOU DO HIT A BUMP, I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NISSAN WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I ALWAYS HAVE MY 3 YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY IN THE CAR, I WAS TOLD NOT TO DRIVE VERY FAR WITH IT BROKEN BUT I AM TRYING TO GET SOME ANSWERS FIRST, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN, A PART LIKE THIS SHOULDN'T JUST BREAK. I AM FROM NOVA SCOTIA CANADA B1A-2S2 BUT THE LIST BELOW SAYS YOU HAVE TO BE FROM THE UNITED STATES. *TT
