NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2009 AND 2010 ALTIMA AND MAXIMA PASSENGER CARS. THE UPPER FRONT STRUT INSULATORS MAY HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION RESULTING IN A POTENTIAL FOR THE STRUT INSULATOR TO CRACK.
IF THE STRUT INSULATOR IS CRACKED, THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR THE STRUT ROD TO COME OUT OF ITS MOUNTING POSITION, WHICH COULD AFFECT VEHICLE STABILITY AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FRONT STRUT INSULATORS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN OCTOBER 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-NISSAN1 (1-800-647-7261).

NISSAN IS RECALLING 3,403 MY 2009 ALTIMA VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 16-INCH ALLOY WHEELS. SOME THESE WHEELS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED TO SPECIFICATION. THIS COULD CAUSE ONE OR MORE OF THE FIVE LUG NUTS ATTACHING THE WHEEL TO THE VEHICLE TO BECOME LOOSE.

CAR DEESN'T START, IT IS BECAUSE OF FAULTY STEERING LOCK SYSTEM. NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PART BUT DIDN'T DO RECALL. IT HAS HAPPEND TO MANY PEOPLE AND YESTERDAY I WAS STRANDED AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START. THE REPAIR IS COSTLY AND NISSAN IS NOT PAYING FOR IT.

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL STARTED WITHOUT A PROBLEM. STOPPED AT THE STORE, WAS IN THERE FOR 10 MINUTES. CAME OUT, MY CAR WOULDN'T START. IT WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK, LIGHTS WORKED, BUT WOULDN'T START. ATTEMPTED FIXING FOR 2 DAYS BY DRIVING UP TO THE PARKING SPOT WITH A BUNCH OF TIPS AND TRICKS ONLINE BUT ENDED UP TOWING MY VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND SPENT $800+ TO GET IT FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE KEY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,000.

RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN IN THE MAIL THAT THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK CONTROL UNIT CAN BREAK CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. THIS EVENT OCCURRED TO ME ON 10/08/2015 RESULTING IN A TOWING BILL, RENTAL CAR FEE AND A REPAIR FEE AT NISSAN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WILL NOT REIMBURSE SINCE VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE WARRANTY PERIOD EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED IN THEIR CORPORATE LETTER THAT THIS MALFUNCTION IS A KNOWN ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE.

TURNED OFF MY CAR TO GET GAS WHEN I WENT TO RESTART IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TO GET DIAGNOSTICS COMPLETED AS RECOMMEND FROM NISSAN. I SEE THIS AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I'M A SINGLE WOMAN STRANDED IN A BAD PART OF THE CITY WAITING HELPLESSLY FOR A TOW TRUCK. THEN HAD TO RIDE ALONG WITH A STRANGER (TOW TRUCK DRIVER) TO THE DEALERSHIP. RESULTS CAME BACK AS STEERING LOCK UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THIS COVERED AS THEY PUT OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PART. THE CASE WAS DENIED BECAUSE THEY SAID THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN MARCH '15. I NOW HAVE TO PAY $1008.21 THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS DIDN'T B/C THEIR ISSUE FELL WITHIN THE WARRANTY TIME. IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT SOME CUSTOMERS ARE BEING COVERED WHILE OTHER ARE NOT B/C THEIR ISSUES HAPPENED EARLIER. NISSAN HAS CLEARLY RECOGNIZED THIS PART AS AN ISSUE AND ARE NOW NOT TREATING ALL CUSTOMER'S FAIRLY. THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED SOMETHING IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS AND IT WAS ALL OVER THEIR WEBSITE. WELL, I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING IN THE MAIL & I'M NOT SURE IF MOST PEOPLE ARE LOOKING INTO HOW THEIR CAR IS GOING TO BREAKDOWN IN THE FUTURE SO I WAS NEVER AWARE OF THIS UNTIL IT HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL FROM PHOENIX TO FLAGSTAFF, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND WENT INTO "FAIL-SAFE" MODE, WHICH IMMEDIATELY CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE POWER AND SLOW TO ABOUT 20 MPH. THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN WHICH I WAS FORCED TO QUICKLY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE 2-LANE FREEWAY.

TRIED TO START MY CAR ONE DAY AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WAS LOCATED IN FRONT OF MY CHILDREN'S SCHOOL . AFTER GETTING A DIAGNOSIS FROM THE DEALER I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK. I WAS LATER TOLD THAT IT WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED FOR THE PART BECAUSE TONS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM BUT THE WARRANTY RAN OUT JUNE 29, 2015. HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE IF THEY DO T CONTACT ME? NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1100

BEWARE TO ANYBODY WHO DRIVES A 2009 OR 2010 NISSAN ALTIMA. FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, IT WILL DECIDE TO NOT START AND STRAND YOU - SEVERE ISSUE. IT'S ESCL (ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK: YOUR CAR ACTS LIKE IT WAS BROKEN INTO AND / OR STOLEN), WHICH IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WHICH THEY REFUSE TO PUT ON THE RECALL LIST, EVEN THOUGH IT'S LISTED ON NHTSA'S SERVICE BULLETIN (NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION). AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE FOR CONSUMERS, SOME NISSAN SERVICE CENTERS PAID FOR IT UNDER LIFETIME WARRANTY OF THE CAR, SOME DID NOT. VERY INCONSISTENT! THE SAME ITEM FOR MURANO WAS LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST, YET NOT ALTIMA. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE TO 6 YEARS FOR ALTIMA, CONVENIENTLY MINE EXPIRED 2 MONTHS AGO (NO NOTIFICATION OF ISSUE AND / OR EXTENDED WARRANTY). IT WILL COST ME ALMOST $1,000.00 TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECT (WHICH I'M GRUDGINGLY PAYING AS I NEED MY CAR AND THEY KNOW IT)! TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION STANCE (MAYBE MORGAN & MORGAN), SO TIRED OF THE LITTLE GUY BEING SCREWED BY THESE BIG COMPANIES! I LOVED THIS CAR UNTIL SUNDAY, I NOW FEEL VERY UNSURE OF ITS RELIABILITY, NOT TO MENTION THE MONEY PIT IT MAY BECOME...GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA HAD A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK UNIT THAT RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE FOR MY WIFE AS DRIVER AND HER PASSENGERS. SHE HAD TO GET STRANDED AND HAVE IT TOWED BEFORE THE THIRD DEALER WE SAW ABOUT THE PROBLEM COULD DIAGNOSE THE ROOT CAUSE. SHE WAS IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION THREE HOURS FROM WHERE I WAS LOCATED WHEN THE PART MALFUNCTIONED AND FEARED FOR HER SAFETY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THIS MODEL HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES IN ITS HISTORY WITH THIS PARTICULAR PART TO THE POINT THAT NISSAN EXTEND THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY UNTIL APRIL OF 2015 - ALL ACCORDING TO A SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE THIRD DEALERSHIP I WENT TO. WHEN MALFUNCTIONING, THIS UNIT RENDERS THE VEHICLE ABSOLUTELY MOTIONLESS AND PRESENTS AN IMMEDIATE UNSAFE AND HAZARDOUS SITUATION TO THE DRIVER AND ALL PASSENGERS. THE DEALER SUGGESTED I CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHICH I DID AND SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE IN FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE, WHO DENIED MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THE COST OF THE PART. I DID NOT REQUEST TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT AND THOUGHT WE COULD WORK THIS OUT IN GOOD FAITH, BUT TO NO AVAIL AND MY GESTURE WAS DISMISSED. NISSAN KNOWS THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND EVEN EXTENDED THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED NATIONWIDE ON ALL APPLICABLE VEHICLES. THIS MAY BE THE REASON WHY NISSAN EXTENDED THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY ON THIS PARTICULAR PART BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND PROBLEMATIC. I BELIEVE THAT NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE PART ON THE ALTIMA MODELS AFFECTED AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNER BECAUSE THEY KNOW AND ARE AWARE THAT THE COMPONENT PART IS HAS A HISTORY OF BEING DEFECTIVE, UNSAFE, AND UNRELIABLE.

CAR WAS PARKED FOR 8 HOURS, WENT TO START AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN, KEY LIGHT ON DASH WAS LIGHT. STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT LOCKED. BATTERY OK, FOB WORKING OPENING DOOR LOCKS.
Steering, Electrical system, Engine, Oct 6, 2015
WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER BEING DRIVEN AN HOUR PRIOR TO THE MALFUNCTION. THE KEY FOB INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON BUT THE CAR WILL NOT START OR RESPOND TO THE START BUTTON. THE KEY FOB UNLOCKS/LOCKS THE CAR. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL LOCK THAT KEEPS THE CAR FROM BEING STOLEN OR STARTED WITHOUT THE KEY FOB. THIS IS, FROM WHAT I DISCOVERED, A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSANS AND IN MY VIEW A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN HAS MADE THIS A WARRANTY EXTENSION INSTEAD OF A SAFETY RECALL FOR REASONS UNKNOWN. WITH NO WAY TO TELL WHEN AND IF A STEERING LOCK WILL FAIL IT IS A GAME OF CHANCE THAT MANY NISSAN OWNERS ARE LOSING. IF YOU ARE LIKE ME, AND PURCHASED YOUR CAR USED, IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT YOU WILL NOT KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE UNTIL ITS ALREADY TOO LATE. ON TOP OF THAT, SINCE IT IS A WARRANTY IT HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE. WHICH MEANS THAT IF YOU ARE UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND IT FAILS THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT FOR FREE.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT 60,000 MILES FROM A NISSAN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE PUSH BUTTON DOES NOT START THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT DOES START AND WILL GO OFF BY ITSELF. THE SHIFT TICK IS LOCKED AND WON'T CHANGE GEARS. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN AND THEY BOTH SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE. SO I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT DOES NOT WORK. WHEN IT DOES TURN ON I HAVE TO PRESS THE LOCK RELEASE ON THE SHIFTER FOR IT TO ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. DANGEROUS REALLY. NO ACCOUNTABILITY

STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY FAILURE LEFT US COMPLETELY STRANDED. WE RETURNED TO OUR CAR AND THE START BUTTON DID NOTHING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I WAS ABLE TO RETURN WITH A HAMMER AND AFTER STRIKING THE INTERLOCK SEVERAL TIMES, IT STARTED WORKING. THE ONLY PERMANENT REPAIR FOR THIS IS TO PAY THE DEALER $1,000 TO REPLACE THE MODULE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD LEAVE MY WIFE STRANDED RANDOMLY AT ANYTIME OR ANY PLACE THAT SHE DRIVES THE CAR. NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, BUT THIS FAILED 6 MONTHS AFTER IT EXPIRED... THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL
