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.

DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO DETERMINE IF IT IS EQUIPPED WITH ONE OF THE AFFECTED WHEELS.

MY CARS DASH STARTED LOOKING SHINY AND FELT STICKY. IT IS ALL STICKY AS IF IT WERE MELTING ITS ALSO CRACKING. THE STICKINESS CAUSES A GLARE THAT MAKES SEEING THE ROAD ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. EVERYTHING IN THE AIR STICKS ON THE DASH TOO. EVEN THOUGH THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS THE GLARE THAT REFLECTS FROM THE WINDSHIELD. THIS CAN SERIOUSLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *JS

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. APPEARED NOT TO BE A BATTERY ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. HOWEVER, CAR STARTED AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED FINE. SUBSEQUENTLY (AFTER A DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE PERSON), IT SEEMED APPARENT THE THERE WAS A WHEEL LOCK SWITCH ASSY FAILURE (WHICH IS UNDER A FORMAL RECALL). I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS SEVERELY BACKORDERED. I THEN DECIDED TO RETURN IN A FEW MONTHS (DURING THE NEXT OIL CHANGE) AND ATTEMPT TO SCHEDULE A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT PER THE FORMAL RECALL. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP (GRUBBS NISSAN IN HURST, TEXAS) TOLD ME THAT "SINCE THE SWITCH WAS NOT BROKEN NOW, THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HONOR THE WARRANTY". I WAS GIVEN A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL CORPORATE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THAT MY WARRANTY REQUEST SHOULD HAVE BEEN HONORED (ESPECIALLY SINCE I ALREADY WAS STRANDED AND HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING ONCE BEFORE!). I WILL CALL CORPORATE ON MONDAY, BUT WANTED TO FILE THIS OFFICIAL COMPLAINT (IF YOU LOOK ON THE WEB, YOU CAN NOTE COUNTLESS PEOPLE IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH MIXED RESULTS (OBVIOUSLY, VERY POORLY COMMUNICATED FROM CORPORATE OUT TO THE DEALERSHIPS OR VERY POORLY COMPLIED WITH AT THE DEALERSHIPS (WHICHEVER IS THE ANSWER, IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE).

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA DASH IS MELTING. DASH HAS CRACKS AS WELL NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAGS AND NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. READ IN FORUMS THAT THE CAR DEALERSHIPS SAY THAT WHEN THE DASH HAS CRACKS AND IS MELTING AIR BAGS COULD NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE DASH DUE TO THE CAR BEING OUT OF WARRANTY AND EXPECT ME TO BUY A NEW ONE WHEN THIS SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AS PART OF THE DESIGN. *TR

2009 NISSAN ALTIMA INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT START. CAR WILL ONLY CLICK OVER AND UNABLE TO SHIFT CAR INTO NEUTRAL. AIR CONDITIONING AND RADIO WORK, BUT WHEN YOU PRESS ON BRAKE TO START CAR NOTHING HAPPENS. DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, BUT HAVE BEEN GOT CAUGHT OUT MANY TIMES WHEN CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO NOTIFY AAA. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN'S AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. *TR

THE CAR WILL NOT START. ALL ELECTRICS WORK, CAR AND KEY FOB BATTERIES ARE NEW, BUT WHEN YOU PRESS THE START BUTTON THE CAR WON'T START. THIS 'GIMMICK' OF A KEY-FREE VEHICLE IS FUNDAMENTALLY DEFECTIVE AND AN INTERNET REVIEW SHOWS THOUSANDS OF NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. COMMON WISDOM SAYS THAT THE ANTI-THEFT STEERING LOCK IS ENGAGING WHEN IT SHOULD NOT AND THE REPAIR COST IS @ $1,000. NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS ON RECALL AS THEY DID SO ON OTHER VEHICLES AND MADE CHANGES TO NEWER ALTIMA MODELS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THE EFFECT IS THAT I CAN'T USE MY CAR AT ALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION IN EVERY OTHER WAY. *TR

OCT 2012: PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF SYMBOL ILLUMINATED WITH ADULT SITTING IN THE SEAT. DEALER DIAGNOSIS: NO CODES IN SYSTEM FOUND. DEALER RECALIBRATED THE AIR BAG. CUSTOMER COST $100 DEC 2013: PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF SYMBOL ILLUMINATED AND DASHBOARD AIR BAG SYMBOL FLASHING. DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT CUSHION SENSOR NEEDED REPLACING. CUSTOMER COST $130 FOR DIAGNOSIS, $399 FOR SENSOR. MAY 2014: BODY SHOPS REFUSE TO HANDLE AIR BAG ISSUES AND WAS REFERRED BACK TO A NISSAN DEALER. SEAT CUSHION ASSEMBLY WAS NOW OVER $700 BECAUSE THE ENTIRE SEAT CUSHION NEEDED REPLACING. NISSAN NO LONGER REPLACES JUST THE SENSOR. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH NISSAN ASKING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART . NISSAN REQUIRED ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS TO BE WITHIN A 3 MONTH PERIOD. JULY 2014: NISSAN REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE COST BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *JS

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES, AND NOW THIS WEEK THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN FLASHING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS MALFUNCTIONING. IF THE CAR WAS IN A COLLISION AND SOMEONE WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHILE THIS CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH SAME COMPLAINT, BUT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. FUNNY, HOW 2013-2014 ALTIMAS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT THE EARLIER MODEL YEARS HAVE NOT BEEN. *TR

AROUND 2012 THE DASHBOARD IN THIS ALTIMA IS MELTING. IT'S TURNING INTO A GLOSSY GOO THAT IS CAUSING A EXTREME GLARE INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS ON THIS, SO THEY WONT FIX IT. I WENT TO WWW.YOUTUBE.COM AND FOUND THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH NISSAN,TOYOTA,MAZDA & LEXUS. *JS

TRAVELING ON A 3 HOUR TRIP, OF WHICH WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 TO 80 MPH SPEEDS. AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS OF RUNNING THESE SPEEDS NON STOP I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE COMING UP ON A SMALL INCLINE, THE CAR LOST POWER MY SPEED INSTANTLY DROPPED TO 60 MPH. I STOPPED AT THE NEXT GAS STATION (TEN MILES DOWN THE ROAD)TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, IT WAS FINE. GOT BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT RAN OK. THE NEXT DAY ON THE ROAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED, I STOPPED FOR 10 MINUTES, GOT BACK ON THE ROAD THEN IT RAN OK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT IF A VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME. AFTER RESEARCHING THE WEB I DISCOVERED MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE THIS NISSAN IS AN INTERSTATE DEATH TRAP THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA COUP V6 EDITION FREQUENTLY TURNS OFF THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE PERSON WEIGHS OVER 125 LBS AND SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR THE SEAT TO SENSE AN ADULT IN IT. FOR SOME REASON IT INTERMITTENTLY WILL FLASH THE DASH BOARD LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT GO OFF DURING AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE OCCUPANT IS TOO LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IN INTO THE DEALER ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE SENSOR AND AIRBAG UNIT ARE FUNCTIONING, AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
