JUST FILED COMPLAINT # 11000784. FOUND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON INTERNET DATED MARCH 7, 2017 - "NISSAN ALTIMA AND MAXIMA STEERING LOCK PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED FOR FREE AFTER THE AUTOMAKER ANNOUNCED A 'SERVICE CAMPAIGN' FOR 243,000 MODEL YEAR 2009-2010 NISSAN ALTIMA, ALTIMA COUPE, ALTIMA HYBRID AND MAXIMA CARS. ALTHOUGH NOT A RECALL, THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN WILL FIX STEERING LOCKS (ECLS) THAT LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE ALTIMA AND MAXIMA CARS ARE PARKED AND TURNED OFF. HOWEVER, THOSE STEERING LOCKS HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND CAN LEAVE OWNERS AND THEIR CARS SITTING IN PARKING LOTS OR DRIVEWAYS." "NISSAN HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE STEERING LOCK WITH AN ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN BOX AT NO CHARGE FOR PARTS AND LABOR, A JOB THAT SHOULD TAKE AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR TO COMPLETE." "THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN BOX WILL REPLACE THE ESCL ASSEMBLY BUT WILL NO LONGER LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF. THE AUTOMAKER SAYS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING FUNCTION IS NOT NECESSARY BECAUSE THE ALTIMA AND MAXIMA ARE EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-THEFT IMMOBILIZERS TO HELP PREVENT THEFT." "IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR REPAIRS TO THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK, NISSAN WILL REIMBURSE WHAT YOU SPENT AS LONG AS YOU CAN SHOW PROOF OF REPAIRS. IF THOSE REPAIRS WERE ABOVE $1,000., YOU'LL NEED TO SHOW PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR." PLEASE ADD THIS TO COMPLAINT #11000784 FILED A FEW MOMENTS BEFORE THIS ONE.

THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY DEFECT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 65/70 MPH. I HAD TO BREAK, DUE TO TRAFFIC. I PRESSED ON THE GAS, IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND, THE CAR DIDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL. I RELEASED THE GAS AND PRESSED AGAIN...STILL THE SAME THING. THIS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF VERY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON, AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW DOWN... THEN SUDDENLY AS I WAS RELEASING MY FOOT FROM THE GAS...IT FORCEFULLY ACCELERATED CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS, TO KEEP ME FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FROM OF ME. I HAD TO CAREFULLY COAST MY WAY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS I WAS IN THE FAST LANE CLOSEST TO THE MEDIAN. IT STILL WOULDN'T COMPLETELY ACCELERATE, IT KIND OF SCOOTED OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER ABOUT 3 TRIES IT STARTED, AND I COULD DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO MY HOUSE, AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO REPLICATE THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE. IT'S SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, AND AT THE PRESENT MOMENT, DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO GET IT TOWED ANYWHERE TO BE LOOKED AT. IT'S SUCH A SHAME THAT AS SOON AS YOU PAY A CAR OFF, AND YOU ARE NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, THAT YOU START TO HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT A NISSAN, BECAUSE THEY WERE KNOWN FOR THEIR LONGEVITY.... I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN AGAIN. I LOOK ON THE SITES TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE NOT FOUND ONE. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. I'M A SINGLE MOM, WITH TWO KIDS. ONE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND THE OTHER IN COLLEGE. I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR NOTE.

I HAVE HAD THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO A CORNER THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND LOSES ALL POWER AND ABILITY TO STEER. THE FIRST TWO OCCASIONS OCCURRED WHERE I COULD SIMPLY PLACE THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THE LAST OCCURRENCE 2/9/17 HAPPENED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE WAS TURNING INTO AN ALLEY GOING LESS THAN 20MPH WHEN CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART, THE CAR TURNED ON BUT WHEN PUSHING THE GAS THE CAR WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND THE WRECKER TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR ONTO THE TOW TRUCK BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET IT UP THE BED AS IT DIDNT HAVE ANY POWER TO DRIVE UP THE BED. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO CODES THAT WERE IDENTIFIED. THEY STATED IT WAS RUNNING JUST FINE, AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZZARD AS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NOTICE WHEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS COULD EASILY BE A HUGE ACCIDENT IF OCCURS ON THE FREEWAY. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE CAR. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS (ALL REPORTING THAT NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES PROMPTED DURING DIAGNOSING).

AFTER DRIVING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS IN WARM WEATHER OR UPHILL, CAR BEGINS TO LOOSE POWER AND BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOT GIVE MORE POWER AND I NEED TO PULL OVER AND WAIT ANYWHERE FROM 15 MINUTES TO AN HOUR FOR THE CAR TO RESET ITSELF.

THE DASHBOARD IS LITERALLY MELTING AND HAS PUDDLES OF TACKY RESIDUE. I LIVE IN FLORIDA. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN FLORIDA. THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING DOWN AND CAUSING A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR PASSENGERS, OTHER MVA'S AND ESPECIALLY PEDESTRIANS AS THEY ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IN DAYLIGHT. THE TACKY SUBSTANCE CANNOT BE CLEANED. ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT STICKS. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IT IS A DEFECT IN COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND HAS NOT BEEN CAUSED BY SOLVENTS OR CLEANERS. NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT DESPITE THIS BEING A KNOWN ISSUE. THE COST TO REPLACE IS OVER $2K. NISSAN HAS ENTERED INTO A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FOR MODEL YEARS 2008 & 2009 (SANBORN V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA) BUT I HAVE A 2010 AND IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. 2010'S SHOULD BE RECALLED NOW AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION FOR THIS KNOWN AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED UNLESS THESE DASHBOARDS ARE RECALLED AND REPLACED. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE MOST PREVALENT IN FLORIDA BASED ON WHAT I'VE SEEN ONLINE. PLEASE GOOGLE "NISSAN ALTIMA MELTING DASHBOARD" - IT'S NOT AN UNCOMMON COMPLAINT. I'M PROVIDING 2 PICTURES TO DEMONSTRATE VISIBILITY WHEN PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AS WELL AS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. TRY TO LOCATE THE LICENSE PLATE ON THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME, LET ALONE READ IT. NOW IMAGINE IF SOMEONE WERE TO WALK IN FRONT OF MY CAR. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. ON NOVEMBER , 12 2016, I TOOK MY 2010 NISSIAN ALTIMA INTO GRIFFIN NISSIAN'S DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT DUE TO AN AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON THE DAY PRIOR, WHILE IN MOTION. IT'S STILL ON PARKED ALSO. IT NEVER GOES OFF. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN A SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED ME AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS A SENSOR INSIDE THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS GONE BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I ASKED WAS THAT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURE AND HE ADVISED ME THAT HE WASN'T SURE. HE ADVISED IT WOULD BE AN ESTIMATED COST OF AROUND $600.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE SENSOR. I THEN RESEARCH THE ISSUE ABOUT THE SENSOR, AND MY RESEARCH SHOWED THAT SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSIAN MANUFACTURE. AND I EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM MY CAR HAD AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT SOMEONE WOULD VIEW THE CASE AND CONTACT ME BACK. THE NEXT DAY SOMEONE FROM NISSIAN MANUFACTURE CONTACTED ME AND ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE AIRBAG ISSUE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I STATED TO THEM THAT THIS ISN'T A PART THAT HAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND SHOULD BE BACKED BY THE MANUFACTURE AND I EXPRESS HOW THAT SENSOR NOT WORKING CORRECTLY COULD CAUSE MY FAMILY AND I HARM IF WE WERE TO GET INTO A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM GRIFFEN NISSIAN ON 10-15-2014, THE CAR WAS USED, AND HOWEVER I TAKE MY VEHICLE TO GRIFFEN NISSIAN EVERY TIME ITS NEED TO BE SERVICE AND TO HAVE ROUTINE OIL CHANGES.
