2001 Nissan Altima

VEHICLE LOST SPEED FROM 40 TO 80 MPH. GAUGES SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN ON THE DASHBOARD. THE ENGINE STILL RUNS. I AM ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL , BACK INTO DRIVE AFTER COASTING. THE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OFF. ON OCT 31, 2005 THE SPEED SENSOR UNIT WAS REPLACED. CAR RAN GREAT UNTIL WARM WEATHER. NOW IT IS SHUTTING DOWN AGAIN, AGAIN, AND AGAIN ON WARM DAYS. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT IT HAS ACTED THIS WAY ON THEM ALSO. *NM

I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 15-20 MILES AN HOUR IN MY 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA GXE LE. A TRUCK CUT ME OFF AND I WAS FORCED TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. IN TURN MY CAR SLAMMED INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. MY SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND MY HEAD BOUNCED OF MY STEERING WHEEL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY MY SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK AND WHY MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED OUT BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY AS A TOTAL LOSS. AS FAR AS CORRECTIVE ACTION NONE WAS TAKEN AS THE CAR IS DESTROYED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING THE GAUGES SUDDENLY STOP WORKING, THE RADIO STILL WORKS BUT ALL THE GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GO TO ZERO. ONE TIME THE ENGINE APPEARED TO STOP BUT TURNED BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FIVE OCCASIONS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (REGAL NISSAN) BUT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES SO THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THEY DID A TUNE UP (REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, PLUG WIRES, DISTRIBUTOR AND CAP) BUT THE GAUGES HAVE SHUT OFF TWICE SINCE THE TURN UP. THE DEALER SAID THAT UNLESS THERE IS AN ERROR CODE, THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THE GAUGES SHUT DOWN FOR FIVE MINUTES OR SO, USUALLY THE CAR STILL RUNS. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN, THE GAUGES WORK. *NM

TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON A THREE LANE LOCAL ROAD AT THE SPEED OF 35 MPH WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY OF A SOLID GREEN LIGHT, A MAN FAILED TO YIELD MAKING LEFT TURN AND ENDED UP COLLIDING WITH ME AND DEFLECTING MY VEHICLE TOWARDS A WALL ON THE ROADSIDE. AT IMPACT MY 2001 NISSAN ALTIMA GXE LIMITED EDITION DEPLOYED BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS. MY SAFETY BELT WAS FASTENED AT THE TIME OF THE COLLISION AND THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK MY BODY IN PLACE WHICH LED TO MY HEAD BEING PUSHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH LEFT ME TO BLACKOUT AND GLASS STUCK IN VARIOUS PARTS OF MY HEAD. THIS LEFT SCARS ON MY FACE AND SEVERE WHIPLASH ON MY NECK. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT, THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOTALED. THIS WAS AT 35 MPH ONLY AND I HAVE TWO SWOLLEN KNEES, MY WHOLE BACK AND NECK DAMAGED, BOTH WRISTS HAVE BEEN INJURED AND OTHER PARTS OF MY BODY. NOT INCLUDING MY MENTAL HEALTH, CONSTANT ANXIETY AND STRESS. EVEN THE POLICE OFFICERS AND OTHER PEOPLE SAY THAT INJURIES WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN AS BAD IF THE SEAT BELT LOCKED (THE SEATBELT FAILED TO LOCK). *JB

DT: WHEN DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE DIES. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. O2 SENSOR, CATALYTIC CONVERTER (2), AND FUEL PUMP WERE REPLACED, BUT THE CAR STILL DOES THE SAME THING. THE MANUFACTURE IS SUPPOSE TO CALL THE CONSUMER ON MONDAY. THE CAR STALLS OUT EVERYDAY, AND IT'S ALWAYS GOING SLOW WHEN IT HAPPENS.*AK

VEHICLE LOST SPEED FROM 65 MPH TO 20 MPH , AND ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD SHUT DOWN, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. VEHICLE THEN WENT TO 0 AFTER ABOUT 20 SECS. ALL GAUGES WENT DEAD. BATTERY LIGHT BRAKE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON. INTERMITTENTLY PRIOR TO THIS OTHER ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES WOULD BEGIN TO MALFUNCTION HEAT/AIR BLOWERS, WIPERS, LIGHTS DIMMING, ETC. ALTERNATOR CHECKS GOOD, BATTERY REPLACED. RUNS FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN DOES IT AGAIN. MALFUCTION IS NOT LIMITED TO HIGH SPEED TO LOW. HAS HAPPENED AT VARYING SPEEDS.*AK
