2002 Nissan Altima

I've owned my 2002 Nissan for about 6 months now the previous owner informed me prior to purchase about issues she was having and the reason she was selling the car, explain to me that her friend who has worked on cars 20+ yrs felt if cause could be found it was repairable but seems luck she had is now the luck I'm having. I have a couple ppl look over the car under hood and run diagnostics but nothing can be found.. I can't afford to junk the car my income budget is tight and doesn't allow much wiggle room to purchase a new ride a friend told me about the NHTSA website so we went exploring entering my VIN number comes back no recalls but looking over the recalls for saying make and model and year of my vehicle there's 12 to 15 recalls on it from headlights which I'm is an issue to engine stalls to catalyst issues but yet I'm told that no because we're done on my vehicle I know I'm not the first owner it's a vehicle that I just purchased but I want to speak to someone that can clarify or help me with finding out if my vehicle is actually supposed to be in recalls of these certain things because they were fitted the descriptions of what can take place fit what I'm experiencing and what the previous owner is experienced perfectly please contact me thank you for your time

first, I started to notice my car would loose power while driving, over a couple months, it started to stall and/or completely shut off while driving at low speeds or at red lights! When this first stared happening, the car would immediately fire back up when cranked, after about a month of this, I noticed, I could not drive at or above 45mph or it would shut down, or drive for more than 15 minutes and it would shut off…AND NOT START AGAIN! It would crank, but not start, I would have to wait 30 minutes or more and then it would start right up! This is dangerous due to the immediate- no- warning shut off, whenever and wherever! I’ve almost caused multi car pile up! Not to mention my kids in the back seat and on the interstate! We could have been slammed into, and pushed down the interstate and over into other lanes! There’s a recall on 2002 Nissan Altimas for THIS VERY ISSUE!!! Somehow, my vehicles VIN # does not qualify! INFACT….. My VIN# NEVER EVER qualifies for ANY recall, but yet, my vehicle has the exact same problems!!

I HAVE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2002 MODEL. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT THE DEALER LOCALLY BUT NO RESULTS. I ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY GAVE ME RUN AROUND SAYING THAT THEY NEEDED THE SOFTWARE WHICH THEY WILL MAKE IT AVAILABLE AND SOON AS IT'S AVAILABLE THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES BUT I GET THE SAME RUN AROUND. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND HALF SINCE I HAD CONTACTED THEM. BUT IT HASN'T BEEN FIXED.

YES, I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT INTERLOCKS, I KNOW THE ARE TO DESIGNED TO SAVE LIVES OF OTHERS, BUT AT RISKING THE LIVES OF THE DRIVERS THAT HAVE THEM, IT IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DOING RETEST, I KNOW A RETEST IS TO ENSURE THAT THE DRIVER OF THE CAR HAS NOT DRANK SINCE DRIVING OR HAD SOMEONE ELSE BLOW TO START THE CAR, BUT IN MY OPINION IT'S HAZARDOUS TO THE DRIVER TO BE PUT IN THIS DANGER OF HAVING TO RETEST EVERY 30MIN, THERE IS A CAMERA PLACED IN THE CAR FOR A REASON, YES I BROKE THE LAW, I UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR MY INTERLOCK, YES I KNOW I CAN PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE FOR RETEST, BUT IN SOME CASES YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR THEM BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE COMING, IT TOOK A CHILD TO POINT OUT THE UNSAFE WAY RETEST ARE. YES, I KNOW I COULD HAVE NOT HAD IT PLACED IN MY CAR, BUT I HAVE TO WORK AND PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY. ANOTHER THING I THINK INTERLOCKS ARE A MONEY GIMMICK FOR THE STATE AND DEALER THAT PUTS THEM IN. I WASN'T COURT ORDERED TO HAVE ONE, THE JUDGE IN MY CASE, SAID I COULD'VE HAD A RESTRICTED LICENSE, BUT THE STATE OF MOTOR VEHICLE SO SAID I HAD TO HAVE ONE TO KEEP DRIVING. WHEN IS THE JUDGES JUDGMENT NOT GOOD ENOUGH? *TR
