2006 Nissan Altima

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH SHE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH WAS INCLUDED IN A 4 CAR PILE-UP. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONTACT AND A PASSENGER RECEIVED ABRASIONS TO THE CHEST AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS AFTER THE CRASH OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING INDICATING THE AIR BAG MAY NOT BE WORKING RIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID $115 TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID THE SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DEALERSHIP NOTED ON MY RECEIPT (RECOMMENDED SERVICE: PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANT SENSOR $1,617.26 OTD). I DECLINED TO REPLACE SENSOR DUE TO THE OUTRAGEOUS COST FOR A FAILED SAFETY FEATURE IN A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. *TR

MY WIFE WAS IN A MVA ON 05/08/09. HER 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS IN A CRASH AT APPROX. 30 MPH. IT HAS $7800.00 PLUS IN DAMAGE. IT WAS A FRONT END CRASH. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SHE WAS THROWN INTO THE WINDSHIELD & HAS SUFFERED A CONCUSSION, DOCTORS SAY MAYBE TBA, BRUISED CHEST, ABDOMEN, FACIAL BRUISING, AND MAJOR KNEE INJURIES. HER SEATBELT ALSO DID NOT HOLD. THE CAR HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING WHERE I WORK. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WENT OVER THE CURB, IT ACCELERATED A SECOND TIME AND SPED BETWEEN TWO TREES, THEN BETWEEN A TREE AND BUILDING AND ENDED UP FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE PARKING SPOT ON THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING. THE CAR BASICALLY DID A FULL "U" FROM THE PARKING SPOT TO THE SIDEWALK. MY FEELING IS THAT I HAD THE WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT TO PARK IN THE PARKING SPOT AND DID NOT HAVE TIME TO STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL SO THE CAR CONTINUED TO GO TO THE RIGHT, HENCE THE "U". THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS WENT OFF. I HAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS EXPERIENCED THE CAR HESITATING WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. THE CAR WOULD HESITATE AND THEN RESUME AT A NORMAL SPEED. ONCE THE CAR RESUMED SPEED, THE CAR SEEMED FINE. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ON/OFF LIGHT KEEPS INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF, WHILE A ADULT PASSENGER OF SUFFICIENT WEIGHT IS SITTING UP RIGHT, WITH FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR AND BACK AGAINST THE BACK OF THE SEAT IS IN THE CHAIR. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE SEAT BOTTOM ONCE BEFORE AND THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO STRAIGHT ANSWER TO HOW MUCH A PERSON HAS TO WEIGH, BUT ALL THREE OF THE ANSWERS HAVE BEEN UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE OCCUPANT. NISSAN NOW SAYS TO GET INTO ANOTHER 2006 ALTIMA, BUT THERE IS NONE AVAILABLE AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHICH THE CAR IS AT RIGHT NOW. CANNOT DRIVE CAR FOR FEAR THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN A FRONTAL ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE REAR SIDE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE FIVE YEAR OLD, WHO WAS SEATED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND WEARING A SEAT BELT, STRUCK THE DOOR PANEL AND SUFFERED BROKEN BONES AROUND THE RIGHT EYE. THE REST OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,000.

I PURCHASE 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM EASTERN CAROLINA NISSAN IN MAY 2006. I HAVE BEEN HEARING A RATTLING NOISE 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. I NOTIFIED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THAT IS WAS SPARK KNOCKING BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THEM TO INQUIRE ON SERVICE REPORT, NOT NOTED. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON/OFF DURING DRIVING. THE DOORS LOCK WHEN KEYS ARE IN AND CAR IS STARTED/OFF. *NM
