2007 Nissan Altima

WHILE WALKING TO THE VEHICLE AN OBJECT WAS SEEN HANGING DOWN FROM BEHIND THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL AREA. AFTER CRAWLING UNDER THE VEHICLE TO INVESTIGATE I POSITIVELY CONFIRMED THE REAR SWAY BAR WAS BROKEN OFF RIGHT AT THE BUSHING. THE DRIVER SIDE END OF THIS BAR IS STILL ATTACHED AT THE LINKAGE RODS, BUT IS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF FROM THE REST OF THE SWAY BAR AT THE LEFT SIDE BUSHING AND BRACKET. PLEASE FORCE NISSAN TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND AT LEAST ISSUE A SERVICE BULLETIN IF THEY ARE TOO STUBBORN TO ISSUE A RECALL. MAKE THEM AGREE IN WRITING TO DUMP THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS INFERIOR HOLLOW PART. JUDGING BY THE NUMEROUS BROKEN 2007 ALTIMA SWAY BAR COMPLAINTS, THERE IS AN APPARENT QUALITY PROBLEM HERE. *TR

THE REAR SWAY BAR BROKE WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. IT PROMPTED ME TO GET ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT AS THOUSANDS OF ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE ATTESTED TO THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SWAY BAR. AND, THEY ALL SEEM TO BREAK IN THE SAME PLACE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL ISSUE? IT'S CERTAINLY DANGEROUS ENOUGH DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH A PIECE OF PIPE HANGING DOWN DRAGGING ON THE ROAD. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS NOT HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD OR EXPECTATION, AND WHY SO MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING TO PAY TO GET A DEFECTIVE ENGINEERED PRODUCT FIXED. COME ON GUYS...DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE WERE DRIVING TO TAMPA AND CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED AND HAD TO GO ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WILL NOT START. HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE CLOSER TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE AND HAD A HOLE IN IT AND COULD NOT FIGURE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE HOLE, IT TOOK TWO WEEKS TO GET THE DIAGNOSIS AND TOLD US WE NEED TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION, WE PAID $5000 FOR IT AND HAD NO CHOICE AS THAT WAS THE ONLY CAR BETWEEN ME AND MY HUSBAND TO GO TO WORK. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND COULD NOT HELP ME EVEN IF I TOLD THEM THERE WERE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CAR. EVEN THE REPAIR GUY TOLD US THAT NISSAN HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS. AFTER 2 MONTHS THERE WERE MORE PROBLEMS, SEEMS EVERY FEW MONTHS SOMETHING IS WRONG AND NOW MY CAR IS SITTING AGAIN IN THE REPAIR SHOP JUST AFTER 2 YRS AND THEY SAID I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION!!!!! THIS IS CRAZY, I WISH I HAD TRADE IN THE CAR BEFORE THIS HAPPENED AS THIS IS A PIECE OF JUNK. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN BEFORE AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET THE WORD OUT NOT TO BUY NISSAN. *TR

I TOOK MY NIECE TO THIS CRAPPY DEALERSHIP TODAY TO GET HER CAR SERVICED BECAUSE SHE HAS A RECALL TO REPLACE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. I SPOKE WITH [XXX] ON FEB 18 AT 0245P TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. WELL WE ARRIVED TODAY AT 0730HRS THIS MORNING. FIRST OFF SERVICE PERSON [XXX] SPOKE WITH HER(NIECE) AND CONVINCED HER SHE NEEDED TO HAVE DIAGNOSTICS RAN ON HER VEHICLE. I CANCELLED THAT IDEA BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAD ESTABLISHED ON THE 18TH THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD(SULEV EMISSIONS ALT 07-08). THAT WAS $110.00 HE WASN'T MAKING.. AFTER WE SAT FOR 2.5 HRS., THIS JOKER RETURNS TO TELL ME THAT IT TOOK HIS MECHANIC 2 HOURS TO FIND A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. MIND YOU WE KNEW ABOUT IT AND THAT'S WHY WE WERE THERE TO BEGIN WITH AND TWO IT WAS A BS LINE HE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY WITH. I SPOKE WITH [XXX] (SHE TOO BRUSHED ME OFF) WHO INFORMED ME TO SPEAK WITH A STAND IN STUPIDVISOR NAMED [XXX]. WELL IT DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER BECAUSE AFTER BEING TOLD BY VICTOR IT WOULD TAKE 4-5 HOURS TO DO BUT ONLY AFTER THEY TOOK CARE OF THE OTHER AFTERNOON CUSTOMERS THAT HAD LATER TIME SLOTS, [XXX] SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO DO IT. NOW IM HEATED AFTER BEING JERKED AROUND ALL [XXX] DAY, YOU'RE TELLING ME ITS NOT GOING TO GET DONE??? I TOLD THE TO BRING MY CAR OUT AND I WANTED PAPERWORK. VICTOR [XXX] ATTEMPTED TRIED COVER HIS [XXX] BY SAYING ON THE PAPERWORK THAT WE DECLINED SERVICED AFTER WE WERE TOLD BY HIM AND THE SUPERVISOR [XXX] THAT IT WASN'T GONNA HAPPEN. TACKY TACKY TACKY... IVE PURCHASED 4 CARS FROM THESE CLOWNS AT THIS DEALERSHIP SINCE 2001. WELL THEY JUST LOST MY BUSINESS AND MY LOYALTY TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WONT SEND ANYONE THERE AGAIN.. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND THEY ARE LIARS. MY MONEY WILL BE WELL SPENT ELSEWHERE. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER, SHE IS FORCED TO OPERATE AND UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH A SIX YEAR OLD SON.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2007 IS MELTING (LITERALLY). I NOTICED A SMALL POND OF GOO LIKE MATERIAL ON MY DASHBOARD. IN LESS THAN A WEEK IT SPREAD OUT LIKE CANCER AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD. THIS POND OF GOO REFLECTS THE SUNLIGHT ON THE WINDSHIELD, CREATING A GLARE THAT BLOCKS MY VIEW AND ENDANGERS MY ABILITY TO DRIVE. NOT TO MENTION THE LOSS OF MY INVESTMENT NOT CAUSED BY IMPROPER USE OF THE VEHICLE (SEE PICTURE) I'VE UNSUCCESSFULLY TRIED TO GET NISSAN TO ASSUME THE REPAIR OF THEIR DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. I'M NOT CLAIMING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR MECHANICAL ITEMS BUT RATHER A REAL LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I'VE TALKED TO ADRIAN (457295), JOHN (457263), JESSICA (57758). I WENT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT IT'LL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE MELTING AND ONLY REPLACING COULD FIX THE ISSUE. TODAY NICK (7583) CALLED ME TO SYMPATHIZE WITH ME BUT HOW UNFORTUNATELY NISSAN CANNOT REPLACE MY MELTING DASHBOARD AND THAT THE ISSUE CANNOT BE ESCALATED ANY FURTHER. IT IS SHAMEFUL TO SEE HOW NHTSA HAS MORE THAN 200 REPORTS OF MELTING DASHBOARD, NISSAN CAN SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN A SUPER BOWL AD #WITH DAD APPEALING TO CUSTOMER LOYALTY BUT NISSAN CANNOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY OF A DEFECTIVE MATERIAL THAT COULDN'T PERFORM IN FLORIDA. ..UPDATED 03-04-15*BF UPDATED 6/17/2015*JS UPDATED 12/09/15.*JB

I WAS DRIVING AND I HEARD A CLUNK THAT DID NOT SEEM TO AFFECT MY DRIVING ABILITY OR STABILITY OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, LATER THAT DAY WHEN I TURNED ON THE CARS HEAT; IT WOULD BLOW BUT ONLY COLD AIR WAS COMING OUT OF THE VENTS REGARDLESS OF THE TEMPERATURE SETTING OR MODE SETTING. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE 2 THERMOSTATS BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM WAS A SUDDEN ONSET AND WAS NOT GRADUAL IN NATURE. MY MECHANIC SPECULATED THAT THE HEATING COIL BECAME CLOGGED BUT TO REPLACE IT THE COST WOULD BE IN EXCESS OF $900. I'D ALSO THINK THE CLOGGED SYSTEM WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MORE GRADUAL DECLINE IN HEATING FUNCTION. *TR
