WHILE I WAS AT WORK AND DONE WITH MY SHIFT I WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND PRESS THE BREAK AND PUSH THE PUSH START BUTTON IT DID NOT START IT TURNS OUT THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING CONTROL LOCK IS DEFECTIVE I COULD'VE BEEN HURT OR KILLED OR PUT IT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF I HAD NO ONE AROUND ME TO HELP ME OUT. MY LIFE WAS PUT AT RISK WITH A CAR THAT WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND IT HAPPENED IN A RULE AREA OF CALIFORNIA WHICH IS THE SEARNE VALLEY WHICH IS ALMOST ALL DESERT. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE VALLEYHIGH NISSAN IN VICTORVILLE CALIFORNIA AND THEY ARE QUOTING ME $947 TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED.

1) WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN THE SAME PLACE AS SEVERAL OTHER 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL CARS. 2) 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL NAVIGATION FREEZING UP. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. LIGHTS ON SYSTEM ARE FLICKERING ON AND OFF. CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NO FIX. 3) 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL BACK AND TOP SPEAKERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. 4) 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SL PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER A RECALL WAS COMPLETED. IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER INFORMATION, EMAIL ME.

NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THEIR FAULTY ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK UNIT THAT IS NEEDED TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON. IF IT DOES NOT LOCK THE WHEEL IN PLACE IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE PUSH START IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE, THUS LEAVING THEIR OCCUPANTS STRANDED WITH NO OPTION OTHER THAN TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLES TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND FORCED TO PAY UPWARDS OF $1200 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A DEFECTIVE FACTORY PART. THEY OFFERED A EXTENDED WARRANTY TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, BUT NEGLECTED TO INFORM CONSUMERS OF THIS. THEY ARE CLEARLY TRYING TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR THEIR MISTAKES AND ARE PASSING THE COST ON TO THEIR UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER.

I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I PURCHASED AS A PRE OWNED IN 2012. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR OIL CHANGES AND REPAIRS ON MANY OCCASIONS. AT NO TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS GETTING SERVICED WAS I INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK SENSOR AND THE CAR WOULD OT START AND BECAUSE OF THAT NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO COVER THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE PART, EARLIER THIS WEEK MY CAR WOULD NOT START AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 35 MILES TO MY MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A STEERING LOCK SENSOR FAILURE. THE COST TO REPAIR THE CAR WAS 725.00. I CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH THE PROBLEM AND FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES ON LINE CONCERNING THE PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. AGAIN, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED IN PERSON WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING SERVICED OR BY MAIL BY THE DEALER OR NISSAN. BASED ON MY RESEARCH I BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER OR NISSAN HAD THE OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. AT THE TIME THAT THE SENSOR FAILED I WAS APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES FROM HOME AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. AT TIMES I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MORE SERIOUS SITUATION IF THEY WERE WITH ME.
