1988 Nissan Diesel CLA83 Other / unspecified Problems

I OWN A 2004 ALTIMA WITH 97,000 MILES. CAR VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OF 60 AND GREATER. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT SATISFACTION. THIS VIBRATION WAS DUE TO INFERIOR ROTORS. AFTER I REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH ANOTHER NON-NISSAN BRAND AT 50,000 MILES, THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. ALL THIS FRUSTRATION WAS DUE TO THE POOR QUALITY OF NISSAN ROTORS. I WENT TO THE WEBSITE TIRERACK.COM AND BOUGHT BETTER QUALITY ROTORS. *TR

MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I NOTIFIED NISSAN, THEY TOWED MY CAR IN. MY CAR HAD SEVERAL RECALLS. NISSAN CHECKED MY CAR AND RESET MY ECM. WHEN I WENT TO GET MY CAR FROM MITCHELL NISSAN WHICH IS 30 MILES AWAY. THEY TOLD US THAT I HAD A POSSIBLE HEAD OR COIL FAILURE. WHEN WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WE DIDN'T CHECK THE OIL CAUSE WHEN THEY REPROGRAMMED THEY SUPPOSE TO HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING. WHEN MY HUSBAND CHECKED THAT'S WHEN WE FOUND OUT IT WAS NO OIL. I DROVE MY CAR 30 MILES WITH NO OIL. MY CAR IS A 2002 ALTIMA I CHECKED THE RECALLS AND SAW THAT THE 2.5 2006 ALTIMAS HAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE AS WELL AS THE SENSOR LIKE THE EARLIER YEARS. THE RECALLS STATES SOMETHING ABOUT THE ECM AND ABOUT THE PISTONS AND DRIVING WITHOUT OIL. NOW I HAVE TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED AND NISSAN IS SAYING IT IS NOT ON THEM. MY CAR WAS NOT ACTING UP NOR SMOKING UNTIL IT CUT OFF AND HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED. I FEEL THIS MESSED UP MY ENGINE. *TR

NISSAN MURANO 2003 HAS PROBLEM WITH PRESSURE SENSOR INSIDE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE, 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE YOU CAN ACCELERATE. THIS ONLY STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO AND I HAVE 89K MILES ON IT. I ALMOST WAS STUCK BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE DUE TO THE HESITATION. THERE ARE MANY MORE STORIES LIKE MINE ON EDMUNDS.COM. NISSAN DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT CLEARLY STATES THAT THE DEFECT WAS CORRECTED IN THE LATER MODELS. BIG SAFETY ISSUE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

I OWN A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT SEEMED GREAT WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND NOW AFTER 5 YEARS IT IS CRAP AND THE THING WONT RUN. THE CAR IDLES ROUGH WHEN IT FIRST STARTS IF IT STARTS AT ALL, THERE IS A WATER RUSHING SOUND UNDER THE DASH, AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I AM CONSTANTLY REFILLING THE RADIATOR WITH COOLANT AND ADDING SO MUCH OIL TO MY CAR IT IS CRAZY. MY FATHER-IN-LAW WHICH IS A MECHANIC, TOLD ME THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS DETERIORATING INTO THE #4 CYLINDER WHICH IS CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE WHICH IS ALSO WHERE THE OIL AND COOLANT AND GAS ARE GOING. THE EASIEST FIX IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE, WHICH IS A $6,300 FIX. I JUST FINISHED PAYING OFF MY CAR IN MAY AND 3 MONTHS LATER MY CAR START HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS. I CANT AFFORD TO FIX THIS AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO, CATALYTIC CONVERTER DON'T JUST DETERIORATE. HECK I AM THE ONLY OWNER TO MY CAR AND IT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. THIS IS CRAZY. I HAVE NOW REPLACED MY ENGINE AT MY OWN COST, BECAUSE THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR AT CLAIMS THEY ARE NOT BE ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING AND TO CALL NISSAN, WHICH I DID AND NISSAN DOES CARE. WELL AFTER SPENDING SIX GRAND ON FIXING MY CAR, MY MACHINE HAS INFORMED ME THIS IS ALL DUE TO PLUGGED PCV VALVE BECAUSE THE TWO INLACE HOLES FOR THIS VALVE ARE SO SMALL THEY GET CLOGGED SO EASILY AND THE DISCHARGE FOR THE PCV VALVE BECOMES IN INTAKE AND TO TO THE SIZE OF THE DISCHARGES THE OILED IS GETTING PULLING INTO THE ENGINE AND WELL AS OTHER FLUIDS WHICH IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE AND DESTROYING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I AM GIVING YOU THE DATE MY CAR FINALLY DIED. IT TOOK ME OVER A MONTH AND A 1/2 TO GET THIS FIXED AND IT IS STILL FAR FROM BEING FIXED. PLEASE ALSO CHECK OUT THIS WEBSITE FOR THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN DEALER THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

THIS IS MY 2ND NISSAN TITAN IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS! I TRADED IN A 2005 WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES BECAUSE OF 3 FULL TIRE SET REPLACEMENTS AND NEW BRAKES AT 6,000 MILES AND PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER STATED ARE CURRENTLY FIXED IN THE NEW 2007 MODELS. MY NEW 2007 AT 1200 MILES DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE RIMS WITH A NEW SET OF DEFECTIVE RIMS THAT ARE A AFTER MARKET PLASTIC HUBCAP GLUED TO THE STEEL RIM WHICH IS CLICKING AND POPPING WHILE IN MOTION AND AFTER 15 MINUTES DRIVING WHEN I PARK THEY STILL POP AND CLICK UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY COOL DOWN WHICH IS ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. I ALSO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GO DOWN BY ITSELF AND STOP EXACTLY AT 3 INCHES AFTER I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT, MY AC DOES NOT COOL AT ALL AND OFTEN DOES NOT COME ON EVEN WHEN MY GPS SCREEN SAYS IT IS SET ON HIGH AND RUNNING I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF TRUCK THEN RESTART TRUCK TO GET AC TO COME ON. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TSB ON IT THAT I GAVE THEM! DEALER SAID WINDOW PROBLEM IS DUE TO GEORGIA HEAT, IT IS DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO BUT MY OTHER 3 WINDOWS DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! MY RIMS THEY STATED THAT THEY WANT TO PUT MORE GLUE A TSB TECH TO FIX THE PROBLEM! THAT IS NOT A REPAIR THAT IS A BAND AID THAT WILL NOT HOLD WITH THE HEAT TIRES PUT OFF! AS OF NOW I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANY NISSAN EVER AGAIN AND I WILL BE BUYING NEW RIMS FOR MY TRUCK AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS NOT HELPED AT ALL WHAT SO EVER ONLY TELL ME TO DO THE TSB GLUE REPAIR AND EVEN THOUGH I PAID 1800.00 EXTRA FOR CHROME RIM PACKAGE THEY WILL NOT REFUND OR PURCHASE NEW RIMS AT ALL SO I AM ON MY OWN. *TR

SINCE LEASE OF VEHICLE IN JULY 2005, MANY PROBLEMS. MOST RECENT IS LACK OF ACCELERATION AT RANDOM TIMES. VEHICLE WAS FIXED AND IN LESS THAT A WEEK OF IT RETURNED TO ME, PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. I DO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING THAT THE CAR WILL CEASE TO ACCELERATE. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN OR OTHERS CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I AM AFRAID FOR MY CHILDREN'S LIVES AS WELL AS MY OWN WHEN I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED A NEW ENGINE WHEN IT WAS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A YEAR OLD, IT HAS HAD MANY OTHER THINGS WRONG WITH IT, HOWEVER THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY. *TR

1998 MERCURY VILLAGER PURCHASED USED IN 2003. IDLE THROTTLE BODY FAILED IN 2006, MERCURY DEALER TOOK TWO WEEKS TO FIND THE PART AND REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. IDLE THROTTLE BODY FAILED AGAIN IN EARLY 2007. DEALER TOOK TWO WEEKS AGAIN TO FIND PART AND DID NOT CHARGE ME BUT I HAD TO RENT A CAR AT MY EXPENSE. TODAY 9/30/07 THE SAME SYMPTOM OF THE CAR ACCELERATING TO 1500 RPM INTERMITTENTLY WHILE SITTING STOPPED AT A LIGHT HAS BEGUN AGAIN INSTEAD OF CONSTANT 800 RPM WHEN THIS PART IS WORKING CORRECTLY. I WILL HAVE TO WAIT ON THE DEALER TO FIND A PART AND REPAIR IT AGAIN AT MY INCONVENIENCE AND EXPENSE. HAVE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ENGINE EXPERIENCED THE SAME REPEATED SAFETY AND WASTE OF FUEL ISSUE? *TR

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WEREN'T WORKING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ZIMBRICK NISSAN IN MADISON, WI. THEY FOUND THAT THE SPLINES WERE STRIPPED OFF THE WIPER ARMS. RATHER THAN REPLACING THE ARMS WITH NEW ONES, THEY GLUED THE NONFUNCTIONAL ARMS BACK ON THE VEHICLE WITH LOCKTITE AND STATED IN WRITING THAT EVERYTHING WAS NOW WORKING FINE.. THESE DAMAGED ARMS COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME AND IF THE DRIVER COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO LOSS OF VISION. IF THE DRIVER IS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND/OR AT HIGH SPEED ON A HIGHWAY THERE COULD BE AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN LOSS OF LIFE. I COMPLAINED TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS, BUT THE PERSON, WHO IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS A CUSTOMER SERVICE WORKER, SAID THAT THE DEALER HAD A FREE HAND TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE REUSE OF A DAMAGED PART ON AN IMPORTANT SYSTEM OF THE VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND THEY SAID THAT WAS THE DEALERS DISCRETION ALSO. I DON'T THINK THAT AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PUT DAMAGED PARTS ON VEHICLES THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND RUN VERY ROUGH. NOT LONG AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT JUST SHUT OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. AAA TOWED THE CAR TO CERRITOS NISSAN. THE NEXT DAY THEY LOOKED IT OVER AND SAID IT WAS A CHAMBER AND A MASS AIR FILTER AND INJECTOR A. THEY GAVE US THE TOTAL OF $1384. WE HAD NO CHOICE I NEEDED MY CAR, SO WE TOLD THEM TO FIX IT. WHEN WE WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP,WE PAID OUR BILL, I DROVE OFF AND IT STARTED DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE HEAD OF SERVICE WAS THERE. MY HUSBAND TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM BUT HE WAS NOT UNDERSTANDING. MY HUSBAND ASK IF HE WOULD GO ON A TEST DRIVE WITH HIM. MY HUSBAND ASKED HIM TO DRIVE. WHEN THEY CAME BACK, MY HUSBAND SAID NOT ONLY WAS IT DOING THE SAME THING BUT IT CUT OFF ON THEM AS WELL. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD WRITE A NOTE ABOUT WHAT IT WAS STILL DOING. WE HAD JUST BEGRUDGINGLY FORKED OUT NEARLY $1400 AND THE CAR WAS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING. WE WERE UPSET AND WANTED TO KNOW WHAT DID THEY FIX? HE ASSURED US THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT. HE ASKED US WHAT WE WANTED HIM TO DO. MY HUSBAND SAID THAT WE JUST NEEDED A RENTAL. HE AGREED AND SET US UP WITH ONE. FINALLY WE WERE ABLE TO PICK THE CAR UP AND WHILE IT STILL RAN A BIT ROUGH IT DIDN'T JERK AND IT DIDN'T CUT OFF. WE ASK WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE ENGINE 9500 INT AND ENTERPRISE INV D907447 PO 151165. SO WE ASKED WHY WE WERE CHARGED FOR ALL THAT OTHER STUFF. HE SAID CAUSE IT STILL NEEDED IT. AND AT THIS TIME WE ALSO HAD ASKED ABOUT RECALLS. THEY SAID THERE WERE NONE. IRONICALLY IN GOING THROUGH OUR OLD A FEW MONTHS LATER MAIL WE FOUND A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE THAT TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT MY CAR DID. WE NOTIFIED OUR LAWYER AND ASK IF WE SHOULD PROCEED AND HE TOLD US TO FIRST REPORT IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ALTHOUGH I REALLY LIKE MY ALTIMA I HAVE HAD TO MANY PROBLEMS. A YEAR AFTER I GOT IT I HAD TO GET THE ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACED. *JB

THIS VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED , AND THE VEHICLE I HIT WAS ALSO DAMAGED, AND SUSTAINED INJURIES. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR IT, I HAVE STACKS OF SERVICE RECORDS , WHERE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR BRAKE FAILURE SINCE 2004 WHEN I BOUGHT IT NEW. NOW I AM LOOKING AT REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AND THE PERSON I HIT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS GIVING ME PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS KNOWN FOR ITS BRAKE FAILURE. *AK

I DRIVE A 2000 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT CURRENTLY HAS 48000 MILES ON IT. I DEVELOPED AN ENGINE PING AT 45000 MILES AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SEVICE. THEY REPLACED ALL 6 COIL PACKS AND AIR SOMETHING OR OTHER AT A COST OF $1300.00. I HAVE DRIVEN IT 5000 MORE MILES AND I ONCE AGAIN HAVE AN ENGINE PING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME TO WHICH THEY TOLD ME I WAS A QUART LOW ON OIL AND THAT WOULD CAUSE A PING. THEY DID AN OIL & FILTER CHANGE. I WAS PLEASED AS I DROVE AWAY AND HEARD NO ENGINE PING, HOWEVER ABOUT 30 MILES LATER IT CAME BACK. THEIR THEORY OF BEING 1 QUART LOW ON OIL IS NOT CORRECT. I DECIDED TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ON THE NET, AND SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX AND I THINK NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS AS IT SHOULD NOT BE A CONSUMER FIX.

I BROUGHT MY 05 NISSAN SENTRA IN MARCH 2005. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR VISITS, AND EVERY TIME FOR A YEAR EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THEN IN APRIL OF 2006 MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MOSSY NISSAN ON MILE OF CARS IN NATIONAL CITY (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) TWO AND EACH TIME THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT BACK BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE! AND WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT. I WAS PREGNANT ON BED REST AND HAVING TO ARGUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN CORP. THAT REGULAR MAINTENANCE NEVER REVEALED ANY PROBLEMS AND THAT IF THERE WERE PROBLEMS THEY SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THEM. I INFORMED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE TO HONOR THE 60 MONTH WARRANTY THAT I HAD I WOULD JUST SUE THEM. AFTER HAVING MY HUSBAND PARENTS ARGUE WITH THEM BECAUSE THE STRESS DURING MY PREGNANCY WAS JUST TOO MUCH. THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE NEW ENGINE. SO FAR SO GOOD FOR ALMOST ANOTHER YEAR AND NOW THE CAR'S SERVICE ENGINE SOON KEEPS COMING ON THE CAR IS AT THE DEALER TODAY FOR THE 3RD TIME. THE CAR STALLS OUT. THE SERVICE MAN JUST LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY PHONE AND IS NOW SAYING THE REASON FOR THE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR IS OFF?! WHATEVER .. I AM GOING TO GO PICK IT UP .. IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN I AM GOING TO HAVE MY BOSS WHO'S SPOUSE IS A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY GET INVOLVED. *JB

HELLO IN 2006 AUGUST, MY 2005 BRAND NEW ALTIMA'S BATTERY EXPLODED AND IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT ME AND MY FRIEND DID NOT GET HURT. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THE BATTERY. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A THIRD PARTY SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACE MY BATTERY FUSE (WHICH I WAS TOLD CAUSED THE EXPLOSION) AND MY BATTERY. WHEN I WENT OVER THE DEALERSHIP LATER THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD'VE BROUGHT THE CAR OVER THERE. THEY CLAIMED I WAS LYING WHENI SAID I WAS TOLD BY THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY DON'T COVER THE BATTERY AND DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR. NOW, MY FRONT BUMPER IS COVERED IN BATTERY ACID AND IS NOT REPAIRABLE. I CALLED THE CUSTEMR SERVICE DID EVERYTHING I COULD BUT THEY SIMPLY WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I WOULD IF THEY DIDN'T TOLD ME THEY DID NOT COVER THE WARRANTY ON THE PHONE. I HAVE MY RECEIPT OF THE BATTERY FUSE AND BATTERY REPLACEMENTS BUT I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE OLD BATTERY. I'M VERY DISSAPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED BY THIS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'M NOT LOOKING TO GET ANY KIND OF MONEY OUT OF THIS BUT I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW NOT TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY A BATTER EXPLODING TO MY AND MY FRIENDS FACE. THANK YOU. *NM
