I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. GOT. REARENDED I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY. BROKEN SPINE. CAR WAS DESTROYED ONLY THING LEFT WAS WERE I WAS SITTING. AND THE PASSENGER SEAT. NOW NISSAN MURANO 2005 HAS FAULTY AIRBAG TOO. LIGHT ON AND FLASHING. VEHICLE. RENDERED UNSAFE TO OPERATE VEHICLE. NISSAN HAS ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR AIRBAGS AND WONT HELP CONSUMERS FIX THE PROBLEMS. *TR

WENT OUT FOR DINNER AND NOTICED NOTHING UNUSUAL. ON THE WAY HOME, "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH. THEN, 200 YARDS FROM HOME, "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND ENGINE ROUGHNESS INCREASED TO SHAKING. CODES READ: "KNOCK" AND "CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE". IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON ONE OF THE BRIDGES THAT WE FREQUENTLY USE, MY WIFE AND I BOTH WOULD PROBABLY BE SEVERELY INJURED, IF NOT DEAD! THE ONSET WAS RAPID! GUESS I WAS NOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO ESCAPE THIS MUCH-STONEWALLED NISSAN MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT ONLY FROM THE MULTITUDE OF ONLINE INFORMATION. UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME, IT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED TO CHECK INTO IT, WITH NO COMMUNICATION FROM NISSAN. MAINTENANCE AND ALL FLUIDS ARE UP-TO-SNUFF. *TR

GAUGES SHUT OFF, FREEZE, AND ADVANCE WHILE IN MOTION, CONFUSING THE DRIVERS. CAUSING UNKNOWN SPEED, GAS, TEMPERATURE, AND OTHERS METERING. THIS IS HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. SOMETIME WORK FINE. MOST OF THE TIME GAGES ARE DOWN.

I JUST BOUGHT A 200 NISSAN ALTIMA. I WAS DRIVING TO HILTON HEAD AND 2 HOURS INTO THE TRIP THE CRUISE CONTROL WENT OFF AND THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. I KEPT GIVING IT GAS AND IT JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WE GOT HIT FROM BEHIND AND SPUN AROUND. I BROKE MY NOSE AND MY GIRLFRIEND BROKE HER HIP IN 3 PLACES.

WHILE GOING 75MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE GAUGES (RPM, MPH, FUEL, ENGINE TEMP) DROPPED DOWN TO ZERO. ONLY THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHTS REMAINED ON. ALL WHILE A COMBINATION OF #'S AND LETTERS CAME UP ON THE ODOMETER (EVEN THE ODOMETER WENT BLANK). IT WAS A SHOCK AND I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT TO THIS. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL VIA THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL, AS SOON AS I DID IT THIS CAUSED ALL THE GAUGES TO COME BACK TO LIFE INCLUDING THE ODOMETER. VERY WEIRD ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD GOES OUT COMPLETELY. YOU CAN NOT TELL HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING OR WHAT THE RPM IS OR ANYTHING, INCLUDING THE GAS GAUGE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SOMETIMES THE CAR BEGINS TO LOSE POWER AS IF THE GAS PEDAL ISN'T WORKING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT COMES BACK AND YOU GET PROPELLED FORWARD. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY AND I'M AFRAID THAT I AM GOING TO GET A SPEEDING TICKET ONE DAY BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING WHEN THE DASHBOARD GOES DEAD AND EVEN WORSE I'M AFRAID I'M EITHER GOING TO LOSE SPEED AND GET REAR-ENDED OR GAIN SPEED AND BE PROPELLED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS, AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL VEHICLE. IN ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE FOUND ONLINE, THEY ALL GO TO THE MECHANICS AND THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VEHICLE DEFECT AND THE ELECTRICAL UNIT ON THE DASHBOARD NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. ALSO, THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO TURN ON AND GIVES A MISREAD WHEN YOU TAKE IT IN TO BE DIAGNOSED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE PURCHASED TWO SETS AND RECEIVED ONE FREE SET OF COOPER LIFELINER TOURING SLE TIRES IN APRIL OF 2004. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHY THE TREAD ON THE TIRES HAS WORN SO QUICKLY AND UNEVENLY. THE SECOND SET OF TIRES WAS REPLACED ON JUNE 12, 2006 AND THE THIRD SET WAS REPLACED ON JANUARY 2, 2007. THE SECOND SET OF TIRES, WHICH WERE RECEIVED FOR FREE, WAS REPLACED AT LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 130,300. EQ-10204089-4200 ,12/19/07. THE CONSUMER STATED PURCHASED 4 TIRES ON 12/08/04, 06/12/06, AND 12/18/06. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

I PURCHASED 4 SIGMA REGENT 9M TIRES FROM TIRE KINGDOM IN 2003. THEY ONLY HAD 25,000 ON THEM AND 2 OF THEM BLEW OUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. IT WASN'T A NORMAL BLOWOUT, AS 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS ATTESTED. THE TIRE HAD WIRES COMING OUT EVERYWHERE. I CALLED TIRE KINGDOM AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE TIRES (MY DAUGHTER HAD THE MECHANICS DISPOSE OF THEM AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER) THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SOMEONE AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE IT COULD OF CAUSED AN INJURY. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG STRUCK HER IN THE FACE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CURB AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR FLICKERED ON AND OFF PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HER HOME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES AFTER I STARTED THE CAR AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I REALIZED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. I LATER HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND LEARNED THAT THE BRACKET ON THE STRUT ASSEMBLY THAT SECURES THE BRAKE HOSE SEPARATED FROM THE STRUT WHEN THE SPOT WELDS FAILED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE UNSECURED BRAKE HOSE WAS PUNCTURED BECAUSE OF CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS. *TR

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND HIT A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER SUSTAINED HEAD AND BACK INJURIES AND WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE IS FAILING TO GO UP ONCE IT GOES DOWN. HAVE TO WORK THE SWITCH NUMBER OF TIME TO GET THE WINDOW BACK UP. HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THE WINDOW DOWN AT TIMES UNTIL I TRIED TO GET IT TO COME UP LATER. NOTHING HAVE BEEN DONE AT PRESENT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON 18 JUL 2004 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A CRASH AND THE GLASS BLEW DOWN INTO THE SHADE PROTECTOR. *JB

2000 NISSAN ALTIMA BOUGHT NEW AND FAITHFULLY MAINTAINED AT DEALERSHIP (TRI-CITY NISSAN TALLMADGE OHIO) HAS TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT ONLY 50,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP OFFERS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS UNHEARD OF PROBLEM. NISSAN HEADQUARTERS TELLS ME THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF REPAIR B/C IT IS UNHEARD OF. I WAIT (WITHOUT A CAR) FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEN HEADQUARTERS SAYS THEY WILL NOT REPAIR. WHEN I GET REPAIR (OVER $3K) THE SHOP SAYS DEFECTIVE GEAR AND I NOW HAVE THE PART. IF SOMEONE CAN'T HELP ME WITH THIS I AM GOING TO SUE NISSAN WITH PUNITIVE. *TR

WHEN AT A STOP ENGINE REVVED AT A HIGH RATE. CONSUMER SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, THEN TO DRIVE TO STOP VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE CAR FRONT END HAS BEEN MAKING STRANGE NOISES, I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER ON MAY 15,2012 FOR OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION. THE DEALER FOUND OUT THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE LEFT FRONT STRUT TOWER IS SEPARATING FROM THE CAR. I WAS VERY SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE THE CAR DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCIDENT OR HIT. I MADE AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR RECALLS, I FOUND THAT ALL THE MODELS OF 1995 TILL 1999 HAVE RECALLS REGARDING THE FRONT STRUT. I NOTICED THAT THE STRUT TOWER ON RIGHT SIDE STARTED CRACKING AND RUSTING TOO. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIX IT AND I HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR TO A BODY SHOP TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. P.S. I HAVE MADE A REPORT BY PHONE AND THE REFERENCE # [XXX].

CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. FUEL PUMP ISSUES

THE FUEL LEVEL IS NOT ACCURATE. IT FIRST STARTED DOING THIS TELLING ME I HAD A 1/4 TANK LEFT, WHEN I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSTATE. I THEN PUT GAS IN IT AND SURE ENOUGH THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR NEVER GIVES ACCURATE READINGS, I CAN FILL ALL THE WAY UP AND IT WILL ONLY SHOW THAT IT IS 3/4 FULL OR SUCH BUT NEVER IS PRECISE. THIS CAN BE A VERY BIG ISSUE FOR SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A GAS STATION NEARBY LIKE IT HAPPENED TO ME. *TR

TRAVELING W/ FLOW OF TRAFFIC WHEN TURN HEAD FOR SPLIT SECOND NOT REALIZING THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME STALLED, SO SHE HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS OR FLASHERS, NEVERTHELESS I SLAMMED INTO THE THAT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT WRAPPED MYSELF AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL AND MY HEAD FLEW OVER THE STEERING WHEEL AND BACK UNTO THE SEAT. BUT NEVER DID THE AIRBAG DEPLOY TO HOLD ME IN PLACE. MY INJURIES WHERE SHORTNESS OF BREATH, SINCE MY CHEST AND NECK WERE BRUISED. MY ARMS WERE DIFFICULT TO MOVE. MY HEAD WAS POUNDING ALONG WITH MY JAWS IN PAIN. *TR

ON 3/5/2012, I HAD A VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION. EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE FRONT END WAS NOTED. I TOOK MY CAR TO MONRO MUFFLER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON A LIFT AND THE UNDERSIDE INSPECTED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS SO BADLY CORRODED BY RUST THAT THE FRAME HAD PERFORATED AND BROKEN AWAY FROM THE SUSPENSION. THERE ARE HOLES THROUGHOUT AS WELL AS BREAKAGE AND WEAKENING. MONRO MUFFLER RECOMMENDED I CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHICH I DID. I EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO NISSAN STATING THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE. I WAS DIRECTED BY NISSAN TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS WHICH I DID. NISSAN OF DARTMOUTH, MA CONFIRMED MONRO MUFFLER'S DIAGNOSIS AND QUOTED A MINIMUM $2,300 TO REPAIR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAMES. BEVERLY BANSEK OF NISSAN CALLED ME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT NISSAN WOULD DO NOTHING FOR THE REPAIR. I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR AND I WAS THEN CONTACTED BY THE REGIONAL SUPERVISOR OF NISSAN, VAUGHN FRANCIS WHO, AFTER REVIEWING MY CLAIM AGAIN, STATED THAT NISSAN WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME AND THAT THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE SUBFRAMES WAS DUE TO A LACK OF OWNER MAINTENANCE RATHER THAN A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP. VAUGHN FRANCIS THEN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED FOR ME TO CALL NISSAN AGAIN AS I WOULD ONLY GET HIM AND THE ANSWER WOULD BE THE SAME AND THAT MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO CONTACT THE BBB AUTOLINE DISPUTE RESOLUTION DIVISION AT 1-800-955-5100 WHICH I HAVE DONE. TWO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS STATE THERE IS NO OWNER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDED ON THE SUBFRAMES OF NISSAN'S VEHICLES. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE FAILURE OF THE SUBFRAMES IS DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION OF THE SUBFRAME WHICH HAS LEAD TO PERFORATION POSSIBLY FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND BECAUSE THIS IS AN ISSUE OF WORKMANSHIP, NISSAN SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR A POSSIBLE SAFETY RELATED DEFECT RESULTING FROM INADEQUATE MANUFACTURER'S CORROSIVE RESISTANT PROTECTION AND/OR SUBFRAME DESIGN.

WHILE DRIVING, CONSUMER HEARD A NOISE AND FOUND IT WAS A TIRE BLOWOUT, VEHICLE WENT TO THE RIGHT, AND THEN HIT A DRAINAGE SYSTEM CAUSING DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, CONSUMER HAD JUST REPLACED THE TIRES AND IS WONDERING IF THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE RIM, FIRESTONE AFFINITY, P205/55R16, CLAIM 32-V323-692. *SLC

I PARKED MY CAR AT MY HOME ON 5/6/16. ON 5/7/16 I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING AND IT WOULD NOT START. I GOT A JUMP START, REPLACED TO FOB BATTERY, REPLACE THE CAR BATTERY, HAD A LOCKSMITH TO TEST THE FOB. TO NO AVAIL, SO I RESEARCH MY VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A RECALL, BUT SINCE HAS EXPIRED. I PURCHASE MY CAR 9/2013. AS I WAS RESEARCHING A NOTICE THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHER 84,000 THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. I HAD MY CAR TOLD TO A NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $1,050. TO REPAIR IT. IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN THAT THEY STOCK THE PART. I HAVE READ 364 COMPLAINTS ASKING FOR NISSAN TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOT FAIR TO US AS CONSUMER TO HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING IN HUNDREDS OF VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR 6 DAYS NOW AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO RESEARCH AND WILL NOTIFY ME BY 5/13/16 WHICH WILL BE 8 DAYS. I CAN'T AFFORD A $1,000 TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NO MY FAULT. I HAVE OWN A NISSAN MAXIMA AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM, BUT SINCE THIS EVENT. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE. THIS IS FROM COMPLAINTS.COM WEBSITE: THEIR CARS. READ MORE 8.6 PRETTY BAD TYPICAL REPAIR COST: $935.00 AVERAGE MILEAGE: 84,085 MILES TOTAL COMPLAINTS: 323 COMPLAINTS PLEASE HELP ME IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM.

I STARTED TO BRAKE MY VEHICLE WELL BEFORE A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC, I WAS BRAKING FIRMLY BUT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THE RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, MY VEHICLE KEPT BUMPING A BMW IN FRONT OF ME. I BEGAN HONKING MY HORN FOR THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT SHE DID NOT. WITH MY FOOT CONSTANTLY ON THE BRAKE, I PUT MY VEHICLE INTO PARK. WHEN I DID THAT, IT ACCELERATED MORE. A MAN IN A TRUCK IN THE NEXT LANE SAW THAT I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY BRAKING, SO HE SHOUTED TAHT I SHOULD TURN OFF MY IGNITION. I DID. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED. THE DRIVER OF THE BMW APPROACHED MY CAR ASKING WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE MAN IN THE TRUCK VERIFIED TO HER THAT I WAS BRAKING, BUT COULDN'T STOP MY VEHICLE FROM BUMPING HER. WE EXCHANGED INFORMATION. I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO MY SERVICE MECHANIC NEARBY. HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND A DTS WAS ALSO CALLED TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. THE ALSO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, BUT THEY DID FIX MY AIR CONDITIONER. IT WAS LEAKING INSIDE THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE RUG WAS COMPLETELY SOAKED. THE ALSO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED (DELIVERED BY DEALERSHIP) IN FRONT OF MY HOME BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ABOUT THESE EPISODES CALLED "SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION". I ALSO SEE THAT YOU HAVE COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MINE THAT SUGGEST THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS IN OTHER ALTIMA'S, AS WELL AS OTHER MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES. HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. I REFUSE TO BECOME A FATALITY STATISTIC BY TAKING THE CHANCE OF DRIVING MY CAR AND HAVING THIS UNPREDICTABLE EVENT OCCUR AGAIN. NOR DO I WANT TO HURT ANYONE ELSE. I WANT NISSAN TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE OTHER INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET IN RELATION TO "SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION". I AM QUIT CONCERNED THAT THE NHTSA IS NOT INVESTIGATING THESE COMPLAINTS.*AK

RECEIVED BURNS WHEN DASHBOARD BURST IN TO FLAMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE.*AK
