On 5/17/21 I had just left Walmart in Abington on my way to pickup my glasses. After picking up my glasses i felt wobble in the driver's side rear tire. I pulled over on Pine St. and checked the lug nuts on each wheel. Everything seemed okay. I then noticed a traction sign on the dashboard. I put on my hazard lights and drove home approximately a mile or two. When I got home I backed the car up and when I got out I notices the rear wheel drivers side bending inward at the top. I had Westgate Towing tow it after approved by AAA to Bourne's Auto for repair where i had bought the car and purchased a repair/warranty contract. Nothing was covered. No rental for a week. Paid almost $911.47 for the repair. Worried it could happen on other side. Diagnosis: Left Rear Lower Control Arm & Lateral Arm and Alignment needed.

THE DOUBLE SAFETY FEATURE OF PRESSING THE BREAK TO START THE CAR BECOMES VOID WHEN THE CALIPER HAS AN ISSUE EVEN WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHT ENGAGING TO SHOW AN ISSUE. THE CAR IS TRICKED INTO THINKING THAT THE BREAK IS BEING PRESSED AND WILL ALLOW YOU TO START IT WITH JUST PRESSING THE START BUTTON. MY 8YR OLD WAS IN THE CAR PLAYING WHILE I WAS CLEANING IT AND WAS ALSO ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR DUE TO THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM READING THAT THE BREAK WAS ENGAGED. THE CAR ALSO CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER THE KEY IS REMOVED AND YOU CAN DRIVE OFF WITH NO KEY IN THE CAR. I

MY ENGINE IS MAKING A RADDLING NOISE EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE THEN GOES INTO AN EVEN WORSE NOISE LIKE THERE'S SOME SORT OF CRACK IN THE CASING OR A LOOSE BOLT INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE BREAKS SQUEAK EVERY TIME I GO INTO A STOP MOTION. I'VE MADE A APPOINTMENT BEFORE WITH CARMAX BEFORE AND THEY'VE SPENT 5 HOURS IN WHICH NONE OF THE INITIAL ISSUES THAT I DROVE TO AUSTIN FOR. AND SINCE THAT APPOINTMENT NO ONE HAS ANSWERED MY CALLS TO SET UP ANOTHER AND THE TWO MAJOR ISSUES ARE JUST GETTING WORSE.

TWO COMPLAINTS: ONE: THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY AND RANDOMLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THE PLUG UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS LOOSE. THEY "FIXED IT". THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND IS CURRENTLY DOING IT AGAIN, BUT IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF MILEAGE AND THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN, YET HAS REOCCURRED REGULARLY SINCE NEW. TWO: WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NEAR A COMPLETE STOP, THE PEDAL BECOMES "SOFT" FOR ABOUT A HALF SECOND, THE CAR STOPS DECELERATING FOR THAT HALF SECOND THEN CONTINUES TO STOP NORMALLY, THEREAFTER. EACH TIME I MENTION THIS AT A SERVICE INTERVAL AT THE DEALER, THEY SAY THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. NOTHING IS NOTED ON MY INVOICE AND NOTHING IS MENTIONED WHEN THE CAR IS PICKED UP. IT IS UNSETTLING AND IT CAUSES THE CAR TO STOP SEVERAL FEET FURTHER THAN IF THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA MY WIFE HAD PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND "PUSHED" THE STOP ENGINE BUTTON WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS OUT INTO THE STREET INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! THIS CARS GEAR SHIFT "DOES NOT" HAVE TO BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO "PUSH" THE BUTTON THAT STOPS THE ENGINE IT CAN BE IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND THE CAR WILL START ROLLING IF IT IS ON A HILL!. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WITH-OUT THE ENGINE RUNNING YOU LOSE ALL YOUR POWER STEERING AND BRAKES! IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HILL OR STEEP MOUNTAIN GRADE THE CAR COULD ROLL OVER A CLIFF OR OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION MANY TIMES AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD "THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED" PLEASE HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE IS KILLED!

I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF YOU APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT DOES NOT CUT OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ON TRIPS UP AND DOWN I-95 IN A CAR WITH A HAND EMERGENCY BRAKE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS KNEE OPERATIONS AND ON LONG TRIPS I TRIED TO JUST PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WHILE HOLDING THE BUTTON IN. I DID THIS BECAUSE OF TROUBLE WITH MY KNEES. I NOTICED THAT ALTHOUGH THE CAR DID SLOW ENOUGH FOR WHAT I NEEDED THE CRUISE WAS STILL ON WHEN I TOOK THE BRAKE OFF. I REALIZED THAT IF SOMEONE TRIED THIS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THAT THE ENGINE WOULD TRY TO ACCEL AND ALL SORTS OF BAD THINGS WOULD HAPPEN. I TRIED THIS IN EVERY MAKE CAR THAT MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE. NO ONE CUTS OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL UNDER THIS SITUATION. I KNOW THE CARS SYSTEMS KNOW THE BRAKE IS BEING APPLIED BECAUSE THE LIKE COMES UP ON THE DASH. IT WOULD BE 1 SIMPLE PROGRAM CHANGE TO INCLUDE THE CUT OUT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN IMPORTANT ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE STEPS TO REMEDY THIS. I HAVE EMAILED THIS TO NUMEROUS AUTO MAKERS. THANK YOU, I HAVE A CONFIRMATION (ODI)#10585659 NHTSA AND CASE#[XXX] NHTSA WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO GET THIS LOOKED AT? I REGISTERED A COMPLAINT ON 4-1-2014 AND SENT A LETTER TO THEM.
