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 H

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TEMPERATURE WAS ALMOST AT MAX. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH AND SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT AND THERE WAS NO COOLANT. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE OVER HEATED CAUSING THE ENGINE BLOCK TO CRACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

MY 2000 NISSAN ALTIMA IDLES ROUGH AND THE ENGINE SHAKES. MY MECHANIC RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID CYLINDER 4 WAS MISFIRING AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT IT WAS TO CHANGE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. THE PRICE: $1500. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE I SEE THE SAME COMPLAINTS FROM 98-01 ALTIMA OWNERS. THE MECHANIC, SAID THIS WAS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. HE ALSO SAID CHANGING THE GASKET WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. WHY ISN'T NISSAN FORCED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE? SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO THEIR JOB AND LOOK AT THIS ISSUE. *TR

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].
