On more then one occasion when driving on the freeway for about 45 min. the acceleration speed drops to about 40 mph. and when going on hills its even worse. this has been going on for some time now, but now i have a second altima that is having very similar issues. after sitting on the side of the freeway for a hour, the car returns to normal. this can not be a normal problem, i have searched and found that a number of people have had very similar issues and in fact i received a letter stating that 2014-2018 nissans where having acceleration issues. ( i have attached the letter) i have 2 cars now that have the same issue and i can not afford to fix them, especially if i am not 100% sure what the correction is. i have also attached copies of others that have the same issues, and you will see that some have tried to fix but get different responses on the fix. please help!! thanks
The dashboard and steering wheel on my 2009 nissan altima are melting due to the high temperatures in the cabin. when the vehicle is in the sun, the top surface of the dashboard melts, and restricts the forward visibility by causing a glare on the windshield. this makes it extremely difficult to see objects that are close to the vehicle in the sun.
My grandson and i were taking a 2 and 1/2 hour trip to visit family i was driving about an hour on the freeway going on an uphill and i began to hear a whining sound and my speed started to decrease from 70 then to 60 and it started to decrease more so i then got off the freeway turned off the car and waited about a half an hour i then decided that it would not be safe to continue my trip but the location that i was in was not a safe area for me and my grandson to wait for a tow truck i then decided to head back one exit down where they would be more lighting the car drove fine i was able to pick up speed with no problem but again i thought it would not be safe to continue driving so i then call the tow truck and how does tow back home what i did notice was when i accelerate the gas pedal the engine did not rev at a higher level nor did the speed increase but to my little knowledge with cars it was telling me it wasn't the ...
After driving approximately 1.5 hours on a family trip and on the interstate my car slowed all the way down to from speeds of 60 -70mph to barely not moving at all. clearly this frighten my entire family. after resting on the side of the interstate for almost an hour the car resumed but started to repeat the same pattern. it also barely pulled up a hill. this car has done this before and the nissian dealership stated that it could need a tune up. so before going on the family vacation listed above i had a tune up and oil change done but guess what. the problem still exists.
The dashboard on is melting.

Without warning our nissan altima 2009 would not start. upon my research i figured out the steering wheel lock mechanism which is part of the anti-theft system is faulty. the temporary fix is to bang on the mechanism with a wrench until the car starts.
The dashboard is melting and is causing such a glare, during the day but also at night making it unsafe to drive.
My dashboard on my car is melting. i have had it looked and it. it is so shiny it is blinding me while i drive during the day.
I was about to take my daughter (a 10 yr old child) suffering from an allergic reaction to the children's hospital, when the vehicle did not turn on. my nissan altima 2009 (sedan) had been used without issues just the day before and i had parked it at home. it was parked and when i tried turning it on, it did not read the key, the ignition did not even notice there was a key, the steering was locked. we were left stranded unable to turn on the vehicle and go to the hospital and get treated asap. i had to get a cab with the sick child and come back from the hospital the same way. the days that followed, i also had to see her doctor and the car still did not turn on. finally, the vehicle was towed to the dealership and they told me it has a steering lock problem and they see this often in that model(!). i looked online and was amazed to find several similar complaints! i saw nissan is aware of this issue on this model and had a campaign but my vin was not among the supposed vehicles under the ...
I have had the car 2-3 years now and the tires have loosened up on me while driving, the car stopped running and had to do some kind of steering column lock work, it is rusting on the drivers side floor panel, and the transmission is out of it which happen on the road at work with two of my clients. which the clients both are diagnosed with a disability. very frightening when you make a left turn and your car stops infront of oncoming cars. that could have been a major tradegy.if only nadsan would have fixed that transmission problem many years ago when they were made aware of the problem( malfunction) and nissan will not budge one bit to help fix the transmission unless i pay diagnostics and a transmission bill of over 5400.00. who ever heard of a transmission costing that much money? they are the worst and i will never purchase a nissan ever again. thanks for your consideration.
Dashboard is shiny and looks like melting. the shiny dashboard causes things to stick to it and has unknown sticky substance 'melted' on it. this causes glares and difficulty seeing out of front wind shield when driving- primarily while driving towards the sun. this has been happening for 3 years and getting worse in the texas sun.
My dashboard is melting causing visibility issues due to glare.
The dash has started melting as i am from texas, where the heat is intense in the summers. i don't always have the option to park in a garage like at work 8 hours a day in a parking lot. i had laid a file on my dash and it stuck too the dash. i thought that was very unusual. when i am driving in the evening the sun reflects off of it so bad i have to pull over sometimes. the way that they put the windshield they set the window off of the dash being the bottom or base. my windshield is leaking when it rains, cause my dash is melting and not supporting the windshield at the base.
