My wife drives our 2009 nissan altima 2.5s to work on 3rd shift and on her lunch break goes to her car and takes a nap with the car running and was complaining to me for a month or more that she has this smell in her car like a "gas smell" and also was complaining of being tired and nauseous when i spoke with her about it. i noticed her car was abnormally louder when she started it at home and it had not been run that day. i have determined that this is from a cracked exhaust manifold and my wife and i are very lucky she was not killed from the carbon monoxide poisoning she was receiving while sitting in her car while it was idling on her break. the exhaust fumes were being brought into the cab of her car from the cracked exhaust manifold, thru the vents from the outside hvac air ducts under the hood in the engine compartment. i never could smell a "gas smell" which i assumed she meant gasoline or possibly a coolant smell from a leaking heater core and so i blew it off until ...
It won't start most of the time and when it does it'll only let me get up to maybe 20mph and that's it
Nothing but problems with this car since i purchased it. had to replace all tire sensors, speed sensors, coils, front passenger tire rod, the ctv transmission, and the trunk leaks into the trunk and the tail light's. i have repaired all these things out of my own pocket.i have been stranded several times, i have almost been hit, and have had the car towed. the dash has become sticky and everything sticks to it. it produces a glare on the wondow which makes it hard to see.the engine experiences loss of power and no mechanic can pinpoint the problem. i do not drive it much since i have purchased it. this car should be a lemon or recalled. the problems keep coming.
My wife and two young daughters were stranded for a time due to a sudden issue with the steering lock mechanism. this suddenly made the car inoperable and left them out in 102 texas summer heat. after much research this seems to be a fairly common and known issue. we bought our car from a dealership in 2014 and we not made aware of this issue or any potential warranty extension. this is a $500 part (excluding labor and towing fees) that can and has stranded people with little to no notice. how is this acceptable?

2009 nissan altima. consumer writes seeking reimbursement for vehicle repairs. *ld *tr
This vehicle will not operate if it's driven for more than 45 minutes at highway speeds. the power train goes into a neutral mode. it then requires a pull over onto a freeway to allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes before the vehicle will work. it does not matter what the ambient temperature is outside. when driving at speeds lower than 50 miles per hour it does not have this problem. per the nissan mechanics this is a known problem with the cvt and the only way to fix it is to completely replace the cvt. we have tried a transmission cooler but that does not work. this is very dangerous as it requires the vehicle to be stopped and turned off for 20 minutes which can be a big safety problem as it would require sitting on the side of the freeway or, if able, sitting in the vehicle in an unsafe neighborhood.
Burning too much oil , had to add 3 to 4 quarts of oil between oil change...piston ring problem causing misfire while on the highway every 2 months causing spark plugs burnt out.
Starting in april 2016 we had a problem with the vehicle when my wife while driving the car suddenly lost the ability to drive, the engine had shut down entirely. at the time the vehicle had just over 100,000 miles and she was driving on a busy express way between cleveland and akron i-77. she costed into a rest area and we had to leave the car there over night until we could get it towed to the dealership. they told us it was the o2 sensor and it cost us almost 1,200 $ to repair. a few months later in june of 2016 on fathers day with our almost 2 year old daughter in the car, my family and i were driving down to virginia to spend some time with friends. we had another incident. while driving in the dc area on another busy express way i-70 in maryland our car again lost power in the engine. we couldn't drive it any where. we had it woed by aaa to frederick maryland, rented a car, and drove the 5 hours home. a few days later i drove back down to pick the car up. this time it was the ...
While driving down the interstate once the engine gets hot the car loses all power. no warning lights come on and once you stop the car and let the engine cool down it runs fine
Transmission overheats whenever the vehicle is driven for an extended period (1 hour+) in warm weather (80 degrees+). vehicle immediately loses power, with rpms never reaching above 2000, drastically reducing acceleration and speed. driving on a highway, this creates a serious danger. this has been happening for over two years now.
The start push button ignition and the intelligent key will not engage.. the steering wheel is locked and will not allow the brake pad to depress for the operation of the vehicle. i am left dead in the water with no way to start or use the accessories function to turn on the radio or allow my phone to charge in the battery port. i went to pick up my family went to start the car and there was no recognition.
I started my car as usual to run some errands. it started fine. i stopped at the gas station and shut off the car. it would not start again. it was freezing cold. my car was blocking the gas pump and it could not be moved. i ruled out the key fob because it still unlocked the doors. i inserted the key fob in the emergency socket that is supposed to start the car in case the battery in the key fob dies. still nothing. i had my brother bring me a new battery for the key fob. still nothing. he took me home. i had to leave the car there. after some internet research, many many others with nissans were having the same issues. the culprit is the electronic steering lock module. it locks the steering wheel and you cannot start the car when it is locked. i went back to the car tore the panel apart and located the steering lock. the research i did said that sometimes you could get it to release the lock pin if you tap on it with hammer. so i stepped on the brake while holding in the start button and tapping ...
