When driving on long and sometimes short trips, the air flow stops blowing, like a vent was closed. the blower fan motor is still working and the a/c is still working because it is still cold at the vent but there is no air flow. *tr

2008 nissan altima 2.5- i have been to the dealership over 9 times with brake issues and had my master cylinder replaced once already in 2009 under warranty. my brake light has been turning on during acceleration and off when brake is applied. i brought it to the dealership today and was told the master cylinder has to be replaced again and the car is no longer under warranty and the work is not under warranty due to 12,000 mile agreement. obviously, something is seriously wrong here. i'm on the 3rd master cylinder in 2 and 1/2 years. there needs to be a recall for this cylinder; many people are complaining of the same problem. *tr

Brakes were making a noise for a 2nd time; already replaced once when i told abc nissan phoenix, az (where purchased) that at speed less then 25 mph my brakes were making a noise. the other day went to brake at 14 mph in very heavy traffic on the freeway during rush hour and brakes locked up and had to use the emergency brake to avoid a collision (mind you i was one car length behind the car in front of me). i am afraid to drive my nissan altima now!! this is ridiculous. *tr

Both back passenger doors on the 2008 altima sometimes do not close. after opening the doors, and then trying to shut the doors they do not latch shut and bounce back to the open position. this has happened at least ten times and the door latches have been replaced. within the week of the problem being "fixed" it happened again. it is only the two back doors not the front ones. *tr

First day for pick up, headlight pop, fix it the next day, took 90 minutes just to fix one headlight, after 6 weeks, car turns off when driving one of the most busiest hwy and the steering locks; only way to start it is by putting it to "park" hold brakes down all the way then push the button and coming from that, it was not safe at all, drivers were honking and swerving just to maneuver away from me, called dealership to where i purchase car to fix the problem, told them that the car had turned off 4 times on the same hwy and thank god it turned off on a straight away not while turning, showed them a video in which i intend to hold for evidence. drop it off 7:00am, dealership had said about codes; there was nothing wrong with the car and had replug every plug that was on the car in which it would be reset, gave car back within 9 hours saying the car will not turn off again and if it happens again bring it back. after a week and a half, the car had turned off plus with the gauges(not knowing the speed i was going) and radio display went out and this is when it was raining hectic and i wasn't able to use high beams automatically to where it locks forward but to pull it towards me manually while driving. already told dealership that this car is a big concern on the road for safety because when it turns off i become a crashing incident in which if that happens i will blame nissan for that. *tr
