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.

P0776 codes populates after 02 sensors were changed. it's the solenoid b pressure line located in the valve body. it affects the car to the point we're it's undriveable and loses power. car will not go over 3000rpms if it does it causes the car to go into lymp mode. there's been several complaints regarding the issue and nissan has yet to make any effort to rectify the issue. nobody has $3000 to replace the whole transmission, when it's only a little component that needs to be replaced and not the entire tranny. rectify the issue and stop selling lemon cars with horrible parts.

My 2009 nissan altima vin number [xxx] has many safety issues that are not being reported with my vin number. the struts, steering lock box{which i paid 900.00 to repair], abs speed control sensor,engine oil coolant and most of all the cvt transmission have went out on my car and nissan will not help me repair. so i am forced to attempt this last try before joining a class action law suit. i have only had the car 2 years and now i am out 9000.00 and the repairs are more than the car is worth. it would take too long to give detail about all the events so i pray someone at nissan is decent enough to stand behind their product and make this right i am a single mom of three and ride less . i have contacted att. general [xxx] and bbb. my car is at [xxx] my number is [xxx] my name is [xxx] i have opened 5 cases and been denied. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I haven't been happy since i had my car, which i purchased in 2012 with 45, 0000 miles at the time of purchase. i complained about so many things every other month i was going to get it checked. when you hit a bump you can here something loose underneath the front end of course i seemed like the only crazy one hearing the noise. then when i took it back again i was told the sway bar arms need to be replaced when this was a problem when i first purchased the car they just ignored now my warranty is expired . the steering lock was one issue and i was told through the dealership that there was not a recall on my car. until i contacted you guys i was told that there was a recall. now when i drive the car at a certain speed it starts wining and slows down to 60 mph with the gas pedal to the floor i am furious because i was traveling on the interstate 4 different times going out of town and this happened. someone could have ran into the back of me. i changed out the air filter thinking that may have been the problem but no it continued. also sometimes the car wouldn't start i was told by nissan i needed a new battery and i had it checked by someone else they said the battery was fine. the passenger sensor light stays on when an adult is sitting there. now my sister 2013 nissan altima transmission is gone and she only had the car almost two years and we were complaining about the issue with the car going a certain speed and making noise. i went to nissan and they told me my car can be put on the machine, but i would have to pay to have it checked. too many people having the same problems with these cars.

Front strouts lift & right side is cracking.

After about 37000 miles i started to hear a "whirring" or kind of "roaring" noise while driving. i noticed the noise sped up and got a bit louder as i accelerated. i asked a mechanic to check the brakes and those were fine. at the next oil change, i asked the mechanic to ride in the car because the noise had gotten louder. they found one of the front wheel bearings to be worn out. i took the car to a dealer, because the wheel bearings are covered under the power-train warranty until 60000 miles. the dealer found both front wheel bearings "completely worn out" (per their notes on the work order). wheel bearings should not be wearing out this early. *tr
