Problem is intermittent. Car will be in motion on highway flat land/uphill/downhill any land and my car will intermittently loose power its a 2008 Altima 2.5S I will have no choice but to stop my car on the side of the highway in a deadly and heavily used canyon with not many places available to pull your car over. If there is it's very tight. When I pull over I shut it off for about a minute or two then I start it back up while in park I gently press the gas to accelerate it a little and nothing happens. The RPM stick wont move. I have been coming down an off ramp onto the freeway and I wont be able to accelerate in order gain a safe and legal speed to enter on a heavily trafficked highway with no where to pull over, almost caused a huge deadly accident because of this however the car RPM stick went up and down the car felt like it was trying to accelerate after a few "attempts" from the engine it went from me feeling the car almost forceful engine shut off with the lose of accelerating and unable to accelerate and hearing the car almost die and went from me decelerating hard at 40 mph on a slight downhill off ramp freeway at 40 mph to all of a sudden taking off as if the car was a rocket and didnt have any problems with maintaining speed. This has happened 9 times since I purchased and happens intermittently. The car will not typically have this issue if I make a short in town trip or a few errands in town no faster than 30mph speeds and no hard it fast acceleration on flat land. I lost the paperwork from the automotive shop however can easily obtain it showing that the car needs a new catalytic converter repair costing around 1300. Check engine light remains on even after being cleared will throw the same P024 error code. I just bought this car bought and am unable to safely drive it without a deadly outcome.

Dashboard melted, causing a bright vision-affecting glare on the inside of the windshield. Reduces visibility greatly, will likely cause an accident before too long.

I drove my car yesterday without any incidents. I have noticed this "key" symbol on dash warning light indicating I needed to insert the key into the car in order to start the car for the past several months. There is no diagnostic code and I was told by the dealership at Nissan that it was just indicating low battery on the key remote (even tho I just replaced the battery in November). I went to start my car this morning and although the dash lights up, the car will not start. I tried to jump start it and still wouldn't start. The brake lights come on and the dash lights up, but the car will not turn over at all. There isn't a fast clicking sound like it could be the starter. The key doesn't work to unlock the doors or the trunk either. Apparently this is as a result of a faulty steering lock unit.

Brake lamp switch malfunctioned at 10000 (April 2009) and 43000 (January 2012) miles, and replaced. When this occurs, the brake lights will not illuminate when the brake is applied, which is a hazard that could result in a crash. Because brake must be applied for engine ignition, the vehicle will also not start.

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.
