Unknown... I just got this car I haven't even had it put in my name yet but when I drive it there's a really bad glare I thought it was something sticky from the previous owner that was on the dash but it's not I got some goo off and tried to clean it off and tried to use a scraper and it's never ending stickiness so I thought that was kind of weird so I looked it up online Florida has a recall on this vehicle for the dash melting my dash is literally melting but they don't have a recall in Georgia, Texas or anywhere else there's such a bad glare on this car that I almost hit somebody walking down the road and another incident I almost hit a kid on a bicycle because it affects your visibility I think that Nissan should have to replace this.this is a safety issue and it's very dangerous luckily I saw them both in time I would hate to see if somebody didn't see them in time I looked up the price of it and it's almost $2,000 to have the dash replaced thats an insane amount of money for something that I feel like is Nissan's fault its clearly a faulty dashboard.it melts if it gets too hot and it puts this glare on the windshield and its not just a small glare it is terrible so I wanted to see if I could get something done or if maybe we could make Nissan fix the cars in Georgia and everywhere else that has this car it seems to only be 2008 and 2009 I believe so far from looking it up on the internet today but there's got to be something that we can all can do to make them pay to fix it everywhere I mean it's not only affecting drivers in Florida it's affecting every one of these cars I'm sure... in every state our kids matter I almost hit that kid on that bike and kids in Florida shouldn't matter more than the kids in Georgia or any other state for that matter and I think that it's ridiculous that they were allowed to only fix cars in Florida for that that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard this is a danger to everyone and I was hoping Y'all could help me.

Purchased the vehicle from Quality Auto sales llc.had tge vehicle less than 48 hours in traffic stopped. Had it towed to find they just put it together to rode off the lot but transmission is gone. Brought as is could have lost my life. Paid 6990.25.i feel misled and cheated tried to see if they would exchange the vehicle even pay half the cost of repairs. The answer no. I really believe this place us misleading the community and doing so by hiding behind as is. The know these vehicles need extensive work but misguided the public. This could have cost me my life and I pray someone inspects this dealership hold them liable for these vehicles they are selling which could cause a very fatal accident because their more money hungry than ones personal safety. Please please help. Thus happen on my birthday same day I git news my mom has cancer and she lives 4hours away no vehicle to get her to moffitt. So unfair.

The vehicle was working just fine when I went to the grocery store and came out. I unlocked the car using the key fob, sat inside and the car stopped detected my key. The steering was locked, I tried to place it near the start push button, tried putting it in the slot but nothing happened. And I tried unlock button couple of times on the key fob and the mirrors went down. And there was no way to pull them up and I was stranded in the parking lot for no reason. I got it towed to the dealership and they told me Steering Lock Module went bad which is a common issue in 2009 Nissan Altima. Its a safety issue as I can get stranded anywhere anytime! And they are fixing it for 1300$ bucks! Please recall all 2009 Nissan Altima and change this part in them!

I am having an issue where my car door (driver side) will either not unlock or not stay shut. I have been stuck in my car two days in a row after arriving at work but what is even more disturbing is that my car door went flying open last night on the way home from work when it was completely shut. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS !!! Where do I file a "complaint" for lack of a better term " Or concern to have this investigated " This is a 2009 Nissan Altima.

Car would not start. Was told the steering wheel lock had an internal failure. This happened before in 2014 and it was repaired after I was stranded. I was told that the warranty for the 2014 repair was a year and the dealership service department nor the Nissan headquarters would assist in the $800 repair. Recently I noticed the service campaign for the electronic steering column lock (escl) being deactivated and being replaced with a electronic steering column box. This offer expired May 30, 2020. However, I was never notified. When I called the service department at the dealership and Nissan headquarters I was told that my vehicle could not be modified. This makes no sense. There are a large number of complaints on your website regarding the same problem, and yet nothing has been done.

I was left stranded when car would not start. Thankfully I was in a parking lot and not on the road. I had it towed to dealer. Turns out it was a defective steering wheel lock. Nissan had previously had a service campaign to replace this part free of charge because they acknowledged that it was defective at manufacture. I was not aware of this campaign and am now out $862.46 as Nissan decided it will no longer honor their responsibility in this campaign.

A nightmare while awake. While backing out of a bank parking lot I hit a pole lightly. I stopped the car before shifting into drive. When I accelerated the car lurched forward at a fast speed. I tried braking but the car kept going forward slamming into the back of a parked SUV with the driver inside pushing it from the parking space up onto the side walk. And side swiping a parked truck pushing it into the SUV passenger side.. the acceleration was so great I am so my car is totaled. I am physically and emotional sicken by this and the damages caused from something Nissan could have prevent by fixing the problem. The car was still trying go after being stopped by the vehicle I hit and my foot on the brake. The lady from the bank told me to apply the emergency brake and that stopped the car. I could not get the car out of drive mode after the accident and had to shut it down in drive mode. This was a scene out of a horror show. It happened in springfield MA away from my home. I am glad the injuries are not fatal as one incident was.

Model 09 Altima has a known defect where the steering wheel column locks because it is unable to identify its own key. The car was stationary in a parking lot but this could have happend anywhere if this part had failed on the side of the road for example. The vehicle operates using push start and there is no physical key to start the engine outside of inserting the fob, which also didnt work. On 10/21/2020 the anti theft system failed to recognize the key/fob and there is no other way to turn on the car and it has to be towed. This is the second time this part failed randomly and rendered the car inoperable, the first time was in 2014. Nissan covered replacing this part the first time after a service campaign but is now refusing to do so for this non wear and tear problem. This is an extremely concerning and frustrating safety problem as this part can fail at any time and prevent the car from starting or moving, outside of towing and this was the second time this issue have happened. I have contacted Nissan and they refuse to financially help, warranty or reimburse us for a safety manufacturer defect that prevents the car from recognizing its own key/fob with no alternative way to start the car. The cost of repair at a Nissan dealership was $800+ to be able to get into our own car after Nissan refused to help us for their own manufacturer failure. This issue is a safety problem for many drivers on the road who own this make and model car and maybe suspect to their car getting completely disabled at any time from this part's failure with no alternative but to tow it out of the way.

My dashboard is melting. Which causes a glare on the windshield and is hard to see out. While driving hard to see anything. While in traffic hard to see other cars. The glare from the dashboard can be blinding as well if the sun or lights reflect..

The dashboard is melting. This is causing a very shiny surface that reflects light on to the windshield. Which makes visibility greatly impaired when driving toward any bright light.

The interior dashboard is melting horribly and creates a major glare onto the windshield. It is highly dangerous at night as oncoming light reflects onto the dash. It is very dangerous in general as I have had time where the glare don't not allow the ability to see in front of me. Not only is is highly dangerous, but it emits a horrible chemical like smell and is extremely sticky to touch the melted part will not wipe away and there is nothing I can do to fix it other than paying for a full replacement which is highly unfair considering is the manufacturers responsibility to produce vehicles that can withstand the heat in the South. I purchased the car in Louisiana right out of college and now live in Florida and both states experience long and hot summers. The problem is ongoing and the car is barely driveable due to how dangerous the nature of the problem is.

Lock steering module failed.

- Hempstead, NY, USA

The car won't start, even if I put the key fob in the key hole near the steering wheel. I took had a locksmith try to reprogram, but he said that wasn't the issue. I called the dealership, and they said they're were any recalls on the vehicle.

Dashboard desintegrating. Where I live is very hot in the summer yet I park in the shade most of the time. After a surge in temperature and then a drop to freezing I noticed a shine to the top seems on the dashboard. When I went to wipe it off I would not come off and was sticky. Forcing it only made it come off like a paste. It creates a very unpleasant glare and I dont know what to do about

I purchased this car January 2018. At the time of purchase there were no open recalls. Currently, my dashboard is so sticky that it is literally peeling off and has a toxic smell to it. I've tried call Nissan and they first told me there was no class action law suit, then they told me the car was too old, the latest is they said that this was from 2017. I said if you have defective dash boards it shouldn't matter how old the car is and Nissan should fix it. I am getting a glare from the reflection on windshield so this is dangerous. The consumer should not be left with this problem. Can you assist me?
