I purchased the 2019 Nissan Altima March 22,2024 for the last week the car will start when it wants, the collision sign on the dash comes on and states it-??s blocked, the car will stop or shut off while driving ( on the highway with my two children ) the car stoped & a big truck almost ran in the back of me, the seat belt on the right side doesn-??t work. Theirs 4 other problems with the car the could get me and my children killed I have documents from Autozone about my engine that-??s not good. ( and the computer I put on to check the car says stop and repair car immediately). I have pictures of that also.
ECM is causing my car to stay in a constant Malfunction state. The problem began in April 2023 and at first was intermittent. Now it stays in limp mode. The collision and traction control indicators stay on, as well as the check engine light. Two sensor codes came up and those were changed, but now the malfunction will not allow the codes to be cleared. This puts myself, passengers, and everyone else on the road in danger because when it malfunctions, it brakes without warning. Not to mention the amount of gas the car is using. The vehicle was inspected by a mechanic who stated it was the ECM causing it. This needs to be recalled.
The shutter in the front of the car is defective. This part not working causes the car to overheat. There are so many issues with this exact same problem on this exact car that there is literally a back order and I cannot get the part so now I can-??t use my car. My mechanic place said he-??s seen 4 of these cars in the past week with the same problem and can-??t get the parts because of back order. If there are this many issues that it-??s causing this much of a shortage and it can cause overheating this should be a recall issue.
Ice deposits forming in the engine EGR valve preventing the EGR valve from properly functioning. This results in a "limp home mode" where the engine power output is severely reduced. Ice deposits physically verified by dealer. this condition routinely happens when parked outdoors in temps below 0F. When effected the car cannot reach highway speeds. Problem resolved by completely warming up the engine followed by an engine restart to clear the ECM error.

The Check engine light came on and I took it to Nissan dealer. My car is at 39,000 mileage. On the previous Nissan Altima (2016) I had, the same thing happened while I was driving from Minnesota to Louisville. We almost crashed at Chicago due to some engine issue. When I arrived to Louisville, KY, I stopped by Nissan dealership and ask them what happen and they told me it will take up to two weeks to fix but recommended to get a new vehicle. I had no choice but to change to a new 2019 Nissan. Now the same thing is happening to this new Nissan Altima and Nissan is not willing to fix the issue without charge. This is very frustrating.

But My main concern is not the door but the engine light they refuse to fix. Please help.
