To repair it. It happens so often that they stock the part. I have read 364 complaints asking for nissan to recall this problem. it IS not fair to us as consumer to have to pay for this because this IS happening in hundreds of vehicle. I have been without my car for 6 days now and nissan consumer affairs said they would have to do research and will notify me by 5/13/16 which will be 8 days. I can't afford a $1,000 to pay for something that IS no my fault. I have own a nissan maxima and never had a problem, but since this event. I will not buy another one. This IS from complaints.com website: their cars.

Traveling w/ flow of traffic when turn head for split second not realizing the vehicle ahead of me stalled, so she had no brake lights or flashers, nevertheless I slammed into the that vehicle in front of me. I hit wrapped myself around the steering wheel and my head flew over the steering wheel and back unto the seat. But never did the airbag deploy to hold me in place. my injuries where shortness of breath, since my chest and neck were bruised. My arms were difficult to move. My head was pounding along with my jaws in pain. *tr

Went out for dinner and noticed nothing unusual. On the way home, "check engine" light came on and engine began to run rough. Then, 200 yards from home, "check engine" light began flashing and engine roughness increased to shaking. Codes read: "knock" and "cylinder 4 misfire". If this had happened in heavy traffic or on one of the bridges that we frequently use, my wife and I both would probably be severely injured, if not dead! The onset was rapid! Guess I was not lucky enough to escape this much-stonewalled nissan manufacturing defect that I have learned about only from the multitude of online information. Until it happened to me, it would not have occurred to check into it, with no communication from nissan. Maintenance and all fluids are up-to-snuff. *tr

I just bought a 200 nissan altima. I was driving to hilton head and 2 hours into the trip the cruise control went off and then the air bag light came on. I kept giving it gas and it just started slowing down. We got hit from behind and spun around. I broke my nose and my girlfriend broke her hip in 3 places.

I put my foot on the brakes after I started the car and when the brake pedal went to the floor, I realized my brakes were not working. I later had the car checked and learned that the bracket on the strut assembly that secures the brake hose separated from the strut when the spot welds failed. Subsequently, the unsecured brake hose was punctured because of contact with moving parts. *tr

The vehicle began to run rough and smoke started to emit into the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who stated that the engine was not the original equipment and there was no coolant. As a result, the engine over heated causing the engine block to crack. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 200,000.

My 2000 nissan altima idles rough and the engine shakes. My mechanic ran a diagnostic test and said cylinder 4 was misfiring and the only way to correct it was to change the intake manifold gasket. The price: $1500. This seems to be a common problem because I see the same complaints from 98-01 altima owners. The mechanic, said this was common problem with these cars. He also said changing the gasket will fix the problem. Why isn't nissan forced to recall this issue? Someone needs to do their job and look at this issue. *tr

The car front end has been making strange noises, I took the car to a nissan dealer on may 15,2012 for oil change and inspection. The dealer found out that the car IS unsafe to drive because the left front strut tower IS separating from the car. I was very shocked to know that because the car didn't have any accident or hit. I made an internet search for recalls, I found that all the models of 1995 till 1999 have recalls regarding the front strut. I noticed that the strut tower on right side started cracking and rusting too. the dealer told me that they can't fix it and I have to take my car to a body shop to repair it. This IS a very dangerous defect and nissan should be responsible for it. p.s. I have made a report by phone and the reference # [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6).*tr

On 3/5/2012, I had a vehicle safety inspection. excessive play in the front end was noted. I took my car to monro muffler where the vehicle was placed on a lift and the underside inspected. it was determined that the subframe was so badly corroded by rust that the frame had perforated and broken away from the suspension. there are holes throughout as well as breakage and weakening. monro muffler recommended I contact nissan consumer affairs which I did. I explained the situation to nissan stating the extent of the damage. I was directed by nissan to take the vehicle to a nissan dealer for a diagnosis which I did. nissan of dartmouth, ma confirmed monro muffler's diagnosis and quoted a minimum $2,300 to repair both the front and rear subframes. beverly bansek of nissan called me back to inform me that nissan would do nothing for the repair. I asked for a supervisor and I was then contacted by the regional supervisor of nissan, vaughn francis who, after reviewing my claim again, stated that nissan would do nothing for me and that the disintegration of the subframes was due to a lack of owner maintenance rather than a defect in workmanship. vaughn francis then stated that there was no need for me to call nissan again as I would only get him and the answer would be the same and that my only option was to contact the bbb autoline dispute resolution division at 1-800-955-5100 which I have done. two nissan dealerships state there IS no owner maintenance recommended on the subframes of nissan's vehicles. it IS my belief that the failure of the subframes IS due to excessive corrosion of the subframe which has lead to perforation possibly from the inside out and because this IS an issue of workmanship, nissan should be investigated for a possible safety related defect resulting from inadequate manufacturer's corrosive resistant protection and/or subframe design.

While going 75mph on cruise control all of a sudden all the gauges (rpm, mph, fuel, engine temp) dropped down to zero. Only the cruise control lights remained on. All while a combination of #'s and letters came up on the odometer (even the odometer went blank). It was a shock and I did not know how to react to this. My first reaction was to turn off the cruise control via the buttons on the steering wheel, as soon as I did it this caused all the gauges to come back to life including the odometer. Very weird issue. *Tr

The fuel level IS not accurate. It first started doing this telling me I had a 1/4 tank left, when I ran out of gas in the middle of an interstate. I then put gas in it and sure enough that's what it was. Ever since then the car never gives accurate readings, I can fill all the way up and it will only show that it IS 3/4 full or such but never IS precise. This can be a very big issue for someone that does not have a gas station nearby like it happened to me. *tr

While driving the dashboard goes out completely. You can not tell how fast you're going or what the rpm IS or anything, including the gas gauge. When this happens, sometimes the car begins to lose power as if the gas pedal isn't working and then all of a sudden it comes back and you get propelled forward. This happens very frequently and I'm afraid that I am going to get a speeding ticket one day because there IS no way for me to tell how fast I am going when the dashboard goes dead and even worse I'm afraid I'm either going to lose speed and get rear-ended or gain speed and be propelled into the vehicle in front of me. I have researched this, and this IS a very common problem with this year, make, and model vehicle. In all the other complaints that I have found online, they all go to the mechanics and they can not figure out the problem. I believe this IS a vehicle defect and the electrical unit on the dashboard needs to be recalled and fixed before someone gets injured or killed due to this malfunction. Also, this electrical issue causes the service engine light to turn on and gives a misread when you take it in to be diagnosed.
