We moved from Illinois to Florida in 2014, after living in Florida for 2 years the dash board in the Nissan became shiny and sticky, like it is melting. After contacting Nissan about the problem, they mentioned that the car is out of warranty and there is no recall on the dash board. We feel this should be looked into for a recall due to the fact that the shiny reflection of the melted dashboard is causing poor visibility through the windshield due to the reflection from the sun. This feels like a big safety issue because this reflection causes large areas of blind spots across the windshield. Nissan should take responsibility like Mazda, Toyota, and Lexus have and replace the dashboard under recall.

When driving for about 45 min or more and maybe a little hotter than usual, and you are driving on a freeway or highway, the speed will lock at 65 or under, it will not let you go any higher, when it locks it slows down fast like if hitting the breaks, this is so dangerous when on freeway we have been so close to accidents because of this, we travel on the car, and it has done it a lot lately, we know nothing of why it's this way.

I replaced all four original tires on car in 1/2015. Vehicle had 43K miles on; tires had always been rotated and properly inflated to 32 psi. During the next months, I noticed increasing noise as the car accelerated and decelerated. I tried to determine the source of the rythmic thumping noise but was unable. I had tires inspected and no problems could be found with approximately 9,000 miles on the tires. I noticed increasing rhythmic noise but could not locate which tire was the source. We had a flat tire from a roofing nail in the rr which required the tire to be replaced. Replaced tire with another Goodyear assurance. With this new tire on the rr, I was able to locate the road rumble to the right front, so I had that tire replaced with another Goodyear assurance. Noise seemed to go away. As my wife is the principle driver of this car, I thought the problem had been solved with the two new tires (as one had been failing). On a 500 mile trip, I noticed that the road noise (low rumble directly associated with tire speed, especially at low speeds). I now realize that the road noise must be coming from one/or both of the original tires that were placed on the car in 2017. On close inspection of these two tires, I have noticed multiple areas of a fine splitting approximately 1 inch down the side of the side wall on both of these tires which may be indicative of tread separation. I am to the point where I feel uncomfortable taking this car on the highway. I have asked three different dealers about this and I get many assorted answers, but the bottom line is that these tires make a rumbling noise directly related to tire speed and show signs of sidewall cracking. I don't want to get to the point of an endangering blowout and am considering replacing all 4 tires in the near future. This car is driven mostly on local city street and very infrequently on highways.

Apparently due to the fact that my warranty has passed & don't live in fl (la & tx are just as hot) & I'm not a repeat customer (even though I bought mine on my parents recommendation who owned one), the defective dashboard Nissan experimented with on 09-12 Altima that is sticky, melting, disintegrating, & causing a dangerous shiny glare on my glass that is causing visibility problems is not something Nissan is worried about. I guess I'd have to die in a horrible car crash & my family sue before Nissan would like to recall their defective cars. This is not something I've done to my car. Not because of wear & tear I've put on my vehicle. I understand what warranties are all about. This is a defective material Nissan used & what if any future vehicle I purchase from Nissan has something wrong & Nissan chooses not to fix it" does that make me want to be a repeat customer???" to this point I loved my Nissan & fully intended to upgrade to a bigger vehicle for all the church kiddos we haul around. Nissan has treated us like insignificant dirt when this is factory defected product. I'm sure many people in Florida had to come together for a group lawsuit before Nissan took action. This is not just a small unimportant issue. The glare is unsafe and as my husband works in construction where 'safety first' is the company's motto, we are speechless that this has not been recalled. If this company does not step up to the plate and make this right, we will be taking our buyer purchasing elsewhere. This is not worth someone losing their life over. Nissan can bite the bullet & lose $2,000 to a new dash whereas most of us can't do that ourselves. A company of this size & supposed reputation could & should take this hit. I'm worried about it affecting my passenger airbag now as well! picked a date bc prob is ongoing and no wreck has occurred yet thankfully.

Hello, my car caught on fire starting from the engine. Transmission problem came out of nowhere and caught on fire

- Atlanta, GA, USA

1) when accelerating from S stop, my car will jerk (like the transmission is slipping). It will often jerk while my car is in motion as well. This happens on city streets & freeways/highways. 2) there is also an issue with the "hood latch" not locking completely. It sometimes looks like the hood is going to pop open when driving.

My dashboard started melting!! in just the past month it has turned in to a shiny sticky mess that cannot be cleaned and impedes vision due to the reflection off the windshield. Very dangerous! I have contacted Nissan and am awaiting a response to see if they will help resolve the issue or not.

Hello, my question pertains to the Nissan Altima and maxima. May I preface my statements with the fact that I owned a 2005, 2009 and 2011 Nissan Altima and while I traded my last one in for a different make, I had very much enjoyed the vehicle until I found out there was a dangerous flaw in the Altima and, I was told by Nissan, the maxima.in my 2011 Altima, a serious panic stop, locking up the brakes, caused my vehicle to not move for 3-5 seconds. This happened several times and I had my local dealership look at the vehicle each time and each time I was told there was nothing wrong with the car but it reoccurred.after responses from the dealership went nowhere, I called the main Nissan customer service line and was told that the problem was in the transmission of both vehicles. The special seamless transmission will cause a 3-5 second delay after a panic stop but it was normal for that type of transmission. When I asked what to do if that occurred on a freeway with a truck barreling down on me they had no answer.not satisfied with that response I called a local radio auto talk show and was referred to a local auto shop as he had never heard of that specific problem. The local auto shop checked the vehicle and also said there was nothing wrong with the car but when I took the owner of the shop out he experienced it.his response was that this was the first time he had heard and experienced it but unless there were a lot of complaints for that specific problem nothing would happen.I now throw out this issue to you. Has this been a reported issue" is it still a problem" after my experiences I felt very unsafe in the car. We won't go into the response I receive from Nissan customer service or that lemon laws do not apply to this issue since the vehicle was deemed okay and nothing fixed.my writing to you is because these models received awards for safety.

I own a 2011 Nissan Altima. The problem I've been having since I got my car is when the speedometer hits 35mph it pulls back the RPM drops and loses speed. Also when I am in traffic I step on the gas gently and the car jerks it feels like a stick shift car when your up shiftting. It feels so uncomfortable knowing my car moves in exaggerated way. Another thing it has is the RPM rev high when I gently pressing on the gas pedal I have to let go of the gas pedal and press gently again I have to repeat that 2-3 times for the RPM to be at normal it has waste gas by doing this. I have taken my car to two dealership the first told me that it was normal for my car to do that I was not satisfied on how my car was acting. I took it back several times they finally said it could be the transmission my car is under the 60,000 mile warranty the dealership contacted the manufacture and they deny to replace my transmission. I took my car to another dealership explain the problem my car was doing and the guy that was going to do my paperwork automatically said it's your transmission. He told me to leave my car and they were going to replace the transmission. I left my car for almost a week. In that time I was waiting I called like 3-4 times to ask about my car the only answer I got from the was we'll call you back in a few and never called me. I struggled to get on time to work and to my college classes since I had to take public transporation. I finally went to the dealership to check up on my car and they didn't do anything to my car. My car is still under the 60,000 mile warranty with the same problem and the dealership wont do any thing about my car.

Keyless start- I left the vehicle with the key fob, the car was driven approx. 2 miles away without the key. When the person driving realized this, they didn't turn the car off and came back. The car never shut down, but did start to shutter a bit.
