2009 Nissan Altima UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

have 117,000 miles and my transmission went out, the car will start but will not go in drive and will not go in reverse.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 IT

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?

MY RADIATOR OR MY HOSES ARE LEAKING CAUSING A RADIATOR LEAKS. MAKING MY CAR OVERHEAT. I JUST FIXED MY SERPENTINE BELT.

THE DASHBOARD ON IS MELTING.

DASHBOARD BOARD IS MELTING AND MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHILE DRIVING

I PURCHASED MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA IN JANUARY OF 2017.. BY MAY 2017 I NOTICED AS THE CLIMATE CHANGED MY DASH WAS STICKY AND IF YOUR FINGER SCRAPED IT PIECES WOULD COME PFF.. I NOTICED MY DASH WAS MELTING AS THE SUMMER WENT ON AND IT WAS STICKY AND DUST OR A WASH CLOTH I USED TO CLEAN IT PARTICLES WERE STICKING TO THE DASH. WHEN THE SUN IS OUT THE SUN HITS SPOTS WHERE IT BLINDS YOU DRIVING DUE TO THE DASH MELTING..THE DASH SHOULD NOT MELT IN A CAR AND ITS A REAL ISSUE THAT NOW EVEN THOUGH I LOVE MY CAR I WANT TO GET RID OF IT DUE TO THE DASH MELTING.

THE CAR ONLY GOES 20 MILES OF HOUR ON HWY AND IT STALLS IF YOUR AT A RED LIGHTNING OR STOP SIGN AND WANT HARDLY CLIMB HILLS OR MOUNTAIN AND IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING BURNING PLEASE HELP ME THE ONLY CAR I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH 3 KIDS

TAKATA RECALL CVT TRANSMISSION. WAS COMING ON HIGHWAY GOING 55 THE SPEED DROP WASN'T SHIFTING GEARS ANYMORE I WAS DOWN TO 10 HAD TO GONON SIDE OF ROAD MY CAR STARTS BUT WILL NOT MOVE NO MORE THEN 10 SPEED TOOK TO MY NISSAN DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF THOSE CARS GO OUT AND WHEN THEY DO IT'S VERY COSTLY THAT WE SHOULD JUST BUY A NEW ONE I HAD JUST PURCHASED THAT VEHICLE MAYBE TWO YEARS BEFORE THIS AT HAPPEN I LEFT MY NISSAN IT'S A WELL FAMILY CAR BUT IT SUCKS THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION CAN CAUSE IT TO GO DOWN THE DRAIN I KEPT MY CAR AND WELL SHAPE WITH FLUIDS AND ALWAYS MAINTENANCE ON IT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN I STILL OWN THE CAR BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH I LOVE IT I WANT TO GET IT FIX BUT EVERYWHERE I GO EVERYONE TELLS ME NOT TO BECAUSE THE COST ITS GOING TO TAKE TO FIX IT YOUR BETTER OFF BUYING A NEW ONE .... I JUST FEEL WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO BUY A NEW CAR OF THIS ONE WAS UP AND RUNING GOOD AND I DIDNT EVERYTHING I COUPD TO KEEP UP ON IT FOR THE CVT TO GO OUT ON ME LIKE THIS ..... THE CAR HAS A GOOD BODY NO RUST NOT ISSUES AT ALL BESIDES THE CVT TRANSMISSION I HAD GOT THE CAR IN 2017 AND IT WENT OUT ALREADY I PAID ABOUT 7,500 FOR IT ....

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES DUE TO GLARE.

WITHOUT WARNING OUR NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 WOULD NOT START. UPON MY RESEARCH I FIGURED OUT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK MECHANISM WHICH IS PART OF THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE TEMPORARY FIX IS TO BANG ON THE MECHANISM WITH A WRENCH UNTIL THE CAR STARTS.

DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CAUSING A GLARE TO MY WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO VISIBLY SEE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING BUT IT DEFINITELY CAUSING A PROBLEM FOR ME TO SEE CLEARLY.

THE DASH HAS STARTED MELTING AS I AM FROM TEXAS, WHERE THE HEAT IS INTENSE IN THE SUMMERS. I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION TO PARK IN A GARAGE LIKE AT WORK 8 HOURS A DAY IN A PARKING LOT. I HAD LAID A FILE ON MY DASH AND IT STUCK TOO THE DASH. I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY UNUSUAL. WHEN I AM DRIVING IN THE EVENING THE SUN REFLECTS OFF OF IT SO BAD I HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMETIMES. THE WAY THAT THEY PUT THE WINDSHIELD THEY SET THE WINDOW OFF OF THE DASH BEING THE BOTTOM OR BASE. MY WINDSHIELD IS LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS, CAUSE MY DASH IS MELTING AND NOT SUPPORTING THE WINDSHIELD AT THE BASE.

MY DASHBOARD ON MY CAR IS MELTING. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AND IT. IT IS SO SHINY IT IS BLINDING ME WHILE I DRIVE DURING THE DAY.

DASHBOARD IS SHINY AND LOOKS LIKE MELTING. THE SHINY DASHBOARD CAUSES THINGS TO STICK TO IT AND HAS UNKNOWN STICKY SUBSTANCE 'MELTED' ON IT. THIS CAUSES GLARES AND DIFFICULTY SEEING OUT OF FRONT WIND SHIELD WHEN DRIVING- PRIMARILY WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 YEARS AND GETTING WORSE IN THE TEXAS SUN.

DASH BOARD RECALL - I BOUGHT MY ALTIMA USE BACK IN 2016. I RECENTLY TOOK IT IN TO GET IT SERVICED AND ASKED ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THE DASH BOARD WHICH THE AGENT FURTHER TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS A CLAIM LAST YEAR FOR THE DASH BOARD ISSUE, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT THE ISSUE UNTIL I BROUGHT IT IN 04/13/2018. THE DASH BOARD AND GEAR SHIFT ARE BOTH STICKY AND CAUSING HARM WHEN DRIVING. NISSAN NOR THE THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT NEVER REACHED OUT BY SENDING S MAIL THAT THEIR PARTS WAS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION.

TAKATA RECALL MY STEERING LOCK JUST WENT OUT ON MY 2009 NISSAN ALTIMA I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST YEAR HOWEVER I DID NOT KNOW IT HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP UNTIL 2015 FOR THE STEERING LOCK IF THIS CAR IS STILL BEING SOLD THROUGH DEALERSHIPS IT SHOULD BE TOLD TO THE BUYER OF ANY RECALL ISSUES THAT HAVE WENT ON PRIOR HOWEVER I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND I HAVE A $1,200 PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND BECAUSE I BOUGHT THE CAR ONE YEAR AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP IFILE TO HAVE TO PAY ALL THESE EXPENSES OUT OF MY POCKET WHICH IS NOWHERE RIGHT
