Page 20 of 20: complaints 551 to 559 of 559, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle cranked up but would turn over. There was a recall (03v4555000) for the crank position sensor weld but the VIN number was outside the remedy scope.
While driving vehicle would stall at any speed, causing consumer to lose control, and pull off the road. Driver made contact with dealership on seven separate occasions, but problem still occurs. *ak consumer noted that since purchase there has been continuous problems with the vehicle, especially after a part in the engine was replaced. On morning while driving, the accelerator pedal stopped working. Consumer was traveling next to the carpool lane hoping no one would hit the vehicle.
I got a 2003 nissan altima on 9/1/03. On the 10/10/03 it started stalling. I took it into the dealership. They said it was a damaged spark plug. The same thing happened the next day. I took it back. A butterfly valve had come loose and was lost somewhere in the engine. I was informed of two recalls, and I needed a new engine. Nissan gave me a rental for 5 days, but I had to pay for anymore. It took 7 days to deliver the engine. I can not afford to rent a car, so I had to borrow my sister's car to get work. Once it came one of the parts was wrong. They had problems with the catalogs, and the part was on a national back order. They would not agree to a rental. I called nissan myself. After waiting for 24 hours while they reviewed my file I was denied a rental because they didn't know how long I would be. The lady was very rude. I asked for a supervisor. I was told it would take 24-48 hours for them to return my call. I waited a week and called back. He told me that they should be calling me that day or the next. I have still never heard from them, and it is december 4 2003. I am just getting the run around from the nissan company. I have been getting phone calls from nissan telling me the part will be in a certain week, but still no part. On november 19th the dealership gave me a car, and then on november 20th they got nissan to give me a rental. So between october 25th until november 19th I have had to borrow a car from my sister. Both of us commute, her to school, and me to work. I work the graveyard shift, so there is no public transportation. I am a nurse and am on call somedays. It makes it difficult to get there in a hurry, when you don't have a car. I have also had to miss out on the overtime hours, not to mention staff meetings. I have never been treated as rudely by a company as nissan has treated me. I have been getting nothing but fake promises. I will never buy another nissan, nor will anyone I know!
I have a 2003 nissan altima 2.5s and @ 3900 miles the radiator went bad , now @ 4800 miles the radiator is bad again. Dealer is very unhelpful of situation and acts like they don,t want to fix.germaine nissan is 2 hours away from my home , only bought from them because I was told they were a respectable dealership.it puts almost 150 miles on my car to drive it up ther and back,and they say I don,t qualify for a loaner car.
Consumer was complaining about radiator leaks coming from the hose clamp area and the top of the radiator. Dealership had been informed; however, they told consumer that there was no problem.
I took the car to the dealer I bought the car from because is making a noise and when it's parked it's making a noise even more worse. Of course as always the people I spoke to said that is normal. The noise that my car make is like if this was a diesel car.
