What owners say
The federal safety agency says the upgraded investigation will not only focus on 2009 muranos, but safety regulators want to know if other nissan models may be affected. How about the nissan altima hybrid 2009...front right and rear left brakes locked up while driving the garden state parkway. I took the car to mavis who had just replaced brakes, rotors, and calipers. I was told "ABS pump and module are no good, only stopping on 2 wheels..rec...not to drive." I believe this problem is related and read that certain toyota's same year have an identical problem and that nissan used toyota parts that year.
My 2009 nissan altima VIN number [xxx] has many safety issues that are not being reported with my VIN number. The struts, steering lock box{which I paid 900.00 to repair], ABS speed control sensor,engine oil coolant and most of all the CVT transmission have went out on my car and nissan will not help me repair. So I am forced to attempt this last try before joining a class action law suit. I have only had the car 2 years and now I am out 9000.00 and the repairs are more than the car is worth. It would take too long to give detail about all the events so I pray someone at nissan is decent enough to stand behind their product and make this right I am a single mom of three and ride less . I have contacted att. General [xxx] and bbb. My car is at [xxx] my number is [xxx] my name is [xxx] I have opened 5 cases and been denied. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My car has had the ABS and the tire light on constantly - does not go off and cost a fortune to have fixed - according the to manual after inflating the tires it states the light may not go off and you have to take it to the dealer to be repaired at your expense. The safety issue is since these lights are on constantly have to keep checking my tires to make sure they are properly inflated and with the ABS light all the time you don't know when there is an actual problem with the brakes

Faulty steering wheel lock system causes car to not start up and locks up car's ABS and brakes. You cannot start the car without taking to dealership to get it repaired. I've heard many cases online about the nissan altima ranging from 2009-2011 models locking up having the same issues. And they have not recalled this. Affected parts is selected in unknown factor due to only knowing a few issues that branches from this malfunctioning part and system.
