About 2 months after getting this car I noticed a rattling noise coming from the sunroof on the right side of the car. The noise got more pronounced when running over some small bumps even at low speeds. I took the car to route 23 auto mall service department in butler, nj; the same dealer where I got the car. Below is a list of dates and issues that have taken place with this car. 06/07/13 ? Took car in for rattle noise and the federal safety agency recall 13v‑158. Noise confirmed and new headliner ordered. 06/17/13 ? Headliner replaced, however noise remained the issue was not addressed. Called and explained the issue to the dealer. New appointment set. 06/25/13 ? Dealer states that the issue was now fixed, however the noise still remained. Dealer broke pillar covers and now they are not sitting properly, presenting a very dangerous issue. 7/10/2013 ? Called nissan's national consumer affairs department and explained the problem. Case: [xxx]created to track these issues. Spoke to [xxx] at extension [xxx]. Suggested I get a 2nd opinion. 7/12/2013 ? Low pressure warning light for left front tire comes up. Added air. Issue came back again later in the day. Added air a second time, issue corrected. 07/16/2013 ? Took car for second opinion to ramsey nissan in new jersey. Dealer verified complain. Dealer noticed missing insulation and broken pillars. Noise issue seems be fixed now. New pillars on order. 07/18/2013 ? Low pressure warning coming from left rear tire. This is a brand new car and I find it unacceptable that I'm encountering all these issues this early. I do not feel safe driving this car and I'm now left wondering what issue will be next. I fear for the safety of my family when I drive this vehicle as it seems there is a new problem every other day.

After returning home from the store, I noticed that there was an object done by my gas pedal. I went to pick it up and it looks like its supposed to be holding something up there. I looked up and could not find where it went, but then noticed a bolt that holds the bracket for the hood, and gas door cables was loose. I mean it was half way out and the other was tight. I do not feel safe in this car finding all of these different problems. Almost like they did not quality check it!
The welding in the four doors display broken. The line is getting bigger and a I am worry about the body of the car. Places that I can't see the welding.
I have had this car for 5 months and bought it brand new and it has been nothing but problems that nissan cannot resolve. On top of all of the recalls, brake and starting issues it now starting to fall apart. Recently I have been noticing a noise coming from the windshield almost every time I drive and especially when I am driving 60-75mph on the interstate. The noise I have been hearing sounds like small rock hit the windshield and at other times I hear a cracking noise. So here recently I was driving on the interstate at 75mph and hear something flapping on the windshield and notice that it is the rubber seal that goes around the windshield. So I pull off at the next exit and reattach the seal. The car is only 5 months old and nothing should be coming off like that. Also my car has black interior and it tends I be much hotter on inside especially in direct sunlight. One day I left my car parked in the direct sunlight and got it and the interior was pretty warm and I was going to plug my phone in and the A/C outlet inside the cubby under the radio and as soon as I tried to lift the outlet cover it cracked and broke off. I traded in my 2010 altima for the 2013 because I loved my previous altima and I had 60k on it and never had a problem with it. I thought I was buying quality and reliability when I purchased a nissan, but that has not been the case. I have had the car only five months and having mechanical, exterior and interior issues. This will be the last nissan I own, I will be getting a camry next time I purchase a car.
