On april 2018, I visit the nissan del oeste at aguadilla pr to report noise in the power steering noise, no action was taken, they just said that was normal with all nissan power steering pump. February 25, 2021 I contact nissan del oeste at aguadilla pr and notify about the issue of the power steering noise and transmission noise. Appointment for march 2 2021 was set and I notify them with problem. They told me there was not any recall for power steering pump and CVT transmission. I did mention the recalls for 2013 nissan altima iaw the federal safety agency with ref.: st12-009b, ref:ntbb-0176 andtsb ntb12-081. They inform at the voucher the mileage in and out, they did not took the car for a run of 6 miles like it says on voucher 48133s. The main concern is that the car could have any situation with one of those parts just mentioned during a drive and cause any accident with out having the control. My question is, if there is a malfunction for my 2013 altima that is already knowledge by nissan motor comp. And provide recalls why my have to be exclude? The power steering noise is at every moment when on and running, power steering fluid is good. The transmmision is during the driving with some noise after 20 miles drive on highway between 65 to 70 MPH and then pressing the brake, the noise feel like it come from the transmmision. Another situation is ocaccionaly some lowt of power and some times accelerate. Brakes pads are good, brake fluid is good. My car mpg is 31.2 and mileage at this moment is 76,680.
The car was stationary in the driveway, with wheel wedges placed at front tires. It was jacked up the rear driver side tire was removed to put on new brakes, only to find a bolt holding the caliper on to the bracket was broke off. This warrants a great safety concern. Do all the other ones have to be changed?- in order to prevent a safety hazard.
While driving the vehicle on open highways the vehicle will experience a loss of power and engine shuts off resulting in loss of steering and breaking. Vehicle will also experience the same issues while driving in the city streets. When coming to a stop the vehicle will lose power and breaks will not work. This has been occurring since november 2019
Replaced the battery and now brake light and check engine like is on and won't start. Brakes are hard. Car was parked for 2 days and came out to a dead battery. Replaced battery and the copper battery connector. Went to start it and then all these other issues happened.

Ever since I bought the vehicle my brakes, which also starts my car will occasionally feel like they get stuck sounds as if they might be rusty and when I apply pressure they catch. I will apply and then all of a sudden they click down. I'm afraid the longer it goes on sooner or later they will no longer work. Happens motion and stationary . Suspension' every bump I go over I feel like my car is hitting rock bottom. Slow or normal speed. All these problems I have told since I first bought my vehicle. I was fluffed off telling me it was this or that and it was normal. I drove the same car 'a rental'never never felt any of these problems. That is why I decided to buy a nissan. Big mistake.
