NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 16, 2009.NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID 2008, manufactured by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . my 2008 nissan altima, when parked on a slight incline rolled independently and collided with and damaged a parked vehicle. the car was in park and locked and i was walking away when i noted that the vehicle was moving. following the crash i unlocked the car, started the car and moved it from the scene. i have since had it examined by the nissan dealership. they found no defect with the transmission, brakes or other systems. they said that there were 2 possible explanations. the first that the car was not properly set into park and that the slight incline kept the drum of the brake moving such that it didn't set. the second is that they that they had seen this type of incident in cars with the intelligent keys. the car can be stopped when the car is still in gear and since there is no key to remove there is no safety feature to prevent someone from leaving the car in gear and leaving the vehicle. they suggested that i always use the parking brake. something that i intend to do. i was not in the car and there was no one in the vehicle that my car hit however, i would like to lodge a complaint for the record and request that there be some sort of review of cases like this. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash.

NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2013.NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID 2008, manufactured by Nissan North America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . check engine light came on. diagnostic error code was p0300 indicating intermittent multiple cylinder misfiring. took the car to the dealer. was informed that this is a known problem with altima hybrids due to carbonation of the engine due to frequent starts and stops. nissan has redesigned the cylinder head and at one time considered a recall but then decided against it and are handling it on a case by case basis. initiated contact with nissan corporation. nissan responded back in 10 days that they will not cover it because the car is not under warranty anymore (warranty expired at 60,000 miles). newly designed cylinder head was going to cost $2700. decided to decarbonize the car engine using a kit. car has been running fine since then. cost $185. bottom line: nissan should have covered the repair cost because it was caused by a design flaw in the cylinder head. nissan should have advised about trying decarbonization. overall very unhappy with the way i was treated by the company and the dealer. this is the 6th nissan product i have bought in the last 20 years, and will more likely be the last one. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 70000 miles.
