Nissan Altima 2009 Air BagsNissan Altima 2009 Air Bags Review #10253536 NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2009.NISSAN ALTIMA 2009, manufactured by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with AIR BAGS . there is a problem with the 2009 nissan altima in which the passenger airbag turns off (indicated by a passenger airbag off light), while an adult passenger over 100 lbs is correctly seated on the passenger side, sitting square with seatbelts fastened. if an accident occurred while the airbag is turned off, the passenger is not protected in nissan altimas. at the least, an override on or off is needed because the weight sensor doesn't work correctly on the nissan altima, based on the first month of driving on my 2009 nissan altima, with a 108 pound passenger. i purchased a 2009 nissan altima from mossy nissan oceanside last month. today on 2 separate occasions the passenger airbag turned off. the first time it turned off, i checked the manual which stated that the passenger needs to sit correctly for the airbag to turn on. we believe she was, however her feet were on the right side rather than the center of the floor. later this evening, we made certain the passenger was sitting correctly when the passenger airbag off light turn on again. in both cases, within 10 minutes the airbag off light then turned off. if an accident occurs during the airbag failure period above, a fatality can easily occur. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 338 miles.

Nissan Altima 2009 EquipmentNissan Altima 2009 Equipment Review #10255329 NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 07, 2009.NISSAN ALTIMA 2009, manufactured by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with EQUIPMENT . i recently (12/30/08) bought a 09 nissan altima 2.5sl with connection package and within the first week of driving the car i came across an issue with the stereo. i turned on the car as i have for the past week by pressing the start button, but this time the stereo sound wasn't coming through the speakers. i cycled through the stereo modes (am/fm/xm/cd) and adjusted the volume up and all i heard was a consistent buzz coming through the speakers. i then turned off the car and restarted the vehicle where the stereo worked perfectly. i can't help but think this issue is attributed to an initialization problem with the stereo/car. since this issue occurred i haven't experienced the issue again as of the time that i am writing this (2 weeks later). i asked the dealership if there has been any other people that have experienced this, but they haven't had any complaints about a similar issue at this time. i just wanted to document this issue in case anybody else has experienced something similar. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 720 miles.

Nissan Altima 2009 Electrical SystemNissan Altima 2009 Electrical System Review #10256444 NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 23, 2009.NISSAN ALTIMA 2009, manufactured by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . the 2009 nissan altima has an electrical discharge design flaw. the headlights turn off automatically after 5 minutes, apparently the battery rapidly drains even after the auto-headlight shutoff with the car turned off. i purchased a 2009 nissan altima 2500s december 7th, 2008, the car died january 23rd, 2009. i drove the car from home to work in the rain. the car was parked for around 10 hours, after returning to drive home, the car was dead - the keyless entry didn't work, using the mechanical key to enter the car, the start button didn't work. aaa couldn't tow the car due to a height beam blocking the tow truck - the car couldn't be moved because the car was frozen in park due to the dead electrical system - the trunk couldn't be opened with the switch on the trunk or by the switch on the dash. aaa jumped the battery and the car has run for 3 days now without any problems. the battery was so fully drained that the radio needed to be reprogrammed with the time and stations. this raises questions of how many safety systems relying on the battery will fail - for example the car can roll away if shutoff in neutral - if the battery discharges, is the shift gear then frozen in neutral? the rapid discharge of the battery with the car off is a design flaw which leaves the consumer stranded, potentially in a dangerous situation. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1478 miles.

Nissan Altima 2009 Air Bags Frontal Review #10257070 NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 31, 2009.NISSAN ALTIMA 2009, manufactured by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . traveling 65 mph on the freeway, my daughter noticed her mom's "passenger airbag off" light was on. this happened before, nissan-usa checked the system at mossy nissan and stated the system is working properly. nissan-usa did not use weights to check the weight sensor, they drove around with a 125 lb passenger and concluded the airbag system is ok. nissan countered my safety suggestions below stating it would be very difficult to improve the airbag system due to nhtsa, and they would also need to crash test the car. mossy nissan is knew my wife is ~117 lbs and did not disclose to me the airbag safety deficiency prior to the sale. mossy nissan stated that because this system passed the nhtsa, they are not liable for anything. i counter that based on nissan's position, i am holding nissan corporation, mossy nissan, and nhtsa liable for any injuries which result from injury from an accident and also pain and suffering and any additional distress, especially if the airbag or other safety system fails. the nissan airbag system can lead to a fatality even with an adult 150+ lbs. just prior to an accident, the drive may become rough and the passenger can shift around. for a 150+ lb adult to defeat the airbag system, momentarily lift 1/2 your weight off the seat, as can occur due to movement just prior to an accident. the passenger airbag off light will turn on. immediately drop your weight back into the seat, the passenger airbag system will remain off for 10 seconds, the passenger airbag won't deploy in the crash. nhtsa should require nissan to recall this vehicle and lower the weight sensor to 80 lbs - and also program the flash memory so that the once the seatbelt is fastened, the passenger weight is determined and doesn't change (a passenger doesn't lose 40 lbs just because the road is bumpy) - sensors should mainly determine passenger position, not weight. a better system would have weight sensors in the back seat floor. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1717 miles.

Nissan Altima 2009 Steering Review #10490146 NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 car safety problem was reported on Nov 15, 2012.NISSAN ALTIMA 2009, manufactured by Nissan North America, Inc. had a problem with STEERING . my husband went to start his 2009 nissan altima one afternoon to pick up our daughter from the bus stop and the car would not start. it was not something simple as a battery or starter and there was no way to start the car. it completely locked up. we ended up having to have the car towed and discovered that the steering lock unit was broken. the repair shop did research and testing and found out that this is a known issue from nissan with no recall. nissan indicated that this was not a safety issue and therefore no recall was necessary. our concern is that nissan knowing that they have a defective part, where they know their cars will not start at any given time without warning and in fact may potentially place their consumers in an unsafe situation. not to mention the cost of the repair is steep and it is a repair that the consumer is responsible for at no fault of their own. also another concern is if the replacement part is truly an "updated version" or still has the defect? is this bound to happen again at any given time not knowing when or where, and also rack up another costly repair? i have researched and came across multiple websites of hundreds of other altima owners that have had the same thing happen. we sent a letter to nissan expressing our concerns but also wanted to make sure that this situation pertaining to the steering lock unit is brought up to your attention to be reviewed and considered as a recall. thank you for your time.

Nissan Altima 2009 Service BrakesNissan Altima 2009 Service Brakes Review #10500711 NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 20, 2013.NISSAN ALTIMA 2009, manufactured by Nissan North America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . had stopped to get breakfast. locked my car and upon returning unlocked the car and tried to start vehicle with no success. there was no response from my car. when the tow truck arrived i then learned that the brakes were stiff and steering wheel did not want to turn. we had it towed to nissan dealer. after leaving it there i did some investigating online about potential problems. was shocked to see how many people had the same problem as me presently and past. apparently, several people found themselves in similar situations with getting no help from nissan of north america with replacement of the steering lock mechanism. i had yet to hear if this was my problem but was given the sad/expensive news a day later that indeed i would be included in the growing number of nissan owners who would have to pay to have this faulty part replaced. but the fun didn't stop there. the part is on backorder (because so many are needed) until further notice and there are recalls on my car that no one bothered to tell me about. i called nissan and left a message with a customer service rep who was going to forward my concern onto a regional concern specialist. when she called me back two days later she informed me that it is not nissans job to let their owners/drivers know about recalls but the dealers job. in addition, she's pretty sure that no help will be given to replace the part that will cost me 700 dollars. but she would ask and call me back three days later. she is supposed to call me tomorrow with the answer. shocked is the only word that comes to mind about my situation. i can't believe that this part has caused so many people so many problems but it is not on a recall list somewhere. is there nothing to be done for it? even the service tech at the dealer has told me that they have replaced several. my car was parked when it quit responding but someone could be driving. help! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 48000 miles.

(fyi:to get it out of park into neutral, there's a thing you pop off next to the shifter and you have to push something down into that hole.) once we got it to the dealership, they had no ramps we could use to get the car off the trailer so we had to use flimsy four-wheeler ramps we had. they called me after having my car there about an hour and a half just to tell me that they would have to order the part and i would have to leave the car there for up to a week. this was on tuesday and i had called that previous friday, so they knew what the problem was and had my vin number. i don't understand why they couldn't have ordered the part after i called that friday. i asked if they had a loaner car i could drive until i got my car back, they said all the loaner cars were out (which means they're working on a lot of vehicles). all in all, i'm pretty ticked off at nissan. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Nissan Altima 2009 problem was reported in WALDRON, AR.

Nissan Altima 2009 Electrical SystemNissan Altima 2009 Electrical System Review #10564304 NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 08, 2014.NISSAN ALTIMA 2009, manufactured by Nissan North America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . this past saturday 2/8/14 at approximately 9pm i ran to the store. after shopping when getting back into my car it would not crank; it's like the car did not recognize the key. steering wheel was locked, brake was stiff and red key light appeared on dashboard. i tried everything, nothing. i had to call my husband, to come get me. luckily i didn't go far!! we had the car towed monday morning to the dealership where it was purchased and were informed it was an issue with the sensor in the ignition recognizing the key fob and that it would be covered under extended warranty. the part to fix this problem is however on back order and they cannot give me a definite answer as to when it will be received? on wednesday 2/13 i was provided with a rental until our car is repaired so at least i have transportation for work. our car has less than 20,000k miles (i know i don't travel too far) and is paid for, so this is very disturbing. i suppose as long as it's fixed and is warrantied for any future issues for this same problem, i will have to deal with it - but this could be a very dangerous and inconvenient situation to place people in. if this is a known problem there needs to be a recall to alert customers to the situation. our dealership has been very pleasant to deal with, have been accommodating, just can't answer the "when the part will be here question"; which isn't their fault; i have no complaints with them they have been great. i would just like the problem to be acknowledged so that others don't have to suffer the same inconvenience and possible danger of having this happen to them. from previous posts this is not an issue that just happened to me! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 18800 miles.

Nissan Altima 2009 Electrical SystemNissan Altima 2009 Electrical System Review #10663555 NISSAN ALTIMA 2009 car safety problem was reported on Dec 07, 2014.NISSAN ALTIMA 2009, manufactured by Nissan North America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . the car would not start and a dash light indicated a small key. when i pushed the start button nothing happened. it was diagnosed as an electronic steering column lock (escl). after researching the issue, i found that this is a known issue with this particular make/model/year of nissan specifically (2009 nissan altima). as a result of this knowledge, nissan placed that part under extended warranty. that however does not appear to be enough, since many of the issues don't begin until after the extended warranty is up, as in our case. the cost of the repair is approximately $1,100.00. i contacted both the dealer and nissan directly for assistance, asking that they cover the part, especially since the extended warranty had just expired in august. of course, they chose not to help in anyway. it's my understanding that when this part fails it does not give much if any warning. you simply come out to start your car one day and it does not start or attempt to turn over. nissan choosing to extend the warranty on a part we knew nothing about having issues, does us no good. a recall however would be more appropriate, i feel, in this situation. many drivers are having the issues after all warranties have expired and the cost is theirs to cover. when it's a known defective part, that does not seem fair..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 81000 miles.

Nissan Altima 2009 Reports
i took my 2005 nissan xterra to a dealership in long beach ca, to have them run a diagnostic test on why my check engine would go off. I drove off having more problems then a had when i took my vehicle into be tested. i paid 1'323.28 for a battery what does it mean when I put my 2004 Nissan Altima in drive and it takes it about 10 or seconds before it will go into drive. The weird thing is I can go into reverse with no problem or lower gear it goes I have a problem with my 2005 Nissan TPMS. After about 10 miles, the reading on the display changes to "**" for 1 of the 4 tires and the low pressure warning light comes on. I've checked pressure on the tires and they are all fine. The dealer t Why my 2008 Nissan maxima flat tire light keep on even we filled air full? i am getting zzon zoon sound from air compressor nissan maxima gxe model1997.what i have to do get its serving or replace the air compressor?please reply. hi would it cause the brakes to lock on if the brake light switch was fitted in the wrong postion on a 4 pin switch nissan tiida?. Crossed jumped my cars battery for 2 sec. Now car will crank but not start 2010 Nissan Frontier Extended Cab and five foot bed vibrates when starting off from a dead stop.....only lasts a second and again only when starting from a dead stop....dealers answer was has an 80,000 mile power train warranty, drive it till it b This is my 2nd quest. I've owned this one over a year. Do the sliding doors not have sensors? My other 05' did. My 1 year old got her fingers caught, thank God it was nothing major, but it could have been. Why would they not have sensors??? This can result in gradual wear over a period of time inside the joint that could lead to the separation of the wiper linkage assembly from the wiper motor linkage at the joint ball. I have a 05 nissan maxima with 35,000 miles. I'm not having a problem at this time. I would like to know if a transgo Kit for the valvebody will help to prevent future problems with the transmission. I have a 01 Niss UD 2600 No Fuel aqt the inj pump but fuel getting to the pump its been very cold and i have changed both filters. i was told there is a crank sensor in the inj. pump where is it?? And How do i check it
