Nissan Altima Steering Safety Report | July 09, 2012
Reported on July 09, 2012
| WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF HAVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT. HAD THE ALIGNMENT FIXED. 7 MONTHS LATER I HAD THE CAR BACK IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT SAID THE AIR BAG WAS NOT TURNED ON. THIS OCCURRED WITH A 128 POUND GIRL IN THE SEAT AND ON ANOTHER OCCASION WITH A 215 POUND MAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF NECESSARY. LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER THAT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND NOW MY ELEC. STABILITY DID NOT START WORKING TILL ABOUT 15 MIN OF SLIPPING AROUND ON SNOW WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. EVER SINCE IT FINALLY CAME ON THE LIGHT NOW STAYS ON THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME AND OCCASIONALLY GOES OFF BUT THE ROADS HAVE BEEN BOTH WET AND COMPLETELY DRY WHEN THIS OCCURS. ALSO NOW MY STEERING WHEEL IS TILTED ABOUT 30 DEGREES TO THE LEFT WHEN I HAVE MY CAR DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT AWAY BECAUSE MY ALIGNMENT HAS WENT COMPLETELY OFF AGAIN BUT EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. | |
