| Description of the problem | Several things are wrong or gone bad. Nissan suppose to be awesome vehicles with good reputation but tell you if i had known or could have for seen all the trouble, wow. 1. Have had problems with steering wheel locking, ok that was fixed it has done it again. Module is bad. 2. Had to replace transmission very costly 3000, and was told that in a couple yrs would need it again. Push button start is part of the locking issue so why is this not fixed from what i have read it's an ongoing problem, actually the same issues with my 2009 altima is exactly what thousands of others are going through, why is this not fixed why are we all still having these problems, my car is taken all the way to nissan dealership in louisville ky. Oh about 45-to an hour away, for all regular maintaining, all the way down to the oil changes. Like i said nissan suppose to be superior vehicles this has been a nightmare, i can't afford to pay the price of fixing the car every time i turn around. Trade in on it sucks, resale privately does too. Something needs done, how many hundreds of thousands of people have the same problems with their altima |
