| Description of the problem | I agree with others about nissan needing to repurchase/compensate for all the issues. This vehicle feels very unsafe and they just push it all off. The power steering makes varying loud,annoying,distracting, whining noises the entire time you drive it. The car hesitates and jerks while driving or trying to drive from a stop which feels very unsafe and makes me worry about being hit. There are so many problems that are unsafe with the 2015 altima and nissan refuses to admit them and constantly says "everything is normal" or 'its the way that transmission works". A huge waste of time and energy trying to deal with nissan. They also kept insisting to me that the airbag light coming on while a grown adult was seated was "normal" as well until all of a sudden there was a recall... Just to show how they lie and cover everything up . I bought this car brand new in december 2015 and have had these issues since. Have been to dealership many times for the issues as well as having a nissan tech come to assess but of course everyone sticks together and states it "all normal". There are also problems that are not safety issues but value issues such as the xm service that is horrible but you pay for and the cheap build of the vehicle/paint. |
