| Description of the problem | I bought a brand new nissan altima 2015 car. My car has been having issues. Right now, its mass air flow (maf) sensor failed which had caused safety concerns including drivability problems. The car at times dies in the middle of the road and its hard to control the car. I have infants in my car and i feel it is not safe for a brand new car to have issues. According to my dealer maf sensor is a known issue with nissan cars. Two days ago i nearly had an accident because of this issue. |
