Regular driving. I went to park car and could not take out of gear only able to put the car in neutral and leave key in ignition . The car rolled into and was stopped by curbing, thankfully, before rolling into a busy road. The shift lock solenoid on nissan altima locked up. The shift lock solenoid and shift lock control module were replaced and old parts kept by dealer. *tr

Nissan has admitted via a letter that certain vehicles (mine is one) are subject to high oil consumption and the result could be a fire in the vehicle. Nissan has attempted to correct this by: changing the oil and filter, promising to monitor the level - subject to another trip to the dealer- at 700 subsequent miles, they will then provide an unknown 'fix' to the issue if the oil level has decreased to their…
