1. Break switch needed replacing and now the issue is happening again as far occasionally loses power causing some potential safety issues in pulling out into traffic. 2. Both passenger and driver interior door handles do not open door which is a major issue as the only way to open doors is to roll window down. In an emergency this could cause serious threat to safety if windows can not be rolled down.

The squeals and grinding noises occur whenever i push the brakes to stop or put the car in reverse to backup. For the last replacement of…

The brakes on the 2013 nissan altima squeak, when backing up. I had this looked at three times and the brakes are fine so there must be a manufacturing defect.

I was in an accident and the air bags did not deploy. My children and i were injured. I serviced my car at nissan for the airbag recall twice. I received a recall from nhtsa and nissan wouldn't comply. Every time i've taken my car for the brake pads to be serviced i only need rotors never brake pads! The driver side door handle broke for no reason what so ever this car is a clunker!

In less than three years and just over 36,000 miles we have serviced the transmission 3-4 times (i've lost count), had it brought in for brake noise (screeching) at least 4 times, and just this week the bearings in both rear wheels had to be replaced. The brakes screech is ear splitting. They reconditioned the surface of the rotors, re-shimmed the pads and replaced the pads 9 months ago. I warned them then that i…
