general problems of the 2008 Nissan Altima - part 2

On several occasions I have tried to start the car but the brake resists being pressed in. I press the push to start button but the car does not start, only the dashboard lights and radio come on (as though I am not pushing the break in). I took my car to the dealership and they said I needed to replace my brake switch and harness for the low, low price of $500. The problem is intermittent so they cannot guarantee that it will fix the problem. This needs to be addressed by Nissan immediately, as I see all over the web that everyone with a 2007 or 2008 Altima is having this problem. What are recalls for except for precisely this type of issue??.

The automatic door system in this car is non-functional, all 4 door do not lock or open. It has to be done manually.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the intelligent key would not unlock the doors for a considerable amount of time. After the doors were unlocked, the contact attempted to start the vehicle but the no key warning light illuminated. The contact then changed the batteries in the key fob but the failure recurred. The vehicle had not been repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 35,000. Kmj.

The lock/unlock electrical system has gone out. The only way that the doors can be locked or unlocked is by manually doing it with the key outside the car or your hands inside the car.

The passenger airbag not on" light has been intermittently flashing. It now remains lit (passenger airbag off) when the seat is unoccupied and when a full grown adult or child sits in the passenger seat. I called Nissan and gave them all my information and they informed me that my car was not included in the recall of campaign 08v521000, even though the conditions for repair fit the description. I want Nissan to repair this malfunction so that no one his hurt in my car.

Drove car to work. After 3 hours of work went to start car, was able to open door but could not start car. Changed batteries in Smart key, still would not start. Had car towed to Nissan dealership. They informed us that it was the steering lock mechanism, a $1400 dollar repair. I called 1-800-nissan1 and argued with them for day's. They finally agreed to pay for the parts but I'm stuck with $311 in labor costs, and we lost our car for nine day's. . Nissan refused to pay for a rental car. This needs to be a recall and people need to be reimbursed. Nissan will not guarantee me that this will not happen again as it is the same parts. Something needs to be done!!!!.

Driver door power window control panel not working to operate front passenger window at all.

Tl ¿ the contact owns a 2008 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the dashboard in the vehicle was deteriorating. The dashboard was melting into other components in the vehicle and created a foul odor. In addition, the air conditioning was inoperable. The dealer stated that the dashboard and evaporator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown. Jcc.

My 2008 Altima with push button start has failed to start twice. Once at 25,000 miles and again at 50,000 miles. Both times the dealer replaced the brake switch which solved the problem. The second time the dealer took the switch apart and the contacts were pitted.

I recently had a service call with my Nissan dealer to fix a intermittant starting issue (push button start) on my 2008 Nissan Altima. It turns out that the brake light switch was defective and needed to be replaced. I believe that this is a safety issue that should be looked at since Nissan does not believe it warrants a recall. If it were not for the intermittant starting problem I would not have known that my brake lights were not working. Given that this is intermitant the vehicle does have the possibility to start yet later not have brake lights functioning. With the replacement of the switch the issue has gone away.

I recently having issue with my brake light coming on and off at random times. Which after researching online it appears to be a common issue for many others, with brake leaks. I have noticed a slight difference in the brake effectiveness, which causes concern for me. I have an 2008 Nissan Altima 2. 5 se with roughly 56,000 miles. I bought this car used with only 22k miles roughly in 2009 and have other issues with electrical work in the radio. The radio has already been replaced by the dealership when it was still under warranty and now it is happening again where my volume dial doesn't turn the volume up or down it locks between three volume numbers and at times the screen fades in and out.

As I got off the interstate (driving 60 mph) then reduced my speed to 20 when I tried to accelerate it wouldn't go!! it would not accelerate and my rpm would climb up to 4 or 5! I had to drive all the way back home on interstate driving 20 mpg!!! it's happened only when I travel long distances!! I am highly dissatisfied with the Altima! everyone I encountered about the 2006-2008 Altima regrets getting one.

Would like to bring to your attention a defect that I believe needs to be corrected in at least some, if not all, of Nissan, latest Altima vehicles. The problem occurs when the car is left running and the vehicle doors are closed with the remote "keyless". This problem could create a serious safety & health issue if a driver forgets to shut off the engine before using the remote key to close the vehicle doors.

While driving down road a strong odor of gasoline would fill the inside of car also had smell of antifreeze inside car took it to paul barnett Nissan in brookhaven they could not duplicate the problem car was sluggish while driving and the radio went out twice . The interior lights would become very bright and dim while driving.

2008 Altima has push start button that won't work at random times. Dealer has not been able to resolve the issue. They have asked me to stomp on the brake pedal real hard when this happens to engage the brake sensor so the car would start. Still unresolved and I'm unhappy.

There were no events leading up to the failure. The car had been parked all night and at 330 a. M. It caught on fire. It had never been any problems with the vehicle. The fire department was called and they put out the fire. They said that the electrical fuse box caught on fire.

I have a 2008 Nissan Altima. It has a push button star/stop switch and no keys are needed. I accidentally left the car in drive and pushed the off button and left the car. The car turned off and rolled out of the parking lot and into oncoming traffic. I was not in the vehicle at the time. This is very dangerous.

First day for pick up, headlight pop, fix it the next day, took 90 minutes just to fix one headlight, after 6 weeks, car turns off when driving one of the most busiest hwy and the steering locks; only way to start it is by putting it to "park" hold brakes down all the way then push the button and coming from that, it was not safe at all, drivers were honking and swerving just to maneuver away from me, called dealership to where I purchase car to fix the problem, told them that the car had turned off 4 times on the same hwy and thank god it turned off on a straight away not while turning, showed them a video in which I intend to hold for evidence. Drop it off 7:00am, dealership had said about codes; there was nothing wrong with the car and had replug every plug that was on the car in which it would be reset, gave car back within 9 hours saying the car will not turn off again and if it happens again bring it back. After a week and a half, the car had turned off plus with the gauges(not knowing the speed I was going) and radio display went out and this is when it was raining hectic and I wasn't able to use high beams automatically to where it locks forward but to pull it towards me manually while driving. Already told dealership that this car is a big concern on the road for safety because when it turns off I become a crashing incident in which if that happens I will blame Nissan for that.
