Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid based on all problems reported for the 2007 Altima Hybrid.
Was told car needed new hybrid battery, had replaced, next told inverter needed replacing, car still not working. Nissan engineer has now looked at car twice, last time 10/26 and still waiting to find out what is wrong. Vehicle stopped starting originally and was told hybrid battery pack.
My hybrid warning light came on and the car started to lose power on the highway. The dealer told me that the hybrid water pump had failed. Niacin did not have their own hybrid technology in 2007 so the hybrid system is from Toyota. Toyota has recalled the hybrid water pumps for that model year because of failures. When I told the dealer niacin of bourne in massachusetts about the issue and faxed him the information on the recall I asked him to contact niacin about the issue. He stated there where no currents recalls on the part and refused to inform niacin. I asked twice if he read the information I faxed he said they received it and he had not, he told me to call 1-800-nissan1. When I picked up the car I asked for the parts and was told that because I did not ask for the part in advance that they were thrown away. I called on niacin corp on November 15 and was told I would receive a call back by the end of business on November 16. I called two more times as of 1:25 pm 11/20/2012 no one has called me back. I believe that this may represent a significant safety issue in regards to the niacin Altima Hybrids since no one from niacin called me back I feel I have to filed this complaint.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) dear sir/ms. , I would like to inform you that my car (2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid) accelerated suddenly and abruptly (first forward and then backwards), full throttle, on February 21, 2010, when I was trying to park it in the garage. The brakes failed and the air bags did not deploy during this incident. As a result, there was major damage to the car, our home and personal property. The costs for repair of our home and car, and replacement of personal property are enormous (>$30k). I believe that this incident was caused by defective electronics/computer/ electrical systems installed in the car. Nissan has inspected the car, but has not taken any responsibility or accountability. I do not consider this vehicle safe, and accordingly, I do not intend to get it repaired. At the same time, I do not have another vehicle for use, and as a result I am immobile and going through great difficulties. Nissan has refused to cooperate and resolve this matter. I would like Nissan to take responsibility/accountability, pay for the damages to my home and personal property, take this car back, pay for an alternate vehicle, and waive all future payments to Nissan motor acceptance corporation (nmac), or refund all monies paid so far to nmac by me. I would appreciate if you could investigate this matter and resolve it to my satisfaction. Thank you for your help and support. [xxx] updated ivoq 10/29/10 updated ivoq 11/17/10.
