NHTSA complaint #10819878, filed 2016-01, 169,543 miles

“I have a 2006 Nissan Altima, that is constantly 5-7 MPH off. I am getting concerned because this is a hazard as I have been asked by the local city police for me to pick up my speed a little as I am restraining the flow of traffic by driving at or below what I believe is the speed limit. Also, I am really concerned since the factory tells you to use a certain size of tire, with me using their recommendation, this will cause the wheels to spin faster than what I am actually really going, thus saying I am traveling farther (mileage) than what I truly am. …”

“The vehicle was purchased new in 2006. Two weeks later the car would not crank and the engine had to be replaced. Shortly after, I noticed that the heating system did not work in the vehicle. When I placed my foot on the brake, the heat blew out cold air. I knew there was something wrong, therefore I called the dealership to report this problem and was told that is the way new models are made . This problem was not fixed. In the winter when the car is not moving (such as at a red light) cold air blows in the car, not heat. I have experienced rattling noises with my car. …”

“While driving home on the approach to the new york state thruway (rt. 87 north) there were several cars entering the nys thruway. Not more than 2 miles on the new york state thruway near exit 15a (sloatsburg) my vehicle hit a series of pot holes on the roadway. My tire went flat immediately and I was able to steer toward the shoulder at mile marker 31.5. I then proceeded to call my aaa emergency service and went on to let them know my exact location. While pulled over on the shoulder, there were 8 - 10 vehicles with the same problem. Nothing but flat tires! …”
