NHTSA Complaint #10159097 — 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA

I PURCHASED A 2006 2.5 S NISSAN IN GOOD FAITH. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT AS LONG AS THE OIL CHANGES ARE ALWAYS CURRENT I WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR BLOWING UP. I AM A 25 YEARS OLD YOUNG WOMAN WITH A CHILD, AND I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE THAT RISK. OF COURSE I WILL CHANGE MY OIL, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS CAR CAUSING IT TO EXPLODE. I TRIED TALKING TO SOME ONE AT YOUR CAR SAFETY COMMISSION AND WAS TOLD THAT UNTIL THE CAR BLOWS UP, THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. WELL I CAN'T COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE AND HAVE IT FIXED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ALL ARE WILLING TO LET SOMEONE DIE BEFORE REACTING ON SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *JB
