Consumer Description

2002 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S, WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE ALTIMA JUST CUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE STEERING LOCKED NOT GIVING ME TIME TO PULL OVER OFF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. TWICE AT HIGH SPEED AND 2 TIMES AT LOW SPEED AND ONCE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ACTUALLY SPOKE TO ONE DRIVER WITH THE SAME EXACT CAR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THAT DRIVER TOOK THE CAR IN, AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR TO DEALER AT A RATE OF $110.00 TO HAVE IT CHECKED . SOMEONE SHOULD RECALL ALL THESE CARS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR SO MANY PEOPLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, NOT INCLUDING THE ONE'S THAT HAVE NOT TAKEN OUT TIME TO VOICE THEIR COMPLAINTS. PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY RECALLS INVOLVING THIS MATTER. I ALSO, HAD OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE KNOCKING FROM THE ENGINE, AND THE AIR CONDITIONER. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THEY AGAIN CLAIMED THEY DIDN'T T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE AND NOT AFTER SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. *AK
