NHTSA Complaint #10351067 — 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN JULY 2007. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES @16,000 MILES. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASH ALWAYS COMING ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE A/C COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MI. THE SECOND YEAR I OWNED IT, AT A COST OF $750.00. NOW, JUST AFTER MY THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF OWNERSHIP THE REAR SWAY BAR HAS BROKEN. IN CHECKING ON THE INTERNET, I FIND THAT ALL THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS. HOWEVER THIS SWAY BAR PROBLEM IS A DANGER FOR PERSONAL SAFETY. THE BAR IS MADE OUT OF A HOLLOW TUBE AND IT RUSTED INTO CLOSE TO WHERE THE BAR JOINS THE FRAME. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT, HAD THE CAR TOWED OR DRIVEN ON ANYTHING BUT PAVED ROADS. IT JUST BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON OTHER THAN POOR MATERIALS. OF COURSE THIS IS NOT COVERED EITHER!!! I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AND OWNERS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR EXPENSE. *TR
