NHTSA Complaint #10381591 — 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO A PRECISION DEALER IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. PRECISION TOLD ME THAT THE PART AFFECTED (CATALYTIC CONVERTER) HAD BEEN RECALLED BY NISSAN AND THE DEALER WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER, I WAS INFORMED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PART WAS RECALLED FOR SOME CARS, MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED. I ALSO CALLED UP NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIR AND THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY CAR. I HAD TO PAY THE PRICE FOR REPAIR MYSELF. WHEN I RESEARCHED ONLINE, I SAW TONS OF COMPLAINTS BY PEOPLE FOR A FAULTY CONVERTER THAT NISSAN FAILED TO HONOR. I AM FILING AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT BECAUSE I THINK THAT IF NISSAN KNOWS THAT A PART OF THEIRS IS UNDER RE-CALL FOR CERTAIN VINS AND OTHER DRIVERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THEY SHOULD ALSO GET THEIR PART RECALLED. *TR
