Consumer Description

I OWN A 2003 NISSAN ALTIMA. BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK. ABOUT 4 MILES FROM MY HOME. (MY CAR IS RIGHT UNDER 107K MILES AT THE TIME). I WAS DRIVING NORMAL, OR CORRECTLY. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR SHUTS OFF! I HAVE TO JERK MY WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND BREAK MY CAR BEFORE I CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I AM SO THANKFUL I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS WERE PUT AT RISK THAT DAY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH YOUR CAR. THERE IS A RECALL FOR YOUR CAR, ACTUALLY QUITE A FEW, BUT THE ONE I'M MOST INTERESTED IN GETTING FIXED IS THE ONE THAT DETERMINES MY LIVELY HOOD. ALL I AM ASKING IS YOU PLEASE FIX THIS. I CAN GO WITHOUT THE AC OR HAVING WEAK HEADLIGHTS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH. I JUST CAN'T DEPEND ON THIS CAR TO NOT KILL ME ONE DAY. PLEASE, I AM BEGGING YOU. ONCE AGAIN FOR MY LIFE & THE LIVES OF MANY OTHERS THAT WILL BE INVOLVED. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM! I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE FOR THE ALTIMA OUT OF POCKET. RECALLED ON : 7/7/2006 INFLUENCED BY: OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION RECALLED FOR: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. *TR
