Consumer Description

MY ALTIMA IS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD AND DID NOT START 4X ALREADY. IT SEEMS TO DO THIS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. MY STEERING WHEEL IS VIBRATING CONSTANTLY AND I CAN FEEL A VIBRATION WITH MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THERE IS A LOUD NOISE LIKE A CONSTANT DENTIST DRILL UNDER MY HOOD THAT IS LOUDER EVERY TIME I TURN. THE DEALERSHIP JUST REPLACED MY POWER STEERING PUMP AND THERE IS NO CHANGE! MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE CAR. IT WILL GO OFF DURING DRIVE TIME. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I HAVE MY PURSE, A BAG, HEAVY BOOKS OR A PERSON-IT SPORADICALLY GOES OFF AND ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE KNOWING THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH! LITHIA NISSAN HAS CHECKED THE SENSOR, BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT. I OWNED A 2008 ALTIMA AND 2011 ALTIMA THAT NEVER REQUIRED SERVICE OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES AND AIR IN MY TIRES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS 2015 PIECE OF JUNK! I CAN HEAR WIND NOISE NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM DRIVING. I FEEL LIKE I AM IN A CRASH TEST EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN. NISSAN TECH SAID IT IS THE NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. HONDA, LEXUS, TOYOTA, MERCEDES AND AUDI HAVE CVT AND IT IS A SMOOTH RIDE! WHY DOES NISSAN CVT JERK YOU AROUND? THE CAR IS SO CHEAPLY MADE THE SPEAKERS ARE POPPED UP AND PAINT IS CHIPPING. I HAVE REPORTED MY ISSUES TO NISSAN CORP. AND BBB. THE NEWEST ISSUE IS THE RPM REV UP AS I SIT AT RED LIGHTS. I WANT NISSAN TO REBUY THIS CAR BACK!
