2008 NISSAN ALTIMA Suspension Problems

Suspension and steering issues purchased many new tires throughout the yrs to find out it had suspension issues. There are 4 recalls listed on my insurance policy that describes exactly what's been wrong with my car since purchased. When calling nissan and checking your data base my vin # has never had any recalls for these issues but is obvious this make and model has been affected as well. Please look into this some more car is not safe and we were sold a lemon from day 1. Going back and forth to dealership lies and mechanics to find out it's always been a suspension issue I don't know the exact terms but suspension and some type of electric issue just as the recalls stated on my insurance policy description. Please advise or help Nissan make this right to keep our streets and cars safe while on the road. I...

The contact owned a 2008 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at approximately 80 MPH, the steering wheel became stiff, and the contact lost control of the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. As a result, the contact crashed into a concrete barrier. The front of the vehicle was severely damaged including the front driver and front passenger side doors. The air bags were deployed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard where it was deemed destroyed and discarded. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed for the failure. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a concussion, whiplash on her neck, and bruising on her nose that required medical attention.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while making a left turn into a parking at an undisclosed speed, the front driver’s side tire detached from the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that each of the lug nuts had sheared off the wheel. The wheel was underneath the vehicle. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to his home. The contact then called the manufacturer and was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V363000 (Suspension). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

PURCHASED 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA ON MARCH 6, 2021 FROM THE CAR HOUSE IN BUTLER, NJ. SINCE THE MOMENT I DROVE OFF THE LOT, MULTIPLE LIGHTS TURNED ON WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE ALTERNATOR AND MULTIPLE 02 SENSORS. THE NEXT DAY I HAD A GARAGE DO AN INSPECTION AND IT TURNED OUT THE CAR NEEDED A REAR CONTROL ARM, SHOCKS, BRAKES AND ROTORS IN ADDITON TO THE LIGHTS. THE DEALER SAID THAT I HAD A 90 DAY WARRANTY BUT WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE CONTRACT. THE DEALER FIXED THE SENSORS AND ALTERNATOR SUPPOSEDLY, BUT HAVEN'T CONTACTED ME BACK ABOUT FIXING THE OTHER ISSUES AND EVERY TIME I CALL THEY HANG UP.

MY SPRINGS ON BOTH REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER BROKE INTO PIECES AND POPPED MY TIRES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS NO WARNING I JUST HAD BRAKES AND INSPECTION DONE A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND LAST WEEK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY MY TIRE BASICALLY BLEW APART, WHEN EXAMINING WE NOTICED THE SPRINGS HAD BROKEN AND RUBBED AGAINST THE TIRES CAUSING THEM TO POP. IM LUCKY I SLOWED DOWN IN TIME WE COULD'VE HAD A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT AND IM SO UPSET ABOUT IT.

PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUSPENSION THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE SLOWS/STALLS WHEN DRIVEN IN HIGH HEAT WEATHER DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW/STALL.

THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED AND IS NOW A SHINY STICKY BLACK SURFACE THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I DID NOT USE ANY CHEMICALS ON THE DASHBOARD BEFORE THIS STARTED APPEARING. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD EMITS GASES THAT FOG THE WINDOW AND CANNOT BE FIXED BY DEFROST. *TR

THE FOLLOWING HAD TO BE FIXED ALL ON ONE VISIT: MY ALTERNATOR REPLACED; TOP MOTOR MOUNT REPLACED, BRAKE SENSOR REPLACED, BATTERY REPLACED, AND HAD AN OIL COOLER LEAK FIXED. ALL WAS COVERED WITH MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ($858 OTHERWISE). IT HAS HAD A TOTAL OF 4 BATTERIES, 2 ALTERNATORS, 2 MANNA FOLDS (A RECALL), NEW SHOCKS AND STRUTS (I PAID FOR) AND MY TRANSMISSION WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 120,000 MILES. (THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER RECALL TO THE FUEL TANK BUT CAN'T REMEMBER ANY SPECIFICS). I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY CAR, HAVE IT MAINTAINED REGULARLY, AND ONLY USE QUALITY GAS. THIS IS MY FOURTH NISSAN AND I AM GREATLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY. I AM DEBATING AS TO WHETHER OR NOT I SHOULD TRADE IT IN. *TR

REAR SWAY BAR SNAPPED ON DRIVERS SIDE. BAR IS HOLLOW. CAR IS DRIVEN ON FREEWAYS 90% OF THE TIME, SO NO HARD TURNS. *TR

I WENT TO HAVE MY FLUIDS CHANGED AND MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE REAR SWAY BAR ON MY CAR WAS SNAPPED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THE PART THAT NISSAN SHOULD FIX. THIS SHOULD PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. THANK YOU *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SWAY BAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS BROKEN. HE SAID THAT IT HAD TO HAVE BEEN BROKEN FOR AWHILE BECAUSE THE ENDS WERE RUSTED AND THEY NORMALLY DO NOT CORRODE THAT QUICKLY. HE SAID THAT IT WAS A CLEAN BREAK. UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE 2007 MODEL. WELL, MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2007. I AM A RESPONSIBLE DRIVER AND I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME WHY THE PART WOULD BREAK UNLESS IT WAS DEFECTIVE. *TR

THE LEFT REAR TORSION/ANT-ISWAY BAR SUSTAINED COMPLETE FRACTURE AT THE END. NOTHING HIT IT. IT APPEARED TO BE DUE TO CORROSION. IT WAS INSPECTED BY CONYERS NISSAN SERVICE AND THE ADVISOR AGREED THIS WAS PROBABLY DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

CAR NOT STABLE. IT WANDERS AND PITCHES. STEERING IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. REQUIRES CONSTANT CORRECTING. SEEMS VERY UNSTABLE ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH AND HIGHER. SEEMS TO PITCH FROM CORNER TO CORNER. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM HANLESS HILLTOP NISSAN, RICHMOND, CA FOR MYSELF ON MARCH 30, 2008. I DROVE THE CAR ONE DAY AND RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER TO INQUIRE AS TO WHAT VEHICLE WAS GIVEN TO ME, BECAUSE IS WAS NOT THE VEHICLE THAT I TEST DROVE, I WAS TOLD BY MY SALE PERSON THAT IT WAS THE VEHICLE THAT WAS TEST DRIVEN. THE REASON I WENT BACK TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE VEHICLE WAS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE CAR DROVE. BASICALLY, THE CAR DRIVES LIKE AN OLD BEAT UP 1955 VEHICLE. THE CARS STEERING IS ALL OVER THE ROAD, IT FEELS UNSAFE. THE CAR BOTTOMED OUT SEVERAL TIMES, EVEN AFTER I HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.. WELL, AFTER MY CONTINUED COMPLAINTS, HANLESS NISSAN FINALLY AGREED THERE WAS A...
