| 2007 | TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS | NO PARTICULAR EVENTS; LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. NOT SURE OF OCCURRENCE INTERVAL BUT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THAT THE LIGHT STAYS ON CONTINUOUSLY AND OCCASIONALLY STARTS TO BLINK RESULTING IN DRIVER CONCERN OVER NOTHING. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY "NO PROBLEM WITH SENSORS BUT RECOMMEND SETTING AIR PRESSURE TO 38 PSI TO GET LIGHT TO STAY OFF" WHICH IS 6PSI ABOVE AIR PRESSURE DECAL ON DOOR FRAME THAT RECOMMENDS 32 PSI. THEY SAY THIS PRESSURE (38 PSI) WILL NOT IMPACT TIRE WEAR WHICH I DISAGREE WITH COMPLETELY AS WELL AS IF YOU HAVE A 10% PRESSURE BUILD UP FROM NORMAL DRIVING IT WOULD EXCEED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER MAXIMUM TIRE PRESSURE OF 41PSI. *TR |
| 2006 | STEERING | TODAY WHILE DRIVING, MY DAUGHTER STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, AND WHEN SHE PROCEEDED TO TURN RIGHT, HER STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND SHE ALSO LOST THE USE OF THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME. WHAT IS HAPPENING???? LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR, BUT HAD SHE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN (OR EVEN FAIR WEATHER), SHE MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED OR MAIMED FOR LIFE. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, TO ME OR ANYONE I KNOW. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HER SAFETY. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. PLEASE TELL ME HOW I SHOULD PROCEED, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A SHOP AND NOTHING IS SHOWING UP ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. SHE WILL BEGIN HER FIRST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE IN A MONTH, AND WILL BE COMMUTING OVER 30 MILES EACH WAY, 3 TIMES PER WEEK, OVER BODIES OF WATER (NAMELY, LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN). PLEASE I AM VERY WORRIED WHAT MAY HAPPEN IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WHEN SHE IS ON THE INTERSTATE!!! I CHECKED NISSAN'S RECALL DATABASE, AND IT MENTIONS THE ENGINE GOING DEAD FOR NO REASON, BUT MY DAUGHTER SAID THE ENGINE DID NOT GO OFF, THE STEERING LOCKED AS IF THE CAR WERE IN PARK. *TR |
