What owners wrote
I just bought a 200 nissan altima. I was driving to hilton head and 2 hours into the trip the cruise control went off and then the air bag light came on. I kept giving it gas and it just started slowing down. We got hit from behind and spun around. I broke my nose and my girlfriend broke her hip in 3 places.
My odometer, heat gauge, rmp, and gas gauge goes out while driving and nissan headquarters will do nothing about. There also has been other cases reported to nissan.
