What owners wrote
My 2009 nissan altima VIN number [xxx] has many safety issues that are not being reported with my VIN number. The struts, steering lock box{which I paid 900.00 to repair], ABS speed control sensor,engine oil coolant and most of all the CVT transmission have went out on my car and nissan will not help me repair. So I am forced to attempt this last try before joining a class action law suit. I have only had the car 2 years and now I am out 9000.00 and the repairs are more than the car is worth.
