"TAKATA RECALL" I GOT MY BRAKES DONE AT TO DIFFERENT REPAIR PLACES AND MY BRAKES ARE STILL SQUEEZING, SO I WENT BACK FOR THEM TO CHANGE MY ROTORS, BRAKES ARE STILL SQUEEZING. NOW WHEN I DRIVE I HEAR LOUD SQUEEZING AND MY BRAKES SOUNDS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO STOP.
MY ENGINE IS MAKING A RADDLING NOISE EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE THEN GOES INTO AN EVEN WORSE NOISE LIKE THERE'S SOME SORT OF CRACK IN THE CASING OR A LOOSE BOLT INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE BREAKS SQUEAK EVERY TIME I GO INTO A STOP MOTION. I'VE MADE A APPOINTMENT BEFORE WITH CARMAX BEFORE AND THEY'VE SPENT 5 HOURS IN WHICH NONE OF THE INITIAL ISSUES THAT I DROVE TO AUSTIN FOR. AND SINCE THAT APPOINTMENT NO ONE HAS ANSWERED MY CALLS TO SET UP ANOTHER AND THE TWO MAJOR ISSUES ARE JUST GETTING WORSE.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA MY WIFE HAD PULLED INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND "PUSHED" THE STOP ENGINE BUTTON WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER WAS IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS OUT INTO THE STREET INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE WERE LUCKY IT DIDN'T CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT! THIS CARS GEAR SHIFT "DOES NOT" HAVE TO BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO "PUSH" THE BUTTON THAT STOPS THE ENGINE IT CAN BE IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND THE CAR WILL START ROLLING IF IT IS ON A HILL!. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE WITH-OUT THE ENGINE RUNNING YOU LOSE ALL YOUR POWER STEERING AND BRAKES! IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HILL OR STEEP MOUNTAIN GRADE THE CAR COULD ROLL OVER A CLIFF OR OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC! I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS MALFUNCTION MANY TIMES AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD "THE CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED" PLEASE HAVE THEM CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE IS KILLED! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY STOPPED AND WHEN I APPLIED HARD PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES THEY DID NOT REACT QUICKLY, CAUSING THE CAR TO CONTINUE ROLLING AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED - THE FIRST TIME BEING IN EARLY SEPTEMBER. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS EITHER STATIONARY OR BARELY MOVING AND A HARD BRAKE DIDN'T RESPOND LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS IS THIRD NISSAN I HAVE HAD (07 SENTRA, 99 ALTIMA), AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM AND AM FAMILIAR WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR
