 My car shut of on me while driving at night which was hard to see because the headlamps didn't give much light and both airbags deployed and my seat belts don't work either...i own a 2003 nissan altima...the car would usually turn of on me like that but not a higher speeds...the car's engine has been making a loud noise it had 3 recalls for it( headlamp recall, engine exhaust recall, & engine cooling recall) before i had this done i had a service engine light on which came out as p0420, p0240, and had 3 p0335...after i had the recall done...a week later my car blew a head gasket and i had a code p0300...i immediately got it fixed for like $1300...after that...2 weeks later i got a service engine light on which came out as p0335, p0240, & p0420...i've also been in contact with nissan consumer affairs...i've been in touch with a regional specialist which can't really help me at all...nissan dealer like to take money for diagnosis and tells me the car is unsafe to drive...my car still shuts off and sometimes it doesn't even start...when the car start up it makes a loud engine noise...so right now my car shuts off at any speed rate now just low speeds, i don't have airbags in the car, engine makes a loud noise, sounds like there's something like a rock in the catalytic converter, and my car's seat belts don't work. *tr

 I have been having numerous problems with my car moving very slowly,not staying in the road, pulling away from me. i have to drive my car with 2 hands to keep in the road. i have took it back to the dealer numerous times and they have told me many different problems that might be wrong with my car. when i finally decided to take it to another maintenance shop just to make sure i was being told the truth. after 30 min of having my vehicle i was told by a goodyear manager that i have 3x the wrong size tires on my vehicle. he told me that i should have 205/65/16 tires on my car and i have 225/60/16 tires on my vehicle. i am furious because i purchased this car from the dealership with those tires on my car and have taken my car in there several times to be maintenance and service and they knew that was the problem with the vehicle. my car is not a steady vehicle i feel unsafe in this car. i have to constantly hold it still in the road. when it rain i feel like i wreck at anytime. i have a small child and it hurts me to know that i have taken my car in there several times and not one time have they said anything about my tires. i have had those tires aligned and balance but the tech told me it would do me no good because the tires are 3 times to big. please help i think they should replace my tires with the right size. also my seat belts on the car will not extract i have taken this to the dealer several times and they will pull them out but when i leave after about 4 to 5 days my belts will get stuck again i also had my seat belts checked and was told it is a manufacturing problems and nissan will not fix the problem. they told me flat out it is not there problem i can not pull a seat belt. i have to let my daughter ride in the back at times without a seat belt until i can find someone to fix the problem. the seat belts are getting hung from the core of the entrance but they will not fix the problem. **nm

 Dt*: the contact stated while driving 30-35 mph, a child located behind the driver seat became caught in the seat belt. the child began to yell because the seat belt was tightening which caused the child to choke. the child was cut out of the seat belt with scissors. on many occasions, the driver seat belt tightened so bad the contact was forced to unlatch the seat belt to escape being choked also.

 On my 2003 nissan altima there is a squeaking noise when the drivers seat belt is engaged. it's very annoying and if i hold and apply pressure the squeaking will stop. it's not a continuous squeak; however, it's whenever i move or whenever the brake is engaged. on 10/07, the service department at the dealer's sprayed some sort of dry lubricant....but still squeaks. i think i need a whole new part installed. i'm not talking about the whole seat belt, but the part that the seat belt hooks into next to the drivers seat. it drives me nuts! *la
