2013 Nissan Altima complaints

PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2014 WITH 36000 MILES. AROUND 55,000 MILES THE GEAR SHIFTER COMPLETELY WENT OUT. NOW I'M AT 107,000 MILES AND MY CAR IS STALLING WHEN STOPPED. THE CAR IS NOT READING ANYTHING ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I LIVE IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA SO THIS IS A VERY BIG DEAL.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VERY POOR LIGHTING FROM MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLAMPS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, LIGHTING IS TERRIBLE AND VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE MENTIONED TO DEALER MANY TIMES, AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL. I'M SHOCKED, AS I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE, AND THE NHTSB HAS NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. WHY IS NISSAN DOING NOTHING???

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE DIMMED OVER TIME TO THE POINT THAT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION TO ALLOW FOR NIGHT DRIVING.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, HEAR A POP AND GET OUT TO LOOK, REAR PASSENGER CONTROL ARM CORRODED TO THE POINT IT IS BROKEN RIGHT OFF THE CENTER TO WHICH IT WAS ATTACHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WERE INADEQUATE FOR SAFE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HI BEAM HEADLAMP WAS USED FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PINE BELT NISSAN OF KEYPORT DEALER, (111 NJ-36, KEYPORT, NJ 07735) AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHT REFLECTOR FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLAMP HOUSING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,839.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SO DIM THAT THEY PROVIDE ALMOST NO LIGHT TO SEE THE ROAD. I'VE SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM MANY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013-15 OWNERS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NISSAN WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. IT HAD BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST YEAR. I REPLACED BULBS BUT THEY DID NO GOOD. PROBLEM IS IN HEADLIGHT REFLECTOR HOUSING WHICH REFLECTS BULB'S LIGHT. LINING DEGRADES/BURNS OFF AND LIGHT THEN GETS ABSORBED, NOT REFLECTED.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN VERY DIM FOR YEARS AND NOW ARE WAY WORSE. I CAN'T SEE AT ALL TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, EXCEPT WHEN I DRIVE WITH MY LIGHTS ON BRIGHT CONSTANTLY AND EVEN THOSE AREN'T GREAT. I HAVE HAD NO ONE FLASH ME WITH MY BRIGHTS ON, IF THAT IS ANY INDICATION OF HOW BAD THEY ARE. I HAVE HAD MANY ALMOST ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY URGENT SAFETY ISSUE. I LOVE MY CAR AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, EXCEPT FOR THIS. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING FOR ITS CUSTOMER'S SAFETY. I AM LOOKING AT TRADING IT IN BECAUSE OF THIS EVEN THOUGH I REALLY DON'T WANT TO AND NEVER BUYING NISSAN AGAIN. ( I OWN THREE NISSAN CARS PRESENTLY AND THIS ONE IS JUST HORRIBLE.)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BEAM FROM THE HEADLAMPS WERE INSUFFICIENT SAVE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT OR EARLY MORNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMP BULBS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT FAILED TO ADDRESS THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GERALD NISSAN OF NORTH AURORA (213 HANSEN BLVD, NORTH AURORA, IL 60542) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WITH THE REFLECTOR ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLAMP HOUSING WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 35 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR STARTED TO SWAY AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE TIRES AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. I STARTED TO DRIVE AND AS I GOT UP TO 20 MPH IT STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

HALOGEN HEADLAMPS EXTREMELY DIM. USING VEHICLE LOW BEAMS, I CANNOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN ASPHALT AND RAISED PAVEMENT LINES DURING LIGHT OR MODERATE RAIN. WHEN REPLACED HALOGEN LIGHTS WITH BRIGHTER LED HEADLAMPS, THE HEADLAMPS STILL APPEAR DIM AND I CAN SAFELY LOOK DIRECTLY THROUGH THE PROJECTOR AT THE NEW HEADLIGHT (I CANNOT SAFELY LOOK AT SAID LED BULB WHEN NOT INSTALLED IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. RPMS AND REFLECTIVE SIGNS ARE NOT VISIBLE UNTIL WITHIN 20 FEE (OR NOT AT ALL IN MANY CASES), CAUSING ME TO MISS TURNS. IN THE IMAGE PROVIDED, THE BRAND NEW 1,600 LUMEN LED HEADLAMPS (BOTTOM) ARE PLACED IN REFERENCE TO A 750 LUMEN LED FLASHLIGHT

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IS INOPERABLE DUE TO A BROKEN CORRODED REAR WHEEL SUSPENSION LINK. THE LOWER ARM BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLIDE ALMOST LIKE I WAS DRIVING IN ICEY CONDITIONS, HOWEVER THE ROADS WERE CLEAR. THE ANTI SKID SENSOR ALSO LIT UP ON THE VEHICLE CONTROL PANEL. ONCE I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, I COULD SEE THE REAR WHEEL ARM WAS BROKEN, CAUSING THE TIRE TO LEAN HEAVILY TO THE SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP IN WHICH I WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE RECALL P9324. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT A LOCAL NISSAN REPAIR SHOP TO GET THE REPAIRS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL. I FOLLOWED THE RECOMMENDATION AND CONTACTED THE LOCAL NISSAN REPAIR SHOP. AFTER TALKING WITH A TECHNICIAN, HE CONFIRMED THEIR WAD A RECALL AND I MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE TOWED THERE. SINCE THEN I WAS TOLD BY THE SAME SHOP THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT A VEHICLE THAT FALLS UNDER THE RECALL. I RESEARCHED THE RECALL AND FOUND THAT NISSAN IS CAMPAIGNING TO ALERT 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS LOCATED IN COLD WEATHER STATES OF THE MALFUNCTIONING PART DO TO CORROSION FROM SALT USED IN SNOW REMOVAL. I LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MINNESOTA. THE EXACT PART THE NISSAN IS CAMPAIGNING TO BE REPLACED HAS BROKEN DUE TO CORROSION, HOWEVER, NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR COSTS AND CLAIMS MY VEHICLE DOESN'T FALL UNDER THE RECALL. I DO BELIEVE THIS BROKEN PART CAUSES A SAFETY RISK AS IT OCCURED WHILE I WAS DRIVING

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS PROVIDE VERY LITTLE ILLUMINATION WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNUSABLE AT NIGHT. I DID REPORT TO MY DEALER WHO SUGGESTED I PURCHASE A NEW SET ON THE INTERNET AND THEY WOULD INSTALL THEM. I DID THAT AND THOSRE WORKED WELL FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. THE 2013 NEEDS TO BE RECALLED TOL REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS WITH A NEWLLY DESIGNED VERSION.

VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING WHEN STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, INTERSECTIONS, STOP SIGNS OR WHENEVER THE BRAKE WAS USED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE COMPLETELY DIES BUT WILL START AGAIN BUT CANNOT BE USED TO PROPEL THE VEHICLE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST (AAMCO) DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION.

FAULTY HEADLAMP DESIGN INSIDE PROJECTOR BOWL BURNS OUT THUS RESULTING IN REFLECTIVE MATERIAL BEING BURNT INSIDE AFTER THIS FAULTY DESIGN WE COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WE HAD TO PURCHASE ONLINE AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHT UNIT COMPLETE ASSEMBLY AND NOW WE CAN SEE THE ROAD NEED TO BE AN RECALL SO WE CAN GET REPLACED AT NO CHARGE! OR PAYMENT REIMBURSEMENTS! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHAT IF YOU HIT AN ANIMAL OR A PERSON? OR ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT! ALL BECAUSE NISSAN USA WANTED TO MAKE A CHEAP PART BAD DESIGN PART!

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. HIGH BEAMS ARE REQUIRED FOR NIGHT DRIVING AND THAT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT BLINDS THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 ALTIMA WITH 73,000 MILES ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 85MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELL A SUDDEN SURGE IN POWER THE RPM WENT FROM 2,400 TO 5,300 SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THE I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND MY ENGINE DIED I ALMOST GOT INTO A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT BUT LUCKILY THE PERSON BEHIND ME WASN'T ON THERE PHONE BUT THEY HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES BEACAUSE MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY PROBABLY BEACAUSE OF THE JATCO CVT BUT ONCE I AM PULLED OVER I AM GOING THROUGH MY GLOVE BOX TO FIND THE ROADSIDE EMERGENCY CARD WITH A NUMBER ON IT BUT I FOUND A RECALL NOTICE FROM 2 YEARS AGO THAT SAID THAT THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS YOUR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK AND I NEED TO TAKE IT IN TO SERVICE IMMEDIATELY OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR WELL WHEN I HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED I HAD 55,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THAT IS 55,000 MILES OF DAMAGE HAPPENING TO MY TRANSMISSION SO I CALLED NISSAN AND TOLD THEM SINCE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE A CAR AND THAT I ALMOST DIED IN A CAR WRECK BEACAUSE OF THEM THAT THEY NEED TO SEND ME A TOW TRUCK ASAP TO TOW IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY SENT ME ONE BUT THEY DID NOT PAY FORE IT SO 200 DOLLARS LATER I AM SITTING IN MY BROCKEN CAR IN A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND I WENT IN AND TOLD THEM SINCE THEY CAN'T BUILD A TRANSMISSION THAT WON'T GET SOMEONE KILLED THEY NEED TO PUT A NEW ONE IN MY CAR THAT EORKS AND OF COURSE THEY REFUSED TO DO IT SO I GAVE IT TO THEM AND THEY LOWBALLED ME AND GAVE ME 4,000 DOLLERS FORE THE CAR WHATEVER I WAS SO MAD AT THAT MOMENT T

THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DULL, RESULTING IN POOR VISION. HIGH BEAMS ARE THE ONLY WAY TO SEE ANY DISTANCE. IN BAD WEATHER THIS IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE ROAD HAZARDS.

THE PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR HAS FAILED. THE AIR BAG IS ALWAYS OFF WITH A RED WARNING ON THE CONSOLE, REGARDLESS IF THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER OR NOT. OTHER ALTIMA'S OF THAT MODEL YEAR HAVE HAD RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH NISSAN WANTS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THE POLICE WAS ON SCENE. HOWEVER, NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS TRANSPORTED BY THE AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL FOR BACK AND NECK INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWN SA 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE REVVED BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MONKEN NISSAN LOCATED AT (1741 W MCCORD ST, CENTRALIA, IL 62801) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I SMELL SOMETHING BURNING BUT MY CAR ISN'T GETTING HOT. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED THEY SAID MY VALVE COVER GASKET IS LEAKING OIL IT HAS TO BE REPLACED AND MY COILS AND PLUGS ARE SITTING IN OIL. THE STRONG BURNING SMELL COMES THROUGH MY AIR VENTS. AND WHEN THE OIL HITS THE EXHAUST IT SMOKES. I PRAY IT DOESN'T CATCH ON FIRE.

WITH TIME, THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAR HAVE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT WHERE THEY MAY AS WELL NOT BE ON AT ALL AFTER DARK. IT ISN'T THE BULBS THEMSELVES, BUT AN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLAMP. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AND I CAN BARELY DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT-- LET ALONE DRIVE IT SAFELY. I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMAS MADE IN 2013 AND 2014 THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AT ALL TIMES, EXCEPT WHEN THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE ON. THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN FAILING FOR SOME TIME NOW, AND GETTING STEADILY WORSE EACH DAY.

I WAS DRINKING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO THE CITY STREET I DON'T BELIEVE I HIT ANYTHING. AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A SCRAPPING NOISE FROM THE REAR AREA OF MY CAR AS I PROCEEDED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. AS I WAS IN MOTION GOING HOME I FELT THE CAR DRIVING A BIT DIFFERENT LIKE I WAS DRIVING WITH A FLAT TIRE. I STOPPED GOT OUT CHECKED MY TIRES EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I CONTINUED ON SLOWLY AND QUIETLY TO LISTEN TO MY CAR THIS TIME I FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS DRIVING OFF TRACK LIKE MY STEERING WHEEL WAS STRAIGHT BUT MY CAR WAS SLOWLY GOING A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. AS I MADE IT HOME I PARKED AND LOOKED AT MY CAR AGAIN FROM EVERY ANGLE THIS TIME I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS GOING FACING INWARD. I LOOK UNDER MY CAR FROM THE BACK AND I NOTICE SOMETHING WAS HANGING LIKE A PIPE.

I BOUGHT MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 BRAND NEW IN 2012. OVER THE PAST 7 YEARS, MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY DIMMER, TO THE POINT THAT I CANNOT TELL MY LIGHTS ARE EVEN ON. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE 5 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. IF IT RAINS, I AM IN BAD SHAPE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR 90,000 MILE SERVICE, THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULBS WILL NOT CHANGE OR FIX THE ISSUE. HE STATED THAT I NEEDED WHOLE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES, WHICH WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1,000. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CAR, BUT FEEL AS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD AND KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2013-2015 ALTIMA, THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR FOR MY SAFETY AND SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME ON THE ROAD.

THE VEHICLES LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DEM AND HARD TO SEE WITH THEM ON. THEY HAVE GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME AND PUTTING IN NEW EXPENSIVE HEADLIGHT HAVE NOT HELPED. THE TRANSMISSION STILL SOMETIMES IN A HIGHER RMP. I HAVE TO TAP ON THE BRAKE TO GET IT UNSTUCK IN THAT RPM.

THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING SITUATION. I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD TO DRIVE SAFELY. I KNOW THAT DRIVING USING HIGH BEAMS WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC IS NOT A SOLUTION, BUT NEITHER IS DRIVING WITHOUT PROPER ILLUMINATION OF HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO APPARENT SOLUTION DESPITE REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULBS, CHANGING TO HID OR LED BULBS, ETC.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK WITH THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ON. THIS HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT COSTS $1400 EACH PLUS LABOR. OR I COULD BUY A NEW CAR, THEY SAID. I AM NOT AWARE OF THIS WHILE DRIVING PLACES WITH LIGHTED STREETS UNTIL DRIVING IN UNLIT AREAS DURING THE DARK TIMES OF DAY. THIS HAS BE COME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE YEARS UNTIL NOW, I CANNOT EVEN SEE THE EDGES OF THE ROAD. I WOULD NOT SEE SOMETHING UNTIL I WOULD HAVE HIT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

AIRBAG SENSOR NOT DETECTING WEIGHT ON PASSENGER SEAT AT ALL TIMES. PROBLEM STARTED WHEN CAR HAD A RELATIVELY LOW MILAGE (UNDER 50K). DEALERSHIP SAID PROBLEM IS DUE TO AIRBAG MODULE WITH NO RECALLS ON THIS SPECIFIC CAR. AIRBAGS ON PASSENGER SIDE ARE COMPLETELY NOT FUNCTIONAL AT ALL TIMES. I WAS VERY HESITANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT UNTIL NOW.

THE TORQUE CONVERTER WOULD SEIZE IF THE CAR SLOWED DOWN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. RESTARTING THE CAR WOULD BE NO PROBLEM (IN PARK OR NEUTRAL) AND IT IDLED FINE. AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT IN GEAR, THE PROBLEMATIC TORQUE CONVERTER WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL AGAIN. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY (01/23/2020) AT POUGHKEEPSIE NISSAN (NY) GETTING FIXED.

CVT FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO SLIPPAGE. STALLS RANDOMLY IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. RESTARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES AND DROVE FINE AGAIN. HAD TO SPEND $250 IN TOWING FEES IN THE SAME WEEK. NISSAN DIDN'T ADMIT CVT FAULT KNOWINGLY. HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THEIR RECALL ON THE TCM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING. SHAME ON YOU, NISSAN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL WHINING AND GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BEARING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER HUGH WHITE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (250 COLUMBUS RD SUITE A, ATHENS, OH 45701 (740) 594-8555) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED FOR THE 2ND TIME AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO PAY 80% OF THE REPAIR COST. A CASE WAS ALSO OPENED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

I WAS DRIVING, CAR STARTED TO FISHTAIL, HEARD LOUD NOISE GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER CAR AND CONTROL ARM WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. LUCKILY I WASNT ON THE HIGHWAY OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HER HUSBAND WHO OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED AND COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A PROGNOSIS FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO CROWN NISSAN LOCATED AT 5151 34TH ST N, ST. PETERSBURG, FL 33714, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,010.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2013 ALTIMA ARE EXTREMELY DIM. MY CAR HAS 95,000 MILES. I BASICALLY AM UNABLE TO TELL IF MY LIGHTS ARE ON AT NIGHT AND CAN ONLY SEE A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT NISSAN; HOWEVER, NO RESPONSE WAS RECEIVED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THERE WILL BE A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO THIS ISSUE UNLESS NISSAN IS FORCED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH A RECALL. PLEASE HELP!

LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS HAVE EXTREMELY LOW OUTPUT. DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE SAFETY OF LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. *LD THE CONUSMER STATED THE LOW BEAMS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. *JS *JS

GEAR STUCK IN PARK UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF IT. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PARK MY CAR OR PUT IT IN PARK. NOTICED THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SOMETIME SINCE 2016. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. TOTALLY UNSAFE!!

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 01/03/2020 WHILE NIGHT FALL CAME I TURNED MY HEADLIGHTS ON I COULD NOT TELL IF THEY WHERE ON IT WAS STILL DARK PULLED OVER AND THEY WHERE ON , I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON SO I COULD SEE THE ROAD AND ANY PEDESTRIANS, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS , IT POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING AND PEOPLE HAVE GONE OFF THE ROAD , NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WAY THE LIGHTING WAS MADE ON THIS VEHICLE, OWNERS SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE COST OF CHANGING THE HOUSING UNIT ON THIS VEHICLE, I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD , I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYONE OR KILL MYSELF BY NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE

MADE A RIGHT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION AFTER STOPPING FOR THE RED LIGHT FELT LIKE THE CAR HIT A CHUCK HOLE BUT DIDN'T SEE NO CHUCK HOLE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY HAD TROUBLE CONTROLLING VEHICLE MANAGED TO PULL OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND NOTICE THAT THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS AT AN ANGLE HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP WHERE WE FOUND THE LEFT REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD BROKE OFF FROM ITS PIVOT POINT UPON FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS CRACKED ON THE SAME PIVOT POINT

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT STARTED STUTTERING AND IT CUT RIGHT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING .I THEN RESTARTED MY CAR AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME RIGHT ON AND ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL. I PARKED IT AS BEST AS I COULD , AND I TRIED STARTING IT A 3RD TIME IT STARTED AND I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND IT CUT RIGHT OFF.

DRIVING DOWN CITY STREET 30MPH. CAR STARTED PULLING BACK AND FORTH. WAS ABLE TO SLOW CAR AND GUIDE IT INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. GLAD I WASN'T ON FASTER ROADS AS TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. ONCE PARKED I GOT OUT TO EXAMINE VEHICLE AND REAR DRIVER SIDE WAS SITTING VERY LOW ON THE WHEEL. LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE AND SAW LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKEN APART.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN VEHICLE SLOWS. SOMETIMES THE CAR DIES AS A RESULT. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR THUS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD SUCH AS GETTING STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION OR IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE GETTING DIMMER OVER TIME TO THE POINT YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY APPEARS TO BE DETERIORATING AND REPLACING THE BULB DOES NOT HELP.

THIS VEHICLES HEADLAMPS ARE SO DIM TO THE POINT OF EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY AS A RESULT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT AND NISSAN IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR OWNERS. THE FIX IS NOT A BULB, BUT REPLACING BOTH HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES AT A HEFTY PRICE TAG TO THE OWNER

I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT ON NEW YEAR'S EVE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA STALLED WHILE IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I DIDN'T DRIVE IT YESTERDAY (NEW YEARS DAY), AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING THIS MORNING TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT (JAN 2). I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION! IT IS SHOCKING TO ME THAT A 6 Y.O. CAR -- WITHOUT ANY PROGRESSION OF SYMPTOMS OR ANY WARNING LIGHTS WHATSOEVER -- WOULD NEED AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION. THESE SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM TO ME, AS A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED NUMEROUS NISSAN OWNERS COMPLAINING OF NEEDING TO REPLACE THEIR CVT PREMATURELY.

LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE DIMMED OVER TIME. I PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW AND CANNOT SEE WITHOUT FOG LIGHTS BEING ON. REPLACED BULBS BUT PROBLEM IS WITH THE REFLECTIVE COATING INSIDE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES ALSO.

ALTIMA'S LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. SAME ISSUE AS REPORTED ON OTHER SITES:HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/ALTIMA-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS/ ESSENTIALLY THE INTERNAL LENZ IS DAMAGE OVER TIME AND USE DIRECTING THE LIGHT TOWARDS THE GROUND AND NOT THE ROAD. IT HAS BEEN A SLOW PROGRESSION AND I DID NOT REALIZE THE ISSUE UNTIL I WENT TO CHANGE THE LAMP BULBS.

REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM FAILURE. LEFT BACK DRIVER SIDE. RUSTED AND BROKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, EXITED THE VEHICLE, LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NISSAN OF CANTON (42175 MICHIGAN AVE, CANTON, MI 48188, (734) 392-8248) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER CONTROL ARM AND SUBFRAME WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA19002. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 38269408. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,751.

THE LOW BEAMS ARE AT THE POINT WHERE IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE NOT ON. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS, DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. I ADJUSTED THE 2 DIFFERENT ADJUSTMENT PIECES, ONE IS UNDER THE HOOD AND THE OTHER IS BEHIND THE INNER FENDER. THAT DIDN'T CORRECT IT.I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THIS ISSUE . I DID SEE ON A NISSAN FORM LISTED AS WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/ALTIMA-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS/ ,THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH WHAT IS CALLED THE 5TH GENERATION ALTIMA. WHICH IS CONSIDERED A 2013-2015. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN IT IS DARK OUT AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON TO SEE, WHETHER OR NOT YOUR MOVING OR STANDING STILL.
