2013 Nissan Altima complaints

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED FINE, NOW THEY ARE SO DIM YOU CANNOT SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN. I SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE LIGHT, AND TOLD ME THAT THE CHROME AROUND THE LIGHT BULB IS NOT REFLECTING THE LIGHT OF THE BULB AND THAT IS WHY ITS SO DIM. HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT HE SEES IN NISSAN ALTIMAS 2012 AND ABOVE. THE COST FOR REPLACING THE HEADLIGHTS IS ABOUT 1200 DOLLARS TO FIX.

THE REAR RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM RUSTED APART AND BROKE, LEAVING THE CAR IMMOBILE. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN THE CITY AND AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHO CHARGED ME $1961 TO FIX ONLY THIS REAR ARM. THE CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY MAINTAINED AND THIS TYPE OF SUSPENSION FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.

THE HEAD LIGHT ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 SV IS VERY DIM I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAM MOST OF THE TIME AT NIGHT DRIVING WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I TRY TO AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT FOR THAT REASON. I EVEN REPLACE THE BULBS WITH THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONES BUT THAT DID NOT HELP AT ALL. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL CAR.

I BOUGHT THE 2013 NISSAN ULTIMA WITH STOCK LIGHTS. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH MY LOW BEAMS ON I COULD NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. I TRIED REPLACING THE LOW BEAMS THREE SEPARATE TIMES WITH HIGH PRICED LED LIGHTBULBS AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I CAN NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN NOT SEE THE LINES OR THE ROAD. DRIVING AT NIGHT CAUSES ME TO BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT COUNTLESS PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THE SAME MODEL. I CAN GET IT FIXED THROUGH NISSAN BUT IT WILL COST ROUGHLY $1,000 AND I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. I AM ASKING FOR A RECALL OF THIS PARTICULAR PORT OF THE CAR, OTHERWISE, IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I HURT MYSELF OR OTHERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TORRE NISSAN (760-777-8999, LOCATED AT 79125 HIGHWAY 111, LA QUINTA, CA 92253) WHERE NOTHING WAS DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 16-102 AND WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING DUE TORQUE STALLING OF THE ENGINE. CAN COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL CVT. THEN ENGINE STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN OCCURS AT ANY SPEED.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IN A 45MPH ZONE THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AND THE REAREND SLID TO THE RIGHT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED THE REAR PASANGER TIRE AREA AS I COULD VISIBLY SEE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM AREA. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND COULD SEE THAT THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND SNAPPED . IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ANY VEHICLE AROUND ME THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE CONTACT HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE INTO THE PARKING SPACE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED FLUID ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 37097905. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

GEAR GETS STUCK TOO OFTEN TO MOVE. CHEAP PARTS AND IS RISKY LIKE ON A PARKING STOP TRYING TO STOP AND YOUR GEAR WONT BUDGE. MY 2013 ALTIMA TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN VIBRATING TOO HEAVILY, BETWEEN 1500-2500 RPM IN COLD AND EXTEREMELY HOT WEATHER SITUATIONS, EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE (SINCE FEB, 2014). NOW THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AND THEY ARE ASKING 4K TO REPLACE IT.

THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE RUSTED TOTALL OUT AND MY I AM SO LUCKY I DIDN'T DIE OR THE PEDESTRIAN !!!!! I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR AND ALMOST HIT SOMEONE AS A RESULT! WHY IS THE WORLD WOULD THIS PART RUST OUT??? WHY IS SOMETHING NOT BEING DONE TO FIX THIS SAFETY CONCERN? BECAUSE NO ONE HAS DIED FROM IT YET? IS THAT WHAT IS NEEDED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR OTHER PEOPLE? THE PICTURE IS ATTACHED - SEE THE REAR WHEEL?

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY BECOME MORE AND MORE DIM. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT TO THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BECOME DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT UNLESS I USE MY BRIGHTS. MY MECHANIC SAID THE MATERIAL IN THE PROJECTOR HAS WORN DOWN AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLIES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS CLEARLY A WIDESPREAD MANUFACTURING FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS DO NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHTING AT NIGHT.IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE WITHOUT USING THE HIGH BEAMS.I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS AND EVEN THE HIGH INTENSITY BULBS DO NOT IMPROVE THE LIGHTING ENOUGH TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.I SEE A LOT OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE AND WANT TO CHARGE 128$ TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THAT I KNOW IS A INFERIOR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. I HAVE EVEN BEEN FOLLOWING FRIENDS IN OTHER VEHICLES AND THEY MENTION THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM.

CONTROL ARM BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. CAR REAR BECAME UNSTABLE AND WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. THEY REVEALED THAT THE CONTROL ARM HAD RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY ON ONE SIDE AND WAS NEARLY RUSTED THROUGH COMPLETELY ON THE OTHER.

MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED AT 71 000 ALONG WITH MY AUTOMATIC BRAKE LOCK ON THE GEAR SHIFTER.

ON AUGUST 28, 2019, I WAS PULLED OVER FOR MY HEADLIGHT BEING OUT. I SMACKED THE LIGHT AND IT CAME BACK ON. I WAS ISSUED A TICKET GIVING ME TIME TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. MY MECHANIC HAPPENED TO GOOGLE THE ISSUE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS AND DISCOVERED THIS. HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/ALTIMA-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS/

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY IS NEARLY NON-EXISTENT AS I CANNOT DRIVE ON LOW BEAM AT NIGHT. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH PHILIPS H11 VISIONPLUS AND NO CHANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT, PREVIOUSLY, BOTH THE REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A REDUCED COST FOR THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES; HOWEVER, THE DEALER (NISSAN OF VICTORIA, 6003 N NAVARRO ST, VICTORIA, TX 77904, (361) 578-5000) DECLINED TO REPAIR THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE SINCE IT WAS STILL OPERATIONAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

RIGHT REAR CONTROL BAR SNAPPED AS I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. MULTIPLE NEWS ARTICLES INDICATE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS ON ALTIMA'S RANGIN FROM 2013-2018. HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER AND NISSAN ABOUT IMPEDING RECALL WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR ASSISTANCE FROM MANUFACTURER OR DEALER.

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE LINK COMPLETE NISSAN PART# 551B1-3TAO ON MY 2013 ALTIMA SNAPPED AT THE WELD WHERE IT BOLTS TO THE SUBFRAME, THIS HAPPENED JULY OF 2019. TODAY I HAD MY ALTIMA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR LINK COMPLETE HAS SEVERE CRACKS IN THE WELD IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE AS THE DRIVER SIDE THAT SNAPPED IN JULY 2019. I HAD THE DRIVER SIDE REPAIRED/ COMPLETE NEW PART WAS NEEDED. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE PART AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS A LOSS OF CONTROL TO THE REAR SUSPENSION IS THE RESULT OF IT SHOULD SNAP LIKEVDRIVER SIDE DID IN JULY. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 25 MPH WHEN THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OCCURRED TO THE DRIVER SIDE REAR LINK COMPLETE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING OTHER THAN SAYING SORRY BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. I BELIEVE NISSAN USED PARTS AT MANUFACTURE THAT WERE MADE OF SUBSTANDARD STEEL OR CHEAP RECYCLED STEEL, THESE PARTS SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN 6 YEARS, THEY ARE VITAL SUSPENSION COMPONENTS THAT WHEN FAIL AT HIGHER SPEEDS CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF STEERING AND RIDE SAFETY. 2 PARTS FAILING WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. THANKFULLY IT WILL ONLY COST ME ADDITIONAL MONEY AT THIS POINT. NISSAN ALTIMA FROM 2013 NEED TO BE RECALLED FOR THIS SERIOUS REAR SUSPENSION PART FAILURE FOR SAFETY OF OWNERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING, LURCHING, GOING IN AND OUT OF GEAR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND NOW IS ALMOST NON DRIVABLE. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WILL COST $3,500 TO FIX.

WHILE MANEUVERING MY ALTIMA IN A PARKING LOT AT A VERY LOW SPEED, THE REAR CONTROL ARM SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. SO LOUD IT STARTLED ME, AND I BUMPED A TRUCK WITH A TRAILER HITCH. THE HITCH DAMAGING THE FRONT NISSAN EMBLEM. THIS IS A SCARY FEELING. I CAREFULLY DROVE THE ALTIMA HOME, ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE SCENE. WHERE THE VEHICLE SITS NOW. UNDRIVABLE. THIS SHOULDN'T OCCUR IN A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 105,000 MILES. WHAT IS NISSAN DOING TO FIX THIS ISSUE??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AN ABNORMAL GIRDING NOISE WAS HEARD UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SIMS NISSAN (3140 ELM RD NE, WARREN, OH 44483, (330) 460-4069) WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

2013 ALTIMA HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE. AND AFTER LOOKING THRU MANY COMPLAINTS IT LOOKS AS IF THE 2013-2015 WERE MADE WITH LITTLE CARE AT ALL TO CIVILIAZATION. THERE ARE MANY RECALLS AND HEADLIGHTS SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY MAKE THE LIST. A CAR 5-6 YRS OLD SHOULDN'T LOSE ITS HEADLIGHTS BRIGHTNESS. NEVER HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE IN ANY AUTOMOBILE. IT'S A SHAME YOU GUYS ARE MAKING THE PUBLIC FIX CONSISTENT PROBLEMS ON NISSANS END. NOBODY HAS AN EXTRA $1500 LYING AROUND TO FIX A HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY THAT SHOULD LAST 10+ YEARS. NOT ONLY IS THAT MY ONLY COMPLAINT, I ALSO JOIN THE LIST OF HAVING NO AIR CONDITIONING DUE TO PROBLEMS NO MECHANIC CAN SEEM TO FIX. THANKS FOR LISTENING AND HOPEFULLY THE RECALL FOR THESE ISSUES WILL BE ISSUED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. FRONT HEAD LIGHTS ILLUMINATION WAS VERY DIM VISIBILITY HAZARD WAS PRESENT HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS ILLUMINATION WAS VERY DIM MAKE NIGHT VISION VERY POOR FOR THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO CLEANED THE LENS AND ASSEMBLY BUT THE FAILURE REMAINED AND THE ASSEMBLY WOULD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER(KNOWN) AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

~2013 ALTIMA W/ 83K MILES. WE'LL MAINTAINED VIA DEALER ONLY.~ TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION @ 30MPH THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WITH CHILDREN IN BACK SEAT. VEHICLE LOST REAR CONTROL AND BEGAN SWERVING/FISHTAILING. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR FEAR OF THE WHEEL COLLAPSING IN ON ITSELF. VISUAL INSPECTION SHOWED RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARM SNAPPED COMPLETE THROUGH. WHEEL WAS PITCHED INWARD ABOUT 20 RESTING ONLY ON THE SPRING.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM IT IS DANGEROUS. NISSAN SAYS IT IS THEIR PART BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO A RECALL BUT WANT CUSTOMERS TO PAY 1000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH SO MANY CARS. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW HOW MANY PEOPLE MENTION THIS BEING A BIG DANGEROUS ISSUE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND REFUSE TO PAY TO FIX THE DANGER THEY ARE CAUSING BY NOT HAVING THE RECALL. THIS IS CAUSING DRIVERS TO USE THEIR HIGH BEAMS BUT THOSE ARE DIM TOO DUE TO THE FAULTY COVERS NISSAN HAS ON THE HEADLIGHTS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN, IN THE RAIN, OR IN THE SNOW. CONSUMER SAFETY IS NOT CARED ABOUT.

I AM HAVING TO REPLACE BOTH REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS. ME AND MY DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY BACK END ALMOST GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED REPLACED THEY CORRODED. I HAVE A 2013 WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW BOTH CONTROL ARMS CAN CORRODE NOW I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN A RECALL

I BEGAN DOING RESEARCH AFTER MY VEHICLE DID THIS TO ME THE OTHER DAY TWICE. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40-50 MPH THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. LIGHTS ILLUMINED ON THE DASH BOARD AND THANKFULLY I DID HAVE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES SO I WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE IN PARK HOWEVER THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS AND DEADLY SITUATION TO EITHER ME OR INNOCENT BYSTANDERS/DRIVERS. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN NISSANS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPMS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN SPORADICALLY. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OVER INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 AS PART OF AN UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS PERFORMED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT GRIFFIN NISSAN (1780 E BROAD AVE, ROCKINGHAM, NC 28379, (910) 997-5516). THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED AROUND AUGUST 12, 2019. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE MILEAGE EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY LIMIT OF 100,000. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AND PROMISED TO CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY ALTIMA ARE REALLY DIM.

PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2019 BY OWNER. WANT TO MAKE SURE IF IF IT HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS. FIXED BREAKS, STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ROTORS MAKING SOUND EVERY TIME I BREAK, SHOCKS AND STRUTS FROM REAR SIDE ARE NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. AIR BAG SYSTEM SAYS IT IS OFF

VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING SUSPENSION SPRINGS SOUNDS KEEP HAVING PROBLEMS CAN'T HAVE 3 PASSENGERS SIT ON BACK, DUE TO CAUSING WEIGHT BARRIER SPRINGS SMELL SOMETHING BURNING AND NO POWER WHEN DRIVING.

THE THE PROJECTOR INSIDE MY HEADLIGHT IS BURNED OUT .CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES AT NIGHT TIME. CHANGING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS MY ONLY OPTION

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SHOCKS AND DISCOVERED THE LOWER COTROL ARM ON BOTH SIDES WERE SEVERLY RUSTED. ALMOST TO THE BREAKING POINT.ONLY 69306 MILES ON THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD HAVE FAILED AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS JUST GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS DOING ABOUT 35MPH AND RAPIDLY INCREASING TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND I HAD ALL I COULD DO TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER. HAD THIS HAPPENED A MINUTE LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE I WOULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. QUITE FRANKLY I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH OR ROLLOVER. AAA TOWED THE CAR TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE DRIVER SIDE REAR CONTROL ARM SNAPPED IN HALF AT THE WELDS AND BROKE FREE. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM WAS ALSO SEVERELY DAMAGED WITH CRACKS AT THE WELDS. WHILE I WAS TAKEN ABACK BY THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS TOTALLY UNCONCERNED SAYING THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A NUMBER OF THESE. THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER WEEKS BEFORE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IT IS GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. I FILED AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN ON AUGUST 19, 2019.

THE REAR SUSPENSION ON OUR VEHICLE DETACHED UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED. ONCE THE VEHICLE NO LONGER IN MOTION IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM / REAR SUSPENSION HAD DETACHED FROM EXCESSIVE RUSTED. THE VEHICLE IS A 2013 WITH NO OUTER BODY RUST. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS COULD BE A DEFECT AS WELL AS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE REAR SHOCKS REPLACED. LATER, THE SHOCKS MADE AN ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE THE NOISE RECURRED. THE MECHANIC INSTALLED NEW REAR SHOCKS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,603.*JB

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CONTROL ARM BROKE COULDN'T CONTROL CAR

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. DOES NOT REGISTER THAT DRIVER OR PASSENGER ARE SEATING IN THE SEATS TO ENGAGE THE AIRBAGS. NO MATTER HOW HEAVY THE OCCUPANTS ARE THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF.

MY DOOR LATCHES HAVE STOP WORKING STARTING IN JUNE WITH THE FIRST ONE NOW THERE IS THREE NONE WORKING THE CAR WAS STATIONARY EACH TIME

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND MAKE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITHOUT HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN RAIN OR WET ROAD CONDITIONS. CANNOT SEE CURBS FOR TRAFFIC ISLANDS, CANNOT SEE USUAL ROAD SIGNS, CANNOT SEE SIGNS OVERHEAD CLEARLY. HIGH BEAMS ARE ANNOYING AND RISKY TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AT ABOUT 5-10 MPH, AND WENT THROUGH A POTHOLE. HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND FELT THE CAR DIP. HE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THAT IT WAS DETACHED FROM THE FRAME AND THE REAR WHEEL WAS AT AN ANGLE. HE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED AND REPAIRED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1300. THE REAR CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN COMPLETELY. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND FOUND THERE WERE NONE, BUT I ALSO FOUND THERE WERE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR THE REAR CONTROL ARM BREAKING SUDDENLY, WHICH SIGNIFIES TO ME THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CONTROL ARMS IN THIS MODEL CAR.

MY CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK- THERE ARE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS IN ONLINE FORUMS I HAVE SIFTED THRU WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR AS MINE

TAKATA RECALL (FOR ONE PROBLEM) AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON - TOOK IN AND THEY SAID THE SWITCH UNDER PASSENGER SEAT HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED - FIXED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP WITHIN TWO DAYS, AIRBAG LIGHT BACK ON - TOOK IN AND THEY WERE GETTING CODES FOR DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG - NISSAN RECOMMENDED REPLACING AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC UNIT. WITHIN ANOTHER TWO DAYS OF THIS REPAIR, THE AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC UNIT GIVING SAME CODE. NOW, RECOMMENDING REPLACING DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT WHILE THESE ERROR CODES ARE FIRING, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD NOT GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT.

HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM IS GETTING DIMMER. REPLACED BULBS AND CHECKED GROUNDING STILL DIM. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. HIGH BEAMS WORK WELL.

THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IN APRIL. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN PASSENGERS SIT IN THE SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF THE PURCHASE MEANING THE LIGHT SIGNALS AND NOTIFIES THE DRIVER THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT ACTIVE OR ENGAGED. THIS DENOTES THAT AN AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. EACH TIME THIS LIGHT HAS COME ON I HAVE SET UP AN APPTMENT WITH MYDEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. THE DIAGNOSTICS CHECK DOES NOT SHOW AN ERROR AND IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE SENSORS HAVE BEEN RESET EACH TIME, BUT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE. MULTIPLE APPOINTMENTS WERE MADE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT NONE HAVE RECTIFIED THE SITUATION. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE CAR TO BE REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, OR CORRECT THE ISSUE. NONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN FULFILLED. THE REQUEST FOR A REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN SIDE TRACKED BY BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER LOOK TO FIND THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT MY WINDOW OF TIME FOR A REPLACEMENT HAS PASSED DUE TO TRYING TO FIND A DIAGNOSTICS ERROR CODE. A CLAIM WAS FILED WITH NISSAN CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS, BUT NO UPDATE OR PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN OVER TWO WEEKS. AS OF TODAY THE 11TH DAY SINCE MY LAST REPORTED ISSUE, THE CLAIM ASSOCIATE IS JUST NOW STARTING TO LOOK INTO THIS. THE CLAIM WAS CLOSED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE STATING I COULD NOT BE REACHED, BUT NO PHONE CALL OR MESSAGE WAS MISSED OR LEFT FROM NISSAN CORPORATE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS POWERED OFF, RESTARTED, AND FAILED TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

2013 ALTIMA WITH 86,000 MILES. THE LOWER REAR PASSENGER CONTROL ARM CRACKED AND BROKE OFF THE MOUNT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ~30MPH. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. THE REAR END OF THE CAR SWERVED PRETTY SEVERELY DURING THE INCIDENT. I HAD THREE KIDS IN THE BACK SPEED SO THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IF THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHER HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT'S QUITE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS LUCKY THIS HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEEDS AS THIS IS A MOSTLY HIGHWAY CAR.

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING WHEN IT IS TOO HOT OUTSIDE. I'M UNABLE TO DRIVE CORRECTLY DUE TO THE GLARE THAT IT CREATES.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 4 DOOR: I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET ABOUT 40 MPH AND HEARD THIS LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED FISH TAILING . I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE CONTROL ARM IN THE BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD COMPLETELY SNAPPED. I HAD TO ORDER A NEW ONE AND ALSO ANOTHER FOR THE OTHER SIDE BECAUSE I HEARD IF YOU REPLACE ONE YOU SHOULD REPLACE THE OTHER.
