2013 Nissan Altima complaints

YESTERDAY MY PASSENGER, REAR CONTROL ARM BROKE AND I ALMOST LOST MY WHEEL. LUCKILY I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V029000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) BY ROSEN NISSAN OF MADISON (2510 W BELTLINE HWY, MADISON, WI 53713, (608) 276-0335); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WARNING INDICATOR WAS STILL ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

1. I HAVE A COMPLAINT WHICH I HAVE NOTICED FOR AWHILE INVOLVING MY HEADLIGHTS. THEY SEEM TO BE GETTING DIMMER EACH TIME I DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. I'VE CLEANED THE HEADLIGHT COVERS BUT IT HASN'T HELPED. THE LIGHT ONLY HITS ABOUT 100 FT AHEAD OF ME AND AT A LOW ANGLE NOT KEEPING IT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR CARS OR PEDESTRIANS TO EVEN KNOW THAT I'M IN THE AREA. I'VE HAD TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON IN DARKER SPOTS JUST SO I CAN SEE WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO GO.

NOT 2 YEARS YET OF OWNERSHIP AND MY CAR DECIDES TO NOT ACCELERATE ON ME. I WOULD HAVE TO FLOOR IT TO GET IT TO FINALLY KICK IN AND DRIVE UNTIL I STOPPED AT THE NEXT LIGHT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING LETTING ME KNOW OF ANY PROBLEMS. HAD 2 NEAR COLLISIONS WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR TRYING TO GET MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. DEALER THOUGHT IT WAS TRANSMISSION AND ALTERNATOR BUT UPON WARRANTY REP DIAGNOSING VEHICLE, IT WAS DECIDED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR. WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 3 DAYS BUT PUT IN A RENTAL FROM THEIR DEALER WHICH WASN'T ANY BETTER WITH A CONSTANT NOISE WHILE DRIVING. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY AFTER WORK WITH MY SON. HAD TO GET OFF AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER. APPARENTLY, THEY FIXED THE WRONG THING. A FEW DAYS AFTER PICKING UP MY VEHICLE FROM GETTING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FIXED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. DIDN'T NOTE ANYTHING MAJOR WHILE DRIVING BUT WAS JUST AWFUL HAVING TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE WHEN I HAD JUST PICKED IT UP LITERALLY 2-3 DAYS BEFORE. THE DEALER KEPT MY VEHICLE THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS AND IT TOOK THEM 3 DAYS TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT I NEEDED A THROTTLE CHAMBER REPLACED. WAS NEVER TOLD WHAT THE PART WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING AND WHY IT WASN'T FOUND WHEN THEY HAD IT PREVIOUSLY. STILL NOT 2 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. PERSONALLY, TOO MANY ISSUES WITH MY 2013 ALTIMA VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND NISSAN

HESITATE WHEN PUT IN GEAR SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATED DOES NOT MOVE HAVE TO TURN IT ON AND OFF THEN IT WILL MOVE WAS TAKEN TO AMMCO TRANSMISSION REBUILD OR REPLACE ONLY 45,000 MILES 2013. WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN ON 04/18/2013 FOR INSPECTION WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH VEHICLE

MY FAMILY AND I WORE GOING ON A TRIP AFTER 2 HOURS MY NISSAN ALTIMA TURN OFF BAD AT 67K MILES NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO HELP BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF THE WARRANTY. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD WITH YOUR FAMILY SO FAR FROM HOME. IT HAPPENED IN SAN ANTONIO,TX. THIS ISSUE CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND THERE'S ALSO ALOT OF VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE FROM NISSAN OWNERS (ALTIMA'S)

I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY AT 30MPH WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFETY THANK GOD. I GOT OUT AND THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE CONTROL ARM ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE HAD SNAPPED OFF DUE TO RUST.

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. VEHICLE SHIFTING INTO GEAR ERRATICALLY, COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK, VEHICLE TURNED OFF WITH NO WARNING NEARLY LEFT STRANDED, VEHICLE TOWED TO RESIDENCE, MANUFACTURER NOT CONTACTED, $2000 FOR REFURBISHED/REBUILT TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT A LOW SPEED AND COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND STALLED. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO OR AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO FORWARD MOBILITY TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. "PIIR = Y". AH

WHILE DRIVING OUR 13 NISSAN ALTIMA SOUTH ON HWY 218/27 SUDDENLY THE CAR WAS STALLING AND LUNGING AND WE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING IN 4 LANE TRAFFIC ON MAY 13, 2019. WHILE TRYING TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR ANYTHING. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WE WERE TRYING TO CROSS ON COMING TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE OR NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WE COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A COLLISION DUE TO THE LUNGING AND STALLING OF THE TRANSMISSION. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER DEERY BROTHERS IN WEST BURLINGTON, IA AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THIS REPLACEMENT WILL COST $4,500. OUR ALTIMA HAS 85,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS NISSANS CVT THAT HAS MALFUNCTIONED IS VARIOUS OTHER NISSAN MODELS. HOPEFULLY THIS SITUATION WILL BE REMEDIED BY A RECALL.

ENGINE HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS EVERY SCENE IT WAS PURCHASE.

THE DIMMER LIGHTS ON HEADLIGHT, BOTH, PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE IS EXTREMELY DARK, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE OK, IT'S MY HEADLIGHTS IN DIMMER MODE MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT

TAKATA RECALL THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT OF MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS BEEN ON FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. I HAVE BEEN GONE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES, AFTER THEIR MAINTENANCE, EVERY TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OUT FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN IT LIGHTS UP AGAIN. THE AIRBAG MUST BE FAILED, BUT THE NISSAN DEALER DID NOT REPLACE IT.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON DIM BASICALLY LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE OFF. WHEN TRAVELING AT NIGHT WHEN DIM IS NEEDED DUE TO ON COMING TRAFFIC YOU CAN NOT SEE WITH THEM ONLY ON DIM. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS BUT THAT DOESNT HELP. SEEMS THAT IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MIRRORS THAT REFLECT THE LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE LIGHTS ARE ON BUT OF COURSE BEING A HEADLIGHT ISSUE WE NOTICE IT MORE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE. I CAN ATTACH A PICTURE BUT A VIDEO SHOWS THIS IS BETTER.

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK EVEN WHEN PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT - THE BUTTON TO PUSH ON THE CONSOLE WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND RELEASE IT FROM PARK EITHER - WE WERE AT A GAS STATION ON AN 1800 MILE TRIP - I FINALLY BROKE THE BUTTON ON THE CONSOLE AND STUCK MY SUNGLASSES BOW INTO THE CONSOLE BUTTON AND NOW I HAVE TO DO THAT EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IT'S REALLY MORE A MATTER OF INCONVENIENCE THAN ANYTHING BUT CONSIDERING WHAT CONSUMERS PAY FOR CARS THE EXPECTATION IS EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK AT LEAST UNTIL THE FIRST TIRE CHANGE

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A STRAIGHT FLAT STRETCH OF COUNTY ROAD TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. VEHICLE STARTED TO "SHIMMY" AND STEERING WHEEL RESPONSE BECAME SLUGGISH/ERRATIC, AND SKID CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE WAS SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND TURNED INTO A GAS STATION LOT AND PARKED. VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THEN RESTARTED IN CASE SKID LAMP COULD RESET. VEHICLE WAS SLOWLY BACKED ABOUT A FOOT WHEN A LOUD "CLUNK" WAS HEARD. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND REAR TIRE ON DRIVER SIDE INSPECTED. AT FIRST, TIRE APPEARED TO BE COMING OFF ROTOR UNTIL CLOSER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR CONTROL ARM SNAPPED AT THE WELD NEAR TO WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE FRAME. FLATBED TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR IS AWAITING REPAIR. TOW TRUCK OPERATOR INDICATED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE ON SAME MODEL CAR. RESEARCH ON INTERNET POST INCIDENT INDICATES SIMILAR MAKE/MODEL YEAR CARS HAVING SAME ISSUE.

MY SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON 7 - 10 DAYS AGO AND HAS REMAINED ON. VISITED NISSAN SERVICE ON 05/17 AND WAS TOLD DIAGNOSTIC TESTS REVEALED 3 CODES INDICATED FURTHER WORK WAS NEEDED. THE FIRST WAS TO REPLACE THE DIAGNOSTIC UNIT. SECOND REPLACE OCS MODULES 7 BOTH SENSORS. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH SUPPOSEDLY DOES NOT INCLUDE AIR BAGS. MY CONCERN IS TIS ACTUALLY IS OR SHOULD BE A RECALL. MY QUOTED PRICE TO FIX AIRBAGS/CODES IS GREATER THAN $1500.

DIM LIGHTS TOO DIM EVEN AFTER REPLACING BULB

I BOUGHT MY ALTIMA AT THE END OF 2013 I REALLY LIKED IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT BUT AS TIME HAS GONE ON MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN DIMMER THE HIGH BEAM WORKS BUT YOU CAN'T DRIVE WITH THEM ON BECAUSE YOU BLIND OTHER DRIVERS I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK MY LIGHTS AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM SO THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR 1150.00 DOLLARS I JUST LAUGHED AND SAID NO THANKS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THIS SHOULD REALLY BE A RECALL BY NISSAN

ON 14 MAY 2019, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO A FAMILY MEMBER'S HOUSE ON LIVINGSTON ROAD IN ACCOKEEK, MD, MY HOOD POPPED OPEN AND OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW OF DRIVING. I HAD TO PULL OF THE ROAD TO PULL THE HOOD DOWN. IT WAS VERY FEARFUL. I COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS ISN'T THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME. IT ALSO HAPPENED IN AUGUST 2018 IN DOSWELL, VA. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE REPORTED TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM SEE WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHTS STAY ON. THE SEAT BELTS WERE ON AND THEY JUST STAYED ON. THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD SOMETIMES GO OFF BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE STAYED ON EVEN WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CLEARED AN ERROR CODE BUT NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL NOT REOCCUR AND THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET FOR $1000 OR SO DOLLARS EVEN THOUGH I A EXTENDED WARRANTY ON IT THAT SOMEHOW DOESN'T COVER. I FEEL AS THOUGH THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED THE FIRST TIME AND THEY DID THE BARE MINIMUM AND PASSED THE REST ON TO THE CUSTOMER. I AM HORRIFIED AT ALL THE STORIES I AM READING ON THE INTERNET WITH OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, I HAVE AROUND 40000 MILES ON MY CAR NOW SO YOU SEE I DON'T DO ALOT OF HARD TRAVELING BUT WANT TO KNOW MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS 3 TIMES NOW AND NOTHING IS WORKING. I CAN BARELY SEE A FOOT IN FRONT OF MY FRONT BUMPER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND COMPLETELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR ME TO SEE YET I KNOW I AM BLINDING OTHER DRIVERS WHICH RESULTS IN MORE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS! PLEASE MAKE NISSAN RECALL THE HEADLIGHTS FOR REPLACEMENT. THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS!!!

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT RD ABOUT TO TURN ON TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SWAYING BACK AND FORTH AND DROPPED TO THE POINT WHERE THE TIRE WAS UNDER IT AND TURNED TO THE LEFT I HAD TO HAVE A FLATBED TOW IT TO MY HOUSE I WAS ON A MAIN RD IN AKRON . THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENTS AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF THANKFULLY I DIDNT GET HURT WHEN THIS HAPPEND. THE CONTROL ARM COMPLETELY SNAPPED THERE IS RUST BUT ISNT RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

DRIVER AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON.

RECENTLY I CAUGHT A FLAT AND PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER ON I95 TO PUT ON MY SPEAR TIRE AFTER I WAS FINISH AND GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND WAS PROCEEDING TO PULL OFF,I COULDN'T. TURNS OUT MY SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE. BEING STRANDED ON THE SHOULDER OF I95 WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME WAS A VERY FEARFUL MOMENT AND FEELING KNOWING THAT THE CARS AND TRUCK ZIPPING BYE CAN POSSIBLY HIT ME BY ACCIDENT WHILE I WAIT ON THE SHOULDER WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. AFTER THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME TO ME AND MY FAMILY'S RESCUE AND THE HE SHOWED ME HOW TO BYPASS THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE. AFTER EXPERIENCING SUCH A HORRIFIC ORDEAL I DECIDE TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM AND COME TO FIND OUT IT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE THAT MANY (2013-15) NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LOCK MECHANISM THAT PREVENTS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER FROM COMING OUT OF PARK. THE SHIFTER REMAINS STUCK IN PARK POSITION AND WILL NOT SHIFT, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED FOR NISSAN NOT TO KNOW OF THE SERIOUS MATTER THAT QUALIFIES AS A LEGITIMATE RECALL. THERE IS A ELECTRIC INTERLOCK SOLENOID THAT WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED,IT UNLOCKS THE GEAR SHIFTER TO ALLOW NORMAL GEAR CHANGING OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE ONLY WAY TO DISENGAGE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK, ONE WOULD HAVE TO PRY OPEN THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE COVER WITH A SCREWDRIVER AND INSERT THE SCREWDRIVER IN THE RELEASE SLOT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER. NISSAN KNOWS VERY WELL THAT THEY SHO

PURCHASED USED 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SL WITH APPROXIMATELY 65,606 MILES. JUNE 2016, AT 65,606 MILES, AUTO DEALER MECHANIC RESURFACED FRONT ROTORS AND REPLACED FRONT AND REAR BRAKES. AT APPROXIMATELY 65, 650 MILES BRAKES/ROTORS BEGAN TO THUMP. DEALER MECHANIC RESURFACED FRONT LEFT ROTOR. AT APPROXIMATELY 92,799 MILES, BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAL. SECOND MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. AT 96,052 MILES THIRD MECHANIC EXPERIENCED BRAKES SQUEALING AND RESURFACED ALL FOUR ROTORS. HOWEVER, BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAL AFTER RESURFACING. AT APPROXIMATELY 97,192 MILES, A FOURTH MECHANIC REPLACED FRONT ROTORS AND FRONT AND BACK BRAKES. AT APPROXIMATELY 105,139 MILES BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAL. 5TH MECHANIC REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME

MY HEAD LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT AND I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS IF I DO. I HAVE HAD THE BULBS SWITCHED OUT AND I HAVE ALSO HAD HEADLIGHT RESTORATION DONE ON THE HEADLIGHTS. NOTHING HAS FIXED THE ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND IT NEEDS ATTENTION. NISSAN TOLD ME IT WOULD COST OVER $1600 TO GET NEW HEAD LIGHTS.

THE CONTROL ARM ON MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA BROKE AT THE PIVOT POINT ON THE PASSENGERS REAR SIDE WHILE DRIVING.

I WANT TO START A RECALL FOR THE 2013-2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE LIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH NO MATTER HOW BRIGHT THE BULB. IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE ONE HAS TO DRIVE USING HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT IN ORDER TO DRIVE SAFELY. I AM TOLD NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM ALSO TOLD THAT NISSAN SAYS THE ENTIRE HOUSINGS HAS TO BE REPLACED.AT A PRICE TO CONSUMERS OF $1,000 THIS IS SO UNFAIR. CONSUMERS.WHO BROUGHT NISSAN ALTIMA SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR.TRUSTING THIS COMPANY THIS IS UNFAIR. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT AND FOOT THE BILL. SEVERAL TIMES I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE I DIDNT SEE THE PERSON HOW CAN I START A RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, A POPPING NOISE OCCURRED COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL WAS BENT. THE CONTACT'S BROTHER-IN-LAW, WHO WAS A MECHANIC, INFORMED HER THAT THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE DETACHING. THE CONTACT CALLED HERB CHAMBERS NISSAN OF WESTBOROUGH (LOCATED AT 75 OTIS ST, WESTBOROUGH, MA 01581, (508) 870-0800) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE; THEREFORE, IT WOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE LIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE BEAM DOES NOT REACH ME IF I STAND IN FRONT OF EITHER HEADLIGHT. I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON RURAL ROADS OR HIGHWAYS AFTER DARK. I HAVE HAD MANY NEAR - ACCIDENTS WITH CURB DIVIDERS IN THE CENTER LANES THAT ARE NOT WELL LIT BECAUSE MY LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME WELL ENOUGH! ONE INCIDENT ABOUT A YEAR AGO RESULTED IN A COLLISION OF MY CAR AND THE CURB DIVIDER-THERE WERE NO STREET LAMPS NEARBY, AND IT WAS DARK AND RAINY AND I SIMPLY DID NOT SEE THE DIVIDER DUE TO LACK OF HEADLIGHTS.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ABOUT 25 MPH LEAVING WORK WHEN I HEARD A THUD/CLUNK FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR OF THE CAR. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED AT THE CAR. I THOUGH I HAD A FLAT BECAUSE THE CAR HAD BEEN HANDLING 'ODDLY' FOR ABOUT 30 FEET. I DIDN'T SEE A FLAT, DROVE THE REMAINING MILE HOME AND WHEN I SAW THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE WAS AT AN ANGLE TO THE CAR. IT WAS POINTED TO THE RIGHT, WHILE THE OTHER TIRES WERE ALIGNED STRAIGHT FORWARD. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AS THEY HAD ONE IN LAST WEEK WITH SIMILAR CONDITIONS (SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL) ROUGHLY SAME MILEAGE. THEY ARRANGED FOR A TOW TRUCK TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND DRAG IT ONTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARM HAD FAILED, CAUSING THE TIRE TO DISCONNECT FROM THE CONTROL ARM WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I REQUESTED THAT THEY CHECK REMAINING CONTROL ARM SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE UNTIL WAS ALSO CRACKED, BUT NOT COMPLETELY BROKEN THROUGH AS YET. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER REP VISITED THE DEALERSHIP AND STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WERE DUE TO RUST, CAUSING BOTH CONTROL ARMS TO FAIL, THEREFORE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE HAD FEWER THAN 89,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE COMPONENTS FAILED, THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF ANY PROBLEMS PREVIOUSLY, AND THE CAR WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP THREE WEEK'S PRIOR DUE TO A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THIS IS MY SIXTH AND LAST

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE MY BRAKES, WHICH ALSO STARTS MY CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY FEEL LIKE THEY GET STUCK SOUNDS AS IF THEY MIGHT BE RUSTY AND WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE THEY CATCH. I WILL APPLY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY CLICK DOWN. I'M AFRAID THE LONGER IT GOES ON SOONER OR LATER THEY WILL NO LONGER WORK. HAPPENS MOTION AND STATIONARY . SUSPENSION' EVERY BUMP I GO OVER I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS HITTING ROCK BOTTOM. SLOW OR NORMAL SPEED. ALL THESE PROBLEMS I HAVE TOLD SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE. I WAS FLUFFED OFF TELLING ME IT WAS THIS OR THAT AND IT WAS NORMAL. I DROVE THE SAME CAR 'A RENTAL'NEVER NEVER FELT ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS. THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO BUY A NISSAN. BIG MISTAKE.

WHEN PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION, THE SHIFT GEAR WILL NOT MOVE.

MY CALL STALLED WHEN I WAS STATIONARY, IN DRIVE, AT AN INTERSECTION. SINCE THEN WHENEVER I SHIFT INTO EITHER DRIVE OR REVERSE THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE, CHECK BATTERY, AND GENERAL WARNING LIGHT ALL COME ON WHEN I EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS REPORT THIS ISSUE. MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 HAS A LITTLE OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS CAR.

WITHOUT WARNING...I WAS REVERSING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND I HEARD A LOUD POP. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO TAKE A LOOK, MY REAR CONTROL ARM SNAPPED AND DISLOCATED THE WHEEL. I AM THANKFUL THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN TWENTY MINUTES BEFORE WHILE ON THE TACONIC STATE PARKWAY DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55 MPH). THE CAR NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC.

VEHICLES LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. IT IS SO SEVERE THAT IT IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS AFTER DARK. I INSTALLED NEW LOW BEAM BULBS IN THE CAR AND THIS CORRECTIVE ACTION PROVES WORTHLESS. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, THE BULBS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM AT ALL. THE MATERIAL INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT UNIT HAS DETERIORATED RENDERING THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS USELESS. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, FOLKS EVERYWHERE WITH THESE SAME HEADLIGHTS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED AND PRICED A WHOLE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND EACH UNIT WAS 350 DOLLARS. THAT IS 700 DOLLARS PLUS JUST FOR THE HEADLIGHT SET AND THAT AMOUNT DOESN'T INCLUDE LABOR COST. THE NEW HEADLIGHT ARE THE SAME ONES THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE OPERATED AT NIGHT ON LOW BEAMS IS A SERIOUS TRANSPORTATION SAFETY HAZARD AS I AM UNABLE TO SEE A SAFE DISTANCE AHEAD.

THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHTS ARE DIMINISHING IN THEIR ABILITY PROJECT LIGHT FORWARD OF THE CAR MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT EVEN WITH BRAND NEW WIRING BULBS. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND CHARGING OWNERS 700 HUNDRED DOLLARS AND MORE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT. A RECALL NOTICE IS NEEDED TO MAKE THESE CARS SAFE AGAIN TO DRIVE IN NIGHT OR LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS. THANK YOU.

HEADLIGHTS ARE SUPER DIM AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK. IF A WRECK HAPPENS IT WOULD BE AT NISSANS FAULT FOR NOT CORRECTING THIS ISSUE YEARS AGO

THE VEHICLE HAS AROUND 57,500 MILES, WAS BOUGHT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN 2016, AND HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP SINCE PURCHASE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE AFTER A STOPLIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT THIS LIGHT AND COULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 12 MPH AFTERWARDS REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. I TRIED STOPPING AND SHIFTING TO PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE, YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. NO LIGHTS CAME ON AND NO ALERTS POPULATED ON MY DASHBOARD SCREEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG ALTIMA OWNERS. THIS SEEMS TO RESULT FROM A DEFECTIVE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (CVT), AND THE FAILURE TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN WHEN I AM ON A BUSY ROAD OR INTERSTATE AS THIS IS IMMENSELY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY FATAL.

HEADLIGHTS GRADUALLY GET DIMMER AND DIMMER MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE PROBLEM IS NOT SIMPLE WEAR AND TEAR, RATHER IT IS THE BREAKING DOWN OF CERTAIN MATERIALS WITHIN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. ALL IT TAKES IS A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH ONLINE OF "2013 NISSAN ALTIMA DIM HEADLIGHTS" OR "2013 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS" TO SEE THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE WEBSITES WHERE MANY PEOPLE HAVE POSTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSIS FOR ME, AND FOR EVERYBODY ELSE I'VE READ ABOUT ONLINE, IS THAT THE PROJECTION LENSES BECOME HAZED OVER AND/OR THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE REFLECTOR BOWL DETERIORATES, AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO PURCHASE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, AND THE AVERAGE COSTS OF PARTS AND LABOR IS OVER $1000.00 (MY ESTIMATE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP/SERVICE SHOP IS $1089.53). SOME TESTIMONIALS ONLINE REPORTED HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH AS LITTLE AS 30,000 IN MILEAGE. MY ISSUE STARTED TO ARISE AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AFFECTING MANY MANY PEOPLE, THUS A RECALL IS MORE THAN WARRANTED.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 DIED IN THE PARKING LOT OF A HIGHWAY REST AREA. THE NISSAN MECHANIST LATER REPORTED THE CVT GOT MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND HAS TO BE REPLACED.

WE TOOK THE CAR FOR OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALER , THE DEALER REFUSE TO RELEASE THE CAR HE STATED THE CONTROL ARM IS SO RUSTED AND READY TO SNAP OFF, WE CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE THEY REFUSE TO DO THE REPAIR IT DOES MOST $1300.00 , IF THE CONTROL ARM SNAP WILE WE ARE DRIVING IT COULD BE FATAL, THE CAR HAVE ONLY 57,800 MILES SOME ONE NEED TO LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ONLY DANGERS FOR THE CAR DRIVER IT IT DANGERS FOR THE OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD, SOMEONE NEED TO HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS.

TRANSMISSION FAIL. MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED SHUDDERING AT ACCELERATION FOR FEW DAYS THEN SUDDENLY STARTED TO HESITATE AND GO INTO LIMP MODE. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL OR IN REVERSE. THIS HAS CAUSED A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST ITS POWER TO MOVE AS IF IT'S IN COMA. TWO MECHANIC SHOPS SAID THE CVT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACEMENT. COSTS 3500$. CANNOT AFFORD IT OF COURSE AND THE CAR ITSELF NOW IS NOT WORTH THIS AMOUNT.

THE DIM LIGHTS ON THIS CAR ARE SO DIM THAT I CAN'T SEE GOOD ENOUGH TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS TO SEE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DIM LIGHTS AND THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ARE LIKE NIGHT AND DAY. IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PARKING LOT AND A GRASSY DITCH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS AND ANYONE IN FRONT OF THE CAR THAT ARE NOT LIT-UP.

RPM METER FLUCTAUATING, P0841 -FAULTY TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON

I AM WRITING A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE VISIBILITY WITH USE OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. ON A HIGHWAY WITH NO STREETLIGHTS VISIBILITY IS ONLY APPROXIMATELY 3 FEET WITH A SHARP CUT OFF. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE ROAD HAZARDS UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE TO STOP. WHEN ON COMING CARS PASS VISIBILITY OF THE LINE ON THE EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD IS VERY MINIMAL. ON SECONDARY ROADS WITH NO LINE VISIBILITY OF EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THERE IS AN ON COMING CAR IS PRACTICALLY NOT THERE FORCING ME TO SLOW MY SPEED DRASTICALLY TO KEEP FROM EITHER RUNNING OFF THE ROAD OR HITTING THE ON COMING CAR. I HAVE MADE SERVAL ATTEMPTS AT NEW HEADLIGHT BULBS TO TRY AND EASE THE PROBLEM AND ONLY RECEIVED MARGINAL RESULTS WITH VERY EXPENSIVE LED BULBS. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED A FEW DEER RELATED ACCIDENTS WITH MY CURRENT NISSAN AND WOULD HAVE EASILY BEEN AVOIDED HAD I HAD SAFE VISIBILITY.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY DIM TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT KEEPING THE HEADLIGHTS ON BRIGHT ALL THE TIME. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE BULBS (DEALER VERIFIED THAT EVEN INSTALLING HIGH-INTENSITY BULBS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE), BUT WITH THE HALOGEN PROJECTOR LENS. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY AT A DEALER COST OF $1,000 FOR THE PAIR. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE FOR THE 2013-2015 MODEL ALTIMAS, AND DUE TO THE DANGER POSED BY THIS DEFECT I BELIEVE A RECALL IS NECESSITATED.

THE CLEAR COAT IS PEELING OFF ON THE HOOD AND TOP OF THE CAR. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM CAN BARLEY SEE AT NIGHT THIS HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVLY WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR HAS 98000 MILES ON IT

DIMMERS ON HEADLIGHT IS EXTREMELY DIM. THIS IS WHILE VEHICLE IS IDLE OR IN MOTION. CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING AT NIGHT. BRIGHT LIGHTS MUST BE ON TO SEE AT NIGHT
