2013 Nissan Altima complaints

CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH REAR WHEELS HAVE BROKEN IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS

DRIVING 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN BOTH REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS SNAPPED. THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE JERKED OUT TO THE LEFT AND I THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO ROLL. I MANAGED TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT AND GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. FOR A VISUAL...I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF A TWO LANE ROAD AND THE SKID MARK FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE NEARLY TOUCHED THE WHITE LINE NEAR THE SHOULDER. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP THEN CONTACTED NISSAN WHO SAID TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. TECH AT THE SHOP STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH WORSE THAN IT DID AND IF ONE TECH AND ONE SHOP HAS SEEN THIS MORE THAN ONCE, IT'S PROBABLY A WIDESPREAD ISSUE, YET....NO RECALLS. ALSO, THE TECH AT THE SHOP STATED THAT THE CONTROL ARMS HAD CLEAN BREAKS WITH GOOD METAL SHOWING SO THE PARTS WEREN'T CORRODED THROUGH...IT WAS OBVIOUSLY AN MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISDION ISSUES YESTERDAY AT MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I HAD NO WARNIING FOR MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THIS TRANSMISSION MODEL. I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS 2013 NISSAN TRANSMISSION ISSUE. MY CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS BLESSED KNOW ONE HIT ME. NOW I HAVE TO PUT OUT MONEY FOR A TRANSMISSION. I AM ON A FIX INCOME. NISSAN SHOULD LOOK AT THESE COMPLAINTS AND RECALL ISSUES WITH THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA TRANSMISSION AND ASSIST IN REIMBURSING THOSE THAT HAD TO REPLACE THIS DETECTIVE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS SERIOUS AND CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF YOUR CAR STALLS ON A HIGHWAY.. I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND HAVE KEPT MY CAR MAINTAINED.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN I LOST POWER I THEN PULLED OVER AND PARKED WHEN I PUT THE GEAR IN DRIVE IT WAS NO POWER I KEPT TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEAL AND THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALL THEY WANT IS THE MONEY FOR THE CAR NOTE SO ON 3/1/19 I TOOK MY CAR TO AAMCO TO RUN A TEST ON IT THIS IS THE 6 PLACE THAT TOLD MY MY TRANSMISSION IS BAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

MY CLUTCH IN STUCK IN "PARK". THIS HAS BEEN DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND I BC IF WE ARE STUCK IN TRAFFIC I WOULD PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND WHEN TRAFFIC STARTS MOVING AGAIN MY CAR IS NOW HOLDING UP TRAFFIC BEHIND ME BC MY CAR IS STUCK IN PARK. THIS CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND I'VE ALREADY HAD TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. NISSAN NEEDS TO KNOW THEY CAN'T SELL CARS THAT CAUSE A DANGER TO FAMILIES!!!!!!!

TWO HOURS FROM HOME CAR SHUT OFF ON HIGHWAY, AFTER IT START SHAKING DURING SHIFTS. AFTER TOW TO SERVICE STATION, THEN TO DEALERSHIP, AND HOME IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE BAD TRANSMISSION WITH 60,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WOULD JOLT FORWARD, TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING, AND THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN AT WILL. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED MAKING A RUBBING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE ALMOST LOST CONTROL FROM SWERVING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK HOME, AND MY BOYFRIEND PUT THE REAR END UP ON A JACK AND DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SUPPORT ARM WAS BROKEN. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD THE VEHICLE AT A LOCAL FIRESTONE SHOP, AND THE MECHANIC THERE CONFIRMED THAT THE CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION AT A FACTORY WELD SITE.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE , THE REFLECTOR BOWL ON FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT DETERIORATES AND DOES NOT REFLECT LIGHT . YOU CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS OFF AND WARNING LIGHT IS ON IN THE DASH

WE HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES INVOLVING OUR NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 INVOLVING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THE RECALLS HAVE NOT CONSISTED OF ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT. THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF THESE RECALLS (I BELIEVE 2 OR 3) OUR AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD AS WELL AS ON THE CENTER CONSOLE HAS INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND OFF. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR NISSAN TO A LOCAL NISSAN APPROVED DEALER FOR ALL OF OUR REVIEWS/REPAIRS. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO WE AGAIN TOOK OUR VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE LIGHT WAS ON DUE TO OUR CAR BATTERY BEING LOW. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. MY HUSBAND USED A READER AND THE CAR'S BATTERY WAS PERFECTLY FINE. JUST RECENTLY ON TUESDAY WE AGAIN TOOK OUR CAR IN BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS NOT TURNED OFF. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT OUR SIDE AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING, THEREFORE ALL OF THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF AND NOT PROPERLY WORKING. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR FOR THIS IS $1500 (NOT INCLUDING TAX). THIS ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. NISSAN HAS NOT MADE ANY EFFORTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN A BAND-AID RECALL. THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED. FINALLY, I RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION NOTIFICATION THAT THIS VEHICLE IS LISTED AS A ELIGIBLE MEMBER OF THIS CLASS ACTION. WWW.AUTOAIRBAGSETTLEMENT.COM. WE HAVE ALSO CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND WERE ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER - 34595466, HOWEVER NO ONE HAS PROVIDED US WITH ANY INFORMATION. THE WORK ON THIS VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY BEING DONE AND WILL BE READY ON FRIDAY, HOWEVER WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AND WIL

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS 55MPH A CLUNK WAS HEARD WHILE IN A TURN, AND THE LOWER RIGHT END OF THE CAR SANK DOWN. THE STEERING WENT COMPLETELY CRAZY AND OUT OF CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 20MPH FOR THE ENTIRE 30 MILE TRIP HOME. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME WAS BACK IN JANUARY 2019 WHEN THE LEFT ONE BROKE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK AGAIN! AND NOW I SEE THERE IS A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION ABOUT THIS EXACT THING.

REAR DRIVERS SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH AND BROKE OFF. RIGHT SIDE IS EQUALLY RUSTED BUT HAS NOT BROKEN OFF YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SWERVE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS DETACHED DUE TO CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION ALSO FAILED AT 90,000, LOWER CONTROL ARM RUSTED AND BROKE, ALMOST CAUSING CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER TO WRECK. TOTAL CONTROL ARM FAILURE.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FAULTY. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPAIRED THREE TIMES PREVIOUSLY. THE FAILURE PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING DRIVEN AT NIGHT DUE TO THE DIM HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ESTABROOK NISSAN (3693 14TH ST, PASCAGOULA, MS 39567, (228) 762-2644), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COCHRAN NISSAN OF SOUTH HILLS (3200 W LIBERTY AVE, PITTSBURGH, PA 15216) WHERE THEY REPLACED BOTH REAR LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

GEAR SHIFT IS UNABLE TO MOVE. IT WILL NOT MOVE WHEN BREAKS ARE PRESSED. ALSO, ENGINE DIES WHEN CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE ENGINE WILL ALSO DIE WHILE DRIVING, AND WHEN I GO TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT ONLY DIES WHEN I TRY TO SWITCH THE GEARS.

AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A OIL CHANGE THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST 2013 AND NEWER NISSAN ALTIMAS. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF 2013 AND NEWER NISSAN ALTIMAS ON THE ROAD AND A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST THESE VEHICLES IS THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. THESE PARTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION ON FRONT WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES AND THESE PARTS SHOULD NOT FAIL ON FIVE YEAR OR YOUNGER ROAD VEHICLES. THE FAILURE OF THESE PARTS ON SURFACE STREETS CAN BE POTENTIALLY DEADLY AND ON HIGHWAYS MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE HORRIFIC CASUALTIES DUE TO THE VEHICLES BEING I FILED A COMPLAINT ALREADY BUT YOU ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM A YEAR AGO AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DOING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THE LOWER CONTROL ARM LOOKS LIKE IT JUST CRUMBLED INTO PIECES. THAT'S NOT NORMAL OR SAFE. I REALLY HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. UNCONTROLLABLE DURING A FAILURE. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING THIS ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF NHTSA AND HOPEFULLY YOU CAN CONTACT THE APPROPRIATE SOURCES TO BE PROACTIVE AND PREVENT ANY FUTURE ACCIDENTS THAT THE NISSAN ALTIMA MIGHT CREATE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BECAME JAMMED IN THE WHEEL WELL AND ALMOST DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TREIBER NISSAN (320 N COMRIE AVE, JOHNSTOWN, NY 12095, (888) 439-3352) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW REAR SUSPENSION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,020. AUDIO AVAILABLE*CW

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM ON LOW BEAM ACTUALLY THEY'RE USELESS!! HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR TO SEE IF THEY WERE EVEN ON. HIGH BEAMS ARE OKAY BUT I CAN'T DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON BC OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

DRIVING MY ALTIMA ON TOLLWAY FELT A SHIMMY WENT HALF WAY INTO NEXT LANE WHEN I GAINED CONTROLL STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT STRAIGHT WHEN I INVESTIGATED FOUND RT REAR CONTROL ARM REAR ATACHMENT POINT BROKEN IN HALF LOOKS LIKE RUSTED IN HALF TOOK PICTURES AND HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HEARD A "POP" AND THE STEERING BECAME UNSTABLE ON MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH THE CAR VEERING LEFT AND RIGHT. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. I THOUGHT I HAD A BLOW OUT BUT THE TIRES WERE FINE. IF IT HAD BEEN RUSH HOUR I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHERE THEY INDICATED I HAD A REAR CONTROL ARM FAILURE. THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS CLEARLY LEANING OUTWARD AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS WAY OUT OF ALIGNMENT. NISSAN REPLACED (SEE ATTACHED RECEIPT) THE LINK COMPL REAR, LINK COMPLETE, R; TWO ROD CONNECTING AND ADSORBER KIT. THEY ALSO ALIGNED THE CAR. I HAD THEM REPAIR BOTH THE BROKEN LEFT SUSPENSION ITEMS AS WELL AS THE RIGHT AS I DIDN'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I DO BELIEVE THIS FAILURE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND REALLY COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS TRAVELLING IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

MY LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE IN UNLIT AREAS. IT DOESN'T APPEAR THE LIGHT ARE ON BUT THEY ARE. IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOU HAVE TO PUT ON HIGH BEAMS BUT HAVE TO TAKE OFF ON ON COMING TRAFFIC. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE TO FIX THE LIGHTING

VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION CAUSES ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AT IDLE (WHILE WAITING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT). ALSO CAUSES VIOLENT SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATING. NISSAN HAS A "RECALL" TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION MODULE STATING THAT IT IT IS NOT DONE TRANSMISSION DAMAGE WILL HAPPEN. HOWEVER WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND IT SEEMS TO APPEAR THIS NOTICE CAME OUT ONLY IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. MEANING NISSAN KNOWS THE TRANSMISSION IS BEING DAMAGED. BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD MENIT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION ($4400). CALLED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA WHERE THEY DECIDED TO DENY ANY CLAIM TO REPLACE THE TRANMISSION... EVEN THOUGH AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED THEY KNEW THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. HAVE TRIED TO REACH BACK OUT TO NISSAN AND HAD TO LEAVE A MESSAGE ASKING MY "REP" TO CALL ME BACK THE NEXT DAY.... WHICH SHE NEVER DID OF COURSE.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL YET. THESE THINGS CAN'T LIGHT UP MORE THAN 5-10FT IN FRONT OF YOU AT NIGHT. I HAVE BECOME A RIDESHARE DRIVER AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE IF YOU ASK ME. I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS WHENEVER DRIVING IN A NON-LIT AREA WHICH AFFECTS ONCOMING TRAFFIC REGULARLY. I HAVE REPLACED BULBS MULTIPLE TIMES, UPGRADING TO THE BEST LIGHTS EACH TIME AND TO NO EFFECT. WHAT'S IT GONNA TAKE??? DEATH BEFORE THIS ISSUE BECOMES A PROBLEM TO YOU PEOPLE?? SICKENING IS WHAT IT IS. I DON'T HAVE $1000 TO FIX ON MY OWN AND IF I DID I STILL WOULDN'T. PLEASE RECALL VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE I KILL PEOPLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SUSPENSION ARM FRACTURED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID CRASHING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LIA NISSAN OF COLONIE (2233 CENTRAL AVE, SCHENECTADY, NY 12304, 855-983-6728), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. *DT *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON SNOW AND ICE COVERED ROAD WHEN PASSENGER SIDE LOWER REAR CONTROL ARM SNAPPED OFF FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED.

ON JANUARY 14TH 2019 WHILE DRIVING 30MPH, THE REAR CONTROL ARM ON THE ALTIMA FAILED AND MADE THE CAR UN-DRIVE-ABLE, THE REAR END OF THE CAR FELL TO THE GROUND. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO INJURY AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE CONTROL ARM FAILED DUE TO CORROSION, AND I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HERB CHAMBERS NISSAN IN WESTBOROUGH MA. IT WAS IN THEIR SERVICE AREA FROM 1/15/2019 - 1/7/2019. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE, COMPONENTS SUCH AS CONTROL ARMS THAT AFFECT A PERSON'S ABILITY TO CONTROL A CAR SHOULD NOT BE CORRODING LET ALONE FAILING IN 6 YEARS. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND DEAL WITH THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PART/METAL SUPPLIER. THE ISSUE IS SAME AS THE ONE IN THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION: REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM FAILURE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE18013

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR RANDOMLY FLASHED AND THEN REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBERS: EA15004 (AIR BAGS) AND (RQ15001) AIR BAGS ALONG WITH FOUR UNKNOWN AIR BAG RECALL CAMPAIGNS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. DARCARS NISSAN COLLEGE PARK (9330 BALTIMORE AVE, COLLEGE PARK, MD 20740, (301) 441-8000) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT AN APPOINTMENT WAS NOT SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO TISCHER NISSAN (3510 FORT MEADE RD, LAUREL, MD 20724, (301) 498-3322) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY AIR BAG RECALL CAMPAIGNS. NEITHER DEALER PROVIDED THE GUIDELINES TO INSPECT AND DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT THEY SAID IT BROKE BECAUSE OF RUST AND CORROSION AND THAT MY WARRANTY WONT COVER IT BECAUSE IT BROKE FROM RUST AND CORROSION. I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR AGO AND I BOUGHT IT AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWED VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING AND TURNING ONTO ANOTHER STREET WHEN IT HAPPEN.

LOWBEAM LIGHTS ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT !MUST USE HIGH BEAMS TO SEE MORE THAN 20 FEET AHEAD

TAKATA RECALL- THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM, IT'S ALMOST AS IF THEY DON'T EVEN WORK. I CAN BARELY SEE IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAVE TO USE THE BRIGHTS IF I AM DRIVING TO EVEN SEE A LITTLE BIT. THIS CAR IS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE! THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALREADY AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE! I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. SAFETY HAZARD BY FAR!!!

THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE REFLECTOR (WHERE YOUR BULB IS SEATED) HAS OXIDIZED AND BURNT OFF THE LOW BEAM PORTION OF THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. THE LIGHTS ARE COMPLETELY USELESS AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT.

I WAS DRIVING UNDER 25 MPH (IN A STRAIGHT LINE) ON A SMOOTH RODE WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY CAR FELT LIKE IT LOCKED UP FOR A SECOND. MY STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY LOST ALIGNMENT AND THE WHEEL NEEDED TO BE KEPT AT 2:30 TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. I MADE IT LESS THAN A MILE AFTER THE INITIAL INCIDENT (I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST WHEEL OUT OF ALIGNMENT) BUT WITH EACH RODE BUMP I HIT, MY BACK END GOT LOOSER AND LOOSER. I FINALLY PULLED OFF AND PACKED MY CAR. WHEN I WENT TO MOVE IT, IN REVERSE, THE WAS A LARGE NOISE AND I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS FRACTURED IN THE SUSPENSION. THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WAS CRASHED INTO THE WHEEL WHEEL AND THE CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME THING NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE18013 IS IN REGARD TO, AND I LIVE IN CLEVELAND, OH, WITH MORE THAN 100,000 MILES OF MY CAR'S 130,000 MILES PUT ON IN NORTHERN OHIO.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR JUST DIED ALL OF A SUDDEN. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND GOOD THING AND NOT ON HIGHWAY. I STARTED IT AGAIN, ONLY TO DIE AGAIN AFTER PUTTING INTO DRIVE. THERE WAS JERKY, SHUDDERED AND HESITATION. IT DIED THREE TIMES BEFORE I COULD PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS OK FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND NOW IT HAPPENS DAILY. WHILE ACCELERATING OR COMING TO A STOP, IT SHAKES, JERKS, SHUDDERS, VIBRATES. VERY SPOOKY. I AM AFRAID OF IT DYING ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY. NOT SAFE AT ALL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS THE CVT CONTROL VALVE BODY WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS VERY COMMON WITH 2013 & 2014 ALTIMAS. REPAIR COST WILL BE $1,700. I ONLY HAVE 49,000 MILES ON IT. BUT BECAUSE I OWNED IT FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS, I AM TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED ON WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT FAIR. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS CONSISTENT PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS. ALL NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE TO MAKE NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED FROM THE PARK POSITION INTO DRIVE, IT FAILED TO MOVE. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS MOVED INTO REVERSE, THE VHEICLE FAILED TO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ST. CHARLES NISSAN (LOCATED AT 5625 VETERANS MEMORIAL PKWY, ST PETERS, MO 63376) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 34414336. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A HIGHWAY, AND ESPECIALLY AT STOP LIGHTS, THE TACHOMETER WOULD DROP TO 0 RPM AND I WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO GET THE VEHICLE GOING AGAIN BY RESTARTING THE ENGINE, SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER GETTING HOME, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO MOVE EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WOULD START. THE VEHICLE WAS 3000 MILES OVER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY LIMIT OF 60,000 MILES, SO I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL AAMCO TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE AAMCO SHOP FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED AND DETERMINED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH COST ROUGHLY $4000.

FEBRUARY 2018, DRIVER SIDE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE OFF (RUSTED) WHILE DRIVING., TOWED TO GARAGE, PART REPLACED.CHECKED RIGHT SIDE IT APPEARED OK. DECEMBER 2018 CHRISTMAS NIGHT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CONTROL ARM ON THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SIDE BROKE OFF (RUST). HAD TO BE TOWED , CONTROL ARM AND OTHER BENT PARTS REPLACED. HAVE PICTURES HAD TROUBLE DOWNLOADING

SHIFT HANDLE DOES NOT MOVE OUT OF PARKING UNLESS YOU PUSH DOWN ON THE SHIFT RELEASE BUTTON WITH A HARD STRAIGHT OBJECT LIKE A PEN OR ALLEN WRENCH.

PULLING OUT AND THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE AND FELL ON THE GROUND!

MY CONTROL ARM SNAPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, DUE TO CORROSION. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET INTO A PARKING LOT.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A SENSORY RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. PRIOR TO THIS THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WORKED PROPERLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP ADJUSTED THE SENSORS AND SINCE THEN THE AIRBAG INDICATOR HAS NOT BEEN WORKING PROPERLY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO HAVE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT READJUST THE SENSORS IN THE SEAT BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM CORRECTED BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT SEE A PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THEM PICTURES AND VIDEOS SHOWING A PASSENGER IN MY CAR WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT STILL ON. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE WITH THIS PROBLEM AS WELL. NISSAN CORPORATE HAS TOLD ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THE LIGHT/AIRBAG HAS NOT ENGAGED WHEN PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT BUT THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED AT 7:30 IN THE EVENING WHEN I WAS OUT OF TOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING NOW SINCE 2017. I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE FOR EVERYONE THAT RIDES IN IT. THANK YOU... I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT BUT CAN'T GET IT TO LOAD TO THE DOCUMENT.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM ON LOW BEAM IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT OR IN THE FOG OTHER MOTORISTS HAVE CROSSED INTO MY LANE BECAUSE THEY CAN HARDLY SEE ME.I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOTHING HAS HELPED DEALER SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY.

SHIFT GEAR GET STUCK AT PARKING MODE WHILE MOVING CAR. THIS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM AT IT MAY OCCUR WHILE MOVING. WE APPROACH NISSAN BUT NO HELP FROM THEM. HOW COME NISSAN ALLOW TO NOT HAVING RECALL ON THIS AS MANY OWNERS ARE FEELING THIS PROBLEM. WE WOULD APPRECIATE IF NHTSA COMES IN HELP. WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM GOING SINCE ONE MONTH AND VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WE ARE LUCKY THAT SO FAR NO MAJOR INCIDENT. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEM IF NOT FIX PROPER BY NISSAN. WHILE SEARCHING THIS PROBLEM AT ONLINE, MANY OWNERS ARE FELLING THIS ISSUE. ALSO NISSAN OFFERING SOLUTION TO PROBLEM AT YOUTUBE.COM . HERE IS VIDEO FROM NISSAN. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TQ4UNTC8SAW SURPRISED THAT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION EVEN KNOWING THIS.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 65K MILEAGE

WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY THE VEHICAL BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND SHOOK VIGOROUSLY AT 35 MPH . STOPPED TO INSPECT AND FOUND THE RIGHT REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKEN.

HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM WHICH CAUSES LOW NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY. THE LENS COVERS ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE CLEARLY AT NIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

IN 2018 INITIALLY IT STARTED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING IT DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR STREET AND IT SEEM TO LOSE POWER AND WE WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD SPUTTER. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN WE'RE AT THE STOPLIGHT AND PRESS ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS UNTIL IT WOULDN'T MOVE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, SO TOWED HOME THEN TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A RECALL ON A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ONLY TO FIND OUT FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY COULD NOT UPDATE THE CONTROL MODULE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID WE NEEDED A CVT AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY TRANSMISSION. WE BOUGHT IT USED IN 2016 AND NOW IT ONLY HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM OUT OF IT UNTIL LAST YEAR 2018. NOW WHEN WE PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IT WILL NOT MOVE.

MY LOW BEAMS HAVE BEEN VERY DIM TO THE POINT WHERE I USE MY HIGH BEAMS TO SEE AT NIGHT. I RECENTLY REPLACED THE BULBS WITH BRAND NEW ONES THINKING THAT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THEY STILL SHOW VERY DIM. WHEN I HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE, THEY ASK IF MY HEADLIGHTS ARE EVEN ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH ALMOST NO VISIBILITY AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN.
