2013 Nissan Altima complaints

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS IT HAS BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. ABOUT 1 1/2 YRS AGO I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALER AND COMPLAINED. THEY CHARGED BY $200TO CHECK THE LIGHTS, WIRING ECT. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THE LIGHTS WERE DEFINITELY NOT OPERATING AS THEY SHOULD BUT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING IN THE INITIAL SEARCH AND I WOULD NEED TO BRING THE CAR BACK AND LEAVE IF FOR THEM TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE WHICH I COULD NOT AFFORD. I COMMUTE 100 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD AFTER SUNSET WITH MY LOW BEAMS. I WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE THE VEHICLE 3 BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE TO THE CORNER STORE THE LOW BEAMS HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD. IN ADDITION TO ME NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING DRIVERS HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING ME BECAUSE THE LOW BEAMS ARE DIM AND THE HIGH BEAMS ARE BLINDING AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH

CAR WOULD TURN OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR IDLE. WOULD START BACK UP, BUT TURN BACK OFF WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. THE WORST TIME THIS WAS EXPERIENCED WAS DURING AN ON RAMP MERGER ON THE HIGHWAY.

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 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.

3 DOOR LATCHES BROKE ON MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA, WITHIN 3 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. I TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN FOR REPAIRS THINKING IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY OR RECALL AS SO MANY OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PART IN THE LATCH THAT BREAKS ON THAT MODEL VEHICLE; THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP HAD FIXED 30 OR SO WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. IT COST ME ABOUT $500 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAD BEEN ROLLING THE DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW DOWN TO GET OUT BUT HAD TO HAVE THE BACK DOORS REPAIRED BECAUSE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND IF THERE HAD BEEN AN ACCIDENT THE CHILDREN WOULD BE TRAPPED IN THE BACKSEAT. I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE TO COMPLAIN. THEY CONSIDERED MY CASE FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND CAME BACK WITH A DETERMINATION THAT THEY COULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. EVEN THE NISSAN DEALER INDICATED THAT SINCE SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A RECALL SHOULD BE GIVEN. I AM DISAPPOINTED AT THE LACK OF ACTION PROVIDED BY NISSAN! GOD-FORBID IF SOMEONE GETS HURT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET OUT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT! I HAVE ATTACHED 9 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER 2013 ALTIMA OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN SHOULD IMMEDIATELY ISSUE A RECALL AND REIMBURSE THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED.

CVT TRASMISSION HAS FAILED AFTER 76000 MILES. CAUSES CAR TO DIE WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP.

TRANSMISSION WHINING LOOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAY VERY DANGEROUS

PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT DETECTING WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING, THE AIRBAG ICON IS TURNED ON AND WONT TURN OFF,ON BOTH DASHBOARD AND IN THE CONSOLE.

MY NISSAN ALTIMA STARTING BUMPING WHEN DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW CVT GOES BAD IN ALL OF THEIR MODELS AFTER 60,000 WHICH IS WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED EXTREMELY DIMLY, CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE LIGHT BULBS, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SL WITH 66K. TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED AT 66K MILES. NISSAN DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE. AFTER HEARING IT WOULD COST ME OVER 3700 TO REPLACE I BEGAN DOING RESEARCH ON THESE CVT TRANSMISSION. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CVTS. SO WITH ALL OF THE BAD REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET, I INQUIRED WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WITH ASSISTANCE IN THIS COST. I WAITED A WEEK FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME IN THIS REPAIR. NISSAN HAS RECALLED A NUMBER OF YEARS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 60K TO 120K. THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THERE IS NO REASON A TRANSMISSION IS NEEDING REPLACED AT 60K. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE NISSAN IS VERY KNOWN FOR THE RELIABILITY AND THEIR CARS ARE SUPPOSE TO LAST. AFTER HAVING THIS ISSUE AND HEARING NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE IS VERY FRUSTRATING. THIS IS DEFF A DANGER ISSUE. MY VEHICLE GAVE ME NO INDICATION OR LIGHTS THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE UNTIL I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 4 CHILDREN WHEN IT WENT FROM 80 TO 50 MPH I'M CRUISE. AND THEN HESITATING TO GO AND I WAS AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THEE TRANSMISSION.

MY VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. WOULD NOT START AND I COASTED TO THE SIDE AND HAD TO GET A TOW. CHECK ENGINE LITE WAS ON. NO CODES FOUND. CAR SAT FOR A WEEK AND THEN STARTED RIGHT UP AND DROVE FINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. CAR STARTED STALLING AGAIN ONLY WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, AND AS LONG AS I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND GAVE IT GAS, THEN THREW IT INTO DRIVE I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. STILL NO LIGHT ON. CAR DROVE SEMI GOOD FOR A WEEK OR SO, SEEMED TO RUN A LITTLE ROUGH BUT DIDN'T STALL OUT. A FEW DAYS AGO IT STARTED TO NOT TAKE GAS AND REV UP ON ITS OWN. I WOULD START TO GO AND THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE BY ITSELF. WHEN I WAS ON HIGHWAY, OR REGULAR ROADS. USUALLY UNDER 50 MILES AN HOUR. TACHOMETER WOULD REV EVEN THOUGH CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO GO ANY FASTER. THEN IT JUST STOPPED TAKING GAS ALL TOGETHER. NOW TODAY IT JUST STOPPED GOING. I WOULD GIVE IT GAS AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. I SHUT OFF AND TURNED ON AND IT WOULD GO FOR A LITTLE AND THEN STOP. NOW CHECK ENGINE LITE CAME ON AND THE FIRST CODE P0776 IS FOR A BULLETIN THAT WENT OUT AND THE THE OTHER CODE IS FOR P0965. PICTURES ARE ATTACHED. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, WORRIED THAT I WILL GET INTO A CRASH. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND SAW THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE MILEAGE IS AT 77,000. THE MAJORITY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE I READ HAD AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE. IS THIS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF?

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON SOLID ON DASHBOARD SYMBOL LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE SHOWS AIRBAG OFF ON PASSENGER SIDE I WAS TOLD MY VIN IS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. NOT AFTER THE FACT IF AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY. I SHOULD NOT BE CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WHEN MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR HAS BEEN RECALLED ALREADY.

THE AMBER PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT STAYS ON WITH THE RED AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY FLASHING.ALL OF THE RECALL NOTICES I HAVE READ DON'T INCLUDE MY CAR BUT THE CRITERIA SEEM TO FIT THE RECALL NOTICES.

A/C HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY TILL IT JUST STOPED. THE AC BLOWS AIR INTERMITTENT COLD AND HOT. COMPRESSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. FILLED WITH FREON BUT WILL NOT CONSISTENTLY BLOW COLD. HEADLIGHTS VERY DIM. THE LENSES ARE CLEAR

THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 NISSAN ALIMA CVT 2.5 MODEL. THE CAR STOPS WHEN IDELING WHICH CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE ROAD. THE RPM WILL FLUCTUATE WITHOUT WARNING AND GEARS SLIPPING AT ROAD SPEEDS. SIMILAR CASES HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED IN VARIOUS FORUM AND NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE THIS AS THERE RESPONSIBILTY OF CREATING AN INFERIOR QUALITY PRODUCT. IT IS TIME NISSAN OWNS UP TO IT

MY HEADLIGHTS STARTING BECOMING DIM AROUND 70,000 MILES THEY GOT SO DIM THAT I COLD OLY DRIVE AT NIGHT USING MY HIGH BEAMS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED SO I WENT AHEAD AND DID THAT. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AS THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE REPAIR COST ABOUT $1,200 AND NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO HELP OR ADMIT THERE WAS A DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED MAKING A STRANGE NOISE, SHIFTING HARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON...I DECIDED TO LEAVE THE HIGHWAY AS THE CAR WAS LOSING SPEED. AT THE FIRST LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD... THE TROUBLE IS THAT I DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND CARS IN FROM OF ME STARTED MOVING AND I COULDN'T ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND BY INCOMING CARS. ENDED UP MOVING SLOWLY TO THE SIDE. GOT THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER THAT ADVISED THAT IT A CVT FAILURE. MY CAR HAS 83K MILES, NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO HELP.

THE CONTROL ARM ON MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA BROKE WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY ON (7/20) DURING RUSH HOUR, CAUSING ME TO LOSE STEERING IN THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. THE EQUIPMENT FAILURE CAUSED ME TO BE STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY, FORCING ME TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST AUTO REPAIR SHOP, COSTING ME $2,220 IN REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 72,720 MILES WHEN THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED. IN REACHING OUT TO I-90 NISSAN IN SHEFFIELD OHIO, WHICH IS WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY BUT DEFERRED ME TO NISSAN CORPORATE TO FILE A CLAIM WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS. CONSUMER AFFAIRS DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE I DID NOT TAKE MY VEHICLE TO AN 'AUTHORIZED DEALER'. WHILE STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE LAST PLACE I WAS THINKING ABOUT TAKING ME VEHICLE WAS TO THE DEALER (15+ MILES AWAY) THAT SOLD ME A CAR THAT HAD A MAJOR EQUIPMENT FAILURE IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS OF OWNING IT. I NEEDED TO HAVE MY BROKEN CONTROL ARM REPLACED, THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT TO BREAK DUE TO RUST AND STRESS FRACTURES. IN ADDITION, I NEEDED MY STABILIZER ARMS REPLACED. ATTACHED IS A PHOTO OF THE BROKEN CONTROL ARM. YOU CAN SEE ON THE BROKEN CONTROL ARM THERE IS A HOLE AT THE TOP, WHICH WAS NOT WELDED CLOSED, ALLOWING WATER AND SALT TO ENTER, RUSTING THE CONTROL ARM FROM BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THIS EXCESSIVE RUST IS WHAT LED TO THE CONTROL ARM TO FAIL AND BREAK.

NISSAN HEADLIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE. NISSAN KNOWS THIS. NISSAN KNOWS THAT HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM & DRIVERS CAN'T SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD WHICH RESULTS IN INJURY & DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VENT CONTROLS FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN USING THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HOT AIR BLEW OUT OF THE VENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY MORE THAN ONE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DEALER (AUTONATION NISSAN LAS VEGAS, 5800 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89146, 702-886-2004) DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED FROM A MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN FOR THE 9999 CUMMINS AIR COMPRESSOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEATBELT AND AIRBAG FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS IN A VIOLENT ACCIDENT WHERE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT AND AIRBAG DID NOT OPERATE. THE DRIVER'S HEAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING MINOR BLEEDING IN THE HEAD. *JS *BF

AIR BAG LIGHT ON IN MY CAR DON DAVIS NISSAN WONT LOOK AT IT BEFORE I PAY 100 AND THIS IS RECALL PROBLEM..MEANING I HAVE NO WORKING AIR BAGS..I CAN NOT DRIVE CAR BECAUSE ITS NOT SAFE..PLEASE HELP IN SOLVING THIS STILL OWE 3 YRS ON THIS CAR.I CALLED AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM..NO HELP

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT A NORMAL SPEED AND REALIZED MY HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM TO A POINT I THOUGHT MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I CHECKED FROM THE INTERIOR AND THEY WERE IN THE AUTO POSITION. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THEM AND FOUND OUT THEY WERE ACTUALLY BOTH ON AND LIT. I HAVE HAD ALL OF MY SYSTEMS AND MY BATTERY CHECKED AND EVERYTHING WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS AN EXTREME HAZARD. IF YOU UTILIZE THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS THE LIGHTING IS STILL NOT THE BEST AND IS HAZARDOUS TO OTHER DRIVERS. THE LIGHTING IS THE SAME AT NIGHT IF YOU AR DRIVING OR IF YOU ARE IN A STATIONARY POSITION.

MY CAR RECENTLY TODAY STATED TO LOCK THE DEAR SHIFT WHEN I PARK IT STARTED THIS MORNING AND HAS CONTINUED EVERY TIME I TURN OFF MY CAR. PREVIOUS ISSUE I TOOK IT IN TO NISSAN TYNANS ON HAVANA IN AURORA CO (NEVER GO THERE) BECAUSE IT IS SPUTTERING ANY TIME I ACCELERATE AT ANY SPEED ON ANY ROAD RIGHT BEFORE IT WOULD WHAT YOU CALL BACK IN THE DAY SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR. TYNANS FIRST SAID IT WAS A BATTERY CABLE AND WHEN IT WASNT FIXED THEY ARE SAY THERE ISNT ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I BELIEVE THE CVT IS CAUSING IT TO SPUTTER I TOLD TYNANS I THOUGHT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE TO BEGIN WITH. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY CAR IS NOT FIXED AND IS STILL SPUTTERING AND JUST BOUGHT IT OWE ABOUT $14000 STILL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 60 MPH. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START PROPERLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE BATTERY HAD TO BE JUMPSTARTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED BENTON NISSAN OF HOOVER AT (205) 938-6103 (LOCATED AT 1640 MONTGOMERY HWY, HOOVER, AL 35216) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH PASSENGER IS IN SEAT. GOES AWAY AFTER RESTARTING ENGINE

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TOO DIM, BARELY I CAN SEE IN FRONT OF VEHICLE, I HAVE TO LOOK TO THE DASHBOARD TO KNOW IF THE ARE ON OR OFF, IN CITY DRIVING THEY DO NOT PROVIDE MUCH HELP.

THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAVE BOTH BROKEN. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MANUFACTURING ON THIS. I HAVE OWNED 4 VEHICLES IN MY LIFE, WITH ALL 4 OF THOSE VEHICLES HAVING MORE THAN 100,000 MILES ON THEM WHEN I TRADED THEM OR STOPPED DRIVING THEM, AND HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH THE DOOR HANDLES. THIS CAR CURRENTLY HAS ALMOST 73,000 MILES ON IT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE LAST YEAR AND THE REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE THIS MORNING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE THE CAR NEEDS TO BE EXITED IMMEDIATELY AND WE CAN'T BECAUSE THE DOOR HANDLES WILL NOT WORK!

THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2013, DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BREAKS, TRAPPING INDIVIDUAL IN CAR CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE IN ANY URGENT OR EMERGENCY SITUATION. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN COMPLAINT HAPPENED. FREQUENT OCCURRENCE WITH THOUSANDS OR MODELS 2011-2015 AS INDICATED BY CONSUMER REPORTS. CONSIDERATION FOR RECALL.

THE 2 FRONT INSIDE DOOR HANDLES STOPPED FUNCTIONING WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. THE DOOR HANDLE WOULD JUST SWING FREELY LIKE IT WASN'T CONNECTED TO ANYTHING. I WOULD HAVE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE THEN ROLL THE WINDOW BACK UP TO BE ABLE TO TURN MY CAR OFF. IT COST NEARLY $300 TO FIX THE ISSUES OVER 2 DIFFERENT APPOINTMENTS AT THE DEALERSHIP.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 44K MILEAGE. FIRST THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SIGNS ON HIGHWAY. THEN AFTER REPROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION BY DEALER, CAR RUNS ABNORMALLY. ENGINE RPM UNSTABLE, UNPREDICTABLE, CAUSING SPEED CHANGES. NO PEDAL RESPONSE OR SLOW ACCELERATION. DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY OVER 40 MPH. GEAR SHIFTING BETWEEN D AND N VERY OFTEN LEAVE THE GEAR IN N FOR A FEW SECONDS.

AFTER NORMAL DRIVING, I PARKED THE CAR, GRABBED THE DRIVER SIDE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IT JUST SORT OF FLOPPED OUT. THERE WAS NO CONNECTION TO THE INTERIOR PIECES TO OPEN THE DOOR. TO EXIT, I HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING, OPEN THE WINDOW, REACH THROUGH AND USE THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR (WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT AS I AM NOT TALL), THEN CLOSE THE WINDOW AGAIN BEFORE I CAN TURN OFF THE CAR AND EXIT.

AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR BLOWS HOT AIR. MACHANIC STATED THAT THE A.C COMPRESSOR HAS INTERNAL MECHANICAL FAILURE CAUSING HIGH SUCTION SIDE PRESSURE. ALSO, IT IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD THREE DOORS THAT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT SEEMS IT CAN BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE IF INVOLVED IN CRASH BECAUSE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE. IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE DUE TO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE SURROUNDING EXACT SAME ISSUE PLEASE HELP WHAT FOOD IS IT TO GET IT FIX ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPENE AGAIN BECAUSE OF PARTS USED BY MANUFACTURERS.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYS RED NO BLINKING SINCE I PURCHASED MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 IN NOVEMBER 2012. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM AT LEAST 3 TO 5 TIMES AT NISSAN DEALSHIPS. THEY REPROGRAMED SYSTEM AND RAN THE CODES. LAST YEAR 2017 IN JULY THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND TAKEN STERLING MCCALL NISSAN HOUSTON, TX AND THEY SAID CODE READ SENSOR AND THE DRIVER BACK SEAT MODULE NEED TO REPLACE WHOLE UNIT AND NOT COVERED AND SO I GOT INTO MY CAR THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND NEVER CAME BACK ON UNTIL NOW ON JUN 23 2018 WHEN I STARTED MY CAR UP IN MY GARAGE. NO ONE HAS GIVEN ME A CONCRETE ANSWER IF THERE IS DEFAULT ON MY AIRBAG LIGHT GOING ON SOMETIMES AND THEN STAYS OFF. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH NISSAN MFG MORE THEN ONE TIME AND OPEN UP A CASE AND THEY NOT WANTING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM THEY JUST TELL ME TO GO TO DEALERSHIP AND CLOSE MY CASE. I BELIEVE I HAVE BAD AIRBAG OR SENOR CONTROL UINT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE LOOK INTO MY MECHANICAL HISTORY OF MY CAR.

THE GEAR SHIFT IN MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA STOPPED WORKING. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON YOUTUBE AND IT SAID THAT THE BRAKE SENSOR WAS NOT RELAYING INFORMATION TO THE GEAR SHIFT. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE EMERGENCY SHIFT LOCK MUST BE USED TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK.THE PROBLEM BEGAN GRADUALLY, WITH THE GEAR SIFT BECOMING "STUCK" WHEN SHIFTING, AND IN A MATTER OF 2 MONTHS, THE GEAR SHIFT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR IT WILL NOT SHIFT. ONCE IT IS TAKEN OUT OF PARK, IT WILL SHIFT BETWEEN ANY GEARS WITH NO PROBLEM, UNTIL IT IS PLACED BACK IN PARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE SPEED REDUCED BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (GERMAIN NISSAN OF COLUMBUS, 4600 MORSE RD, COLUMBUS, OH) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TAKATA RECALL AFTER RETURNING FROM A ROAD TRIP I NOTICED MY CAR SHAKING AND WHEN CHANGING GEARS THE CAR PAUSES BEFORE ACCELERATING. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT ONLY COVERS THE ENGINE. WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN RECENTLY EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO 100K MILES WHERE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THE REPAIRS AND GIVE ME A RENTAL WHILE IT'S IN THE SHOP. NISSAN IS NOT GOING TO FIX THE REPAIRS BUT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.

MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS DIDN'T OCCUR UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER, I HAD THE PASSENGER SENSOR LIGHT AIRBAG DETECTOR WORKED ON. WITH ALL THE FACTORY RECALL, I FEEL AS IF THIS NEED TO BE CHECKED INTO. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DO NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HE HAVE REPAIRED OR TOWED SEVERAL NISSAN ALTIMA THAT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT,

IN JULY/AUGUST OF 2017, MY VEHICLE WAS SPUTTERING AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY TURN OFF. THERE WERE SEVERAL SCENARIOS WHEN THIS HAPPENED DURING BUSY TRAFFIC. UPON RECEIVING A MANUFACTURER RECALL, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE ON THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER SYSTEM. ALL SEEMED FIXED UNTIL JUNE OF 2018 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AGAIN WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER WAS DAMAGED AND I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $4,300. UPON INTERNET RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM FOR NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION; IN FACT, NISSAN EXTENDED 2012 AND PREVIOUS MODELS TRANSMISSION WARRANTIES TO 10 YEAR 120,000 MILES. SO FAR, NISSAN HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE OR GOOD WILL IN FIXING THE DEFECTED PART / ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. AS I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE RPMS INCREASED WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN SPEED. AS I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT INTERSTATE, THE VEHICLE STALLED BEFORE EXIT RAMP. MULTIPLE VEHICLES HAD TO MANEUVER AROUND ME. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK ON SHOULDER OF INTERSTATE AND LET ABOUT 5 MINUTES GO BY BEFORE TESTING ACCELERATION. UPON TESTING, IT MAINTAINED ENOUGH SPEED (25 MPH TOP SPEED) FOR ME TO EXIT INTERSTATE AND RETURN TO DEALERSHIP NEAR ME. ONCE I MADE IT TO DEALERSHIP, CAR SHUT OFF. IT HAD JUST BEEN REPAIRED FOR SOME RECALL CENTERED AROUND TRANSMISSION.

TAKETA RECALL. MY NISSA ALTIMA, 3.5SV COULDN'T SHOW CORRECT GASOLINE USAGE MILES ON THE CAR DISPLAY AFTER GASOLINE WAS FULL FILLED SINCE THIS SUNDAY. THE USAGE MILES IS ONLY GOING DOWN THE CAR RUN SOME DISTANCE. NISSAN DEALER DON'T FIND ANY ISSUE BY COMPUTER PROGRAM READING TODAY. I AM VERY CONCERN THIS ISSUE. DEALER SUGGESTS ME TO PAY THE ADVANCED CHECKING FEE. THIS VECHICLE WAS IN RECALL.

THE CAR SHIFT LOCK BUTTON LOCKS THE CAR IN GEAR, THE CAR IS UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED FROM A PARK POSITION TO DRIVE, REVERSE OR ANY OTHER GEAR WHILE IN PARK OR ANY OTHER GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTFUL IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND THE CAR CANNOT BE PUT INTO GEAR! I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY BECAUSE WHEN I WAS PARALLEL PARKING ON A STREET PASSING CARS HAD TO WAIT AND CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HITTING MY CAR.

I HAVE TAKING TO THE NISSAN DEALER, THE SHIFT GEAR WILL NOT MOVE OR SWITCH GEAR DO TO THE PROBLEM WITH THE SOLENOID, IS NOT CONNECTING, I HEAR IS A RECALL BUT THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX IT, BECAUSE BY THE TIME I HAVE THIS PROBLEM MY CAR WAS OVER 60,000 MILES. IT WILL COST ME OVER $800 OUT OF MY PACKET. I BEEN BACK AND FORT DRIVING WITH THEM AND REFUSED TO WORK WITH ME UNLESS I PAID FULL AMOUNT, I KNOW THAT IS IN FACT A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT LOCK AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY CAR. EVERY TIME I START MY CAR I NEED TO USED A PIN OR SMALL SCREW DRIVER TO PUSH DOWN THE EMERGENCY SHIFT RELEASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO PETRO NISSAN (6248 US-98, HATTIESBURG, MS 39402, (601) 450-1470) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR SHUTTERED AND CUT OFF AFTER HAVING STOPPED FOR A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I PRESS THE EXHILARATOR TO CONTINUE ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BREAK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERY TIME I WOULD DRIVE TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR IT WOULD CUT OFF. IT KEPT DOING THIS OVER AND OVER. LOCAL POLICE CAME AND WITH THE HELP OF A GOOD SAMARITAN PUSHED MY CAR OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER TEST DID NOT SHOW ANY CODES FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY ENDED UP UPDATING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND SAID THEY HOPED THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND I HAVE HAD TO AVOID STOPPING AT LIGHTS DUE TO THE CAR WANTING TO CUT OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT OTHER NISSAN CAR OWNERS ARE ALSO FACING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET WHETHER IT BE INTERSTATE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR NORMAL CITY STREET TRAFFIC. ONCE THE CAR STALLS IT'S NO WAY TO START IT AND PUT IT IN GEAR TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT STALLING AGAIN AND AGAIN. NISSAN OWNERS NEED A RECALL

I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ONCE HEADLIGHTS ARE REQUIRED. UNLESS YOU ARE USING THE HIGH BEAMS, YOU CANNOT SEE MORE THAN A FEW FEET AHEAD OF YOU. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED TO BE PASSED TO MY DAUGHTER AS GET FIRST CAR. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD ALLOW MY CHILD TO BE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS VEHICLE. I WOULDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD DRIVING THUS CAR, WHEN I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.

OVER TIME THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME CLOUDY AND DID NOT PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT. ON THE HIGHWAY, WE WERE DRIVING IN THE DARK (UNLESS WE PUT ON THE HIGH BEAMS WHICH DID WORK). THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, AND TAKING THE CAR TO TWO OTHER AGENCIES, I CONFRONTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE A $957 (PLUS TAX) REPAIR THAT RESTORED OUR HEADLIGHTS, WHILE STILL DENYING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM.. FROM THE INTERNET, OTHERS EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD THAT THE HEAT OF THE HEADLIGHTS GRADUALLY MELTED THE LINING OF THE HEADLIGHT UNIT AND COVERED THE LENS. THE COMPANY FELT THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO RECALL BECAUSE IT TAKES OVER 50,000 MILES AND THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTEE BY THE TIME YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS VERY SERIOUS AND MADE IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY OR ON ROADS WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS AT NIGHT. IT TOOK US MONTHS OF TAKING THE CAR IN, FIRST TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN TO TWO OTHER AGENCIES, BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP AGREED THE LIGHTS WERE TOO DIM AND NEEDED TO BE FIXED. IN ADDITION TO THE DEALERSHIP FEE, I SPENT MORE THAN $200 REPLACING HEADLIGHT SETS AND HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT BY OTHER AGENCIES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO EXIT AND THE DOOR HANDLE BECAME DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIR OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 113 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SENSE PUT 160K HIGHWAY MILES ON IT BUT HAVE HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW BECAUSE I GET IT SERVICED REGULARLY. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK LAST WEEK AND AT 30-45 MPH THE RPMS STARTED JUMPING BETWEEN 1K AND 2K. ONCE I GOT PAST 60 MPH THIS STOPPED BUT EVENTUALLY MY CAR WOULD STUTTER AND STALL AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS MAKING IT DANGEROUS IF TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC OR COMING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS OUT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $4500 OUT OF POCKET. I GOT A SECOND OPINION AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I SERVICE IT AT THAT IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED WHEN THEY TOLD ME TO, YET THERE IS NOTHING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL STATING THIS IS A REQUIREMENT, ONLY A RECOMMENDATION BY THE DEALER. AS SHADY AS DEALERSHIPS ARE THESE DAYS OF COURSE I DIDN'T HAVE IT DONE BECAUSE I ASSUMED THEY WERE CHARGING ME FOR SOMETHING UNNECESSARILY. I SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUSH WOULD HAVE DONE NOTHING TO PREVENT MY TRANSMISSION FAIL. WHAT IS EVEN WORSE IS THAT NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY DASH LOOKED THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS DOES, THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT CAME ON WERE MY BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, BUT IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AFTER THAT. I HAVE ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN AND HAVE BEEN DENIED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SERVICED MY CAR WITH THE DEALER EVEN A
