2013 Nissan Altima complaints

MY AIRBAG INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT COME ON WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE HOOD INDEPENDENTLY OPENED AND DAMAGED THE WINDSHIELD AND ROOF. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AWAY BY THE CONTACT. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT SHE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V029000(LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DT*JB

WE HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR IN LIKE 10 DAYS AND TRIED STARTING IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. GOT THE CAR JUMP STARTED AND NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL THE CAR BOGGED DOWN THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. ALSO THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENS WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THE BACK UP CAMERA GOES COMPLETELY DARK.

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS DANGEROULSY DIM HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULBS 4 TIMES NOW AND THERE IS NO CHANGE. WE TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND HE RECOMMENDED LED BULBS. I CHANGED THE BULBS AGAIN TO LED ONES AND NOTHING CHANGED. I CANNOT SEE MORE THAN A CAR LENGTH IN FRONT OF MY CAR AT NIGHT. WHEN A CAR IS BEHIND ME WITH REAL HEADLIGHTS, IT THROWS A SHADOW AND MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I CANNOT SEE WHERE I AM TURNING AND I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO HIT A PEDESTRIAN OR RUN OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF SUCH POOR VISIBILTY FROM THE DIM HEADLIGHTS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS FROM MANY OTHER ALTIMA DRIVERS WHO HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE REFLECTIVE FILM IN THE LIGHT PROJECTOR THAT PEELS AND DOESN'T PROJECT THE LIGHTS CORRECTLY. THIS ISN'T A WARRANTY ISSUE, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THERE IS NO "FIX" FOR THIS ISSUE WITHOUT CHANGING OUT THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ONLY A CARLENGTH OF LIGHT IN FRONT AND NONE TO THE SIDES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT POSES TO DRIVERS AND OTHER ON THE ROADS. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I HAVE AND THE BULBS CHANGED TWICE. AFTER CHANGING THEM IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LOW BEAM. I HAVE TALKED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT NISSAN WHERE OUR CAR IS SERVICED AND HE HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH LOW BEAM. AFTER GETTING ONLINE AND CHECKING OUT TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID IT APPEARS THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED WHICH RUN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 700 TO $1,000 AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS ACTUALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT UNLESS I USE MY HIGH BEAMS AND THIS HAS BEEN CAUSING A PROBLEM TO THE OTHER CARS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD. IT'S WAY TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION SO I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT HAVING TO PURCHASE AFTERMARKET REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLIES BECAUSE THEIR COST IS MUCH LESS THAN THE DEALERSHIPS. I'M ASSURED THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT.

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IS STALLING WHEN BEING SHIFTED INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. THE FIRST INSTANCE THAT THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION. THE RPM'S DROPPED, THE CAR SHOOK A LITTLE AND IT DIED. I HAD TO PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET THANKFULLY. I TRIED ABOUT 5 TIMES AND WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, EVERY TIME I SHIFTED IT INTO DRIVE, IT STALLED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THEY DID HOWEVER TELL ME THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND GAVE ME A PRINT OUT FROM A MECHANICS FORUM SHOWING MANY OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT FROM THE ORIGINAL SHOP TO THE NISSAN DEALER, IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN LEFT. I HAD TO RESTART, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, GIVE IT GAS AND THROW IT INTO DRIVE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. RIGHT AFTER THAT, AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, I CAME TO A STOP AND IT STALLED AGAIN, IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AGAIN, THIS TIME TO THE DEALER. THE NISSAN DEALER IS NOW TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND WANT ME TO PAY FOR A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY 'THINK' IT'S THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT IS NOT GIVING ANY ERROR CODES, SO THEY DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.

TAKATA RECALL ON AUGUST 15, 2017 I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON MY WAY TO WORK IN WHICH I SWERVED SO I WOULDN'T HIT A DEER AND INSTEAD HIT A TREE DAMAGING THE FRONT MIDDLE PORTION OF MY CAR WHICH,,,TO MY SURPRISE,,,, MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE UPPER PORTION OF MY CHEST HIT THE STEERING WHEEL ... AFTER THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY CAME & GOT MY VEHICLE ,, MY HUSBAND TOOK ME TO THE URGENT CARE CLINIC WHERE THEY TOOK XRAYS OF MY CHEST FINDING THAT IT WAS JUST SEVERELY BRUISED... THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO CLYDES AUTO BODY IN SALIDA, CO. WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS,,, PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED CAR , & HOSPITAL RECEIPTS & RECORDS IF REQUIRED UPON READING THIS COMPLAINT... PLEASE RSVP ASAP,,, THANKYOU [XXX] PICS OF THE CAR DAMAGE ON MY CELLPHONE IF NEEDED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE HAVE A CUSTOMER WHO IS LEASING THIS VEHICLE FROM US. THERE WAS A HOOD LATCH RECALL THAT WAS PERFORMED IN MAY 2017. THE HOOD LATCH STILL WILL NOT OPEN. THE CUSTOMER CANNOT DRIVE IT. I WENT TO ORR NISSAN IN HOT SPRINGS, AR AND THEY SAID THIS RECALL IS NOT WARRANTIED. WE HAVE TRIED TO DIAGNOSE OPENING THE HOOD LATCH, BUT ARE HAVING NO SUCH LUCK TO ASSIST THIS CUSTOMER. THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT WANT TO SPEND ANY ADDITIONAL MONEY AT THIS POINT. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP TO HONOR AND WARRANTY THIS RECALL THAT WAS ALREADY PERFORMED?

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH INTERMITTENTLY STAYS ON, INDICATING THAT IT IS DISABLED, EVEN WITH A 150 LB ADULT SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2013. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN MANY TIMES. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO. THIS WAS AFTER WE HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. WHAT THEY DID FOR THE RECALL DID NOT WORK, SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, BILL ROBERTSON NISSAN. THEY HAD THE CAR ALL DAY AND THEY SAID ALL THEY DID IS CHECK THE WIRE CONNECTIONS AND THEY WERE OK. NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM ON THIS MODEL (AND OTHERS) BUT SO FAR THEY EITHER CAN'T OR WON'T DO WHAT IS NECESSARY TO FIX THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WON'T WORK IF THIS LIGHT IS ON.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL ON AIRBAGS. WILL BE TAKING IN VEHICLE TO HAVE FIXED

TAKATA RECALL, DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES, DIAGNOSTC PORT DOES NOT SHOW ANY CODE FOR THIS PROBLEM. HAD TAKEN TO DEALER RECALL A R105 NTB14-02. AND STILL A PROBLEM WITH SEATBAG ILLUMINATING. HAD IT REPROGRAM AND CAME BACK ON AGAIN AFTER ONE DAY DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

I THINK ITS SAD THAT NISSAN HAS REC'D SEVERAL COMPLAINTS VERY POOR VISIBILITY ON THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND WILL DO NOTHING TO REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS FOR CUSTOMERS. I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS PROJECTED FAR LESS THAN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. NISSAN CLAIMS ITS OXIDATION BUT IT IS NOT. THEY REFUSE TO FIX, AND I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE CAR SINCE ABOUT 60,000 MILES. I DEALT WITH IT FOR A LONG TIME BUT IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORST AND NOT I CANT SEE 5 FEET IN FRONT OF ME WITHOUT HAVING TO TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS! I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WHILE DRIVING, BECAUSE OF THE POOR VISIBILITY.LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR SAFE NIGHT TIME DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS ARE BURNING THE INTERNAL FILM. THE LIGHT BEAM THEN HITS THE FILM & REFRACTS AWAY FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. REPLACING THE ACTUAL HEADLIGHT DOES NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE FRIENDS WITH SAME CAR THAT HAVE TRIED AND NO FIX. PLEASE HELP!! I ALMOST CRASH MY CAR AROUND A TURN THE OTHER NIGHT DUE TO THE LOW VISIBILITY. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER UNDER MY WARRANTY AND I WILL BE CALLING CORPORATE TODAY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS AND ITS NOT FARE BECAUSE THIS IS A RE CALL ISSUE!

TURN SIGNAL. WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS AUTOMATICALLY CANCELLED AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS STRAIGHTENED, SOMETIMES IT ACTUATES THE 'LANE CHANGE' THREE-FLASH SIGNAL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION - PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THE SIGNAL OVER-TRAVELS AND MOMENTARILY TRAVELS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE SIGNAL CANCELS AND SIGNALS THREE FLASHES IN THE LEFT DIRECTION. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A PERSON PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE THEY APPARENTLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CHANGE LANES TO THE LEFT IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY RIGHT TURN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, BUT I FIRST NOTICED IT SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED, AND DID NOT SHUT OFF WHILE AN ADULT PASSENGER OCCUPIED THE SEAT. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT THE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (NISSAN PAUBLO IN PAUBLO, CO) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR JUST TURNED ITSELF OFF. I TURN IT BACK ON AND AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT TURNS ITSELF OFF AGAIN. I FINALLY GET IT GOING AND GET TO MY DESTINATION WITHOUT ANYMORE PROBLEMS. THE NEXT DAY I GO TO START IT AND AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN DRIVE THE CAR TURNS ITSELF OFF, I CONTINUE TO TRY TO GET IT GOING BUT NEVER DID. I GET IT TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. NOW 3 MONTHS AFTER I GET A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I START THE CAR GO TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT TURNS OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM AND THE CONTACT COULD NOT VIEW THE ROAD AHEAD. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN APRIL 2016 I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES IT CHUGS ALL THE TIME ON HIGHWAY/CITY/COUNTY ROADS, AND WHILE TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT WITH CRUZE SET OR NOT. EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR AND TRY TO SHIFT IT DOWN FROM PARK IT DON'T ALWAYS SHIFT OR IF I TRY SHIFTING UP IT'S LIKE IT STICKS IT HAS BEEN FIXED ONCE ALREADY, WHEN THE HEATED SEATS ARE ON LOW OR HIGH SETTING IF LEFT ON LONGER THAN 5 MINUETS IT GETS BURNING HOT. THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO SUPER LOOSE MY CAR HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT I'VE HAD IT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND I'VE HAD SO MANY ISSUES INCLUDING THE AIR CONDITIONING MARQUART MOTORS OUT OF CHIPPEWA FALLS WI REFUSES TO RETURN MY CALLS (I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THEM THEY ARE USELESS AND UNHELPFUL ) I HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL SO MOST REPAIRS ARE COVERED THANK GOD BUT WON'T BE FOR LONG. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I PAID 23,000 FOR A CAR THAT HAS SO MANY ISSUES I REALLY JUST WISH I COULD GIVE IT BACK SO SCARED TO HAVE MY CHILDREN IN IT AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO FEEL THAT WAY. ALSOTHERE ARE 3 OR FOUR RECALLS AND I CAN'T SEEM TO EVER GET IT IN FOR REPAIR BECAUSE OUR NISSAN DEALER IS ALWAYS SO BOOKED OR DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT TILL DAYS OR WEEKS LATER.

PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT ALWAYS BECOME ACTIVE WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

WHILE ACCELERATING ON A HIGHWAY AROUND 40MPH UP TO 60MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN ABOVE 4000 RPM FOR MANY SECONDS AFTER THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED. IT REMAINED AT THIS HIGH RPM WHILE THE CAR SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM THE BRAKES. DRIVE SELECTOR WAS ON THE NORMAL DRIVE ("D") AND NOT ON SPORT ("DS"). VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN 45,000 MILES AND THE ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 20,000 MILES. ..UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S HOOD POPPED OPEN AND STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INCIDENT PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED ON ANOTHER OCCASION. A DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,220.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER ON 6/13/16, TO ADDRESS APPLICABLE RECALLS. THEY DID THE RELATED WORK ON THE HOOD LATCH, AND SAID THERE WERE NO OTHER RECALLS. THE NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT A PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY. DID DEALERSHIP TAKE CARE OF ALL OF IT DURING 07/2016 RECALL?

THE GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK. IN STARTING UP THE CAR AND TRYING TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER OUT OF PARK, IT WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON IN THE DASH WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG STAYS OFF SO IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TURN MY VEHICLE ON.

MY CAR DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED CORRECTLY I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS THE PLACE CLOSED DOWN I COULDN'T TAKE IT BACK I'M STUCK WITH IT AND ALSO MY COMPRESSOR DOESN'T WORK AS WELL IT STOPPED WORKING A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE CAR I REALLY WANT SOMETHING ELSE

CHANGING GEAR SHIFTER IS GETTING LOCK AFTER PUTTING THE GEAR IN PARK. IT STARTED WITH EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE GETTING STUCK. NOW IT NEVER CHANGES WITHOUT HAVING TO STICK A SCREWDRIVER TO RELEASE THE LOCK.

CAR STARTED TO SPUDDER LIKE IT WASNT GETTING GAS AFTER DRIVING FOR 15 MINS ON THE HIGHWAY I WAS AT A LIGHT WAITING TO TURN MY CAR STALLED OUT I NEEDED TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK TO RESTART IT. ONCE THE CAR WAS RESTARTED I DROVE HOME ONCE HOME I WANTED TO CHECK MY CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG SO FROM PARK I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE AND IT AGAIN STALLED OUT THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE NEXT DAY WHILE LEAVING I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD MOVE VERY SLOW TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED YOU WOULD NEED TO PRESS HARD ON GAS TO MOVE THEN RPMS ACTING ALL WEIRD. WHEN TURNING AT A CITY LIGHT AND YOU ACCELERATED THE CARS TIRES WOULD SQUEAL AND THE CAR WOULD JERK. THIS CAR STALLS ALOT IM WORRIED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING IN MOVING TRAFFIC. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT AND IM BEING TOLD THIS IS THE CAUSE OF A FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. THIS CAR IS STILL IN A NISSIAN SHOP.

TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED ABRUPTLY IN NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 AT 79K MILES ALMOST ENDING IN A COLLISION IN MID INTERSECTION. NISSAN SAYS IT'S PAST WARRANTY AND WILL NOT REPLACE. I'M ON THE HOOK FOR $3800 FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT COULD'VE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT. MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. EVEN THOUGH OTHER YEARS HAVE HAD WARRANTIES EXTENDED BC OF THE FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION, MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. THEY SAID I COULD NOT APPEAL THE DECISION. AFTER TALKING TO THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISION, I WAS TOLD THAT BC I DIDN'T HAVE MY CAR SERVICED AT NISSAN, I AM BASICALLY NOT A LOYAL CUSTOMER. THIS IS MY 4TH NISSAN. OBVIOUSLY, I'VE BEEN LOYAL. I CHOSE TO HAVE REGULAR OIL CHANGES, TIRE ROTATIONS, ETC DONE SOMEWHERE CLOSER AS THE DEALERSHIP WAS DIFFICULT TO GET TO ALL THESE YEARS. I FIND THEIR NONCHALANCE IN DEALING W/THEIR HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION TO BE INFURIATING AND I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS. THANK YOU. UPDATED 12/8/2017*JS

PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS LIT WHEN A ADULT IS SITTING IN SEAT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR SOMETHING SIMILAR, BUT WE WERE TOLD OUR CAR IS NOT UNDER THAT RECALL. MY WORRY IS IF WE HAVE A ACCIDENT WILL THAT FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOY.

I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WAS STAYING ON THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE AIR BAG UNIT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM THEY SAID IF I HAD SOMEONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE FRONT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR THE NISSAN ALTIMA IN 2016 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I TALKED TO SOMEONE THEY SAID IT WAS NOT MY VIN NUMBER ALL I KNOW IS THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIX WHEN I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE

DRIVERS ELECTRONIC DOOR UNLOCK/LOCK SWITCH HAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE DOOR LOCK ABILITY, UNABLE TO SAFELY EXIT VEHICLE WITHOUT ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW TO UNLOCK MANUALLY FROM OUTSIDE HE CAR. MAKES IT UNSAFE TO EXIT IN CASE OF AN EMERGANCY

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE INSUFFICIENT FOR SAFE NIGHT TIME DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (SEE ATTACHED). I THEN CONTACTED THE NISSAN CORPORATION WHO STATED THEY WOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BOUGHT IT IN DURING THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD, BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS ARE NOT COVERED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY DID OFFER TO PAY FOR 1/3RD OF THE $1000 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO PAY SOME SO THE COST WOULD BE $500. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS AND WHO'S TO SAY THAT THE REPLACEMENT WON'T DO THE SAME THING? THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE LIGHTS MELTING SOME INTERNAL FILM - THE LIGHT BEAM THEN HITS THE FILM & REFRACTS AWAY FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. REPLACING THE ACTUAL HEADLIGHT DOES NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. (MY SISTER HAS THE SAME MAKE & MODEL AND HAS TRIED THIS). RECENTLY, I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN WALKING ACROSS A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I LIVE ONE MILE DOWN A COMPLETELY DARK ROAD. DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS IS FINE, BUT DANGEROUS WHEN THERE IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN I TURN THEM OFF I HAVE TO DROP MY SPEED TO 15 MILES BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY SEE. THIS IS ALSO DANGEROUS. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE LIGHTS ON THESE CARS BECAUSE 1. PEOPLE LIVING IN 'THE CITY' MIGHT BE UNAWARE 2.DOING DUE DILIGENCE TO HAVE A SAFE CARE I.E. REPLACING A BURNT OUT BULB DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND 3. PAYING $1000 TO MAKE A CAR SAFE IS OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON.

REPORTED TO SHEEHY NISSAN MECHANICSVILLE VA FOUTR TIMES. THE VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM ACTIVATES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED (STABILITY LIGHT ACTIVATES). THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE ACCELERATOR TOUCHES THE FLOOR WHILE TRAVELING 45-60 MPH LOSS OF PRESSURE. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT TO ACTIVATE IN ORDER TO USE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GOLD PLAN. I WAS CHARGE $93 FOR A SCAN OF THE COMPUTER, THEN IT WAS PURGED. THE FOB SYSTEM IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEYS AND I WAS CHARGED FOR CHECKING AND REPROGRAMMING KEYS. FOB KEYS STILL LOSE THE PROGRAMS WHILE DRIVING.

I CANNOT OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR USING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE. I PULL ON THE HANDLE & IT MOVES BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE IS TO DOWN THE WINDOW AND PULL THE OUTSIDE HANDLE (HURTS THE ARTHRITIS IN MY SHOULDER) OR CRAWL OVER THE MIDDLE STORAGE COMPARTMENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THIS SITUATION IS DEFINITELY NOT A SAFE SITUATION IF QUICK EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE IS NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY. WHAT WOULD A PERSON WITH DISABILITIES OR SENIOR DO? FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE THE DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY INSIDE THE DOOR WAS POORLY MADE USING A PLASTIC PART THAT WEARS OUT QUICKLY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND ACROSS SEVERAL NISSAN MODELS ACCORDING TO A DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR. THE DEALER, CHARLESTON NISSAN, WANTS $180, PARTS AND LABOR, TO REPLACE. I CALLED 1-800-NISSAN1 ON 10/18/2017 TO SEE IF THEY WOULD STAND BEHIND AND COVER A DEFECTIVE PART BUT THEY SHOWED NO INTEREST AT ALL AND DECLINED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FORWARD IN ANY GEAR WHEN PROMPTED. BONDY'S NISSAN IN DOTHAN, ALABAMA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE VALVE BODY ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR TSB FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED ITEM NUMBER: 10109248 AND NTB15-0878 AS POSSIBLE CAUSES RELATED TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED TO "DS", AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN IT SPUTTERED AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY CITY STREET,. LUCKILY A POLICEMAN WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME AND WAS ABLE TO DIVERT TRAFFIC AWAY FROM MY CAR. I TOWED THE CAR TO A NEARBY MECHANIC SHOP WHO REPLACED THE BATTERY (BECAUSE IT WAS DEAD) AND ADVISED ME THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DROVE THE CAR BUT THE RPMS WERE GOING UP AND DOWN AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO MOVE ANY FASTER, AND THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE IN A TIMELY MANNER WHEN I PUT THE CAR ON "DRIVE". I SCHEDULED A TIME WITH THE DEALER TO INSPECT THE CAR IN TWO DAYS. THAT DAY IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND MOVING AND IT BROKE DOWN AS I ENTERED THE DEALER'S SERVICE LOT. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $3700, SINCE IT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. I TOLD THEM THAT I SEARCHED THE NISSAN WEBSITE THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THERE WAS A RECALL BY NISSAN OF THIS CAR IN DECEMBER 2016 BECAUSE THE CVT CONTROLLER HAD TO BE RE-PROGRAMMED, OTHERWISE IT WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR AND DAMAGE TO THE CVT. THEY CLAIMED THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR THE REPROGRAMMING AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE WARRANTY, NOTHING WILL BE DONE FOR FREE. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I ALMOST GOT HIT BY TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR STALLED, THAT THEIR RECALL MENTIONED THE POSSIBLE DAMAGE, AND THAT I BECAME AWARE OF IT AFTER THE INCIDENT, BUT THAT DID NOT HELP AND ADVISED ME TO CALL NISSAN, BUT HE WOULDT. I BELIEVE

TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON VEHICLE WILL GO MOVING MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE REPROGRAMMED THE TCM STILL SAME PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS SINCE NO WARNING WHEN VEHICLE GOES TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ANY WARNING

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES WITH SEATED PASSENGERS. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO REPROGRAM THE AIRBAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS PERFORMED THE FAILURE RECURRED. UPDATD 10/05/2017*JS

AFTER LEASING THE CAR FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS, THE CAR DEVELOPED AN ISSUE AT 83,000 MILE MARK. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT FROM STANDSTILL THE CAR STALLS. I WOULD PRESS DOWN THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE OR ACCELERATE UNTIL 6 SECONDS OR SO LATER. SOMETIMES THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL UNTIL I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH. FROM THIS I CAN INFER IT HAS TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED HALFWAY OR MORE AT A STOP. KINDA LIKE A POWER OUTAGE AT THAT SINCE ALL THE LIGHTS DIM AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE HVAC FAN SPEED GOES DOWN WHILE WHILE THE CAR IS UNABLE TO MOVE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHILE THERE WAS A PAUSE IN OPPOSITE TRAFFIC AND THE CAR JUST ROLLED A LITTLE AND STOPPED SINCE I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING UNTIL I STRAIGHTENED THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER MY CAR ROLLED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC I COULD OF EASILY GOTTEN IN A CRASH IF THE ONCOMING CARS DIDN'T SLOW DOWN FOR ME. THIS HAPPENS PRETTY RANDOMLY BUT ONLY WHEN TRYING TO TURN FROM A STOP. I CAN'T ANY LONGER TRUST THE CAR AS ITS PRETTY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO MERGE WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S SHUTS OFF ELECTRICAL WHILE DRIVING KEY DONT WORK (1 OUT OF 2 KEYS DONT WORK) DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER A/C COMPRESSOR DOESNT WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK OR DRIVE, IT WOULD EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000.

DASHBOARD IS GETTING EXCESSIVELY STICKY.

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA, WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. IN 9/2014 AT 42K MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. NOW IN 9/2017 I AM BEING TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS REPLACED BY THEM IN 2014 IS ALSO BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $4,100.00. WHO CAN AFFORD A $4,100 REPAIR ON A VEHICLE THAT IS STILL BEING PAID FOR MONTHLY, AND WHY IS IT THE CONSUMER'S FAULT THAT NISSAN NA IS MAKING AND SELLING FAULTY, UNSAFE PRODUCTS? NISSAN NA KNOWS OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, BUT CHOSES TO NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE ISSUES. MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PULL AND MAKES A WHINING NOISE WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IT THE SAME ISSUE THAT OCCURRED IN 2014. WHILE I WAS IN MOTION ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER, SPUDDER AND JERK, AND DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH. IT WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN START TO LOSE SPEED. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE TO BE DRIVEN. I AM IN TOTAL DISBELIEF THAT NONE OF THE AGENCIES CHARGED WITH THE PROTECTION OF CONSUMERS SAFETY AND ETHICAL TREATMENT , WILL OR HAS GOTTEN INVOLVED TO FORCE NISSAN TO STOP ENDANGERING THE WELL BEING OF THOSE OF US WHO DRIVE THESE VEHICLES. I AM A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER, WHO HAS OWNED 2 OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES. IN FACT, I CURRENTLY OWN A 1995 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT HAS NEVER HAD A TRANSMISSIO

TAKATA RECALL : AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON DASH ALL OF A SUDDEN. AIRBAG LIGHT WAS NOTICED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON AND STATIONARY. VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT.

CHANGING GEAR IS GETTING LOCK AFTER PUTTING THE GEAR IN PARK, HAVING TROUBLE CHANGING IT TO DRIVE.

THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE CVT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT WAS JERKING FORWARD AND WE THOUGHT THIS REPAIR WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 , WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC , IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. KEPT GIVING IT GAS UNTIL IT MOVED AND WE WERE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE STREET. HAD IT CHECKED TODAY AND TOLD IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

GEAR SHIFT KEEP GETTING STUCK WHEN YOU PUT IN PARK WHEN TRYING TO PUT IN REVEARSE OR DRIVE IT WON'T MOVE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME JUST SOME TIMES.
