2013 Nissan Altima complaints

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA S - SAFETY SYSTEM DEFECT / MALFUNCTION PROBLEM:2 ASPECTS (1)THE OCS AIRBAG AND SEATBELT SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT "INCORRECTLY INDICATES" A PASSENGER IS NOT IN THE SEAT WHEN IN FACT THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED! THIS CONDITION "TURNS OFF THE AIR BAG PROTECTION FOR AN ADULT PASSENGER!" (2)THE SEATBELT LIGHT 'INCORRECTLY INDICATES' THAT A PASSENGER IS UNBELTED. ERRONEOUS TEST RESULTS: NISSAN 'TESTS' THIS SAFETY SYSTEM ON EQUIPMENT PROGRAMMED BY NISSAN ' VIA A HUMANLY DEVISED ALGORITHM. IN OTHER WORDS, SINCE THE 'TEST EQUIPMENT' IS PROGRAMMED INCORRECTLY, THE RESULTS WILL BE WRONG. PROOF: NISSAN HAS RECALLED TO REPROGRAM MY VEHICLE 4 TIMES (I THINK) ' A NEW 'TEST' ALGORITHM. ADDITIONALLY, NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE COULD BE A FAULTY COMPONENTS OF THIS SAFETY SYSTEM. IF THE 'TEST' FAILS TO SHOW A SYSTEM FAULT. NISSAN IGNORES THE PROBLEM. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE COMPONENTS OF THIS FAULTY SYSTEM. 2013 ' 2017OCS SYSTEM MALFUNCTION CONTINUES AFTER MULTIPLE REPROGRAMMINGS BY NISSAN. NISSAN HAS NEVER FIXED THIS FAULTY SYSTEM. NISSAN NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS SAFETY SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY!

I HAVE 31,00 MILES ON MY 2013 ALTIMA WHICH I PURCHASED ABOUT THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS AGO. I WAS IN MY CAR, AND I TRIED TO GET OUT. I PULLED ON THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE DOOR WOULDN'T HAPPEN. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING IN MY GARAGE AND OPEN THE WINDOW TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THIS PROBLEM CAN RESULT IN DEATH. IF SOMEONE IS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THEIR WINDOW WON'T ROLL DOWN, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, AND COULD GET SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BY BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR.

IN LATE DECEMBER 2016 OUR 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WAS BEING DRIVEN IN HIGH POINT, NORTH CAROLINA WHEN THE HOOD OF THE CAR FLEW OPEN AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING ZERO VISIBILITY AND THE CAR WAS FORCED OFF THE ROAD CAUSING IT TO BE DAMAGED. THIS INCIDENT INVOLVES A 2016 NISSAN RECALL ON THIS CAR FOR A HOOD LOCK ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT THAT WAS NEVER DONE PROPERLY TO THIS CAR. THERE WAS BODY DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER HAS MEDICAL INJURIES FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS HAVING SMELLS SINCE THE ACCIDENT. NISSAN ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND AN ARBITRATION SPECIALIST TO THIS ACCIDENT AND THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDER REVIEW. HOWEVER, NOBODY FROM NISSAN IS AUTHORIZING REPAIR, PROVIDING MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THE CAR REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSITANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR

LAST WEEK MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES HOURS WHEN THE HOOD SUDDENLY FLEW UP AND CRASHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AROUND AND SHE WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE HOOD BACK DOWN AND RETURN THE SHORT DISTANCE TO HER HOME. WHEN I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY I DISCOVERED THAT THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH DID NOT WORK. UPON INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN HAD RECALLS ON THIS MODEL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. I CONTACTED THE NHTSA AND REPORTED THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL REPAIR HAD NOT BEEN DONE AS PER THEIR RECORDS. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN TO INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL REPAIRS HAD ACTUALLY BEEN COMPLETED EARLIER THIS YEAR BY A NISSAN DEALER IN FLORIDA (WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A CAR LOT IN FLORIDA IN OCTOBER OF 2016). AFTER A DISCUSSION WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER RELATIONS THEY TOWED THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THEIR LOCAL DEALERS FOR INSPECTION (12/30/16). THEIR INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THE REPLACED SECONDARY LATCH HAD FAILED THEREFORE ALLOWING THE HOOD TO FLY OPEN. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. IF THIS HAD BEEN IN TRAFFIC, AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED OR OTHER CONDITIONS SERIOUS INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. HOW DO I KNOW THAT WHATEVER NEW REPAIRS THAT ARE DONE WILL SOLVE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE? *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN ALTIMA S 2013 AND I FINANCED IT ZERO METER IN SEPT 2013 . YESTERNIGHT MY CAR DIED/SHUTDOWN WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP LIGHT. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HAPPENED AT MY CAR. I WAS IN FULL STOP AT THE MOMENT AND WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I JUST HAD A COLD CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN. I COULD NOT MOVE MY CAR, THE CAR SHUTS ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR, AND IT DID, BUT WHEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD POWER DOWN AGAIN. I TURNED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND CALL THE TOW COMPANY AS I WAS NOT FAR FROM MY HOME. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR HAS 66K MILES WHILE ITS ONLY 3YRS AND 5 MONTHS OLD. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR MORE THAN 60K (ONLY 6K MILES OVER). I SUPPOSE THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT, THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN. THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND PUT ME IN DANGER AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. I LOST MY CONFIDENCE ON MY CAR BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM POWERED OFF AND IT CAN STOPPED ANYWHERE. THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. THEY MUST NEED TO RECALL ALL THE NISSAN ALTIMA WHICH HAVE CVT TRANSMISSION AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND FOR ME I NEED A RELIABLE CAR NOT THIS PIECE OF JUNK, (AMERICAN CAR RUNS MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN NISSAN, A JAPANESE PIECE OF JUNK) "NO MORE NISSAN FOR ME". I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CREST NISSAN FRISCO, TX. LETS SEE WHAT THEY SAY??? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE APPEARED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,900.

TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN, I OWN A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 4 CYLINDER WITH ROUGHLY 81000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR KEPT STALLING OUT WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP LIGHT, BUT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND MOVE ON. HOWEVER, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGH WAY IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AND DIDN'T RESTART. THANKFULLY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. ME AND MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN TOTALED. I RECEIVED NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE THIS ISSUE, IT HAPPENED OUT OF NO WHERE. I RECEIVED A DIAGNOSIS OF "BAD TRANSMISSION" AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $4200+ TAX. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RAN OUT THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PAYMENT IN TOTAL. I DID MY RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS I AM. I AM BEYOND DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN AND THEIR INABILITY TO WARN CUSTOMERS ABOUT SUCH A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION IN THEIR CARS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND NEEDS SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION OR RECALL DONE ON THE TRANSMISSION. GOD FORBID ANYONE HAS THIS ISSUE AND IT COSTS THEIR LIFE. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY CAR HAS 97,500 MILES ON IT EQUIPPED WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN IN THE PAST HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND EXTENDED TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 120K MILES IN 08-2010 MODELS. AFTER DOING RESEARCH CAR.COM FOUND 2013-14 ALTIMAS AND ROGUES HAVE HAD SAME ISSUE. 2 DAYS PRIOR BEFORE GETTING MY CAR TO DEALER TO HAVE TRANSMISSION CHECKED OUT, I FIRST NOTICED MY RPMS REVVING UP AND DOWN WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL. FOLLOWING WORKDAY I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND CARS APPROACHING FAST BEHIND ME TOOK MY VEHICLE 2,000 RPMS TO MOVE FROM STOP LIGHT ALMOST GETTING REARENDED, I WAS ONLY 1,100 MILES OVER MY PAID EXTENDED WARRANTY COMMUNICATED WITH NISSAN ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. LONG STORY SHORT THEY WONT BACK UP THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY $3,200.00 FOR MY TRANSMISSION TO BE FIXED HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/2013/TRANSMISSION/ HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/2013-2016-NISSAN-ALTIMA-ROGUE-TRANSMISSION-ISSUE-1420683183828/ HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/PROGRAMDETAILS.PHP?MENU=2 THE ABOVE RESEARCH SHOW THEY HAVE ISSUES AND AT SOME POINT SOMEONE CAN BE INJURED OR KILLED OR LIKE ME HAVING TO FORK OVER EXCESSIVE CASH FOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND WARRANTY THEIR DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL MY 2013 ALTIMA TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THE CAR STALLED AND THEN BROKE DOWN TWICE ON ME AFTER WE GOT IT HOME MY HUSBAND TESTED IT AND IT SAID IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION WE HAD IT TOWED IN TO NISSAN AND FOUND OUT WE HAD 3 RECALLS ON THIS CAR AND ONE OF THEM WAS THE CVT AND A FEW DAYS LATER NISSAN SAID IT WAS TRANSMISSION AND IT WILL COST $5000 TO FIX IT. CORPORATIONS REFUSED TO KEEP THERE PROMISES ON THERE PRODUCT AND SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. HOWEVER IT WAS UNDER THERE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,435.

WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR THE RPMS START JUMPING. WEN U GO TO PUT IT IN GEAR IT CLUNCKS. AND WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE IT WONT GO FASTER THAN 40. (GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR)

CAR WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN STOPPED AT TIMES EVEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. LATER BECAME JERKY AND BUMPING WITH ACCELERATION. THESE ISSUES WERE CAUSED BY THE CVT TRANSMISSION AT ABOUT 64500 MILES ON THE CAR.

I TOOK MY CAR FOR SERVICING AT NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CAR BRAKES NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. MY CAR'S MILEAGE IS ONLY 34 K.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR TO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,985.

VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER RECENT RECALL WORK REGARDING SRS WAS PERFORMED. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION. *TR

CAR STALLS TO ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. LAST NIGHT THE CAR WAS MAKING NOTICEABLE NOISE AND JERKED AS I WAS DRIVING . THIS MORNING THE CAR WAS STALLING AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. *TR

WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG DASH LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF TO INDICATE THAT AIR BAG IS FUNCTIONAL! THIS IS WHILE IN MOTION, STATIONARY, AND CAN SPORADICALLY WORK AS IT SHOULD BUT I AM STILL CONCERNED THAT THE SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING! !

THE ORANGE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 96/97/2015,WITH THE NUMBER 1 UNDERNEATH. THIS LIGHT WOULD GO AWAY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BASED ON USAGE. IN THE LAST 3MONTHS OR MORE AUGUST 2016 IS WHEN THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTING FLASHING WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON MOVING, WITH A PASSENGER OR WITHOUT. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE ENTIRELY INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING INTENSITY AND DISTANCE. THE LIGHTS BARELY ILLUMINATE ABOUT 2 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD, WHICH IS TOO SHORT A DISTANCE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 25-30MPH, MAKING HIGHWAY TRAVEL AT NIGHT VERY DANGEROUS. OBJECTS IN THE PATH OF TRAVEL AND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ARE NOT VISIBLE IN TIME TO SAFELY RESPOND. STREET SIGNS AND TURNS ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY IF THEY ARE NOT NEAR STREET LIGHTS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE BUYING THE CAR. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR IT.

I JUST EXITED HIGHWAY 580 TURNING LEFT ON HIGHWAY 84 STOPLIGHT WHEN MY CAR DIED/SHUTDOWN WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HAPPENED AT MY CAR. I WAS IN FULL STOP AT THE MOMENT AND WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I JUST HAD A COLD CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN. I COULD NOT MOVE MY CAR, THE CAR SHUTS ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. I TRIED TO RESTART MY CAR, AND IT DID, BUT WHEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD POWER DOWN AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED FOR AT LEAST FOUR TIMES. I TURNED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON FEARING THAT THE CARS EXITING THE FREEWAY WOULD HIT ME CONSIDERING WE HAD THE GREEN. I DID NOT WANT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND FEARED THAT THE ON COMING DRIVERS WILL NOT SEE ME. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 5:10PM AND WE HAVE A LIGHT SHOWER. I FINALLY GOT MY CAR TO MOVE WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR AND PUT THE GEAR ON SPORTS MODE OR D2 INSTEAD OF DRIVE. THE CAR MOVED WITHOUT HESITATION AND WHILE I WAS HOPING TO SEE ANY ISSUE OR WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD I FOUND NOTHING. AS IF THERE NO ISSUE AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER TO MAKE AND APPOINTMENT, AND GOT ME A SLOTTED THE NEXT DAY. THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS IS THAT MY CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR HAS 79K MILES WHILE ITS ONLY 4YRS OLD. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT THE WHOLE ORDEAL WILL COST ME $3500. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR MORE THAN 60K. THE MAIN ISSUE I SUPPOSE THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT, T

I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT CAR OUT OF PARK WITHOUT DEFEATING THE INTERLOCK. I HAVE TO USE SOMETHING LIKE A SCREW DRIVER TO PUSH SOMETHING IN THE SMALL HOLE NEXT TO THE SHIFTER EVERY TIME I NEED TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. SUSPECT THE SWITCH OR SOLENOID OR WIRING CONNECTED TO BRAKE PEDAL FAILED. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN PARK AND NOT MOVING.

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH ON RT 95 IN MARYLAND AND MY SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS FELL ALL AROUND ME. THE GLASS THAT WAS LEFT WAS RAISED UP, SUGGESTING THAT THE CAUSE OF THE SHATTER WAS FROM SOMETHING OTHER THAN AN ITEM FALLING ONTO THE SUNROOF FROM THE OUTSIDE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ACTIVATION MECHANISM IN SOME OF 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. NISSAN ALREADY HAD TWO RECALLS ON IT BUT THEY NEVER ABLE TO FIX IT. EVEN IF SOMEONE IS SITTING ON PASSENGER SIDE, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD IS ACTIVATED RANDOMLY, THAT MEANS AIRBAG WILL NOT OPEN IN CASE OF CRASH. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS FLAW. IN THE RECENT RECALL THEY SIMPLY MADE A S/W UPDATE TO FLIP THE AIRBAG LIGHT SWITCH ON/OFF LOGIC. NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX THE CORE ISSUE. IT AGAIN RANDOMLY SWITCHES ON/OFF WHEN A PERSON IS SITTING. I HAVE TALKED TO NISSAN AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IT. THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO HIDE OR CIRCUMVENT THIS ISSUE OR TRYING TO TELL CUSTOMERS THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE AT ALL. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN THREE YEARS AND NISSAN IS NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE .EVERYTIME THEY WILL SAY IT'S FIXED EITHER AFTER RECALL OR REPAIR BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO CIRCUMVENT IT THROUGH S/W UPGRADES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE HOOD LATCH RELEASED INDEPENDENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE HOOD COLLIDED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED NECK, HEAD, SHOULDER, AND BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT BUMPER COVER, COMBINATION LAMP, HOOD (PANEL, UNDERSIDE, HINGE ASSEMBLE), RIGHT FENDER PANEL, WINDSHIELD, DOORS, AND MULTIPLE OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS), 16V2029000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES), AND 15V116000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO RECALL NOTICES WERE RECEIVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

DEAR NHSTA YESTERDAY, WHEN I WAS AT A STOP, MY CAR STARTING TO "JUMP" FORWARD. AFTER WORKING A 12 HOUR SHIFT, I DECIDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE NEXT DAY. BUT ON MY WAY TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45-50MPH AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I CAME TO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND STOPPED WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE IT JUST STOPPED. I TURNED IT OFF TO RESTART, PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STULLED AGAIN. I WAS IN A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION "5 LANES". I HAD TO CALL 911 TO HELP DIRECT TRAFFIC SO THEY COULD PUSH MY CAR OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE ONLY 61000 MILES AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS TOLD IT IS THE CVT. I AM AN ICU/ER NURSE. I BOUGHT A NISSAN DUE TO SAFETY RATINGS. LEAVING ME SIT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION, PLUS THE AIRBAG RECALL, I WOULD NOT CONSIDER THIS CAR SAFE,ANYMORE. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN AND CVTS, WHY ARE THERE NO RECALLS? ARE YOU WAITING FOR MORE DEATHS AND ACCIDENTS TO OCCUR? WHEN A COMPANY OFFERS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY SPECIFICALLY FOR A CVT UP TO 100,000 MILES, THEN OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE SINCERELY, JILL S RN,BSN,CEN,CCRN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

STOPPED ON THE DRIVEWAY WAITING FOR THE GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN AND THE CAR DIED. THE CAR STARTS AND IDLES, BUT IT DIES WHEN PUTTING IN GEAR. GAS IS 3/4 FULL, ALL LIGHTS WORK AND ARE NOT DIM.

MY CAR HAS 46000 MILES IN IT. SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHILE I AM DRIVING MOSTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STARTING AGAIN AFTER BEING STOPPED THE CAR SHAKES REALLY BAD AND THEN DIES. IT IS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IF IT OCCURS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY COULD BE DISASTEROUS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. SEE THE LINK HERE TO OTHER OWNERS HACING THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER A MANUFACTURERS RECALL ON THE AIR BAGS BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,094.

THE CAR GETS STUCK IN PARK AND WILL NOT SHIFT, ALWAYS WHEN PUT IN PARK WILL NOT SHIFT AND I NOTICED IT HAPPENS WITH TOO MANY ALTIMA....SHOULD BE A RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG HESITATION AND THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP OR WHEN SHIFTING GEARS INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE HAD A STRONG HESITATION AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED BY A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 76,000 MILES. WITHIN IN 2 DAYS THE CAR WENT FROM A SLIGHT SHUDDER TO COMPLETE FAILURE. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH AND VIEWIN THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS, 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SHOULD HAVE A TRANSMISSION RECALL. HAD IT FAILED ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, I WOULD BE FILING A LAWSUIT. CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A DEALERSHIP AND WILL REMAIN THERE UNTIL I CAN AFFORD $3500-$4000 FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS.

I FINANCE A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA S, I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE LIGHT, AIR BAG LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON ALL AT ONCE, AND WOULD STAY ON FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN WOULD GO AWAY ON IT'S OWN YET THE CAR NEVER GAVE ANY PHYSICAL SIGNS THAT A PROBLEM WAS GOING ON. SO I ASSUMED THAT MAYBE THERE WAS A SENSOR PROBLEM. I WAS LEAVING FROM WORK WHEN I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND CAME TO A STOP. AS I PROCEED TO STEP ON THE GAS TO GO IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAD SHUT OFF ON ME YET THE RADIO AND LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING. I TRIED TO START THE CAR UP WHEN THE WARNING SYMBOL CAME ON STATING THAT MY KEY PAD WAS INVALID.THAT CONTINUED UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ARRIVED RESULTING IN HIM TOWING THE CAR AWAY TO CHERRY HILL NISSAN. IT WAS THERE THAT I WAS TOLD THAT AT 80,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION HAD WENT YET NO ONE COULD GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY OR WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. NOW AS OF 10/22/2016 I AM HAVING THE SAME SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS THAT WERE GOING ON BEFORE MY TRANSMISSION WENT THE FIRST TIME WITH ALL THE WARNING SYMBOLS COMING ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GOING BACK OFF ALL ON THEIR OWN. 10/26/2016 MY CAR CUT OFF ON ME AS I WAS IN ROUTE. AFTER GETTING IT TO START BACK UP I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT AUTO ZONE WHERE THEY HOOKED MY CAR UP TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND REPORTED TO ME THAT MY COMPUTER BRAIN WAS MALFUNCTIONING.I WON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING WITH MY CAR UNTIL MONDAY 10/31/2016 WHEN I TAKE IT INTO NISSAN OF TURNERSVILLE SO THEY CAN RUN T

BRAKES MAKE SQUEAKY NOISE ALL THE TIME. PASSANGER AIRBAG SIGN DOES NOT SHOW EVEN IF SOMEONE IS SITTING

THE BACK-UP CAMERA DOES NOT ALWAYS OPERATE CORRECTLY. AT TIMES, THE CAMERA PICTURE IS TOO DARK TO VIEW AND OTHER TIMES THE PICTURE IS MOSTLY ORANGE. THIS TAKES AWAY FROM THE RELIABILITY OF THIS SAFETY DEVICE. I HAD THIS LOOKED AT THREE TIMES. SINCE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, THE MALFUNCTION WAS NOT REPEATED DURING THE SERVICE VISITS.

THE BRAKES ON THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SQUEAK, WHEN BACKING UP. I HAD THIS LOOKED AT THREE TIMES AND THE BRAKES ARE FINE SO THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE HOOD LATCH ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. AS A RESULT, THE HOOD OPENED. THE CONTACT HAD TO FASTEN THE HOOD WITH A TWINE TO PREVENT THE HOOD FROM OPENING INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V565000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED. THE INDICATOR DISPLAYED AIR BAG OFF ONCE THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I PURCHASED ONE YEAR AGO. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT ONLY HAD 25,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO MY CAR JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND I HAD TO MERGE OFF OF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE I WAS HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. THE CAR WOULD START RIGHT UP AFTER I TURNED IT OFF, BUT NOT MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDDLE IT WOULD JUST SIT THERE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY CVT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. I ONLY HAVE 75,000 MILES ON THE CAR, BUT OF COURSE, THE WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60,000 MILES. THE SERVICE CENTER AT NISSAN SUGGESTED THAT I CALL CORPORATE NISSAN AND SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THAT THEY CAN DO TO HELP. I CALLED NISSAN AND AFTER WEEKS OF PLAYING PHONE TAG WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE HANDLING MY CASE, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT THEY WOULD DO TO HELP ME. I PROCEEDED TO ASK HER IF SHE WAS AWARE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAIN NISSAN REGARDING THEIR FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND SHE SAID "YES" AND THAT THEY WOULD RATHER ME SUE THEM THAN JUST REPLACE THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN. THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION WAS $5,000.00, PLUS A MONTH AND A HALF OF RENTAL CAR CHARGES.

SHIFT ASSEMBLY - TRANSMISSION: MY CAR IS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA AND IT WILL NOT GO OUT OF PARK AT TIMES THERE IS A DEFAULT WITH THE SHIFT GEAR ASSEMBLY THAT NEED TO BE RECALLED OR INVESTIGATED. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ONLY A YEAR. I HAVE ALSO HEAR RUMORS ABOUT THESE TYPE OF CARS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE COST FOR THE REPAIRS TO FIX THIS CAR IS $600.00 AND THIS SHOULD BE ON THE MANUFACTURE END AND NOT THE CONSUMER. I ACTUALLY BELIEVED NISSAN AND HONEST COMPANY WHEN IT CAME TO VEHICLE SAFETY BUT THE TECH ADVISED ME THAT IF IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL THEN THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. SO OK THAT MEANS UNLESS SOMEONE IS NOT INJURED OR KILLED THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THESE CARS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE FOR ANYONE WHO IS HAVING THESE ISSUES TO PLEASE REPORT IT BECAUSE I AM TRADING THIS PIECE OF JUNK IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN, ALTIMA WITH 60,000 MILES AND MY TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT. I HAD A 2010 ALTIMA AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON I IT AS WELL. I PURCHASED BOTH VEHICLES FROM NALLEY NISSAN. WHEN I PURCHASED THE 2013 ALTIMA THE SALESMAN TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE MADE SOME IMPROVEMENTS TO THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THAT IS A LIE. I

MY CAR WAS GOING ABOUT 75MPH THEN IT STARTED STALLING AND LOSING SPEED. WHEN I STOPPED AND PARKED I PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THEN THE CAR JUMPED INTO GEAR. BUT IT STALLS. THEY SAID IT'S A FAILED TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE HANDLE WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM OF DEFECT. THE DEALER WROTE INCORRECT NOTES OF THE HANDLE BEING PULLED TOO HARD. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY CHILDREN AND I WERE INJURED. I SERVICED MY CAR AT NISSAN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL TWICE. I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM NHTSA AND NISSAN WOULDN'T COMPLY. EVERY TIME I'VE TAKEN MY CAR FOR THE BRAKE PADS TO BE SERVICED I ONLY NEED ROTORS NEVER BRAKE PADS! THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER THIS CAR IS A CLUNKER!

THERE IS A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE, AND UPON RESEARCH, I SAW ONLINE THAT A LOT OF BUYERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS I AM. IT JUST DOESN'T SOUND GOOD, I OWNED A 2005 NISSAN ALTIMA A FEW YEARS BACK AND THIS CAR SOUNDED BETTER THAN MY CURRENT 2013 ALTIMA. JUST SOUNDS LIKE AN OLD BEAT UP CAR AND IT IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD.

TORQUE CONVERTER SHOT, NEEDS TRANSMISSION REPLACED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF THE DRIVE GEAR. THE CONTACT, WHO HAD AN INFANT PRESENT, HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY HAZARD LIGHTS AND RECEIVED HELP PUSHING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT PLACED A SCREWDRIVER IN THE GEAR SHIFTER TO HELP CHANGE GEARS, AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE SHIFTER CYLINDER WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

DIDN'T DEPLOY I HIT THE 2013 DANRANGO TRUCK FROM BEHIND ON MY PASSENGER FRONT KNOCKING THE TIRE COMPLETELY OFF THE TRUCK ON THE DRIVER RAR WHEEL.
