2013 Nissan Altima complaints

I HAVE A BAD RATTLE COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR ALONG WITH A WHINE NOISE COMING FROM THE SAME AREA. ALSO HAVE A VERY BAD VIBRATION/RATTLE IN THE CAR THAT SEEMS TO BE FROM THE TRANSMISSION AT ACCELERATION FROM A START AND ACCELERATION WHILE SWITCHING LANES ON A CITY STREET. YOU CAN COAST AND PRESS THE GAS AGAIN AND THEN THE WHOLE CAR RATTLES. IT HAS BEEN IN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CAN FEEL IT BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHAT IS CAUSING IT. ALSO HEADLIGHTS GIVE VERY VERY POOR VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND WHEN RAINING AT NIGHT.

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON A THREE YEAR OLD CAR AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER I D ABLE TO PULL OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS. WHEN I SWITCH TO DIFFERENT GEARS THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. I HAD TO BE TOWED O THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A MANUFACTURER RECALL CONCERNING THE HOOD LATCH. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE HOOD LATCH FRACTURED AND CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO FURTHER INSPECTED THE HOOD LATCH AND STATED THAT IT WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MECHANIC CHECKED WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE HOOD LATCH HAD BEEN ON BACK ORDER AND THAT THE DEALER LUBRICATED THE LATCH, BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE PART. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE HOOD LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ABLE TO SUPPLY THE HOOD LATCH PART TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

REAR DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD ACCUMULATING WATER WHEN IT RAINS. NO IDEA WHERE IT COMES FROM. CURRENTLY AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHERE WATER IS COMING FROM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS BEEN IN SHOP. IT FIRST HAPPENED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND AT FIRST, I THOUGHT A DOOR HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY CLOSED. I HAVE DRIVEN AND PARKED IT IN THE RAIN SO I DONT HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN IT COMES IN, ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT DOES.

IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS AND JUST OVER 36,000 MILES WE HAVE SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION 3-4 TIMES (I'VE LOST COUNT), HAD IT BROUGHT IN FOR BRAKE NOISE (SCREECHING) AT LEAST 4 TIMES, AND JUST THIS WEEK THE BEARINGS IN BOTH REAR WHEELS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKES SCREECH IS EAR SPLITTING. THEY RECONDITIONED THE SURFACE OF THE ROTORS, RE-SHIMMED THE PADS AND REPLACED THE PADS 9 MONTHS AGO. I WARNED THEM THEN THAT I KNEW THIS WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AND THAT I WAS CONCERNED THAT THEY WOULD GET NOISY AGAIN ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED. A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THAT THEY SHIMMED THE PADS WHICH MADE IT BETTER TEMPORARILY. I TOLD THEM SHIMS WERE A BAND AID FOR A DESIGN FLAW AND THAT IT WOULDN'T LAST. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER IT WAS BACK IN THE SHOP. THE TRANNY HAS THE SHAKES. IT HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED, THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED BECAUSE SUPPOSEDLY THE VOLTAGE VARIATION WAS AFFECTING THE TIMING OF THE TRANNY, AND MOST RECENTLY A VALE BODY WAS REPLACED. THE OSCILLATION PROBLEM IS BETTER FOR NOW BUT MY WIFE HAD IT BUCK AGAIN LAST WEEK JUST NOT AS BAD. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME ON THIS TOO. THEIR COMPETITORS DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT I HAVE MORE BEARING ISSUES IN THE FUTURE. TWO OUT OF TWO BEARING SETS FAILING (THE FRONTS BEARINGS ARE DIFFERENT) IS A 100% FAILURE RATE IN LESS THAN 36K. ALL THREE PROBLEMS (BRAKES, TRANSMISSION AND BEARINGS) ARE KNOWN ISSUES IN THIS YEAR, GOOGLE IT.

NOTE: THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED USED WITH ABOUT 30,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, GOING STRAIGHT, UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR STARTS TO WANDER AND VEER OFF TO THE OTHER LANE. IT IS MUCH WORSE IF IT IS A WINDY DAY. YOU HAVE TO BE READY IMMEDIATELY TO MAKE A STEERING CORRECTION OR YOU RUN THE RISK OF GETTING INTO AND ACCIDENT. ON THE NISSAN FORUM, MANY 2013 ALTIMA OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS STEERING AND SUSPENSION DEFECT. NISSAN HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT HAS KNOWN ABOUT IT AND HAS FIXED IT ON THE 2016 MODELS. WHY HAVEN'T THEY ISSUED A BULLETIN WITH A FIX OR RECALLED THESE YEAR MODEL ALTIMAS THAT ARE AFFECTED?

HOOD FLEW OPEN WHILE TRAVELING AT 35 MPH ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN. THIS RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE UPPER QUARTER PANEL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE HOOD HINGES.

CAR WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND STALLED OUT ON ME COMPLETELY AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT ABOUT TO GET ON INTERSTATE 81 IN STAUNTON VA. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR BACK UP, BUT THE CAR WOULD DIE OUT IF I SHIFTED IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. LOCAL SHERIFF'S DEPUTY WAS KIND ENOUGH TO PROTECT OUR CAR AT THIS BUSY INTERSECTION AS WE WAITED FOR TOW COMPANY. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD LOCKED UP. ONCE THEY HAD IT UP ON LIFT, IT DISENGAGED AND STARTED WORKING PROPERLY. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC (WHO WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AT VALLEY NISSAN IN STAUNTON VA) ADVISED ME THAT IT COULD BREAK DOWN AGAIN AT ANY POINT. IT WAS VERY SCARY WHEN IT DIED IT IN MOTION, SO WE WENT WITH THE OPTION TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE TRANSMISSION (ADVISED THAT WAS THE ONLY OPTION TO REALLY FIX THIS ISSUE). REPAIR BILL FROM VALLEY NISSAN IN STAUNTON VA IS $3114.39 FOR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. GOOGLING CVT 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA ISSUES BRINGS A PLETHORA OF RESULTS. I AM CLEARLY NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED AT 64,207 MILES, - 4,207 MILES OVER THE FACTORY WARRANTY FOR THE TRANSMISSION. CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE PEOPLE WHO WORK AT NISSAN COULD STAND BEHIND ANY PRODUCT THAT HAS A FAILURE RATE OF UNDER 100,000 MILES FOR A TRANSMISSION IN THIS WORLD NOW. THEY MADE IT SEEM LIKE A FAILURE AT 60K MILES WAS NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE RELEASED, CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD, AND DETACHED THE FINDERS. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER WHERE A VIN SEARCH WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT OF THREE OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V565000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SMALL PARTICLES OF GLASS SHATTERED OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SUNROOF SLIDING COVER WAS CLOSED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE ENTIRE SUNROOF WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

PURCHASED CAR MAY OF 2013, PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED AND ONLY 21000MILES. FROM ONSET OF OWNERSHIP, BRAKES MADE NOISES, "CYCLOP BRAKE LIGHT IN REAR WINDOW WOULD BLINK CONSTANTLY, DASH LIGHTS WOULD GO FROM DIM TO BRIGHT ALL THE TIME. THE CAR WOULD HESITATE WHEN LEAVING STOP POSITION, PUSHING ELECTRONIC START BUTTON WOULD NOT WORK OFTEN. DEALERSHIP ALWAYS SAID THAT THE SITUATION COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. ON DEC. 2ND, 2015 WHILE DRIVING HOME I WAS APPROACHING A STOPPED CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO SLOW BELOW THE 20MPH I WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT BLANK AND THE CAR STALLED RESULTING IN A COLLISION. THE CAR WOULD NOT START FOR OVER 2 HOURS. THE DEALERSHIP ASKED ABOUT THE KEY FOB LOCATION AND BATTERY CONDITION AND THE BATTERIES WERE GOOD AND KEY FOB WAS ON FRONT SEAT WHERE IT ALWAYS WAS. I FILED A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON DEC, 4TH 2015 AND CONSTANTLY GOT RUN-AROUNDS WITH NO CALL BACKS SEVERAL TIME. I WAS LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND NO HELP FROM DEALERSHIP OR NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. WHILE READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS OF OTHER ALTIMA'S I WAS SO CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY AND HEALTH I PURCHASED ANOTHER CAR. I BELIEVE I HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING AND IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED AND IT ENDED UP WITH A COLLISION INVOLVING ANOTHER CAR.

RIGHT FRONT INSIDE DOOR HANDLE INOPERABLE. REPLACED INSIDE DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY (PART NUMBER 80670-3TA0D)

ON 12/25/15 AFTER LEAVING GAS STATION, HOOD OF CAR CAME OPEN AND CRASHED INTO WINDSHIELD. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND THANKFULLY THEIR WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME NOR THE REAR OF ME. IT DID NOT CRACK THE WINDSHIELD, BUT DAMAGE HAS BE DONE TO HINGE AND SOME BODY DAMAGE WHEN THE HOOD FLEW OPEN.

DASHBOARD CLUSTER WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. LOST SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER AND ALL OTHER GAUGES ETC. CAR ONLY HAD 42,000 MILES ON IT. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND STARTED DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN IT WENT OUT. I PULLED OVER, RESTARTED MY CAR AND STILL NOTHING. HAD TO EXIT CAR TO SEE IF LIGHTS/BLINKERS WERE WORKING AND THEY STILL WERE, BUT NO SIGN FROM INSIDE THAT THEY WERE. DROVE HOME AND SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. NISSAN NOT EVEN WILLING TO ADMIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ABOUT A $1,000 REPAIR, WITH CAR JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY.

CAR INTERMITTENTLY STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. CAR IS UNDER ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. CAR DIED ONCE WHILE I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, 3 TIMES WHILE STOPPED ON A HIGHWAY AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ONCE IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE I WAS MOVING. HAS BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS, 2 TIMES EACH FOR A TOTAL OF 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS, CONTINUES TO STALL. 5TH REPAIR ATTEMPT SCHEDULED.

I BOUGHT A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM ENTERPRISES CAR SALES WITH 44,669 MILES ON IT, AT 1 MONTH LATER I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT EVERY TIME I WOULD TAKE THE CAR BACK THE PROBLEM WOULD GO PHANTOM. AT 8 MONTH LATER THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. ENTERPRISE LIED AND SAID THAT I NEVER REPORTED THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT SO SOON, WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, ON SOME OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY WHILE IDLING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

MY CAR JERKS HARD AT LOW SPEED AROUND 15-20 MPH WHILE DECELERATING ON CITY STREETS. IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC THE CVT TRANNY IS AT ITS WORSE. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANNY CAN'T DECIDE WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO. ALSO, BETWEEN 60-65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THERE IS A JUDDER FEELING LIKE THE CAR IS MOVING ACROSS A WASH BOARD. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER ON 02DEC15, TCM WAS REPROGRAMED. 08DEC15, CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

THE NATURE OF MY COMPLAINT IS CENTERED AROUND THE NOW DEFUNCT TRANSMISSION (CVT) IN MY 2013 NISS ALT SV ONLY HAS 82000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN PRIMARILY AS A COMMUTER CAR TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY (164 MILES) ROUNDTRIP. THERE WERE NO CODES, HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY THE LOCAL AUTO ZONE. THE FIRST NOTICEABLE PROBLEM OCCURRED ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 29TH, 2015, I WAS COMING HOME FROM ABOUT A 150-MILE TRIP AND STOPPED TO TAKE A RESTROOM BREAK, PARKED THE CAR, RAN INTO THE STORE, CAME BACK OUT AND CRANKED IT UP. WHEN I STARTED TO BACKUP THE CAR BOBBLED AND SHUTTERED SOMETHING FIERCE AND WENT DEAD. AFTER MAKING IT TO THE INTERSTATE I TRAVELED ABOUT 15 MILES TO THE NEXT TOWN, WHEN I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT THE CAR DIED. I MANAGED TO CRANK IT BACK UP AND GET HER GOING AGAIN ON MY WAY HOME. AFTER MAKING IT HOME THE CAR WAS PARKED UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. GOING BACK TO WORK THE NEXT DAY WITH NO PROBLEMS (NOV 30TH, 2015), ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK, I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR WAS VERY SLUGGISH IN RESPONSE TO THROTTLE AND FELT LIKE IT WASN'T DOWNSHIFTING, SOMETHING WAS RIGHT'I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND SETUP SERVICE FOR DECEMBER 03, 2015 AND TOLD THEM THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT. ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE HOUSE THE CAR WAS HAVING SOME DEFINITE PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR THINKING NOTHING OF IT. A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER I DECIDED TO LEAVE FOR A BITE TO EAT, WHEN I GOT IN AND PUT IT IN GEAR, NOTHING, THE

1) 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. NISSAN DEALER SAYS MY PROJECTOR LENS HAVE ON THEM WHICH CANNOT BE CLEANED. QUOTED $1000 TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHTS. I DO NOT AGREE, UNITS ARE SEALED FROM FACTORY.

IF I'M DRIVING, WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE CAR, I PRESS THE BRAKES THE BRAKES DO NOT ACTIVATE. THE CAR DOES NOT STOP IT KEEP ROLLING ON. I HAVE TO PAT THE BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR OR PRESS THE BRAKE A SECOND TIME FOR THE BRAKES TO CATCH. IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT SLIPS PASS THE BRAKES! I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO NISSAN FOR THE LATCH RECALL EVERY SINCE I GOT THE RECALL "FIXED" THE PASS AIR BAG LIGHT POPS ON WHEN NO IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND MY CAR WILL STATE THAT I HAVE 100 MILES (MORE OR LESS) OF FUEL BUT MY FUEL GAGE WILL READ EMPTY AND I WILL NEED GAS AS THE GAUGE STATES!

CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AFTER DRIVING OVER 20 MILES. CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE, HOWEVER, THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. CAR SHAKES, SHUDDERS, CUTS OFF. CAR WILL RESTART BUT GAS HAS TO PRESSED EXCESSIVELY HARD FOR ENGINE TO TURN OVER, CAR CONTINUE TO JERK WHILE RESTARTING. LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 30 DAYS! I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN AMERICA WAS CONTACTED FOR DIRECTION, CAR MAY REQUIRE SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND/OR NEW TRANSMISSION. WHICH IS SPECULATION! THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% THAT THIS SOLUTION WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2013 AND PRIOR YEAR MODELS. I WILL ALSO FILE ANOTHER FORMAL COMPLIANT WITH NISSAN AMERICA. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING OTHER THAN THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND SHUDDER IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE CAR SHUTS OFF! THUS FAR THE CAR CUTS OFF WHEN STATIONARY, IF THE GAS IS PRESSED BEFORE THE CAR CUTS OFF COMPLETELY THE CAR WILL SELF CORRECT AND NOT SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 6 MONTHS ON A CITY STREET, THIS CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 60K MILES.

ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AFTER SERVICE, WARRANTEE EXPIRES AND SAME CONDITION REQUIRES $400 SERVICE TO REPLACE AIR/FUEL SENSOR. DURING WARRANTEE IT ONLY REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING THE ECM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE OCS WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED HEAD AND NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE SAFETY LATCH ON THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE HOOD TO FLY UP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000. ...UPDATED 02/19/16 *BF THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE LATCH BROKE, THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 02/24/16.*JB

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE ENTIRELY INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING INTENSITY AND FAILED TO SAFELY ILLUMINATE THE STREET AHEAD OF YOU. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, WHILE RAINING, OR UNDER ANY LOW VISIBILITY CONDITIONS SINCE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE OBJECTS, EVEN WORST, PEDESTRIANS IN THE PATH OF TRAVEL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR (BRAND NEW), BUT BECAME A REAL SERIOUS AND SAFETY HAZARD BETWEEN 15K-20K MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT LEAVING OTHER DRIVERS WITH A PARTIAL BLINDNESS; WHICH I CONSIDER IT UNFAIR AND UNSAFE, TOO. SOMETIMES, WHEN I SWITCH TO LOW FOR AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, I SUDDENLY FIND MYSELF DRIVING COMPLETELY WITHOUT SUFFICIENT LIGHT. MY EYES BECOME PARTIALLY BLIND DUE TO THE CHANGE IN LIGHT INTENSITY. AS A SAFETY PROFESSIONAL IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY, I HOPE THAT NISSAN AND NHTSA DO SOMETHING SOONER, BECAUSE TOMORROW MIGHT BE TOO LATE.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 140 LBS. THE YELLOW AIRBAG OFF LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT USUALLY GOES OUT AFTER ABOUT FIVE SECONDS. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON. I SOMETIMES PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART AND IT USUALLY GOES OUT LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEALER. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A WEIGHT ISSUE WITH THE PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT. 140 LBS AND UNDER THE LIGHT MIGHT COME ON. LOOKING ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN LIGHT IS ON, AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG REMAINS DISABLED WHEN FULL SIZED ADULT IS SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER OVER ONE YEAR AGO FOR RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. NEW RECALL ISSUED OCT 2015, TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN FOR FIX ON 11/24/15. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX, SAY THEY HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE. NISSAN STATES I WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH INOPERABLE PASSENGER AIR BAGS. SHOWED NISSAN SERVICE DEPT VIDEO OF FULL SIZED ADULT SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT, VEHICLE RUNNING, AND "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN CENTER OF DASH. NISSAN STATES THERE IS NO FAULT IN THE SYSTEM, AND PASSENGER SHOULD JUST "MOVE THEIR LEGS" TO ARM THE SYSTEM. PASSENGER SEATING POSITION DOES NOT ARM AIRBAG OR ALTER THE FUNCTION OF THE FAULTY SYSTEM. PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY, WITH VEHICLE MOVING/STATIONARY.

NISSAN ALTIMA 2013, 50,000 MILES. HAS A CRACKED WINDSHIELD. I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS OF OTHER OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ACQUIRED SINCE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THERE'S A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY WITH A CRACK WINDSHIELD THE AIR BACK MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STATIONARY FOR A COUPLE MONTHS. CRACK APPEARED ALL OF A SUDDEN. I DO NOT RECALL A HARD IMPACT BY A ROCK OR OTHER SIMILAR DEBRIS. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN THE FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HOOD UNLATCHED WITHOUT WARNING AND IMPACTED THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING DAMAGES TO THE ROOF AND SUN ROOF, AND THE WINDSHIELD GLASS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V116000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE PARK GEAR AND HESITATED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE STRUCK TREE, ENGULFED IN FLAMES. DRIVER, SOLE OCCUPANT, ALSO ENGULFED IN FLAMES INSIDE CAR. VEHICLE WAS ON CITY STREET, NO OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED IN CRASH.

WHILE DRIVING AND PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ELECTRICAL ODOR COMING THROUGH THE AIR CONDITION VENTS. THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. WHILE TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR HANDLE FAILED TO WORK. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,898....UPDATED 01/07/16 *BF *CN

JUST PURCHASED NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 SL WITH 24,000 MILES STILL UNDER NEW CAR WARRANTY IN SEPT. PAYING $400 MONTHLY. ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED COFFEE CUP WHEN GETTING INTO CAR. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SHIFTER STICKS IN PARK, AND YOU CAN'T GET IT OUT UNLESS YOU PAY NISSAN $1000 TO REPLACE IT. I PAYED THEM $120 TO CLEAN. IT DIDN'T WORK. THE NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN OFFICE CALLED ME TO TELL ME THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DESIGN ISSUE. MY BOSS HAS A $45,000 NISSAN TITAN, AND HE HAS TO USE A SCREW DRIVER LIKE I DO TO PUSH DOWN IN THE LITTLE OPENING BESIDE THE GEARS. YOU HAVE TO LIFT THE LITTLE BOX LID TO THE LEFT OF THE GEARS. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS. I AM SINGLE, AND STRUGGLING TO MAKE THE CAR PAYMENT ALREADY, AND I WORK IN A REAL BAD AREA. MY SAFETY IS A CONCERN IF I CAN'T LEAVE AS QUICKLY AS I ENTER THE CAR. NISSAN DENIES THAT THIS IS THEIR FAULT AND IS TRYING TO STICK IT TO NISSAN CONSUMERS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN, AND HAVE ALREADY TOLD 2 ALTIMA OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I SEE WHO IS CONSIDERING PURCHASING A NISSAN, OR HAS ONE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK.

POWER SHIFTER WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK UNLESS YOU PAY NISSAN $1000 TO REPAIR. YOU CAN DO A MANUAL OVERRIDE USING A SCREWDRIVER, BUT IF YOU FORGET TO PUT THE BRAKES ON, YOU WILL GO INTO REVERSE AUTOMATICALLY WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION, OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN TRUCK. NISSAN SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY A DRINK BEING SPILLED, AND IT ONLY TAKES A DROP OR TWO. I ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED MY COFFEE CUP WHEN GETTING INTO THE CAR. A DEALER TRIED TO CLEAN THE SHIFTER, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK, AND THEY CHARGED ME $120 DOLLARS. CAR IS STATIONARY.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE IN TWO MONTHS WHILE MY WIFE (110 LBS.)WAS SEATED SQUARELY IN THE CENTER OF THE PASSENGER SEAT.. I NOTICE THIS RIGHT AFTER STARTING ON A DRIVE. MY WIFE MOVED AROUND IN THE SEAT TRYING TO GET IT TO RECOGNIZE HER PRESENCE WITH NO LUCK. IT RESET-TED BOTH TIMES AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND HAVING HER EXIT AND REENTER. THIS VEHICLE HAD ALREADY HAD THIS ISSUE SERVICED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER LAST WEEK. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY SENT ME HOME WITHOUT MAKING ANY REPAIR. I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE PUT FORGOT TO GET IT OUT OF MY WIFES PHONE BEFORE SHE LEFT FOR JAPAN FOR AQ THREE WEEK TRIP. I WILL UPLOAD IT WHEN SHE RETURNS. THIS IS MY WIFES CAR SO I WILL PUT HER NAME ON THE CONTACT FORM.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE AIRBAG RECALL AND PRIMARY HOOD LATCH ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THE LIGHT WAS SUPPOSE TO COME ON AND THEN GO OFF, TO SHOE THAT IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE HOOD LATCH HAD BEEN OILED. *JB

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS SERVICED FOR THIS RECURRING PROBLEM BY THE NISSAN DEALER LAST WEEK UNDER THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PERFORMED BY THE DEALER HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,500. ....UPDATED 12/30/15 *BF

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SV PURCHASED BRAND NEW, APRIL 2013.. MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT DETECTOR IS CONSTANTLY INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTING UP WHEN MY DAUGHTER, WHO IS 18 SITS IN THE SEAT..SHE WEIGHS ABOUT 115 LBS. TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF, AND THEREFORE HOPE THE AIRBAG WORKS, IF GOD FORBID WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR, HAVE HER GET OUT, THEN GET BACK IN AND THEN START THE CAR AGAIN..THIS USUALLY RESULTS IN THE LIGHT GOING OUT AND THEN WE CAN PROCEED "SAFELY" ON OUR WAY, WITH THE AIRBAG HOPEFULLY OPERATIONAL. THAT'S PRETTY BAD WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE A RITUAL TO FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT, DON'T YOU THINK?? I DID TAKE IT TO NISSAN WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW, 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SHE DOESN'T WEIGH ENOUGH FOR THE SENSOR.. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WEIGHS 180 LBS AND THE LIGHT ALSO OCCASIONALLY GOES ON WITH HER IN THE SEAT!! SO, BY NISSAN'S REASONING, THEN 180 LBS ISN'T ENOUGH TO ACTIVATE THE SENSOR???? SHE LOVES IT BECAUSE IT MAKES HER FEEL THINNER, BUT SERIOUSLY, THIS IS RIDICULOUS! SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH EITHER THE AIRBAG OR SENSOR! NOW, I SEE NISSAN HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR 2 YEARS, BUT SOMEHOW, MY CAR IS EXCLUDED WHEN THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH. WHAT IS THE REASONING HERE?? ALSO, I LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS VERY HIGH AND I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAGS WHERE THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH, LIKE HERE WHERE I LIVE AND DRIVE. PS,...OTHER THAN THIS, I REALLY

WHILE GOING AROUND 55MPH ON THE HWY 55, HOOD JUST POPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AND ROOF. THIS CAUSED MAJOR BODY DAMAGE TO BOTH FENDERS, HOOD AND ROOF. BEFORE DRIVING THE CAR, I ALWAYS WALK AROUND IT TO CHECK TIRE INFLATED OK, HOOD/TRUNK/DOOR CLOSE/LATCHED. THIS HAPPENED OCT17. WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE MONDAY OCT 19. CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID THIS DAMAGE WOULD BE COVERED BY THEIR HOOD LATCH RECALL THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF. IT'S BEEN 2 WEEK AND STILL WAITING FOR WARRANTY CLAIMS TO APPROVE FIX. HOOD IS VIBRATING WHEN I GO OVER 55MPH AND SO AFRAID THIS NIGHTMARE MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2013 ALTIMA THAT SHUDDERS/HESITATE/VIBRATES INTERMITTENTLY UPON ACCELERATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. UPON PICKING UP MY CAR, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES. I AM KNOW AT 54,000 MILES AND FEAR THAT THE WARRANTY WILL BE UP BEFORE A SOLUTION IS FOUND. THE SHUDDERING/VIBRATION/HESITANCY CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER, NO RECALLS.. I AM SURE NISSAN KNEW OF THE DEFECT PRIOR TO RELEASING THE VEHICLES AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONT TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SEAT WAS BEING OCCUPIED BY A 180 POUND PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE SYSTEM WAS OPERATING AS NORMAL AND THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.....UPDATED 12/30/15 *BF

THE CAR RANDOMLY DISPLAYS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DEACTIVATION LIGHT WHEN THE SEAT IS EITHER OCCUPIED BY SOMEONE WEIGHING 130-180 POUNDS OR THE SEAT IS EMPTY. ALL COMPONENTS OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND RECALL NUMBER 14V138000 HAS BEEN PERFORMED. SINCE THIS RANDOMLY HAPPENS, NISSAN SAYS "IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIX IT." THIS STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON THE ROADWAY AND THE LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON. A NISSAN REP SAID TODAY, OCTOBER 29, 2015, THAT IF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY WHILE OCCUPIED BY MY WIFE(5' 5" 180 POUNDS) OR DAUGHTER(4' 10" 130 POUNDS) THAT "THEY WOULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED." I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS SHOWING THE MALFUNCTION. IT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS DATES.

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THE CAR BEGINS TO LURCH AND THEN STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO DAYS. IN ADDITION, WHEN YOU STOP AT A REDLIGHT AND THEN START TO GO AT THE GREEN LIGHT THE CAR STALLS. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AND WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND US. THE CAR STALLED AT THE LIGHT SO WE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR, AND THEN PUT IN DRIVE. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD BUT STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION. WE REPEATED THE START UP PROCESS AND THE CAR DROVE HOME. THIS MORNING THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. WE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS. THIS CAR IS SIMPLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS STATE. WE DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT A DEALER THIS MORNING. I AM PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE MANY OTHERS HAVE AS WELL. OUR CAR JUST WENT OVER 36000 MILES

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT DOES NOT CYCLE OFF WHEN A ADULT IS ON BOARD. THIS OCCURS APROX 15% OF THE TIME AND REQUIRES THE CAR TO BE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. THIS MITIGATES THE PROBLEM MOST OF THE TIME. CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 3 OCCASIONS TO INCLUDE THE SPRING 14 ALGORITHM RECALL. IF ANYTHING, THE COMPUTER REPROGRAM MADE IT WORSE. NISSAN DEALERS HAVE NO FIX AND IGNORE THE PROBLEM. DEALER TREATS ME LIKE IT IS MY IMAGINATION EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO RECORDED THE LIGHT ON AT SPEED SEVERAL DOZEN TIMES. MY CAR IS A LEASE AND IT IS GOING BACK IN 6 MONTHS. THIS PROBLEM IS DEPENDENT ON THE "BOOT" PROCESS FAILING. THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON DURING TRAVEL IF IT PROPERLY CYCLES WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. IF THE LIGHT SUCCESSFULLY GOES OUT 5 SECONDS AFTER START, IT STAYS OUT. I AM ASSUMING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ENGAGED AND WILL FUNCTION? THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY UNTIL NOW, ONGOING....35800 MILES.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG OCCUPANT SENSOR COMES ON SHOWING THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE ADULT IS 200 LBS. THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THE OCCUPANT SENSOR CLASSIFICATION RESET. IT DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS AND NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER. IT SEEMS THAT IF THE PASSENGER SITS IN THE CAR, BUCKLES THE SEAT BELT BEFORE THE CAR IS STARTED THEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS LESS OFTEN, AS IF THE CAR ONLY CHECKS IF THE SEAT IS OCCUPIED ON STARTUP.

BACKUP CAMERA SIGNAL TO SCREEN FAILS AND LOSES PICTURE WHEN BACKING UP. STATIC APPEARS ON SCREEN. OCCURS WITH RANDOM REVERSE MOVEMENT. USUALLY FROM PARKING LOT OR STALL, INDOOR OR OUTDOOR, EVEN OWN PRIVATE DWELLING GARAGE. ATTEMPTED REMEDY BY NISSAN SERVICE WAS TO REPLACE AUDIO COMPONENT BUT STILL RECURS. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 TIMES SO FAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HOOD UNLATCHED INDEPENDENTLY, STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AND REMAINED IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. UPDATED 02/05/16*LJ THE C ONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. UPDATED 04/05/16.*JB
