2013 Nissan Altima complaints

CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 2/27/2015. LEFT THE CAR LOT AND WENT BACK TO HAVE TIRE SENSOR REPLACED AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. ON 3/3/2015, MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE CAR WHEN IT STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WOULDN'T MOVE. THE ENGINE WOULD START BUT WOULDN'T MOVE. CALLED DEALERSHIP. THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK AND GOT US A RENTAL CAR. AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, WAS TOLD THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS GONE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS REPLACED COSTING ME $100 DEDUCTIBLE. ALL OF THIS BEFORE MY FIRST CAR NOTE IS PAID. *TR

CAR PURCHASED 2/27/2015. HAVING A TIRE SENSOR AND TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED IN LESS THEN TWO WEEKS OF PURCHASING THIS THING, NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WEEKS LATER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THEY RAN TESTS AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WAS TOLD THAT A PART MAYBE GOING BAD BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL IT WAS COMPLETELY BAD. THEY TURNED THE LIGHT OFF AND WAS TOLD THAT IF IT CAME BACK ON THEN TO BRING IT BACK. TWO DAYS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN TO CHECK IT FOR 4 DAYS. MY HUSBAND WENT UP THERE TO TALK TO THE REPRESENTATIVE. HE TOLD THEM THAT WE WERE HEADING OUT OF TOWN OVER 600 MILES AWAY. HE WANTED TO KNOW IF IT WOULD BE OK AND DID WE PURCHASE A LEMON. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY DON'T SELL LEMONS AND WE SHOULD BE FINE. THE ASSOCIATE TURNED THE LIGHT OFF. AFTER RETURNING FROM THE TRIP 3 DAYS LATER, 2 HOURS FROM HOME, THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. TWO DAYS LATER IT WENT OFF. A WEEK AND A HALF THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND MY HUSBAND, BEING FEED UP, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED FOR $160 AND THAT'S WHY THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. THE UPDATE WAS DONE ON 4/20/2015. TODAY, 4/22/2015, I WENT TO MY SON'S SPORTS BANQUET AND THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TAKING IT BACK UP THERE ON THE 24TH. I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE SOMETHING IS GOING ON AND WE ARE NOT BEING TOLD ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND EVERYTHING BUT NOTHING HAS

I'VE HAD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT THAT IS IN THE CENTER OF DASH COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN WITH AN ADULT SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (8/9/14), THEY SAID THIS IS NEW ISSUE AND THAT THEY WOULD DO SOME SORT OF SOFTWARE UPDATE AND THE PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN (11/19/14) AND THEY SAID THE UPDATE MIGHT NOT HAVE TAKEN PROPERLY, SO THEY DID THE UPDATE AGAIN. WELL IT TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR IN (3/16/15) AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL DO A COMPLETE REPROGRAM JUST IN CASE THERE WAS A LINGERING ISSUE FROM LAST TIME. WELL, THAT DID NOT WORK. THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING AND I TOOK THE CAR IN YESTERDAY (4/14/15) AND THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID THAT THEY PERFORMED A FUNCTION TEST AND COULDN'T FIND ANY ERROR CODES, SO THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY SAID THAT IF IT HAPPENS TO BRING IT IN ASAP. WITH THIS ISSUE BEING SO INTERMITTENT, I HAVE RESORTED TO TAKING PHOTOS OF PEOPLE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED MORE SERIOUSLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK AND RESTRAIN THE DRIVER. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES . THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE AN INSPECTION WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN #14V138000 ON 3/11/15. ON 3/12/15, THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CONTINUED TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY (E.G. NOT DETECTING AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT). THIS HAS BEEN NOTED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE OCS SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED BY THE OEM. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THERE ARE PASSENGERS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS ARE AT GREAT RISK WHEN THIS IS OCCURRING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A NISSAN DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS SAFETY CONCERN TO NO AVAIL. *TR

AIR BAG OFF LIGHT COMES ON WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT. DEALER CHECKED, NO ISSUE FOUND. MONTHS LATER, LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON, DEALER FINALLY REPLACED SENSOR AND REPROGRAMMED CAR'S COMPUTER. AS OF TODAY, TWO YEARS LATER, LIGHT STILL TURNS ON. HAVE PICS OF AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ON WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT, AND LIGHT ON WITH NO PASSENGER IN SEAT. CAR NOW OUT OF 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT HAVE APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER TO CHECK OUT AGAIN ON 04/14/2015. *TR

UNABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I MIGHT NOT HAVE PRESSED ON THE BRAKE. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT UNLOCKED AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY MARCH 27, 2015, AND WAS TOLD THE 'BRAKE SAFETY SWITCH' FAILED. THIS WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $154. LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND CAR WAS SHIFTING FINE. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE A LOCAL DAY WENT TO LOCAL STORE AND PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, WHEN I CAME OUT AND WHEN TO LEAVE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO SHIFT THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER REMOVED THE "SHIFT LOCK COVER BUTTON" AND USED A SCREWDRIVER TO OVERRIDE THE GEARSHIFT LEVER AND THEN PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR, AND ON THE TRUCK. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THE ENTIRE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY HAVE NOT TOLD ME WHY IT FAILED. WHEN THE CAR HAD 59,000 MILES I TOOK THE CAR INTO THIS SAME DEALERSHIP. AT T AT THAT TIME, THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, STATING THAT THERE WAS A "CODE FAILURE". SINCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, THE COST FOR REPAIR IS OVER $650. THEY HAVE NOT INDICATED WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE, ONLY THAT IT HAS TO BE REPLACED . SEEMS FUNNY THAT THIS WOULD FAIL RIGHT AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATE INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS NOT ACTIVATED ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO INTERMITTENTLY OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES MY PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IS COMING ON WHEN A NORMAL SIZED ADULT IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. APPARENTLY, THIS IS TIED TO A SENSOR WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG IF SOMEONE HAS A SMALL CHILD (BETWEEN 30 LBS AND 80 LBS) IN THE FRONT SEAT DUE TO THE INCREASED RISK OF INJURY WITH AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR, IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10% OF THE TIME I HAD AN ADULT IN THE FRONT SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE. ONCE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS INSPECTED WITH NO ISSUES FOUND. AND THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE COMPUTER ACCORDING TO A TSB FROM NISSAN THAT THEY HAD ON FILE. SINCE THE RE-PROGRAMMING WAS DONE, THE FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED TO ROUGHLY 30% OF THE TIME AN ADULT IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. THE SIZE OF THE PASSENGER IS IRRELEVANT. IT HAPPENS EQUALLY OFTEN WHEN MY 135 LB WIFE IS IN THE FRONT SEAT AS IT DOES WHEN MY DAD OR FATHER-IN-LAW (BOTH ROUGHLY 180 LBS - 200 LBS) ARE IN THE FRONT SEAT. I LOVE THE CAR, BUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THE PREVIOUS RECALL/TSB HAS NOT RESOLVED OR EVEN IMPROVED THE ISSUE. IT ACTUALLY MADE IT WORSE. *TR

MY NISSAN DEALER SUPPOSEDLY SAID THEY FIXED A FAULTY PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR. SINCE THE "FIX" THE SENSOR IS SHOWING THAT THERE IS NO PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WHEN IN FACT THEIR IS SOMEONE RIDING THERE. WHEN I WENT FOR MY LAST ROUTINE OIL CHANGE ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, I LET THEM KNOW OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK AND SCHEDULE A DIFFERENT APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THIS FIXED. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON (INDICATING NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) WHEN AN ADULT WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND ALSO HEARD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. DEALER TOLD ME THAT A FIX WAS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME AND THAT I SHOULD WAIT FOR A RECALL NOTICE. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE MANY MONTHS LATER. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND SOMETHING WAS ADJUSTED/FIXED PER THE DEALER BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I WAS TOLD THAT I PROBABLY WAS NOT SITTING IN THE SEAT CORRECTLY OR I WAS UNDER WEIGHT. NEITHER ARE TRUE. DEALER RETESTED AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE INDICATOR LIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. I HEARD RECENTLY ON TV THAT OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME WERE STILL COMPLAINING. I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY BE MORE WIDESPREAD SINCE I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING IT. HOPE I NEVER HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN THIS CAR! *TR

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON WITH AN ADULT IN THE SEAT. NISSAN HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT NUMEROUS TIME WITHOUT SUCCESS. I QUESTION WHETHER THE BAG WILL GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT I SHOULD CALL CORPORATE AND RECORDED THE COMPLAINT. THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 TO PREMIER NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN FREMONT CA MULTIPLE TIMES FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR, WILL REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN FREMONT CA HAS TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM MULTIPLE TIMES BUT PROBLEM STILL REMAINS SAME. ONLY THING THAT CHANGED WAS ME, THAT I STOPPED COMPLAINING ABOUT IT TO DEALERSHIP. TODAY I SAW THE NEWS THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS FOR OTHER PEOPLE SO I THOUGHT OF SUBMITTING A NEW COMPLAIN TODAY. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAIN ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO. *TR

EVEN AFTER BEING REPAIRED FOR A RECALL, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER DID A SIMPLE INSPECTION AND CLAIMED NO PROBLEM FOUND. THEY REFUSED TO PERFORM DETAILED INVESTIGATION UNLESS I PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS, BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. *TR

THIS IS FOR THE CURRENT SAFETY RECALL ISSUE ON THIS MODEL. I HAD THE DEALER "FIX" THE INITIAL RECALL BUT HAVE HAD NUMEROUS INCIDENTS AFTERWARDS WITH THE AIRBAG. THIS INCLUDES THE AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON/OFF WHILE MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IN ADDITION I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH NOTHING IN THE SEAT. I HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTO EVIDENCE OF THIS OCCURRING AFTER THE CAR WAS SENT TO NISSAN FOR THE INITIAL "FIX". WHEN THIS OCCURS I AM FORCED TO PULL OVER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE TOLD MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FACE TO FACE THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THEIR CAR WHICH IS LEASED FROM THEM AND THEY DID NOT TAKE MY CONCERN SERIOUSLY. I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RETURN THE CAR AND TERMINATE MY LEASE SINCE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AROUND IN THIS FAMILY SEDAN. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT BUT IT MAKES ME EXTREMELY NERVOUS IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. *TR

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS IN THIS VEHICLE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT NOT EXTINGUISHING, INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS NOT ARMED, EVEN WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER SEATED AND BUCKLED. WE HAVE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE ON AND OFF FOR AS LONG AS WE HAVE HAD THE CAR, DESPITE THE RECALL LAST YEAR APPARENTLY DESIGNED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TODAY BASED ON A NEWS ARTICLE I SAW THIS MORNING THAT INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR MANY DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A LOGICAL REASON WHY SOMETIMES THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY IF IT IS EVER NEEDED. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY AND NOT ALL THE TIME. WE HAD TAKEN IT BACK TO NISSAN THREE DIFFERENT TIMES FOR REPAIR AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS YESTERDAY MARCH 22, 2015. UPDATED 5/11/15*CN

THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE ON MY CAR. WHEN DRIVING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT WILL TURN ON, EVEN WHEN AN ADULT PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE ONLY WAY I'VE FOUND TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE RESTARTS FOR RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED MY ALTIMA IN 12/2012, 90% OF THE TIME THE "PASS" PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN MY WIFE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE HAD THE ALTIMA IN FOR REPAIRS ON THIS ABOUT 5 TIMES AT TAMAROFF NISSAN IN SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN, INCLUDING WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT TWICE AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. TAMAROFF HAS RELOADED SOFTWARE AND CHECKED THE SENSORS WITH NO LUCK. THEY FINALLY INDICATED THAT SINCE MY WIFE WEIGHS AROUND 110 POUNDS, SHE IS ON THE CUSP OF WHAT THE SENSOR WILL REACT TO. JOKINGLY, THEY INDICATED THAT IF SHE WOULD CARRY SOMETHING HEAVY IN HER LAP, SUCH AS A BOWLING BALL, THE PASS AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT BE ACTIVATED. MY PREVIOUS ALTIMA NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STILL DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. AN ADULT CAN BE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER AND IT COMES ON, AT TIMES NO ONE CAN BE IN THE SEAT AND IT STILL STAYS ON. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR SAYS OFF WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE RECALL FIX WAS APPLIED. NISSAN DEALER HAS CHECKED THE SYSTEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND RECALIBRATED THE SENSOR MULTIPLE TIMES. HAPPENS RANDOMLY. CAN HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN 1 DAY AND SOMETIMES NOT OCCUR FOR 2 MONTHS. HAPPENS WHEN IT IS 0F OR 80F TEMPERATURE IN THE CAR. HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN YOU FIRST START THE CAR AFTER A COLD SOAK AND HAPPENS WHEN IT IS A WARM RESTART. I HAVE VIDEO RECORDED OF THIS INCIDENT UPLOADED TO A FILE SHARING SITE BOX.COM PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THE WEB LINK FOR THE VIDEO FROM FEBRUARY 20, 2015 OF THIS EXACT MALFUNCTION. I AM MEETING WITH A NISSAN FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE ON MARCH 25, 2015 AT GANDRUD NISSAN IN GREEN BAY, WI TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. NISSAN CASE #[XXX] A FEW WEEKS AGO [XXX] FROM NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS SAID NISSAN HAS NO FURTHER FIXES FOR MY ALTIMA. I TOLD HER IT WAS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER. SHE SUGGESTED NISSAN INITIATE THE MANUFACTURER BUYBACK PROCESS AND THEY DECLINED TO BUY IT BACK AFTER EVALUATING THE NOTES ON MY CAR. PLEASE HELP GET THESE UNSAFE CARS OFF THE ROAD UNTIL THEY ARE SAFE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE VIBRATES UP THROUGH STEERING WHEEL AT 2,000 RPM REGARDLESS OF SPEED. NISSAN DEALER AND NISSAN USA, INC. HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT THEY DO NOT INTEND TO REPAIR OR ADDRESS IN ANY MANNER. THIS IS DESPITE COMMENTS BY THE TECHNICIAN AT MIDDLETOWN NISSAN OF MIDDLETOWN, CT THAT HE'S NEVER SEEN A NISSAN ALTIMA EXHIBIT THIS MUCH VIBRATION BEFORE. I'VE STATED THAT NEITHER I OR MY WIFE FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR AND ARE NOW CONCERNED THAT A COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE COULD VIBRATE LOOSE. *TR

TIE ROD LOSE WITH SO FEW MILES HOW COULD THIS OF HAPPENED. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS EVER BEFORE AND AM SERIOUSLY GOING TO WATCH OUT FOR PROBLEMS. OUR DEALERSHIP WAS EXCELLENT IN FINDING IT WITH THEIR INSPECTION. I CAN ONLY PRAISE THE DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE GLOW IN THE DARK EMERGENCY TRUNK RELEASE HANDLE PULLED OFF. EITHER THE ANGLE AT WHICH IT WAS POSITIONED OR THE MATERIALS MADE IT SO FLIMSY THAT IT PULLED OFF WITHIN THE TRUNK. I THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS BUT I CAN'T SEE ON. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON MAXWELL ROAD NORTH OF HYNE ROAD IN BRIGHTON, MI. IN PREPARATION TO MAKE A 90 RIGHT HAND TURN TO STAY ON MAXFIELD, I APPLIED THE BRAKES WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE TURN. AFTER DOING SO, THE ABS BRAKES PULSED THE BRAKE PRESSURE REPEATEDLY RENDERING THE BRAKES USELESS. I TRIED TO COMPLETE THE TURN AND HALFWAY THROUGH THE TURN, I REALIZED I WAS HEADING AT ~45 RIGHT INTO A TREE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND CUT THE WHEEL AS HARD AS I COULD TO THE LEFT. THE FRONT RIGHT BUMPER AND FENDER HIT THE TREE. I HAD CONSIDERED WRITING A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL ON THIS VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY AS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE FEARED FOR MY SAFETY AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP IN A REASONABLE DISTANCE AND I HAVE ALMOST SLID INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION SEVERAL TIMES. ALSO, POWER TO THE WHEELS IS CUT MUCH MORE THAN WHAT IS REASONABLE WHEN STARTING ON DAMP OR SNOWY ROADS TO THE POINT THAT I FEAR PULLING OUT ONTO A ROAD AND HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE IS NO TRAFFIC FOR OVER A MILE. I BELIEVE THAT THE TUNING OF THE ABS SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS AN ISSUE. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY ARE TURNED THIS WAY TO PROTECT THE CVT FROM ANY SORT OF IMPULSE DUE TO THE WHEELS SLIPPING AND THEN GRABBING PAVEMENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, THE BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND INDICATED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

SERIOUS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA CANNOT BE PLACED INTO GEAR FROM THE PARK POSITION WITH THE SHIFTER LEVER. WHEN ISSUE HAPPENS MANY TIMES YOU HAVE TO PULL OUT PLUG AND INSERT SCREW DRIVER INTO OVERRIDE SHIFTER RELEASE IN THE CENTER CONSOLE BESIDE THE SHIFTER IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR INTO GEAR. IT SEEMS THE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED INTERNAL LOCK MECHANISM IN SHIFTER WILL NOT UNLOCK. PRESENTED VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER WHICH COULD NOT REPRODUCE ISSUE AND SERVICE CONSULTANT STATED IF THEY COULD HAVE REPRODUCED THE ISSUE MOST LIKELY THEY WOULD FIND THAT SOME LIQUID SPILLED INTO SHIFTER AND ANY REPAIR THEN WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ISSUE HAPPENS VERY OFTEN AND IS FRIGHTENING ESPECIALLY IN CASES WHERE YOU NEED TO GET YOUR CAR MOVED OUT THE WAY QUICKLY. THE ISSUE HAPPENS AFTER STARTING THE CAR, PRESSING AND HOLDING THE BRAKE, SQUEEZING THE PARK RELEASE ON SHIFTER AND TRYING TO PULL THE SHIFTER BACK TO PUT INTO GEAR AND SHIFTER WILL IT WILL NOT BUDGE OR MOVE. SOMETIME WHEN SHIFTER WILL NOT UNLOCK YOU CAN WIGGLE THE SHIFTER HANDLE OR TRY REPEATEDLY AND THE SOLENOID LOCK IN THE SHIFT MECHANISM WILL FINALLY RELEASE HOWEVER MOST TIMES YOU ARE BETTER OFF USING THE OVERRIDE HOWEVER YOU NEED TO HAVE A SCREW DRIVER IN CAR TO PERFORM THAT PROCEDURE. I FEEL IF THIS ISSUE IS TRULY CAUSED BY ANY LIQUID SPILLING DOWN INTO THE MECHANISM THAT NISSAN HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW IN PLACING 2 DRINK HOLDERS PRACTICALLY ON TOP OF THIS MECHANISM. *TR

DEAR NHTSA, PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF THE WINDSHIELDS ON 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA'S ARE DEFECTIVE IN NATURE. THAT IS, DO THESE WINDSHIELDS HAVE A PROPENSITY TO EASILY CRACK POSSIBLY DUE TO WEAKNESS OR DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING? OUR BRAND NEW ALTIMA WHICH HAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD SUFFERED A CRACK WINDSHIELD PASSENGER SIDE, THAT APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. OTHER DRIVERS HAVE ALSO REPORTED SIMILAR INCIDENCES, SEE: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NISSAN/ALTIMA/2013/WINDOWS_WINDSHIELD/WINDSHIELD_CRACKED.SHTML. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND COULD BE A RESULT OF A WEAK WINDSHIELD, PLEASE INVESTIGATE. *TR

AT APPROX. 25 MPH OR 1500 TO 2000 RPM'S THERE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION OR SHUDDER IN THE VEHICLE COMING UP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE GAS PEDAL. THIS ALSO OCCURS AROUND 60 MPH AND IS VERY DISTURBING. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN I AM STOPPED FOR A STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC SIGNAL ETC., WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO MOVE FORWARD, THERE IS NO RESPONSE FOR APPROX. 2 TO 3 SECONDS. I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONCE AND THE VEHICLE SHOT FORWARD AT A SPEED THAT IS TOO DANGEROUS FOR MAKING THE TURN SAFELY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 2-25-15 AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING IS NORMAL FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND IT ADAPTS TO THE DRIVER'S HABITS. I DIDN'T KNOW IF I SHOULD LAUGH OR CRY. I WAS TOLD TO DIFFER MY DRIVING HABITS PERIODICALLY TO ALTER THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 56 YEARS OF ACCIDENT FREE DAYS. NISSAN HAS A COMPLAINT AND HAS GIVEN ME A CASE NUMBER. I THOUGHT I HEARD EVERYTHING UNTIL I HEARD THE ABOVE EXCUSE. THIS VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND AT THIS TIME HAS 21817 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IF THIS IS NORMAL, WHY DIDN'T IT DO IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW? NISSAN MODIFIED THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2015 MODEL, BUT WON'T DO IT IN OLDER MODELS FOR COST REASONS. THIS IS TOTALLY INSANE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED, OR SEVERELY INJURED AND THEN THERE WILL SOME SERIOUS LAW SUITS. *TR

BRAKES FAULTY AND MALFUNCTIONING. ISSUE FOR MANY OWNERS OF 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THIS MECHANISM SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE HOOD ERRONEOUSLY UNLATCHED AND OPENED, OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HOOD LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V565000(LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,222.

MY CAR HAVE SOME ISSUE I TOOK THE CAR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PAX LIGHT AIRBAG NHTSA NUM 14V138000 BUT AS OF NOW THE PROBLEM EXIST AND ANOTHER NHTSA 13V069000 OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM MAY DISABLE PAS AIRBAG AND THIS PROBLEM STILL EXIST ON MY CAR AND ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT I HAVE MY CAR HAS 3 NEW TRANSMISSIONS AND ONLY HAS 24763 MILES. *TR

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 IF THEY ARE NOT NEAR STREET LIGHTS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE BUYING THE CAR, WHICH HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ADJUSTMENT, BUT THEY INSIST THAT THE LIGHTS ARE SET WITHIN SPECS. THE HIGH BEAMS PROVIDE EXCELLENT LIGHTING, BUT WHEN SWITCHED TO LOW FOR AN ONCOMING VEHICLE, I AM SUDDENLY DRIVING WITHOUT SUFFICIENT LIGHT. THIS IS SUCH A FRIGHTENING PROBLEM THAT I PREFER NOT TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THESE LIGHTS MEET SAFETY STANDARDS. 2) THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT OFTEN INDICATES THAT THE BAG IS NOT ACTIVATED EVEN WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED IN A RECALL 5/2014, BUT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE DEALER SAYS "DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT," THAT THE BAG WILL DEPLOY IF NEEDED. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THAT IS THE CASE AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

ONGOING HARD STARTING WHEN WET OR COLD. FINALLY STARTED AFTER GRINDING FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. RAN ROUGH AWHILE.ENGINE LIGHT ON NOW. RUNS OK FOR NOW. SUSPECT CRANK OR CAM SENSORS. JUST TURNED 50K MILES. MY 97 ALTIMA IS MORE RELIABLE. ANYONE ELSE REPORTING PROBLEMS LIKE THIS? THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, NO MATTER THE WEIGHT OF THE PASSENGER. IT DOES IT AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT IN 6 TIMES, PLUS HAD THE RECALL DONE LAST YEAR. I JUST TOOK IT IN AFTER SPEAKING WITH NISSAN USA AND THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE PICTURES SHOWING IT NOT WORKING. THE REPROGRAMMED THE SEAT AND HOPE THAT FIXES IT. TOO BAD IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE REPROGRAMMED IT. THE SEAT BELT LIGHT COMES ON AFTER SOMEONE GETS OUT OF THE CAR AND STAYS ON LIKE THE SEAT IS TELLING IT THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE CAR. NISSAN HAS BEEN NO HELP ON FIXING THIS. I DID ADVISE THEM IF I WAS TO GET IN A WRECK AND IT NOT DEPLOY THEY WILL HAVE A LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS. THE TOPPER I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW, I HAD $500 NEGATIVE EQUITY. I HAVE NEVER SKIPPED A PAYMENT, MAKE EXTRA PAYMENTS AND HAVE A LOW INTEREST RATE. I AM ALMOST $7000 UPSIDE DOWN ON A 2 YR OLD CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HOOD UNLATCHED AND STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA - CONTACTED DEALER SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE CONCERNING PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLE LIGHT COMING ON WHEN MY WIFE (105 LBS) IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE ERROR AND NO ERROR CODES WERE FOUND. RE-CALL WAS PERFORMED IN MAY 2014, AND DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AFTER MANY VISITS TO THE DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE UNRESOLVED PASSENGER AIRBAG ISSUE WE WERE TOLD THE SEAT BELT IS THE PRIMARY PROTECTION AND THE AIRBAG IS ONLY SUPPLEMENTARY. FEB 2014 DEALER WAS FINALLY ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM BY PLACING TWO 50 LB SALT BAGS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER CONTACTED NISSAN TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR ASSISTANCE, BUT THEY WERE TOLD IT WAS WITHIN ALLOWABLE LIMITS, THEREFORE ITS OKAY AND NOTHING WILL/CAN BE DONE. AFTER PURCHASING WHAT WE THOUGHT TO BE A QUALITY VEHICLE @ $30,000+ ONLY TO FIND OUT WE HAVE NO AIRBAG PROTECTION WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO SAY THE LEAST, UNFORTUNATELY THIS WILL NOT BE CORRECTED UNTIL THERE IS A FATALITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 23,731. *TR

MY CAR IS ALWAYS GARAGE PARKED. AFTER COMING INTO THE GARAGE THE NEXT MORNING TO ENTER MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD STARTING FROM THE MIDDLE TOP EDGE AND CURLING DOWN TO THE LEFT. ITS ABOUT 14 INCHES LONG. IT HAS SPONTANEOUSLY APPEARED ON ITS OWN, AND AFTER HAVING DONE SOME ONLINE INTERNET RESEARCH, I'VE DISCOVERED MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS COMPLAINTS ON THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT MAYBE NISSAN HAD OR IS STILL USING A VENDOR WITH DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELDS. I NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED BUT AS OF NOW, I CANNOT AFFORD TO. IF AND WHEN I CAN, I WILL NOT HAVE IT REPLACED WITH ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER WINDSHIELD. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

EXTREME VIBRATION IN THE FRONT ALL THE WAY TO THE SEATS AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 20 MPH. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. LAUGHED AT EACH TIME. WAS TOLD IT'S THE CVT AND HOW IT WORKS. THAT IS FALSE AS I HAVE DRIVEN NUMEROUS VEHICLES INCLUDING OTHER ALTIMAS WITH THE CVT AND THE NISSAN XTRONIC CVT. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE WITH SO MUCH VIBRATION THAT CONCENTRATED. THIS IS ONE OF THE NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. GOOD WAY TO LOSE A LOYAL NISSAN CUSTOMER. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND OR SITTING IDLE. THE RADIO HAS FROZEN TO WHERE I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTART IT. THIS MAY TEMPORARILY CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND MULTIPLE TIMES HAVE I BEEN LAUGHED AT AND TOLD I'M BEING RIDICULOUS. I HAVE HAD THE UNIT REPROGRAMMED, AND STILL NO LUCK. SECOND ISSUE IS MY BACKUP CAMERA. WORKS WHEN IT WANTS, HALF WAY WORKS, OR DON'T WORK AT ALL. WHERE I'M PAYING SO MUCH FOR A VEHICLE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND TO DEAL WITH IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. MORE OF A HASSLE HAVING SOMETHING NEW THAN TO HAVE AN OLDER VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING THE AIR BAG DID NOT TURN ON.THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ABOUT 5% OF THE TIME. PROBLEM HAS BEEN WORKED ON 12-15 TIMES.NISSAN SAYS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WORK WAS PERFORMED ON 10-16-14. IT DID NOT HELP!! WORK WAS LAST PERFORMED ON2-5-15 AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO THEY CANNOT HELP ME.COULD YOU HELP ME?? *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. *JS

THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (AIRBAGS) TURN OFF WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY PERSON WEIGHING 130+ POUNDS. THIS HAPPENS IF CAR IS IDLE, AND AT ALL SPEEDS. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED FOR THE RECALL ON 4 SEPERATE OCCASIONS AND DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AS THEY HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE REMEDIES AND CANNOT FIX IT. THEY REFUSE DOING ANYTHING ELSE TO DO AND SAY IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS NISSAN OF MCKINNEY IN TEXAS. GENERAL MANAGER IS DAVID KELLY AND SERVICE TECHNICIAN IS MATT JOHNSON. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THERE IS A REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION THAT A REASONABLE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN TO CONFORM A MOTOR VEHICHLE TO THE APPLICABLE EXPRESS WARRANTIES. IT HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO REPAIR ON 4 SEPERATE OCCASSIONS. THE CAR HAS GUARDS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR THAT HAVE FALLEN OFF ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS AND BEEN FIXED TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY SOLD AN EXTENDED MAINTANCE WARRANTY TO ME AND MISS REPRESENTED THE PRODUCT AND DID NOTHING TO MAKE AMENDS UNTIL I INQUIRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. NISSAN OF MCKINNEY IN TEXAS SOLD THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH PREMIUM DUNLOP TIRES AND CHARGED A PREMIUM FOR THE TIRES AT THE TIME OF THE SALE. THE ORIGNIAL DUNLOP TIRES ARE BALD AN WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION, WHICH WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY MATT AND GENERAL MANAGER DAVID KELLY, AT 19,000 MILES. THESE TIRES HAVE A 65,0000 MANUFACTURE WARRANTY FROM DUNLOP/GO

TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO VIBRATE WHEN CAR IS LOADED WITH PASSENGERS AND / OR GOING UP A HILL. REPORTED IT TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AT 17,000 MILES AND IT SEEMED TO STOP VIBRATING FOR ABOUT 5,000 AND THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. WE NOW HAVE 35,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AGAIN. THEY PERFORMED A TCM REPROGRAM TO THE CAR, BUT THE TRANSMISSION STILL VIBRATES. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN CORP OFFICE AND THEY HAVE SET UP CASE # 17560576 TO BEGIN LOOKING INTO WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. *JS

WHILE ACCELERATING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY, THE HOOD BLEW OPEN AND CRASHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD. *JS

THIS CARD START SHUDDERING AND WITH ENOUGH VIBRATION TO SHAKE THE CABIN DASHBOARD. VEHICLE START SHUDDERING AROUND: 20 / 40 / 55MPH WHEN RPM STAY AROUND 1500 -- 2000 RPM. WITH LIGHT ACCELARATION, THE CAR WILL SHUDDER JUST LIKE WITH A STICK SHIFT WITH 1 GEAR HIGHER. VERY ANNOYING. NISSAN DEALER OFFER NO HELP. FIRST WAS REPLACE A ALTERNATOR, BUT AFTER 10000 MILES, IT COME BACK AGAIN. AND THE CAR STILL SUDDERING WITH ENOUGH VIBRATION TO MAKE YOU CRAZY AND TIRE OF IT. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD ON A RECALL. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE HOOD FLEW OPEN ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA. THE HOOD BENT BACK PAST THE HINGES TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD. BECAUSE THE HOOD BENT BACK SO FAR, IT PULLED THE FRAME OF THE CAR UP ON BOTH SIDES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE SAFELY. HOOD CLOSED AND SEEMS TO LATCH NOW. I DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING POP UP INSIDE THE CAR THAT THE HOOD WAS OPEN. *TR
