2013 Nissan Altima complaints

AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE PERSON SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHS BELOW 130 POUNDS. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THE SENSOR WILL NOT ACTIVATE IF THE PERSON SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHS BELOW 130 POUNDS. THEREFORE IF WE WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WHICH REQUIRES AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, IT WILL NOT DEPLOY. MY PARTNER WEIGHS ABOUT 110 POUNDS. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THE NHTSA MANDATED THIS AND CAN NOT CHANGE THE SETTING. *TR

YELLOW LIGHT ON DASHBOARD SHOWS THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DEACTIVATED EVEN THOUGH AN ADULT PASSENGER (APPROX 150 LBS) IS SEATED IN PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING INTERMITTENTLY SINCE CAR WAS NEW. TOOK CAR TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEN RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND RECALL FIX WAS SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED, BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I ALMOST HAD A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT ON 1-22-15. I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE COMPLETELY DISENGAGED FROM THE TIRE RIM. ALL THAT WAS LEFT ON THE RIM WAS A TWO INCH REMNANT OF THE TIRE. I WILL E-MAIL YOU A PICTURE OF THE TIRE AND I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU NEVER SAW ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THE TIRE ONLY HAD 12034 MILES ON IT. THE TIRE WAS A MICHELIN ENERGY GREEN X. TIRE SIZE P215/55R17 WHICH WAS MADE IN CANADA. DOT B33F00RX0813. IT IS A MIRACLE I DID NOT GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I WAS SO UNNERVED I WENT TO THE NEAREST TIRE SHOP AND PURCHASED FOUR NEW GOODYEAR TIRES THAT COST ME $642.00. I CALLED MICHELIN'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. AND THEY SAID SORRY BUT THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A DIME-AS EXPECTED. CHECK OUT A SITE CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT HAS NO FEWER THAT 257 COMPLAINTS ABOUT MICHELIN TIRES.

VARIOUS TIMES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR WILL COME ON A STAY ON EVEN IF A PASSENGER IS STILLING IN THE SEAT. IT SOMETIMES SAYS ON UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED OR CAN STAY ON FOR 30 MINUTES OR MORE AND THEN GO OFF. SOMETIMES THE RED DASH SEATBELT LIGHT WILL COME ON EVEN WHEN JUST THE DRIVER IN THE CAR AND THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT IS FASTENED. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES RELATING TO THIS AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THE THIRD TIME THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT HAPPENS WITH HIS ALTIMA ALSO AND HE THINKS IT IS JUST RUNNING A SELF-TEST. I DON'T AGREE AND IT WORRIES MY PASSENGERS WHEN IT COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRIP. IT WORRIES ME ALSO THAT BOTH INDICATORS SEEM TO BE RANDOM ON WHEN THEY ILLUMINATE. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I DROP OFF A PASSENGER AND THE CAR REMAINS RUNNING AND GETS OUT OF THE CAR, THE RED SEATBELT INDICATOR COMES ON AS IF THE PASSENGER IS STILL IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT THE SEATBELT FASTENED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AND DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE OCS SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V138000 (AIR BAGS). THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

JANUARY THE 8TH I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK TO HOME MY JOB IS ABOUT 30 MILES FROM MY HOME. I WAS DRIVING NO FASTER THAN 50-45 MILES AN HOUR DUE TO CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREAS ON MY WAY HOME. THERE ARE CAMERAS AT THE LIGHTS IN A CITY 7 MILES BEFORE MY CITY. IF YOU GO OVER THE LINE A BIT THEY TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR LICENSE PLATE AND SEND YOU A PICTURE AND TICKET IN THE MAIL WITH AN IMAGE OF YOU GOING OVER THE LINE INDICATING YOU'VE RUN A RED LIGHT. SO I PRESSED ON THE BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AS THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW TO ASSURE I DID NOT GO OVER THE LINE. AS I SLOWED DOWN MY CAR JERKED I HAD A 2011 ALTIMA THAT DID THE SAME THING SO I WAS THINKING ITS NOTHING ITS HOW THE TRANSMISSION RUNS. BUT WITHIN A 12-15 FEET DISTANCE I STOPPED AS I COMPLETELY CAME TO A STOP MY CAR JERKED FORWARD, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, HAZARD LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOWED UP, AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I COULD NOT GET MY CAR TO DRIVE FORWARD IT WAS EMBARRASSING AS CARS HONKED FOR ME TO DRIVE. I RETURNED MY CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY UPDATED SOME RECALLS. THEN STATED THEIR SYSTEM IS NOT SHOWING IN ISSUES. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND ONCE I WAS ON A HILL THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I HOPE THE RECALLS THEY HAVE FIXED RESOLVES THE ISSUE I AM SCARED THAT THE CAR WILL DIE AND CUT OFF WHILE I AM ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HOPE AND PRAY MY ISSUES ARE RESOLVED AND, I DO NOT GET CRUSHED IN A COLLISION. *TR

MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN I WAS ALMOST FINISH MY TURN WHEN I WAS STRUCK BY A MOTORCYCLE. THE MOTORCYCLE STRUCK THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR OF MY VEHICLE SPINNING MY VEHICLE AROUND. CAVING IN THE DOOR THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOY. MY PASSENGER LOST HIS EYE DO TO GLASS SHATTER IN HIS FACE AND EYE!!!! *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA S FROM CARMAX ON 10/5/14. THE CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO MYSELF SEEING AS THOUGH I HAD NOT PURCHASED A CAR IN 12 YEARS. I WAS VERY EXCITED, BUT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE ALTIMA, I STARTED TO HEAR SQUEALING COMING FROM THE BRAKES, AND ALSO ROARING AND RUMBLING WHICH STARTED IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AND PROCEEDED TO THE CENTER. I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CAR LOCKING UP AND DRIVING SLUGGISH, AND THEN RELEASING ONCE THE RUMBLING BRIEFLY STOPPED. I AM ALSO HEARING AN ANNOYING WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO CARMAX, THEY TOLD ME THE ROARING WAS COMING FROM MY WINDSHIELD WASHER COMPARTMENT THAT WAS LOOSE, AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FIXED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I LEFT AND DROVE AROUND THE CORNER, AND THE SQUEALING BRAKES AND ROARING CAME BACK. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA, AND AFTER TELLING THEM ABOUT THE ROARING AND THE WHINING, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE'S QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE SOUND, AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THE WHINING SOUND IS COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING AND THE ROARING IS COMING FROM THE WAY I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. HOW DARE HE! I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A MONTH BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HE WOULD NOT EVEN TRY TO LOOK INTO THE LIST OF ISSUES I REQUESTED TO BE FIXED. THE NISSAN MANAGER TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO CARMAX OR I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BRAKES TO BE FIXED, AND EVEN CHARGED ME TO ROTATE MY

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGH WAY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED MAKING NOISE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE MORE THAN 20 MPH AND FINALLY IT STOPPED MIDDLE OF THE HIGH WAY.AFTER VISITING THE SERVICE CENTER THEY TOLD ME TRANSMISSION IS BROKEN,I SAW SAME POSTS IN OTHER BLOGS AS WELL.PLEASE TAKE A ACTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF A STORE. I EXITED THE CAR TO PUT MY MOTHER'S WALKER IN THE TRUNK. I HAD REACHED THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE (ON DRIVER'S SIDE) WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE. I RAN AFTER IT AND GRABBED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE TO TRY AND SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE BUT IT WAS IN GEAR AND I WAS THROWN TO THE GROUND INJURING MY KNEE. THE CAR PROCEEDED TO CRASH INTO TWO OTHER CARS BEFORE IT CAME TO A STOP. I WAS IN SHOCK AND TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IN AN AMBULANCE. I WAS NOT THINKING CLEARLY AND ASSUMED THAT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY LEFT THE CAR IN DRIVE. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, WHEN I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN I NOTED THAT WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY START FORWARD, RENDERING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR WITHOUT BEING PAINFULLY AWARE THAT IT WAS ALREADY MOVING. THE SURGE FORWARD WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER I GOT OUT. I RETURNED TO THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT TO TEST OUT THE HYPOTHESIS THAT I MAY HAVE LEFT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL. THE ROAD WAS PERFECTLY FLAT AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE WHEN IN NEUTRAL. I REPOSITIONED THE CAR UP AND DOWN THE ROAD IN FIVE YARD INCREMENTS AND AT NO POINT DID THE CAR MOVE FORWARD FROM A STOP WHEN SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. HE DID NOT ASK ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN. HE GAVE ME THE PHONE NUMBER OF THE NATIONAL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT. I CALLED AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THE INVESTIGATOR ASSIGNED TO THE CASE.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY RECALLS ON THESE PARTS ALTERNATOR THEY SAY MIND ID BAD AND A NOTHER LADY WAS THERE SHE HAD TO REPLACE HERS I CANNOT BELIEVE THESE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE SO SOON.THERE MUST BE A FAULT SOME WHERE. *TR

SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THEY TRIED TO REPAIR IT MORE THAN 3 TIMES BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. AND THE CASE IS BEING DRAGGED ON (THE MANUFACTURER IS TAKING ADVANTAGE SINCE EVEN THE MILEAGE IS ADDING UP ALL THIS TIME) WITHOUT A PROPER SOLUTION AND THEY(MANUFACTURER) SEEM TO DISREGARD THE FATAL NATURE OF A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE THESE ISSUES EVERYDAY DRIVING THIS CAR. SHUTTERING AT LOW RPM WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, NOTICEABLE DELAY IN GEARS SHIFTING WHEN SHUTTERING IS OCCURRING BETWEEN 1200 AND 1800 RPM. RPM'S INCREASE RAPIDLY(SHARP SPIKE) WHEN CAR IS GOING DOWN HILL BUT DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO GAIN SPEED. THE RAMPING OF RPM'S IS LOUD AND RESEMBLES WHEN YOU HIT GAS TO ACCELERATE TO ENTER A HIGHWAY ONLY YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE ACCELERATION IN SPEED. ALSO COMING UP HILL THE CAR GIVES OFF A BURNING SMELL. I HAVE NOT LOCATED THE SOURCE OF THE BURNING SMELL AND IT GOES AWAY AFTER GOING BACK TO FLATTER TERRAIN FOR AWHILE. THE SMELL LINGERS ENOUGH TO CAUSE CONCERN. *TR

AS MANY OTHERS HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, THIS 2013 ALTIMA WILL NOT DETECT AN ADULT PASSENGER (140+ LBS) AND WILL TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE INITIAL SAFETY RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED ON THE CAR (PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE), BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL DEALERS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS HUGE SAFETY CONCERN MAKES THE CAR UNUSABLE WHEN WE NEED TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN THE CAR AND WE CANNOT GET THE AIRBAG TO WORK PROPERLY. NHTSA: PLEASE FORCE NISSAN TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE! *TR

I WAS TRYING TO GET INTO MY CAR TO GET TO WORK. THE KEY FOB WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL, THE DAS WAS TELLING ME THAT MY KEY I'D WAS INCORRECT. IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS AND THE CAR FINALLY STARTED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY. I HAVE SINCE CHANGED MY BATTERY AND STILL AM HAVING THE PROBLEM. TONIGHT I WAS STUCK OUTSIDE OF MY CAR FOR HOURS B4 IT WOULD OPEN. *TR

VERY HARD SHUTTER AT DURING ACCELERATION LOW SPEEDS OF APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. THIS SHUTTER CAUSES A HESITATION WHICH COULD PROVE DANGEROUS. *TR

CPSC: I1490345: 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. *LN THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED EARLIER IN THE YEAR, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND A SOFTWARE FIX WAS DONE. HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. *JB

WE PULLED IN TO A GAS STATION AND I REACHED DOWN IN THE DARK TO RELEASE THE FUEL DOOR. MY HUSBAND PUT GAS IN THE CAR AND WE HEADED FOR HOME. SUDDENLY, THE HOOD FLEW UP AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY VIEW AND SCARING THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF US. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITHOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT. WHEN WE GOT HOME, UPON INSPECTION, WE FOUND PRETTY EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND SIDE PANELS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO WORKS ON OUR CAR AND WAS GIVEN A VERY PRICEY ESTIMATE. I FEEL THAT THE SAFETY ON THE HOOD LOCK SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS FROM HAPPENING. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE ( IT COULD HAPPEN WHEN I HAVE MY BABY GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THE CAR ) AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL. *JS

LOST POWER WHILE UNDERWAY ON A SECONDARY ROAD. JUST BEFORE THE INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH INERTIA TO MOVE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *JS

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS DURING ACCELERATION, GENERALLY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR THUS HESITATION OCCURS WHEN ENTERING HIGHER SPEED LANES.(I.E. A MOMENTARY HESITATION IN POWER DURING ACCELERATION) *JS

THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT AROUND MIDNIGHT.THE HOOD POPPED OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN.FORTUNATELY ,THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THE FRONT OR REAR.THIS SCARED THE HELL OUT OF US.WE CHECKED THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS WERE REPORTED.WE FOUND THAT 238,000 NISSA ALTIMA 2013 WERE BEING RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.WE BROUGHT THE MATTER TO THE DEALER,S ATTENTION AS WELL AS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURER.WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THA THE VIN OF OUR VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL.NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.THE HOOD IS DAMAGED ON BOTH SIDES NEAR THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE IT SLAMMED INTO WINDSHIELD WHEN IT POPPED OPEN.WE ARE DEMANDING JUSTICE AND REPAIR OF OUR VEHICLE AND A SAFETY CHECK. *JS

HAD RECALL FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT PERFORMED IN JUNE. HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THE PASS AIRBAG LIGHT TURNING ON WITH AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT SINCE THE RECALL. THE LATEST HAPPENED YESTERDAY WITH MY WIFE SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. ITS BEGINNING TO CONCERN ME THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. JUDGING BY THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX. NHTSA NEEDS TO REOPEN AN INVESTIGATION FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE MALFUNCTIONED AND FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE AIR BAG SENSOR RANDOMLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,300.

THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I HAVE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT THE INCONSISTENT AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE COME ON AND COME OFF. THEY HAVE CHANGED SENSORS AND TODAY TOLD ME THAT IF I SIT ON THE EDGE OF ONE SIDE OF THE SEAT THE SENSOR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE AIRBAG WILL NOT BE ENGAGED. SOMETIMES IT LASTS A MINUTE (S) AND THIS WEEK IT LASTED 50 MINUTES WITH LIGHT ON GOING ON INTERSTATE 95. COMING HOME THE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 HAS MANY COMPLAINTS AND THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THE ABOVE FACTS WERE NORMAL AND HIS DOES IT ALSO AND HE HAS A 2012. SO...........I GUESS HE DOES NOT MIND DRIVING AROUND KNOWING THAT HIS LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY WITH THE LIGHT ON - HOWEVER, I DO BUT FEEL THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO CLUE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS EVEN THOUGH MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED. I AM WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM NHTSA AND THEN WILL JUMP OVER THE DEALERSHIP AND GO TO THE REGIONAL DIVISION OF NISSAN TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR. * PLEASE NOTE: THE TECH I TALKED TODAY DID NOT INDICATE ON THE PRINTOUT MY TOTAL PROBLEM JUST THAT A SENSOR WAS REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE HOOD UNLATCHED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE HOOD STRUCK THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED BODY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,683.

WEDNESDAY NOV. 19TH I CALLED NISSAN USA EXPRESSED MY CONCERN ABOUT THE CAR NOT BEING TRUST WORTHY. MCGAVOCK WROTE ON SERVICE ORDER THE CAR IS FLOODING THEN THE ACCELERATOR BURNT OUT. THIS CAR IS GOING TO GIVE PROBLEMS FROM NOW ON. I TOLD NISSAN USA I WANTED A NEW CAR WITH NO COST TO ME SINCE THE CAR IS NOW BASICALLY A LEMON. MY SON TALKED TO SERVICE ADVISOR AND SERVICE MGR. THEY NOW DENY REPLACING THE ECM. SERVICE MGR SAYS THE PAPERWORK I WAS GIVEN. THE CASHIER MADE A MISTAKE SAYS HE HAS THE FINAL PAPERWORK. *TR

ON FRIDAY 14, 2014 APPROXIMATELY8:33 P.M. I WAS DRIVING DOWN N. TYRON ST IN CHARLOTTE, NC IN TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY DUE TO THE KEY NOT BEING DETECTED. THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THEN A LADY MISS HITTING ME IN THE REAR BY A INCH; DUE TO MY CAR JUST CUTTING OFF INDICATING MY KEY WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP WHEN I PRESS THE START KEY AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME TIME; IT WILL SAY THE KEY IS NOT BEING DETECTED. WHEN I PRESS THE AUTOMATIC START BUTTON ON THE KEY, THE CAR WOULD START UP BUT WHEN I PRESS THE START BUTTON AND THE BRAKE TOGETHER IT CUT OFF AND THE SAY THING COMES UP ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN ONCE IT DID CUT ON WHEN I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE CUTS OFF AND SAYS THE KEY IS NOT BEING DETECTED. THIS A SAFETY ISSUES AND VERY DANGEROUS, IF THE LADY BEHIND ME WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION IT WOULD OF BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. I DON'T TRUST MY CAR AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING AND DID NOT ASSIST ME UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY 19,2014 AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR SINCE. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE OR CONCERN ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS WELL-BEING AT ALL. IT BEEN 12 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF ANY OF THEM BY CAPITAL NISSAN OF WILMINGTON OR THE REGIONAL OFFICE. *TR

MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS LIGHTING UP STATING THAT IT IS "OFF". I DRIVE MY 72 YR OLD MOTHER AROUND WHO WEIGHS 152 LBS. MY ISSUE BESIDES THE FACT IF WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT SHE IS NOT PROTECTED BUT SHE HAS A HEART DEFIBULATOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. ARE THEY WAITING TO BE JUST LIKE GMC? *TR

WHENEVER MY WIFE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UP FRONT THE "AIR BAG OFF" INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. SHE WEIGHS APPROXIMATELY 105 POUNDS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN DEALERS, NISSAN REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND NISSAN USA IN FRANKLIN, TN ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF NOT HAVING AIR BAG PROTECTION FOR MY WIFE WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THEY ALL SAY THE VEHICLE IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NISSAN HAS NO FIX FOR IT. MY COMPLAINTS TO THEM FALL ON DEAF EARS. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE IN OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES AND IT IS A LIGHTWEIGHT PERSON PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT JUST BECAUSE MY WIFE IS SMALL THAT DOES NOT ELIMINATE HER FROM THE NEED FOR PROTECTION. WHAT ABOUT OTHER SMALL PEOPLE? I BELIEVE NISSAN IS AVOIDING A RECALL AT THE EXPENSE OF PEOPLE LIKE US. CAN THE NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? FOR YOUR INFORMATION, MY COMPLAINT TO NISSAN IS CASE NUMBER IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A NEW 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SL V6 I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS NEW CAR. BLIND SIDE WARNING, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYED ON ONE TIME. MY CAR WOULDN'T START UP SEVERAL TIMES AFTER WALKING UP TO THE CAR AND PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. THE KEY WOULDN'T UNLOCK THE DOORS, IT WOULDN'T AUTO START THE CAR. I HAD TO WAIT TO GET IN MY CAR, I ACTUALLY HAD TO STICK MY KEY IN THE DOOR TO GET IN THE CAR. WHEN I DID FINALLY GET IN THE CAR AND TRY TO START IT NOTHING HAPPENED, IT SAID NO KEY THIS IS DANGEROUS I AM A FEMALE GOD FORBIDS SOMEBODY TRIES TO RAPE OR KILL ME AND I AM NOT ABLE TO GET AWAY IN MY NEW CAR THAT I PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR EVERY MONTH. THE DASHBOARD SAYS: KEY NOT DETECTED OR NO KEY, OR INCORRECT KEY ID. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP AND THEY STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. I'VE RECENTLY WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER HOPING THEY CAN WORK ON MY CAR AND GET ME THE RESULTS I'M LOOKING FOR... I COMPLETELY HATE THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN N THE SHOP MORE TIMES THAN MY LAST CAR. ALL THEY KEPT SAYING WAS MORE COMPUTER PROBLEMS. I GOT MY CAR 12/2012 AND MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER 20 TIMES WITH LOTS OF ISSUES. I'M STILL WITHIN MY 36000 WARRANTY. I ALSO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT TIRE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SOME BOLTS AND GREASED IT AS WELL. THEY SAID IT NEEDED GREASE.. THE NOISE HAS CAME BACK ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER!! ITS TIME CONSUMING TO KEEP GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET REPAIRS!! BUT I HAVE TO DO IT. I HAD THE RECALL FOR AIR BAGS BUT I

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HOOD SLAMMED UP INTO MY WINDSHIELD BLOCKING MY VIEW OF SIGHT WHILE I WAS GOING 60 MPH. THE LIGHT ON THE CEILING CAME OUT OF THE HOUSING AND HIT ME ON THE HEAD. IT FELT LIKE A BOULDER LANDED ON MY CAR. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO SWERVE SAFELY TWO LANES OVER TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I THEN EXAMINED THE DAMAGE AND THE HOOD WAS ALL DENTED UP, THE STEEL ON THE FENDERS WAS ALL TORN, AND THE ROOF HAD MAJOR DENTS. I WAS ABLE TO SLAM THE HOOD SHUT, GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND TOOK LOCAL ROADS TO MY DESTINATION. I WAS VERY SHOOK UP BY THE INCIDENT, AND LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I FOUND OUT THAT MORNING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT BY NISSAN FOR THE HOOD LATCH (NHTSA CAMPAIGN 14V565000) THAT OPENED ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 (APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AND A HALF PRIOR TO MY INCIDENT). TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, MY CAR WAS IN THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON OCTOBER 17, 2014 AND NO ONE MENTIONED THE RECALL TO ME AT THAT TIME EITHER. THAT TIME WAS THE LAST TIME THE HOOD WAS OPENED PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT OCCURRING. IT IS BLATANTLY CLEAR THAT NISSAN IS AT FAULT WITH THIS ACCIDENT, THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE 5 TIMES AND HAVE STILL HAD NO RESOLUTION AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME A SPECIALIST IS SUPPOSED TO CALL ME BY THE END OF THE DAY 3 TIMES. I WAS EVEN GIVEN THE INDIVIDUAL'S CONTACT INFORMATION D

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD DRIFT TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL IN PLACE, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING THE CAR WOULD NOT GET OUT OF PARKING TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN OF CAR AND START CAR TO SEE IF IT GET OUT OF PARK AND IT WOULD NOT. HAD TO INSERT ANOTHER OBJECT IN MANUAL SHIFT RELEASE TO GET CAR INTO GEAR AND DRIVE. CALLED DEALER THEY SAID IT IS UNKNOWN IF COVERED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT IS NOT COVERED AND THE PART IS OVER A MONTH AWAY. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER CARS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE CAR FOR THE HOOD LATCH. APPARENTLY, ALL THAT IS DONE IS THEY BEND THE HOOD LATCH. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO MONEY IN IT FOR THE DEALERS AND I CAN'T FIND ONE THAT WILL PERFORM THE WORK. ONE, AUTONATION NISSAN, SAID THEY WOULD DO IT BUT ONLY IF I SCHEDULED OTHER WORK AT THE SAME TIME. I CONTACTED NISSAN, BUT THEY REFUSED TO GET INVOLVED. *TR

WHEN I TEST DROVE AND PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, EVERYTHING SEEMED GREAT. IT WAS A VERY SHORT TEST DRIVE THOUGH. NOT EVEN 1MONTH AFTER BUYING THE CAR, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT. I NOTICED THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING TO BE NOT AS TIGHT OR RESPONSIVE (DIMINISHED) AND ALSO NOTICE A LOT OF WANDER IN THE FONT END AND UNDERSTEER/OVERSTEER. ALONG WITH THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING PROBLEMS CAME THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTER. AT LOWER SPEED ACCELERATION (APPROX. 25-40MPH), THERE IS A SHUTTER OR JUMPY FEELING. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAS YET TO BE DONE. MY SERVICE TECH HAS BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE ALL THE PROBLEMS, BUT NISSAN TECH LINE REFUSES TO FIX ANYTHING BECAUSE "IT IS UP TO NISSAN STANDARDS". IN ORDER FOR THEM TO EVEN BEGIN TO REPLACE OR WORK ON ANYTHING, IT HAS TO MEET CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES (BASICALLY JUMP THROUGH HOOPS), EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND HAS BEEN DUPLICATED BY ONE OF THEIR OWN TECHS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BBB AND HAVE STARTED ARBITRATION TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED. THIS ENTIRE ORDEAL HAS COST ME TIME OFF WORK AND ABOUT A TOTAL OF 4WEEKS WITHOUT MY CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2013 ALTIMA THAT WAS PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG STILL SHOWS TO BE OFF WHEN MY WIFE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER NEEDS TO WEIGH 115 LBS. MY WIFE BORDERLINES THAT WEIGHT. HOWEVER, IF THE LAW STATES THAT A PASSENGER MUST WEIGH 80 LBS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE, THE 115 WEIGHT SET BY NISSAN GIVES ME REASON FOR CONCERN.

I HAVE A VEHICLE WITH AN INTERMITTENT PASSENGER AIRBAG CIRCUIT PROBLEM. IT WILL ILLUSTRATE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ANYTIME FROM STARTUP TO 20 MILES LATER. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED. NISSAN HAS NOW INFORMED US TO WAIT 30 SECONDS AFTER STARTING BEFORE ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION OR STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT REQUIRED ME TO TURN OFF THE INTERSTATE TO RESTART THE CAR. NISSAN IS NOW REFUSING TO REPAIR THE CAR. *TR

AIR BAR PASSENGER LIGHT THAT AIR BAG IS OFF GOES ON WHEN PASSENGER 110 POUND ADULT SITS IN PASSENGER SIDE. BROUGHT CAR IN TO DEALER OCTOBER 28TH 2014 FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE, AS OF OCTOBER 30TH 2014 PROBLEM STILL EXISTS DEALER SAID IT IS PASSENGER'S BIOMETRICS THAT IS THE PROBLEM NOT THE CAR, SOLUTION IS UNACCEPTABLE, HAVE NO CONFIDENCE. DEALER IS CHEVY CHASE NISSAN, BETHESDA MD ADVISER [XXX] TURNER 240 395 4069, 240 395 4048. READ THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IN OTHER VEHICLES BUT IS NOT IDENTIFIED FOR MY VIN NUMBER. LIGHTING IS CHECKED OFF BECAUSE WARNING LIGHT GOES OFF. I HAVE PICTURES TAKEN YESTERDAY OF WARNING LIGHT GOING OFF WHILE ADULT PASSENGER IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAR. PLEASE NOTE THAT PROBLEM EXISTED SINCE AUGUST AND WAS NOT PICKED UP UNTIL I READ THE NHTSA WEBSITE THIS WEEK. THIS A CONSTANT RECURRING PROBLEM THAT EXISTS EVERY DAY. PROBLEM MUST BE ADDRESSED TO PREVENT FATALITY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WITH NO AIR BAG BEING DEPLOYED FOR PASSENGER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR JUST WENT DEAD. THE STEERING WAS DIFFICULT AS I AM 18 AND NOT VERY STRONG. I WAS UNABLE TO GET FROM THE HIGHWAY WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS. AFTER RESEARCH MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH I FEEL IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2003 AND NISSAN HAS NOT REMEDIED THE ISSUE. *TR

SMOKE, THEN FIRE. ENGINE BURNED UP. VEHICLE "TOTALLED." *TR

VEHICLE HAS A SHUDDER WHEN DECELERATING FROM 65 TO 60. HAS PROGRESSIVELY BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. IN ADDITION TO THE SHUDDER AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT NOW HAS STARTED TO SHUDDER AND LACK RESPONSE AT LOWER SPEEDS AT RANDOM. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED AT LEAST 5 MPG SINCE ALL OF THESE ISSUES STARTED. I HAVE TAKEN TO NISSAN SERVICE TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM "COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED" AND THERE ISN'T A CODE THAT SHOWS ANYTHING WRONG ON COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. ALL SEARCHES FOR THESE ISSUES IN RELATION TO A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5 SL, RETURN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS AND NO RESOLUTION. CURRENT MILEAGE IS15,000. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO KEEP ALL REPORTS FROM SERVICE SO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM LATER I HAVE DOCUMENTATION THAT IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. IT APPEARS NISSAN SHOULD GET IN FRONT OF THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY AS IT IS NOT LEAVING A GOOD MARK ON THEIR NAME TO HAVE SUCH NEW VEHICLES WITH THIS DRASTIC OF A PROBLEM. *TR
