2013 Nissan Altima complaints

THE BEST I CAN DO TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY 2013 ALTIMA IS TO COMPARE IT TO THE JERKING YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IN A STICK SHIFT VEHICLE IF YOU DO NOT CLUTCH AND SHIFT PROPERLY ALMOST CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP. ONCE I WAS ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR ACTED AS IF THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED IT (ST.CLAIR AUTO MALL), THE MECHANIC DROVE IT AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY HE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. WE DROVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (SERVICE DEPT.). HE LOOKED UP SOME INFORMATION IN THE COMPUTER, SAID DIAGNOSTICS TESTS WERE RAN BUT THE TEST(S) TURNED UP NOTHING. AND ALSO THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM. SO, FOR THAT REASON NOTHING COULD BE DONE. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED IT DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I FELT AS THOUGH THE FRONT TIRES WERE MOVING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME AND THERE IS A METALLIC SOUND IN THE FRONT END (CAN ONLY HEAR WHEN YOUR NEXT TO BARRIERS OR BRIDGES ON THE HIGHWAY). THE CAR DRIFT IS SO BAD I FEEL I WILL BE PULLED OVER FOR DUI!!!! I WAS PLANNING A TRIP THAT WEEK TO TEXAS WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN AND I HAD ALREADY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT, THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN!!! I MADE MY TRIP ANYWAY AND IT WAS THE SCARIEST MOST DANGEROUS TRIP I HAVE EVER MADE!!!! I WAS ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY ON ANY STRAIGHTAWAY, THE SLIGHTEST WIND OR ANOTHER VEHICLE PASSING ME WOULD SEND ME INTO THE OTHER LANE. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND ADVISED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND LISTEN FOR THE NOISE AS WELL AT OVERPASSES (WHEN YOU HAVE NOISE COMING BACK AT YOU) THE REP CAME OUT AND SAID THAT HIS TECH COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IT DRIVES LIKE ALL OTHER ALTIMA'S! THIS IS NOT TRUE!! AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD THE NOISE, WHICH I FIND VERY HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE I HEAR IT ALL THE TIME! THE DRIVERSIDE FRONT-END SOUNDS LIKE A 10 YEAR OLD CAR WHEN IT HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR PARKING LOT, LIKE ITS SHOCKS OR SOMETHING ARE BAD... I AM SOOOO DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN AND WITH THE ALTIMA COMPLETELY, WHAT IS THE USE HAVING A BEAUTIFUL CAR WHEN IT IS A DANGER ON THE HIGHWAY!!!!!!!!!! I WILL POST ON

THE LOWER MIDDLE SECTION OF THE WIND SHIELD CRACKED AFTER HEARING A POPING NOISE. THE CRACK WAS INSTANT AND TRAVELED AT LEAST 4 TO 5 INCHES IN LENGTH. *TR

WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON, INDICATING THE AIR BAG FOR THAT PASSENGER IS TURNED OFF AND WILL NOT ACTIVATE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION THAT WOULD OTHERWISE ACTIVE THE DEVICE. *TR

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THIS CAR I NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE SUNROOF ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE NOISE GOT MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN RUNNING OVER SOME SMALL BUMPS EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR TO ROUTE 23 AUTO MALL SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN BUTLER, NJ; THE SAME DEALER WHERE I GOT THE CAR. BELOW IS A LIST OF DATES AND ISSUES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE WITH THIS CAR. 06/07/13 ? TOOK CAR IN FOR RATTLE NOISE AND NHTSA RECALL 13V-158. NOISE CONFIRMED AND NEW HEADLINER ORDERED. 06/17/13 ? HEADLINER REPLACED, HOWEVER NOISE REMAINED THE ISSUE WAS NOT ADDRESSED. CALLED AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE TO THE DEALER. NEW APPOINTMENT SET. 06/25/13 ? DEALER STATES THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOW FIXED, HOWEVER THE NOISE STILL REMAINED. DEALER BROKE PILLAR COVERS AND NOW THEY ARE NOT SITTING PROPERLY, PRESENTING A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. 7/10/2013 ? CALLED NISSAN'S NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. CASE: [XXX]CREATED TO TRACK THESE ISSUES. SPOKE TO [XXX] AT EXTENSION [XXX]. SUGGESTED I GET A 2ND OPINION. 7/12/2013 ? LOW PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT FOR LEFT FRONT TIRE COMES UP. ADDED AIR. ISSUE CAME BACK AGAIN LATER IN THE DAY. ADDED AIR A SECOND TIME, ISSUE CORRECTED. 07/16/2013 ? TOOK CAR FOR SECOND OPINION TO RAMSEY NISSAN IN NEW JERSEY. DEALER VERIFIED COMPLAIN. DEALER NOTICED MISSING INSULATION AND BROKEN PILLARS. NOISE ISSUE SEEMS BE FIXED NOW. NEW PILLARS ON ORDER. 07/18/2013 ? LOW PRESSURE WARNING COMING FROM LEFT REAR TIRE. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND I FIND

WHILE DRIVING ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHILE SOMEONE IS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I NOTICE THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM SO I TOOK IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECOVER ANY CODES OR ABLE TO GET THE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX IT. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS A KNOWN AIRBAG ISSUE THAT I CAN'T GET FIXED. I DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO BE INJURED WHILE RIDING IN MY CAR. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY CARS AIRBAGS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TWICE TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO HAVE THIS RECALL TAKING CARE OF. THE FIRST TIME, THEY ( HERITAGE NISSAN IN ROME, GA) DID NOT HAVE THE PART. THAT WAS FRUSTRATING ENOUGH. NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. TODAY I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO HERITAGE NISSAN AGAIN TODAY TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED. I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] "THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME" REALLY? YOU DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FIX A SAFETY RECALL ON MY CAR. I CALLED THE NISSAN CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD TO SIMPLY TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP.I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY TO BE RUNNING AROUND TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO FIX MY CAR. I DID NOT BUY MY CAR AT HERITAGE NISSAN ( BET YOU CAN'T GUESS WHY) BUT IT IS CLOSER TO MY HOUSE. NISSAN RECOMMENDED PYE NISSAN IN DALTON. I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE AN HOUR FROM THERE TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY LOOSE AND THAT MADE IT HARD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STRAIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,250. *TR

NOTICED PROBLEM BACK IN JAN. CAR WOULD MAKE A BANGING NOISE & JOLT FORWARD WHEN COASTING TO A STOP. SAME PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS WHEN STOPPING AND GOING TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOP. HAVE TAKE CAR TO DEALER I PURCHASED IT AT 5 TIMES & WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG , THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING. ON JULY 11, 2013 THE TECHNICIAN TOOK THE CAR HOME & THEY FINALLY AND WAS ABLE TO DOCUMENT THE ISSUE WAS REAL AND NOW A NEW TRANSMISSION IS REQUIRED! IN DEC 2012 THERE WAS A RECALL DONE ON THE TCM THAT'S WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER RECALL. *TR

WELL I HAVE DROPPED MY CAR OFF FOR THE 5TH TIME FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, THIS TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SENSOR, BUT COULD NOT GET IT TO RESET, SO THEY HAD TO ORDER ANOTHER SENSOR AND MY CAR SAT FOR 3 EXTRA DAYS BUT THEY INSTALLED THEM AND I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK ON JULY 5TH AND ON JULY 6TH THE LIGHT SHOWING MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF WAS ON WHILE AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. IHAVE TRIED TO HAVE NISSAN PURCHASE THE CAR BACK BUT LL THEY TELL ME IS THAT THEY DO NOT INTERPRET THAT MY CAR FALLS UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT IN MY STATE IT IS IF I HAVE A PROBLEM REPAIRED 3 OR MORE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING, OR A SAFETY ISSUE BEING REPAIRED ONCE AND IT IS STILL OCCURRING THEN IT WILL FALL UNDER IT, SO NOW I HAVE TO GO AND SPEND MORE TIME AND MONEY ON A LAWYER. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IT IS ALSO OCCURRING IN THE NEW ROGUES. I HAVE HAD 2 SEPARATE ROGUE LOANER CARS AND THEY BOTH TOO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TURN OFF WHILE AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. I HAVE VIDEOS OF ALL THREE VEHICLES. *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL - VERY POOR HANDLING. A LOT OF SWAY IN THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION. CAR CONSTANTLY DRIFTS SIDE TO SIDE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS REQUIRING CONTINUOUS STEERING CORRECTION. NOT A MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION, JUST POOR HANDLING. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED WHILE ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED DURING REGULAR DRIVING. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. SOMETIMES IT IS ILLUMINATED WHILE AN ADULT PASSENGER IS RIDING AND SOMETIMES NOT. MY CAR DOES NOT FALL IN THE RECENT RECALL BATCH FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN RESET THE AIR BAG SYSTEM BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. THIS BEGAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. 35 MILES. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY RESET THE SENSOR AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAT COULD BE DONE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I'M NOT HAVING MUCH LUCK WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY SAY THEY WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND WILL FILE MY CASE AND CONTACT ME IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. HELP! *TR

SEAT FRAME WITH NEW SENSOR REPLACED AS PER 2013 ALTIMA RECALL STATING THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT. ZERO POINT RESET WAS DONE AS WELL. MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF PASSENGERS OF VARIOUS WEIGHTS SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE LIGHT HAS REMAINED LIT FROM VEHICLE START, OR ILLUMINATED AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE. *TR

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT AT TIMES PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT IS ON EVEN THOUGH A 130LB PERSON IS SITTING IN SEAT. AFTER 4 OCCURRENCES AND SEEING A RECALL FOR SENSOR ISSUES I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY CAR NOT PART OF RECALL AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANY COMPUTER CODES TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO ACTIONS TAKEN. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE AIR BAG WORKING IF WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA HAS A VERY ANNOYING WHINING/WHISTLING NOISE. DEALER SAID THEY HEARD NOISE AND CHECKED OTHER CARS ON LOT AND THEY HAD SAME NOISE, THIS IS NORMAL. I'VE SEEN OTHERS COMPLAINING OF NOISE AND SOME SEEM TO BE GETTING RESOLUTION. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER AND COMPLAINED AGAIN. TOLD ONCE AGAIN THIS IS NORMAL. NOISE IS VERY ANNOYING AND FOR THE MONEY SPENT ON NEW CAR EXPECT BETTER RESULTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS. *TR

FRONT SEAT PASSENGER "AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY WHEN MY WIFE (98 POUNDS) IS THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. NISSAN ENGINEERS AND TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ON OUR ALTIMA WAS "OPERATING AS IT HAD BEEN DESIGNED TO OPERATE". THIS IS AFTER REPLACING THE COMPUTER AND FRONT SEAT SENSORS WHICH WERE DETERMINED TO BE DEFECTIVE. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT MY WIFE WAS MOVING AROUND AND THAT TRIGGERED THE LIGHT TO INTERMITTENTLY COME ON OR OFF. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, THE WARNING LIGHT CAN COME ON OR GO OFF WHILE MY WIFE IS SITTING PERFECTLY STILL IN THE SEAT. FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SAFETY IS VERY IMPORTANT, THAT IS WHY AIRBAGS ARE REQUIRED ON NEW VEHICLES. BECAUSE MY WIFE ONLY WEIGHTS 98 POUNDS SHE SHOULD BE PROTECTED WHEN IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE CAR. THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT MY WIFE WOULD BE SAFER WITH NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. WITH THE LIGHT ON SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES NOT, WHERE IS THE FRONT SEAT PROTECTION THAT THE ENGINEERS DESIGNED? *TR

CAR LOST THE CONTROL WHEN I SPEED OVER 60 MILE PER HOUR. FEELING LIKE LOSING CONTROL. I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WITH TWO HANDS. DIFFICULT TO STAY IN THE LANE. FEEL LIKE DRIVING IN WINDY CONDITION. *TR

I PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER AND HAVE OBSERVED THAT WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND MAY OR MAY NOT GO OFF AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR A CONSIDERABLE PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER WHEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THE SCHEDULED TUNE-UP AND OIL CHANGES BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE SUGGESTED THAT IT MIGHT BE CAUSED BY INSUFFICIENT WEIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TELL ME WHAT IS THE MINIMUM WEIGHT REQUIREMENT. I FIND THAT HAVING THE WARNING LIGHT ON IS VERY DISCONCERTING SINCE IT MAY BE INDICATING A SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHILE A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE BUYING THE CAR ON 3/202013. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND I'M TOLD EVERYTHING IS WORKING CORRECTLY. NISSAN NEEDS O CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AS MANY OTHER USERS HAVE REPORTED. THIS HAPPENS WITH ADULTS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BETWEEN 115-130LBS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY DID A FACTORY RESET. THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. THE SECOND TIME, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS WORKING FINE EVEN THOUGH THE TECHNICIAN AGREED THE PROBLEM WOULD CONCERN HER TOO IF IT WAS HER CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SO I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF SWITCH TURNS ON WHILE AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIRS 4 SEPARATE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY PERFORMED A "ZERO POINT" RESET. A FEW DAYS WENT BY AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK 2 TIMES AFTER THAT AND THEY KEPT SAYING THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO OF IT ON MY PHONE. SO I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD SAY ABOUT IT AND THE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I AM EXPERIENCING. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 10 DAYS. I PERSONALLY SPOKE AND TEST DROVE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE TOLD ME HE PERFORMED THE ZERO POINT RESET AGAIN. BUT WHEN I PICKED IT UP THE PAPERWORK ONLY STATES THAT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND NO WORK WAS PERFORMED. BUT LAST NIGHT THE SAME NIGHT I PICKED IT UP IT DID IT AGAIN AND AGAIN I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF IT SWITCHING OFF WHILE SITTING IN IT AND DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKES NISSAN FIX IT. OH AND THE LOANER CAR WHICH WAS A 2013 NISSAN ROGUE DID THE SAME EXACT THING AND I HAVE 2 VIDEOS OF IT. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED (ABOVE RADIO CONSOLE) , INDICATING PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS OFF, AT 10:36PM WITH A FULL SIZE ADULT FEMALE PASSENGER SITTING AND BUCKLED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. PRIOR TO THAT INCIDENT, EARLIER IN THE EVENING, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THE AIRBAG WAS ACTIVE, AT 9:14PM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT EMPTY AND NO OTHER LOAD PLACED IN CONTACT WITH THE SEAT. TWO MINUTES LATER AT 9:16PM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG STATUS INDICATOR CHANGED STATE AND ILLUMINATED AFTER TURNING LEFT ONTO ANOTHER STREET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, HE HEARD A WINDING NOISE. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD, HE HEARD A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE EMITTING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAIURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

RESUMING AFTER A STOP THE CAR WAS SLUGGISH. IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THERE WERE SEVERAL STRONG JERKING MOTIONS FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN WHEN IT FULLY ENGAGED THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AT A HIGHER THAN EXPECTED SPEED. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH REACTION TIME TO BRAKE AND I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AT THE TIME BUT SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS DONE THE SAME THING STARTING OUT FROM A STOP. IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE TO LEAVE PLENTY OF DISTANCE BETWEEN ME AND THE CAR IN FRONT TO AVOID ANOTHER ACCIDENT. *TR

TURNING RIGHT FROM A STOP AND AS I WAS ACCELERATING, HAD VIOLENT THUNK AND VIBRATION IN CAR WITH LOSS IF ACCELERATION FOR 1-2 SECONDS. BEFORE AND AFTER THAT, CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCE VIBRATION/SHUDDER AND DECREASED ACCELERATION AT ABOUT 20MPH WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS OR DON'T CONTINUE WITH SAME LEVEL OF ACCELERATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED SHE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V069000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1500. *TR

THE CVT TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUTTER AND VIBRATE AT LIGHT ACCELERATION BETWEEN 1200-2000 RPMS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DIVISION 800-343-6913 EXT457206 SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE CASE #'S [XXX] AND [XXX] ON TWO SEPARATE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT NISSAN ENGINEERS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ARE WORKING ON A SOLUTION. THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON SEVERAL WEB SITES. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE 3/26/2013 FROM NISSAN IN REGARDS TO MY COMPLAINT. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT ORLAND PARK NISAN, ORLAND PARK, IL AND HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY REPAIR THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE AND ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THERE ANSWER IS THEY HAVE DONE THE RECOMMENDED SERVICE BULLETINS SENT TO THEM FROM NISSAN TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE AFTER PERFORMING THESE REPAIRS. NISSAN KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO STAND BEHIND THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR PRODUCT. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATES OFF WITH OCCUPANT IN SEAT.- RETURNED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR ON JAN,21, APR 4, MAY 14 AND JUNE 4. DEALER REPLACED OCCUPANT SENSORS ON APRIL 4,2013. PROBLEM WAS NOT RECTIFIED, THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO DEFECT. FILED COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEY CLAIM THEY COULD ONLY GO BY WHAT DEALER STATES. THEREFORE THEY ARE USELESS TO CONSUMER. *TR

PASSENGER'S AIR BAG TURNS ON AND OFF RANDOMLY WHILE AN ADULT (150 LBS) IS SITTING WHILE CAR IS MOVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (0 TO 80 MPH). I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY AND REPORTED PROBLEM TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL. I EXPLAINED TO THE MANAGER HOW THAT COULD NOT BE NORMAL BECAUSE THE PASSENGER CAN SUFFER SERIOUS INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH IF WE HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE CHECKED THE CAR'S COMPUTER AND THERE WE NO ERROR CODES. THE CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL NISSAN ISSUED IN APRIL. NOW, I'M NERVOUS/WORRIED WHEN I HAVE A SOMEBODY IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS OFF RANDOMLY. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRICAL STEERING PUMP MAKES A LOUD VIBRATING NOISE AT LOW SPEEDS. SERVICE MANAGER STATED IT'S NOT NORMAL BUT NISSAN DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER' SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERS TO REPLACE THE MIRROR AND MIRROR HOUSING AND PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. MIRROR CONTINUES TO VIBRATE. ALSO, I GOT SEVERAL LETTERS OF RECALLS ON THIS CAR, SUCH AS THE SENSORS ON THE AIRBAGS AND THE SPARE TIRE BEING OVER-INFLATED. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS TURNED ON TWICE AND DOES NOT TURN OFF, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL, THIS CAR IS A LEMON. *TR

AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM THE STORE, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS AN OBJECT DONE BY MY GAS PEDAL. I WENT TO PICK IT UP AND IT LOOKS LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE HOLDING SOMETHING UP THERE. I LOOKED UP AND COULD NOT FIND WHERE IT WENT, BUT THEN NOTICED A BOLT THAT HOLDS THE BRACKET FOR THE HOOD, AND GAS DOOR CABLES WAS LOOSE. I MEAN IT WAS HALF WAY OUT AND THE OTHER WAS TIGHT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR FINDING ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS. ALMOST LIKE THEY DID NOT QUALITY CHECK IT! *TR

I HEAR A VIBRATION COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF MY DRIVERS DOOR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM(EVEN THOUGH I KNEW WHEN I DROPPED THIS CAR OFF THAT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM). I TOLD THEM THIS WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS YET. IT KEPT MAKING THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING SO I BROUGHT IT BACK THE SECOND TIME AND THEY SAID THEY COMPLETED THE SERVICE BULLETIN BY INSTALLING SOME DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. NOW JUST OVER A WEEK LATER I AM HEARING THE NOISE STILL. *TR

I NOTICED A TAPPING SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY REAR SEAT OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS HAS SOMETHYING TO DO WITH MY FUEL PUMP, AS MY OLD CAR DID SIMILAR THINGS AND THAT WAS THE RESULT OF IT. *TR

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, EVEN WITH A PERSON OVER 100 LBS. IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY "RECALIBRATED" THE SENSOR, BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE RECENT PASSENGER AIR BAG RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN, SO IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS. BY READING THESE COMPLAINTS ON SAFERCAR.GOV, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. HOW LONG WILL NISSAN'S CUSTOMERS BE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH COMPROMISED SAFETY SYSTEMS? *TR

THIS VEHICLE WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING IN BREEZY CONDITIONS, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO WIND AT ALL. THE EFFECT IS AMPLIFIED ON CONCRETE HIGHWAYS WITH LIGHT DRAINAGE GROOVES. WHEN THE ROAD IS WET, IT FEELS VERY UNSTABLE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING ON A STRAIGHT COURSE, WITH CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO VERY SENSITIVE TO SLIGHT CROSSWINDS OR PASSING VEHICLES WHICH SEND THE CAR OFF ITS COURSE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY THE TIRES BUT I KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I HAVE A 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT HAS THE SAME CONTIPROCONTACT TIRES AND IT DRIVES LIKE A DREAM. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS LOCKING UP AT ANY SPEED WHILE COASTING OR DECELERATING,FEELS LIKE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO COME RIGHT OUT OF IT. ON WAY BACK TO DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED AT 55MPH GOING AROUND A BEND,AND FRONT TIRES LOCKED UP AND CHIRPED,THIS WAS THE WORSE ONE, IF THIS HAPPENED ON SNOW COVERED ROADS,THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT I WOULD HAVE WENT RIGHT INTO THE DITCH..WE'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3WEEKS AND PUT LESS THAN 1500 MILES ON IT.THE CAR STARTED DOING THIS 3 DAYS AGO,TODAY TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP,TOOK SERVICEMAN ON TEST DRIVE AND WITHIN A 1/4 MILE, HE HAD SEEN ENOUGH,WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS,THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!!! *TR

WELL THE MAIN SELLING POINT ON THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WERE TOP IN MPG'S WITH 27 CITY AND 38 HIGHWAY. AFTER A WEEK OR SO I NOTICED THAT MY MPG AVERAGE IS NO MORE THAN 23.1. AND THAT WAS WITH MORE THAN 50% TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS WITH NO TRAFFIC(NEVER WENT UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT). I FIGURED IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT BEING NEW AND IT WOULD AVERAGE OUT BETTER LATER. SO AFTER 5,000 MILES ON THE CAR I TOOK IT IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS JUST BECAUSE EVERY DRIVER AVERAGES DIFFERENT AND I KEPT SAYING BUT I AM NOT EVEN GETTING CLOSE TO THE 27 CITY AND I DRIVE MORE HIGHWAY. BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND THEY RESET THE AVERAGE CALCULATOR. AFTER A WEEK IT WAS WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE AND I WAS BRINGING IT BACK FOR MY MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH THIS CAR. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND FINALLY TOLD ME THAT WHILE THEY HAD IT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING THAT MY AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THEY REPLACED IT AND TOLD ME THAT WAS THE FIX. I HAVE PUT ABOUT A TANKS WORTH OF MILEAGE ON IT SINCE AND I AM GETTING UNDER 23 MPG STILL. EITHER SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH MY CAR OR NISSAN IS LYING ABOUT THE MPG'S AND YES I GET THAT THEY ARE PRESENTED BY THE EPA BUT NISSAN DOES THE TEST FIRST THEN SENDS IT TO THE EPA AND THEN THE EPA TESTS LATER ON. EITHER WAY THE MPG'S ARE WRONG AND I DRIVE TO TRY TO GET THE BEST MPG'S I DON'T EVEN GO OVER 2,000 RPM'S UNLESS GOING UP HILL. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE VIBRATION FROM THE TRANS. BUT THAT'S IN ANOTHER

WELL I HAVE NOTICED THAT I HAVE A BAD VIBRATION AND GRINDING NOISE BETWEEN 1,200 AND 1,800 RPM'S WORST AT 1,500. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I AM SORRY BUT WHEN A TRANSMISSION IS VIBRATING OR MAKING BAD NOISES LIKE THIS IT HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS CONTRIBUTING TO MY VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE. ALSO WHILE FROM A STOP AND ACCELERATING I HAVE HAD MY CAR SURGE AND HAVE NO POWER WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND 2 OF THE TIMES I HAD A CAR COME UP ON ME FAST BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS CAN BE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WELL MY BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM AND LANE DETECTION SYSTEM BOTH DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. MY BSM WILL LIGHT UP WHEN THERE IS NOT A CAR THERE AS WELL AS NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THERE IS A CAR THERE. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN BUT NOT EVERYTIME. WHEN IT RAINS IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYTIME. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IF YOU READ THE OWNERS MANUAL IT SAYS THAT THIS MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. REALLY? I BOUGHT KNOWING THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THIS FEATURE WORKS NOT THAT IT DOES NOT WORK! THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO DIAGNOSE IT. VERY SAD. AND SAME WITH THE LDS WHERE IT WILL BEEP AND BLINK AND I AM NOT EVEN OUT OF MY LAN. AGAIN THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS DRY, WET, SUNNY, CLOUDY, SNOWING. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THE CUSTOMERS HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THESE FEATURES! *TR

WELL I NOTICED THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON WITH A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE VEHICLE, IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES, AND I EVEN HAVE A VIDEO OF ME SITTING IN IT AND I WEIGHT 180LBS WITH THE LIGHT ON WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE RESET THE SEAT. IT IS STILL DOING IT, THE VIDEO CAME AFTER THE THIRD TIME AND JUST 3 DAYS AGO. I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND MY OTHER BIG PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS THROUGH NISSAN AND YET I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3 SEPARATE TIMES AND THEY STILL KEEP TELLING ME ITS OK. NO SIR. NISSAN SEEMS TO JUST NOT CARE I HAVE ASKED THEM MANY TIMES FOR A NISSAN REP TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT MY CAR AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE PROBLEM IS ALL THE NISSAN DEALERS AROUND ME ARE OWNED AND MANAGED BY THE SAME COMPANY. AND NISSAN WILL NOT HELP ME WITH A LOANER CAR IF I DRIVE IT 200 MILES AWAY TO THE NEXT DEALER. SO I AM JUST SCREWED. VERY UPSET WITH HOW NISSAN RUNS THEIR BUSINESS. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN EVER! *TR

AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF OWNING THIS NEW CAR, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ONWHILE I WAS DRIVING. I STARTED HEARING SQUEALING AND THUNKING COMING FROM MY BRAKES. THESE ARE NEW AND ON A NEW CAR, THE CAR JUST NOW HAS 6000 MILES ON IT AND IT STILL SHOULD NOT MAKES THESE SOUNDS. I TOOK IT IN THEY DID SOMETHING TO CLEAR THE BRAKE LIGHT AND SAID THE NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE MAKING ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT NOISES. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIND THE PROBLEMS OF THEIR CARS AND FIX THEM! I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING STILL WRONG BUT THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO LOOK ANY FURTHER. *TR

WHILE USING MY WIPERS IF THERE IS SOMETHING LIKE A LEAF STEM, OR TREE POLLEN ON YOUR WINDSHIELD AND IT STARTS RAINING AND YOU TURN ON YOUR WIPERS IT DOES NOT PUSH THE ITEM OUT OF THE WAY, INSTEAD IT GETS PINCHED UNDER THE WIPER AND TRAVELS WITH IT LEAVING A WET STREAM THROUGH YOUR WINDSHIELD AND IT EFFECTS YOUR VISIBILITY. VERY DANGEROUS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO USE A DIFFERENT TYPE WIPER. *TR

I LOVE THE FACT THAT MY CAR HAS THE HEATED STEERING WHEEL AND FOR PAYING SO MUCH FOR THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS WONDERFUL FEATURE YOU WOULD EXPECT IT TO WORK. WELL IT DID FOR THE FIRST MONTH, BUT I USED IT ALOT, USUALLY ON HIGHWAY TRIPS WHEN IT WOULD CUT OFF I WOULD TURN IT BACK ON, THEN ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THAT I NOTICED IT WAS ONLY GETTING WARM AT THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND NOT THE REST. THEN A LITTLE LATER IT DOESN'T EVEN GET WARM ANYMORE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SERVICE AT LEAST 2 DIFFERENT TIMES, AND THEY JUST TELL ME THAT IT IS NORMAL. BUT IN THE ARMADA, AND MAXIMA THEY LOANED ME WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP THOSE SEEMED TO WORK FINE. THEIR ANSWER TO THAT IS THAT IN THE ALTIMA IT READS THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE CAR TO DETERMINE HOW HOT IT GETS. THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IN MARCH OF 2013 HERE IN NORTHERN VA WE HAD A BIG SNOWFALL. I WENT TO MY CAR AT 3:40 AM THE DAY OF THE SNOWFALL, AND STARTED IT. IT WAS ABOUT 28 DEGREES OUTSIDE, AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR FELT THE SAME. I TURN ON THE HEATED STEERING IT I NEVER FELT IT THE ENTIRE 30 MILES I DROVE. TO ME IT FEELS LIKE THE ELECTRICITY IS NOT GETTING TO ANY OR ALL OF THE HEATING ELEMENT. NISSAN SAYS TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, BUT ALL THE DEALERS AROUND ME ARE OWNED AND MANAGED BY THE SAME. *TR

SO I HAVE BEEN HEARING A WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY CAR AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS A NORMAL POWER STEERING NOISE. AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, I BROUGHT IT BACK A WEEK LATER AFTER I FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT THEIR IS A NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THIS. AND THEY HAD IT FOR A FEW DAYS WITH MY OTHER CONCERNS AND RETURNED IT TO ME SAYING THAT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR. WHY IS THIS? IT IS MAKING INTOLERABLE NOISES AND YET THEY DO NOT FIX IT? TO THIS DAY I AM STILL GETTING THESE NOISES AND HAVE READ THAT THE STEERING PUMP HAS FAILED ON OTHER 2013 NISSAN ALTIMAS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! *TR

I HAVE REPORTED TO NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT MY VEHICLE HAVING SQUEAKY BRAKES. THEY SUPPOSEDLY ADDED A STINT TO QUIET THE BRAKES BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. *TR

RPM DROPS SUDDENLY FROM 1200RPM TO 800RPM IN 20-30MPH SPEED LEVEL AND VEHICLE BOUNCES WITH BANG SOUNDS AT TRANSMISSION AREA. WHEN I FEEL CAR LOOSENING THE POWER AT LOW SPEED DRIVING BY DROPPING RPM GAUGE, I HAVE TO PRESS BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR TO KEEP VEHICLE'S RPM SAFE LEVEL TO RUN THE CAR. THIS IS VERY NERVOUS THING. THIS PROBLEM HAVE HAPPENED SINCE MIDDLE OF MARCH AND WENT TO CAR DEALER TO CHECK THIS POINT. BUT THEY SAID NO PROBLEM IN MY CAR. I WILL VISIT AGAIN NEXT WEEK FOR THIS ISSUE. I FOUND MANY OF CASES THIS IN NISSAN ALTIMA FORUM AND OTHER SITES, ALL OWNER COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BUT NISSAN DID NOT REPLY ANY YET FOR THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM RELATED WITH SAFETY ISSUE.
