2013 Nissan Altima complaints

NHTSA-16V-244 Nissan refuses to fix this issue. My air bag light is off and will not go on if someone is sitting in the passenger seat. I need your assistance with Nissan.

CVT Transmission failed when driving on interstate. The car lost power, jerked and stopped. I have a special needs child (3 year old) in the car during the incident and it almost put both of our lives in danger. We followed all the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations for the engine and transmission and changing the fluid and filters at the proper recommended mileage and time. All services including a transmission fluid (last one on Dec 2020) were done at the dealership. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING SIGNS. THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES ALSO WHEN TESTED AT THE DELERSHIP. NO WARNING SIGNS ALSO. THIS IS THE SCARY PART OF THE PROBLEM. It just broke down all at once in the middle of interstate. When towed to the dealership, they said, it would cost about $4500 to replace transmission. My car has only 75k miles on it and Nissan extended transmission warranty up to 85k miles. Dealer refused to repair/replace the transmission indicating Nissan had already settled a law suite which covers only up to 7 years or 85k miles whichever occurs first. Since I used it for 9 years, they refused saying law suites are settled. We understand all cars have repairs, but not $4500 kind. When approached Nissan Consumer affairs, they mentioned they are not going to help and gave me an address if I would like to approach an Attorney. It's clear on the call with Nissan that Customers are not important. They know that their CVT transmissions are faulty. I'm sure they have an army to fight their f

Component malfunctioned - Driver sun visor comes down randomly & always over bumps. 2013 Altima is available for inspection. Risk factor - Visor came down randomly while I was driving in rush hour beltway traffic and hit me in the nose, blurred my vision and put me and my passenger at severe safety risk. Problem confirmed by independent service center No other inspections No warnings. First started in 2018 but has gotten progressively worse to the point of almost causing accidents due to hindering my vision while driving and/or hitting me in the face.

The OCS System in this vehicle has been faulty and on recall several times. Nissan refuses to take accountability. Whenever we take the car to the dealership all they do is clear the code out of the system but they are refusing to repair the occupant safety sensor. This sensor defect can cause the airbags to not deploy in the case of an accident which is not only dangerous to the driver but to others on the road as well, it is potentially deadly. There are several people with the same complaint and Nissan is insisting that consumers need to pay out of pocket to fix the problem although they know their recalls have not been sufficient to remedy the issue. At this point, there needs to be some accountability and reassurance that drivers and their safety mean more than a company's bottom line. This is a potentially deadly hazard that they should be responsible for repairing. The AIRBAG OCS light continues to stay on the dashboard, and the passenger occupant light does not adequately work. There are others online complaining of the exact same issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was serviced by the dealer in 2016, for a recall repair for the mass airflow sensor however, the failure recurred. The contact had her nephew replace the mass airflow sensor on three separate occasions. The mass airflow sensor was also replaced once by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that recall repair was only performed one time free of charge. The failure mileage was 108,000.

I was backing out of a parking spot and the rear control arm on the drivers side snapped leaving the vehicle inoperable due to safety concerns. I contacted the dealership to order the part for repair and was informed there was a service bulletin for this repair that I was not made aware of.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while at a stop sign, the vehicle began to hesitate and jerk upon the depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The contact also stated that an abnormal whining sound would emit from the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure persisted until she started driving above 40 MPH. The contact called an independent mechanic who informed her that the failure appeared to be related to the transmission. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

My Occupant Classification System is not functioning correctly. There is a voluntary campaign related to this issue (Campaign ID: PC214, NHTSA# 13V-069) that covers 2013 Nissan Altima but for some reason my VIN is not covered under this. However the recall campaign is for the exact problem I am having. I want my VIN to be included in this campaign.

I was driving in the highway with my 1year and 3 month old children and the rear control arm gave out causing my to swerve almost loosing control.

Headlight assemblies have developed film on inside surfaces, causing the headlights on low beam to be extremely dim, significantly reducing normal night vision to a dangerously low level. Low beam light output is less than that of the fog lights!! Only driving with high beams resolves the issue. Will not drive the vehicle at night! Have discussed with dealership and was told it is a KNOWN problem on 2013-2016 Altima and Maxima vehicles. That was within the past six months. Was told that only resolution would be to replace the headlight assemblies at an estimated cost of at least $450/headlight. Recently spoke to Dealership manager regarding the issue. Available for inspection. Not inspected by manufacturer / police / insurance reps. No warning lamps, messages, etc. First appeared within the past year. Case number 44352662 issued today @ ~ 12 noon. Awaiting response back from Nissan Customer Affairs supervisor, but not expecting call back until tomorrow.

According to documents that Nissan has filed with the NHTSA, there are several factors that owners should consider related to the recall. Firstly, if the ODS system malfunctions, the passenger airbag will permanently suppress regardless of the occupant’s weight. If the system does malfunction, the (red) supplemental airbag warning light (SRS Light) will illuminate to alert the driver of the problem. Additionally, the (amber) front passenger airbag status light will illuminate to alert the front seat passenger. In December 2012, Nissan first became aware of the airbag defect due to an increasing amount of warranty claims regarding the SRS Light and/or the passenger airbag status light on 2013 Nissan Altima models. The automaker eventually linked the ODS system problem to a supplier (Tier 2 to Panasonic) problem. Evidently, its supplier had made changes to the sensor, which affected its performance. On February 21, Nissan determined that a recall was necessary after a two-month probe. Our vehicle was serviced in 2015 for this recall. Subsequently, we have had problems with the passenger airbag continuing to stay on. When trying to get an inspection it always has trouble because of this light. We have been told by Nissan it is not "their problem" however there are thousands of similar complaints. Nissan is refusing to remedy the situation that is a danger to vehicle owners and others on the road. Nissan needs to be held accountable for this known defect and error that can be a g

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that there was almost no visibility when the headlights were turned on at night since the headlight reflectors were dim. The headlights failure almost caused a collision on several separate occasions. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that he needed to pay for the diagnosis and repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,867.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving out of the driveway, she heard an abnormal sound coming from underneath the vehicle. The contact stated upon checking the vehicle, she noticed that the driver’s side rear wheel was turned inward and that the control arm had detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the control arm was fractured, and the failure was related to an unknown recall. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed that the vehicle could not be repaired under the unknown recall as the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the manufactured date of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.

The original transmission on this car failed and I had it replaced at a Nissan Dealership. In less than two years, the new transmission also failed. I was driving on the highway and transmission gave up and the vehicle would not accelerate putting my Life and others' life in danger/unsafe. I contacted Nissan consumer/customer service and the case manager was not helpful and literally, stonewalled my concerns. Gross negligence by Nissan about the vehicle owners and their safety. The Nissan Altima cars that were manufactured between 2013-2015 are pure LEMONS.

I’ve had numerous vehicles of varying models and types. My vehicle only has 115k miles and the front control arms are gone. Live near beaches so due to salt and corrosion etc. This should not happen

Car stalled on highway in 1st lane. Car jerking, stalling, not starting. Found recall on cvt transmissions on car. Nissan consumer affairs refuse to honor recall. States recall closed. Car not drivable. Being fixed at Firestone repair. Begged Nissan consumer affairs because of my safety to please fix. Spoke with 2 managers who would not honor closed past campaign!!! Told them I am a 60 yr old woman now to scarred to drive car. Had no choice but to have it fixed which I cannot afford.

Headlights on the dim projector failed internally where you can't see at night on dim setting. Several forums online with same complaint.

Rear right control arm broke away from the frame. My mechanic said this was due to corrosion due to salt. The Nissan dealer said a selective “ service campaign was conducted but was only for certain VIN’s in certain states. I live in one of those states but was told corrective action had to do with the original delivery destination for the car but not the final delivery location ( Medina, OH). I’ve read the same issues have occurred over and over but Nissan refuses to acknowledge it is widespread. The say it has only affected .003 % of cars. This number is low because most people don’t know they have an issue until it’s too late. At a minimum an inspection needs to be performed on all 2013 Altima’s to determine if there is an issue.

Both headlight low beams are dangerously dim even after replacing the bulbs. Its not possible to see at night while driving unless using high beams to see. Took the vehicle to the dealership afterwards and it was determined the materials in the headlight assembly have deteriorated in both assemblies.

Supplemental air bag warning light stays on. Dealer had reset it once but it came back on. According to the manual, "If this light is on, it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag systems and/or pretensioner systems will not operate in an accident."

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V315000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer had been notified of the recall however, the contact was informed repeatedly that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer had not been notified of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Headlights are very dim at night on low beam, I have to drive with my high beams because I can't see the road or signs or cars , I have almost gotten into accidents because of this, I have taken it to the dealer and they will not replace them , I contacted Nissan North America Consumer Affairs and they won't replace them they say that I'm outside my manufacturers warranty I told them that I understand that but the problem with the headlights is a manufacturers defect , I took the car to a mechanic and he told me to look on YouTube that there are other Nissan Altima owners with the same problem, so I looked it up and he was correct there are videos of mechanics that found the reason the lights are so dim , you basically have to break the housing of the light to see the problem and it is a manufacturers defect so they should be responsible for that the proof is there in the videos I should not have to buy two new headlights because the problem is there's . This has been going on for some years and I was going to give up but I wanted to find out way at night I can't see driving it is frustrating I'm 61 years old and this is not the only car I've owned. This has been going on since 2019

I went to recall for Altima hood latch no repair, alt rge cvt p0766 ntb16-121, max alt rg mur ocs ntb16-052 and altima hood latch ntb16-011. There were no safety issues with vehicle operation before the recall. The KatyNissan called me on June 7th to notify me that they fried the components during the computer diagnosis. The KatyNissan told me that they will charge Nissan USA for it. I went to the KatyNissan to pick up my car on June 8th, the transmission and i-key warning lights appeared on the head-up display. I called the person in charge and said, "Why is this happening?" He asked me to pay $100 to re-synchronize the car keys because he reprogramed the car computer due to the fry up, and the car jerks violently when shifting the gear. After the pickup, I got a new state registration tag and went back home. MIL warning sign appeared on the head-up display. On the next day morning on June 9th, I brought my car to the dealer for repair. The KatyNissan explained this situation to Nissan USA and Nissan USA stated that they are not responsible for the fry-up during the computer system diagnosis so the KatyNissan and I should split up the expenses in 50:50. I believe this statement is unreasonable, the dealer should take full responsibility.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving at 45 mph, approaching a stop light the vehicle began to jerk back and forth, the contact was able to stop the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to the right side of a merging lane to avoid oncoming traffic. The contact had the vehicle towed to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the failure with the transmission and it would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately mileage 153,000.

1. The vehicle component that failed was the transmission. The manner in which it failed was total, rendering the vehicle unable to move under its own power. This failure occurred while moving in traffic on a heavily trafficked divided highway. 2. The driver and other occupant of the vehicle were put at great personal risk by being in a disabled vehicle amidst surrounding traffic moving at 40-60 MPH. Occupants of an additional vehicle that stopped behind the disabled vehicle were also put at great personal risk for the same reason. Law enforcement officers who arrived to assist were required to block multiple lanes of oncoming traffic with their duty vehicles. These law enforcement officers were further put at risk by having to push the disabled vehicle 100+ yards through traffic at the aforementioned speeds before it could be safely moved off the roadway. Passing motorists were at great risk of colliding with the disabled vehicle throughout the incident. The total duration of the disabled vehicle being stuck in traffic as described was in excess of 15 minutes. Due to luck and the actions of law enforcement officers, no injuries or fatalities resulted. 3. This mechanical failure has been diagnosed by both independent and manufacturer certified dealer repair shops. 4.T he vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturers authorized service representative, the dealer. Law enforcement officers assisted in recovering the vehicle and confirmed it was disabled. Insurance representati

Noticed that my 2013 Nissan Altima headlights are very dim. Researched on the internet and quickly realized this is an issue with many 2013-2018 Altimas and that the reflective material in the assembly breaks down over time. This is a serious safety issue and Nissan does not have a recall and they definitely should be forced to recall cars with this issue before it's too late. Very serious safety issue in my opinion.

My 2013 Nissan Altima 4 door sedan hood is flapping on my car. If I go a certain speed limit the windshield will come up and hit my front window. Very unsafe and very dangerous for me and my 1 year old daughter. Thanks.

Both the driver and passenger side seat sensors do not detect when a person is in the seat, causing the air bags to remain off when vehicle is occupied. This is a common issue with the 2013 Altima, but Nissan has not issued a recall to have the seat sensors repaired.

My vehicle Altima 2.5 S Nissan 2013, I only drove to work very only 67k miles but lately the gear shifter stuck every time I started, I had to stick a key or screw driver into the shrift lock to make it released it, very dangerous to drive with gear shifter stuck all the time... never happened to me with most cars I bought.. this gear shifter stuck supposed to recall back to fix it right for me, this is second car I purchased from Nissan.

My supplemental airbag light is on and I have not been in accident. I know that there was recall for passer side airbag light so I am wondering if there is something going on with driver side air bag.

While I was driving and had stopped at a red light. When the light turned green the vehicle wouldn’t move and instead shut down. It would power normally again, but when the car is shifted into drive, the car shuts down again. This is incredibly dangerous as my car was stopped in the middle of the road during rush hour. I was lucky to not have been hit. There were no warning signs. It happened very suddenly. I took my car to the dealership and they said my car needs a transmission replacement (car is a 2013 and 61k miles). I found out that there was a class action lawsuit that took place in 2020 for the very problem in the make, year and model of my car (CVTs in many 2013-2016 models). Nissan never recalled the transmissions but instead settled for an extended warranty which ended May 2020 for me. Now it is May 2021 and my transmission needs replacing. This problem is not only a part of the class action lawsuit that is already settled, but there are countless accounts of this problem still happening to people. Nissan is failing to take accountability for their faulty transmissions, which is a danger to the public. I’m am asking that NHTSA pressures Nissan to recall all CVTs and to reimburse people for their CVT repair costs.

MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE DETERIORATED TO A POINT NOW THAT DRIVING AT NIGHT IS DANGEROUS AS I CANNOT SEE BEYOND MY FOGLIGHTS (FIRST NOTED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO). I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY, LIGHTBULBS AND HAVE CLEANED THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY COVERS. NOTHING IMPROVES VISIBILITY. I SUSPECT THE ASSEMBLIES HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE COATING IN THE REFLECTOR HOUSING DETERIORATING DUE TO MANUFACTORING DEFECT AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED BY MANY OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS.

SON WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE LOWER LINK ARM BROKE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THOSE IN BOTH CANADA AND US BUT THE DEALERSHIP, DARLINGS, WON'T FIX IT. MY SON COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED HAD HE BEEN DRIVING AT 60 MPH. NISSAN ISN'T STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIXING A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT.

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN THE DOOR, I HEARD AND FELT A CRACK WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO OPEN BY USING THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. IF THIS CAR WAS TOO BE IN AN ACCIDENT THE PASSENGER COULD BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE. THIS HAPPEN WHILE PARKED.

MY SON WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND MADE A TURN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM BROKE IN HALF. THE CAR WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND HE WAS ABLE TO MAKE A STOP ON THE SIDE. LUCKILY, HE DID NOT PASS A ONCOMING VEHICLE AT THE SAME TIME. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO EDMUNDS NISSAN IN COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT I NEED A NEW CONTROL ARM AND THAT THE COST WAS APPROXIMATELY $1200. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW SOME POSTS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM 2013 TO 2018 MODELS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER ADVOCACY AND THE REP STATED THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ORDERED. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT A PROBLEM HAS BEEN MADE AWARE AND THAT A MANUFACTURER WILL NOT GO TO THE NEXT STEPS TO FIX IT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS IF NOT DEADLY ACCIDENT IF MY SON WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR UNDER CONTROL. NISSAN DID ASSIGN A CASE NUMBER 43804399.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA JUST WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVING ON STREET. GOT IT TOWED TO GARAGE, GARAGE SAID CVT DEAD, TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACEMENT, $$$$$, VERY UNHAPPY

THE DIM HEADLAMPS OF MY 2013 ALTIMA HAVE PROGRESSIVELY DIMMED TO AN UNSAFE LEVEL THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE DRIVING PATH AND SURROUNDING AREA. IN MY MANY YEARS OF DRIVING, THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST LIGHTING PROJECTED BY ANY OF MY VEHICLES. THE LIGHTING WAS GREAT WHEN PURCHASED USED IN 2016 BUT OVERTIME IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY DURING RAIN STORM EXCEPT WHEN LIGHTNING LIGHTS THE SKY.. SAFETY RECALL IS JUSTLY NEEDED, ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN?

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE HORRIBLE! I CAN'T SEE WITH THE LOW BEAMS AT ALL AND I NEED TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS AT ALL TIMES IN THE DARK. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE!!! I'M VERY SHOCKED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THESE LIGHTS! I LOVE MY CAR, HOWEVER I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN IF THEY DON'T FIX THIS PROBLEM!

THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED PREMATURELY. THE CAR HAS STALLED CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE AND PULLS ODDLY AT LOW SPEEDS. A BURNING SMELL HAS NOW DEVELOPED AND I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM!! I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON. ONCOMING TRAFFIC NEVER FLASHES THEIR LIGHTS AT ME, SO THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS MUST BE DIM, ALSO. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM, THAT CARS BEHIND ME AT NIGHT, CAST A SHADOW IN FRONT OF MY CAR. MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DON'T EVEN PUT OUT ENOUGH LIGHT TO PREVENT A SHADOW BEING FORMED IN FRONT OF MY CAR!!

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE FOR NIGHT DRIVING AND DANGEROUS. ON A DARK OR SEMI DARK ROAD THERE IS ALMOST NO ROAD VISIBILITY.

REAR CONTROL ARMS BOTH HAVE BROKEN. THERE IS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETING FOR THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL, HOWEVER THE SPECIFIC VIN DOES NOT APPLY ACCORDING TO NISSAN. A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THE VEHICLE UNDER THE CAMPAIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STATE LINE NISSAN (10401 MADISON AVE, KANSAS CITY, MO 64114) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT RELATED THE FAILURE TO AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 133,000. *DT

I OWN A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 108,000 MILES. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. IT WAS PURCHASED IN MISSOURI, HOWEVER, I HAVE LIVED AND DRIVEN THE VEHICLE IN IOWA FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. ON MARCH 28, 2021 THE REAR LOWER LINK CORRODED AND BROKE WHILE DRIVING 55MPH ON HWY 6 IN EASTERN IOWA. NISSAN HAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM IN 22 STATES INCLUDING IOWA, YET THEY REFUSE TO HONOR THIS RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE CLAIMING THAT NHTSA SETS THE PARAMETERS AND SELECTS THE VIN NUMBERS FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND NHTSA SEVERAL TIMES AND CANNOT GET AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL.

REAR, LOWER CONTROL ARM THAT CONNECTS REAR WHEEL TO VEHICLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING, NEARLY CAUSING A CRASH. AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE! (SEE NISSAN'S SERVICE BULLETIN P9324). NISSAN NEED'S TO BE HELP ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS VERY LIKELY, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE ACCELERATION IS HESITANT. WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND GO TO ACCELERATE THERE IS A DELAY IN WHICH THE CAR WON'T MOVE. WHEN DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO SHIFT. THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON A STREET AND HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN CLEARED BY A MECHANIC, HOWEVER, IT CAME BACK ON AND STAYS ON.

THE REAR LOWER SUSPENSION LINK BROKE WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON A WELL MAINTAINED HIGHWAY CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V315000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED AUTONATION TOYOTA TEMPE (7970 S. AUTOPLEX LOOP, TEMPE, AZ 85284, (480) 420-3425) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. MULTIPLE NISSAN VEHICLES OF THIS EXACT MODEL YEAR HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. OVER 500+ COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THE SHIFT LEVER GETTING STUCK IN PARK, AND THE ISSUE IS DUE TO A WEAK PLASTIC BIT THAT BREAKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS WOULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR SOMEONE TRYING TO MOVE THEIR CAR WHEN STUCK IN TRAFFIC AFTER PUTTING IN PARK, ONLY TO REALIZE THEY CAN'T TAKE IT OUT OF PARK. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, TO WHICH QUOTED ME 400$ FOR THE REPAIR COSTS AND THEN LET ME KNOW OF MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CALLED WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS AROUND 75,000 MILES. THIS CAN BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THE NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT OWNERS HAVE HAD WITH THE EXACT MODEL.
