2013 Nissan Altima complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE PARALLEL PARKING, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMALLY LOUD SOUND AND NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR TIRE WAS TILTED INWARD. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE CONTROL ARM NEEDING 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 FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN ENGAGING FOOT BRAKE WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK. HAVE TO USE TOOL IN SHIFT LOCK RELEASE TO MOVE BETWEEN GEARS TO DRIVE CAR. I WAS DRIVING AND WAS STOPPED AT A RAILWAY CROSSING. PUT CAR IN PARK. ONCE TRAIN HAD PASSED I TRIED TO PUT CAR IN DRIVE POSITION AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. AFTER READING MANUAL I DISCOVERED THAT IF A FAULT OCCURS YOU MUST USE A TOOL ON THE SHIFT LOCK BUTTON RELEASE TO MOVE VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS.

DEFECTIVE CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION

HEADLIGHT VISIBILITY IS AWFUL. I KEEP TAKING IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY TELL ME THEY DO NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT AT NIGHT CAUSE MY LIGHTS AS SO DIM IT LOOK LIKE I AM DRIVING WITH MY PARK LIGHTS ON.

CAR STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, BEGAN JERKING AND A SHAKING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THESE PROBLEMS STARTED AROUND 70,000 MILES. RECENTLY MY CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE OUT OF A SUBDIVISION THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALSO THE TRACTION LIGHT. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE SO I SAFELY PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE I LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO AUTOZONE NEARBY WHERE THE SCANNER READ A CODE FOR A STUCK SOLENOID. AFTER TAKING IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO WORK ON RECALLS RELATED TO MY VEHICLE (INCLUDING A CVT REPROGRAMMING),THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT WHEN MECHANIC TRIED PULLING IT INTO SHOP. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE AND CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. THEY QUOTED ME $4200 TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT SEEMS TO BE FAULTY IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOUR CUSTOMERS NEED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN THE ONLY SOLUTION. I'LL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN AND WILL BE AVOIDING CVT TRANSMISSIONS IF POSSIBLE.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE DIMMED PROGRESSIVELY OVER TIME TO THE POINT THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT & HAVE TO END UP USING HIGH BEAMS TO GET SOME VISIBILITY

WHEN PUSHING THE GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE STREETS IT FEELS LIKE THE POWER OF THE CAR IS HOLDING BACK. FEELS LIKE THE GEARS ARE MESSING UP. AND THERE'S PROBLEM WITH CATALYST CONVERTER. IT'S ALWAYS SHOWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVEN AFTER I HAVE TRIED OTHER SOLUTIONS ON FIXING THAT AND THE GAS ODOMETER IS NOT READING THE GAS LEVELS RIGHT EITHER. PLUS THE PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLE IS STUCK AND DOESN'T LATCH TO THE SEAT BELT FOR A HOLD FROM A CAR ACCIDENT. LIKE YOU HAVE TO REALLY PUSH HARD FOR THE SEAT BELT TO HOLD ON.

AFTER GETTING A WHEEL ALIGNMENT I WAS TOLD THEY (AMERICAS TIRES) COULDNT GET THE SPECS SPOT ON IN THE REAR DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THEY WERE HAVING WITH THEIR SYSTEM I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I NORMALLY DO. AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS I HAD NOTICE MY REAR TIRE TREAD WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DEPLETING THUS MAKING ME BUY NEW TIRES AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME. I WENT BACK TO AMERICAS TIRES FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT AND WITH THEIR SYSTEM UP AND RUNNING PROPERLY I WAS TOLD THAT MY REAR CONTROL ARM WAS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS BEING ONLY A MONTH SFTER I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HAD SUPPOSEDLY FIXED A RECALL DEALING WITH REAR SUSPENSION. TO THIS DAY MY CAR MAKES A SKIDDING/SCREECHING SOUND WHEN IM ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSES IT TO EAT UP MY TIRES YET AGAIN, IVE ALREADY HAD A BLOWOUT HAPPEN AS WELL ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE WHERE I WAS TOLD THE CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND I CAN FEEL MY CAR PULL SIDE TO SIDE WHEN REACHING FREEWAY SPEED LIMITS AND FEELS VERY UNSAFE.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS AS CAN BE SEEN BY THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. THE NHTSA SHOULD HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR CONTROL ARM FRACTURED AFTER DRIVING OVER A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER MIKE BARNEY NISSAN LOCATED AT 3676 SHERIDAN DR, AMHERST, NY 14226 WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO CORROSION AND RUSTING. THE CONTROL ARM WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.*DT*JB

ON APRIL 2018, I VISIT THE NISSAN DEL OESTE AT AGUADILLA PR TO REPORT NOISE IN THE POWER STEERING NOISE, NO ACTION WAS TAKEN, THEY JUST SAID THAT WAS NORMAL WITH ALL NISSAN POWER STEERING PUMP. FEBRUARY 25, 2021 I CONTACT NISSAN DEL OESTE AT AGUADILLA PR AND NOTIFY ABOUT THE ISSUE OF THE POWER STEERING NOISE AND TRANSMISSION NOISE. APPOINTMENT FOR MARCH 2 2021 WAS SET AND I NOTIFY THEM WITH PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOT ANY RECALL FOR POWER STEERING PUMP AND CVT TRANSMISSION. I DID MENTION THE RECALLS FOR 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IAW NHTSA WITH REF.: ST12-009B, REF:NTBB-0176 ANDTSB NTB12-081. THEY INFORM AT THE VOUCHER THE MILEAGE IN AND OUT, THEY DID NOT TOOK THE CAR FOR A RUN OF 6 MILES LIKE IT SAYS ON VOUCHER 48133S. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT THE CAR COULD HAVE ANY SITUATION WITH ONE OF THOSE PARTS JUST MENTIONED DURING A DRIVE AND CAUSE ANY ACCIDENT WITH OUT HAVING THE CONTROL. MY QUESTION IS, IF THERE IS A MALFUNCTION FOR MY 2013 ALTIMA THAT IS ALREADY KNOWLEDGE BY NISSAN MOTOR COMP. AND PROVIDE RECALLS WHY MY HAVE TO BE EXCLUDE? THE POWER STEERING NOISE IS AT EVERY MOMENT WHEN ON AND RUNNING, POWER STEERING FLUID IS GOOD. THE TRANSMMISION IS DURING THE DRIVING WITH SOME NOISE AFTER 20 MILES DRIVE ON HIGHWAY BETWEEN 65 TO 70 MPH AND THEN PRESSING THE BRAKE, THE NOISE FEEL LIKE IT COME FROM THE TRANSMMISION. ANOTHER SITUATION IS OCACCIONALY SOME LOWT OF POWER AND SOME TIMES ACCELERATE. BRAKES PADS ARE GOOD, BRAKE FLUID IS GOOD. MY CAR MPG IS 31.2 AND MILEAGE AT THIS MOMENT

LOW BEAMS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT, I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE, WHICH IN COMMON SENSE MAKES IT REALLY DANGEROUS FOR ME AS WELL THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD BY ME USING THE HIGH BEAMS, I BEEN LOOKING AROUND TO THE PROBLEM, AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS IS WHERE THE LOW BEAM SITS ( THE SOCKET ), OVER TIME IT GETS BURNT AND IT JUST DESTROY THE WHOLE REFLECTION OF THE HALOGEN BULB, I PLACED AN IMAGE SO YOU ALL CAN CHECK IT.

THE LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS ON THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA PROVIDE ALMOST NO ILLUMINATION OF THE ROAD AHEAD AT NIGHT. SERIOUSLY, TURNING THEM OFF OR ON, IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I HAD ONE HEADLAMP REPLACED, BUT THAT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE LITERALLY FLASH THEIR HIGH-BEAMS AT US AT NIGHT BECAUSE THEY THINK WE ARE DRIVING WITH OUR HEADLIGHTS OFF. THIS IS NOT A SUBTLE PROBLEM, BUT RATHER AN EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN. SEE FOR EXAMPLE, HTTP://WWW.NISSANPROBLEMS.COM/ALTIMA-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS/ : "THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN THE 5TH GENERATION ALTIMA ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL INSIDE THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS CAN WEAR DOWN, DRASTICALLY REDUCING THE BEAM'S POWER. IN DECEMBER OF 2018 THIS PROBLEM RANKED 10TH IN CARCOMPLAINTS.COM TOP PROBLEM TRENDS LIST." YET NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS DREADFUL SAFETY HAZARD, AS OF MARCH 2021. (JUST CHECKED NISSAN'S VEHICLE RECALL SITE, 3/15/2021). REPORTEDLY, ATTORNEYS CHIMICLES & TIKELLIS ARE INVESTIGATING A POTENTIAL CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE AUTOMAKER. THIS WILL NOT BE OF MUCH SOLACE IF MY DAUGHTER HAS A CAR CRASH OR HITS A PEDESTRIAN BECAUSE SHE CAN'T SEE AHEAD OF HER WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE--NOW!

I PURCHASE MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 1 MONTH AGO WELL WHEN I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN I HIT THE GAS IT DID NOTHING HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD WENT OUT AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A LOT OF RECALLS ON 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA TRANSMISSIONS THE WARRANTY WILL COVER UP TO 100,000 MILES I ONLY HAVE 100000 MILES ON NET AT THE MOMENT WHEN IT WENT OUT THE SHOP IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME $3,500 TO FIX IT WELL ACTUALLY THEY WANTED $4,100 OUT THE DOOR BUT I EXPLAINED TO THEM I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 1 MINUTE AND JUST PAID $4,000 CASH TO PURCHASE THE CAR THEY FELT BAD AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD DO THE JOB FOR 3500 SINCE IT'S A RECALL FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO I SUBMIT A CLAIM SO I CAN GET HELP IN TRYING TO FIX THIS CAR I DON'T HAVE $3,500 TO GIVE THESE PEOPLE WHEN I JUST SPENT $4,000 BUYING THE CAR CAN I GET SOME HELP PLEASE I WAS DRIVING ON 95 ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEED BROKE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 20 MILES PER HOUR I PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CUT THE CAR OFF CRANK IT BACK UP IT WILL NOT GO AND DRIVE OR REVERSE I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ALSO THE CONVERTER BUT MOSTLY THE CVT TRANSMISSION

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT IS VERY LOW AND UNABLE TO SEE . CHANGED MANY BULBS AND STILL SAME .

THE LOW BEAMS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE EXTREMELY UNSAFE. IF THERE WAS TO BE A CHILD OR AN ANIMAL DARTING IN FRONT OF ME, THEY WOULD BE DONE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I REPLACED BULBS BUT IT DIDNT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

MY LOW BEAMS ON MY HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY LOW AT NIGHT I CAN BARELY SEE A FOOT AHEAD WHETHER DRIVING ARE PARKED.

THE CAR STARTS JERKING WHEN GETTING UP TO SPEED IF YOU ACCELERATE SLOWLY.

WHEN I GET TO 60 MPH OR ABOVE I GET A TERRIBLE SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND FEELS LIKE THE WHEEL ARE SHAKING. DOES NOT FEEL SAFE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA ON I95 AT 60 MPH IN CONNECTICUT THE RIGHT LOWER REAR CONTROL ARM BROKE AND SENT THE CAR SWERVING TO THE RIGHT. THERE WAS A LOT OF CORROSION ON THE CONTROL ARM. THE OTHER CONTROL ARM WAS CRACKED AND DAMAGED THE FRAME. OVERALL COST TO REPAIR INCLUDING NEW TIRE AND ALIGNMENT OVER $2,000.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE DECREASED IN BRIGHTNESS AFTER APPROX CAR BEING 4-5 YEARS OLD & TODAY ARE PRACTICALLY NON EXISTENT. DEC 2019 I HAD TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED WITH A HALOGEN SET OF LIGHTS BECAUSE NEW HEADLIGHT BULB DID NOTHING TO INCREASE VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. I'VE HAD TO RUN HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM & FOG LIGHTS FOR A FEW YEARS TO HAVE VERY LOW VISIBILITY. AT THIS TIME THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VIRTUALLY NON EXISTENT EXCEPT WHEN RUNNING ON HIGH BEAMS WHICH IS CAUSING A GREAT DANGER TO ME, MY HUSBAND & OTHER DRIVERS ON ROAD. NISSAN HAS STATED THEY'RE INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS & DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY DUE TO CAR BEING IN WARRANTY OR RECALL ISSUED.

A FEW MONTHS BACK I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE AIRBAG RECALL FIXED. FLASH FORWARD A FEW MONTHS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON. IF SOMEBODY SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE LIGHT GOES OFF. THE NISSAN DEALER IS SAYING THE OCS SENSOR SOMETIMES GO BAD AND QUOTES $400-$1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS KEPT CLEAN SO THERE IS NO CHANCE THAT AN ITEM EFFECTED THE OCS SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT WHEN THE SEAT WAS MOVED. BUT THE MORE I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE THE MORE SUSPICIOUS THIS SEEMS. HOW DO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...AND HOW MAMY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT CANT OR DONT KNOW HOW TO REPORT IT.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE HOOD FLEW UP AND BUSTED THE WINDSHELD.

HAVING ISSUE WITH LOW BEAN LIGHTS. I CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXABLE. THIS WILL BE MY THIRD HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. NISSAN IS NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVER AT NIGHT UNLESS I TURN ON MY HIGH BEAMS.

THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE LOWER STABILIZATION BAR BROKE WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN NORMAL CONDITIONS AT ABOUT 30 MPH. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE LOWER STABILIZATION BAR IS CRACKED BUT STILL HOLDING ON. THE CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE DUE TO MANUFACTURE DEFECTS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (IN SUBURBS) WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I STARTED NOTICING A LITTLE STUTTER WHEN I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN AND STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WHENEVER MY CAR NEEDS TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP (BETWEEN 5-40 MPH) OR SLOW DOWN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I AM WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY. I WENT TO A MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY ONCE I NOTICED THE STUTTER AND SMALL JERKS. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON SO WHEN I DESCRIBED THIS TO HIM HE SAID HE HAD TO DO AN IN DEPTH READ OF MY TRANSMISSION. HE ENDED UP FINDING A CODE IN MY TRANSMISSION THAT HAD PICKED UP ON THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING / STUTTERING.

P17F0 IS THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE THAT I RECEIVED AFTER TAKING MY 2013 ALTIMA SV 2.5 TO A MECHANIC DUE TO LOSS OF POWER, HORRIBLE GAS MILAGE AND A HEAVY VIBRATION/RUMBLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SON WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALL STAR NISSAN (27700 JUBAN RD, SUITE A, DENHAM SPRING, LA 70726) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,113.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY NEW YORK RTE 104 WEST IN WEBSTER NY AT 60MPH. THE HOOD LIFTED AND SLAMMED THE ROOF OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO SEE BETWEEN THE DASH AND JUST UNDER THE HOOD AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO RE-LATCH THE HOOD AND RETURN HOME. THE IMAGE ATTACHED IS THE FRAME FROM MY DASHCAM. YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE VIDEO HERE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/C7ZUW9ZE-Z0

THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED AT THE PIVOT POINT NEAR THE FRAME.WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AND SEE IF THERE WAS ANY OBVIOUS PROBLEMS, I WENT FOR A SHORT TEST DRIVE ON A STATE ROUTE. THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON. I SOPPED TO TURN AROUND AND HEAD BACK TOWARDS THE HIGHWAY AND THE CONTROL ARM BROKE COMPLETELY.

THE DIM LIGHTS ARE SO VERY DIM THAT IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHILE THE LIGHTS ARE ON DIM. THE BRIGHTS WORKS FINE. IT'S SEEMS THE ACTUAL LIGHT ITSELF WORKS FINE BUT THE SURROUND UNIT/CASING/PART THAT HOUSES THE DIM LIGHT HAS A TENDENCY TO TO WEAR OFF AND NOT REFLECT THE LIGHTS AS IT SHOULD. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE DIM LIGHTING. CHANGING BULB WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DIM LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. I DID PUT THE INCIDENT DATE AS 02/19/2021 BUT IS BEEN ONGOING AND DETERIORATING. IT MUCH MORE APPARENT ON DARK HIGHWAYS AS OPPOSE TO BRIGHTLY LIT CITY STREETS. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE HEAD LAMP UNIT FOR AROUND $1000. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS AN ISSUES WITH 2013-2015ISH NISSAN ALTIMAS. SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT'S SUCH A HAZARD THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. REPLACING THE ENTIRE HEAD LAMP WITH A HEAD LIGHT WITH THE SAME ISSUES SEEMS TO BE A WASTE OF CONSUMER MONEY. FURTHER, IF NISSAN IMPROVED THE HEAD LAMP, THEN THEY KNOW THERE'S AN ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THE DIM LIGHT HAZARD.

REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES DUE TO DETERIORATION OF REFLECTORS. COMMON FAILURE ON THIS MODEL. NO NISSAN RECALL. SAFETY ISSUE WITH FAULTY LIGHTS. SINCE REPLACING BOTH ASSEMBLIES, HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A BULB TWICE. GOING TO THE DEALER AGAIN BECAUSE OF LIGHT FAILURE.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IN 2015. INITIALLY THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FINE AND SEEMED COMPARABLE WITH MY PREVIOUS ALTIMA IT WAS A 2010. OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST FOUR YEARS THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THAT THEY NO LONGER PROJECT TO THE ROAD. I HAVE REPLACE THE BULBS AND SPENT AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT OF MONEY INVESTING IN HIGH INTENSITY BULBS, WITH NO CHANGE. I WOULD BE BETTER OFF TAPING FLASHLIGHTS TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR, THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THE EVENING. I SEE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THIS AS A RECALL HOWEVER THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AFTER 4 PM UNTIL AT LEAST 7 AM.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS VERY DIM. CHANGED OUT HALOGEN BULBS TO LED BULBS AND THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE. INTERNET SEARCH RESULTS ARE THE REFLECTIVE MASTERIAL IN THE PROJECTORS IS WORN OFF. COME TO FIND OUT FROM MANY ONLINE FORUMS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE FOR THE SAFETY OF THERE CUSTOMERS!!

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT OUTPUT IS SO TERRIBLE I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS AT DUSK OR NIGHT IN ORDER TO SEE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY! I RAN INTO A POTHOLE RUINING MY TIRE AND RIM BECAUSE I COULD THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH LIGHT OUTPUT FOR ME TO SEE

TRANSMISSION ON NISSAN ARE EASILY DAMAGED MY CAR START BUT DONT DRIVE I JUST PAID MY CAR OFF IN STARTING TO HAVE PROBLEMS

THE CAR WAS BUZZING UNDER THE HOOD, LEFT-SIDED, WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN A USED CONDITION. THIS BUZZING SOUND APPEAR WHEN IT IS AROUND 1.75 RPM. THE BUZZING GOT WORSENED RECENTLY AND ESCALATED TO A MECHANICAL GRINDING SOUND. THE GRINDING SOUNDED LIKE METAL PIECES COLLIDING ON EACH OTHER AND WAS SO LOUD THAT THE PEOPLE ON THE ENTIRE STREET COULD HEAR. IT WAS THE WORST (MOST FREQUENT) WHEN THE CAR STARTED UP COLD OR IN ANY GEARS FOR DRIVING (R, D, DS). WHEN THE CAR WAS AT P OR N, THE SOUND DIDN'T COME ON AS OFTEN. EVEN AFTER WARMING UP THE CAR, THE SOUND WAS THERE AT 1.5-1.75 RPM, NO MATTER AT WHAT SPEED. AS LONG AS IT REACHED THAT RANGE OF RPM, THE SOUND ACCOMPANIED. I AM AFRAID THIS COSTLY PROBLEM (~$4000 TO REPLACE CVT TRANSMISSION) WILL CONTINUE TO WORSEN AND STOP WORKING OR BURN AT SOME POINT WHILE DRIVING, LEADING TO A SAFETY CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, SHE WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER HERITAGE NISSAN (1500 VETERANS MEMORIAL HWY NE, ROME, GA 30161, (706) 291-1981) AND MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 112,000.*DT DEALERSHIP TOLD THE CONSUMER THE REFLECTOR AND THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT BE REPLACED.*JB

THE LOWER LINK OF THE LEVER ARM FOR THE REAR RIGHT SUSPENSION BROKE OFF. THIS MADE THE REAR END OF MY VEHICLE TO WANT TO SHIFT LATERALLY WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 35MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN ON A COUNTRY ROAD AND NOTICED THE EXTRA MOTION WHILE TURNING AT A BEND IN THE ROAD. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY CAR MODEL DID NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PART, HOWEVER OTHER NISSAN ALTIMA'S WERE RE-CALLED FOR THIS SIMILAR ISSUE. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME TO REPLACE THE OTHER SIDE AS WELL BECAUSE THE RUST HAD CORRODED IT AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE HOOD SPONTANEOUSLY OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED WOODFIELD NISSAN (700 W HIGGINS RD, HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL 60169, (847)310-1900) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT STATED FAILURE WAS SIMILAR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V029000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SIMPLY DO NOT WORK. I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME AT FIRST THEN REALIZED THAT THIS IS A NATIONAL AND RECOGNIZED PROBLEM WITHIN THE NISSAN WORLD. USING THE HIGH BEAM IN PLACE OF THE LOW BEAM DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY ARE NOT TRUE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS EITHER. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. NEW LIGHT BULBS DONT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. WHY DONI HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO FIX A NISSAN PROBLEM.

RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE THEN REALIZED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE PROPERLY

THE LOW BEAMS LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD. EVEN WHEN THE BULBS ARE REPLACED. THIS IS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN AT NIGHT. INTERSTATE DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS IS VERY DANGEROUS

PURCHASED A NEW 2013 ALITIMA ALMOST 8 YEARS AGO. ON JAN 17, 2021, AS I WAS DRIVING, OTHERS WERE HONKING THEIR HORNS AND AS I TURNED INTO A DIM STREET, I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE AHEAD OF ME. VERY SCARY AS I COULD HAVE HIT NEIGHBORS WHO ARE WALKING IN THE EVENING AFTER DARK. NO LONGER COMFORTABLE DRIVING AT NIGHT. DEALER SAID ALTHOUGH I PURCHASED THE GOLD PREFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY, THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. I OPENED A CASE AT NISSAN CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND THEY SAID SORRY BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THE WARRANTY WON'T COVER IT. $1305.63 IS WAY TOO MUCH THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A SAFETY ISSUE.

MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK.(SPEEDOMETER, GAS LEVEL, MILAGE, HOT/COLD LEVEL, ETC.) MY STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DO NOT WORK (VOLUME BUTTON, MENU BUTTON, SOURCE BUTTON,CRUISE CONTROL, ETC.) MY AIR CONDITION/HEAT TEMPERATURE DISPLAY DOES NOT LIGHT UP. ALL THE FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND THEY ARE ALL GOOD. THE CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY HAD BEEN CHECKED AND THEY ARE GOOD.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS. I FOUND OUT TODAY

HI, I AM AN OWNER OF A NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 S VEHICLE. RECENTLY I NOTICED THAT AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED WITH B0028-13 AND SAID IT WAS A PAST CODE AND CLEARED THE CODE. IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AFTER A MONTH. I AGAIN DIAGNOSED AND THE SAME CODE AND SHOWING A PAST CODE. DEALER COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT NEEDS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SEAT, WHICH WILL COST 1800 DOLLARS. THEY SAID THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. AND I NOTICED ONE THING, AFTER CODE IS GETTING CLEARED, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT DOESN'T COME ALL OF A SUDDENLY, ALTHOUGH IT HAS SOME PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER OCCUPANCY TOO, AS SOMETIME EVEN IF AN ADULT SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, PASSENGER AIRBAG STAYS OFF. WHICH IS VERY RISKY WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN HAS NO ANSWER TO THAT. AND RIGHT AFTER THAT, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES BACK. I AM A STUDENT AND DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH OF MONEY TO GET THIS COSTLY REPAIR ( SEAT REPLACEMENT) DONE AND IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS MATTER.

AFTER WORK ON 1/16/2021, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE THRUWAY, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS ON THE ICE, HOWEVER, THERE WAS NONE ON THE ROAD. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING OF MY CAR, THE BACK END WAS SLIDING AND THE STIRRING WHEEL WAS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT BUT THE FRONT PART OF THE CAR WAS NOT TURNING. I COULD NOT PULL OVER DUE TO BEING ON A BRIDGE AND NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I DID LET OFF THE GAS AND COST DOWNHILL THE BEST I COULD, LUCKILY THE CAR DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS FROZEN WITH FEAR, THE STATE POLICE CAME AND WE CALL A TOW TRUCK. WHEN MY CAR WAS ON THE BED OF THE TRUCK THE DRIVER POINTED TO THE BACK OF THE CAR SAID " WOW IT SNAPED". HE THEN EXPLAINED TO ME THE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN. LATER THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. AS OF 1/20/2021,XD THE CAR IS BEING WORKED ON AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY UPDATE TO WHAT HAS HAPPEND ASSIDE FROM THE SNAPPED REAR CONTROL ARM.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN TOWN. I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG COMING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE WAS BENT INWARD. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM HAD SNAPPED IN HALF AND WAS HANGING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IMMEDIATELY. A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND THE VEHICLE TRANSPORTED TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR SERVICE.

I COULD NOT SHIFT THE GEAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION.
