2013 Nissan Altima complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED WITH A LOUD SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DRIVE WHILE IN THE REVERSE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOODHOUSE NISSAN (7801 NEBRASKA DR, BELLEVUE, NE 68005) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE AND THAT THE TURBULENCE WAS PROBABLY FROM ICE ON THE ROAD. TWO DAYS LATER HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. HER DAUGHTER DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HER SISTER'S HOUSE AND UPON INSPECTION, SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE WAS TURNED INWARDS TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER HAD A FRIEND INSPECT THE VEHICLE WHO DISCOVERED MAJOR CORROSION ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR CONTROL ARM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHO THEN DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE REAR CONTROL ARM AND ECCENTRIC BOLTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HER THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WITHOUT MY BRIGHTS TURNED ON. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ME THAT I AM ONE OF MANY EXPERIENCING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMPS ON THE VEHICLE FAILED TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZZARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN NORTH (8645 N. HIGH ST, COLUMBUS, OH 43235, (614)846-8100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND BECAME WORSE OVER TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

WHILE DRIVING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON THERE IS VERY LOW VISIBILITY, IT ALMOST APPEARS THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT ON AT ALL. WHEN SWITCHING TO THE HIGH BEAMS THEY APPEAR TO NOT BE AS BRIGHT AS NORMAL EITHER. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT I FEAR COULD LEAD TO A COLLISION DUE TO VERY LOW VISIBILITY.

HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO FUN LOOKS AS IF THEY ARE NOT ON, AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON EVEN WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT, BOTH AIR BAG LIGHTS ON DASK AND IN CONSOLE. DOESN'T MATTER IF CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT COMPLETELY DANGEROUS

THE LOW BEAMS HAVE ARE HORRIBLE. VISIBILITY IS LESS THAN 100 FEET. BRIGHTS NEED TO BE USED CREATING AN EVEN MORE HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

THE HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A KNOWN ISSUE AND NEED TO BE RECALLED ON THE ALTIMA AND THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT. WHY HAD THIS NOT BEEN DONE? IT'S VERY UNSAFE. I JUST GOT THE ALTIMA AND IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN LIGHTS ARE NEEDED.

THE DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE BARELY VISIBLE. PROVIDES ALMOST ZERO LIGHT ON THE ROAD. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME. HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS NUMEROUS TIMES AND RECENTLY LEARNED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 2013-2015 MODELS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH LIGHTS THAT DO NOTHING.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA ARE SO DIM THAT I CANNOT DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. NOT ONLY ARE THE LOW BEAMS EXTREMELY DIM, THEY DO NOT PROJECT FAR DOWN THE ROAD AT ALL OR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEY ONLY SEEM TO PROJECT IN A SMALL AREA DOWN ON THE ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME THUS CAUSING HUGE VISIBILITY PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO SCAN/SEE WHAT IS COMING UP IN FRONT OF ME. IT IS A HUGE DANGER FOR NIGHT DRIVING IF YOU CANNOT SEE WITH YOUR HEADLIGHTS ON!

THE HEADLIGHTS AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS ARE EXTREEMELY DIM ON THIS VEHICLE. SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY HOOD FLEW OPEN AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD VERY HARD. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE DUE TO HOOD FLYING UP AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. IT DAMAGED MY SIDE FENDERS DUE TO IMPACT. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20MPH ON A SIDE ROAD IN GAHANNA OH. IT HAPPENED ON 12/28/2020. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF OPEN RECALLS VIA MAIL NOR EMAIL. I AM HIGHLY UPSET AT THE FACT IT COULD HAVE HARMED ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS QUICKLY DETERIORATED WITHIN 1 YEAR AND NO LONGER ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY AT NIGHT. UNSAFE TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT USING LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT USING THESE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I REPLACED ALL FOUR HEADLIGHT BULBS, LOW AND HIGH BEAM, AND THIS DID NOT MAKE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN LOW BEAM ILLUMINATION. THE PROBLEM IS IN THE HEADLIGHT ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY (PROJECTOR/REFLECTOR ISSUE) WHICH MUST BE REPLACED WITH NEW AT A COST IN EXCESS OF $1,000 BECAUSE IT REQUIRES REMOVAL OF THE FRONT BUMPER COVER AND PLASTIC SPLASH LINER UNDER BUMPER COVER. THIS COMPLAINT IS FREQUENTLY MENTIONED BY OTHER 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS AND NISSAN HAS TO BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE DUE TO ITS COMMON OCCURRENCE AND FREQUENT COMPLAINTS BY OWNERS.

UNABLE TO SECURELY CLOSE THE HOOD AS PRIMARY LATCH WILL NOT STAY ENGAGED. FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURE ON THE RECALL NOTICE, BUT WHENEVER DRIVING ON A ROAD IMPERFECTION HOOD POPS UP TO SECONDARY POSITION. WE DO NOT TRUST THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH SENSOR CIRCUIT (NOTED IN NISSAN BULLETIN 16-030). MANUFACTURER SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMS LISTED ON DEALER INVOICE STATES SERVICES REGARDING THIS DEFECT WILL BE AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER. HOWEVER, DEALER REFUSES TO HONOR POLICY AND CHARGED FOR SERVICE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED MOVING, TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP. MY REPAIR SHOP COULDN'T FIX IT OR FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR WEEKS WHILE TRYING TO GET IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN WHO HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLES CVT TRANSMISSION AND THEY HAD NEVER SENT OUT A RECALL NOTICE TO ME AND I'VE BEEN THE REGISTER OWNER FOR YEARS.

I BOUGHT CAR ON A SATURDAY MORNING. WENT OUT OF TOWN AND DROVE HOME LATE AT NIGHT. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE HEADLIGHTS OF A BRAND NEW CAR. OVER THE PAST 8 YEARS THE BRIGHTNESS HAS DETERIORATED SO BAD MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO USE DURING THE DARK AND TRIPLE THE CONCERN WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND IT'S RAINING. THIS USED TO NOT BE THE CASE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!! THIS HAPPENS WHETHER STREET DRIVING OR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND ESSENTIALLY MAKES ME HAVE TO USE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS WHEN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER NATURAL LIGHTING TO HELP

THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARDS IS SOLID LIT WITHOUT A ADULT PASSENGER ON PASSENGER SEAT. THE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS A ADULT PASSENGER ON THE PASSENGER SEAT

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE HOOD LATCHES OF THESE VEHICLES THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED BUT I HAD AN INCIDENT OCCUR WHERE MY HOOD DID FLY OPEN ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WHICH I HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO PAY FOR. I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A NEW HOOD LATCH AND SECURE THE HOOD BUT THE DAMAGE IS STILL PRESENT, THE HOOD DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, THE FENDERS WERE PUSHED BACK AND DAMAGED....I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I COULD HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED AND POSSIBLY REPAIRED WITH NO COST TO ME DUE TO THIS RECALL? I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40MPH ON A SECONDARY HIGHWAY WITH A GOOD DEAL OF TRAFFIC WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I STILL HAVE TRAUMA TO THIS DAY FROM THAT INCIDENT AND MY HOOD STILL DOES NOT LOOK PROPERLY SEALED AND WHEN I DRIVE OVER 60MPH I CAN SEE VIBRATIONS IN THE HOOD WHICH MAKE ME FEEL WITHOUT THE PROPER FIX, IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

I NOTICED IN NOVEMBER 1, 2019 THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIM. THIS ISSUE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO TURN ON THE BRIGHT LIGHTS TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE DIM LOW BEAM LIGHTS CREATE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS. MY WORK AS A REGISTERED NURSE REQUIRES 12 HOUR SHIFTS, WHICH MEANS I LEAVE HOME WHEN IT'S DARK AND LEAVE WORK WHEN IT'S DARK. WHEN I QUESTIONED A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A NISSAN DEFECT AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD I COULD REPLACE WITH AFTERMARKET PARTS, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I WAS TOLD NOT TO REPLACE WITH NISSAN PARTS BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE THE SAME ISSUE SINCE THE DEFECT IS NISSAN. I CONTACTED NISSAN IN NASHVILLE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS ONLY GIVEN AN OPTION TO ASK THE NISSAN DEALER FOR A DISCOUNT.

THE LOW BEAM DRIVING LIGHTS AREN'T BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SAFELY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. IT IS NOT DUE TO OLD BULBS, BUT RATHER DUE TO THE DESIGN AND MATERIALS OF THE REFLECTOR SYSTEM SURROUNDING THE BULB WHICH HAS DETERIORATED. HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE. LOW BEAMS MIGHT AS WELL BE OFF AS PEDESTRIANS, PARKED CARS, STOPPED CARS, ARE ALL NOT VISIBLE UNTIL WITHIN 20-30 FEET IN FRONT WHEN DRIVING ON OTHERWISE DIMLY LIT ROADS. I HAVE RUN OVER A SMALL CURB THAT WAS NOT VISIBLE DUE TO THE POOR LIGHTING. I AM CONCERNED I WILL NOT HAVE STOPPING DISTANCE IN RAIN EVEN AT LOW SPEED, SHOULD A PEDESTRIAN SUDDENLY BE VISIBLE IN THE LOW LIGHTING.

1)EXTREMELY DIM HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. DANGEROUSLY DIM AND HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE OVER 2 YEARS EVEN AFTER LIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ARE ISSUE. 2)HOOD WILL NOT CLOSE AND LATCH PROPERLY AS OF TODAY 12-14-2020 FOLLOWING STATIONARY ROUTINE OPENING OF HOOD. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. RECALL REPLACEMENT FOR LATCH HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED BY MAKER AS OF THIS DATE. RECALL WAS IN MAY 2020.

ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 12, 2020 I WAS DRIVING AND THE HOOD OPENED UP, SLAMMED ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD. I LUCKILY WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THAT POINT AND PULLED OVER. THE HOOD IS DENTED, CHIPPED PAINT, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT UPPER FENDERS ARE BENT, AND HINGES ARE NO LONGER RELIABLE. THE RUBBER ON THE SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD LIFTED AND SEPARATION OF THE UPPER FENDERS ON BOTH SIDES ALONG RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. I WAS LUCKILY DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE SUBURBS OF NY, NOT MUCH TRAFFIC AT THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, A RATTLING SOUND WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR LOWER SUSPENSION LINK HAD CORRODED AND SEPARATED FROM THE REAR BUSHING LINK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER FUCCILLO NISSAN OF LATHAM LOCATED AT 976 NEW LOUDON RD, LATHAM, NY 12110 WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. LAMPS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, HOWEVER THE NISSAN DEALER STATED THE INTERIOR OF THE LAMP HOUSING THAT REFLECTS THE LIGHT BEAM IS DETERIORATED. THERE LITERALLY IS NO LIGHT PROTRUDING FORWARD. CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING THE HIGH BEAMS. THE COST TO FIX THIS DEFECT IS OVER $1,000. THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT FROM THE LOW BEAMS IS LESS THAN DAYLIGHT RUNNING LAMPS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE LIGHTING HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS NOT A LAMP ISSUE OR TYPE OF LAMP, RATHER THE ACTUAL REFLECTIVE HOUSING INTERNALLY THAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO REPAIR, THE ENTIRE HOUSING MUST BE REPLACED. THIS SITUATION IS EQUALLY THE SAME FOR BOTH HEADLAMPS. FUNNY HOW THE NISSAN DEALER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE EXPRESSED OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, YET THERE'S NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAR......CLEAR VISIBILITY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED DEACON JONES NISSAN (3305 MCLAIN ST, GOLDSBORO, NC 27534, (919)734-2411). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. *BF

CAR JOLTS AND SHUDDERS ON THE ROAD INTERMITTENTLY. VERY UNSAFE AS CAR JOLTS FORWARD ON ITS OWN. CAR STALLS SOMETIMES ON THE ROAD. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WHEN YOU GIVE A LITTLE GAS, CAR WILL SOMETIMES GO NORMALLY OR IT WILL JOLT FORWARD LIKE A CLUTCH BEING LET OUT EVEN THOUGH ITS AN AUTOMATIC. ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH 2013 NISSANS AND STILL THEY HAVE NOT DONE A RECALL. THINGS THAT ARE THIS DANGEROUS SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE CANNOT PAY 4000 DOLLARS FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

OUT OF KNOW WHERE MY CAR WILL NOT GO INTO DRIVE, STUCK IN PARK. SO I BEEN HAVING TO PUSH IN THE SHIFT LOCK. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO GOTO AND FROM WORK AGAIN WITHOUT DOING THIS. WHAT DO I DO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION TO SAFELY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MONROE NISSAN (5510 WEST HIGHWAY 74, MONROE, NC 28110, (980)313-8400) WHERE THE MECHANIC CLEANED THE HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.*DT*DT CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BUT NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND.*JB*JB

REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE AT THE FRAME DUE TO CORROSION

THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE STAYS ON WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE IT'S NOT DETECTING ANY WEIGHT. EVEN WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN IT IT DOESN'T DETECT WEIGHT. THE TIRES ARE CONSTANTLY LOSING AIR.

THE LOW BEAMS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE SO LOW I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS 100% OF THE TIME WHEN IT IS DARK. I DRIVE A MINIMUM OF 50 MILES A DAY JUST TO AND FROM WORK AND DEPENDING ON THE SEASON IT IS DARK BOTH WAYS. THIS IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS WHO GET REALLY MAD ( AND DEFINITELY LET ME KNOW IT ). ON COMING DRIVERS FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME AND CARS THAT I FOLLOW EVEN SLOW DOWN SO MUCH THAT I HAVE TO PASS THEM JUST SO THEY CAN TAILGATE ME WITH THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON. IT'S SCARY !! I LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA WITH HIGH DEER TRAFFIC AND MINIMAL STREET LIGHTS. WE HAVE TRIED REPLACING LIGHT BULBS SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. FROM WHAT I AM READING, LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS WELL. THE FIX IS NOT CHEAP BUT WE WILL HAVE TO DISH OUT THE MONEY TO DO IT BEFORE I GET PULLED OVER AND TICKETED OR WORSE, GET IN ACCIDENT CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH TO SOMEONE INCLUDING MYSELF.

THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE DIM POSITION DO NOT SUFFICIENTLY PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY DRIVE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING.

MY CAR HESITATES WHEN IN REVERSE OR WHEN AT RED LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN DRIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT FROM THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL AT THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN FAILURE WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 187,000.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO OPERATE SAFELY AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WITH WET ROADS. REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT BULBS DOES NOT IMPROVE LOW-BEAM PERFORMANCE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE LOW-BEAM PROJECTION COATING IN THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. THE SITUATION IS RAPIDLY GETTING WORSE.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE SECOND LATCH OF THE HOOD ON MY NISSAN ALTIMA FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS NOW AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL ABLE TO BE USED HOWEVER, IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS IF THE LATCH ACCIDENTALLY GETS PULED WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM AND PRESENTED A DRIVING HAZARD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PETRO NISSAN (6248 US-98, HATTIESBURG, MS 39402, (601) 450-1470) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

HEAD LIGHT LOW BEAMS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. CAN'T SEE BEYOND 100 FEET. I MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON OR CAN'T SEE. LIKE HAVING A SMALL FLASHLIGHT FOR HEAD LIGHTS. VERY DANGEROUS EASILY CAN SEE AN ACCIDENT (CRASH) COMING SOON ESPECIALLY IN RAIN AT NIGHT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 ALTIMA. NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED YET FORD DID IN 2012 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMONE IS GOING TO DIE. DELALER QUOTED $1200 TO REPLACE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS DEFINITELY MUST BE RECALLED.

THE AIRBAG SIGN CAME (CODE B0028) ON AT 110000 MILES ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T BEEN ON ANY ACCIDENTS FOR LAST 12000 MILES. WHEN I CHECKED WITH DEALERS, THEY SAID AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE IS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEED TO REPLACE THAT WITH RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAG WIRES AND MIGHT COST 2000 OR MORE DOLLARS. I AM AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AND IT'S HARD FOR ME TO ARRANGE THAT MUCH MONEY. PLEASE HELP ME, AS I HAVE COME TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN NISSAN VEHICLES. THE AIRBAG SIGN COMES BACK AFTER CLEARING THE CODE IF SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THANK YOU FOR READING MY REQUEST.

WHEN IN THE PARKED POSITION AND IDLE, THE PRESSING OF THE SHIFT TRIGGER ON THE SHIFTER WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO SHIFT FROM PARKED TO ANY OTHER POSITION (IT IS STUCK) DUE TO THE FAILURE OF A SELENOID SENSOR NOT ACTIVATING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE SHIFTING TO TAKE PLACE. PLEASE SEE THE LINK OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEO TO EXPLAIN THE ISSUE/RESOLUTION: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=EU7VM2Y-7LY

A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR WHILE DRIVING AND HOT AIR WHEN I CAME TO STOPS AND IDLED. IT'S ONLY FOR SOME CARS THAT HAVE AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL APPARENTLY. THE ISSUE IS THE AC COMPRESSOR CONTROL VALVE FAILING. PLEASE SEE THE YOUTUBE LINK FOR A BETTER EXPLANATION OF THE ISSUE/RESOLUTION: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/IDWEDXJENKO

THE LOW BEAMS ON MY HEADLIGHTS ARE REALLY DIM AND THE HOUSING UNIT FOR THE BULB IS BURNT OUT NOT ALLOWING THE LIGHT TO PROJECT. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING WITHOUT THE USE OF MY HIGH BEAMS ON CAUSING A HUGE VISIBILITY SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL NEED TO BUY ALL NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES IN ORDER TO HAVE GOOD VISIBILITY AND TO FIX THE ISSUE. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO ATTACHED AND A LINK TO YOUTUBE FOR A BETTER EXPLANATION OF THE ISSUE.

LOW BEAM PERFORMANCE WAS ALWAYS SUB-PAR WHEN CAR WAS NEW. AS THE THE CAR AGES THE LOW BEAM PERFORMANCE IS GETTING WORSE. ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE ON THE INTERNET SAYS THE REFLECTOR WITHIN THE LOW BEAM PROJECTORS DETERIORATES, THUS REDUCING LOW BEAM PERFORMANCE.

THE LIGHTING PROVIDED BY THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM ARE WOEFULLY SUB STANDARD AND MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. RESEARCH INDICATES THIS HAS BEEN WIDELY KNOWN IN 2013-2015 MODELS. THE COST OF REPAIRS IS IN THE $1000 RANGE. SINCE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND BULB REPLACEMENT DOES NOT CORRECT THE SAFETY HAZARD THIS SHOULD QUALIFY AS A RECALL AND BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO,HAPPEN. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT DUE TO THE POOR VISIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESUME BACK TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MICHAEL JORDAN NISSAN (3930 DURHAM CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, (919) 489-3800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 155,000. *BF*JB

THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.*DT *TR

REAR LOWER CONTROL A ARM THAT HOLDS SPRING ROTTED AT WELDS AND BROKE MADE TIRE DRAG DOWN HIGHWAY AT 65MPH ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE OF THIS .COST ME 150 TOW PLUS THE PART WAS FEW HUNDRED TOO.🙁. LIGHTS SUCK SO BAD CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT. 30 FEET IF THAT, I HAVE REPLACED BULBS (40)$ AND STILL SUCK DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOT RIGHT ..THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE MONTH BY MONTH. WHEN I GOT THE CAR AT 30 K MILES IT WAS THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. 11/09/2020

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN SO DIM WE CANT EVEN DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH OUT HIGH BEAMS THIS I FEEL IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL FROM 2013 TO 2015 NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND REPLACE THEM AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT STARTED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO
