2014 Nissan Altima complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACTED STATED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WERE THE NOISE CAME FROM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARLBORO NISSAN (740 BOSTON POST RD E, MARLBOROUGH, MA 01752 508-481-3232) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAN NOT SEE AT NIGHT DUE TO VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS, HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE JUST NOT THE LOW BEAMS. HAVE REPLACED BULBS AND EVEN THE LOCAL DEALER CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT. I CAN ONLY SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ABOUT 20 FEET IN FRONT OF ME WHICH IS DANGEROUS ON DARK RURAL AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE ROUTE I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND IMMEDIATELY FELT THE STEERING WHEEL SHIFT FROM EVEN TO THE LEFT ABOUT 45 DEGREES WITH A THUMPING SOUND . ALSO THE STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON. I TRIED TO STEER THE CAR PROPERLY BUT ENCOUNTERED A PULLING TO THE LEFT. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD INTO A LOT AND DISCOVERED THE REAR LEFT WHEEL AND SIDE (DRIVER SIDE} WAS LOWER THAN THE RIGHT AND THE WHEEL WAS TILTED INWARD. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE CONNECTION TO THE SUSPENSION WAS COMPROMISED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED ON FLATBED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. HE IS LOCATED NEAR THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP SO WE HOPE TO GET IT RESOLVED WITH HIS SELP. MY RESEARCH ON YOUR SITE INDICATED THAT SEVERAL (1000'S) OF 2013 VEHICLES EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT MANY 2014 MODELS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS NOT JUST FOR THE 2013 MODELS AND THE 2014'S AGE IS ABOUT AT THE SAME TIME WHEN THE 2013'S HAVE FAILED. (6 YEARS OLD). I AM HOPING THAT NISSAN FOLLOWS SUIT WITH THE 2014 MODELS LIKE CANADA DID LAST YEAR.

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS NO LONGER ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AT NIGHT, CREATING VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. ILLUMINATION INTENSITY HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. USE OF HIGH BEAMS IS REQUIRED TO ADEQUATELY VIEW THE ROAD AT NIGHT, WHICH BLINDS ONCOMING DRIVERS, THUS CREATING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR THEM.

ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN, ABOUT 10 FEET LATER THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. NEITHER REVERSE OR FORWARD GEARS WORKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE RUNS NORMALLY AND NO ABNORMAL NOISES. ENDED UP HAVING TO PUSH THE CAR TO THE NEAREST SAFE AREA AND WAITED FOR A TOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SUDDEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT JUST OVER 50,000 MILES THE SHOP HAS QUOTED ME $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CITING THEY HAVE SEEN MANY FAILURES ON THE NISSAN CVT'S AND DO NOT RECOMMEND REPAIRING THEM.

MY LOW BEAMS HEADLIGHT ARE SO DIM THAT I CANNOT DRIVE SAFETY WITHOUT USE OF HIGH BEAMS LIGHT. OTHER DRIVER ARE NOT SAFE EITHER WHEN I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS, JUST IN ORDER FOR ME TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING. I REPLACED THE BULBS MORE THAN ONE TIME AND THERE IS STILL NO IMPROVEMENT.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA HAVE DETERIORATED TO A POINT WHERE THE LIGHT DOES NOT PROJECT OUT ONTO OTHER CARS ON THE ROADWAY AND TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES CANNOT BE SEEN RESULTING IN COLLISION WITH CURB TYPE MEDIAN TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE WHILE MOVING TO TURN DUE TO INADEQUATE ILLUMINATION OF ROADWAY SURFACES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT, THE HEADLAMP WOULD FAIL TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. (PIAZZA NISSAN OF ARDMORE LOCATED AT 265 LANCASTER AVE, ARDMORE, PA 19003, (610) 649-4400), WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,852.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY BAD AT NIGHT I HAVE CHANGED OUT WITH NEW ONES 5 TIMES. ALSO THE STEERING HAVE TO KEEP BEING CORRECTED WHEN DRIVING CAR WANTS TO GO INTO OTHER LANES I HAD 2 WHEEL ALIGNMENTS IN STILL NO HELP

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILING WITH ONLY 73,900 MILES ON THE 2014 VEHICLE. ALSO BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR MECHANISMS HAVE BROKE FROM THE INSIDE, MEANING YOU HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE DIM AND I HAVE HAD A PLETHORA OF NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES BECAUSE OTHER CARS FLASH THEIR BRIGHT LIGHTS AT ME THINKING MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I WAS EVEN FOLLOWED AND TOLD THAT MY LIGHTS WERE NOT ON AND HAD TO SHOW THE DRIVER THAT MY LIGHTS WERE ON.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE THE ROAD. VISIBILITY IS LOW AND DANGEROUS. THE LIGHTS WORKED FINE WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. ONCOMING CARS ARE FLASHING LIGHTS AT ME WHILE DRIVING THINKING I DO NOT HAVE MY LIGHTS TURNED ON. THIS PROBLEM COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF ADDRESSED ASAP.

LOW BEAMS YOU CAN'T HARDLY SEE ANYTHING AT ALL AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT IS NOT AS BRIGHT AS THE PASSENGER SIDE EVEN AFTER GETTING A NEW HEADLIGHT. THE LIGHT IS BRIGHT WHEN UP CLOSE BUT IS BARELY VISIBLE FAR AWAY. BASICALLY, YOU ARE DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLIGHT AT NIGHT MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE.

OVER TIME THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT HIGH BEAMS ON AT NIGHT THE ROAD CANNOT BE SEEN.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I CANNOT SEE, I REPLACED THE BULBS AND THERE IS NO CHANGE, THE ISSUE IS IN THE HEADLIGHT COVERING, ITS DARKENING THE BULB. IT IS A HAZARD!

FACTORY LIGHT BEAMS WHERE DANGEROUSLY LOW. VISIBILITY WAS CLOSE TO NONE, OFTEN HAD TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS THE LIGHTBULB WHICH WAS REPLACED AND THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT COMPARTMENT IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE. LOOKED UP ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER DRIVERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE DUE TO A THIN LAYER IN THE REFLECTOR COMPARTMENT THAT ONCE IT FADES, IT CAUSES THE LIGHT TO NOT REFLECT PROPERLY ONTO THE ROAD. THIS MANUFACTURER ERROR SHOULD BE LOOKED AT, AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS.

I WENT TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, HEARD A LOUD THUMP FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE REAR END MY SWAY BAR WAS BROKEN OFF ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING MY RIGHT SIDE BROKE WHILE I WAS BACKING UP.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT JUST CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND WOULD COME OFF I JUST STARTED THE CAR AND IT'S BEEN ON EVER SINCE

STARTING IN APRIL 2019 ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SV. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. THEY ARE EASILY OVERPOWERED BY THE TURN SIGNAL, AND HEADLIGHTS FROM OTHER VEHICLES CAST A "SHADOW" WHEN DRIVING BEHIND THIS VEHICLE. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIAL IN ANY WET WEATHER EVENT IT IS ALMOST LIKE HAVING NO LIGHTS ON AT ALL. IF THERE IS A MINIMUM LUMENS THAT NEED TO BE PROJECTED TO THE ROAD THIS DESIGN IS NOT DOING IT. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED WITH APPROPRIATE UNITS, NO CHANGE IN THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE LIGHTS. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS SAFETY DEFECT THEY PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. AND TOOK ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COMPANIES DESIGN FLAW.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT WON'T GO AWAY.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO I NOTICED I COULD NOT SEE WELL AT NIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM. THEY REPLACED IT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT STILL WAS NOT ANY BETTER. TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. I REPLACED THE BULB 2 MORE TIMES AND STILL WAS AWFUL. THEN I DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS COMMON IN 2014 ALTIMAS. I WAS TOLD I COULD FIX THE ISSUE BY REPLACING SOME PARTS. REPLACED MY PASSENGER SIDE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF ALL THE ISSUES THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HAD MELTED. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. THIS WILL END UP COSTING $800, FOR HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD I WAS LUCKY THAT MY CAR DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND PROVIDE THE REPAIRS. ACCIDENTS COULD HAPPEN DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LIGHT PROJECTED FROM THE HEADLAMPS WERE INADEQUATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIRST TEAM NISSAN OF NEW RIVER VALLEY LOCATED AT 2130 N FRANKLIN STREET, CHRISTIANSBURG, VA 24073, (540) 382-2903, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLAMP BULBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,383. *BF*JB

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR & PASSENGER AIRBAG ON/OFF INDICATOR REMAINS ON EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED IN THE FRONT SEAT. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY FROM AN IMPACT AS NEEDED. REQUEST ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS RELATED SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH AND NOT VISIBLE DRIVING AT NITE. VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE FOR NITE DRIVING AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN FOR ALL 2013-2015 ATIMA MODELS.HAVE TO PURCHASE NEW HEADLIGHTS WHICH COST ME $300.00 FOR HEADLIGHT AND $300 TO INSTALL. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THESE NISSAN ATIMA'S AND I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED.

MY 2014 ALTIMA'S LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM THAT IS NOT SECURE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. CHANGING THE BULBS DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON BOTH SIDE BECOMES EXTREMELY DIM TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT, WHICH BECOMES HAZARDOUS. WENT TO NISSAN DEALER WHO TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN ALTIMA AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ORDERED. THEY WERE NOT SURE OF SOLUTION BUT TOLD THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE CHANGED. SEVERAL TIMES GOT BEEPED FROM INCOMING CARS AS THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SO DIM AS IF HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT TURNED ON. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ISSUE IN JULY OF 2019 AND THIS ISSUE HAS BECOME MORE EVIDENT ONCE MY DAUGHTER STARTED TO PRACTICE DRIVING USING THIS CAR.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT IS MORE THAN 100 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN CAUSE AN INCIDENT ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY GOING FASTER SPEEDS AND NON ILLUMINATED AREAS WHERE YOU NEED TO SEE FURTHER AHEAD. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE PERFECTLY FINE, BUT WHEN USING MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE NOT EVEN TURNED ON.

HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. REFLECTOR NO LONGER PROJECTS LIGHT. MANY COMPLAINTS ON MESSAGE BOARDS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THAT I HAD LOW VISIBILITY AND COULD NOT SEE AS FAR AS 1 FOOF AHEAD AND HAD TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS ALL THE WAY HOME. I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS MY BULBS OR BATTERY AND CHANGED THEM BOTH OUT. WHEN I CHANGED THEM, I NOTICED NO CHANGE AND ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR AND FEEL THAT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT OTHERS THAT HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR AND FEEL THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY RISK.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THE CAR CANNOT E DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THE BULBS WERE REPLACED TWICE WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. ADJUSTING THE BULBS ALSO DID NOT IMPROVE THE ILLUMINATION. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT AND THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR THE LAST FOUR WEEKS. IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING FLAW THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR. YOU CAN'T VALUE ENGINEER SAFETY. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. IN CLOSING THE TURN SIGNAL BULBS PRODUCE MORE LIGHT THAN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS.

LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM! I CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS. I HAVE BOUGHT NEW BULBS (LED) WITHOUT A SOLUTION. DEALERSHIP SOLUTION IS TO PAY $1000+ TO GET NEW HEADLIGHTS. MANY OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE.

BOTH LOW BEAM, HEADLAMPS IN MY 2014 ALTIMA ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I FIRST NOTICED IT ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE OVER TIME. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH OEM AND HIGH END (BRIGHTER) BULBS TO NO AVAIL. THE EXTERNAL ASSEMBLY PLASTIC IS NOT THAT FADED AND EVEN TRIED BUFFING IT. THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT UNLESS THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 ALTIMA, I ACCELERATED FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR AND BEGAN SLIDING. AS SOON AS I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, I RESTARTED AND BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD. WHILE ONLY GOING 15 MPH, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICE THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS NOT ALIGNED CORRECTLY. AFTER BEING TOWED AND UPON FURTHER REVIEW, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY LOWER REAR CONTROL ARM HAD SNAPPED OFF FROM THE BOLT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, THE REAR PASSENGER CONTROL ARM WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE A SEVERE CRACK ON BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM SIDES.

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM I HAVE REPLACED THEM BOTH WHICH HAS NOT HELPED AND KNOW THEY HAVE BOTH WENT OUT AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HI BEAMS ON AT ALL TIMES. WHICH PRIOR TO THEM GOING OUT I DROVE WITH HI BEAMS JUST TO SEE. VERY IN SAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE SPOKE WITH NISSAN REGARDING THIS AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS REGARDING MY YEAR OR MODEL. BASICALLY THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

MAIN HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. THEY HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS AND NOW HELP ALMOST NOT AT ALL. IF I DID NOT HAVE FOG LIGHTS I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON IN ORDER TO SEE AT NIGHT.

THE PROJECTORS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED AFTER A COUPLE YEARS. THE LOW BEAMS ARE SO DIM THAT WE CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT TIME. WE HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH NUMEROUS DIFFERENT BULBS AND THE BULBS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM, IT IS THE PROJECTORS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. AS CAN BE FOUND ONLINE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING A LOT WITH THE 5TH GENERATION ALTIMA. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED AS THIS IS VERY CLEARLY A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM IF YOU CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN FLAW.

LOW BEAM PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND REPLACING LIGHT BULBS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE PROJECTOR LENS

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ONE EVENING AND WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS AUTOMATICALLY CAME ON I NOTICED THEY WERE SIGNIFICANTLY DIMMER THEN NORMAL. I RODE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO WITH THE DIM HEADLIGHTS AND IT APPEARED THAT THEY WERE GRADUALLY GETTING DIMMER UNTIL ONE OF THE BULBS EVENTUALLY WENT OUT. I HAD BOTH BULBS REPLACED AND THE HEADLIGHTS REMAINED SEVERLY DIM. SO DIM THAT THERE IS NO LIGHT BEING EMITTED ONTO THE ROAD AND I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAMS WHEN TRAVELING AFTER DARK.

STARTS CAR IN PARKING LOT AND DRIVES TO THE PARKING ATTENDANT BOOTH WITHOUT ISSUE PUTS CAR IN PARK TO PAY WHILE TRYING TO PAY, HEARS LOUD 'GRINDING' SOUND. ASKS ATTENDANT IF HE HEARS THE SOUND. ATTENDANT SAYS 'YES" ASKS ATTENDANT IF SHE'S POSSIBLY ON THE CURB OR STUCK ON SOMETHING. ATTENDANT SAYS 'NO" AND RAISES GATE. PRESSES BRAKE PEDAL AND MOVES THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR TO DRIVE REMOVES FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR LAUNCHES AGGRESSIVELY AND ACCELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY. CAR'S SPEED INCREASES. REPEATEDLY PRESSES BRAKES BUT FORWARD PROGRESS IS BARELY SLOWED. CONTINUES PRESSING BRAKES AS CAR STRIKES A SIGN, HOTEL LIGHTING, AND CRASHES INTO A TREE; STOPPING CAR'S FORWARD PROGRESS. ENGINE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE; SPINNING FRONT TIRES INTO THE GROUND. RESPONDERS OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND EXTRACT DRIVER. WHEELS CONTINUE TO SPIN. WHEELS SPIN UNTIL ONE RESPONDER IS ABLE TO CUT OFF THE CAR

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN CAR IS TURNED ON. MY DAUGHTER SAYS THE HOOD OF THE CAR IS VIBRATING WHEN DRIVING!

I PURCHASED A USED 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 58,000 MILES. IT DROVE GREAT DURING TEST DRIVING AND ON MY WAY HOME WHICH IS 1 HOUR AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE. BY DAY 2 THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AROUND 60 MI PER HR. AND UNDER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. BY DAY 4 ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP THE RPM WOULD JUMP UP TO 4 AND THE CAR MADE A WINDING NOISE. IT WOULD ADVANCE FORWARD QUICKLY AND THEN STALL. ALL OF THIS WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I CAME TO A PLACE WHERE I COULD PULL OVER WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TRIED TO PULL OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. I FINALLY HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. NISSAN HAS YET TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SAYING IT HAS AN "UNSPECIFIED CODE". IT'S BEEN 3 DAYS. I KNOW THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION HOWEVER I DON'T SEE MY VEHICLE VIN ON THE LIST.

ABOUT THREE YEARS INTO OWNING MY BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA I BEGAN TO REALIZE HOW INCREDIBLY DARK THE ROADS WERE BECOMING WHEN I WOULD DRIVE AT NIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I THOUGHT AT FIRST I NEEDED NEW PRESCRIPTION GLASSES BUT WHEN I BEGIN NEEDING TO USE MY BRIGHTS FOR REGULAR NIGHTTIME DRIVING IN THE CITY I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THEN, BOTH MY BROTHER AND FATHER ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS POINTED OUT HOW DANGEROUSLY DIM MY HEADLIGHTS WERE. AFTER THAT, I KNEW IT WAS NOT JUST MY EYES SEEING DARKLY. I BEGIN TO DO RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THE HEADLIGHT BARREL UNIT CORRODES AFTER JUST A FEW YEARS OF OWNERSHIP IN THE NISSAN 2013 TO 2015 MODELS. I HAVE TRIED CHANGING THE HEADLIGHTS AND FOUND THIS TO BE USELESS, PROVING THE POINT OF OTHER OWNERS. IT IS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING THAT IT IS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING THAT SUCH INTEGRAL SAFETY/VISION FACETS OF MY CAR ARE USELESS. I FEEL COMPLETELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I HAVE NORMALLY VERY GREAT VISION. IF MY CAR CAN'T SHINE LIGHTS IN FRONT OF ME, THAT IS A HUGE CONCERN, AND THIS ISSUE WITHIN THE ALTIMA MODELS CAN GET SOMEONE KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY BY UNLOCKING AND LOCKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL OR DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. AFTER THE FAILURE, THE DOOR OPENING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS TOO DIM. THERE IS NO LIGHT COMING PUT OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS WEAK BULB AND HAD IT REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM DIDNOT GO AWAY. WENT TO NISSAN DEALER WHO TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN ALTIMA AND NO RECALL HS BEEN ORDERED. THEY WERE NOT SURE OF SOLUTION BUT TOLD WHOLE CONSOLE CHNAGE MAY SOLVE THE ISSUE. RIGHT NOW I NEED TO PUT HIGH BEAMS ON AS ONLY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GIVES RIGHT AMOUNT OF LIGHT. THE PASSENGER LIGHT IS ON BUT NOTHING CAN BE SEEN. THE HEADLIGHT PANEL IS CLEAN AND CLEAR BUT NO LIGHT COMES OUT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM, PROJECTING ONLY 2-3 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. REPLACING THE BULBS DOES NOT HELP. THE REFLECTIVE COATING ON THE PROJECTION LENS HAS WORN OFF CAUSING THE LIGHT BEAM TO NOT PROJECT WELL. THIS CREATES VERY POOR VISIBILITY AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

CAR WOULD NOT STOP AS I WAS TRYING STOP FROM HITTING A VEHICLE THAT STOPPED I'M FRONT OF ME, DUE TO BRAKES LOCKING UP AND I TRIED TO SWERVE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT FROM OCCURRING THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AS WELL.*DT*JB

I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPOT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AS I REACHED THE PARKING SPOT, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO MY LIVING ROOM. MY FOOT NEVER TOUCHED THE GAS. THE ONLY WAY TO PARK IN SUCH A TIGHT SPOT IS TO HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS HAPPENED BUT WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT.

FUEL PUMP STOP WORKING

I PARKED THE CAR WENT INTO A STORE LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE CVT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I KNOW THERE ARE NO GEARS IN CVT BUT I COULD ONLY GO 20 MPH ON THE ROAD AND HIGHWAY, VERY DANGEROUS. I MADE IT HOME, AND THE NEXT MORNING, THE TRANSMISSION WAS OK.
