2014 Nissan Altima complaints

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHT HOUSING AND NOT THE BULB. THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE LIGHT HOUSING IS BREAKING DOWN AND NOT REFLECTING THE LIGHT ANY LONGER. HARD TO SEE WITHOUT USING HIGH BEAMS.

MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY '14 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE VERY DIM, TO THE POINT THAT I AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE MORE THAN 5-10 FEET IN FRONT OF ME. I LIVE OFF OF A DARK ROAD WITH LIMITED LIGHTING, AND IS ALWAYS FEARFUL OF HITTING SOMETHING/ SOMEONE OR RUNNING OFF THE ROAD SO I'M FREQUENTLY DRIVING WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON JUST TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY. THIS PROGRESSING DIMMING WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DRIVE OFTEN FOR WORK IN OCCASIONAL HIGH CONSTRUCTION AND NEWLY DEVELOPED AREAS WHERE EQUIPMENT MAY BE LEFT OUT IN POORLY LIT AREAS, LIKE CONES OR MACHINERY, THAT ARE DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SPOT FROM A SAFE DISTANCE. IF REFLECTORS ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY, I HAVE DIFFICULTIES STAYING WITHIN MY LANE BECAUSE OF THE DIMMING HEADLIGHTS, RESULTING IN PLACING OTHER DRIVERS AND MYSELF IN DANGER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHICH I WAS EXPLAINED THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LIGHT BULB ITSELF, BUT A DEFECTIVE OR WORN PROJECTOR LENS WHICH WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO REPLACE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 ALTIMA HAVE BECOME REALLY DIM TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE MECHANIC CHANGED THE LIGHT BULBS BUT THIS DID FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THE PROJECTOR (LENS) MATERIAL INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS CORRODED AND THAT THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE IT AFFECTS VISIBILITY AT NIGHT, AND NISSAN SHOULD PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND THEN TURNED ON AGAIN, BUT WERE VERY DIM. THE FAILURE WAS A HAZARD BECAUSE THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BULBS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

AIR BAG LIGT CAME ON DEALER SAY.S 2,000 TO FIX AND NOT COVERED

ALTIMA AIRBAG RECALL MY ALTIMA IS UNDER THE YEAR THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED, BUT MY SPECIFIC ALTIMA IS NOT RECALLED BUT IS SHOWING ALL THE SIGNS THAT THE RECALL STATES.

CAR IN MOTION AT THE TIME WHEN IT STARTED JERKING, CAR WAS IN REVERSE TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPOT. STEPPED ON GAS PETAL CONTINUED ON THE ROAD, STARTED JERKING WORSE AS THE CAR TURNED ONTO EXIT. CAR PULLED OVER AND STOPPED.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM AND NEW BULBS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME TO CONTACT NISSAN. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY HAD NO SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. I CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. ASKED ABOUT HAVING CAR REPAIRED AND NISSAN REPAIR QUOTED OVER $1000.00 AND NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

TRANSMISSION WILL GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DYING AND REVIVING UP. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALLS. PER NISSAN NOW, THE TRANSMISSION IS DEAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT.

HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY OF THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIM. HIGH BEAM WORKS EXCEPTIONALLY BUT LOW BEAM SEEMS TO BE BURNED OUT. LIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THERE IS NO CHANGE IS VISIBILITY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO AUTONATION NISSAN WHERE THEY CONCLUDED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE HEADLAMPS. HEADLAMPS HAVE EVEN BEEN ADJUSTED IN THE DIRECTION THAT PROJECT, BUT STILL NO CHANGE IN VISIBILITY. HEADLAMP VISIBILITY BECAME DRASTICALLY DECREASED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY

ACCELERATION ISSUES. SPORADICALLY THE CAR WILL DO NOTHING WHEN WE STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WE ESSENTIALLY HAVE ZERO POWER TO MOVE. AFTER HOLDING THE ACCELERATOR DOWN FOR A NUMBER OF SECONDS THE CAR WILL THEN ABNORMALLY START TO ACCELERATE AND REV UP ON RPMS BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS NORMAL. IT'S AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS THOROUGHLY CONFUSED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT COULD NEVER GET OVER 60 MPH REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE BEHAVIOR. THE ISSUE CONTINUES AT RANDOM TIMES AND WE FEEL INCREDIBLY UNSAFE WHEN WE ARE IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR WILL IDLE FORWARD BUT DO NOTHING EVEN WHEN ACCERATOR IS DEPRESSED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WITH VIDEO OF THE VEHICLES CRAZY BEHAVIOR; THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. THEY TELL ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT GETS WORSE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE WE ARE AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT THE CAR DOES NOTHING BUT IDLE FORWARD; IT CATCHES US OFF GUARD AND WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IDLING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHEN MAKING TURNS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN WHO SAID THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN WATCHING THE VIDEO AND THAT THE COMPUTER INDICATES NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. WE ARE INCREDIBLY WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR AND FEEL NISSAN IS COVERING UP AN ISSUE. IT WAS ADMITTED TO ME BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THEIR CVTS; IT IS EVIDENT IN CONSUMER INFORMATION ON THE INTERNE

I NOTICED LAST YEAR THAT MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE REALLY DIM, LITERALLY THE FOG LIGHTS ILLUMINATE FARTHER THAN THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS. I BOUGHT NEW BULBS THAT WERE LED AND MY HIGH BEAM LIGHTS ARE REALLY BRIGHT, HOWEVER THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE STILL JUST AS THEY WERE BEFORE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY NISSAN ALTIMA 2013-2015 OWNERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, IF YOU CAN'T SEE WITHOUT YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS ON!!! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL DONE ON THE HEADLIGHTS YET???? SURELY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE THERE IS A TRAGIC WRECK BECAUSE A DRIVER CAN'T SEE TWO FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD.

RIGHT REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED/FRACTURED CAUSING VEHICLE TO VEER OFF ROAD . COMPONENT REPLACED 6/2019.... CURRENTLY INSPECTING LEFT REAR LOWER CONTROL I FOUND IT HAS FRACTURED AS WELL. IT IS FRACTURED IN AN AREA WHERE THERE IS NO APPARENT DEGRADATION FROM RUST .... THE METAL IS ALL INTACT AND BRITTLE.

CAR SHUDDERS, IDLES UP AND DOWN, LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TACHOMETER WILL RAISE TO 4500-5000 RPMS WITH NO REAL POWER SUPPLIED TO THE CAR, AND WILL ONLY SLOWLY ACCELERATE(SLIPPING?) TACHOMETER BOUNCES UP AND DOWN WITHIN 100RPM RANGE WHILE COASTING. MY CVT IS ABOUT TO FAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A RUMBLING NOISE AND THERE WAS A STRONG VIBRATION COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SURGED AND THE GEARS FAILED TO PROPERLY CHANGE OVER, WHEN NEEDED. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR KEPT ILLUMINATING. TEMECULA NISSAN (41895 MOTOR CAR PKWY, TEMECULA, CA 92591, 951-972-8400) WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES AND KEPT INDICATING THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR CAUSED THE SYSTEM TO ASSUME TO BRAKE AND ALSO CAUSED A POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER LATER SENT A TECHNICIAN TO PROVIDE FURTHER TESTING. PEDDER NISSAN (200 CARRIAGE CIR, HEMET, CA 92545, (951) 225-4831) WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND INDICATED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN A SETTLEMENT WITH NO REMEDY FOR A PERMANENT REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE CONTACT CALLED SULLIVAN BROTHERS NISSAN (1 CRANBERRY RD, KINGSTON, MA 02364, (781) 585-7500) TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE RPM DIAL STARTED TO MOVE UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLIP GEARS. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO INTO TOP GEAR, STRUGGLED TO GO UP HILLS, BEGAN SHIFTING GEARS ERRATICALLY, AND COULD NOT ACELERATE PAST 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR FELT VERY HURKY JERKY AND THE RIDE WAS THE OPPPOSITE OF SMOOTH. THIS PERSISTED FOR OVER SEVERAL MILES. I GOT THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. ACCORDING TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT I AM INVOLVED IN THAT NISSAN LOST, ON JUNE 9, 2019, NISSAN WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR. THE CASE IS CHRISTOPHER GANN ET AL. V. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, CASE NUMBER 3:18-CV-00966, IN THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE. MY CAR IS AT THE ROCKLAND NISSAN DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW AT 845 -358-6700 AND THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ACCORDING TO THE LEGAL DEAL THEY MADE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO EXTEND OUR WARRANTY 24 MONTHS OR 24,000 MILES AND PAY FOR ANY SERVICING OF OUR TRANSMISSION.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT. THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I CAN BARELY SEE A FOOT IN FRONT OF ME. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH LED AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. TRAVELING ON ANY ROAD I HAVE TO PUT MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON JUST TO SEE. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT MY SAFETY OR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS IN JEOPARDY JUST BECAUSE NISSAN HAS A FLAWED SYSTEM THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. IT'S SURELY SOMEONE'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE NISSAN PUT OUT A RECALL ON THESE HEADLIGHTS SO WE AS THE CAR OWNERS DON'T HAVE TO PAY $1,000 FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NISSAN'S FAULT. AS OF DECEMBER 2018, THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM RANKS 10TH IN THE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM RECENT PROBLEM TREND LIST. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I AM BEGGING YOU TO PLEASE MAKE NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS COMPLAINS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE OVER 96 COMPLAINTS ALONE ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT PERTAIN TO THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE FOR 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA'S FROM. PLEASE MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!!!!!!

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE SO LOW THAT YOU CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT. I HAVE CHANGE THE BULBS 2 TIMES AND I'M STILL GETTING THE SAME RESULTS. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP AND THEY SUGGESTED ME CHANGING OUT BOTH HEAD LIGHTS. WHY HAVEN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN RECALL BY NISSAN?

THE HEADLIGHTS OF THE NISSAN ALTIMA 2014 ARE TOO DIM FOR SAFE DRIVING AFTER DARK. THE LOW BEAMS, ON REGULAR SETTING, BARELY SHINE IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDE LITTLE TO NO LIGHTING FOR THE SURROUNDING ROADWAYS. THE PERIPHERAL VIEW OF THE ROAD AND/OR MEDIANS, WHILE DRIVING, IS OBSOLETE. WHILE DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, I AM FORCED TO TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO SEE A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF ME. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, I HAVE COMPLETELY MISSED A CAR DRIVING ON EITHER SIDE OF ME, BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. EVEN AFTER REPLACING BOTH BULBS, THE LACK OF LIGHTING IS EVIDENT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT, WHEN I DO NOT HAVE THE HELP OF THE CITY STREET LIGHTS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR 2013-2015 ALTIMAS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT AMONG ALTIMA OWNERS. REPLACING THE BULBS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS DOES LITTLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE, AND THE ONLY OTHER OPTION IS $1,000 WORTH OF WORK TO IMPROVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO OWN THIS CAR. INADEQUATE LIGHTING, WHICH IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT IN THIS CASE, IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVERS OF THESE VEHICLES NOT TO MENTION EVERYONE WHO SHARES THE ROAD WITH THEM.

SHAKES WHEN TAKING OFF, WHEN HITTING THE GAS IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. SHUTTERS AND VIBRATES. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT ROUGHLY 30MPH, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLED DRAMATICALLY TO THE RIGHT, PRETTY MUCH AGAINST MY CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD BEEN KNOCKED OUT OF ALIGNMENT THOUGH I HADN'T HIT A BUMP. I PROCEEDED HOME, APPROXIMATELY AT 10-15 MPH. I MADE AN APPT TO MY LOCAL GARAGE AND LIMPED THERE. WHEN MY CAR WAS HOISTED ONTO THE LIFT I WAS TOLD TO COME INTO THE SERVICE AREASO THAT I COULD BE SHOWN WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SHOWED THE RIGHT CONTROL ARM AND SAID THAT IT SPLIT IN 2 AND THAT I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I WASN'T INVOLVED INA SERIOUS ROAD MISHAP. AFTER VIEWING THE PART I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAS A VARIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CONTROL ARMS ON AT LEAST 2014 ALTIMAS, WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW. I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING AND BASED UPON HOW THE VEHICLE SWERVED SO DRASTICALLY TO THE RIGHT, I AM CERTAIN THIS VEHICLE WOULD HAVE FLIPPED OVER WITH ANY SORT OF SPEED. AT 30 MPH, I WAS LUCKY TO AVOID CONTACT WITH PEDESTRIANS OR OBJECTS. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE REP WAS MORE INTERESTED IN INFORMING ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED ABOUT THIS PART BREAKING APART. I HAVE KEPT WHAT REMAINS OF THE PART. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER. I AM CERTAINLY AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN LATE 2013. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS WE HAVE HAD DIMNESS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. HAVE CHANGED BULBS FOR BOTH SIDES WITH NO SUCCESS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. LIGHTS REMAIN DANGEROUSLY DIM... SO MUCH SO THAT WE NEED TO USE THE BRIGHTS TO SEE AT NIGHT. READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE ON THE ALTIMA WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

DESPITE REPLACING THE BULBS AND EVEN TRYING HID LIGHT BULBS FOR THE CAR, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO THE HEADLIGHTS BEING SO DIM. YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO DRIVE WITH YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS (HIGH BEAMS) ON IN ORDER TO SEE MORE THAN A FEW FEET AHEAD OF YOU AS YOU DRIVE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POSES RISK NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE WITHOUT DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS ON, BUT ALSO TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEING SUBJECTED TO BLINDING LIGHTS IN THEIR EYES.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON IN MY DASH. WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER TO FIND OUT AN OLD CODE B0020-13 WAS DETECTED. THEY FOUND EVERYTHING TO BE FINE, SO THEY RESET THE CODE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON TWO DAYS LATER, AND THE SAME CODE CAME ON AGAIN. THEY RECOMMENDED A REPLACEMENT OF THE SIDE AIR BAG MODULE UNDER THE DRIVER SEAT TO REPAIR THE CONCERN. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $1600 FOR PARTS AND LABOR, AND WHAT'S WORSE, THE SOP PART IS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO ETA. SO I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO, AND IF THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE? HE SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR, BUT THE PART IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE ANY WHERE IN THE UNITED STATES? WHAT KIND OF GARBAGE IS THAT? THEY OFFERED ME NO SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM, AND I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER CAR TO DRIVE, AND THEY CAN'T EVEN TELL ME WHEN THE PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE???? DOES THIS MEAN THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A PROBLEM ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BECAUSE WHY DON'T THEY HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!! IF I WERE TO GET IN A ACCIDENT, THEN THE SIDE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY!!

WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING. WE TURNED IT ON IN THE MORNING AND IT CAME UP. WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS AT FIRST UNTIL MY HUSBAND FRIEND INFORMED IT THAT IT WAS THE AIR BAG ABOUT 2 DAYS LATER WHEN HE SENT HIM A PICTURE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE ENGINE CHANGED TO LOW GEAR AND HAD TO PULL OVER ...IT SHAKES AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATE...'...LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON THIS CAR..CONTINUES TO SHUDDER AND STALL. NISSAN IS NOT WANTING TO DO ANYTHING ..THERE HAS BEEN BULLETINS ON 2014 NISSAN ALTIMAS AND EVEN REPAIRS DONE IN OTHER STATES WHERE NISSAN PAID FOR SERVICE.. THE DEALERSHIP RESET BUT SAID THE TRANSMISSION WILL ONLY GET WORSE . CVT

THE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAMS WERE VERY DIM. I REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. ABOUT 1/3 OF THE REFLECTIVE SURFACE INSIDE THE PROJECTOR WAS BURN OFF AND PARTS WERE CRACKED FROM THE HEAT OF THE HEAD LAMP. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SO DIM AT TIMES IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR. THE DEALER WANTED ABOUT $1000.00 TO REPAIR AS BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THE GENUINE NISSAN PARTS FOR ABOUT HALF THAT PRICE AND I DID IT MYSELF.

SUDDENLY 3 OF THE 4 DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, CAUSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION THAT 3 PEOPLE CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IN THE CASE OF A COLLISION OR VEHICLE FIRE!

VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THEN SHUTS DOWN. ON OCCASION WILL NOT RE ENGAGE INTO GEAR WITHOUT SHUTTING DOWN AND THEN MUST BE TOWED( TWICE HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A ROAD, NEEDING TO BE TOWED). GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. NISSAN DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE.

DON'T HAVE TO REALLY SAY MUCH BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL OVER THE INTERNET BUT THAT TRANSMISSION IS A PIECE OF JUNK!! IT WAS SLIPPING REPEATEDLY FROM AROUND 50,000-104,000 WHEN I GOT RID OF IT. IT WOULD ALSO STALL OUT (YES ON A CVT) FROM TIME TO TIME IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT GOT TO A POINT THAT I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO BE STUCK WITH A CAR WITH NO RESALE VALVE (BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION) AND OWE A $14,000 PAYOFF BALANCE WITH THE BANK. SO I TRADED IT IN AND GOT A F-150.I BELIEVE ALL JATCO TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD GO UNDER AN INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR AMERICAN ROADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED, THE ENGINE REVVED, AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE ENGINE LOST POWER WHEN THE VEHICLE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ALSO, THE "M6" MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE CODES APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000. *TR*JB

THE CAR STALLED AND SHUT ITSELF DOWN WHEN STOPPED AT RED SIGNAL LIGHT. CAR WAS ABLE TO START BUT KEPT STALLING AND SHUTTING ITSELF DOWN AS SOON AS THE CAR WAS PUT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE OR DRIVE SPORT.

LACH IN HOOD DOESN'T WORK AND I'M SCARED IT WILL OPEN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER MANIFOLD IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY (ENGINE LIGHT ON)

THE HALOGEN PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM AS TIME GOES ON AND NEW BULBS DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS REPORT THIS SAME ISSUE AND I SUSPECT THAT THE BOWL WITH REFLECTIVE COATING ON THE PROJECTORS IS BAD. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND CAN ONLY ILLUMINATE LESS THAN 100 FEET. THE HIGH BEAMS DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE AS THEY ARE ONLY HALOGEN BULBS AND NOT PROJECTORS. ONE MUST DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON TO SAFELY SEE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON DARK STREETS AND THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR SURROUNDING DRIVERS EITHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HOOD UNLATCHED AND STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD, CAUSING THE GLASS TO CRACK. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE WAS DENTED INWARD. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT TIED THE HOOD DOWN AND DROVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. UPON RESEARCH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V029000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

TRANSMISSON ABRUPTLY STALLING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY STOP OR RED LIGHT

MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON JUST TO SEE AT NIGHT. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS TWICE WITH LED AND HID AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018. SINCE THE PURCHASE, MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE MADE ME RUN COMPLETELY OFF OF THE ROAD ONCE AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SEVERELY DIM; ALMOST NON-EXISTENT LOW BEAMS. THEREFORE I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE AT NIGHT USING ONLY MY HIGH BEAMS BECAUSE AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4, I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE OR REPAIR ENTIRE ASSEMBLE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS A COUPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC AT LOCAL PARTS STORE THAT THE "PROJECTOR" HAS OBVIOUSLY GONE OUT AND THAT ALL ALTIMA WITH THAT TYPE OF LIGHTS EXPERIENCE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP ME.

WHINING TRANSMISSION OCCURS AT HIGH SPEEDS

HEADLIGHT COVERS---FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM (LOW LIGHT) THAT YOU CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO CHANGE THE BULBS TO STRONGER BULBS TWICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS THE LIGHT COVER, IT DOES NOT ALLOW LIGHT THROUGH. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHEN YOU ARE NOT IN A CITY OR LIT UP TOWN, I DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON WHICH IS ALSO NOT SAFE FOR OTHER DRIVERS. :(

FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG DOES NOT ALWAYS ACTIVATE WHEN A PASSENGER IS PRESENT. SYSTEM DOES NOT SO THIS VIN AS PART OF PREVIOUS RECALLS, BUT THE CURRENT SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY LIKE PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM.

PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR STAYS LIT INDICATING AIR BAG IS NOT OPERATIONAL EVEN THOUGH AN ADULT IS OCCUPYING THE PASSENGER SEAT.

I CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT USING THE DIM LIGHTS. I HAVE CHANGED THEM 3 TIMES, AND PUT THE MOST EXPENSIVE/POWERFUL/BRIGHTEST LIGHTS I COULD BUY, AND PAID MECHANICS 3 TIMES TO CHANGE THEM (YOU HAVE TO GO UP THROUGH THE WHEEL WELL SKIRTING), AND THE BRIGHTNESS I GET IS LIKE CANDLE LIGHT. I TRY NOT TO EVER HAVE TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT.

OUR 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA BEGAN EXPERIENCING A DETERIORATION OF IT'S HEADLIGHTS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. AT PRESENT, UNLESS THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON, THE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AT ALL. DRIVERS ARE FORCED TO EITHER USE HIGH BEAMS, WHICH MAY BLIND OR BOTHER ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR BE LEFT WITH NO EFFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS IF ON LOW BEAM.

CAR SHAKING COMING TO A STOP THEN CUT OFF

WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR STARTED GRINDING AS IF THE ENGINE WANTED TO SHUT DOWN OR THE TRANSMISSION I WAS GETTING READY TO GET ON THE FREEWAY AND I COULD BARELY MOVE IT WAS IN GEAR IT WOULDN'T DO IT IN LOW GEAR EITHER I WILL COME TO A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT HOME WHICH WAS 5 MILES AWAY, AND IT WOULD JUST BARELY INCH OUT SOMETIMES IT WON'T EVEN START FOR ABOUT 45 SECONDS TO A MINUTE TO GO INTO DRIVE AND THE RPMS AT 25 MILES AN HOUR WOULD HIT UP TO FIVE RPM'S THE WHOLE TIME DRIVING,I TAKE REALLY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR IN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT OK AND THEN I STARTED LOOKING UP THAT THIS IS COMMON IN MY CAR SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANY RECALLS? IT ALL STARTS AT 70,000 MILES BUT THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR THAT BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE YOUR WARRANTY IS UP TO 60,000 MILES WHICH IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS GOING TO GO OUT AFTER 60,000 MILES, ANYWAY I BARELY GOT MY CAR BACK TO MY HOME AND I HAVE A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND IT'S GOING TO COST ME ALMOST $4500 TO GET MY TRANSMISSION FIXED, AND I STILL OWE 16,000 ON IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR NISSAN ULTIMA'S BUT LOOKING UP ONLINE MINE IS NOT THE FIRST ONE THAT THIS IS HAPPENED TO SO THEREFORE SINCE I CAN'T DRIVE A CAR BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY ALL THAT MONEY, AND THEN I ALSO AM OUT OF WORK BECAUSE I NEED A CAR TO DRIVE BACK-AND-FORTH, I AM GOING TO FIND AN ATTORNEY THAT WILL DO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST YOU GUYS FOR THE VEHICLES DOING THIS! WHAT

ON OCCASION WHEN PASSENGER ENTERS VEHICLE, AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT GO OUT GIVING THE APPEARANCE THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT THINK A PASSENGER IS IN THE VEHICLE. TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN PASSENGER IS ENTERING VEHICLE AT THE SAME TIME THE VEHICLE IS BEING STARTED. CAN USUALLY BE 'RESOLVED' BY TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND ON AGAIN. HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES.

CURTAIN SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON; SOMETIMES IT TURNS OFF BUT THEN IT TURNS ON.
