2014 Nissan Altima complaints

HEADLAMPS ARE DIMMING AND NIGHT TIME DRIVING REQUIRES THE USE OF HIGH BEAMS. DEALER STATED THAT IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMPS. VEHICLE HAS 52,600 MILES. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT GOOD ILLUMINATED VISIBILITY.

WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH ON A PAVED ROAD AND HOOD UNLATCHED AND FLEW UP TO WINDSHIELD. CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS IN A REPAIR SHOP .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE USED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF LAS CRUCES (1801 S MAIN ST, LAS CRUCES, NM 88005, 575-523-5571). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE SO DIM YOU CAN BARELY SEE. I CHANGED THE BULBS OUT TO A BRIGHTER AFTERMARKET LED BULB AND THE DIFFERENCE IS MINIMAL AT BEST. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE STILL VERY BRIGHT BUT THEY ARE NOT THE PROJECTION STYLE. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC I MUST KEEP THE FOG LIGHTS ONTO LIGHT UP THE ROAD. THE ILLUMINATION IS SO POOR THAT SECURITY LIGHTS THAT ARE OVER PEOPLE'S DRIVEWAYS ARE BRIGHTER THAN THE HEADLIGHTS AND DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN IS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE ON LOW BEAM. I'VE TALKED TO A NISSAN MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ONLY TRUE FIX WILL BE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THEIR ARE ISSUES WITH THE MATERIALS BREAKING DOWN INSIDE THE PROJECTOR PORTION OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. IF THAT'S THE CASE NISSAN HAS DONE A POOR JOB OF DESIGNING THEIR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT THEIR COST AS THIS IS A VERY REAL HAZARD. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE MECHANIC I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED ISSUE, EVIDENTLY IT'S ALL ALTIMAS FROM 2013-2015 THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.

HEADLAMPS ARE VERY DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. CONTROL ARMS ARE LOOSE, I'M GUESSING THE RESULT OF THE 2 FLAPS ON EACH SIDE.UNDERNEATH THE CAR KEEPS COMING LOOSE EVEN AFTER REPLACING PLASTIC SCREWS. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED.

ISSUE WITH HEADLIGHTS BEING TOO DIM AND UNABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. POLICE HAS STOPPED ME AND CONFIRMED THAT DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE DIM LIGHT MAKE IT NOT STREET LEGAL. NISSAN DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX AND ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WAY TOO QUICKLY, BECOME UNSAFE DUE TO WELL KNOWN FAULTY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. FAULTY PART MAY BE CALLED "REFLECTOR". LIGHT OUTPUT QUALITY IS NOT SAFE! NEITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT HEADLIGHT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS A WELL KNOW ISSUE! YET, NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL??? HOWEVER, THIS NISSAN MANUFACTURE WELL KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT WILL BE FIXED THROUGH NISSAN FOR THE OBSCENE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1000. DISGUSTING, SAD, AND UNACCEPTABLE! AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE ARE MANY, MANY DRIVERS, MYSELF INCLUDED, THAT HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE HIGH AMOUNT OF CUSTOMERS HAVING TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT?? I PURCHASED NEW HIGH QUALITY REPLACEMENT BULBS, HAD HEADLIGHTS RE-AIMED, AND HAD HEADLIGHT COVERS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED. NOTHING HELPED!! AFTER RESEARCHING, IT APPEARS THE WELL KNOW ISSUE IS A FAULTY PART ENCLOSED INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE IT IS CALLED A "REFLECTOR"? I HAVE WASTED $200 FOR NEW BULBS, RE-AIMING, AND HAVING LENSES CLEANED. THIS AGAIN, IS FLAT OUT DISGUSTING. HAD NISSAN INFORMED ME OF THIS DEFECT, I WOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY. I ALSO SUFFERED SEVERE FRUSTRATION WHEN ALL THAT I TRIED DID NOT HELP. ALL THE WHILE NISSAN KNEW I WAS WASTING MY TIME, MONEY, AND WELL BEING. PLEASE HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE. A LESS VIGILANT DRIVER MAY NOT REALIZE THE DANGEROUS SITUATION THE

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE TOO LOW. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. I RECENTLY HAD THE LIGHTS REPLACED AS THEY HAD BLEW OUT. THE REPLACEMENT LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY LIGHT. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I OFTEN TIMES HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND TURN BACK ON AS IT APPEARS TO NOT BE ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. 2014 VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE LOW BEAM ISSUES AS THE CAR DOES.

I HAVE VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS. I'VE TRIED LED'S AND THE BEST HALOGENS. I'VE CLEANED INSIDE OF THE PROJECTORS, BUT IN A DAY OR TWO, THE PROJECTORS CLOUDS UP AGAIN. CALLED NISSAN, AND THE WOULD MAYBE GIVE 300 BUCKS AGAINST 1500 TO 1800. OR I COULD DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BRIGHTS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. *DT*JB MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED *JB

HAVE HAD JERKING AND SHUDDERING PROBLEMS WHILE TRYING TO EXCEL, SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR IN 2016. AT THAT TIME IT HAD APPROX.24,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEALERSHIP TOOK CARE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I JUST RECENTLY TOOK IT BACK AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE THE CAR HAD NO POWER WHEN TRYING TO EXCEL ONTO THE HIGHWAY ,AND WAS VERY HESITANT AND UNSAFE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED! THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT ,WHICH LEAVES ME VERY CONCERNED, AND WITH MY WARRANTY ALMOST UP. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I SEE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, THAT I CONSIDER STILL NEW.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE DIM OVER TIME. LIGHTS ARE DIM ALL THE TIME, NOT RELATED TO IDLE OR OTHER FUNCTIONS. MILEAGE IS 72. 000 MILES. NIGHT DRIVING IS HAZARDOUS. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE LIGHTING ONLY A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR, NOT ILLUMINATING TRAFFIC SIGNS, DIFFICULTY WHEN MAKING TURNS AT A CORNER OR DRIVEWAY. I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT, THE HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE BUT ARE A HAZARD FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

AFTER DRIVING CAR FOR 173000 MILES WITH NO TROUBLE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT IT,S LIKE COMPLETEFAILUREWITH ABSOLUTELY NO MOVEMENT NOW

NIGHT TIME DRIVING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, LOW BEAMS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. IT'S LIKE DRIVING WITH PARKING LIGHTS ON, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

DISCOVERED THE INADEQUATELY POOR LOW-BEAM ILLUMINATION LEVEL IN 2017 WHEN I HAD TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS-SIDE HEADLAMP. NOTICED THE BEAM DID NOT LIGHT UP ON MY SHIRT WHEN STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THE PASSENGER SIDE LAMP DID. NOT GREATLY, BUT THERE WAS A BEAM ON MY SHIRT. REPLACED THE LOW-BEAM LAMP AGAIN AND DID BOTH SIDES AND THE PROBLEM WITH POOR ILLUMINATION CONTINUED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. AT THIS POINT MY 2014 MODEL WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I HAD STARTED USING MY HIGH-BEAM LIGHTS AT NIGHT AND LIVED WITH IT. THEN DISCOVERED MY CAR WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE AND DECIDED TO SUBMIT THIS NHTSA COMPLAINT.

DIM FRONT LIGHT

THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION ISSUE I'VE HAD IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING IN FEBRUARY AND STOPPED ON ME WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING TO ALERT ME OF AN ISSUE. NOW THE CAR WILL HESITATE SEVERLY BEFORE SHIFTING GEARS. IF I TAKE THE CARE OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, IT TAKES UPWARDS OF 30 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO ENGAGE INTO THAT GEAR. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT HOME AND AT GROCERY STORES DUE TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION WHICH I'M NOW BEING TOLD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE RANDOM MOMENTS OF SHAKING AND EVEN FEELING AS IF THE CAR HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THERE HAVE BEEN NO INDICATOR LIGHTS REGARDING ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR THE CAR IS LESS THAN 5YRS OLD AND IS A LITTLE OVER 100K MILES I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES NOW FOR ABOUT ALMOST A YEAR.

HEADLIGHTS GRADUALLY WENT DIM OVER TIME TO POINT OF BEING UNUSABLE. NEED TO USE HIGH BEAMS. REPLACING BULBS DOES NOT HELP. SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT GET HIT WITH HIGH BEAMS.

AT 53,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION.TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED.AT ABOUT 130,000 MILES I NOTICE THAT WHEN HEADLIGHTS WERE ON LOW BEAM YOU COULD BARELY SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT TIME.SO I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THI VEHICLE WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS ON NISSAN ALTIMAS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2013 -2015 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.YOU DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT LIGHTING ON LOW BEAM.YOU HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAM ON DARK ROADS.THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES.I HAVE HAD THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY LOCAL AREA NEW PORT RICHEY PUT IN THE EXACT BULBS CAR CAME WITH FROM FACTORY SAME ISSUE POOR LIGHTING ON LOW BEAM.I THEN HAD NISSAN DEALERSHIP PUT IN BULBS THAT I PURCHASED ON LINE THESE BULBS PUT OUT 8000 LUMENS AND THESE BULBS ARE LED BULBS.THE FACTORY NISSAN BULBS PUT OUT 1200 LUMENS AND ARE HALOGEN BULBS.BOTH SETS OF BULBS I GOT SAME RESULT INSUFFIECIENT LIGHTING ON LOW BEAM.THE NISSAN TECHNICIAN TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AT A COST OF $700.00.I FEEL THESE HEADLIGHT LENS WERE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITHOUT QUESTION THEREFORE I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PARTS.I HAVE RECEIPTS FROM DEALERSHIP FOR WORK PERFORMED.I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AUTOLINE DEPT, AND FILED A COMPAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS.THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND GOD FORBID SOMEONE WILL LOSE THEIR LIFE OVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

THE LIGHTING ON MY CAR IS EXTREMELY DIM. I USUALLY HAVE TO RIDE WITH MY BRIGHT LIGHTS ON JUST TO SEE THE ROAD. WE TRIED CHANGING THE BULBS AND IT DID NOT HELP. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE AT NIGHT YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT SEE. IT HAPPENS ON EVERY ROAD EVERY DAY.

THE TRANSMISSION IS DELAYED ONCE IT GETS TO 2000 RPM AND IS NOT CHANGING OVER

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND DO NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. REPLACING THE BULBS MADE NO DIFFERENCE. HIGH BEAMS ARE OK.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING THE AIRBAG FOR THE DRIVER IS NO LONGER WORKING. I THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT SINCE I HAVE HEARD AND READ ONLINE THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM. SAME WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT GLITCH I HAVE READ IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW MY CAR TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHEN THAT LIGHT IS ON.

HEADLIGHT BULBS WORK BUT BOTH HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE IN NOT LIGHTING UP THE ROAD. I HAVE READ THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE BACKING IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES FAILING DUE TO HEAT FROM THE BULBS AND NOT PRODUCING PROPER LIGHTING.

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER ONLY 85,000 MILES. I WAS STOPPED AT A HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP STOP LIGHT WHEN IT FAILED.

CVT FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 90,500 MILES ON CAR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEED THEN SUDDENLY SLOWED ALMOST TO A STOP. DEALER TRIED TO PERFORM THE CVT PROGRAMMING RECALL BUT SAID TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. $4,500 TO REPLACE. ONE OWNER CAR ALL HIGHWAY MILES.

CAN'T SEE WHILE DRIVING. HEADLIGHTS AWFUL. $700 PER SIDE TO REPLACE. DEALERSHIP SAYS BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS AND SAW A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT STARTED ONLINE.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM.BULB REPLACEMENT DOES NOT HELP.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAS MALFUNCTIONED. IT DOES NOT STAY IN ITS NORMAL UPRIGHT POSITION. IT HANGS ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE WAY DOWN AND MOVES AROUND DURING TURNS, MAKING IT EVEN MORE OF A SAFETY HAZARD THAN IT ALREADY WAS BECAUSE IN AN ACCIDENT OR A HARD BRAKING SITUATION, THE DRIVER IS GOING TO HIT THEIR HEAD ON IT.

THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DIM HEADLIGHTS OF THIS 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA; IT SEEMS TO GET WORST AS THE CAR AGES TO THE POINT OF I CAN NO LONGER SEE AT NIGHT. OTHER DRIVERS STOP ME TO ASK IF I HAVE ON MY HEADLIGHTS. AS A RESULT, I HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON, WHICH COULD BE UNSAFE AND IMPACT ONCOMING DRIVER'S VISION.

COMPLAINT INVOLVING LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME HAVE BECOME DIMMER AND DIMMER. WE REPLACED THE BULBS THINKING THEY WERE BURNED OUT. IT DID NOT HELP. AT NIGHT I HAVE TO RIDE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE 1 FOOT IN FRONT OF MY CAR ON LOW BEAMS. IT'S LIKE DRIVING WITH THEM OFF. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE JULY 12, 2017. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE ENGINE REVVED, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE DEALER (CROWN NISSAN OF DECATUR, 165 W PERSHING RD, DECATUR, IL 62526, (217) 615-1047) DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER OPENED A CASE AND AGREED TO REIMBURSE THE CONTACT FOR 90% OF THE REPAIR COST. THE REPAIR WOULD CONSIST OF INSTALLING A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION COVERED BY A 12 MONTH OR 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THE RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION HAD A HISTORY OF FAILING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. *BF UPDATE 2/20/19*JB

IN MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THE LIGHTS HAVE DIMMED SO BAD YOU CAN BARELY SEE 2 FEET IN FRONT OF YOU AT NIGHT. IT MAKES IT VERY HAZARDOUS IN NIGHT AND RAINY CONDITIONS

THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS STUTTERING BETWEEN GEARS, HAS HESITATION, VIBRATIONS, AND DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER ON 11/15/2017 WITH 76K MILES AND THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I HAD THEM CHANGE THE FLUID AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORSE. THE PROBLEM GOT A LITTLE BETTER, BUT NEVER WENT AWAY. IT NEVER GENERATED A CODE FOR A SPECIFIC PROBLEM, BUT THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THINKING IT IS IN OVERDRIVE AND NOT REACTING PROPERLY. IT IS NOW A YEAR LATER AND ANOTHER 30K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL STUTTERING WITH VIBRATIONS AT EVERY SPEED AND EVEN ON CRUISE CONTROL.

AIRBAG INDICATOR STAYS ON ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON AND EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR IS IN STILL POSITION.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. HAD BULBS CHANGED AND IT IS NO BETTER AT ALL. WHEN YOU TURN ON LOW BEAM YOU CANNOT SEE 1 FT IN FRONT OF YOU AND HAVE TO BASICALLY STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TILL THE ONCOMING CAR HAS PASSED. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS !!

I UNDERSTAND AND AM EXPERIENCING A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH DIM HEADLIGHTS THAT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY ALTIMAS. THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE SO DIM NOW THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD UNDER NORMAL NIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS, AND IT IS MAGNIFIED DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. I AM ALSO VERY CONCERNED THAT I'M NOT GOING TO SEE SOMEONE CROSSING THE ROAD WHICH I ENCOUNTERED, AND LUCKILY THE PERSON HAD REACHED THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ENTER THE CROSSWALK! THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE TO ALL DRIVERS OF ALTIMAS, THEIR PASSENGERS AND PEDESTRIANS. AS I HADN'T EXPECTED THIS PROBLEM I REALLY WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION TO IT UNTIL I READ AN ARTICLE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE OF WHICH I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY IT HAS NOT YET BEEN ADDRESSED. THANKS FOR ACCEPTING MY COMPLIANT.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM, CANNOT SEE TOO FAR AHEAD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY DIM OVER TIME. BOTH LIGHT BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT IT IS LIKE DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS! I OFTEN HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON SO I CAN SEE AT NIGHT! HAVING HIGH BEAMS ON IS A DANGER FOR OTHER DRIVERS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY TO MAKE THEM FIX THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF NISSAN'S NEGLIGENCE!

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN STEADILY DETERIORATING TO THE POINT THEY HAVE BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. THE INITIAL THOUGHT THAT THE BULBS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT; HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE HEADLIGHT LENSES ARE NOT YELLOWED OR FOGGED OVER, AND THE HEADLIGHT BULBS ARE BRAND NEW HIGH-QUALITY HEADLIGHT LAMPS. THERE IS NO OTHER KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HIGH BEAM WORK WITHOUT ISSUE AND IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT TO WHERE THE HIGH-BEAMS ARE NEEDED TO SUPPLEMENT NIGHTTIME LIGHTING IN AREAS WHERE LIOW BEAMS SHOULD BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTING IS AT THE POINT TO WHERE IT IS BECOMING A HAZARD TO ME AS THE DRIVER; BUT ALSO, IS BECOMING A HAZARD TO ONCOMING DRIVERS, AS THE USE OF HIGH-BEAM LIGHTING IS BEING USED MORE FREQUENTLY. THE BRIGHNESS OF THE LOW BEAM LIGHT DOES NOT CHANGE IF THE VEHICLE IS PARKED, STANDING, OR IN MOTION, AND THE DIM LIGHTING IS MOST HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING AROUND CORNERS OR ON DARK ROADS WITHOUT STREET LIGHTING. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN SEEN BY NISSAN OR A MECHANIC BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND ESTIMATES TO INSPECT THE LIGHTING ISSUE BEGINS AT $80. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK OR INFORMATION THE NHTSA MIGHT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ON THIS AND RELATED ISSUES.

I HAVE HAD CONTINOUS TRANSMISSION SINCE I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5SL. IT WAS REPLACED IN 2015 NEW TRANSMISSION BY THE DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, AS RECENT AS MAY I HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT RESULTED IN CVT GETTING FIXED. THEN IN JULY SIMILIAR ISSUE WHICH DEALERSHIP REPORTED THERE WAS AN UPDATE NEEDED ON MY CAR, A SELONID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER SPENDING OVER 2,000 ON MY CAR IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND NOT ABLE TO ACCELARATE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS CAUSED A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NISSAN AND THE DEALERSHIP NEED TO ADDRESS. I AM REQUESTING REIMUBURSEMENT, EXTENSION OF WARRANTY, AND FOR MY TRANSMISSION CVT TO BE FIXED AND IF FURTHER ISSUES OCCUR NISSAN NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH FIXING IT.

THE LOW BEAM ON MY NISSAN IS LOWER THAN NORMAL AND IS HARD TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH THE LIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM.

HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM ARE SO DIM THAT NIGHT DRIVING IS UNSAFE. I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAMS WHICH COULD BLIND AN ONCOMING DRIVER. NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THAT I COULD REPLACE THE LENS WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. NEED TO USE HIGH BEAMS TO PROPERLY SEE THE ROAD. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY RISK FOR MYSELF, FAMILY AND OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT IT IS NOT A BULB REPLACEMENT ISSUE - BUT A LIGHT PROJECTOR ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RECALLING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHTS.

I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN ALTIMA HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON A BUSY STREET, SIMILAR TO A HIGHWAY AND IT KEPT STOPPING EVERYTIME I TRIED TO TAKE OFF. IT WOULD DRIVE AND TURN OFF I WOULD HAVE TO CRANK IT BACK UP AND IT WOULD DRIVE A BIT AND THEN ABRUPTLY TURN BACK OFF. I TOOK IT BACK THAT SAME DAY AND WAS ASSURED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE NEXT MONTH I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ON MY WAY TO WORK AND AS I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN IT PULLED OFF A BIT AND JUST TURNED OFF AND WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. I LATER FOUND OUT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RUN SINCE APRIL

TRANSMISSION ISSUES RELATED TO CVT TRANSMISSION. CAUSES CAR TO STALL OR SIGNIFICANTLY DELAY WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS. KNOWN ISSUE BUT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER WITHOUT A 'DIAGNOSIS' WHICH IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO GET AS THE PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT BUT INTERMITTENT. WAS TOLD ONLY WAY TO FIX THE WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITHOUT A SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS ON MY VEHICLE IS IF THERE IS AN NTSB RECALL. GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT RISK ASSOCIATED WITH A CAR THAT STALLS WHEN YOU ARE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, I WOULD LIKE THE NTSB TO BE AWARE OF THIS AND DETERMINE IF THE RISK TO THE CONSUMER OUTWEIGHS THE COST TO THE MANUFACTURER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED, THE LIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BULBS WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (AUTO LENDERS, 6201 BLACK HORSE PIKE, EGG HARBOR TWP, NJ 08234, 888-305-5968) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A MINOR ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

POOR VISIBILITY: WHEN SUNLIGHT OR ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS STRIKES THE WINDSHIELD AT ABOUT 40 TO 60 DEGREES, IT PREVENTS GOOD VISIBILITY, SPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING MY GARAGE. THE PROBLEM BECOMES WORSE AND UNDER RAINY-FOGGY CONDITIONS. MAKING VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AND THE SIGNS, SPITE OF USING THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS AND THE DEFOGGER TO THE MAX. I WENT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM; I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD. I SENT A LETTER ON 7/24/16 TO NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA TO NOTIFY THEM OF THIS PROBLEM. NO WRITTEN RESPONSE GIVEN; A CLERK OR SECRETARY CALLED ME TO TELL ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME AGAIN THERE IN NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD. ON AUGUST 30TH, 2016 WHILE DRIVING WITH 2 PASSENGERS, THE POOR VISIBILITY OF THE WINDSHIELD PUT US IN SERIOUS RISK OF CRASH AT AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS IMMEDIATE CORRECTION, BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED FINE, BUT OVER TIME I NOTICED THEY WERE GETTING DIM, AND NOW I CAN HARDLY TELL THE LOW BEAMS ARE EVEN ON, THE HIGH BEAMS SEEM TO WORK JUST FINE. SO I TRIED CHANGING THE BULBS FOR LOW BEAMS AND IT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THEY FAIL ALL TOGETHER AND SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN KILLED.
