2014 Nissan Altima complaints

While driving my car the component snapped/popped and caused me to lose control of my car and crashing into a curb in front of a pole. No warning lights came on prior to this happening. I have reached out to the manufacturer with no satisfactorily acceptable resolution. Currently I am in the hospital. The police was on the scene and the vehicle was towed to my residence due to being inoperable. I am physically, mentally and emotionally affected by this matter. Consumer stated she noticed a campaign but not a recall and her VIN was not included.

On 5/17/21 I had just left Walmart in Abington on my way to pickup my glasses. After picking up my glasses i felt wobble in the driver's side rear tire. I pulled over on Pine St. and checked the lug nuts on each wheel. Everything seemed okay. I then noticed a traction sign on the dashboard. I put on my hazard lights and drove home approximately a mile or two. When I got home I backed the car up and when I got out I notices the rear wheel drivers side bending inward at the top. I had Westgate Towing tow it after approved by AAA to Bourne's Auto for repair where i had bought the car and purchased a repair/warranty contract. Nothing was covered. No rental for a week. Paid almost $911.47 for the repair. Worried it could happen on other side. Diagnosis: Left Rear Lower Control Arm & Lateral Arm and Alignment needed.

While turning onto the entrance ramp to the highway, the lower rear control arm on the passenger side cracked and separated from the rest of the vehicle. The only thing holding the wheel on to the vehicle was a suspension coil. Steering and control of the vehicle became intermittent and I had no idea what was happening. I was driving with my pregnant daughter in the passenger seat. The "slippery road" warning light appeared on the dashboard but no other warnings or alerts. We were not injured. The vehicle was towed to our automotive repair shop. The auto repair noted that they had fixed this issue on Nissan Altima in the past and the repair was covered by Nissan. The nissanassist website states there is "a service campaign in states with high road salt usage to replace the rear suspension lower link. On some affected vehicles, and under severe corrosion conditions, one of the rear lower suspension links may corrode and separate at the bushing joint area". I live in Buffalo, NY area which is a high-salt state. Nissan will not cover this repair ($1146.57 includes NYS taxes) because the campaign does not include my VIN and was for 2013 models; my vehicle is 2014. The auto repair shop told us that the lower control arm in my 2014 vehicle was a 2013 part, so it was subject to the same defect that prompted the 2013 recall. Nissan refuses any assistance with this repair and says the VIN number is not included on the lower suspension link repair. If this type of corrosion in a high s

When the car is at a complete stop and the light turns green and it’s time to go it has a small delay for about 4-6 seconds where the car won’t move. It picks up after those 4-6 seconds. Once you turn off the car it resets itself but later on through the day it happens again . It happens to me about 2 times a day. It’s extremely scary when you’re in traffic and your car Just sits there because you can’t go.

The low beam lights offer NO light, which is extremely dangerous when driving at night and also in hazardous weather conditions. I can't see the road at all and am forced to use my high-beams. I have replaced the bulbs at least twice now and still no improvement. It is a critical issue Nissan needs to address because you can't see the road, other cars, wildlife, etc. They are putting everyone who has this model in life-threatening danger.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING.. REPLACED CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, REPLACED THROTTLE BODY, SPARK PLUGS, SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING 20 MPH, SHE STARTED LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE STARTED WOBBLING. AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO WOBBLE, HIS WIFE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND DISCOVERED THAT THE LOWER PASSENGER'S SIDE CONTROL ARM HAD FRACTURED AND DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED HOSELTON NISSAN (66 MARSH RD, EAST ROCHESTER, NY 14445, (585) 385-3560) AND WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE DEALER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONTACT DECLINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED RANDOM ISSUES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD FAIL TO EXCEED 2 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WITH AN ABNORMAL SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED FOR THE COMPUTER TO REBOOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER CITING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY COVERAGE TO 7 YEARS OR 84,000 MILES. O'NEIL NISSAN (849 STREET RD, WARMINSTER, PA 189740) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO DTC CODES RETRIEVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. A FIELD TECHNICIAN WAS SENT TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE FIELD TECHNICIAN HAD NOT SHOWN UP TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. MONTGOMERYVILLE NISSAN (991 BETHLEHEM PIKE, MONTGOMERYVILLE, PA 18936) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT NO FAILURE CODES WERE RETRIEVED. BOTH DEALERS INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT OTHER NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS HAD REPORTED THE SAME ISSUES HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER HAD NO REMEDY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,665.

THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM SEPARATED FROM THE REAR SUBFRAME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ~50 MPH. THE FAILURE AT ~50MPH COULD EASILY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SINCE THE REAR WHEEL IS NO LONGER FULLY CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE. THE STRESS OF ONE CONTROL ARM FAILING COULD RESULT IN THE OTHER FAILING AT THE SAME TIME IF THE CORROSION PROGRESSES EVENLY ON BOTH SIDES. THE 2013 MODEL ALTIMA IS COVERED UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN TO HAVE THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACED AT NO COST DUE TO THE RISK OF FAILURE. THE SAME FAILURE OBVIOUSLY OCCURS ON THE 2014 MODELS BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT SERVICE BULLETIN. THE FAILURE IS CAUSED BY CORROSION AT THE CONNECTION TO THE REAR SUBFRAME.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR YESTERDAY, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED. LUCKILY I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS COMING UP THE RAMP TO GET TO THE FREE WAY WHICH WAS A CURVE AND I HEARD A NOISE AND BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE UNTIL I STOPPED. I AM SURE RUST CONTRIBUTED TO IT BUT MY MECHANIC WAS HE'D NEVER SEEN IT HAPPEN LIKE THAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING UP THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SHORTLY AFTERWARDS FIRE WAS COMING OUT OF FRONT HOOD. THE FIRE MARSHALS WERE CALLED, THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL POLICE TOW LOT WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BEING DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY NISSAN IS A 2014 AND ONLY HAD 59,000 MILES ON IT. MY TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY SHOT AND THIS IS UNHEARD OF. IT'S A CVT MADE FROM NISSAN AND THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS SITUATION SO NOW I AM OUT $2600-$4100 BECAUSE NISSAN HAS DECIDED IT DOES NOT WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND CREATE A RECALL.

REFERENCE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 20V-315. THIS WAS POSTED ON MAY 20, 2020 AND THE STATUS IS STILL SHOWING RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. I BELIEVE THAT AFTER 11 MONTHS SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED WITH THE OWNERS.

THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED AT THE POC BUSHING WHILE DRIVING AROUND 20MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN TOW LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED WEST HERR NISSAN OF ORCHARD PARK (3580 SOUTHWESTERN BLVD, ORCHARD PARK, NY 14127, (716) 954-8992) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000.

THE RIGHT REAR LOWER LINK OF MY 2014 ALTIMA COMPLETELY FAILED DUE TO RUST, LIKELY CAUSED BY ROAD SALT. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF A STATE ROAD WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND PARTIALLY LOST STEERING CONTROL. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, I LIKELY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED, INJURING ME AND MY SON. NISSAN HAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT ONLY APPLIES TO 2013 MODELS. NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR AFTER PLEADING MY CASE AND HAD NO RATIONAL EXPLANATION FOR WHY NOT.

VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP IN THE LANE I'M DRIVING IN FEELS LIKE I'M ABOUT TO BE BLOWN OFF THE ROAD I'VE REPLACED THE TIE RODS THE HUBS THE TIRES HAD MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS BUT FEELS LIKE THE SUSPENSION HAS FAILED SOME WHERE OR THE STEERING FAILED SOMETHING IS THERE IS VIBRATION IN THE WHEEL FEELS LIKE ITS SLIPPING OR HESITATION THERE'S A ITS TO THE POINT I'M GETTING SCARED TO DRIVE IT ALMOST LIKE THE FRAME IS SEPARATED OR SEPARATING SOMEWHERE DOESN'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE FEELS UNSTABLE AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS IT ALMOST TO THE POINT I WANNA JIST JUNK THE [XXX] THING CAUSE NO MATTER WHAT I HAVE DONE OR DO TO IT MYSELF IT NEVER GETS BETTER PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE LIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. THEY DO NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD AT ALL CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS ENDANGERS THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL.

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT AND RUN AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*DT

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2013-2015 ALTIMAS. THE HEADLAMP PROJECTOR BOWLS DETERIORATE AND DO NOT PROJECT THE LIGHT CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE EXPENSIVE BULBS TWICE WITH BRIGHTER BULBS AND THIS DID NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!!!

REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM RUSTED AND BROKEN WHILE IN MOTION. LOSS OF STEERING AS WELL AS DRIVEABILITY BEYOND 10MPH

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAMS DO NOT LIGHT UP THE AREA ENOUGH TO SEE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, SHE BECAME AWARE THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROWN NISSAN OF GREENSBORO (3900 W WENDOVER AVE, GREENSBORO, NC 27407) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE, AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,270.

MY WIFE AND I STARTED TO NOTICE THE DIMNESS OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT IT BECAME MORE APPARENT WHEN WE DROVE THROUGH SOME BACK COUNTRY WITH WINDING ROADS FOR A WEEKEND GETAWAY WITH THE FAMILY. IT WAS STRESSFUL, SCARY AT TIMES AND OBVIOUSLY A HAZARD. I PRETTY MUCH HAD TO KEEP MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR THE WHOLE STRETCH OF THE DARK ROADS ESPECIALLY ON SHARP AND BLIND TURNS. SINCE THAT EXPERIENCE, WE TRY TO STEER CLEAR OF TAKING TRIPS IN THE EVENING... BUT EVEN NOW ON REGULAR ROUTINE DRIVES ON FREEWAYS OR EVEN PULLING UP TO MY COURT THE DIM BEAMS ARE MORE OBVIOUS THAN EVER. I WENT TO GET MY OIL CHANGE SERVICE DONE TODAY, AND MENTIONED MY ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS AND INQUIRED ABOUT REPLACEMENTS. THEY SUGGESTED RUNNING A DIAGNOSTIC TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE BUT IT WOULD COST $375 OR SOMETHING JUST TO DO THAT... I MENTIONED THAT THEY RECENTLY DID A DIAGNOSTIC (THAT I PAID FOR WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ANOTHER CONCERN I HAD WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT GOING AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND, JUST NEEDED TO TOP OFF THE BRAKE FLUID) SO I PASSED ON IT... I THEN INQUIRED ABOUT REPLACEMENTS AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE ABOUT $400 TO REPLACE BOTH SIDES. FROM THAT POINT I GOOGLED COST TO COMPARE AND CAME ACROSS ARTICLES, FORUMS THAT BROUGHT TO LIGHT THAT I WASN'T ALONE WITH MY CONCERN AND ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. AND SOME COMMENTS MENTIONED REPLACEMENTS SUCH AS HID OR LED DIDN'T DO MUCH TO HELP THE DIM BEAM. I AM NOT SURE NOW IF I WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO REPLACE OR KEEP GOOGLING ON WAYS TO HELP FIX THE PR

AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 10MPH, THE CAR FELT LIKE THE CAR LOST ALIGNMENT AND REQUIRED A SIGNIFICANT RIGHTWARD TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL (BETWEEN 1 AND 2 O'CLOCK) TO MAINTAIN POSITION IN THE LANE. ADDITIONALLY, AMBER ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILITY CONTROL WARNING MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. AS I WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM HOME, I PROCEEDED THERE ON SIDE STREETS, KEEPING SPEED BELOW 20 MPH. I PARKED ON THE STREET, AND FOUND THE LEFT REAR WHEEL TILTED NOTICEABLY INWARD AND WITH LESS CLEARANCE IN THE WHEEL ARCH. LOOKING UNDER THE CAR, I SAW THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKEN AT THE PIVOT POINT WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE CHASSIS.

THE HOOD FLEW OPEN WHILE TRAVELING ON A STATE NUMBERED ROUTE APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH. WE WERE BLESSED THAT IT DIDN'T CAUSE A WRECK WITH INJURIES. THIS IS COMMON FROM WHAT I HAVE DISCOVERED, YET NO REMEDY. I HATE THIS FACT BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE MANUFACTURER IS SIMPLY WAITING FOR ALL WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE TO PHASE OUT, SELL, AND MOVE ON. WE WILL DO THIS, TRADE TOWARDS ANOTHER MAKE FOREVER. NO NISSANS NO MORE NEVER. THANKS FOR NOTHING NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE THAT REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SUSPENSION SPRING AND AXLE WERE SEVERELY RUSTED, CAUSING THE TIRE TO TURN INWARDS WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE 5 MPH TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PARKED AT HIS PARENT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE THAT THE REAR AXLE AND SPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

WAS BACKING OUT DRIVEWAY, HEARD NOISE, STOPOED, GOT OUT OF VEHICLE, FOUND REAR PASSENGER WHEEL CAVED IN

REAR PASSENGER CONTROL ARM BROKE AT ATTACHMENT TO CAR BODY. ONE HALF OF THE WELD SHOWS CRACK AND PRIOR CORROSION. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND NOTICED HANDLING ISSUES AND CAR SAGGING ON PASSENGER SIDE. I PULLED OFF TO A SIDE STREET AND DROVE LOCAL STREETS THE 4 MILES TO MY HOME. CONTROL ARM BROKE IN MY DRIVEWAY AS I WAS BACKING UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RPM DECREASED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AND SHUT-OFF WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FONTANA NISSAN (16444 S. HIGHLAND AVE, FONTANA, CA 92336, (909) 574-2288) WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHCILE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO HAVING A SALVAGE TITLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE DEALERS WERE INDEPENDENTLY OWNED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

THE RIGHT PASSENGER CONTROL ARM COMPLETELY CORRODED AND BROKE COMPLETELY SEPARATING FROM WHEEL

IN THE EVENING OF FEBRUARY 2ND 2021. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME ON COUNTY ROAD 12 (AT A SPEED OF AROUND 50MPH) NEAR LONG LAKE, MN. SHE HEAR A LOUD SOUND AND THE CAR BECAME MORE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. THANKFULLY THERE WAS AN EXIT THAT SHE COULD TAKE AND SHE STOPPED THE CAR AS SOON AS THIS WAS SAFE TO DO. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD THE CAR PICKED UP BY AAA AND TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER (WALSER IN WAYZATA, MN). THEY DIAGNOSED THAT ONE OF THE REAR CONTROL ARMS HAD CORRODED AND COLLAPSED, WHILE THE OTHER SIDE CONTROL ARM WAS CORRODED AND NEAR COLLAPSE. BOTH WERE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1,700. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND NOTICED THAT THIS ISSUE WAS SUBJECT OF A RECALL FOR CARS UP TO MODEL YEAR 2013 (IN THE US) AND UP TO 2014 IN CANADA), RECALL REFERENCE P9324 AND THAT WITH EFFECT FROM MODEL YEAR 2018, THE MANUFACTURER HAD CHANGED THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CONTROL ARMS AND THAT THIS WAS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT. REPORTED TO NISSAN, CASE REPORT # 430 217 02, WHO WERE NOT HELPFUL. UPLOADING DEALER INVOICE AND SEVERAL IMAGES OF THE AFFECTED PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AND VEERING TO THE RIGHT. THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE CONTROL ARM HAD DETERIORATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MIKE BARNEY NISSAN (3676 SHERIDAN DR, AMHERST, NY 14226, (716) 833-9888) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE POOR. NISSAN INSTALL A BRAND NEW SET OF LIGHTS AND I CAN'T SEE BUT 5 FEET IN FRONT OF MY CAR AT NIGHT. THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED IS TERRIBLE. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM. THEY KNEW IT BEFORE THEY TOOK MY $130 TO REPLACE WITH LIHGHTS THAT DID ME NO GOOD. I USE HIGH BEAMS MOSTLY.

LOWER REAR CONTROL ARM ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SEPARATED WHILE DRIVING DUE TO CORROSION. I LIVE IN WISCONSIN WHERE SALT IS USED TO CLEAR SNOW. I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE ON A FREEWAY.

I RECENTLY TOOK MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA IN FOR NEW SHOCKS AND STRUTS TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. WHEN THE MECHANIC COMPLETED THE WORK ON THE SHOCKS AND STRUTS HE COMPLETED AN INSPECTION OF OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS CRACKED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS VERY RUSTED AND CORRODED, BUT HE COULD NOT FIND A CRACK. HE THEN ADVISED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT HE HAD REPLACED NUMEROUS NISSAN ALTIMA REAR CONTROL ARMS BEFORE, HE WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN HAD A CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE REAR CONTROL ARMS DUE TO THEM CRACKING. I THEN HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER HE ADVISED ME THAT ONLY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMAS THAT ARE IN AREAS OF THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE SALT ON THE ROAD AND 2014 NISSAN ALTIMAS IN CANADA ARE BEING FIXED BY NISSAN. I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA AND LIVE IN OHIO. NISSAN SHOULD BE EXPANDING THEIR CAMPAIGN TO 2014 VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2013'S. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND MY MECHANIC FOUND THE CRACK DURING AN INSPECTION. IF HE DIDN'T FIND IT, I ALONG WITH MY FAMILY OR FRIENDS COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN INJURED IF THE CONTROL ARM COMPLETELY CRACKED IN HALF AND CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I HOPE NISSAN ISN'T WAITING FOR A FATALITY TO CONSIDER A RECALL. $1300.00 LATER I AM GOING TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. CLASS:19-002 REF#: NTB 19-082 ID#: P9324

THE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS (NOT HIGH BEAMS) ARE SO DIM THAT IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. IN LOW LIGHT AREAS (CITY STREETS) I HAVE BUMPED THE CURB BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE IT AND WHEN TURNING IN LOW LIT INTERSECTIONS, I AM UNABLE TO SEE WHERE THE LANES ARE, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY TURN. I HAVE CLEANED THE OUTER PART OF THE HEADLIGHT AND REPLACED THE LIGHTS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

I RELEASE THE HOOD LATCH AND NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAPPEN TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE. MY DOWN AND THE HOOD. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, I'M ABOUT TO SLIP MY FINGERS INTO THE GRILL AND RELEASE THE HOOD LATCH. IF I DOWN PUSH DOWN ON THE HOOD, I WOULD JUST HEAR A CLICK AND THE HOOD WILL NOT GO UP. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT MY DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM ITS AS IF THEY ARE NOT EVEN ON. IT DOESNT MATTER IF IM DRIVING IN THE CITY OR COUNTRY ITS HARD AND GETTING HARDER TO SEE THE HIGHWAY. IVE COME CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. ONLY PREVENTION WAS SWITCHING TO HIGH BEAM TO BE ABLE TO SEE. SO IF I END UP HAVING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS SOMEBODYS GOING TO BE SERVED AND SPEND MORE MONEY THAN WHAT THEY COULD HAVE BY PREVENTING IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS? HOW MANY ACCIDENTS WERE CAUSED BY THIS THAT RESULTED IN DEATH? WE DONT KNOW BC THEY ARE DEAD!

LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. A SAFETY HAZARD THAT HAS BEEN NAMED NUMEROUS TIMES ONLINE. NISSAN IS AWARE AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE POOR MANUFACTURING.

LOWBEAMS DO NOT HELP AT NIGHT. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NISSAN NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS WHICH WENT BAD WITHIN 2 YEARS OF USE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE REARWARD CONTROL ARM BROKE FROM RUST AND CAUSE ME TO FISHTAIL ALMOST CRASHING ... I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED BADLY!!!

DRIVING HOME AT 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET, HEARD A POP, LOST CONTROL, WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SLOW WITH HAZARDS TO REPAIR SHOP.WANING LIGHTS CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT CONTROL ARM SNAPPED AND OTHER CONTROL ARM CRACKED. GOOGLE AND FOUND SAFETY NOTICE FOR 2013/2014 FOR RELATED TO STATES WITH HIGH ROAD SALT. US AND CANADA. US IS VAGUE POINT TO ONLY 2013 WITH CANADA STATING BOTH 13 AND 14. EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN IS VERY VAGUE TO AVOID PAYING THESE REPAIR COST.. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE, THESE WAS DEFIANTLY A RUST ISSUE CAUSED FROM ROAD SALT. I LIVE IN ILLINOIS.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CANNOT SEE AT ALL. MUST USE HIGH BEAM IN ORDER TO SEE WHAT IS AHEAD. HAD LIGHTS REPLACED TWICE AND DOESN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING 65 ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I EXPERIENCED AN ODD 'SHIFT' IN MY CAR, GIVING AN ODD SWAYING SENSATION'I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE HAD A FLAT TIRE. SINCE I WAS CLOSE TO A GAS STATION, I PROCEEDED ROUGHLY A HALF MILE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY TO THE STATION. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT A PORTION OF THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN FROM THE FRAME. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM AND ISSUED A "SERVICE CAMPAIGN" FOR 2013 ALTIMAS IN THE US BUT 2013 AND 2014 IN CANADA. THEIR DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS PART FAILS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR AND I LIVE IN THE "SALT BELT" THAT THEY SAY CONTRIBUTES TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY AND ARE NOT WILLING TO REPAIR WHAT IS ALREADY BROKEN OR REPLACE WHAT WILL MOST LIKELY FAIL ON THE OTHER SIDE!

I WAS DRIVING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A POP AND MY CAR STARTED ACTING WEIRD LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE AND SEEMED LOPSIDED. I STOPPED GOT OUT OF CAR AND NOTICED MY TIRE ON PASSENGER SIDE WAS POINTED INWARD AND MY BACK END OF CAR WAS LOW AGAINST TIRE. SOMETHING BROKE UNDER MY VEHICLE.

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA TRANSMISSION DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE WIRH NO WARNING.IT WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN I LEFT FROM HOME

I PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM CARMAX WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING THAT IT WAS PROPERLY SERVICED. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS, FOR MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND OVERHEATING. SATURDAY MORNING I WENT OUTSIDE TO CRANK MY CAR SO IT CAN WARM AND IT WOULDN'T START. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, PAYING ALMOST $400 A MONTH FOR A CAR I BARELY DRIVE.

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SAFELY OPERATE VEHICLE AT NIGHT OR RAINY AND/OR FOGGY WEATHER.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH, HIT A SMALL POTHOLE & THE REAR CONTROL ARM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SNAPPED. NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN (THAT CAME OUT IN 10/2019- I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 02/2020) I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO GET THE PART FIXED. ALMOST $500 OUT OF MY POCKET. FAST FORWARD 10 MONTHS, DRIVING 70 ON THE HIGHWAY, DIDN'T HIT A POT HOLE OR ANYTHING... THE DRIVERS SIDE SNAPPED. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR FOR A SOLID 15 SECONDS. HOW ARE ONLY THE 2014 ALTIMAS IN CANADA ELIGIBLE FOR FREE REPAIRS BUT A CAR IN NY STATE IS NOT? I HAVE A CASE OPEN AND WILL BE EXPECTING A CALL ON 02/08. REALLY HOPING NISSAN STEPS UP TO ASSIST WITH REPAIRS AS THIS WILL AMOUNT TO ALMOST $1,000 IN NOT EVEN A YEAR..
