2014 Nissan Altima complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, THE HOOD POPPED OPENED AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. MY VISION WAS OBSTRUCTED BUT I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE IS EVIDENT DAMAGE TO BOTH FENDERS AND POSSIBLY THE HOOD. I CURRENTLY DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES THE FAILURE AND INCIDENT, HOWEVER WILL NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO PROVIDE ENOUGH ILLUMINATION TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMP LENSES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT WARRANTY MILEAGE WAS EXCEEDED, THEREFORE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

AFTER TURNING A CORNER, THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN ON AN ICY ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALIGNED TO THE RIGHT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR. TWO DAYS LATER, WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR (ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY), THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WAS WOBBLING, SEVERELY SHAKING THE CAR. DROVE THE CAR ONLY 25 MPH. ONCE AT THE REPAIR SHOP, REPAIR NEEDED WAS FOR THE CONTROL ARM. LEARNED THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR THE CONTROL ARM. OUR CAR IS A 2014. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS IN LATER MODELS. *LN*JB

MY HEADLIGHTS GO REALLY DIM I CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT 2 FEET IN FRONT OF ME ON LOW BEAM ,I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAM LIGHT ON ,THE DEALER SAID IT WILL COST OVER A $1000.00 TO GET THIS REPAIRED. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.*DT*JB

I PURCHASED MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 6 YEARS AGO. OVER TIME THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY DIM. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING MY HIGH BEAMS BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM. I CANNOT DRIVE IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THE MARKINGS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULB AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND THAT HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE OTHER DRIVERS FLASHING ME BECAUSE THEY THINK MY LIGHTS AREN'T ON.THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT WITH CASUALTIES TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED SHE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, AS A RESULT SHE WAS PUSHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF HER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MUSCLE STRAIN, LEG AND NECK INJURIES WHILE THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED BACK AND NECK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION.

THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO BODY FACILITY. THE CONTACT STATED NO LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED AS SHE RESEARCHED ON-LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL RECALLS THAT INVOLVED THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING HOWEVER HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, I CHANGED THE LIGHT BULBS 3 TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS THE PROJECTORS NOT THE LIGHT. THIS IS ACCIDENT ABOUT TO HAPPEN. THEY ARE JUST CANDLES. I MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAM WHICH IS VERY BRIGHT AND IT NOT FAIR FOR THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. NISSAN DEALER WANTS $700 TO REPLACE THE PROJECTORS.

LEFT REAR LOWER CONTRL ARM BROKE WHILE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN.WAS ABLE TO PULL OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AD WAIT WHILE THE PART WAS ORDERED.

REAR CONTROL ARM CRACKED AND BROKE OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING PARTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL AND HANDLING. VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY ON A STREET WHEN INITIALLY NOTICES, COMPLETE FAILURE WHEN BACKING UP IN DRIVEWAY AFTER INITIALLY NOTICED. *TR

I CAN BELIEVE IT, I'M ON VACATION IN FLORIDA AND IT'S ALREADY WENT BAD. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR NICELY AND SUDDENLY LOST A BIT CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL SO I STOPPED AND CHECKED WHEELS AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDERNEATH PASSENGER REAR WHEEL THERE IS CONTROL ARM CRACKED. CALLED AND TOWED IT TO NISSAN DEALER SPEND SO MUCH MONEY WHICH I DON'T HAVE ON TOWING, HOTEL, LYFT, CALLED MY HOTEL IN CLEARWATER TO LET THEM KNOW, EVERYTHING IS SCREWED NOW , AND THEY SAY HERE THAT NISSAN WON'T FIX IT. *TR

LIGHT ARE ON BUT TOO DIM TO SEE IN FROM ON ME. BULBS AND HOUSING HAS BEEN REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP BUT IT KEEPS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 6 MILES ON IT IN 2014. I ONLY DROVE MY CAR FROM SCHOOL TO HOME, AS THIS WAS MY WORK VEHICLE. I FINISHED PAYING FOR MY NISSAN IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. MY NISSAN RECENTLY REACHED 90,000 MILES AND BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO JERK AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE IT WERE PLACED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THEN AT TIMES WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE AND ROAR LOUDLY, AND SHUT OFF. MY DAD HAD TO COME AND TOW THE CAR IN TWICE DUE TO IT NOT SHUTTING DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE AND IN TRAFFIC. THE NISSAN WOULD JUST STOP ACCELERATING AND LOSE POWER. IF IT CRANKED BACK UP AT STOP LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS IT WOULD ACCELERATE SO SLOWLY THAT I WOULD GET CAUGHT UNDER RED LIGHTS OR IN THE MIDDLE OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. IT WOULD SLOWLY PICK UP SPEED WITH THE ACCELERATED PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BUT THERE WOULD BE A BURNING SMELL THAT THE CAR WILL GIVE OFF AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS IN THE WRONG GEAR, WHILE IN DRIVE. *TR

1.) THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND THEN TURNS OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS. 2.) WHEN I AM ABOUT TO GO WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, MY CAR DOESN'T TAKE OFF WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL. THIS INCIDENT CAUSE MY CAR TO BE VERY SLOW INTO ON GOING TRAFFIC WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM TURNING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. IT HAPPENS VERY FREQUENT DURING MY DAILY DRIVES. *TR

DRIVER DOOR HANDLE PIECE SNAPPED LAST NIGHT AND CAN NO LONGER OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. ONLY THE OUTSIDE. *TR

THE DYING IN THE STREETS AND NO POWER TO GO BACK OR FRONT DYING ON STOP LIGHT START O 05/10/2020 NO LIGHTS ON PANEL IS ON. *TR

PASSENGER AIR LIGHT IS ON AND WON'T GO OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG. I HAVEN'T HAD NO ACCIDENT, BUT IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DOESN'T WORK. LOOK OUT NISSAN. YOU'LL NEEDS TO RECALL THESE AIRBAGS. I SEE NEARLY 700 COMPLAINT. *TR

HEAD LIGHTS BECAME VERY DIM OVER TIME, EVEN WITH NEW BULBS; EVENTUALLY COULD ONLY SEE WELL A FEW YARDS AHEAD OF THE CAR. OTHER CARS WE CURRENTLY OWN AND HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION ONLINE, HAD THE FULL HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. THIS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. DEALER DID NOT INDICATE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT DO THIS FOR FREE, EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS SAFETY HAZARD. PURCHASED THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLIES FROM CARPARTS.COM. REPLACEMENT WAS DONE BY LEXINGTON AUTOWORKS.

MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE BARELY LIGHTING UP THE ROAD EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULBS. IT'S COMING FROM THE SILVER HOUSING PART THAT HOLDS THE BULBS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS. I ALMOST HIT A PERSON WALKING LAST NIGHT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A DARK ROAD GOING SLOW. I HAVE TO USE MY FOG LIGHTS JUST TO HELP ME OUT SOME AND IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH LIGHTING. MY BRIGHTS WORK GREAT IT'S JUST THE LOW BEAM.

MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT A MILE FROM OUR HOME (GOING ABOUT 20 MPH) WHEN HIT HIT A BUMP AND THE BACK AXEL BROKE. FORTUNATELY HE WAS CLOSE TO HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAD HE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE, HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS FROM THIS YEAR BUT THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF VINS THAT QUALIFY FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE WHICH COST ABOUT $400 IN LABOR AND $225.49 IN NISSAN PARTS. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 80,000 MILES AT THE TIME. THIS SEEMS LIKE A CLEAR CASE OF FAULTY PARTS.

OUR 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING UR 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ABOUT A 1/4 MILE FROM OUR HOME. HE HIT A BUMP AND IMMEDIATELY FELT THE STEERING PULL. HE GOT HOME AND WE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS RUSTED THRU AND HAD BROKEN. THANKFULLY HE WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE OR GOING FASTER WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT, SECURED PORTION BOLT IS BACKING OUT AND/LOOSE. FEAR OF FAST STOP OR ACCIDENT SEAT BELT RESTRAINT WILL NOT HOLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE HOOD, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HOOD FAILED TO LATCH SECURELY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE (CAR DOES NOT MOVE IN DRIVE OR ANY OTHER SHIFT POSITION. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF AFTER RESET. *TR*DT*JB*DT

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT NIGHT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE CARS. *TR

JUNE 2019, VEHICLE STARTED TO JUDDER, SHAKE AND STALLED OUT AT RED LIGHT. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. APPROACHING ANOTHER SET OF LIGHTS, VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN AND THE JUDDER AND SHAKING BEGAN, I DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP SO THE CAR DID NOT STALL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I THEN LET THE CAR SIT FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE I DROVE IT AGAIN AND WHEN I TEST DROVE IT AFTER THOSE 2 DAYS, THE CAR SEEMED TO BE BETTER, IT DID NOT STALL OUT. IT DID SHAKE A LITTLE AND JUDDER. NO PROBLEMS LIKE THAT OCCURRED UNTIL 3/9/2020. APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, CAR JUDDERS, STARTED SHAKING AND STALLED OUT. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, RESTARTED, FROM PARK TO DRIVE, IT STALLED. I REPEATED THIS PROCESS FOR 5 MINUTES. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND PHYSICALLY PUSH THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. 3/10/2020 DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE VEHICLE ON MY WAY THERE. JUDDERING, SHAKING AND STALLING. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND MAKE SURE I DID NOT LET THE VEHICLE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE IT WOULD STALL OUT. I WENT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THAT WAS THE EASIEST ROUTE. THE ENTIRE TIME THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND I WAS GOING 60MPH, WHICH WAS 5MPH UNDER SPEED LIMIT. PARKED THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. EXPLAINED TO THE TECHNICIANS WHAT WAS WRONG, ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS TOOK MY VEHICLE FROM WHERE I PARKED AND BROUGHT IT INTO THE GARAGE. HE CONFIRMED MY CAR WAS JUDDERING, SHAKING A

I HAD AN AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON RECENTLY. MY NISSAN DEALER SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SIDE AIRBAG WHICH IS BUILT INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND WOULD REQUIRE THE BACK PORTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A 2014 ALTIMA WITH LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT ALREADY HAVING AN AIRBAG FAULT OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO ACCIDENT. IT CONCERNS ME THAT I AM HAVING TO FOOT A $1600 BILL TO FIX A PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT THE MANUFACTURE SEEMS TO HAVE POORLY MADE.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. HALOGEN, LOW BEAM (H11) BULBS ARE WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT OT IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. SWITCHING OUT THE HALOGEN FOR HID AND LED IS ALSO NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ILLUMINATE UP TO 1 - 2 FEET IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAM IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU AND IS A SAFTY ISSUE.

PULLED INTO A HANDICAP PARKING PLACE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED. KNOCKING DOWN THE HANDICAP SIGN AND WENT THROUGH A STORE GLASS WINDOW.WE SAT THERE IN SHOCK NOT NOTHING WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND A SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE GAS PEDAL, THEY ASSUME SINCE I WAS A OLDER PERSON THAT I HAD STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I KNOW I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I FEEL THIS IS DIFFERENTLY A RECALL PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2000 AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE LOST MY LICENSE AND MY INSURANCE OVER THIS. PLEASE TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY! WHAT IF THIS WAS A SCHOOL CROSSWALK AND CHILDREN WERE GOING ACROSS. I WORKED IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 47 YEARS NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TRAVEL AND ENJOY MY RETIREMENT. I CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE DOCTORS OR GROCERY STORES. PLEASE SAVE OUR CHILDREN AND OUR COMMUNITY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AT THE TIME THIS HAPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT-END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED IT SEEMED AS THOUGH IT WAS A BEARINGS ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,500. *BF CONSUMER WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 4K TO REPLACE NEW TRANSMISSION. *JB

TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC 4/28/18. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON EAST CHELTENHAM AVENUE IN MELROSE PARK, PA. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO FAULKNER NISSAN WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED DUE TO A CVT ISSUE. I WAS REIMBURSED FOR TOWING (REIMBURSEMENT WAS OFFERED BY NISSAN) AND I WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION AT NO COST.

LIGHTS ARE TOO DIM AND I CANT SEE AT NIGHT OR EARLY IN THE MORNING. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULB NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOTHING HELPS. I HAVE CHANGED TO HD AND EVEN LED AND NOTHING HELPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE HOOD FLEW OPEN WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V116000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED SIMMONS-ROCKWELL NISSAN LOCATED AT (224 COLONIAL DR, HORSEHEADS, NY 14845) WHERE SHE WAS REFERRED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED HER THAT AN INSPECTOR WOULD BE SENT TO HER LOCAL DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. THE INSPECTOR DETERMINED THAT THE SECONDARY LATCH WAS DEFECTIVE. THE INSPECTOR PLACED A ZIP TIE ON THE LATCH AND REFERRED HER BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 146,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL ARM SNAPPED CAUSING LOSS OF STABILITY, CONTROL AND DRIVABILITY. UPON INSPECTION BY MECHANIC THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR CONTROL WAS ABOUT TO BREAK ALSO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE AT LOW SPEEDS TO THE RESIDENCE WHERE HIS FATHER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS FRACTURED AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS EXTREMELY CORRODED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY BECAME VERY UNSTABLE AND WOBBLED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN. AT THE TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL. HAD THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. ON INVESTIGATION LOWER REAR CONTROL ARM HAD SNAPPED ON PASSENGER SIDE. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS. CURRENTLY DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR UNDER AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA BECAUSE THAT ONLY IMPACTS 2013 MODELS. THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE AGREEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND RESPONDED ABRUPTLY AT AN ABNORMAL SPEED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S MODEL. AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS GETTING DIMER AND DIMER TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAD THE OE BULBS REPLACED WITH LID LIGHTS AND IT DID NOTHING FOR THE PROJECTION OF THE HEADLAMPS STILL DIM. SO I THAN HAD HID BULBS PUT IN AND SAME THING NO PROJECTION OUT OF THE LENSES. I GOT ON A NISSAN FORUM AND IT TALKED ABOUT THE INSIDE OF THE LENS LOOSING ITS REFLECTING ABILITY. SO I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN RENTON WHERE I HAD PURCHASED MY CAR AND WAS TOLD TO CALL THE NISSANS 800 NUMBER. I DID CALL AND SPOKE TO A JENNIFER. TOLD HER EVERYTHING I JUST STATED ITS OBVIOUS IF YOU LOOK THRU THE LENS THAT YOU CAN SEE THE INTERNAL REFLECTION ABILITY IS GONE. SHE TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS TO GET IT BACK TO OE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE NISSAN FORUM THIS IS A SEVERE OCCURRING ISSUE. SO YONKER NISSAN AND NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA IT SEEMS SAFETY IS NOT AN ISSUE TO ME OR MY FAMILY SO NEITHER IS MY BUSINESS THAT GOES FOR BOTH OF YOU.. AND I DO HOPE YOU TRAIN YOUR NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA STAFF ON THE MAGNUSSON ACT CAUSE AFTERMARKET GIVES A 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE LENS ASSEMBLIES TO YOUR 1 YEAR.SO I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,300.

2014 NISSAN ALTIMA S, PROJECTOR HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY IS DEFECTIVE AND IN ORDER TO SEE AT NIGHT, I MUST DRIVE WITH MY HIGH-BEAMS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME OVER $200 JUST TO "TROUBLESHOOT" THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS DEFECT. A LOT OF NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS FROM 2013-2018 ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE, YET NISSAN DOES NOT ISSUE A RECALL AND WE ARE EXPECTED TO PAY THEM ABOUT $1,000 FOR A NEW SET OF HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US GET NISSAN TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND ISSUE A MANDATORY RECALL AT THEIR EXPENSE. THANK YOU.

WE BOUGHT OUR NEW 2014 ALTIMA IN DECEMBER 2013. ON FEBRUARY 4, 2020, WITH 151,000 MILES, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A WINDING COUNTY ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH HER ALTIMA. SHE STATED THAT IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS ON ICE AND NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE. I WENT TO HER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT REAR CONTROL ARM WAS SEVERED AT THE ATTACHMENT TO THE CHASSIS. I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT ONE MILE AT LESS THAN 20 MPH AND IT WAS TERRIBLE! I TOLD THE DEALER TO REPLACE BOTH CONTROLS ARMS AND I DEMANDED THE PARTS BE RETURNED TO ME. UPON INSPECTION OF THE PARTS, THE RIGHT CONTROL ARM HAS SEVERE CRACKING AND WOULD HAVE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER WITHIN DAYS OR WEEKS. I SPOKE WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THEY CLAIMED TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ON 2013 MODELS ONLY. I REQUESTED THAT NISSAN EXTEND THEIR REPAIR CAMPAIGN TO ALL AFFECTED YEARS AND NOTIFY OWNERS OF THIS SAFETY CONCERN. THEY HAVE REFUSED. THEY HAVE ALSO REFUSED TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF OUR FAILURE, WHICH TOTALS NEARLY $1800 INCLUDING A RENTAL CAR. AT A MINIMUM, NISSAN SHOULD BE REQUIRING THEIR DEALERS TO INSPECT THE CONTROLS ARMS OF ANY AFFECTED ALTIMA THAT IS BEING SERVICED. THEY SHOULD BE COLLECTING DATA ON THE INSPECTIONS, AND THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING ANY CONTROL ARM THAT IS SHOWING SEVERE DEGRADATION BEFORE IT FAILS. OUR ALTIMA WAS IN FOR SERVICE LESS THAN 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO FAILURE AND NO RELATED CONCERNS WERE BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION. PER NHTSA'S OPEN INVESTIGATION #EA19002, THIS FAILURE IS PRIMARILY IN THE AREAS WH

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ERROR CODE WAS B0020, WHICH IS THE DRIVERS SIDE, THEY RESET AT THE DEALER. IT CAME BACK ON A WEEK LATER AND I TOOK IT BACK. THEY TOLD ME THEY CHECKED THE WIRES AND IT ALL LOOKED FINE. THEY DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT SO I NEED TO REPLACE IT AND IT WILL COST $1000. THEY ALSO SOLD ME THE CAR IN APRIL AND IN MAY THE LIGHT CAME ON. VERY ANNOYED BY THIS.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE 2YRS OLD AND AFTER 1YR OF OWNING IT, I NOTICED THE LIGHTS WERE STARTING TO GET LOWER, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. EVENTUALLY I HAD TO START PERMANENTLY DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE SOME PART OF THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TRYING TO DRIVE AND MAKING TURNS IN THE DARK WHERE THERE IS LITTLE TO NO STREET LIGHTING.AVAILABLE. THIS ISSUE HAS ALSO CAUSED A DETERIORATION IN MY EYESIGHT FROM CONTINUOUSLY STRAINING MY EYES AT NIGHT.

I OWN A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA, OVER THE TIME OF OWNERSHIP I HAVE NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS GETTING DIMMER AND DIMMER, I ASSUMED IT WAS THE BULBS AGING AND REPLACED THIS ON 02/15/2020. THE NEW BULBS (SILVANIA SILVERSTARS) WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BRIGHTER. THERE WERE NOT MUCH BRIGHTER. LATER WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SUGGESTED NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBALLIES AS THE CHROME PAINTING ON THE INSIDES OF THE LENSES HAS FADED AND AS A RESULT IS NOT REFLECTING MUCH LIGHT ONTO THE ROAD. THE ESTIMATED COST OF THIS REPAIR WAS 800$. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE FAILED IN THIS MATTER AND AS A STUDENT IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE LOW BEAMS THAT ARE SO DIM THEY DO NOT EVEN APPEAR TO BE ON AT NIGHT. GOOGLING THIS ISSUES SHOWS MANY FORUMS WHERE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE I WAS HAVING WITH NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES FIXING THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH, HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND BECAME AWARE THAT ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS WAS LOOSE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TIGHTEN THE UNKNOWN REAR TIRE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR SWAY BAR LINK WAS FRACTURED. THE DRIVER GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. THE DEALER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 230,000.

DRIVING TO WORK LOST CONTROL OF REAR TIRE. TOOK IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT AND WAS INFORMED THE REAR LOWER LINK RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN FOR 2013-2014 ALTIMA SEDAN ON THE REAR LOWER LINK. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN I WAS INFORMED IT WAS ONLY FOR THE 2013 ALTIMA. I EXPLAINED TO THEM CAMPAIGN ID# P9324 SAID FOR 2013-2014 ALTIMA AND MY CAR WAS A 2014 BUILT IN JULY 2013 AND HAS THE SAME REAR LOWER LINK PART NUMBER ON BOTH YEAR MODELS AND MINE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND SEPARATED. THEY DON'T CARE. NOW I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL I GET IT FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. UNABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING WITH LOW-BEAMS ON. I PAID $250 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMPS WITH NO LUCK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE SO I AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL?

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO BE SAFE. I'VE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALER TWICE, AND EACH TIME BEEN TOLD TO TRY NEW BULBS. FOLLOWING THEIR ADVICE, BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW, ONCE WITH HID, AND AGAIN WITH LED. BOTH OPTIONS GAVE VERY LITTLE TO NO INCREASE IN VISIBILITY. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AFTER DARK AS THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY PROVIDE LIGHT 10-15 FEET BEYOND THE FRONT BUMPER.

ON TUESDAY NIGHT JANUARY 14, 2020 I DO AS I ALWAYS DO THIS NIGHT AND DRIVE MY SON TO HIS HOCKEY PRACTICE FOR 6 PM IN NORTH SMITHFIELD RHODE ISLAND. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY ROUTE 295 IN TRAVEL LANE PASSING AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK. WHEN WE WERE NEXT TO THIS TRUCK IT FELT LIKE A GUST OF WIND CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND PUSHED MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA IN HIS LANE AND ALMOST HIT THIS TRUCK. I WENT TO CORRECT THE WHEEL TO MOVE AWAY FROM THIS AND THE CAR ALMOST WENT RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY IN A DITCH. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHTENED OUT. MY SON, WHO IS 11 WAS SCARED TO DEATH. I NOTICED THAT THAT A LIGHT ON DASHBOARD CAME ON THAT LOOKS LIKE A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT OR SLIPPERY ROAD LIGHT. WHERE THIS HAPPENED, THE PRACTICE WE GO TO WAS NEXT EXIT AND RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY. WE DECIDED TO HEAD THERE SINCE THERE WAS NO SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER IN THIS LOCATION AT NIGHT. I PUT THE HAZARD LIGHT ON AND MANAGED TO GET THEIR SLOWLY SOMEHOW SO I COULD LOOK INTO WHAT THIS PROBLEM WAS. WE GOT TO PRACTICE. MY SON WENT IN AND I LOOKED AROUND AT WHAT THIS LIGHT WAS THAT CAME ON DASHBOARD. I COULD NOT FIND IT IN MANUAL ANYWHERE AND WAS THINKING THAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN A COMPUTER ISSUE. FROM THERE I CHECKED THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND UNDER THE BEST I COULD AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING AT THIS TIME SO I LEFT IT ALONE. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE MY PLAN WAS JUST TO TAKE IT SLOW AND DRIVE HOME. WE MADE IT ABOUT 200 FEET OUT OF PARKING LOT AND HEARD A NASTY NOISE AND PULLED RIGHT OV
