2015 Nissan Altima complaints

AFTER DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. SOMETIMES THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T RESPOND PROPERLY IT STALLS AND GOES SLOW BUILDING UP SPEED DOESN'T RESPOND LIKES IT SHOULD. TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO REACH PROPER RESPONSE

I JUST PURCHASED A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5 SL SEDAN. WHILE TAKING FOR A TEST DRIVE AFTER RECEIVING THE VEHICLE, MY 12-YEAR-OLD ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW PART WAY AND HER DOOR POPPED OPEN! I HAD TO PULL OVER TO CLOSE THE DOOR. IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW AND THE DOOR IMMEDIATELY POPPED OPEN. I COULD NOT CLOSE THE DOOR UNTIL I ROLLED THE WINDOW BACK UP. I LEARNED OF THE RECALL FOR THE WINDOW HITTING THE DOOR RELEASE AND REPORTED IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE CENTER WHERE I TOOK IT AS WELL AS TO NISSAN NA. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND A REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED ME TODAY TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS DANGEROUS! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE MANUFACTURERS FIX SAFETY ISSUES THAT COME UP EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN A POOL OF VINS TARGETED IN RECALL CAMPAIGNS. NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO FIX THEM ALL, NOT JUST CHOICE ONES. ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS PROOF OF THE MALFUNCTION HAPPENING. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED HER HUSBAND REROUTED THE CABLES IN THE DOOR AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

OWN A 2015 ALTIMA WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DIM AND YELLOW DUE TO INTERNAL CORROSION AND THE PROJECTOR LENS IS OPAQUE, WHICH DIFFUSES THE LIGHT OUTPUT. VERY POOR LIGHTING

STARTED THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN TRYING TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. PUMP BRAKES CONTINUOUSLY AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP.OAT CONTROL OF THE CAR AND PLUNGED INTO A DITCH.

I JUST CALLED NISSAN. ON JUNE 8 18 I TOOK MY CAR TO CHANDLER NISSAN FOR PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION. THEY SAID IT HAD A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CHECKED IT AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I RECEIVED A QUOTE ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHILE THERE. I LATER CALLED AND EMAILED TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY BUT KEPT GETTING THE RUN AROUND. FAST FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND, GETTING ON THE FREEWAY NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. RPM JUST THROUGH THE ROOF. ITS DONE THAT A FEW TIMES NOW, SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT (AFTER INSPECTION) IT WOULD LAG TO ACCELERATE JUST NOT TOTALLY LIKE IT DID NOW. I'M A GIRL AND THOUGHT THAT WAS NORMAL IT JUST DIDN'T PICK UP AND GO AND WHINED A LITTLE. TODAYS MILES = 61850. CALLED NISSAN, THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME... THE CAR HAD 57468 MILES AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE OTHER ISSUE WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BEFORE I HIT 60K THE SIDE AIRBAG ALERT WENT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT DISAPPEARED. TOOK IT TO MIDWAY NISSAN AND THEY SAID COULD BE A FAULTY SENSOR OR COULD BE A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG BUT ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY QUOTED $1400 TO FIX THAT. I FORGOT TO TELL THE NISSAN REP THAT WHEN I CALLED BUT I WILL DO SO WHEN THEY CALL ME BACK. HOPING THEY WILL BE HELPFUL. I WILL UPDATE AS I GET MORE INFO.

MY DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STOPPED LATCHING TO CLOSE THE DOOR WHEN LETTING THE WINDOW DOWN NOW DOOR STAYS OPEN WHEN DRIVING.ITS NOT LATCHED THE LOCK ISN'T CATCHING AND DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR IS LOOSE. I WAS TRYI G TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND THE HANDLE IS NOT LATCHING WHEN I WAS COMING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE WITH MR CHILDREN THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR THE BACK DOORS ON THIS TYPE OF CAR BUT THIS IS THE FRONT DOOR DOING THE SAME THING AS THE BACK DOOR IN THE RECALL IT'S JUST THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR.

I'VE NOW REPLACED MY HEADLIGHTS A SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH AND NO CHANGE. WHEN I DRIVE ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS, OR WHEN I TURN AT DARK I HAVE NO VISIBILITY FROM MY HEADLIGHTS.THE LIGHTS AREN'T PROEJECTING ENOUGH LIGHT SO THAT I CAN SEE THREE FEET AHEAD OF ME. OTHER VEHICLES PULL UP BEHIND ME AND THEIR HEADLIGHTS SHOW A SHADOW IN FRONT OF ME. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME $200 TO LOOK AT THEM TO TELL ME I WHAT'S WRONG. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

THE DRIVER'SIDE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY SIDE LIGHT ALL OR FRONT LIGHT GREATER THAN 10 FEET. THE LIGHT BULBS FOR BOTH LOW BEAMS WERE REPLACED WITH LED BULBS 02/03/2019, WHICH MADE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER. THE LACK OF LIGHT POWER MAKES DRIVING AT NIGHT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY LEFT TURNS WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SEE DURING A LEFT TURN. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN JUNE 2017, THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH 2015.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 25 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANSONE NISSAN (90-100 US-1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (888) 437-1763) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO PAY 90% OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE MORE THAN 10-15 FEET IN FRONT MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT TIME. A WRITTEN COMPLAINT WAS SENT DIRECTLY TO NISSAN WITH NO RESPONSE FOR THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THIS IS THE NATURE OF PROJECTOR LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IT IS TIME THAT I SPEAK UP BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S WELL BEING WHEN THEY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I NOTICED THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AS WELL AS THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL/ REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE DUE TO LACK OF ADEQUATE LIGHTING AT NIGHT.

EXTREMELY DIM LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I CAN BARELY SEE MORE THAN A FEW CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME AND IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE AT NIGHT. I NEED THIS TO BE FIXED.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. LOW BEAM BULBS WERE REPLACED, AND LIGHTS ARE STILL VERY DIM. UNABLE TO SEE THE ROAD - ESPECIALLY WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IN THE RAIN, AND IN AREAS WITH SOME STREET LIGHTING. MUST USE HIGH BEAMS AT ALL TIMES TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT AND IN THE RAIN. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, LIKE TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE MORE THAN ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE CAR. I HAVE TRIED NEW BULBS AND DIFFERENT BULBS, TO NO AVAIL. THEY ARE HORRIBLE. THIS IS ONGOING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 35-65 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN MANUFACTURER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 15-102. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

DIM HEADLIGHT PROBLEM

ON 12/30/2018 I HAD JUST LEFT THE PARKING LOT OF THE LOCAL WALMART AND WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP FOR A STOPLIGHT ON THE CORNER OF COUNTY HWY Z AND STATE ROAD 13, WAITING TO TURN LEFT. ON THE GREEN, I TURNED AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET AND MY HOOD FLEW OPEN TO THE POINT OF SLAMMING INTO THE ROOF OF THE CAR DAMAGING THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER AND CLOSED THE HOOD AND SLOWLY DROVE HOME. WHEN HOME I CHECKED TO SEE IF POSSIBLE RECALL ON HOOD. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AFTER THE HOLIDAYS AND WAS TOLD MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, THEREFORE THEY COULDN'T FIX ANY DAMAGES AND I WAS TO CONTACT CONSUMER AFFAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS DID NOT PROJECT OR ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY ENOUGH TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARMAX (LOCATED AT 130 MASON MCKNIGHT JR PKWY, AUGUSTA, GA 30907, (706) 650-1248) AND THE HEADLIGHT BULBS WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BULB REPLACEMENT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM ARE BECOMING LESS EFFECTIVE AT LIGHTING UP THE ROAD AT NIGHT. THIS BEGAN IN 2017, BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK JUST FINE, BUT THE LOW BEAMS ARE TERRIBLY DIM ON ROADS THAT HAVE NO STREET LIGHTS. ON ROADS WITH STREET LIGHTS, I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING WITH THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF. THE CAR IS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.

LIGHTS JUST GOT DIM AND KEPT GETTING DIM. ROOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHORTAGE SOMEWHERE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DIMMED OVER THE TIME SINCE I BOUGHT CAR, DRIVING IN NIGHT VERY UNSAFE.

HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT ON LOW BEAM. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ONLY HAVE PARKING LIGHTS ON IT IS SO DIM. IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE AFTER DARK.

I TOOK MY CAR TO BE SERVICED AT DISCOUNT TIRE SHOP IN HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA. I PAID $195.00 TO HAVE MY BRAKES REPLACED, BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE SQUEAKING. I RE-QUESTED HAVING MY BRAKES REPLACED. NOT ONCE DID THE TECH ASK IF I WANTED MY OLD BRAKES CONFISCATED. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE ANYTHING WITH THE BRAKES. HE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HAVE THE BRAKES REPAIRED; I TOLD HIM YES, IF IT MEANS THE SQUEAKING WILL STOP. THEY REPAIRED THE BRAKES AND THE SQUEAKING BECAME EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. I DEMANDED MY MONEY BACK FROM THE DEALER MANAGER, AND HE REFUSES TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. HE DROVE MY CAR AFTER THE REPAIR AND MY FAMILY MEMBER AND I BOTH HEARD THE CAR SQUEAKING; HOWEVER, THE MANAGER TOLD US HE DID NOT HEAR ANY SQUEAKING. TO DATE THE BRAKE IS STILL SQUEAK-ING. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT BOTH HE AND HIS CHILDREN ALL HAVE ALTIMAS, SO I ASSUME THAT HE TOOK MY BRAKES TO USE ON ONE OF THEIR CARS. HE TOOK MY BRAKES AND IT APPEARS THAT HE DID ABSOLUTELY TO MY OLD BRAKES; BECAUSE IT WAS ON THAT DATE SQUEAKING AND TO DATE, SQUEAKING EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. I AM AGAIN REQUESTING THAT THIS MANAGER, REIMBURSE ME $189.00 FOR A BRAKE JOB THAT WAS SIMPLY NO DONE, OR THAT WAS INCORRECTLY REPAIRED. (MORE DETAILS WILL BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST). HE STATED THAT HT WOULD REIMBURSE ME MY $189.00; YET TO DATE, HE HAS NOT DONE SO. IT SHOULD BE NOTED: I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2017; MY DEALER PROVIDED ME WITH NO TYPE OF SAFETY RECALLS WHATSOEVER, I JUST LEARNED TODAY THAT THERE WERE

WHEN I STEP ON GAS PEDAL THE CAR HAS NO POWER, SEEMS LIKE IT IS STUCK IN LOW GEAR, SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR STALLS. VERY DANGEROUS, ONLY WORKS CORRECTLY AFTER THE CAR IS STOPPED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. APPROX 77,000 MILES...

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BACK ROAD, THE HOOD FLEW UP AND RESTED ON THE WINDSHIELD.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT IT IS DANGEROUS AT NIGHT *DSY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE LIGHTING. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO SEE THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WINDSOR NISSAN (590 US-130, EAST WINDSOR, NJ 08520, (609) 448-1411) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 33864131 AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

AIR BAG INDICATOR ON DASHBOARD CAME ON SUDDENLY ONE MORNING AT MILEAGE OF 86,500 AND WOULD NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER RE-STARTING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY OCS FOR THE OCCUPANT SIDE AIRBAG AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVER EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A GOLD 120,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH NO-DEDUCTIBLES. THIS IS ONE OF HE EXCLUDED PARTS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 11-30-18 AFTER DISCUSSING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH A HELEN EMPLOYEE #7319348 AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE# 33678608 AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BY THE END OF THE DAY 12-3-18. ON 12-3-18 BRANDAN FRO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CALLED BACK, BUT I MISSED HIS CALL. I RETURNED HIS CALL AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR HIM TO CALL ME BACK ON 2 MORE OCCASIONS BUT DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM HIM. ON THE MORNING OF 12-5-18 I CALLED HIM AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH HIM. BRANDAN EMPLOYEE # 33678608 TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE COVERING THE PART OR LABOR INVOLVED (APPROX COST ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP OF $450 FOR PARTS AND LABOR). I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL OF 8 RECALLS DOCUMENTED UNDER THE NHTSA OF WHICH 3 OF DEALT WITH THE OCCUPANT SIDE AIRBAG AND OCS (#16V911000, #16V24400 AND #15V681000) AND THAT IT WAS A SAFTY ISSUE AND WAS NO FAULT OF OURS AND BASED UPON ALL THIS INFORMATION THE CORRECT THING TO DO WOULD BE TO COVER THIS ISSUE. HE APOLOGIZED O

HEADLIGHTS R SO DIM THAT AT NIGHT IT SEEMS THEY ARE OFF. THE LENS COVER IS NOT OXIDIZED AND THE BULBS ARE ONLY TWO YEARS OLD.

CPSC: I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN YESTERDAY WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER FELL OFF OF MY CAR INTO THE ROAD. I HAD TO TURN MY WIPER BLADES OFF AND TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON IN ORDER TO SAFELY PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CHECKED, I SAW THAT THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT ATTACHES TO THE CAR WAS STILL FIRMLY IN PLACE, BUT THE REST OF THE BLADE APPEARED TO HAVE SNAPPED OFF. *DT *JS

THE PLASTIC HANGING ROD OF DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR WAS BROKEN AND DROPPED WHILE DRIVING, BLOCKING THE VIEW OF DRIVER. I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THE HANGING ROD IS MADE OF PLASTIC, SINCE THE VISOR NEEDS TO BE INSERTED BACK TO POSITION WITH FORCE AND IS USED ON DAILY BASIS. AFTER ONLINE SEARCH, I HAVE REALIZED THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON FOR NISSAN BRAND. THE DEALERSHIP ASKS MORE THAN $200 PLUS TAX FOR THIS PART. I HAVE A PREFERED GOLD EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH DOES NOT COVER THIS DEFECTIVE PART. MY CAR IS 2015 MODEL. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER USE A PLASTIC FOR A HANGING ROD , BECAUSE IT IS HIDDEN UNDERNEATH THE FABRIC OF THE VISOR? IT IS A FRAUDULENT DESIGN USING A PLASTIC, WHICH CAN NOT SUSTAIN THE FORCE AND DESTINED FOR FAILURE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IT FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND DROPPED IN FRONT OF ME, BLOCKING MY VIEW OF ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HOOD UNINTENTIONALLY UNLATCHED AND BLOCKED THE CONTACT'S VIEW WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VISION NISSAN OF WEBSTER (785 RIDGE RD, WEBSTER, NY 14580, (585) 787-2000) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HOOD LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN LOSS OF ROADWAY VISIBILITY DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING AND DIMMING OF MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN MOTOR CORP AND MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN BRADENTON AND BRANDON, WHO ADVISED IT WOULD REQUIRE ME TO PAY A COSTLY REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THE PROBLEM HAS WORSEN. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT, LIMITING MY SCHEDULE TO AN ALMOST HALT WHEN LEAVING FROM WORK. MY COMMUTE IS LONG AND DANGEROUS.THERE HAS BEEN NEAR MISS CAR ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS. THE DIM LIGHTING IS POSING A RISK TO ME AS A DRIVER, I AM VISUALLY IMPAIRED AS WELL, PLEASE HELP SOON.

I HAVE NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 FOR 4 YEARS. I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS THAT LIMITED MY DRIVING DURING NIGHT OR DARK SITUATION. THE FIRST YEAR OF MY CAR, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FINE AND WORK, BUT IN THE SECOND YEAR, HEADLIGHT BECOMES MORE DIMER. ON THE SECOND YEAR, I TOOK IT FOR VA INSPECTION, AND THE INSPECTOR TOLD ME TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEADLIGHTS. AFTER A WHILE I NOTICED, IT BECOMES MORE DIMER. I CANNOT SEE 10 FEET IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I ALMOST HATE TWO PERSON AND MANY TIMES I HATED THE ISLAND OR MIDDEN. I AM OK AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE BIG DAMAGE OR PROBLEM. TODAY, I TOOK IT FOR YEARLY INSPECTION, AND THE INSPECTOR DID NOT PASS THE INSPECTION IN THE SAME KIND OF CONDITION. I PROMISE HER THAT I FIX MY CAR AND SHOW IT TO HER IN TWO WEEKS. OTHERWISE, SHE NEVER PASSED MY INSPECTION IN NEXT YEAR.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN WHEN DRIVING. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE THAT HOLDS IT UP. CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT BLOCKS VISIBILITY. THE PART BROKE AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO COVER. IN ADDITION THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED IS ALSO REFUSING TO COVER THE PART. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BLOCKS SUN FROM BLINDING ME WHEN DRIVING BUT HAVING IT BLOCKING MY VIEW COMPLETELY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VISOR. IT IS ALSO IN THE MURANO AND THE PATHFINDER YET THEY ARE CLAIMING THIS IS A WEAR ISSUE THAT SOMEHOW I AM AT FAULT FOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. NISSAN CONTINUES TO KNOWINGLY INSTALL DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THEIR CARS WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

WHEN A PASSENGER SIT IN FRONT PASSENGERS SEAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS OFF AND IT WILL GO FROM ON TO OFF ONCE IN A WHILE EVEN IF THE IS SOMEONE SIT IN THE FRONT

A FEW WEEKS AGO MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND PRESSED ON THE GAS. I HAD TO ALMOST FLOOR IT FOR IT TO EVEN GO AND THEN IT WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY. I GOT IT LOOKED AT AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN, EVERY STOP I MADE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I PRESSED ON THE GAS HARD THEN IT SLOWLY STARTED MOVING, ONLY THIS TIME THE RPM WENT CRAZY AND IT STARTED SHUTTING DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO AT ALL, IT COMPLETELY STALLED. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT SO CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED AND WORKED FINE AGAIN. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID IT MAY BE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST 1500$ IF THAT IS ALL IT IS IF THEY GO IN AND IT DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEN I WILL NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID MY WARRANTY SHOULD COVER IT BUT MAY NOT COVER ALL OF IT. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD IT SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN I FELT THE CAR DOING THE SAME THING I TOOK THE BACK ROADS INSTEAD OF THE FREEWAY. IMAGINE IF MY CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY OR IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME AND HIT ME BECAUSE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO WARNING OF ANY KIND CAME ON.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. DASH PANEL DISPLAYED KEY NOT DETECTED. CAR WOULDN'T START. REPLACE BATTERY IN KEY FOB WITH A BRAND NEW ENERGIZER BATTERY. WORKED FINE TWO TIMES AND DID THE SAME THING. HAD CAR BATTERY CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS GOOD. CAR WOULDN'T START ON ME AGAIN IN AN UNLIT PARKING LOT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAVE READ ON BLOGS THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH THIS CAR. WHY WON'T THEY FIX IT?

MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED DIMMING OVER A YEAR AGO, AND I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE GROUND IN FRONT OF MY CAR AT NIGHT. I'VE COMPLAINED TO ORR NISSAN, BOSSIER CITY, LA AND THEY ACT AS THOUGH THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I NEED THIS FIXED BY THEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A TRAGEDY OCCURS.

WHILE PARALLEL PARKING ON THE STREET NEXT TO MY HOME, MY CAR EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I HAD PULLED INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES IN THE PHOTO PROVIDED. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR STATIONARY, I PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR IN FRONT. AS I STARTED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE, MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. I PRESSED AGAINST THE BRAKE. WITH THE WHEELS SKIDDING ALONG THE ASPHALT AND HAVING THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED SLIGHTLY, THE CAR HIT THE CURB AND THE CAR BEHIND ME. ALL CARS PICTURED ARE FAMILY MEMBERS CARS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE NISSAN COMPLAINT HOT LINE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A UPDATE FOR THE CONTROL UNIT, BUT THAT WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED IS NOT A CONDITION FOR THE UPDATE.

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WAS ON A GIRLS TRIP TO ROCKPORT, TX ON SEPT 1, 2018. ONE OF THE LADIES ASKED IF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. I SAID YES. SHE ASKED ME TO PULL OVER SO SHE CAN CONFIRM. SHE CONFIRMED THE LIGHTS WERE ON. ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2018 I WAS COMING BACK HOME ON A DARK HIGHWAY WITH MY SISTER WHEN WE FOUND COULD NOT SEE THREE FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARED AS THOUGH I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS ON. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND DROVE TO THE FIRST OPEN AUTO PARTS PLACE I COULD FIND ON A SUNDAY NIGHT AROUND 8PM. THE MAN SUGGESTED BULB REPLACEMENT. I REPLACED THE BULBS. HOWEVER, ON OCTOBER 20, 2018 I WAS AGAIN DRIVING AND ON A DARK ROAD WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE WALKING ON THE SIDE AND I NEARLY HIT A PERSON BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THEM BECAUSE OF THE POOR LIGHTING COME FROM THE HEADLIGHT. I WENT BACK TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND THE MAN SUGGEST A MORE EXPENSIVE BULBS AND AS OF TODAY OCTOBER 25, 2018 I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE AND THE PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE. I AM ABOUT TO DRIVE TO ARKANSAS IN TWO WEEKS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE THIS WAY. ALL CARS DRIVING NEXT TO ME HAVE MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT LIGHTING FOR THE ROAD. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE, DANGEROUS, HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE FAILING SO NO ONE BECOME A CASUALTY.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY DIM ON LOW BEAM. CANNOT SEE EVEN A FEW FEET AHEAD, CANNOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE SIDES LIKE CURBS. MAKES IT TREACHEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THEM WITHOUT THE BRIGHTS ON. BARELY BRIGHT ENOUGH TO PICK UP ON THE REFLECTIVE BUTTONS THAT MARK LANES. CAN'T SEE ENOUGH OF THE STREET TO MAKE TURNS, WITHOUT RUNNING THE RISK OF MISSING THE LANE AND HITTING THE CURB OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM JUST AROSE IN THE LAST 2-3 MONTHS. PRIOR TO THAT THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED FINE, AND I DO A LOT OF NIGHT DRIVING. SOME WITH CITY STREETLIGHTS, AND SOME ON ROADS WITH MINIMAL LIGHTING. LIGHTS MAY HAVE DIMMED GRADUALLY, BUT I FIRST NOTICED IT IN LATE AUGUST, EARLY SEPTEMBER 2018. AT THAT POINT IT WAS A VERY NOTICEABLE CHANGE. 2 PASSENGERS HAVE POINTED OUT THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK I EVEN HAD THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON. ON HIGH BEAM, THE LIGHTS WORK WONDERFULLY. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS NOT SAFE TO USE WHEN FACING ONCOMING VEHICLES OR WITH VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU. THIS IS NOT AN OXIDATION ISSUE OF THE LENS COVER. THE LENS IS CRYSTAL CLEAR STILL, AND THE CAR IS JUST NOW ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD. HAS 55000 MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FOR NISSAN ALTIMAS. I'M AFRAID SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND HELP PREVENT SUCH A TRAGEDY.

I KEEP READING THE SAME EXACT STORY AS MINE, YET NO RECALLS OR HELP FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SO MANY NISSAN ALTIMAS. SITTING STILL AT A REDLIGHT, LIGHT TURNS GREEN, YOUR FOOT IS ON ACCELERATOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENS FOR FIVE TO TEN SECONDS. FINALLY THE ENGINE BEGINS TO REV. EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. CAN ALSO HAPPEN WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TACHOMETER RACES, ENGINE RACES, AND WONT COME DOWN UNTIL YOU PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURN IT BACK ON. THIS RESETS SOMETHING AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY THEN. TURNING IT BACK ON RESETS THE PROBLEM SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SIMPLE ISSUE BUT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS COME CLOSE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF BEING IN A SERIOUS WRECK DUE TO THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM. I'M SHOCKED THAT NISSAN HASN'T HAD A RECALL ON THIS. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE VALVE BODY BE REPLACED, BUT THIS IS NOT IN EFFECT FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER. YOU ASKED BELOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. SPORADICALLY, MAYBE ONCE EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS.

TOOK MY NISSAN TO JEFF WYLER KINGS NISSAN IN CINCINNATI, OHIO ON OCTOBER 16TH AFTER I WAS MADE AWARE OF A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPROGRAM CVT TRANSMISSION. PICKED UP CAR THAT AFTERNOON DROVE IT REST OF DAY AND THE NEXT DAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $4200. MY CAR IS ALMOST 4 YRS OLD WITH 84,000 MILES ON IT. THE TECH SAID THE REASON FOR THE REPROGRAMMING WAS TO PICK UP ON THE ISSUES IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TECH TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MONTHS AND EVEN A YEAR OR SO AND THE COMPUTER NOT THROW THE ENGINE CODE BECAUSE OF EITHER FAULTY TRANSMISSION OR TRANSMISSION PROGRAM. I JUST FEEL ITS EXTREMELY FISHY THAT AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION THE VERY NEXT DAY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND HAVE A CASE # OR CA # OF 33093284 AND AM ASKING NISSAN TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY.

CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE DURING HOT OR COLD WEATHER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR WILL HESITATE TO MOVE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AT A VERY LOW SPEED. IF I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT BEHAVES NORMALLY AGAIN. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS THIS WINTER AND SUMMER WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP.

THE DUNLOP TIRES WHICH CAME WITH THE NEW 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA I BOUGHT IN JANUARY OF 2015 WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2013. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, I WAS LOOSING AIR IN ALL FOUR (4) TIRES. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SO I WENT AND I BOUGHT AN AIR PUMP WHICH I USED ALMOST EVERY WEEK TO FILL IN THE AIR I WAS LOSING. RECENTLY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN, ONE OF THE TIRES LOST 15 POINTS PRESSURE WITHIN ONE MILE ON THE ROAD. IT WAS A ZIPLINE FRACTURE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE TIRES FOR ME. I CONTACTED BOTH DUNLOP AND NISSAN AND BOTH KEPT ON THROWING THE PROBLEM ON EACH OTHER. DUNLOP OFFERED TO GIVE ME A REPLACEMENT CREDIT TO BE USED FOR DUNLOP/GOODYEAR TIRES WHICH I DO NOT TRUST. NISSAN REFUSED TO HEAR MY COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WARRANT TIRES EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE DUNLOP TIRES WITH THE NEW VEHICLES. I DO NOT TRUST EITHER OF THE TWO COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THANK GOD THAT WE DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURY OR DEATH BUT THE 2013 TIRES WERE REALLY DEFECTIVE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY RPM GAUGE RACED OVERV7000 THEN DROPPED TO 0 AND I LOST ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTERWARDS. CALLED NISSAN AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING.?NICE HAZARD AS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED AND NISSAN SAID SINCE IT HAD 115K MILES NOTHING THEY WOULD DO ABOUT IT

I CAN NOT SEE AT ALL WITH MY REGULAR HEADLIGHTS ON (LOW BEAMS)..IT IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD AND I DRIVE AROUND WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD EVERYDAY ANDNIGHT...IT'S SOOO BAD AND I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT NISSAN IS TAKING ZERO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS...THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS....THEY SHOULD [XXX] DO SOMETHING CAUSE IT'S VERY UNFAIR THAT NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR [XXX] NEW HEADLIGHTS AND SHELL OUT OVER $600 FOR [XXX] DEFECTED HEADLIGHTS....NEVER EVER BUYING A [XXX] NISSAN EVER AGAIN...IF THEY DON'T EVENTUALLY (SOMETIME SOON) TAKE CARE OF THIS....& DO THE RIGHT THING BY THEIR CUSTOMERS.... 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).

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY, WHEN I ENCOUNTER A HILL OR ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND BUT INSTEAD HESITATES AND STARTS TO SLOW. ONLY WITH A SECOND OR THIRD APPLICATION OF PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL DOES THE VEHICLE START TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. ALSO, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE FROM A SHOPPING CENTER THAT I FREQUENT I HAVE TO CROSS TWO LANES OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE THIRD LANE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. FROM A STANDING FULL STOP I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ADVANCES TWO OR THREE FEET AND THEN COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCES NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE GEARSHIFT LEVER IS IN DRIVE BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. APPROACHING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC IS NOW SWERVING TO AVOID MY STOPPED VEHICLE. THIS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR RESOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM. ON THE LAST OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT FOR FOUR DAYS AND I GAVE PERMISSION TO THE TECHNICIAN TO OPERATE THE CAR AT WILL TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM COULD BE DETECTED. THE VEHICLE HAS 34,000 ON IT. I BELIEVE OPERATING THIS CAR IN THE PRESENT CONDITION PUTS ME AT GREAT RISK. IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED WHILE IT STILL UNDER WARRENTY.

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM (LOW BEAMS). YOU CAN'T NOT SEE 3 FEET UP FRONT AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION. NIGHT DRIVING IS A SERIUS SAFETY ISSUE AND AS THE CAR GETS OLDER THE PROBLEM INCREASES.

DIM HEADLIGHTS, FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL GAVE ME A WARNING TICKET HE WAS CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY AS THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM. JOHN LEE NISSAN WANTS $4000 TO FIX THEM. I NEED HELP. I COMMUTE 112 MILES TO WORK AND I AM IN FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS.
