2015 Nissan Altima complaints

UKNOWN. There is a metal piece under the vehicle that has broken and now scrapes the ground making the vehicle undriveable as this is a safety hazard for sparks and fire. The problem is persistent. The vehicle has not been inspected yet. No warning lights or messages appeared. I was driving in my neighborhood all of a sudden heard a terrible metal grinding noise coming from under my vehicle. I got out and looked and could see something metal had broke and is now dragging the pavement.

CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUSES EXCELERATION ISSUES, VIBRATION WHEN TRYING TO PICK UP SPEED JERKING MOTION OVERRINGING. CITY HIGHWAY WHEN TRYING TO PICK UP SPEED

MY PROBLEMS STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY TURNING IN DARK INTERSECTIONS AT NIGHT. I COULDN'T SEE WELL ENOUGH TO COMFORTABLY NAVIGATE THE INTERSECTION. NOW IT IS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TROUBLE ON DARK CITY STREETS AT NIGHT SEEING UPCOMING CURVES, INTERSECTIONS, OR ANYTHING OUT MORE THAN ABOUT 20' OUT. TURNING ON BRIGHT LIGHTS FIXES THE VISIBILITY PROBLEM, BUT OF COURSE CAUSES ADDITIONAL ISSUES FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I THOUGHT PERHAPS I HAD EYE PROBLEMS AND HAVE BEEN TO AN OPHTHALMOLOGIST TWICE AND THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY NIGHT VISION. I HAVE NO ACCIDENT REPORT OR POLICE REPORTS TO ADD TO MY CONCERN YET. GUESS YOU WILL JUST NEED TO TRUST THAT WHAT I'M DESCRIBING IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT DESERVES YOUR ATTENTION. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS ISSUE.

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V681000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHILE I AM PRESSING ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL ; THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ; THEN A FEW SECOND LATER IT WILL JUMP OUT. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND A CAR WAS COMING; BUT LUCKLY HE NOTICE I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED AT START-UP THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STONE MOUNTAIN NISSAN (4275 US-78, LILBURN, GA 30047) WHERE THEY INFORMED HER THAT THE AIR BAG IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE AIR BAG REPAIR BUT DECLINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,024.

MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION I WAS TOLD IT HAS TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION I THOUGHT IT WAS A CV JOINT I NOT BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE WAY MORE THEN THEN THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE WOULD GET STUCK AND THEN TAKE OFF FAST ALMOST HIT SOMEONE.

CONTROL ARM RUSTED AND SNAPPED AT THE CONNECTION POINT WHERE IT MEETS THE KNUCKLE ON BOTH SIDES A COUPLE MONTHS APART. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION BOTH TIMES THANKFULLY ON A CITY STREET AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP FOR A MANHOLE COVER.

WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON AND THE WHOLE TIME IT IS RUNNING THERE IS A NOISE UNDER THE HOOD SOUNDING. YOU CAN NOT HEAR IT FROM INSIDE BUT WHEN YOU ARE OUTSIDE YOU CAN MOST DEFINITELY HEAR IT AND TELL THE CAR IS ON DUE TO THE NOISE.I THOUGHT IT MAY BE A FAN NOISE DUE TO MAYBE LEAVING THE AC ON BUT EVEN WITH IT OFF AND JUST TURNING ON THE CAR YOU CAN HEAR IT. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT TO MY KNOWLEDGE OR ANY FENDER BENDERS AT THAT. ALSO SOMETIMES AFTER SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND IT'S MY TURN TO GO I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS (NOT HARD) AND IT GOES UP TO LIKE 3/4 RPMS AND IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO DROP DOWN TO REGULAR RPM WHILE DRIVING

MY VEHICLE LUCKILY WAS PARKED AND I ACCIDENTALLY OPENED THE HOOD, BUT THERE WAS ISSUES WITH IT FULLY LATCHING. I FINALLY GOT IT TO CLOSE COMPLETELY. WHEN WILL THERE BE A REMEDY FOR THIS HOOD RECALL BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST A YEAR NEXT MONTH SINCE IT'S BEEN REPORTED. I NEED MY VEHICLE AS IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO GET AROUND AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT.

HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM HAVE BECOME DIMMER OVER TIME.ON NISSAN FORUMS THIS IS A PROBLEM ON DIFFERENT CARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

THE HEAD LIGHTS BARELY WORKS AT NIGHT. IT LOOKS AS IF I DON;T HAVE THEM ON. GET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE. AFTER MEETING ANOTHER CAR YOU HAVE TO STOP AT NIGHT. I HAVE 2006 NISSAN SENTRA NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY HESITATED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ONCE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AT AN UNSAFE, HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE BUT THE CONTACT WAS THEN REFERRED TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ASSISTANCE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECT WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER TO ENSURE THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO STATE LINE NISSAN (10401 MADISON AVE, KANSAS CITY, MO 64114) WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE AND REFUSED TO SERVICE IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,148.

REGARDING MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA...THE HEADLAMPS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. FAR TOO DIM! I AM CONSTANTLY ASKED BY PASSENGERS IF I HAVE MY LIGHTS ON. TO BE SAFE, I NEED TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS; WHICH IN ITSELF IS NOT SAFE, HOWEVER SINCE ONCOMING DRIVERS RARELY FLASH THEIR HIGH BEAMS BACK AT ME, I ASSUME THEY AREN'T VERY BRIGHT EITHER. COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS FOR THIS CAR ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING IT HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS ISN'T A MATTER OF CHANGING THE BULBS. I'M NO MECHANIC, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROJECTOR ISSUE CAUSING MANY OWNERS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. SINCE THIS ISN'T A COSMETIC ISSUE, BUT SAFETY, WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? IT SEEMS TO AFFECT 2013 THROUGH 2015 MODELS THE MOST. SINCE THERE IS NO DATE TO REPORT, AND THIS FORM REQUIRED ONE FOR COMPLETION, I AM PUTTING JANUARY 1ST 2015 AS A DATE.

MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA'S TRANSMISSION JUST WENT OUT AT A MERE 95,000 MILES. I JUST HAD ALL THE TIRES AND BRAKES REPAIRED READY TO GO FOR INSPECTION AND THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY FAILED WHILE MAKING A DELIVERY FOR UBER EATS. THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED STALLING OUT AFTER STOPPING AND GOT WORSE FROM THERE. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING IT JUST WON'T SWITCH GEARS. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WENT HOME AND IT WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 50, I'M LUCKY I EVEN MADE IT HOME. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION I HAD LOOKED AT 3 YEARS AGO AFTER SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENED AND I SAW A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT RELATED TO THIS BUT NOW I AM OUT THE REPAIRS ON THE BRAKES AND TIRES AND STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND I RELY ON UBER EATS. I THINK I GOT SOLD A LEMON. EVER CAR ME OR EVERYONE I KNOW HAD WENT UNTIL EASILY 200-250K MILES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON OLDER VEHICLES; NOW A "NEWER" VEHICLE GOES OUT UNDER 100K? THAT'S WHY THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT FOR THIS AND I REALLY WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN ON IT BECAUSE NOW I'M OUT THE COST OF REPAIRS, I CAN'T DO MY JOB WITHOUT A CAR, AND I'M STUCK WITH THE BILL FOR A CAR THAT DOESN'T WORK SO I'M JUST OUT THAT MONEY.

THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE CAR ARE EXTREMELY DIM, CAUSING A MAJOR ISSUE WITH VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2016 AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2015 AND HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE LACK OF VISIBILITY AT DARKNESS AND THEY REPLACED THE BULBS, WHICH DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PROJECTOR LENS, NOT THE BULBS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE 2013 - 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA'S, YET NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED IT. I FEAR THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

LIGHT ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO EVEN SEE AT NIGHT DRIVING ON DIM, HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAM ON WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS

THE HOOD OF MY CAR KEEPS JAMMING BUT HAS A WEIRD NOISE AT TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. THE DEALERSHIP IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS I'M GUESSING BECAUSE NO ONE NEITHER THE CARS ARE THERE. IT'S AN EMPTY LOT.. THE LAST TIME AS I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CURVY STREET THE HOOD POPPED OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY

HELLO, I DRIVE A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. I'M WRITING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY'VE QUICKLY CORRODED AND DO NOT PROVIDE THE PROPER LIGHTING FOR SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THE LIGHTING IS EXTREMELY DIM, AND HAZY AT ALL TIMES. I OFTEN HAVE TO USE MY FOG LIGHTS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WHICH ARE BRIGHTER THAN MY HEADLIGHTS. IF I'M ABLE TO WITHOUT IMPACTING ANOTHER DRIVERS VISION I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS. I AM A 22 YEAR OLD WITH 20/20 VISION SO THEREFORE THE ISSUE IS NOT MY OWN VISION OR MOTOR SKILLS. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS 2 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR WITH HIGH GRADE HEADLIGHTS AND IT HAS MADE ZERO DIFFERENCE. I ALSO SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS GENERATION OF NISSAN ALTIMA'S. THE VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE AT ALL TIMES.

EXTREMELY LOW VISBILITY. BO MATTER HOW MANY TIMESBIVE CHANGED OR ADJUSTING MY HEADLIGHTS/BULBS THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL. I FINALLY CHANGED THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ITSELF AND NOW I CAN FINALLY SEE 2 FEET IN FRONT OF WHEN ITS DARK OUT. NISSAN USED HORRIBLE QUALITY HEADLIGHTS AT THE COST OF DRIVER SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME FIRM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOCH NISSAN (685 S WASHINGTON ST, NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, MA 02760) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING SHAFT WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND COVERED THE REPAIR COST FOR THE THIRD REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AFTER THE PREVIOUS FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,564.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN I FELT A SLIGHT JOLT AND IT FELT LIKE I HAD A FLAT. I PULLED OVER AND WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT VEHICLE I NOTICED DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WAS OUT OF ALIGN. I LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE AND I SAW THE REAR CONTROL ARM CORRODED AND BROKEN IN TWO.

WIFE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL DUE TO THE RIGHT REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM BREAKING WHILE DRIVING. TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER AND CONTACTED CORP CUSTOMER CARE. I REFERENCED NISSAN SERVICE CAMPAIGN P9324 AS PARTS FOR LISTED 2013/14 ALTIMA WERE SAME AS MY WIFE'S 15. FIRST REP DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE IN REPAIR, NEXT REP TODAY STATED WILL REVIEW. THIS NEEDS TO BE COVERED FOR ALL YEARS USING THIS PART IN AREAS EFFECTED BY ROAD SALT USE. HAD THIS BEEN AT HER USUAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC ACCIDENT WITH LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND ABILITY TO STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, THERE WOULD BE A DELAY TO ACCELERATE WITH THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO FIX THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE: P0776 (PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. HONESTLY I CAN'T REMEMBER IF THEY WERE EVER GOOD WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAN NEW. NO MATTER WHAT LIGHT BULB I PUT IN THERE DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE THEY ARE DIM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS WOBBLY. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM WAS RUSTED. THE LOW-PRESSURE TIRE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHCILE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT CALLED BERTERA NISSAN (569 OXFORD ST S, AUBURN, MA 01501, (508) 832-9611) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,656. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CAR WAS REPAIRED BY CRANSTON AUTO REPAIR.

I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE CAR SHARING PLATFORM THAT I ADVERTISE MY CAR ON THAT IT HAD A RECALL SUMMER OF 2020 AND THAT I COULD NOT PUT MY CAR ON THE PLATFORM UNTIL THE SAFETY ISSUE WAS REPAIRED. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS MOSTLY PREVALENT WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF SALT USED FOR DEICING THE ROADWAYS ON THE EAST COAST. I AM ON THE WEST COAST SO DOES NOT APPLY TO ME. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ANY MONEY WITH MY CAR WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON I PURCHASED IT. I CHECKED TODAY AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX... FOR A HOOD LATCH!! I CAN NOT SELL THE CAR AS AN ACTIVE RECALL, EVEN A MINOR ONE SUCH AS THIS, DEVALUES MY CAR AND I WOULD STILL OWE ON MY LOAN. NISSAN DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON THIS FIX HAS RESULTED IN ME LOSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN INCOME.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD AN OPEN RECALL SINCE MAY 2020. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL "NO REMEDY YET AVAILABLE". DUE TO THIS OPEN RECALL I AM NOT ALLOWED TO RENT MY VEHICLE OUT, CAUSING ME TO LOSE MONEY EVERYDAY!

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM, CHANGED THE BULBS TWICE, STILL DIM. ALSO, FUEL PUMP WENT OUT.

PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF.

WHEN STATIONARY IT HAS A DELAYED ACCELERATION

DIM LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND IT HAS HAPPENED PROGRESSIVELY. REPLACING THE BULB DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND NECESCETATES DRIVING WITH THE HIGH-BEAM HEAD LIGHTS, WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR OTHER DRIVERS.

IN 2018, WHILE FILLING UP MY GAS, I ACCIDENTALLY PULLED THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER INSTEAD OF MY GAS RELEASE LEVER. AFTER PULLING AWAY, WHILE DRIVING THE HOOD RELEASED AND FLEW UP TO MY WINDOW, CAUSING DAMAGE ALONG THE HOOD. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, I HAVE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH NISSAN TO GET IT REPAIRED. THEY INITIALLY DENIED THAT IT WAS THE HOOD LATCH PROBLEM, AS AT THE TIME, MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS (ALTHOUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO ME WAS EXACTLY WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL). I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINT WITH NISSAN CORP WHO INSPECTED MY CAR AND CLAIMED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS A RESULT OF RUSTING TO THE HOOD LATCH SO THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. NOW THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, I TRIED AGAIN TO GET THE DAMAGE REPAIR/COST COVERED, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO DENY MY REQUEST STATING THE RUST CAUSED IT. (THIS RECALL STATES THAT RUST WILL FORM AND CAUSE THE ACCIDENT) I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO TURN TO NOW AS NISSAN IS BEING IMPOSSIBLE TO GET HELP FROM. NOW, EVEN THE HOOD RELEASE LEVER ISN'T WORKING.

WHILE DRIVING THE 'TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT' CAME ON AND THE CAR FELT AS THOUGH IT HAD A FLAT. TIRES LOOKED GOOD. WENT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR LOOKED AS THOUGH THE BODY OF THE CAR WAS ALMOST RESTING ON THE TIRE. A REPAIR GARAGE IS NEXT STORE TO US. BROUGHT IT TO THEM. THEY CALLED TO SAY THAT THE REAR CONTROL ARM DRIVERS SIDE RUSTED AND BROKE AND THAT THE RIGHT SIDE NEEDED REPLACING TO. NISSAN IS NOT HONORING A KNOWN DEFECT AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THAT UNLESS IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT EITHER. WE ARE STUCK PAYING TO REPLACE BOTH REAR CONTROL ARMS AT OUR EXPENSE. WHEN NISSAN IS AWARE THAT IT IS THERE ISSUE AND IT SHOULD COVER ALTIMA'S FROM 2013-2018. OURS IS A 2015. WE LIVE IN ONE OF THE SALT ROCK STATES. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE AND NOT LET THE CONSUMER FOOT THE BILL. UNTIL FIXED WE DON'T HAVE OUR PRIMARY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM PERUZZI NISSAN NEW AND USED SALES (165 LINCOLN HWY, FAIRLESS HILLS, PA 19030) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE VIN, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V315000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE HOOD SAFETY LATCH FAILED CAUSING THE HOOD TO FLY OPEN. THE HOOD CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD AND DAMAGED TWO BODY PANELS ON THE CAR. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON A 4 LANE STATE ROUTE TRAVELING WEST GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. I HAD JUST TURNED ONTO THE ROAD AND WAS ACCELERATING.

AT NIGHT TIME I NOTICED MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE EXTREMELY DIM. LIKE ALMOST CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ROAD DIM WITHOUT SITTING RIGHT AGAINST MY STEERING WHEEL. SO I TURN MY HIGH BEAMS ON TO SEE IF THEY WERE DIM TOO BUT THOSE WERE NORMAL. I REPLACED THEM ALL WITH LED AND THE PROBLEM STILL WAS NOT RESOLVED. I DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON UNTIL I MEET AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AND THEN I USUALLY CAN'T EVEN SEE THE ROAD UNLESS MY BRIGHTS ARE ON(WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THEM AS WELL). IN THE CITY, MY LIGHTS DO NOT EVEN APPEAR THAT THEY ARE ON AT ALL

HEADLIGHT OUTPUT DANGEROUSLY DIM; CAN HARDLY SEE AT NIGHT. WHEN DRIVING ON ROADS WITHOUT STREETLIGHTS NEED HIGH BEAMS ON TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ANYTHING

LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AT NIGHT AND I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHTS WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE RPM'S WHEN VERY HIGH BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO GET OUT OF BUSY TRAFFIC, AND WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED, TRANSMISSION PROBLEM

THE HEADLIGHTS FOR THIS VEHICLE ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT! THEY ARE SO DIM THAT OTHER ONCOMING CARS WILL FLASH THEIR HEADLIGHTS AT ME THINKING I AM USING RUNNING DAYLIGHTS OR HAVE NO LIGHTS ON AT ALL!! I CANNOT SEE THE ROAD WELL AT NIGHT AT ALL AND AM FORCED TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS FOR SAFETY! I ORIGINALLY BELIEVED THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE BULBS THEMSELVES AND I HAVE REPLACED THEM TWICE WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LITERALLY OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR WITH 9 MILES ON IT, IN FEB 2016. THE FIRST BULB REPLACEMENT WAS ON 2.16.2019, AND I HAVE DOCUMENTATION SUPPORTING THAT REPLACEMENT. THE SECOND REPLACEMENT WAS ON 2.22.2020, WHICH I DID MYSELF AS THE COST OF THE LABOR WAS TOO HIGH. THIS ALSO DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WHEN I REACHED OUT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE, THEY ADVISED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PROJECTOR REFLECTIVE FINISH INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THEY STATED THAT NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY HAVE NO PLANS ON A SAFETY RECALL AND MY ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, FOR A WHOPPING $880! NISSAN NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND TAKE CARE OF ITS CONSUMERS. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN CUSTOMER - HAVE PURCHASED FOUR VEHICLES WITHIN 6 YEARS - ALL NEW AND THIS IS HOW I AM TREATED? HOW EVERYONE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND ISSUE IS TREATED? THERE IS A CLASS ACTION INVESTIGATION HAPPENING RIGHT NOW OVER THIS ISSUE, ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCE, NEEDS

I KEEP GETTING EMAILS FROM CAR FAX REGARDING A SAFETY RECALL: THE SECONDARY HOOD LATCH MAY BECOME STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION DUE TO A POTENTIAL FOR CORROSION (IN REGIONS WITH EXCESSIVE ROAD SALT USE) IN THE HOOD LATCH COMBINED WITH IMPROPER INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE. BUT THE RECALL STATUS IS INCOMPLETE: REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT FOR MONTHS AND I AM WONDERING IF I SHOULD BE CONCERNED.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL BECAUSE IT IS OVER 84,000 MILES

HEADLIGHTS EXTREMELY DIM HARD TO SEE DRIVING AT NIGHT

MY LOW BEAMS ARE SO LOW IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE ON AT NIGHT. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. IF I DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS WHICH IS NOT SAFE FOR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I LIVE IN FLORIDA & IT RAINS A LOT. I CAN'T SEE WITH MY LOW BEAMS AND OTHER DRIVERS CAN NOT SEE ME. I AM AFRAID I MAY GET IN AN ACCIDENT IF ONLY USING MY LOW BEAMS OR RECEIVE A TICKET FOR DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS.

I CANNOT RECALL THE EXACT DATE, BUT LATE 2018/EARLY 2019, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET I NOTICED HOW DIM MY HEADLIGHTS WERE. BEING THAT MY CAR IS A 2015 MODEL, I NAIVELY EQUATED IT TO AGE AND LIGHTBULB DIMNESS; WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE. I SWAPPED HEAD LIGHT BULBS, TO NO AVAIL; I OPTED FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE HEAD LIGHT BULB IN AUTOZONE, BUT STILL HELLA DIM. IN MY MOST RECENT VISIT TO SHEEHY NISSAN SERVICE, A RECOMMENDED SERVICE IS TO "REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY/BAD REFLECTIONS." IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE BEING RECOMMENDED, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM VOICED TO SERVICE TECHS BY MANY OTHER 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 3000 MILES. PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW IN 0CTOBER THAT SAME YEAR. ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT AS STRONG AS THEY WERE BEFORE. I FIGURED THE BULBS WERE BEGINNING TO BURN OUT. SO I UPGRADED THEM TO AN LED H11 BULB AS THAT IS THE BULB THE MANUAL SAYS IS REQUIRED. THESE BULBS WERE NOT OVERLY EXPENSIVE BUT THEY WEREN'T CHEAP EITHER. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING. ABOUT ANOTHER YEAR LATER. THEY BEGAN TO GO DIM AS WELL. AT THIS POINT IT'S 2018 AND I CANNOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANYMORE. REPLACING THE ASSEMBLY THROUGH NISSAN WHICH THEY RECOMMEND BUT WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM WOULD COST ME ABOUT $1000+THEIR TAXES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. VISIBILITY AT NIGHT IS ABOUT CLOSE TO ZERO. I CAN'T EVEN PICK UP MY FAMILY AND GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE IT JUST ISN'T SAFE TO DO SO. I HAVE TO MAKE TRIPS DURING THE DAYLIGHT AND BEFORE IT GETS DARK TO AVOID DRIVING DANGEROUSLY INTO THE NIGHT. I WEAR GLASSES AND CONTACTS AND I USE OTHERS DRIVING NEAR AND THEIR HEADLIGHTS TO SEE BETTER THAN MY OWN CAR. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THEY WANT TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AND POSSIBLY REPLACE THEM FOR OVER $1200 WHICH INCLUDES THE DIAGNOSTIC. THEY NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO QUICKLY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST PAID OFF FOR BUT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO EVEN DRIVE ANYMORE. IT'S A CHEAPLY MADE VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO PUT SOMETHING ON A MARKET LIKE THIS. HOW HAVE THERE BEEN NO

DIM HEADLIGHTS ON LOW, MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE SAFELY AT NIGHT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE HEADLIGHTS

THE HEADLIGHTS ON DIM ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO EVEN DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE TO USE HIGH BEAMS TO EVEN SEE THE ROAD.
