2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Electrical System Problems

Tire Pressure light is on but no issues with air pressure.

Shifter Lock does not release when brake is pressed. Unable to shift out of Park. Need to manually press the shift relesae override to shift.

Sometimes when I'm driving the car starts idling as if I'm going fast that's how it sounds and I'm making a turn and it's sounds like it's accelerated but it won't go as much as I step on the gas it will not go so I got to pull over to the side wait for a little bit turn off the car and let it sit and then I'll go back tomorrow and it's every time this light turns on the dashboard with a car with the swively lines

OCS System for Passenger Airbag is not working properly. Went to two dealerships and they said it was not covered under the recall 16V-244. I spoke with Nissan Consumer Affairs and they said that the recall was addressed in the past but was not able to provide when and where. The dealerships I go to for servicing do not have any history of the OCS ever being repaired which means that it was probably repaired sometime with the original owner. Assuming it was actually replaced in the past, with replacement, the part is still failing and not having reached the 15 year mark for the car or the actual recall itself is alarming.

Headlights

The headlights on low beam do not put out enough light to see what is in front of the car and I still have them. It is unsafe to drive a care with inadequate low beam lighting. Yes, dealer confirmed it but said 4/25/2022 was the last date to report the problem to have it replaced as part of the settlement. The dealerships are well aware of this problem. No warning, the lights just gradually got dimmer over time.

THE CAR STARTS GOOD ENGINE SOUNDS GOOD BUT WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE THE CAR TURNS OFF

The airbag light came on the dash and stays on without the vehicle being involved in a crash. I took it to a shop to have it repaired and they stated it was a faulty airbag sensor.

Unknown, but the issue is beneath the passenger seat where it seems a wire has shorted out and even became disconnected and i am unsure but pretty positive that it has something to do with the passenger side airbags because shortly after a diagnostic scan shows several airbag fault codes. Also since then my car’s performance has changed and now i am receiving diagnostic trouble codes for different electrical components such as mas air flow sensor low voltage and its causing my car to stall at random times while driving and even on freeways. It also has caused my car to slow down while fully accelerating on the pedal. Very big safety concern as im driving on the freeway with my family in the car as well.

My 2013 Nissan Altima has serious electrical problems and continues to drain my battery, leaving me seeking alternative transportation to and from home, work, etc. The headlight low and high beams are dangerously dim! I have replaced the bulbs several times and the problems continues to get worse. I have seen litigation online with numerous people involved. I thought NTSB would have acted by now? I have also had numerous problems with the AC not working? I am getting estimates currently looking at a $2,000 problem. This car seems very unsafe and any action form your agency would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

When a passenger sits in the front seat the airbag light on the dashboard indicates the airbag isn't armed. I have had a Nissan dealer "fix" it three times and it starts again in a few weeks. First time dealer said a connection came loose when the seat was adjusted. Same thing the second time and the third time they said they secured the connection. the light came on in a matter of weeks again . I will take the car back for a fourth time soon. I asked the dealer service rep if there were any service bulletins regarding this problem, he said there weren't any, I feel that I can't have the only car with this problem. Whenever there is a passenger in the front seat I worry about being involved in an accident and their airbag not deploying.

UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN ENGAGING FOOT BRAKE WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. SHIFT IS STUCK IN PARK. HAVE TO USE TOOL IN SHIFT LOCK RELEASE TO MOVE BETWEEN GEARS TO DRIVE CAR. I WAS DRIVING AND WAS STOPPED AT A RAILWAY CROSSING. PUT CAR IN PARK. ONCE TRAIN HAD PASSED I TRIED TO PUT CAR IN DRIVE POSITION AND WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. AFTER READING MANUAL I DISCOVERED THAT IF A FAULT OCCURS YOU MUST USE A TOOL ON THE SHIFT LOCK BUTTON RELEASE TO MOVE VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS.

WHEN IN THE PARKED POSITION AND IDLE, THE PRESSING OF THE SHIFT TRIGGER ON THE SHIFTER WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO SHIFT FROM PARKED TO ANY OTHER POSITION (IT IS STUCK) DUE TO THE FAILURE OF A SELENOID SENSOR NOT ACTIVATING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE SHIFTING TO TAKE PLACE.

THE VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM THE PARK (P) POSITION WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN SHIFT LOCK ISSUE BASED ON SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AS WELL AS NISSAN OWNER TESTIMONIES. THE FAULT AS IT WAS EXPLAINED BY A NISSAN TECHNICIAN WAS THE SHIFTER SHORTS-OUT THE SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID WHICH ENGAGES THE UNLOCK FOR THE SHIFTER WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. COST TO REPAIR THE ISSUE IS ROUGHLY $800 BY REPLACING THE SHIFT HANDLE ASSEMBLY AND THIS "REPAIR" IS DUE TO A FAILURE OF A LOW COST SOLENOID SWITCH. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE OF FAULTY DESIGN. ACCORDING TO NISSAN, THIS IS NOT A SAFETY OR DESIGN ISSUE, BUT WEAR AND TEAR OF THE VEHICLE. HOPEFULLY NHTSA WILL REVIEW THE FACTS OF THESE COMMON OCCURRENCES AND DETERMINE IF IT IS INDEED WORTHY OF RECALL REPAIR.

MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA SL VIN: [XXX] IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO SHIFT WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE TO USE A PENCIL/ETC IN THE SHIFT LOCK RELEASE BYPASS AREA EVERYTIME. SEARCHING THE WEB AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY CARS ARE HOBBLED BY A THIN PIECE OF METAL ON A CHEAP $3 MICRO SWITCH IN THE SHIFTER. BENDING THE SMALL METAL TAB ON THE MICRO SWITCH APPARENTLY CAN FIX THE ISSUE SO IT MAKES CONTACT AGAIN. DEALERS WANT $700 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS.

Mileage: 93,500

HEAD LIGHT LOW BEAMS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. EVEN, I CANNOT SEE 2 METERS IN FRONT OF THE CAR AT NIGHTS. AND THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED WITH THE LIGHT BULBS. IT IS RELATED WITH THE HEADLIGHT PROJECTOR HOUSING (CONFIRMED FROM DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS AND INTERNET COMPLAINTS) THAT IS LOSING ITS EFFECTIVENESS BY THE TIME. ALSO, REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COSTLY. BASICALLY, BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAVE TO BE CHANGED. WE, AS ALTIMA OWNERS, ARE WAITING FOR THE RECALL ACTION SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PROBLEM FROM THE NISSAN COMPANY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS VERY COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM AMONG 2013 -2015 ALTIMAS.

THE 7 INCH CENTRAL AUDIO-VISUAL AND NAVIGATION UNIT PERIODICALLY CHANGES RADIO STATIONS, CRASHES THE NAVIGATION DISPLAY, OR CRASHES ENTIRELY GOING BLANK, AND MAY OR MAY NOT ASK FOR SD CARD UPON REBOOT. ON ONE OCCASION THE ACCELERATOR ALSO STUCK REQUIRING THE CAR TO TAKEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF. CANNOT BE SURE IF THE TWO EVENTS WERE RELATED BUT THEY HAPPENED SIMULTANEOUSLY. IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS THE MISBEHAVIOR OF THE CENTRAL DISPLAY UNIT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE. NISSAN DEALER AND NATIONAL SUPPORT ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM OR BEING WILLING TO FIX IT. THERE IS NO ESCALATION PROCEDURE TO FACTORY ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE SUPPORT. THEY WILL NOT TAKE THE ELEMENTARY STEP TO REFLASH THE FIRMWARE OR BEING WILLING TO CHANGE OUT THE UNIT. MULTIPLE EXAMPLES OF THIS PROBLEM ARE REPORTED ONLINE IN NISSAN'S OWNER PORTAL FOR THIS MODEL YEAR AND THE NEXT.

MY LIGHTS REAL DIM AT NIGHT SO I REPLACE THEM WITH NEW LED LIGHTS AND THEY STILL LOOKS DIM I CAN'T SEE NOTHING THIS IS REAL SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GOT KIDS

CAN NOT MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK AT TIMES, I HAVE TO USE THE GEAR SHIFT RELEASE MECHANISM. THE GEAR SHIFT WILL MOVE SOMETIMES BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE INSTALLED BRIGHTER LIGHTS AND THAT WAS WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE THEY STILL DON'T SHINE BRIGHTER.

AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW, FIRST OWNER IN SEPTEMBER 2013, 4 MONTHS LATER THE LEFT FOG LIGHT WENT OUT DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT. TWO MONTHS LATER THE RIGHT HEAD LIGHT WENT OUT. THOUGHT IT WAS WEIRD BUT DID NOT STRESS MYSELF ABOUT IT. A YEAR LATER THE RIGHT REAR LIGHT ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU TAP IT. NOW I AM DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS ARE OUT FROM THE CAR. NO BRAKE LIGHTS NO PARK LIGHTS NO LIGHTS. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TIRE KINGDOM TO CHANGE BULBS ONLY TO FIND OUT THE NEW BULBS ARE NOT WORKING EITHER AND THE VEHICLE HAS A N ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. NEVER DID UNDERSTAND WHY DRIVERS BEHIND ME WOULD HONK THEIR HORNS AT ME OR BE FLASHING ME WITH THEIR HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS THEIR AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ONLY GETS COOL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. YOU CANNOT HAVE THE A/C ON WHEN BEING STATIONARY THE A/C ONLY PRODUCES HEAT DURING THAT TIME.

I WAS TURNING RIGHT TO PARK MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA AND I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR TO STOP AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED OVER THE CONCRETE CURB STOP. IT CONTINUED TO RUN UPSLOPE TO THE BUSHES AND OVER THREE BIG ROCKS WHILE I WAS TRYING TO AVOID HITTING THE FENCE IN THE FRONT AND BRAKING IT. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE FORWARD AND I KEPT TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID A FENCE. THE CAR RAN OVER THE CURB STOP OF ANOTHER PARKING SPACE ABOUT FIVE SPACES ON THE RIGHT. THE BOLT IN THE CONCRETE STOP PUNCTURED MY OIL PAN AND THE ROCKS RIBBED OFF THE PLASTIC SHIELDS UNDERNEATH. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUMPING THE BRAKE AND WIND UP IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I CHECKED MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. MY CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 43000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS HAPPENED AT THE PARKING LOT OF BERTELSON MEMORIAL PARK IN EL DORADO HILLS IN CALIFORNIA. WE BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR WHILE I WAS TURNING RIGHT AND BRAKING AND TRIED TO PARK. ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE EXPERT, AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER WHO HAS STUDIED SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN CARS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, STATED THAT "IF YOU'RE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, YOU HAVE A LOT OF STRESS ON THE FRONT DRIVE SYSTEM, SINCE EVERYTHING IS BASED ON RUNNING THROUGH THE COMPUTER, INCLUDING SENSORS ON YOUR DRIVE SYSTEMS, ANY ONE OF THOSE COULD CARRY ONTO THE SYSTEM, CARRY ON TO THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER AND ATTACK IT." WE FELT VERY UNFAIR TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 35K MILES ON IT, I CAME TO A STOPLIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND MY CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, I COULD NOT MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL, IT JUST CUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO CUT MY CAR BACK ON, HOWEVER WHENEVER I SHIFTED MY GEAR INTO DRIVE IT CUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE BUT REPROGRAMMED MY CVT SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR MY CAR. THEY DETERMINED THAT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 25 MINUTES THAT DAY AND 25 MINUTES THE NEXT THAT THE CVT REPROGRAMMING COULD HAVE BEEN THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM BUT TO RETURN IT TO THE DEALER IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. 3 DAYS LATER MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING AND STALLING VERY ROUGHLY WHILE IN MOTION AND AGAIN CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE IN DRIVE. THIS TIME MY YOUNG SON WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, AND HIM AND I COULD HAVE BOTH BEEN HARMED OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND HARMED SOMEONE ELSE.

THE NISSAN ALTIMA STARTS THROUGH A TECHNOLOGY CALLED "PUSH TO START". WHEN I GET INTO MY VEHICLE, THE DASHBOARD SAYS "KEY ID INCORRECT". THIS STARTED HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTER MY CAR WAS PROGRAMMED FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WILL NOT START SINCE YOU NEED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. THERE IS NO MANUAL WAY TO START THE CAR, AND IF THE KEY IS NOT RECOGNIZED FOR TOO LONG THE CAR HAS STOPPED DRIVING WHILE IN MOTION. LASTLY, THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK WHEN YOU ARE INSIDE AND THE KEY ID IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED. IF YOU ARE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION THIS CAN BE PROBLEMATIC.

I DROVE MY CAR ON FEBRUARY 28 FROM MY GARAGE IN MY HOUSE IN BOLTON, MA TO LEXINGTON MA AT 9 AM. UPON STARTING, I NOTICED A SLIGHT STRANGE SMELL. IT WAS A BIT LIKE OIL OR MAYBE CHEMICAL SMELLS BUT I AM NOT SURE AS I HAD NOT SMELLED THIS BEFORE. I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS AS I DROVE TO CLEAR IT AND KEPT AN EYE ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, WHICH WAS NORMAL. AFTER 5 MINS, THE SMELL CLEARED, THE HEAT TEMP WAS NORMAL AND I DROVE FOR ABOUT 40 MINS WHILE TALKING ON MY BLUETOOTH. I PARKED IN FRONT OF GRACE CHAPEL IN LEXINGTON ON THE STREET AND AS I PULLED TO A STOP TO PARK ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH, I NOTICED SOME SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE CAR. WITHIN MOMENTS THERE WERE FLAMES AND I CALLED 911 AS I GOT OUT. I HAD ONLY TIME TO GET MY PURSE, MY BAG AND THE FOOD IN THE TRUNK I WAS BRINGING FOR THE PANTRY AND MOVED AWAY. WITHIN 3 MINUTES, IT WAS ENGULFED ABOUT 30% UP TO THE WINDSHIELD AS THE FIRST POLICE ARRIVED. HE MOVED THE CAR PARKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF MINE, THANK GOD. TWO MINUTES LATER FIREMEN CAME AND ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER THEY HAD WATER ON THE CAR BUT IT WAS FULLY ENGULFED. THEY WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE DAMAGE TO ONLY AFFECT TWO OTHER CARS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE STREET ACROSS FROM MY CAR, SEPARATED BY A SIDEWALK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED BY US. NO ACCIDENTS. NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. ALL RECALLS FOLLOWED. I DRIVE NORMALLY. OIL CHANGES ARE DONE REGULARLY. NO MECHANICAL WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THE CAR. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE V6 2013 ALTIMAS FOR POSSIBLE FIRE ISSUES. MINE IS A V4.

I BOUGHT A NISSAN ALTIMA 2013. BACK IN FEBRUARY THE CAR WOULD START AND WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I PUT IT ON DRIVE AND REVERSE. THIS HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT THERE FOR A MONTH AND THEY STILL WERE NOT ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. EVEN THOUGH A TECHNICIAN DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM THE CAR COMPUTER WOULD STILL SAY THE CAR IS FINE .I TOOK IT TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM A NISSAN MASTER TECHNICIAN AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH THE CAR STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY A 3RD PLACE I TOOK THE CAR THAT IT MIGHT BE A SENSOR ISSUE AND THE CAR LITERALLY DECIDES WHEN'S GOING TO WORK AND NOT AND THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE IWTH THE ALTIMA. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THE CAR WOULD TOOK OFF WITH ME AT A RED LIGHT WHEN I JUST TAP THE GAS. I WAS AT A RED LIGHT THE LIGHT TURN GREEN I TP THE GAS THE RPMS JUMPED AD THE ACCELARATED IN HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARDS AFTER I PUT IT IN REVERSE IMMIDIATELY, IT WOULD STAY IDEL FOR ABOUT 5 TEN SECONDS THAN GO. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR HE COMPUTERS KEEPS SAYING THE CR IS FINE. I HAVE TOLD NISSAN HEADQUATERS THAT I FEEL UNSAFE WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR. LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS A ON GOING DEFECT WITH THE ALTIMA 2013 THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE AND IM STARTING TO FEEL ITS PUTTING MY LIFE AND SOMEONE S WITH THIS CARELSE IN DANGER AND THERE RESPONSE WAS BASICALLY TOUGH LUCK. RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS CRANKING BUT NOT START . I FEEL LIKE NISSAN DID A POOR JOB WITH THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD

I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW YEAR 2013 IN 2014 I NOTICED A ROARING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET AT SLOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. AROUND CHRISTMAS EVE I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR DIED OUT ON ME ON THE STREET. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DID THEIR DIAGNOSIS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WHICH THEY SAID HAD INTERNAL PROBLEMS AND ALSO REPROGRAM THE SYSTEM OF THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR AT 29,326 MILES WHICH IS ODD TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS A NEWER CAR. SO NOW ITS 2016 AND I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN TO THE DEALER TODAY BECAUSE IT SEEMED AS THE WINDOWS WOULD ROLL DOWN SLOW, THE CAR WOULDNT ACCELERATE RIGHT AWAY WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS (STALLING) AND IT WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP, AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP IT WOULD JERK AS IF SOMEONE HIT MY REAR END. THEY DID THE DIAGNOSIS AND SAID THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION. SO I NOW BELIEVE THERE IS INTERNAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR WHICH IS PROBABLY GOING TO LEAD TO THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION TO GO ON ME. AND IT IS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM BECAUSE I SHOULDNT OF HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THESE FOR A 2013 NOW AT 46,000 MILES

FOR UNKNOWN REASONS, THE BRAKES STAY ON CAUSING THE CAR TO EITHER NOT MOVE, OR TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE GEAR SHIFTER CAN BE MOVED OUT OF PARK WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. ALSO, THE CAR CAN BE STARTED WITHOUT HAVING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. SOMETIMES, THE OUTSIDE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON, SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. I REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH AND MANUALLY OPERATING THE SWITCH WOULD NOT MAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING, THE BRAKE SYSTEM WILL RELEASE AND VEHICLE ACCELERATES RAPIDLY, TO THE POINT OF LOSING CONTROL. SOMETIMES, A QUICK PUMP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL RELEASE WHATEVER IS GOING ON-SOMETIMES NOTHING WILL CAUSE IT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. REMOVING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WILL TURN OFF THE LIGHTS, BUT WILL NOT RESET THE PROBLEM. DEALER HAS NO SUGGESTIONS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, EXCEPT TO LET THEM KEEP THE CAR AND TO START REPLACING PARTS UNTIL THEY MAKE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY. NISSAN AMERICA SAYS NISSAN HAS ALREADY SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY TRYING TO RESOLVE PREVIOUS ISSUES ON THIS CAR AND WOULD NOT SPEND ANOTHER PENNY!!!

I THOUGHT THEY HAD TAKEN CARE OF IT WHEN THEY TOLD ME THE LIGHT SHOULDN'T COME BACK ON. THEY SAID THE CODE WAS FOR REPROGRAMMING THE MASS AIR SYSTEM. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON BUT THIS TIME I LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS ON BEING REAR-ENDED WHILE HAVING MY SON IN THE CAR. I HAD TO GET OFF IMMEDIATELY AND DRIVE DOWN TO THE DEALER WHICH TOOK ME IT SEEMED FOREVER BECAUSE IT WOULD BARELY MOVE. I HAD TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS CLOSING. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WAS CALLED AND TOLD THAT IT REQUIRED REPROGRAMMING OF THE MASS AIR SYSTEM. I HAD THEM DO IT BUT IT TOOK THEM 1 DAY TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ME. ABOUT 2 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THIS TIME FINDING THE PROBLEM WASN'T AS EASY. THEY KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE LETTING ME KNOW THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE THROTTLE CHAMBER REPLACED. REALLY NOW...CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON A TOTAL OF 2 TIMES IN 1 YEAR + 2 MORE TIME IN ANOTHER YEAR, 1 ALTERNATOR REPLACED IN 1 YEAR , 1 THROTTLE CHAMBER REPLACED IN ALMOST 2 YEARS, LEAKING REAR SHOCKS IN 1 YEAR AND NISSAN DOES NOTHING TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A CONSTANT SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

A WEEK AND A HALF THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND MY HUSBAND, BEING FEED UP, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED FOR $160 AND THAT'S WHY THE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. THE UPDATE WAS DONE ON 4/20/2015. TODAY, 4/22/2015, I WENT TO MY SON'S SPORTS BANQUET AND THE LIGHT IS BACK ON. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TAKING IT BACK UP THERE ON THE 24TH. I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE SOMETHING IS GOING ON AND WE ARE NOT BEING TOLD ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND EVERYTHING BUT NOTHING HAS COME UP. I AM JUST ABOUT READY TO GET RID OF A 2013 CAR THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD FOR A FULL 2 MONTHS. *TR

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN #14V138000 ON 3/11/15. ON 3/12/15, THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CONTINUED TO OPERATE IMPROPERLY (E.G. NOT DETECTING AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT). THIS HAS BEEN NOTED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE OCS SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED BY THE OEM. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES I'VE BEEN DRIVING AND OR SITTING IDLE. THE RADIO HAS FROZEN TO WHERE I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, AND RESTART IT. THIS MAY TEMPORARILY CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND MULTIPLE TIMES HAVE I BEEN LAUGHED AT AND TOLD I'M BEING RIDICULOUS. I HAVE HAD THE UNIT REPROGRAMMED, AND STILL NO LUCK. SECOND ISSUE IS MY BACKUP CAMERA. WORKS WHEN IT WANTS, HALF WAY WORKS, OR DON'T WORK AT ALL. WHERE I'M PAYING SO MUCH FOR A VEHICLE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS ONCE AGAIN I WAS TOLD NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND TO DEAL WITH IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

AS MANY OTHERS HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED, THIS 2013 ALTIMA WILL NOT DETECT AN ADULT PASSENGER (140+ LBS) AND WILL TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE INITIAL SAFETY RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED ON THE CAR (PRIOR TO OUR PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE), BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL DEALERS WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT APPEARS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THIS HUGE SAFETY CONCERN MAKES THE CAR UNUSABLE WHEN WE NEED TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN THE CAR AND WE CANNOT GET THE AIRBAG TO WORK PROPERLY. NHTSA: PLEASE FORCE NISSAN TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE! *TR

THE DASHBOARD SAYS: KEY NOT DETECTED OR NO KEY, OR INCORRECT KEY ID. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP AND THEY STILL DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. I'VE RECENTLY WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER HOPING THEY CAN WORK ON MY CAR AND GET ME THE RESULTS I'M LOOKING FOR... I COMPLETELY HATE THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN N THE SHOP MORE TIMES THAN MY LAST CAR. ALL THEY KEPT SAYING WAS MORE COMPUTER PROBLEMS. I GOT MY CAR 12/2012 AND MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER 20 TIMES WITH LOTS OF ISSUES. I'M STILL WITHIN MY 36000 WARRANTY. I ALSO HEAR A CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT TIRE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED SOME BOLTS AND GREASED IT AS WELL. THEY SAID IT NEEDED GREASE.. THE NOISE HAS CAME BACK ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER!! ITS TIME CONSUMING TO KEEP GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET REPAIRS!! BUT I HAVE TO DO IT. I HAD THE RECALL FOR AIR BAGS BUT IT STILL DIDN'T REGISTER AN ADULT WHO SAT IN THE FRONT SEAT WHO WEIGHED ABOUT 103 LBS. SO HIS AIR BAG WOULDN'T DEPLOY IF WE GOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THAT ISN'T SAFE AT ALL.. PLS FIX AND CHANGE THAT FEATURE FOR THE SAKE OF SMALLER ADULTS. NISSAN SHOULDN'T RESTRICT THE WEIGHT OF A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER.. ALL THESE PROBLEMS....

I PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA IN JULY 2014 WITH 36,000 MILES. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE SOURCE AND IT WOULD REQUIRE FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR $80. I DISAGREED AND LEFT. TWO DAYS LATER, MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE TRAVELING ALONG INTERSTATE 10 WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. AS I MERGED OVER TO THE LEFT LANE, EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WENT DEAD JUST AS I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED 10 MINUTES BEFORE I ATTEMPTED TO START IT UP AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. AT THAT POINT, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY WOULD NEED TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART. I WAS WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS WHEN I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THE CAR WAS READY. I SENT MY MOTHER TO PICK UP THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS AT WORK. THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE ANY REPAIR SUMMARY TO SHOW WHAT REPAIRS WERE MADE. FAST FORWARD THREE WEEKS...MY FAMILY WAS TRAVELING TO MOBILE, ALABAMA TO DEPART FOR OUR ANNUAL WALT DISNEY WORLD TRIP, WHEN YOU GUESSED IT...THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH MY FOOT WAS LITERALLY ON THE GROUND. I PULLED OVER ONCE AGAIN AND DIDN'T TRY TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON EVERY SINCE. I HAVE CONSTANTLY FOUGHT WITH THE SELLER (BOB TYLER TOYOTA) ABOUT RETURNING THIS VEHICLE. I SOLD A 2006 HONDA ACCORD EX-L WITH 176,000 MILES TO PURCHASE THIS LEMON. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE CLUNKER.

I HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE THIRD DAY AFTER PURCHASE. THE BRAKES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND I HAD IT IN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER "DUPLICATE" ANYTHING. THEN THE CAR STARTED TO MISFIRE AND EMIT A THICK BLACK SMOKE FROM EXHAUST. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND AT FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL BECAUSE THE CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION. THEN THEY SAID BRING IT IN FOR ASSESSMENT. A SERVICE TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE WITH ME AND EXPERIENCED THIS FIRST HAND. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT SERVICE IT THAT DAY, BUT TO BRING IT BACK IN. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER, THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN MUCH BACK AND FORTH. I ASKED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS WERE LIFE THREATENING. THE CAR ACTUALLY SHUT OFF ON ME, TWICE, IN TRAFFIC. WHEN I LAST CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, ON JULY 24TH, 2014, ABOUT THE MAJOR ISSUES I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING; THE EARLIEST THEY SAID THEY COULD SEE ME WOULD BE ON AUGUST 11TH, 2014.

AS I WAS ON A TRIP, I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED 125 MILES TO MY HOMETOWN DEALERSHIP AT THE COST OF $230.00, OUT OF POCKET. THE ONLY REASON I GOT IT HOME THAT CHEAPLY WAS BECAUSE I HAVE FOUR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE COVERAGE PACKAGES AND LUCKILY ONE OF THEM COVERED TOWING UP TO 100 MILES.

MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I MENTIONED TO THE DEALER THAT THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS SAYING AROUND 20 MPG AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED IT TO TRACK THE MPG MYSELF BECAUSE THE COMPUTER FROM THE CAR IS NOT ACCURATE. I TRACKED THE MILES AND THE RESULTS WERE 20 MPG. I TOOK THAT CAR IN TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IS THE MILEAGE THAT I WAS GOING TO GET. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC KEY THAT ON MULTIPLE TIMES "NO KEY DETECTED" MESSAGE COMES UP AND IT TAKES ME A WHILE FOR THE CAR TO START.

RE: KEYLESS IGNITION SYSTEMS. THIS WAS A RENTAL CAR SO I DON'T KNOW VIN OR MILEAGE, OR EXACT YEAR. I RENTED A CAR LAST WEEK IN SAN DIEGO, MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH KEYLESS IGNITIONS. I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ONE DAY AND WAS NOT USED TO THIS SYSTEM. LATE AT NIGHT I PARKED CAR, PUSHED THE IGNITION TO "OFF" STARTED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, WHEN CAR STARTED DRIVING FORWARD BECAUSE I HAD FORGOTTEN TO PUT IT IN PARK. I WAS KNOCKED DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, IT WAS PITCH BLACK OUTSIDE, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING, UNTIL I SAW THE CAR DRIVING AWAY. I MANAGED TO CHASE THE CAR AND JUMP BACK INSIDE BEFORE IT HIT ANYTHING. HOWEVER, MY KNEE WAS TORN UP REALLY BAD, AND I AM STILL DEALING WITH THE INJURY MORE THAN A WEEK LATER. NOT HAVING ANY WARNING/SAFETY MEASURE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK, COUPLED WITH A WHISPER QUIET ENGINE, IS A TOTALLY DANGEROUS COMBINATION, AND CLEARLY DEADLY FROM MANY ON LINE ACCOUNTS I HAVE READ. DON'T KNOW HOW THIS RIDICULOUS IDEA EVER MADE IT TO FACTORY, MUCH LESS APPROVED WITHOUT ANY WARNING SYSTEM IN PLACE. I HATE THESE CARS AND THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED. AT LEAST IN A REGULAR CAR THE KEYS WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION OF THE CAR IS NOT IN THE 'PARK' POSITION. I AM LUCKY THE CAR DID NOT RUN OVER ME, OR SOMEONE INNOCENT BYSTANDER. BUT I WOULD IMAGINE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS LIKE MINE THAT ENDED MUCH WORSE. LIKE I SAID, THESE CARS ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED, AND THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. *TR

SAFETY CONCERN, PROPER OPERATION OF AIR BAGS (SRS LIGHT ON). THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW NISSAN ALTIMA 2013, A MAJOR LIGHT INDICATOR CAME ON. THIS LIGHT BROUGHT UP CONCERNS. ARE THE AIR BAGS WORKING PROPERLY? WILL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY CORRECTLY UPON IMPACT? ARE THE AIR BAGS WORKING AT ALL? WILL THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING? WILL THE AIR BAGS IMPLODE AND AFFECT THE STEERING PROCESS? IS THIS AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRONIC OR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION? AFTER BUYING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, SHOULD I EVEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES, QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS?

THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING, THE BRAKE SYSTEM, BUBBLING PAINT AND CONCERNS WITH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND INTERIOR COMPARTMENT OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE. ALL THIS IS REFLECTED IN EACH OF THE INVOICES SUBMITTED FOR YOUR PERUSAL. IN ADDITION, UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUOUSLY HAS A ROUGH IDLE, A ROUGH START AT TIMES THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT. HE IS AT A LOSS BECAUSE WHO SHOULD HE TAKE HIS VEHICLE WITH THIS CONCERN? ALL IN ALL, SIR ALL THESE VEHICLE DISCREPANCIES ARE TROUBLING TO HAVE WITH A BRAND NEW NISSAN ALTIMA 2013 AND ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITHIN THE LAST NINE MONTHS. ALSO, THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING, THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND CONCERNS WITH THE ENGINE AND INTERIOR COMPARTMENTS. IN ADDITION, UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUOUSLY HAD A ROUGH IDLE, A ROUGH START AT ALL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL.

THE BEST I CAN DO TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY 2013 ALTIMA IS TO COMPARE IT TO THE JERKING YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IN A STICK SHIFT VEHICLE IF YOU DO NOT CLUTCH AND SHIFT PROPERLY ALMOST CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP. ONCE I WAS ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR ACTED AS IF THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED IT (ST.CLAIR AUTO MALL), THE MECHANIC DROVE IT AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY HE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. WE DROVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (SERVICE DEPT.). HE LOOKED UP SOME INFORMATION IN THE COMPUTER, SAID DIAGNOSTICS TESTS WERE RAN BUT THE TEST(S) TURNED UP NOTHING. AND ALSO THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH INDICATING A PROBLEM. SO, FOR THAT REASON NOTHING COULD BE DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAIURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

DRIVER' SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEALERS TO REPLACE THE MIRROR AND MIRROR HOUSING AND PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. MIRROR CONTINUES TO VIBRATE. ALSO, I GOT SEVERAL LETTERS OF RECALLS ON THIS CAR, SUCH AS THE SENSORS ON THE AIRBAGS AND THE SPARE TIRE BEING OVER-INFLATED. ALSO, THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS TURNED ON TWICE AND DOES NOT TURN OFF, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL, THIS CAR IS A LEMON. *TR

WELL MY BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM AND LANE DETECTION SYSTEM BOTH DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. MY BSM WILL LIGHT UP WHEN THERE IS NOT A CAR THERE AS WELL AS NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THERE IS A CAR THERE. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN BUT NOT EVERYTIME. WHEN IT RAINS IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERYTIME. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IF YOU READ THE OWNERS MANUAL IT SAYS THAT THIS MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. REALLY? I BOUGHT KNOWING THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THIS FEATURE WORKS NOT THAT IT DOES NOT WORK! THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO DIAGNOSE IT. VERY SAD. AND SAME WITH THE LDS WHERE IT WILL BEEP AND BLINK AND I AM NOT EVEN OUT OF MY LAN. AGAIN THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS DRY, WET, SUNNY, CLOUDY, SNOWING. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG AND NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THE CUSTOMERS HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THESE FEATURES! *TR

WELL I NOTICED THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WAS ON WITH A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE VEHICLE, IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES, AND I EVEN HAVE A VIDEO OF ME SITTING IN IT AND I WEIGHT 180LBS WITH THE LIGHT ON WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE RESET THE SEAT. IT IS STILL DOING IT, THE VIDEO CAME AFTER THE THIRD TIME AND JUST 3 DAYS AGO. I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND MY OTHER BIG PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS THROUGH NISSAN AND YET I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3 SEPARATE TIMES AND THEY STILL KEEP TELLING ME ITS OK. NO SIR. NISSAN SEEMS TO JUST NOT CARE I HAVE ASKED THEM MANY TIMES FOR A NISSAN REP TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT MY CAR AND THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THE PROBLEM IS ALL THE NISSAN DEALERS AROUND ME ARE OWNED AND MANAGED BY THE SAME COMPANY. AND NISSAN WILL NOT HELP ME WITH A LOANER CAR IF I DRIVE IT 200 MILES AWAY TO THE NEXT DEALER. SO I AM JUST SCREWED. VERY UPSET WITH HOW NISSAN RUNS THEIR BUSINESS. THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN EVER! *TR

AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF OWNING THIS NEW CAR, THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ONWHILE I WAS DRIVING. I STARTED HEARING SQUEALING AND THUNKING COMING FROM MY BRAKES. THESE ARE NEW AND ON A NEW CAR, THE CAR JUST NOW HAS 6000 MILES ON IT AND IT STILL SHOULD NOT MAKES THESE SOUNDS. I TOOK IT IN THEY DID SOMETHING TO CLEAR THE BRAKE LIGHT AND SAID THE NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS SHOULD NOT BE MAKING ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT NOISES. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIND THE PROBLEMS OF THEIR CARS AND FIX THEM! I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING STILL WRONG BUT THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO LOOK ANY FURTHER. *TR

I LOVE THE FACT THAT MY CAR HAS THE HEATED STEERING WHEEL AND FOR PAYING SO MUCH FOR THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS WONDERFUL FEATURE YOU WOULD EXPECT IT TO WORK. WELL IT DID FOR THE FIRST MONTH, BUT I USED IT ALOT, USUALLY ON HIGHWAY TRIPS WHEN IT WOULD CUT OFF I WOULD TURN IT BACK ON, THEN ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THAT I NOTICED IT WAS ONLY GETTING WARM AT THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND NOT THE REST. THEN A LITTLE LATER IT DOESN'T EVEN GET WARM ANYMORE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SERVICE AT LEAST 2 DIFFERENT TIMES, AND THEY JUST TELL ME THAT IT IS NORMAL. BUT IN THE ARMADA, AND MAXIMA THEY LOANED ME WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP THOSE SEEMED TO WORK FINE. THEIR ANSWER TO THAT IS THAT IN THE ALTIMA IT READS THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE CAR TO DETERMINE HOW HOT IT GETS. THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IN MARCH OF 2013 HERE IN NORTHERN VA WE HAD A BIG SNOWFALL. I WENT TO MY CAR AT 3:40 AM THE DAY OF THE SNOWFALL, AND STARTED IT. IT WAS ABOUT 28 DEGREES OUTSIDE, AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR FELT THE SAME. I TURN ON THE HEATED STEERING IT I NEVER FELT IT THE ENTIRE 30 MILES I DROVE. TO ME IT FEELS LIKE THE ELECTRICITY IS NOT GETTING TO ANY OR ALL OF THE HEATING ELEMENT. NISSAN SAYS TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, BUT ALL THE DEALERS AROUND ME ARE OWNED AND MANAGED BY THE SAME. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS DRIVING - EVERYTHING WENT DARK AND GAUGES DROPPED TO ZERO. THE DEALER TOOK IT RIGHT AWAY AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE CAR HAS 940 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME AND I HAD PURCHASED IT NEW 14 DAYS EARLIER. MILES DID NOT ACCUMULATE ON DRIVE TO THE DEALER (I COULD SEE THIS B/C I STOPPED THE CAR WHEN THE PANEL WENT DARK, BUT UPON RESTARTING THE MILEAGE WOULD DISPLAY BRIEFLY THEN DISAPPEAR. I DID THIS AGAIN AFTER I DROVE ABOUT 15 MILES TO THE DEALER - MILES WERE THE SAME). *TR

I WAS DRIVING A BRAND-NEW, NISSAN ALTIMA RENTAL CAR ON A BUSINESS TRIP. AFTER I RETURNED TO MY HOTEL ONE AFTERNOON, I FORGOT TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THIS VEHICLE HAS A KEY FOB AND A "START/STOP" BUTTON ONLY. THERE IS NO METAL KEY. AFTER I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT THE HORN DID NOT HONK WHEN I LOCKED THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB. THE TRUNK RELEASE DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY OPEN WHEN I USED THE KEY FOB. I MANUALLY PRESSED A BUTTON UNDER THE TRUNK LID TO RETRIEVE MY BAG. THE NEXT MORNING, I NOTICED STEAM AND WATER COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST TAILPIPES. (IT WAS APP. 34 DEGREES THAT MORNING.) I DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, AND THE CAR USED APP. 3/8S OF A TANK OF GASOLINE OVERNIGHT. MY CONCERN IS THAT A CAR LIKE THIS COULD BE DRIVEN INTO A GARAGE WITH THE ENGINE LEFT ON, AND THEN THE OCCUPANTS OF THE RESIDENCE COULD GET CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING FROM THE EXHAUST FUMES. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS SOME TIME OF WARNING BELL, CHIME, ETC. TO REMIND THE DRIVER THAT THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING IF THEY OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND/OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. THANK-YOU. *TR

THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT PASSENGER AIRBAG DETECTION ISSUE WITH 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 SV. THERE WERE IN MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN A FULL GROWN PERSON(WEIGHT > 150LBS) SITTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHILE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN, 'PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF' INDICATOR WOULD TURN ON, INDICATING THAT CAR IS NOT DETECTING ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND IN RESULT AIRBAGS WERE TURNED OFF. THIS WARNING INDICATION STAYED ON THROUGHOUT OUR DRIVE AND SOMETIMES TURNED OFF AFTER 10-15 MINUTES OF DRIVE AND IN OTHER OCCASIONS IT DIDN'T TURN OFF AT ALL UNTIL CAR WAS TURNED OFF. IF THIS WAS JUST A FEATURE ISSUE THEN MUCH LOWER PRIORITY SHOULD BEEN ASSIGNED BUT IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE/CONCERN AND I REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION. A BLATANT DISREGARD FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS ISSUE MAY RESULT IN DEATH, INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. I REQUEST THE HELP OF NHTSA FOR QUICK AND THOROUGH INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER. THANK YOU! *TR
