2013 NISSAN ALTIMA Engine Problems

Front end suspension need replacing confirmed by Nissan Dealership when rear suspension recall was done. Loud noise when in reverse or backing out with or without acceleration, transmission mount defect.

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

Passenger airbag safety light does not light up as it should, shows passenger isn't wearing seat belt when they are. Airbag might not deploy under these conditions. There was a recall for this, took to dealership, was not corrected. Transmission stalls and studders, will not accelerate due to faulty CVT. Causes near miss accidents. Shift lock occasionally prevents car from changing from park, reverse, drive.

Delayed acceleration after making a stop, high RPMs when accelerating after making a stop. All above conditions appears to happen randomly.

I feel like my 2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL sedan is/was Part of the Transmission Recall. I purchased my vehicle in 2017/2018… Since then I already replaced all the solenoids in 2020 for the transmission and it drove fine for 2 years. Then in October/November of 2023 the transmission code P0776 came on and it was taken to a Nissan dealership in Maine and was informed that the whole transmission was no good and needed to be replaced. I since bought a new Nissan Altima transmission that was never used before so, the transmission has 0 miles on it and had my personal mechanic place it in and now in early 2024 the transmission went from Driving 65mph on the highway and suddenly dropped to 30mph still on highway with no dashboard light notice at all… so now I have a vehicle that is broken and I don’t know what to do next!!! Please advise. I was wondering if my Vin# was one that had the original Recall and was taken care of anlready before I bought it? And if I can get any help with this new transmission that is now no good?

Steady Check Engine light came on April 25, 2023. Just had oil change/filter done day before. Had tune-up done May 25, 2023. Had mechanic who replaced my catalytic converter and (2) O2 sensors a year ago check my car. Found that the inside of the catalytic converter was melted. They checked for a fuel leak in engine, none found. Replaced catalytic converter and front O2 sensor. As of today, no Steady Check Engine light has come back on. I think a Flashing Check Engine light should have displayed for something as serious as a fuel leak. What if my car caught fire while driving? Also, I was told several years ago by a local Nissan dealer that my driver side airbag would need replacing - that indicator light never came back on the dash board either. Faulty sensors? I notified Nissan in TN by mail.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, he noticed a burning smell coming through the A/C vents. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that unknown frontal air bag had deployed under the hood and burned; however, the mechanic could not repair the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to another mechanic who informed the contact that they could not repair the vehicle. An unknown dealer was contacted but provided no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was serviced by the dealer in 2016, for a recall repair for the mass airflow sensor however, the failure recurred. The contact had her nephew replace the mass airflow sensor on three separate occasions. The mass airflow sensor was also replaced once by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that recall repair was only performed one time free of charge. The failure mileage was 108,000.

The original transmission on this car failed and I had it replaced at a Nissan Dealership. In less than two years, the new transmission also failed. I was driving on the highway and transmission gave up and the vehicle would not accelerate putting my Life and others' life in danger/unsafe. I contacted Nissan consumer/customer service and the case manager was not helpful and literally, stonewalled my concerns. Gross negligence by Nissan about the vehicle owners and their safety. The Nissan Altima cars that were manufactured between 2013-2015 are pure LEMONS.

Car stalled on highway in 1st lane. Car jerking, stalling, not starting. Found recall on cvt transmissions on car. Nissan consumer affairs refuse to honor recall. States recall closed. Car not drivable. Being fixed at Firestone repair. Begged Nissan consumer affairs because of my safety to please fix. Spoke with 2 managers who would not honor closed past campaign!!! Told them I am a 60 yr old woman now to scarred to drive car. Had no choice but to have it fixed which I cannot afford.

WHEN PUSHING THE GAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR THE STREETS IT FEELS LIKE THE POWER OF THE CAR IS HOLDING BACK. FEELS LIKE THE GEARS ARE MESSING UP. AND THERE'S PROBLEM WITH CATALYST CONVERTER. IT'S ALWAYS SHOWING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVEN AFTER I HAVE TRIED OTHER SOLUTIONS ON FIXING THAT AND THE GAS ODOMETER IS NOT READING THE GAS LEVELS RIGHT EITHER. PLUS THE PASSENGER SEAT BUCKLE IS STUCK AND DOESN'T LATCH TO THE SEAT BELT FOR A HOLD FROM A CAR ACCIDENT. LIKE YOU HAVE TO REALLY PUSH HARD FOR THE SEAT BELT TO HOLD ON.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH SENSOR CIRCUIT (NOTED IN NISSAN BULLETIN 16-030). MANUFACTURER SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMS LISTED ON DEALER INVOICE STATES SERVICES REGARDING THIS DEFECT WILL BE AT NO CHARGE TO OWNER. HOWEVER, DEALER REFUSES TO HONOR POLICY AND CHARGED FOR SERVICE.

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.

YESTERDAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TODAY MY DEALER SAYS THERE IS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. SOMETHING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. RECENTLY LESS THAN YEAR AGO, THEY REPLACED FEW THINGS WHICH WAS UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. NOW I HAVE 63K AND OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TOTAL COST IS ABOUT $1300.00. HOW CAN SUCH A REPUTED BRAND CAR HAVE SO MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITHIN A YEAR? THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN.

IN 2017 NISSAN HAS ME COME IN FOR A CVT TRANSMISSION UPGRADE. AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE AT THE NISSAN OF COOL SPRINGS AND I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH, SHAKING, AND JOLTING WHEN I ACCELERATED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALERSHIP AND ASKED TO HAVE A TECH DRIVE THE CAR TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM. THE TECH GOT IN, RODE OFF, CAME BACK AND SAID IT WAS ALL RUNNING FINE. I ACCEPTED THAT AND ASSUMED IT WAS ONLY A MOMENTARY PROBLEM. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR AND IT WAS STILL DOING IT. I CAME BACK AND ASKED THE TECH TO RIDE WITH ME. IT DID IT WITH HIM IN THE CAR AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAD TO "ADAPT TO MY DRIVING STYLE." 2018, AT 48,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED TO STALL ON ME WHEN IT WAS IDLE. IT WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP, BUT TURN OFF WHEN I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE NISSAN OF COOL SPRINGS DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DID NOT FIND ANY ERROR CODE AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE AND CHARGED ME AROUND $160. I ALSO TOLD THEM THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH IN THE PAST 2-3 TIME. BUT AT THAT TIME I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE CVT ISSUES. RECENTLY IT HAPPENED WHEN I STOPPED FOR REFUELLING MY CAR. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAYS.

I AM EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT CVT FAILURES AT MILEAGE: 45000. ONCE I WAS STATIONARY AND IN THE OTHER INSTANCE I WAS ON THE CITY STREET, WHEN I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN POWER LOSS, ALL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WHENEVER I STARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE IT JUST TURNED OFF. AFTER 4 TO 5 TRIES CAR STARTED. I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND IT HAD SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THE CVT FAILURE. I WENT TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTRE TWICE FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING AND SAID EVERYTHING IS IN PERFECT CONDITION.

MY VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. WOULD NOT START AND I COASTED TO THE SIDE AND HAD TO GET A TOW. CHECK ENGINE LITE WAS ON. NO CODES FOUND. CAR SAT FOR A WEEK AND THEN STARTED RIGHT UP AND DROVE FINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. CAR STARTED STALLING AGAIN ONLY WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, AND AS LONG AS I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND GAVE IT GAS, THEN THREW IT INTO DRIVE I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. STILL NO LIGHT ON. CAR DROVE SEMI GOOD FOR A WEEK OR SO, SEEMED TO RUN A LITTLE ROUGH BUT DIDN'T STALL OUT. A FEW DAYS AGO IT STARTED TO NOT TAKE GAS AND REV UP ON ITS OWN. I WOULD START TO GO AND THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE BY ITSELF. WHEN I WAS ON HIGHWAY, OR REGULAR ROADS. USUALLY UNDER 50 MILES AN HOUR. TACHOMETER WOULD REV EVEN THOUGH CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO GO ANY FASTER. THEN IT JUST STOPPED TAKING GAS ALL TOGETHER. NOW TODAY IT JUST STOPPED GOING. I WOULD GIVE IT GAS AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. I SHUT OFF AND TURNED ON AND IT WOULD GO FOR A LITTLE AND THEN STOP. NOW CHECK ENGINE LITE CAME ON AND THE FIRST CODE P0776 IS FOR A BULLETIN THAT WENT OUT AND THE THE OTHER CODE IS FOR P0965. PICTURES ARE ATTACHED. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR, WORRIED THAT I WILL GET INTO A CRASH. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND SAW THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE MILEAGE IS AT 77,000. THE MAJORITY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE I READ HAD AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE. IS THIS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF?

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CAR SHUTTERED AND CUT OFF AFTER HAVING STOPPED FOR A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I PRESS THE EXHILARATOR TO CONTINUE ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE BREAK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERY TIME I WOULD DRIVE TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR IT WOULD CUT OFF. IT KEPT DOING THIS OVER AND OVER. LOCAL POLICE CAME AND WITH THE HELP OF A GOOD SAMARITAN PUSHED MY CAR OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER TEST DID NOT SHOW ANY CODES FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY ENDED UP UPDATING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE AND SAID THEY HOPED THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND I HAVE HAD TO AVOID STOPPING AT LIGHTS DUE TO THE CAR WANTING TO CUT OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT OTHER NISSAN CAR OWNERS ARE ALSO FACING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET WHETHER IT BE INTERSTATE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR NORMAL CITY STREET TRAFFIC. ONCE THE CAR STALLS IT'S NO WAY TO START IT AND PUT IT IN GEAR TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT STALLING AGAIN AND AGAIN. NISSAN OWNERS NEED A RECALL

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 113 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SENSE PUT 160K HIGHWAY MILES ON IT BUT HAVE HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW BECAUSE I GET IT SERVICED REGULARLY. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK LAST WEEK AND AT 30-45 MPH THE RPMS STARTED JUMPING BETWEEN 1K AND 2K. ONCE I GOT PAST 60 MPH THIS STOPPED BUT EVENTUALLY MY CAR WOULD STUTTER AND STALL AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS MAKING IT DANGEROUS IF TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC OR COMING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. I TOOK IT IN IMMEDIATELY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS OUT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $4500 OUT OF POCKET. I GOT A SECOND OPINION AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP I SERVICE IT AT THAT IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED WHEN THEY TOLD ME TO, YET THERE IS NOTHING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL STATING THIS IS A REQUIREMENT, ONLY A RECOMMENDATION BY THE DEALER. AS SHADY AS DEALERSHIPS ARE THESE DAYS OF COURSE I DIDN'T HAVE IT DONE BECAUSE I ASSUMED THEY WERE CHARGING ME FOR SOMETHING UNNECESSARILY. I SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE AND HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUSH WOULD HAVE DONE NOTHING TO PREVENT MY TRANSMISSION FAIL. WHAT IS EVEN WORSE IS THAT NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY DASH LOOKED THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS DOES, THE ONLY LIGHTS THAT CAME ON WERE MY BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, BUT IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AFTER THAT. I HAVE ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN AND HAVE BEEN DENIED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SERVICED MY CAR WITH THE DEALER EVEN AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. THERE ARE 4 OTHER PEOPLE IN MY FAMILY THAT OWN NISSANS BUT APPARENTLY THAT MEANS NOTHING TO THIS COMPANY. NEEDLESS TO SAY IF I CAN GET THIS THING TRADED IN ON A HONDA I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A NISSAN AGAIN! ALSO, JUST DO A GOOGLE SEARCH OF PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS. THE RESULTS ARE STAGGERING.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH 45K MILES ON IT. THE CAR STARTS UP AND IDLES IN PARK JUST FINE. HOWEVER, WHEN I SHIFT IT INTO GEAR (DRIVE OR REVERSE), THE CAR SPUTTERS AND STALLS. IT DOESN'T SPUTTER AND STALL UNTIL I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I AM ABLE TO DRIVE IT JUST FINE IF I IMMEDIATELY PRESS ON THE GAS AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON ONLY WHEN THE CAR STALLS. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN THERE WAS NO CODE RECORDED - NOT SURE WHY. IT HAPPENED WITH ME 5 TIMES IN A ROW IN A DAY.

I OWN A NISSAN ALTIMA 2013, AND SADLY I'VE MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAN ANY OTHER I EVER OWNED. THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN IN NOTION AND STATIONERY. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE TRIES TO EVEN GET IT STARTED. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON THE BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAG SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE HOOD LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. AND THE BACK BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHANGED THREE TIMES AND IT S STILL HAS A AWFUL LENGTHY SQUEAK WHICH IS VERY EMBARRASSING. SO SAY THE LEAST THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING CONSIDERING I'M STILL PAYING OVER THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH FOR A CAR NOT AND STILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SUPPOSEDLY DOES NOT COVER. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS PURCHASE. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED OVER TIME AND I'M STILL HAVING ISSUES TO THIS DAY.

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. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THESE VEHICLES OR THE CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO CUSTOMERS WITHOUT A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! I HAVE A 10.5 MONTH OLD AND IT IS 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE!!! ANOTHER HUGE SAFETY ISSUE) AND NOW THERE IS ANOTHER NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AT ALL SPEEDS, A GRINDING NOISE. I AM A SINGLE MOM OF THREE KIDS WHO I SUPPORT ON MY OWN. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THESE THINGS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE "RELIABLE". AND IT IS NOT!

IT WOULD HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY, THE STREETS AND AT RANDOM TIMES BUT MOSTLY AS MY SPEED WOULD GRADUALLY CHANGE USUALLY WHEN STARTING TO GO SLOWER... I HAD A MECHANIC IN MY CAR NOTICE THIS AND ASK IF I HAD THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND THAT POSSIBLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AS HE HAD COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE BEFORE WITH ALTIMAS. I AM CURRENTLY BEING TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY ISSUE BUT I BELIEVE THIS TO BE FALSE AND WANT MY CAR FIXED AS IT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE.

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.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA (44K MILES) IN MAY 2015. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I REACHED THE 50K MILE MARK IN JANUARY 2016. THE FIRST ISSUE STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD PUSH REALLY HARD DRIVING UP A HILL. THE NEXT ISSUE HAPPENED ON 5/2/16 WHEN I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN 'DRIVE' AND IT WENT FORWARD FOR A FEW SECONDS AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. TO BE CLEAR, IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY. EVERYTHING WORKED IN THE CAR EXCEPT ITS ABILITY TO ACTUALLY DRIVE. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS FOR INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND A THING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE; NO ERROR CODES OR DRIVING ISSUES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS WITH THEM. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE BACK MY VEHICLE AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. HOWEVER, ON MAY 21, 2016, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AGAIN. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET FOR 20 MINS BEFORE THE VEHICLE DECIDED TO DRIVE AGAIN. I'M ALMOST SURE THAT IT IS THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS AS IF I'M NOT THE ONLY NISSAN OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE CVT TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO "GO OUT" AT THE 50K MILE MARK. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE CAN SHUT OFF WHILE IN USE AND THERE IS NO CODE OR TRAIL AS TO WHY. THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE IS THAT THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE IT IS BEING ACTIVELY DRIVEN. I USE THE FREEWAY TWICE A WEEK AND THERE WOULD LIFE-THREATENING EFFECTS IF THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THAT TYPE OF TRAFFIC (65-75 MPH). I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND A CERTIFIED MECHANIC COULD NOT TELL YOU WHY. AS I PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, I'M SURE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE'S DRIVING CAPABILITIES ARE AFFECTED. THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT OTHER PARTS ARE BEING AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE.

RECEIVED CAR BACK AND CAR DID THE SAME THING, TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT SAID THEY HAVE HEARD OF SAME COMPLAINTS BUT THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 5 DAYS AND CLAIM TO NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CAR WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP AND NISSAN SEEMS TO BE OF NO HELP. PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ALSO STAYS ON FROM TIME TO TIME. I HAVE READ AND PRINTED OUT SEVERAL IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO RESOLVE.

CAR KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ! ITS HAPPENED 6 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT CAR IN JANUARY 23,2014. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS VERY NEXT DAY OF PURCHASING THE CAR. ITS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES, INCLUDING TODAY/THIS AFTERNOON WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ON HWY 111 IN IMPERIAL COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. MY CAR LOST ALL POWER, ENGINE SHUT DOWN, LOST CONTROL OF GEARS (DRIVE GEARS LOCKED), ATTEMPTED TO START CAR COULD NOT START IGNITION. & I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. SAME HAPPENED ON EACH PRIOR OCCASIONS/TIMES. ENGINE SHUT DOWN, NO CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL, WOULD NOT START, GEARS/LEVER WOULD GET LOCKED IN PLACE.. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR !! THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP ! I HAVE A SMALL CHILD (7 YEARS OLD) I AM PUTTING MY CHILD'S AND MY LIFE IN DANGER BY DRIVING THIS CAR ANY FURTHER. DEALER INSIST THEY CANNOT FIND DEFECT/PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY PRIVATE MECHANIC DUE TO SHUDDER IN ENGINE WHILE DRIVING HE INFORMED ME THAT MY CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, I AM STILL UNDER NISSAN WARRANTY BUT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THEIR SERVICE CENTER THEY TOLD ME NO. THEY DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IN DETAIL MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS WHAT MY MECHANIC STATED THEY TOLD ME NO. I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN WITH NO ISSUE BUT AS SOON AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE MY CAR WOULD JUDDER & SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE SAME JUDDER HAVE BEEN FEELING FOR SOME TIME NOW. BUT NOW MY CAR IS TURNING OFF. BASED ON MY RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THEY CONTINUE TO DENY THE TRANSMISSION IS FLAWED UNTIL YOU FIND YOURSELF OUT OF WARRANTY THEN THEY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS NOW 100% OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET. THIS IS HEART BREAKING TO KNOW SUCH A LARGE COMPANY IS AWARE OF THIS BUT WILL NOT REPAIR OR RECALL THEIR CARS LEAVING US STRANDED WITH A $20,000 CAR THAT WILL NOT LIVE PASSED 60,000 MILES WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR I HAD JUST GOTTEN OFF HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR JUDDERED & SHUT OFF. I WAS VERY LUCKY I DID NOT STAY ON HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL AT A HIGHER SPEED AS WELL BEING STRUCK BY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I HOPE IT CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE THERE IS A LOSS OF LIFE. IF THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE ALREADY.

YOU CAN COAST AND PRESS THE GAS AGAIN AND THEN THE WHOLE CAR RATTLES. IT HAS BEEN IN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CAN FEEL IT BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHAT IS CAUSING IT.

CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AFTER DRIVING OVER 20 MILES. CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TWICE, HOWEVER, THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE. CAR SHAKES, SHUDDERS, CUTS OFF. CAR WILL RESTART BUT GAS HAS TO PRESSED EXCESSIVELY HARD FOR ENGINE TO TURN OVER, CAR CONTINUE TO JERK WHILE RESTARTING. LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 30 DAYS! I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN AMERICA WAS CONTACTED FOR DIRECTION, CAR MAY REQUIRE SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND/OR NEW TRANSMISSION. WHICH IS SPECULATION! THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THEY ARE NOT 100% THAT THIS SOLUTION WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2013 AND PRIOR YEAR MODELS. I WILL ALSO FILE ANOTHER FORMAL COMPLIANT WITH NISSAN AMERICA. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS IT RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING OTHER THAN THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND SHUDDER IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE CAR SHUTS OFF! THUS FAR THE CAR CUTS OFF WHEN STATIONARY, IF THE GAS IS PRESSED BEFORE THE CAR CUTS OFF COMPLETELY THE CAR WILL SELF CORRECT AND NOT SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 6 MONTHS ON A CITY STREET, THIS CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 60K MILES.

I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, HOWEVER, NO RECALLS.. I AM SURE NISSAN KNEW OF THE DEFECT PRIOR TO RELEASING THE VEHICLES AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONT TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

WHEN I ASKED FOR THE NAME I WAS GIVING THAT CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS TALKING TO SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CLUE TO WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, WHEN I CALLED THE LADY I BEEN TALKING TO AT CONSUMER AFFAIRS I DIDN'T GET A ANSWER NOR A CALL BACK. BUT IM SURE THEY WILL NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR DUE TO NO ONE WILL DRIVE IT TO SEE WHAT IT DO.

JANUARY THE 8TH I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK TO HOME MY JOB IS ABOUT 30 MILES FROM MY HOME. I WAS DRIVING NO FASTER THAN 50-45 MILES AN HOUR DUE TO CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREAS ON MY WAY HOME. THERE ARE CAMERAS AT THE LIGHTS IN A CITY 7 MILES BEFORE MY CITY. IF YOU GO OVER THE LINE A BIT THEY TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR LICENSE PLATE AND SEND YOU A PICTURE AND TICKET IN THE MAIL WITH AN IMAGE OF YOU GOING OVER THE LINE INDICATING YOU'VE RUN A RED LIGHT. SO I PRESSED ON THE BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN AS THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW TO ASSURE I DID NOT GO OVER THE LINE. AS I SLOWED DOWN MY CAR JERKED I HAD A 2011 ALTIMA THAT DID THE SAME THING SO I WAS THINKING ITS NOTHING ITS HOW THE TRANSMISSION RUNS. BUT WITHIN A 12-15 FEET DISTANCE I STOPPED AS I COMPLETELY CAME TO A STOP MY CAR JERKED FORWARD, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, HAZARD LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOWED UP, AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I COULD NOT GET MY CAR TO DRIVE FORWARD IT WAS EMBARRASSING AS CARS HONKED FOR ME TO DRIVE. I RETURNED MY CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY UPDATED SOME RECALLS. THEN STATED THEIR SYSTEM IS NOT SHOWING IN ISSUES. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND ONCE I WAS ON A HILL THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I HOPE THE RECALLS THEY HAVE FIXED RESOLVES THE ISSUE I AM SCARED THAT THE CAR WILL DIE AND CUT OFF WHILE I AM ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I HOPE AND PRAY MY ISSUES ARE RESOLVED AND, I DO NOT GET CRUSHED IN A COLLISION. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA S FROM CARMAX ON 10/5/14. THE CAR WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A BIRTHDAY PRESENT TO MYSELF SEEING AS THOUGH I HAD NOT PURCHASED A CAR IN 12 YEARS. I WAS VERY EXCITED, BUT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE ALTIMA, I STARTED TO HEAR SQUEALING COMING FROM THE BRAKES, AND ALSO ROARING AND RUMBLING WHICH STARTED IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AND PROCEEDED TO THE CENTER. I ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT THE CAR LOCKING UP AND DRIVING SLUGGISH, AND THEN RELEASING ONCE THE RUMBLING BRIEFLY STOPPED. I AM ALSO HEARING AN ANNOYING WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO CARMAX, THEY TOLD ME THE ROARING WAS COMING FROM MY WINDSHIELD WASHER COMPARTMENT THAT WAS LOOSE, AND THAT MY BRAKES WERE FIXED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I LEFT AND DROVE AROUND THE CORNER, AND THE SQUEALING BRAKES AND ROARING CAME BACK. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA, AND AFTER TELLING THEM ABOUT THE ROARING AND THE WHINING, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE'S QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE SOUND, AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT THE WHINING SOUND IS COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING AND THE ROARING IS COMING FROM THE WAY I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. HOW DARE HE! I ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A MONTH BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HE WOULD NOT EVEN TRY TO LOOK INTO THE LIST OF ISSUES I REQUESTED TO BE FIXED. THE NISSAN MANAGER TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO CARMAX OR I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BRAKES TO BE FIXED, AND EVEN CHARGED ME TO ROTATE MY TIRES. I LEFT PAYING HIM FOR A SERVICE THAT I DID NOT ORIGINALLY COME IN FOR. I WENT BACK TO CARMAX AND THEY FINALLY FIXED MY BRAKES, BUT STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THAT WOULD CAUSE THE EXTREMELY ANNOYING ROARING AND WHINING NOISES. THIS HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE, AND I AM THINKING ABOUT TAKING LEGAL ACTION. *TR

THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND THEN A LADY MISS HITTING ME IN THE REAR BY A INCH; DUE TO MY CAR JUST CUTTING OFF INDICATING MY KEY WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP WHEN I PRESS THE START KEY AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME TIME; IT WILL SAY THE KEY IS NOT BEING DETECTED.

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....

CAR SHAKES AT 1900 RPM (EVERYTIME YOU PASS BY 1900RPM) AND WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT (WHEN YOU HAVE BRAKES APPLIED). THIS VIBRATION CAN BE FEELED BY DRIVER & PASSENGER AND WHOLE CAR SHAKES. I HAD IT POINTED OUT DURING THE SERVICING/OIL CHANGES TO NISSAN TECHNICIAN AND ALL I GOT IS "IT IS NORMAL FOR CVT SO CAR WILL VIBRATE". THIS VIBRATION IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS ON AN AVG I DRIVER THE CAR FOR AN HOUR A DAY. AND IF I STOP AT LIGHTS FOR 10 MINUTES ON AN AVG, THEN I AM EXPOSING MY SELF TO THIS VIBRATION FOR THAT MUCH TIME A DAY WHICH IS BAD. ITS SPECIALLY BAD FOR MY LEGS. NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A FIX AT THE MOMENT FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I EPXECT A BRAND NEW CAR NOT TO VIBRATE AS HORRIBLE AS THIS. MY 10 YEAR OLD CAR WAS MUCH SMOOTHER THEN THIS. THE OVERALL EXPERIANCE IS HORRIBLE AND WILL ADVISE ALL TO STAY AWAY FROM NISSAN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ADMITTING THE PROBLEM AND THEY DONT HAVE THE SOLUTION FOR SUCH A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE EFFECTS ON LONG TERM EXPOSURE AND I FEEL GOVERMENT SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR IN THE CITY, SOMETIMES IT WILL GOES "NUMB", IN OTHER WORDS DOESN'T RESPONSE TO MY COMMANDS WHEN SPEED IS 30MPH+RPM IS 2K OR SPEED IS 20MPH+RPM IS 1.5K.(ONLY AT THESE TWO UNIQUE COMBINATION, E.G. IS THE SPEED IS 30MPH+RPH IS 1.5K, THE ISSUE WILL NOT OCCUR). EITHER APPLYING GAS OR BRAKE DOESN'T WORK AS I WHEN MY CAR IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE DURATION OF THIS "NUMB" ISSUE IS USUALLY ABT 10-15 MIN, AND OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN I USE MY CAR FROM COLD START.(BUT THAT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER A WARM-UP OF 5MIN AND BEING ON THE ROAD FOR ABT 10-15MIN). WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS, I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS CONTROLLING MY CAR INSTEAD OF ME AND MY CAR DOESNT LISTEN TO ME, E.G. MY CAR WAS GOING DOWNHILL SMOOTHLY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOES NUMB, I WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE SPEED LOWER THAN 30 MPH BUT WASN'T ABLE TO, LUCKILY IT FINALLY SLOW DOWN WHEN I APPLIED A HARD BRAKE THAT MAKE THE VEHICLE ALMOST STOPPED. THE OPERATION AND SAFETY ISSUE ANNOYS ME. SOMETIMES IT GAVE ME SUDDEN PAUSE ON THE ROAD(20-30 MPH SPEED). I HAVE TOOK MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES SINCE JUNE 2013, MY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM GOT REPROGRAMMED 2 TIMES. 12/30/2013, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, AFTER THAT MY CAR STARTED OPERATING WEIRD (FEELS LIKE LACK OF POWER). TOOK MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND GOT TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED, PLUS SOME PARTS CHANGED (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY EXACTLY CHANGED). ALMOST EVERYDAY, I EXPERIENCE MY CAR GOES "NUMB" OUT OF NOWHERE, AND HAD TO LIVE WITH IT BEING UNABLE TO CONTROL MY CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS BECAUSE NISSAN BLAMES THE "COLD" WEATHER IN CALIFORNIA AND MY SENSITIVITY IN DRIVING. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 1ST 2013 NISSAN ON AUGUST 18, 2023 AND IT HAD APPROX. 3,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. AFTER A FEW DAYS, I NOTICED A SPUTTERING IN THE CAR WHEN DE-ACCELERATING AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING. AFTER 10 DAYS IT HAD GOT SO BAD, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. LUCKILY, IT HAPPENED VERY BADLY WHEN THEY DROVE THE CAR. I SPOKE WITH THE STORE MANAGER AND HE AGREED TO GIVE ME A NEW CAR WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT. LOW AND BEHOLD. THE NEW CAR STARTED SPUTTERING VERY LITTLE (HARDLY NOTICEABLE) AFTER ABOUT 2,000 MILES. TRYING TO GIVE THE CAR THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT, I DIDN'T TAKE IT BACK. FAST FORWARD,,,,,,,THE CAR NOW HAS 14,000 MILES AND IS SPUTTERING MORE AND MORE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE CAR SOMETIMES SMELLS AS IF IT IS RUNNING A LITTLE HOT WHEN I GET OUT OF THE CAR. I AM TAKING THE CAR IN THIS WEEKEND AND HOPEFULLY THE SPUTTERING WILL BE RECREATED. IF NOT, I WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK WHEN IT SPUTTERS AND MAKE CERTAIN TO GET DOCUMENTATION EACH TIME I TAKE IT IN. THIS IS TERRIBLE AND I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK WITH A CAR WITH ISSUES SUCH AS THIS.

NOTICED CAR SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHILE COASTING AT ABOUT 17 MPH AND THEN ACCELERATING. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT IT IS A DEFECT WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER THAT CAUSES IT TO SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS AT ABOUT 28 MPH. I TOLD THEM THAT MINE WAS HAPPENING AT ABOUT 17 OR 18 MPH. WAS TOLD THEY WERE LOOKING INTO IT. CALLED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER, WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND NISSAN WAS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

ALTIMA 2.5L ENG. PROBLEM: ENGINE VIBRATIONS/CVT SHUTTERING SINCE APPROX. 3600 MILES, BUT HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE WITH MORE MILES (7000 MI 12/31/13). VIBRATIONS FELT AT 1500-2000 RPMS (ENOUGH TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE THE DASH COMPONENTS), THEN VIBRATION GOES AWAY. SLIGHT ACCELERATION UNDER LOAD AT 1500-2000 RPMS AND AT ANY SPEED (20-30, 40-55, 72 MPH) WILL RESULT IN DRONING/VIBRATIONS (EVERYTIME). HAD NISSAN SERVICE MGR. RIDE WITH ME, THEN HE DROVE THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THE VIBRATIONS. HE SAID TO RETURN THE VEHICLE IN JAN 2014 TO FURTHER DOCUMENT THIS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN DOES NOT ADMIT EXISTS. HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NISSAN MANY TIMES OVER THIS PAST YEAR (2013). I NOW BELIEVE THIS VIBRATION IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND NOT FROM THE CVT SINCE I CAN FEEL VIBRATIONS 1500-2000 RPM EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED (IN PARK OR IN NEUTRAL). UPDATE: 1/08/14 NISSAN DEALER REPLACED ENGINE ALTERNATOR, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, NO CHANGE IN VIBRATIONS. 1/10/14 NISSAN REPLACED TENSIONER AND ENGINE SERPENTINE BELT, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, NO CHANGE IN VIBRATIONS. 1/13/14 FILED COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5SL ONE WEEK EARLIER. AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THAT WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND GET TO 20-40 MPH THE CAR WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY AS IF MY CAR WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE ON THE TRANSMISSION AND KEPT MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS. THEY PUT 75 MILES ON MY CAR TO "ENSURE" THEY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I PICKED UP MY CAR ON THE 4TH DAY AND DROVE 2 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND ENCOUNTERED THE SAME JERKING AND SHUDDERING PROBLEM. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS GREETED BY A SERVICE MANAGER THAT INSISTED WE GO FOR A DRIVE TO SEE IF HE COULD EXPERIENCE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. AFTER TAKING THE RIDE HE EXPLAINED THAT HE DID FEEL THE JERKING AND SHUDDERING BUT IT IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NISSAN USA AND MAKE A COMPLAINT BUT THE DEALERSHIP REALLY DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE UNLESS THEY ARE CONTACTED BY CORPORATE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR!!! I AM AFRAID THIS CAR IS GOING TO STALL ON ME AT THE WORSE POSSIBLE TIME. *TR

SPORADICALLY WHEN STARTING CAR (FROM A COLD START OR AFTER 2 HOURS) THE RPMS WILL DO THE NORMAL GOING UP THEN SLOWLY DOWN AND THEN LOWER ONCE IN GEAR; HOWEVER, ONCE STARTED TO DRIVE AND STOP THE CAR WILL SHAKE AND APPEAR TO BE TRYING TO CHOKE....TOOK TO SERVICE DEPT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS IN THE LOG.....TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHILE PROBLEM OCCURRING THE MECHANIC FELT THE SHAKING AND THE BIG BUMP AND SAID THE IDLE RPMS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED TO HIGHER LEVEL WITHIN 36 HOURS THE CAR WOULD DO THE SAME SPORADIC PROBLEM JUST AT A HIGHER RPM......TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN LEFT OVERNIGHT THEY DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM STATED EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND THE SALESPERSON DEMO SUPPOSEDLY DOES THE SAME THING (WHICH IT STARTED NORMAL). *TR

I HAD PURCHASED A NEW 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA FROM BOMMARITO NISSAN ON 11/6/2012 MY CAR ONLY HAD 252 MILES ON IT. WHEN I HAD TAKEN THE ACRE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A OIL CHANGE THAT'S WHEN I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO ORDER PARTS FOR MY CAR FOR THE FUEL RATIO SENSOR AND ECU WITH NEW UPDATES SINCE THIS WAS MADE THE CAR HAS BEING RUNNING HORRIBLE AND WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT THE CAR HAS ALL THE UPDATES AND THIS IS HOW IT SUPPOSED TO RUN SO THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN. I DID RESEARCH AND SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO PAY FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THIS CAR IS CARP AND IF I WANTED A USED CAR I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT ONE WITHOUT ANY POWER BECAUSE THE CAR SEEM TO LOOSE POWER YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF AIR TO GET SPEED AND PUNCH YOUR FOOT INTO THE FLOOR TO GET POWER AND ITS IDLED TO HIGH AS IF IT IS NOT GETIN ANY GAS I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE TO LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THERE IS A PROBLEM ON HAND AND OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS NOT WANTING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. *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? IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE SAFETY CONCERN, THE LIST OF ELECTRONIC, ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ISSUES CONTINUES FOR THE NEWLY BOUGHT VEHICLE. 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE ALSO VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 17,000.

TRANSMISSION IS LOCKING UP AT ANY SPEED WHILE COASTING OR DECELERATING,FEELS LIKE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO COME RIGHT OUT OF IT. ON WAY BACK TO DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED AT 55MPH GOING AROUND A BEND,AND FRONT TIRES LOCKED UP AND CHIRPED,THIS WAS THE WORSE ONE, IF THIS HAPPENED ON SNOW COVERED ROADS,THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT I WOULD HAVE WENT RIGHT INTO THE DITCH..WE'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3WEEKS AND PUT LESS THAN 1500 MILES ON IT.THE CAR STARTED DOING THIS 3 DAYS AGO,TODAY TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP,TOOK SERVICEMAN ON TEST DRIVE AND WITHIN A 1/4 MILE, HE HAD SEEN ENOUGH,WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS,THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN A TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!!! *TR

WELL THE MAIN SELLING POINT ON THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY WERE TOP IN MPG'S WITH 27 CITY AND 38 HIGHWAY. AFTER A WEEK OR SO I NOTICED THAT MY MPG AVERAGE IS NO MORE THAN 23.1. AND THAT WAS WITH MORE THAN 50% TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS WITH NO TRAFFIC(NEVER WENT UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT). I FIGURED IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT BEING NEW AND IT WOULD AVERAGE OUT BETTER LATER. SO AFTER 5,000 MILES ON THE CAR I TOOK IT IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS JUST BECAUSE EVERY DRIVER AVERAGES DIFFERENT AND I KEPT SAYING BUT I AM NOT EVEN GETTING CLOSE TO THE 27 CITY AND I DRIVE MORE HIGHWAY. BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND THEY RESET THE AVERAGE CALCULATOR. AFTER A WEEK IT WAS WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE AND I WAS BRINGING IT BACK FOR MY MANY OTHER PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH THIS CAR. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND FINALLY TOLD ME THAT WHILE THEY HAD IT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SAYING THAT MY AIR FUEL RATIO SENSOR WAS FAULTY. THEY REPLACED IT AND TOLD ME THAT WAS THE FIX. I HAVE PUT ABOUT A TANKS WORTH OF MILEAGE ON IT SINCE AND I AM GETTING UNDER 23 MPG STILL. EITHER SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH MY CAR OR NISSAN IS LYING ABOUT THE MPG'S AND YES I GET THAT THEY ARE PRESENTED BY THE EPA BUT NISSAN DOES THE TEST FIRST THEN SENDS IT TO THE EPA AND THEN THE EPA TESTS LATER ON. EITHER WAY THE MPG'S ARE WRONG AND I DRIVE TO TRY TO GET THE BEST MPG'S I DON'T EVEN GO OVER 2,000 RPM'S UNLESS GOING UP HILL. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE VIBRATION FROM THE TRANS. BUT THAT'S IN ANOTHER COMPLAINT. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I CHOSE THIS OVER THE HONDA ACCORD JUST FOR THE MPG'S. *TR

SO I HAVE BEEN HEARING A WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY CAR AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK IT IN AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS A NORMAL POWER STEERING NOISE. AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, I BROUGHT IT BACK A WEEK LATER AFTER I FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY THAT THEIR IS A NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THIS. AND THEY HAD IT FOR A FEW DAYS WITH MY OTHER CONCERNS AND RETURNED IT TO ME SAYING THAT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE REPAIR. WHY IS THIS? IT IS MAKING INTOLERABLE NOISES AND YET THEY DO NOT FIX IT? TO THIS DAY I AM STILL GETTING THESE NOISES AND HAVE READ THAT THE STEERING PUMP HAS FAILED ON OTHER 2013 NISSAN ALTIMAS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! *TR

WHEN SITTING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF SIGN COMES OUT AND RANDOMLY DISAPPEAR,APPEAR REPEATEDLY. SIT THE VERY PROPERLY BY OWNER' MANUAL IT COMES OUT. IT MEANS PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF SIGN ON IT WILL NOT INFLATE IN A CRASH. I'M VERY SCARY DRIVE THIS CAR WITH SOMEONE WHO SIT THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALTHOUGH SITTING ON THE SEAT PROPERLY AND USING THE SEAT BELT PROPERLY IT DOESN'T MATTERS BECAUSE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ALWAYS ILLUMINATE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN A CRASH. I REALLY WANT TO KNOW NEED AIR BAG FOR WHAT??? NISSAN ALREADY RECALLS SOME CAR SAME ISSUES. I BRING MY CAR NISSAN DEALER,THEY DO NOTHING AND SAY"THIS IS NORMAL" AND HAVE SAME PROBLEMS MY CAR'S VIN# NOT INCLUDE THE RECALLS SO THEY DON'T FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING. IT IS RIDICULOUS. ALSO ALTIMA HAS WEIRD WINNING HIGH PITCH NOISE ALL THE TIME AND DRIVE LOW RPM TO CHANGE TO HIGH RPM MAKES VERY LOUD RUMBLING KNOCKING NOISE.IT SEEMS LIKE A DRIVE BELT AND TENSIONER PROBLEMS. DEALER SAY THAT IT IS NORMAL. DEALER ALWAYS SAY "IT IS NORMAL". IF MY WARRANTY IS FINISH THEY SAY THAT IT IS PROBLEMS. I REALLY WANT TO SOLUTIONS. *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

WHEN I PRESS THE ENGINE BUTTON, THE CAR JUST KEEPS CRANKING AND SOMETIMES, BARELY OR STRUGGLING TO START. EVERY NOW AND THEN, I NOTICED THAT THERE'S ALSO A SINGLE CLICKING SOUND WHICH SEEMS TO COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND A DRUMMING/SLAPPING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE MAKES TO MANY DISTURBING NOISES THAT NISSAN FOR SOME REASON CAN'T SEEM TO IDENTIFY OTHER THAN THE SOUNDS BEING NORMAL. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5 S IN JULY OF 2012 WITH 349 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS AND HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR REPAIR AND HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEAN TIME THEY ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE. THE FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I GOT IN MY CAR AND APPLIED THE BRAKE AND PUSHED THE BUTTON TO START THE CAR AND THE CAR HESITATED, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE STARTER HAD HUNG UP. I WASN'T TOO WORRIED AT FIRST AND FIGURE IT WAS JUST A ONE TIME FLUKE, BUT IT WASN'T. NEARLY FIVE DAYS LATER IT OCCURRED AGAIN AND ATLEAST ONE OR TWICE A WEEK THERE AFTER. AFTER 4 WEEKS AND IT HAVING DONE IT ABOUT 4 TIMES BY THEN I MADE AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT SERVICE AND A FEW DAYS LATER I NOTICED 2 NEW NOISE PROBLEMS. I WAS DRIVING WITH WINDOW DOWN ONE DAY AND HEARD A LOUD CHIMING OR JINGLING NOISE COMING FROM WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE FRONT DRIVER TIRE.IT PRETTY MUCH SOUNDED TO BE A LOOSE NUT OR SCREW JINGLING AROUND SOMEWHERE. THEN A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT'S WHEN THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING. AND IT WAS TERRIBLE AND VERY LOUD, LIKE NAILS ON CHALKBOARD AND VERY EMBARRASSING. SO WHEN I BRING IT TO BE SERVICED THEY TELL ME THAT THE ISSUE I HAD WHEN STARTED COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND THAT THE BRAKES WHERE CLEANED AND THE ROTORS WHERE SHAVED DOWN AND ALSO THAT THEY PUT NO SQUEAL ON. AND FOR THE ISSUE WITH THE JINGLING NOISE WAS THAT A SCREW WAS LOOSE AND RATTLING AROUND ON THE ENGINE COVER. BUT WHEN I DROVE THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING AGAIN SO ONCE MORE 2 WEEKS LATER I RETURN IT AGAIN.AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE TO SHAVE THE REAR ROTORS THIS TIME. WHEN I LEAVE THIS TIME THE SQUEALING DOES NOT RETURN FOR 2 WEEKS. SO ONCE MORE I RETURN IT THIS TIME THEY TELL ME THAT DIRT IS CAKED UNDER MY BRAKE PADS AND ALL I CAN DO IS PRETTY MUCH PRESSURE WASH THEM EVERY DAY. THAT'S NOT QUALITY! *TR

DROVE 2 MILES TO A SERVICE STATION, AND UPON OPENING THE HOOD, ANTI-FREEZE WAS SPRAYED EVERYWHERE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER.

ON AUG. 10TH WE RECD AN EMAIL FROM THE EMPIRE NISSAN FLEET MNGR [XXX]. HE STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO HAVE THE CAR BACK AND WOULD PAY OUR FIRST MTH PYMT AND GIVE US A REPLACEMENT CAR OF LIKE KIND AND QUALITY. THEY WOULD NOT TELL US WHY THE VEH NEEDED TO BE RETURNED. WE NOTIFIED CORP NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT AND THEY CONTACTED EMPIRE NISSAN. THEY FINALLY ADVISE THAT THE REASON THEY NEED THE VEH BACK WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS AN OPEN CAMPAIGN ON IT WITH A SINGLE RECALL. WE AGREED TO RETURN IT FOR THE REPAIR. WE TOOK THE VEH BACK TO NISSAN AND LATER ON THAT DAY, WE WERE NOTIFIED THERE WERE 10 RECALLS FOUND ON THE VEH! AT THIS POINT WE REALIZED THAT WAS WHY THEY WANTED TO SWAP THE VEH. THEY AGREED TO GIVE US A RENTAL CAR DURING REPAIRS. WE PICKED UP THE VEH & AS SOON AS WE LEFT, THERE WAS A CONSTANT BUZZING NOISE COMING FROM THE CAR, THERE WAS A LOT OF ROAD NOISE AND WHISTLING FROM THE WINDOWS, THE ENGINE WAS LOUD. WE CALLED THE GM [XXX] & ASK THEM TO BUY THE VEH BACK & THEY TOLD US THAT WE WERE ASKING TOO MUCH AND THAT WE ARE ACTING LIKE WE ARE THE VICTIM. WE ALSO CALLED THE SVS MGR, [XXX] TO MAKE HAVE THE VEH SERVICED AGAIN. HE WAS RUDE AND SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO GET IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS WITH THE MANUFACTURE & TO NOT BRING THE VEH IN TO THEM FOR SVS & THEY WILL NOT BE PROVIDING A LOANER NOR A RENTAL FOR US. HE STATED HE WOULD HAVE AN ENGINEER COME OUT TO LOOK AT THE VEH TO DETERMINE THE COND. WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING. NISSAN HAS BEEN EVASIVE AND HAS NOT BEEN HONEST WITH US. KNOWING THAT VEH HAD SEVERAL MECHANICAL ISSUES, THEY ALLOWED US TO CONT TO DRIVE THIS VEH AND PUT US IN DANGER WITH NO REGARDS TO OUR SAFETY. JUST A DAY AGO WE SAW ON THE NEWS THERE ARE NOW TWO MORE RECALLS ON OUR VEH. NOW A TOTAL OF 12 RECALLS ON A BRAND NEW CAR!

I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 ALTIMA 2.5 SL ON 7/26/12, WITH 104 MILES ON IT SINCE IT WAS DELIVERED FROM ANOTHER DEALER. ON 7/29/12 A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAID THAT POSSIBLY THE GAS CAP WAS NOT TIGHT. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. MANUAL SAID THAT IF THE LIGHT WAS NOT FLASHING, THEN IT WOULD CLEAR AFTER A FEW TRIPS. IT DID NOT CLEAR, SO I DROVE 25 MILES TO DEALER 8/3/12 FOR THEM TO TEST. THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND WOULD BE REPLACED THE NEXT DAY. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED AND SAID THAT WHEN THEY REMOVED THE CONVERTER THAT ITS CONTENTS SPILLED ON THE SHOP FLOOR; AND THAT THEIR CONTACTS WITH NISSAN WAS THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED ON OTHERS AND THUS THE ENGINE HAD BEEN RUINED AND THAT NISSAN WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE. I STATED THAT I DID NOT WANT A REPLACED ENGINE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE REQUIRED DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY INVOLVED, ESPECIALLY WITH A CAR ONLY A FEW DAYS OLD AND HAVING DRIVEN ONLY APPROXIMATELY 160 MILES. I HAD PAID FOR A NEW CAR AND WANTED A COMPLETELY NEW CAR AS A REPLACEMENT. I HAVE FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN, BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT SAY THAT THEY ARE REVIEWING THE SITUATION. THE SELLING DEALER HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE, SAID THAT THEY AGREE WITH ME AND HAVE STATED THAT THEY HAVE ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN ON MY BEHALF AND REQUESTED THAT A NEW REPLACEMENT BE PROVIDED. SINCE NISSAN HAS SEEN THIS SITUATION ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, THEY WERE AWARE THAT THEY HAD FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND THAT CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WAS THE RESULT. THESE ARE NOT CARS WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES USE AND SEVERAL MONTHS OLD; BUT RATHER MINE WAS LESS THAN A WEEK OLD. NISSAN SHOULD NOT GIVE THE BUYING CUSTOMERS THE RUN-A-ROUND, BUT DO THE PROPER THING AND REPLACE THE CARS WITH NEW ONES LIKE WE PAID FOR. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY SOLD QUALITY PRODUCTS AND HAD A REPUTATION FOR GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR
