LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VISIBILITY/WIPER
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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.

SUSPENSION
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
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.
