POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BANISTER NISSAN OF NORFOLK (1250 N MILITARY HWY, NORFOLK, VA 23502) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THE CVT NEEDED REPROGRAMMING. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED IN DECEMBER OF 2018; HOWEVER, THERE WAS AN OPEN SERVICE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: PC490 (CVT REPROGRAM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD NOT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE OPEN SERVICE CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY LOOSE AND THE CAR IS HARD TO KEEP STRAIGHT. IT IS ALL OVER THE ROAD. IF YOU GET IN A GROOVE IN THE ROAD IT WILL ABOUT TAKE THE CAR AND CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL. I THOUGHT I HAD A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND IT IS THE STEERING. WHEN OTHERS RIDE WITH ME THEY ASK IF I'M OK BECAUSE OF THE CAR GOING SIDE TO SIDE. I AVOID THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE WITH SPEED INCREASE IT'S EVEN HARDER TO KEEP IN MY LANE. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM RIGHT AFTER GETTING THE CAR. TRIED TO IGNORE THINKING IT WAS ME, THAT I WAS NOT USE TO THE WAY A NISSAN HANDLED AS I HAVE NEVER OWNED ONE BEFORE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ AT LEAST 16 COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNER'S WHILE ON THE INTERNET TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE.

AIR BAGS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
1) FRONTAL PASSENGER AIR BAG. IT ALWAYS SAYS OFF, EVEN WHEN THERE'S A PASSENGER. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS IS A TAKATA INFLATOR. (THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, WETHER IDLEING, DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND REVERSE) 2) HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHTS (BOTH) CONTINUALLY GET DIMMER AND DIMMER UNTIL YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. (THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME ALL THE TIME WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, WETHER IDLEING, DRIVE, NEUTRAL AND REVERSE)I HAVE HAD OR CHANGED MY LIGHT BULB(S) AT LEAST (6) TIMES IN THE 16 MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY LAW INFORCEMENT SEVERAL TIMES AND A LIVERY DRIVER I HAVE HAD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE VEHICLE HAS DIM LIGHTING AND IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT AND I USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE DARK ROADWAYS AND SIGNS, WHICH CAUSES BLINDNESS TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND I BELIEVABLE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OVER THIS. REPLACING BULBS DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE NOR DOES WARRANTY COVER THE COST.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT ENOUGH LIGHT TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME FORCING THE CONSTANT USE OF HIGH BEAMS IN ORDER TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. DRIVING WITH LOW BEAMS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE LOW BEAMS ONLY ILLUMINATE ABOUT A CAR LENGTH AND DRIVING CONSTANTLY WITH HIGH BEAMS ALSO CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. I REPLACED THE BULBS 3 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS CHOOSING BRIGHTER BULBS EACH TIME, AS WELL AS BUYING FACTORY BULBS FROM THE NISSAN DEALER, BUT NOTHING CHANGED.

THE HEADLIGHTS ESPECIALLY THE DRIVER SIDE I CAN BARELY SEE FROM. I THOUGHT HEADLIGHT WAS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT AND GOT IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID IT APPEARS TO BE A FLAW WITH THE REFLECTORS. I CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING HARDLY FROM THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON. ALSO AFTER SEARCHING THIS TYPE OF ISSUE I FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM ISSUING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA DUE TO THE EXTREME DULLNESS OF HEADLIGHT POWER. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE, AND THE FACT THAT IS INDEED A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHERE I HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS BECAUSE I NEARLY HIT A LARGE ANIMAL OR OTHER OBJECT IN THE ROAD. MY HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT FAR OR WIDE. ID ESTIMATE THEY PROJECT 4 FEET IN FRONT OF ME, I HAVE TRIED ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS UP AND CHANGING TO VERY EXPENSIVE AND HIGH QUALITY LED BULBS, WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.
