I was in turning lane and when traffic cleared enough to turn I pushed gas, and nothing happened it was just idle, no rpm, no movement let go of gas pushed again barely moved and then didn’t go anywhere. Oncoming traffic at that point was approaching then it engaged and was fine! It did it two more times as I was sitting at light and once while just driving

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Just purchased this car used from a dealer. Upon driving it at night I’ve found the low beam headlights are significantly dim. This is a serious safety concern.after doing research on this issue I’ve found that the reflector bulbs inside the headlight assy burn off the reflective coating thereby rendering the bulbs ability to broad at light very poor.

Hello, I have a 2015 Nissan Altima. I was driving my son to school on May 28, 2021 when my car began uncontrollably shaking. I had to pull over and stop. I took it to a garage in Pleasantville, PA as there is NOT a Nissan Certified dealership near me. The closest one is 1 hour away in Erie, PA which is where i purchased the vehicle. The garage told me the rear control arm broke. I did some research and the internet is full of information regarding recalls for this SAME EXACT issue in the 2013 and 2014 models. Especially in areas that are highly salted in the winter time, which northwestern PA is. A quick reviewof the 2013 to 2015 Nissan Altima model will show you there is not much difference in the models. The difference is mine is a bit newer and the rear control arm should have NEVER broke. I contacted Nissan via email and they stated that there is no recall and therefore nothing they can do. I persisted and they said they would have a specialist review the case. I spoke with the specialist on the phone and they stated that they MAY be able to reimburse me for the PART but not the labor since I didn't take it to a Nissan Garage. I explained to them that the closest garage is an hour a way and so then on top of that, they would have (or I would have) had to pay a tow bill of over $200 as well. There is NO reason this should have broke and is a HUGE safety concern. My son and I were in danger when this broke, which is why the 2013 models have had a recall on this part. The fact this is a 2015 is irrelevant because it's even newer than a 2013 and STILL BROKE, so there SHOULD be a recall. Luckily i was on a highway going pretty slow compared to an interstate. I most definietly would have crashed my car if i would have been on the interstate or going any faster than i was. Please consider declaring a recall. Thank you for your time.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving at night, the headlights were very dim, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. The contact continued driving to his residence. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who inspected it. The contact was informed that the reflective material inside the headlight housings had greatly deteriorated and no longer provided adequate luminescence while driving in low light conditions. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 95,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The dim headlights are a safety issue. I can't see how to drive at night or in the evening. I have to turn bright lights on, and it is putting other drivers at risk. Nissan is aware of this issue and wants to say that if you are out of your basic warranty you may not be able to get the light repair under goodwill. This is not the fault of their customers and they should be responsible for their additional money-making tactics. I have owned many vehicles and have never had this issue. I am not the only person who is experiencing this problem. I do not have the $1250 they are requesting to get my headlights repaired so they stuck two dim headlight bulbs in, and I still can't see. This is a dangerous issue for me and other drives. I want them to repair this issue. I just paid off my car this month $30,000 with no late payments. They should be happy to repair this safety issue. I checked for a recall and I see that there is a current investigation regarding dimming headlights for 2013-2019 Nissan Altima's. The vehicle was inspected, and they want me to pay. The vehicle was inspected, and they want me to pay. It is not fair that I have paid all that money and can't drive my car at night.

The headlight assemblies "chrome" reflective material for the low beam bulbs has faded and blackened. This has resulted in very low light being emitted from the low beam light setting. This is a very dangerous problem that Nissan needs to address.

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

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

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