ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHERE THE MILEAGE SCREEN IS IT KEEPS BLINKING ON AND OFF AND STAYS BLACK OUT MAJORITY OF THE TIME I CAN'T SEE MILES AND I CAN'T SEE WHAT THE GEAR IT IS IN ON THE DASH BOARD . WHEN THE WEATHER OUTSIDE REACH OVER 95-100 THE DASH BOARD STARTS TOO LIGHT UP AND BLINK LIGHTLY TOO SEE THE MILES MY CAR HAS IT IS A WIRE ISSUE AND SHORTAGE SOMEWHERE ON ELECTRICAL PART . SECOND ISSUE IS THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY ON THE HOOD LATCH AND NISSAN DEALER TELLING ME THEY CAN NOT FIX IT UNTIL THEY HAVE A SOLUTION MY HOOD WILL NOT LATCH SO I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A HOOD THAT CAN FLY OPEN AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT ANY MINUTE AND BEING THERE A RECALL NISSAN IS GONNA BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DAMAGES

STRUCTURE:BODY
HOOD LACH BROKEN AND DISENGAGES AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT BEING OPENED BY CAR OPERATOR. CAN OPEN WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR OPERATING. THE MANUFACTURER SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE TO SAY THE REMEDY WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MID 2021. I THINK THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN THE HOOD MAY FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE FRONT WINDOW. I AM WRITING BECAUSE THIS SITUATION PRESENTS A PTENTIAL EMERGENCY.

SUSPENSION
BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR CONTROL ARMS CRACKED DUE TO RUSTING. MY CAR OPERATES IN OHIO, A STATE THAT USES SALT TO CLEAR THE ROADS. ALL THE 2013 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT, HOWEVER MY CAR WAS BUILT 9/29/13 AT THE START OF THE 2014 PRODUCTION. THEY WERE STILL USING THE SAME PARTS, SINCE AT THIS POINT THEY DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT DID NOT RECALL THE CARS INVOLVED TO BE REPAIRED. THE RESULTING LOSS OF CONTROL COULD BE FATAL IF IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY. FORTUNATELY, MY CAR DID NOT EXPERIENCE THAT CATASTROPHIC LEVEL OF IMPACT. HOWVER, IF MY CAR WAS SHIPPED TO CANADA IT WOULD BE PART OF THAT AS THEY RECALLED ALL 2014'S. WHY ISN'T THAT THE CASE HERE AS THEY ALL CAME OFF THE SAME ASSEMBLY LINE WITH THE SAME PARTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IN THE U.S. MY CAR STARTED MAKING VERY LOUD CLUNKING NOISES AS THE PARTS WERE CRACKING AND I STOPPED DRIVING IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, AND NISSAN KNOWS IT EXISTS, LOOK AT ONLIMNE REVIEWS WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, INCLUDING YOUR OWN SITE, AND YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW BAD THIS ACTUALLY IS. PLEASE TAKE THE STEPS TO EXPAND THIS RECALL FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OF US WHO OWN THIS CAR.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE PURCHASED A NISSAN ALTIMA SV, THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN SO DIM THAT AT NIGHT, IN RAIN, SNOW ETC. THEY PROVIDE NO ADEQUATE LIGHT TO LIGHT THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF THE CAR. WE HAVE TO RESORT TO TURNING ON OUR HIGH BEAM ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY TO SEE THE ROAD AND OBSTACLES. WHAT WE HAVE FOUND OUT IS THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN MATERIALS AND IT WILL COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1000 TO FIX, WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. AT THIS TIME NISSAN IS SILENT ON THE ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROADS ARE ENDANGERED BY THESE DEFECTIVE LIGHTS THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS. I HAVE HAD THE BULBS CHANGED AND IT DOES NOT IMPROVE THE HEAD LIGHT QUALITY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE BECOMING DANGEROUSLY DIM TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEY HAVE BEEN WHAT I BELIEVE DIM FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT HAVE BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. TO THE POINT I FEEL IT IS NOW A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I AM REALIZING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2014-2106 NISSAN ALTIMA. I GUESS THE COATING INSIDE THE PROJECTOR BEAM LIGHT HOUSING WEARS OFF OR DETERIORATES PREVENTING A GOOD BEAM OF LIGHT. CHANGING TO A HIGHER QUALITY LIGHT BULB ALSO DOES NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. ONLY WAY TO FIX IS APPARENTLY TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSINGS WHICH FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND COST AROUND $1000 FROM NISSAN. I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH COMMENTS FROM OTHER NISSAN ALTIMAS WITH THIS SAME GENERATION, THAT I FEEL THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE ADDRESSING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLIGHTS ON DIM QUIT WORKING SO I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BULBS, WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND HAD NEW BULBS PUT IN AND IT WAS JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE. CALL THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS THE PROJECTION SYSTEM THAT ALOT OF THESE MODELS HAD THAT PROBLEM BUT IT WASN'T A RECALL YET. I CHECKED ON GOOGLE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND DON'T HAVE THE 1200.00 TO GET IT FIXED. WHEN I TURN MY LIGHTS ON DIM IT IS LIKE SOMEONE SHUT THEM OFF COMPLETELY. THIS CAR IS USELESS AT NIGHT AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN BECAUSE OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT THEY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON AND ISN'T. SOMEONE WILL DIE IN THIS CAR ONE DAY I JUST HOPE I CAN GET RID OF IT BEFORE IT IS ME OR ONE OF MY GRANDKIDS. A CAR WITH NO LIGHTS ARE NIGHT IS A DEATH TRAP!!

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BROUGHT A 2014 ALTIMA FROM A DEALERSHIP IN 2018. I NOTICE WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND EVEN STALL OUT WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. NOW A LITTLE OVER A YEAR LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT ITS THE SAME PROBLEM DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION PART(CVT) TRANSMISSION. THIS SHOULD BE RECALL DUE TO NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN AND MOSTLY THE DANGER IT IS CAUSING FOR NISSAN CUSTOMERS. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS AND COSTLY ISSUE. NISSAN SHOULD RECTIFY THIS IMMEDIATELY
