POWER TRAIN
THE CVT TRANSMISSION WAS IDLING HIGH WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT. WITHOUT REALIZING IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, THE CAR WOULD JERK WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. AS THE CAR WAS DRIVING TLAND WITH YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS IT WOULD IDLE TO THE TOP AND WHEN IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR AND TAKE OUT. EVENTUALLY IT WOULD STALL AT 2ND GEAR AMD OF I WAS CROSSING TRAFFIC OR TURNING A CORNER IT WOULD STALL FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN KICK INTO HIGH GEAR WITH A HARD JERK.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS. CAN NOT SEE IN FRONT OF YOU WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BRIGHT LIGHTS ON TO SEE AT NIGHT. THE BRIGHT LIGHTS LOOK LIKE REGULAR HEADLIGHTS WHEN TURNED ON, NOT VERY BRIGHT TO BE BRIGHT LIGHTS. IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN AND VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I CHANGED OUT THE BULBS TWICE TO HALOGEN AND LED AND NEITHER FIXED THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL THERE IS SOMETIMES AN EXTENDED DELAY AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALWAYS, BUT I HAVE READ THAT ALOT PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE CAUSE. PERSONALLY, AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, TURNING OFF AND TURNING ON THE CAR SEEMS TO ALLOW IT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. MY SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE WITH THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN A TWO WEEK SPAN. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED DOWN ON A REGULAR TWO WAY ROADWAY. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AND THE RPMS WOULD JUST GO UP. THIS SAME EXPERIENCE HAPPENED ANOTHER TIME AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR SOME PROGRAMMING ON THIS CVT TRANSMISSION, AS THIS COULD BE A VERY POTENTIALLY BAD RISK, ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE CAN RESULT IN MAJOR ACCIDENTS/DEATHS.

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA S AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE MODULE AND FIX FOR $1000 - SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE SEAT. - I DIDN'T EVEN GET A QUOTE FOR THAT. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID SINCE MY CAR IS NOT ON RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I BELIEVE I CONTACTED THEM TWICE AND GOT THE SAME RESPONSE. IT PASSES INSPECTION SO I WILL JUST LIVE (OR DIE) WITH THE LIGHT ON. I JUST HOPE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM. I CAN'T SEE WELL AT NIGHT AS A RESULT. DEALER TOLD ME THE BULBS ARE FINE AND THAT THE PROBLEM RESIDES WITH THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. FILM HAS DEVELOPED ON THE LENSE/PROJECTOR. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1,300 TO FIX THIS WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY CAR IS WELL KEPT (GARAGED)...

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WITH ONLY THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON. HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I CAN NOT SEE MORE THAN A FOOT IN FRONT OF ME ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS. IT'S PRETTY MUCH LIKE DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON. EVEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE RIDDEN IN MY CAR CAN TELL THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NONEXISTENT. I SUFFERED SOME FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY CAR AFTER HITTING A GARBAGE CAN THAT I DID NOT SEE WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT. THIS IS TRULY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE TRIED TO GET A BRIGHT BUILT (60% MORE VISION); HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT HELP.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA HAVE CONTINUED TO GET DIM. I CAN BARELY SEE AT NIGHT, WHILE PARKED OR DRIVING. IT LOOKS LIKE MY LIGHTS ARE NOT ON AT ALL FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT. MY BRIGHTS WORK FINE. I CHANGED BOTH BULBS TO LED AND THERE IS NO CHANGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I AM GOING TO BUY NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN YOUR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER THAN YOUR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A NISSAN ALTIMA. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. HAVE REPLACED BULBS WITH MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS TWICE. POLY-CARBONATE HOUSING IS STILL RELATIVELY CLEAR, NO CHANGE IN CONDITION. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS HARROWING. ON HIGHWAY, WHEN CARS ARE BEHIND, THEIR HEADLIGHTS CREATE A SHADOW THAT THE ALTIMA BEAMS CANNOT OVERCOME. ON CITY STREETS OR COUNTY ROADS IF THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS THE LOW BEAMS PROJECT ABOUT 20 FEET. HIGH BEAMS OK UNTIL ENCOUNTER ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND MUST SWITCH TO LOW BEAMS. AT THAT POINT YOU ARE TOTALLY IN THE BLACK DUE TO THE ALTIMA WEAK BEAMS AND THE ON-COMING HEADLIGHTS. THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS HOPE THAT A WHITE LINE IS PAINTED ON THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY AND TRY TO STAY IN THE LANE. FOG CONDITIONS AT NIGHT ARE HORRIBLE WITH WEAK LOW BEAM LIGHTS. VISIBILITY IS ABOUT 3 FEET. TURNING HIGH BEAMS ON MAKES IT EQUALLY BAD. I CAN TRY TO TAKE SOME COMPARISON PICTURES IF NHTSA THINKS IT WILL HELP CLARIFY THIS WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT REFLECTOR USED IN LIGHTING HOUSING GOES BAD AND VERY LITTLE LIGHT IS ACTUALLY PROJECTED, NO MATTER WHAT BULB IS INSTALLED. MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST UNUSABLE AT NIGHT AND DEFINITELY IN RAIN OR FOG. ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT LET MY TEEN DRIVE THE ALTIMA AT NIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS USG SUPPORT. NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY - REFUTING CLAIMS BY OWNERS AND STATING OVER $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE. NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL WITHOUT USG INTERVENTION AND WE NEED NHTSA'S HELP!
