UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR STARTED THIS ISSUE AROUND 84,000 MILES. ONCE A MONTH IT LOOSES POWER USUALLY AFTER I'M STOPPED. I TRY TO TAKE OFF IT SOMETIMES HESITATES FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TAKES OFF SLOWLY A LACK OF ABOUT 75% POWER. I HAD A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS IN THE CITY. I GET OUT THERE AND THEN IT ACTS UP WHILE I'M TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. IT'S SEEMS TO NOT SHIFT GEARS ALSO THE ENGINE WILL JUST SCREAM. I ALSO LEARNED BY SHUTTING CAR OFF PROBLEM GOES AWAY LIKE OTHER PEOPLES CARS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PERSISTANT POOR LIGHT PRODUCTION OF LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS/ HEAD LAMP PROJECTORS. HAVE REPLACED HEAD LAMP BULBS WITH STONGER H11 BULBS, INCLUDING LED AND YOU CAN BARELY SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT. CLEARLY THE PROJECTOR DETERIORATES OR FAILS AS CAR AGES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AS YOU CANNOT CLEARLY SEE THE ROAD UNLESS YOU USE HI BEAM, WHICH IS NOT PRACTICAL. EVEN WITH FOG LAMPS TURNED ON, FORWARD VIEW IS DIFFICULT IN NIGHT AND ABSOLUTELY DANGEROUS IN POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS. THIS IS WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT NIGHT, POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS, DUSK, DAWN, LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS.

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
TAKATA RECALL- THIS CAR IS THE WORST AND HORRIBLY BUILT. IF YOU SIT IN THE CAR IT LOOKS LIKE A NICE CAR BUT IF YOU TAKE A PEAK YOU WILL SEE HOW HORRIBLE IT IS. UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL YOU CAN SEE THE WIRES HANGING OUT. THE FUEL ON THE CAR IS DONE. WE ALWAYS GET THE CAR CHECKED AND IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL. WHICH PROBABLY HAS TO DO WITH THE 2015 RECALL THAT WE WEREN'T PROPERLY NOTIFIED ABOUT. THE WINDOWS DO A WEIRD LOCK THING, WHERE SOMETIMES I THINK I'M UNLOCKING THE WINDOW AND THE DOOR AT THE SAME TIME. I HATE THAT WE INVESTED SO MUCH INTO THIS NISSAN AND IT'S PROBABLY THE WORST CAR EVER (AND IVE ONLY HAD NISSANS SINCE I WAS 16 SO THAT SAYS ALOT). WHEN YOUR DRIVING THE CAR JERKS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF BUT WHEN WE TAKE IT ANYWHERE THEY DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS TRASH.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS THE 3RD COMPLAINT. I NOW HAVE NO LIGHT PROJECTING FROM A GOOD BULB ON THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT AND THERE IS ONLY 1 FOOT OF PROJECTION OF LIGHT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS AND THE PUBLIC THAT I DRIVE BEHIND WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED. I TRY NOT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, BUT I DO HAVE THINGS I NEED TO DO OR PEOPLE I NEED TO SEE THAT PUTS MY IN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I LOVE MY CAR AND I AM CLOSE TO PAYING IT OFF, SO I WON'T BE GOING INTO ANOTHER CAR LOAN. I WANT NISSAN TO FIX THIS DEFECTIVE ISSUE ASAP.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 SV IN NOVEMBER 2, FROM QUEENS AUTO MALL IN QUEENS, NY. 3 WEEKS LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT GO EVEN IF I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GROUND. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AND HAD ME PAY FOR THE NEW SPARK PLUGS. HERE I AM 3 MONTHS LATER AND I HAD TO FIX THE TPMS. THE. DRIVING THE CAR A FEW TIMES LONG DISTANCE. THIS IS WHAT STARTED HAPPENING: STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, I WOULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AND ACCELERATE. I WENT TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO PASS 10 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE RPM WAS RACING BETWEEN 1.5-3 RPM. THIS WOULD STOP ONCE I PRESSED THE BRAKES. IT STARTED MAKING A RACING NOISE WITH NO GAS POWER, THEN IT WOULD KICK IN AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND RE-STARTED. THE CAR WAS "NORMAL" AGAIN. I LET IT SIT FOR THREE HOURS BEFORE DRIVING HOME. AND IT STARTED MAKING THE NOISE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $2,000 DOLLARS. HE ALSO SAID THAT HIS SHOP HAS BEEN FIXING THIS ISSUES ON MANY NISSAN AND THAT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH NISSAN. ALSO ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY AND DO. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT LOOKING UP AND READING CARCOMPLAINTS.COM I SEE THIS ISSUE IS HUGE AND NISSAN SHOULD DO A RECALL. NOT EVERYONE HAS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP PAYING FOR THE SAME ISSUE MONTH AFTER MONTH.
