AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON SO WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. VEHICLE HAS 60K MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. ED MARTIN FISHERS IN NISSAN SAID THAT REPLACING THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG MAY FIX THE ISSUE. ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE REPLACEMENT IS APPROXIMATELY $1400. HOW IS THIS NOT A COVERED RECALL OR WARRANTY ISSUE. IT SHOULD'T BE A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND THERE IS NOTHING WE DID TO BREAK THE AIR BAG?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE ALWAYS SUPPLIED POOR LIGHTING AND IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE EACH YEAR TO THE POINT NOW IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. WE HAVE EVEN TRIED REPLACING THE BULBS AT OUR OWN EXPENSE WITH BRIGHTER ONES BUT IT DOES NOT HELP. ACCORDING TO STANHOPE NISSAN IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT CAN ONLY BE RESOLVED BY REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WHICH WOULD COST OVER $1000. WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT DOES NOT COVER IT. I TRIED CONTACTING NISSAN WITH THIS ISSUE AND THEY DON'T CARE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, PERIOD.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM TOLD AT THE NISSAN DEALER THAT THEY KNOW THAT THE PROJECTION LENS ON THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY LAST ABOUT 2 YEARS AND THEN THE CUSTOMER MUST SPEND ABOUT $1200 TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLYS. THE DIM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM, ON UNLIT ROADS, YOU MUST RUN THE BRIGHTS AT ALL TIMES IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD AND THE CURB. NISSAN DOES NOT HONOR ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY ON THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY HAVE GIVEN THEIR SERVICE DEPT A BULLITIN SO THAT THEY KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PARKED THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES LEFT IT IDLING. WHEN I RETURNED, STRAPPED MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT THEN GOT IN WAITING FOR HER MOTHER. WHEN SHE GOT IN PULLED OUT OF THE SPOT THE CAR HESITATED TO ACCELERATE, I DROVE A FEW MILES IN WHAT I GOT TO KNOW AS LIMP MODE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. WHEN WE REACHED DESTINATION, TURN CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON IT WAS FINE. RETURNED THEM HOME THEN ON MY WAY HOME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I DIAGNOSED THE CAR AND GOT P0776 SOLENOID STUCK/OFF. IT SEEMS THESE CARS HAVE AN ISSUE NOT BEING ADDRESSED I JUST BUY THE CAR WITH 68000 MILES IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I'M GOING TO THE DEALER AND THEY BETTER FIX IT AT NO COST TO ME OR GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR I DON'T NEED EXPENSIVE PROBLEMS. WHY HASN'T THESE CAR BEEN RECALLED. CLEARLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I JUST PURCHASED A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA 3.5 SL SEDAN. WHILE TAKING FOR A TEST DRIVE AFTER RECEIVING THE VEHICLE, MY 12-YEAR-OLD ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW PART WAY AND HER DOOR POPPED OPEN! I HAD TO PULL OVER TO CLOSE THE DOOR. IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW AND THE DOOR IMMEDIATELY POPPED OPEN. I COULD NOT CLOSE THE DOOR UNTIL I ROLLED THE WINDOW BACK UP. I LEARNED OF THE RECALL FOR THE WINDOW HITTING THE DOOR RELEASE AND REPORTED IT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE CENTER WHERE I TOOK IT AS WELL AS TO NISSAN NA. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND A REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED ME TODAY TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT NISSAN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS DANGEROUS! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE MANUFACTURERS FIX SAFETY ISSUES THAT COME UP EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED IN A POOL OF VINS TARGETED IN RECALL CAMPAIGNS. NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO FIX THEM ALL, NOT JUST CHOICE ONES. ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS PROOF OF THE MALFUNCTION HAPPENING. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED HER HUSBAND REROUTED THE CABLES IN THE DOOR AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I JUST CALLED NISSAN. ON JUNE 8 18 I TOOK MY CAR TO CHANDLER NISSAN FOR PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION. THEY SAID IT HAD A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CHECKED IT AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I RECEIVED A QUOTE ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHILE THERE. I LATER CALLED AND EMAILED TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY BUT KEPT GETTING THE RUN AROUND. FAST FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND, GETTING ON THE FREEWAY NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. RPM JUST THROUGH THE ROOF. ITS DONE THAT A FEW TIMES NOW, SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT (AFTER INSPECTION) IT WOULD LAG TO ACCELERATE JUST NOT TOTALLY LIKE IT DID NOW. I'M A GIRL AND THOUGHT THAT WAS NORMAL IT JUST DIDN'T PICK UP AND GO AND WHINED A LITTLE. TODAYS MILES = 61850. CALLED NISSAN, THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME... THE CAR HAD 57468 MILES AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE OTHER ISSUE WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BEFORE I HIT 60K THE SIDE AIRBAG ALERT WENT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT DISAPPEARED. TOOK IT TO MIDWAY NISSAN AND THEY SAID COULD BE A FAULTY SENSOR OR COULD BE A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG BUT ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY QUOTED $1400 TO FIX THAT. I FORGOT TO TELL THE NISSAN REP THAT WHEN I CALLED BUT I WILL DO SO WHEN THEY CALL ME BACK. HOPING THEY WILL BE HELPFUL. I WILL UPDATE AS I GET MORE INFO.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I'VE NOW REPLACED MY HEADLIGHTS A SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A MONTH AND NO CHANGE. WHEN I DRIVE ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS, OR WHEN I TURN AT DARK I HAVE NO VISIBILITY FROM MY HEADLIGHTS.THE LIGHTS AREN'T PROEJECTING ENOUGH LIGHT SO THAT I CAN SEE THREE FEET AHEAD OF ME. OTHER VEHICLES PULL UP BEHIND ME AND THEIR HEADLIGHTS SHOW A SHADOW IN FRONT OF ME. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME $200 TO LOOK AT THEM TO TELL ME I WHAT'S WRONG. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER'SIDE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY SIDE LIGHT ALL OR FRONT LIGHT GREATER THAN 10 FEET. THE LIGHT BULBS FOR BOTH LOW BEAMS WERE REPLACED WITH LED BULBS 02/03/2019, WHICH MADE NO DIFFERENCE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER. THE LACK OF LIGHT POWER MAKES DRIVING AT NIGHT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY LEFT TURNS WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SEE DURING A LEFT TURN. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN IN JUNE 2017, THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH 2015.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM AND THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE MORE THAN 10-15 FEET IN FRONT MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT TIME. A WRITTEN COMPLAINT WAS SENT DIRECTLY TO NISSAN WITH NO RESPONSE FOR THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THIS IS THE NATURE OF PROJECTOR LIGHTS. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IT IS TIME THAT I SPEAK UP BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY'S WELL BEING WHEN THEY DRIVE AT NIGHT. I NOTICED THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AS WELL AS THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL/ REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE DUE TO LACK OF ADEQUATE LIGHTING AT NIGHT.
