VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN LOSS OF ROADWAY VISIBILITY DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING AND DIMMING OF MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN MOTOR CORP AND MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN BRADENTON AND BRANDON, WHO ADVISED IT WOULD REQUIRE ME TO PAY A COSTLY REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THE PROBLEM HAS WORSEN. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT, LIMITING MY SCHEDULE TO AN ALMOST HALT WHEN LEAVING FROM WORK. MY COMMUTE IS LONG AND DANGEROUS.THERE HAS BEEN NEAR MISS CAR ACCIDENTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS. THE DIM LIGHTING IS POSING A RISK TO ME AS A DRIVER, I AM VISUALLY IMPAIRED AS WELL, PLEASE HELP SOON.

I HAVE NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 FOR 4 YEARS. I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS THAT LIMITED MY DRIVING DURING NIGHT OR DARK SITUATION. THE FIRST YEAR OF MY CAR, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FINE AND WORK, BUT IN THE SECOND YEAR, HEADLIGHT BECOMES MORE DIMER. ON THE SECOND YEAR, I TOOK IT FOR VA INSPECTION, AND THE INSPECTOR TOLD ME TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEADLIGHTS. AFTER A WHILE I NOTICED, IT BECOMES MORE DIMER. I CANNOT SEE 10 FEET IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I ALMOST HATE TWO PERSON AND MANY TIMES I HATED THE ISLAND OR MIDDEN. I AM OK AND THE CAR DID NOT HAVE BIG DAMAGE OR PROBLEM. TODAY, I TOOK IT FOR YEARLY INSPECTION, AND THE INSPECTOR DID NOT PASS THE INSPECTION IN THE SAME KIND OF CONDITION. I PROMISE HER THAT I FIX MY CAR AND SHOW IT TO HER IN TWO WEEKS. OTHERWISE, SHE NEVER PASSED MY INSPECTION IN NEXT YEAR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR FLOPS DOWN WHEN DRIVING. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE THAT HOLDS IT UP. CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT BLOCKS VISIBILITY. THE PART BROKE AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO COVER. IN ADDITION THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED IS ALSO REFUSING TO COVER THE PART. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE DRIVERS SIDE VISOR BLOCKS SUN FROM BLINDING ME WHEN DRIVING BUT HAVING IT BLOCKING MY VIEW COMPLETELY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE VISOR. IT IS ALSO IN THE MURANO AND THE PATHFINDER YET THEY ARE CLAIMING THIS IS A WEAR ISSUE THAT SOMEHOW I AM AT FAULT FOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. NISSAN CONTINUES TO KNOWINGLY INSTALL DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THEIR CARS WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN
A FEW WEEKS AGO MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND PRESSED ON THE GAS. I HAD TO ALMOST FLOOR IT FOR IT TO EVEN GO AND THEN IT WOULD ACCELERATE SLOWLY. I GOT IT LOOKED AT AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN A FEW DAYS AGO IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN, EVERY STOP I MADE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL I PRESSED ON THE GAS HARD THEN IT SLOWLY STARTED MOVING, ONLY THIS TIME THE RPM WENT CRAZY AND IT STARTED SHUTTING DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO AT ALL, IT COMPLETELY STALLED. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT SO CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED AND WORKED FINE AGAIN. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID IT MAY BE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST 1500$ IF THAT IS ALL IT IS IF THEY GO IN AND IT DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM THEN I WILL NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID MY WARRANTY SHOULD COVER IT BUT MAY NOT COVER ALL OF IT. MY CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD IT SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN I FELT THE CAR DOING THE SAME THING I TOOK THE BACK ROADS INSTEAD OF THE FREEWAY. IMAGINE IF MY CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY OR IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME AND HIT ME BECAUSE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO WARNING OF ANY KIND CAME ON.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. DASH PANEL DISPLAYED KEY NOT DETECTED. CAR WOULDN'T START. REPLACE BATTERY IN KEY FOB WITH A BRAND NEW ENERGIZER BATTERY. WORKED FINE TWO TIMES AND DID THE SAME THING. HAD CAR BATTERY CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS GOOD. CAR WOULDN'T START ON ME AGAIN IN AN UNLIT PARKING LOT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAVE READ ON BLOGS THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH THIS CAR. WHY WON'T THEY FIX IT?

MY HEADLIGHTS STARTED DIMMING OVER A YEAR AGO, AND I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE GROUND IN FRONT OF MY CAR AT NIGHT. I'VE COMPLAINED TO ORR NISSAN, BOSSIER CITY, LA AND THEY ACT AS THOUGH THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. I NEED THIS FIXED BY THEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE A TRAGEDY OCCURS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE PARALLEL PARKING ON THE STREET NEXT TO MY HOME, MY CAR EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I HAD PULLED INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES IN THE PHOTO PROVIDED. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR STATIONARY, I PLACED THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO REVERSE IN ORDER TO BACK AWAY FROM THE CAR IN FRONT. AS I STARTED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE, MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. I PRESSED AGAINST THE BRAKE. WITH THE WHEELS SKIDDING ALONG THE ASPHALT AND HAVING THE FRONT WHEELS TURNED SLIGHTLY, THE CAR HIT THE CURB AND THE CAR BEHIND ME. ALL CARS PICTURED ARE FAMILY MEMBERS CARS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE NISSAN COMPLAINT HOT LINE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS A UPDATE FOR THE CONTROL UNIT, BUT THAT WHAT I HAD EXPERIENCED IS NOT A CONDITION FOR THE UPDATE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WAS ON A GIRLS TRIP TO ROCKPORT, TX ON SEPT 1, 2018. ONE OF THE LADIES ASKED IF MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. I SAID YES. SHE ASKED ME TO PULL OVER SO SHE CAN CONFIRM. SHE CONFIRMED THE LIGHTS WERE ON. ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2018 I WAS COMING BACK HOME ON A DARK HIGHWAY WITH MY SISTER WHEN WE FOUND COULD NOT SEE THREE FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARED AS THOUGH I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS ON. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND DROVE TO THE FIRST OPEN AUTO PARTS PLACE I COULD FIND ON A SUNDAY NIGHT AROUND 8PM. THE MAN SUGGESTED BULB REPLACEMENT. I REPLACED THE BULBS. HOWEVER, ON OCTOBER 20, 2018 I WAS AGAIN DRIVING AND ON A DARK ROAD WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE WALKING ON THE SIDE AND I NEARLY HIT A PERSON BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THEM BECAUSE OF THE POOR LIGHTING COME FROM THE HEADLIGHT. I WENT BACK TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND THE MAN SUGGEST A MORE EXPENSIVE BULBS AND AS OF TODAY OCTOBER 25, 2018 I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE AND THE PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE. I AM ABOUT TO DRIVE TO ARKANSAS IN TWO WEEKS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE THIS WAY. ALL CARS DRIVING NEXT TO ME HAVE MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT LIGHTING FOR THE ROAD. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE, DANGEROUS, HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE FAILING SO NO ONE BECOME A CASUALTY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY DIM ON LOW BEAM. CANNOT SEE EVEN A FEW FEET AHEAD, CANNOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE SIDES LIKE CURBS. MAKES IT TREACHEROUS TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE THEM WITHOUT THE BRIGHTS ON. BARELY BRIGHT ENOUGH TO PICK UP ON THE REFLECTIVE BUTTONS THAT MARK LANES. CAN'T SEE ENOUGH OF THE STREET TO MAKE TURNS, WITHOUT RUNNING THE RISK OF MISSING THE LANE AND HITTING THE CURB OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM JUST AROSE IN THE LAST 2-3 MONTHS. PRIOR TO THAT THE HEADLIGHTS SEEMED FINE, AND I DO A LOT OF NIGHT DRIVING. SOME WITH CITY STREETLIGHTS, AND SOME ON ROADS WITH MINIMAL LIGHTING. LIGHTS MAY HAVE DIMMED GRADUALLY, BUT I FIRST NOTICED IT IN LATE AUGUST, EARLY SEPTEMBER 2018. AT THAT POINT IT WAS A VERY NOTICEABLE CHANGE. 2 PASSENGERS HAVE POINTED OUT THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK I EVEN HAD THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON. ON HIGH BEAM, THE LIGHTS WORK WONDERFULLY. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT IS NOT SAFE TO USE WHEN FACING ONCOMING VEHICLES OR WITH VEHICLES IN FRONT OF YOU. THIS IS NOT AN OXIDATION ISSUE OF THE LENS COVER. THE LENS IS CRYSTAL CLEAR STILL, AND THE CAR IS JUST NOW ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD. HAS 55000 MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FOR NISSAN ALTIMAS. I'M AFRAID SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND HELP PREVENT SUCH A TRAGEDY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I KEEP READING THE SAME EXACT STORY AS MINE, YET NO RECALLS OR HELP FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SO MANY NISSAN ALTIMAS. SITTING STILL AT A REDLIGHT, LIGHT TURNS GREEN, YOUR FOOT IS ON ACCELERATOR BUT NOTHING HAPPENS FOR FIVE TO TEN SECONDS. FINALLY THE ENGINE BEGINS TO REV. EXTREMELY SCARY WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. CAN ALSO HAPPEN WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TACHOMETER RACES, ENGINE RACES, AND WONT COME DOWN UNTIL YOU PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURN IT BACK ON. THIS RESETS SOMETHING AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY THEN. TURNING IT BACK ON RESETS THE PROBLEM SO IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SIMPLE ISSUE BUT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MY WHOLE FAMILY HAS COME CLOSE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF BEING IN A SERIOUS WRECK DUE TO THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM. I'M SHOCKED THAT NISSAN HASN'T HAD A RECALL ON THIS. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE VALVE BODY BE REPLACED, BUT THIS IS NOT IN EFFECT FOR MY PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER. YOU ASKED BELOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. SPORADICALLY, MAYBE ONCE EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS.

TOOK MY NISSAN TO JEFF WYLER KINGS NISSAN IN CINCINNATI, OHIO ON OCTOBER 16TH AFTER I WAS MADE AWARE OF A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPROGRAM CVT TRANSMISSION. PICKED UP CAR THAT AFTERNOON DROVE IT REST OF DAY AND THE NEXT DAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $4200. MY CAR IS ALMOST 4 YRS OLD WITH 84,000 MILES ON IT. THE TECH SAID THE REASON FOR THE REPROGRAMMING WAS TO PICK UP ON THE ISSUES IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TECH TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MONTHS AND EVEN A YEAR OR SO AND THE COMPUTER NOT THROW THE ENGINE CODE BECAUSE OF EITHER FAULTY TRANSMISSION OR TRANSMISSION PROGRAM. I JUST FEEL ITS EXTREMELY FISHY THAT AFTER THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION THE VERY NEXT DAY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND HAVE A CASE # OR CA # OF 33093284 AND AM ASKING NISSAN TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION UNDER WARRANTY.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE DURING HOT OR COLD WEATHER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR WILL HESITATE TO MOVE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN WILL SUDDENLY BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AT A VERY LOW SPEED. IF I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT BEHAVES NORMALLY AGAIN. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS THIS WINTER AND SUMMER WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DUNLOP TIRES WHICH CAME WITH THE NEW 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA I BOUGHT IN JANUARY OF 2015 WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2013. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, I WAS LOOSING AIR IN ALL FOUR (4) TIRES. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. SO I WENT AND I BOUGHT AN AIR PUMP WHICH I USED ALMOST EVERY WEEK TO FILL IN THE AIR I WAS LOSING. RECENTLY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN, ONE OF THE TIRES LOST 15 POINTS PRESSURE WITHIN ONE MILE ON THE ROAD. IT WAS A ZIPLINE FRACTURE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE TIRES FOR ME. I CONTACTED BOTH DUNLOP AND NISSAN AND BOTH KEPT ON THROWING THE PROBLEM ON EACH OTHER. DUNLOP OFFERED TO GIVE ME A REPLACEMENT CREDIT TO BE USED FOR DUNLOP/GOODYEAR TIRES WHICH I DO NOT TRUST. NISSAN REFUSED TO HEAR MY COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WARRANT TIRES EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE DUNLOP TIRES WITH THE NEW VEHICLES. I DO NOT TRUST EITHER OF THE TWO COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THANK GOD THAT WE DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURY OR DEATH BUT THE 2013 TIRES WERE REALLY DEFECTIVE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY, WHEN I ENCOUNTER A HILL OR ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE TO MAINTAIN SPEED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND BUT INSTEAD HESITATES AND STARTS TO SLOW. ONLY WITH A SECOND OR THIRD APPLICATION OF PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL DOES THE VEHICLE START TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. ALSO, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE FROM A SHOPPING CENTER THAT I FREQUENT I HAVE TO CROSS TWO LANES OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC TO ENTER THE THIRD LANE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. FROM A STANDING FULL STOP I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ADVANCES TWO OR THREE FEET AND THEN COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL PRODUCES NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE GEARSHIFT LEVER IS IN DRIVE BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. APPROACHING HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC IS NOW SWERVING TO AVOID MY STOPPED VEHICLE. THIS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR RESOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM. ON THE LAST OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT FOR FOUR DAYS AND I GAVE PERMISSION TO THE TECHNICIAN TO OPERATE THE CAR AT WILL TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM COULD BE DETECTED. THE VEHICLE HAS 34,000 ON IT. I BELIEVE OPERATING THIS CAR IN THE PRESENT CONDITION PUTS ME AT GREAT RISK. IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED WHILE IT STILL UNDER WARRENTY.
