AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF. I'M UNSURE WHICH AIRBAG, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE LIGHT ON MEANS AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY CORRECTLY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IT STARTED ON 12/13/20 AND HAS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT 12/14/20. THE LIGHT STAYS ON REGARDLESS OF WHAT POSITION IT'S IN. PARKED, TURNING, DRIVING, ETC.

HEADLIGHTS ARE USELESS ON LOW BEAM. IT'S LIKE DRIVING WITH FLASHLIGHTS TAPED TO THE CAR. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS VERY DANGEROUS. A SEARCH ON INTERNET REVEALS PAGES OF NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. WHY IS NISSAN NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT?

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO JERK AND A SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD BUT I CONTINUED DRIVING ON CITY STREET. I GOT TO A LIGHT ABOUT TO TURN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD BUT ONLY ROLL BACK. IT'S THE CVT TRANSMISSION PER TWO SHOPS THAT RECEIVED CODES FOR THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO I SEE WHERE NISSAN HAS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS THERE VEHICLES. EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED I HAVE ABOUT 140,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE CLEARLY IT'S SOMETHING WITH THE EQUIPMENT.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2013-2015 HEADLIGHTS BECOMING SO DIM THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE IN LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS. THROUGH A LOT OF RESEARCH AND MONEY OF REPLACING BULBS AND TIME PULLING THE HEADLIGHTS APART IT'S APPARENT THE REFLECTIVE MATERIAL IN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS IS BURNT OFF OR OXIDIZED PREVENTING THE HEADLIGHT FROM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY IN ANY DRIV ING CONDITIONS AT ALL. NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THESE FAULTY HEADLIGHTS AND REFUSES TO CORRECT THIS UNSAFE ISSUE.

SUSPENSION
I HAVE BEEN HEARING A CLUNKING SOUND FROM REAR OF CAR FOR FEW YEARS MULTIPLE TRIPS TO DEALERS AND HAD THEM LOOK INTO NOISE. THE ONLY THING THEY CAME UP WITH IS THE SHOCKS WERE BAD, I REPLACED THEM AND CAR STILL HAD THE CLUNKING SOUND. I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM TRIP TO STORE AND WHEN ENTERING MY DRIVEWAY OFF PUBLIC SIDE ROAD @ ABOUT 2MPH THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR CONTROL ARM BROKE CLEAN OFF FROM THE MOUNT BOLTED TO THE FRAME AND THE TIRE CRASHED INTO THE INNER FENDER AND TWISTED TO ~45 DEGREE ANGLE. I KNOW THAT THE 2013 HAS A RECALL IN USA AND CANADA AND CANADA ALSO HAS RECALL FOR 2014 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS HAD BROKE WHILE I WAS ON EXPRESSWAY 5 MINUTES EARLIER THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF AND PASSENGERS NOT TO MENTION ANY BODY ELSE THAT COULD HAVE IN MY PATH. WHEN DEALER REPLACED DRIVER SIDE HE SAID THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALSO AS IT WAS SHOWING STRESS CRACKS. THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND LOCATED LOCATED IN WISCONSIN I HAVE ALL THE PARTS THAT CAME OFF THE CAR IF ANYTHING IS NEEDED I CAN BE REACHED @ [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THE HALOGEN BULBS, AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO TRIED TO SWITCH TO LED BULBS, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX IT EITHER. ON HIGHWAYS, IT'S HARD TO SEE STREET SIGNS AND ON MULTI-LANE FREEWAYS, THE LANE MARKERS ARE HARDER TO SEE BECAUSE I'M GOING AT A FASTER SPEED. ON TOP OF THAT, I CANNOT SEE FURTHER AHEAD ON ANY ROAD AND ONCOMING CAR'S HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE BRIGHTER THAN MINE MAKE THE PROBLEM EVEN WORSE. I NEED THIS PROBLEM FIXED.
