AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, THE HOOD POPPED OPENED AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. MY VISION WAS OBSTRUCTED BUT I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE IS EVIDENT DAMAGE TO BOTH FENDERS AND POSSIBLY THE HOOD. I CURRENTLY DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES THE FAILURE AND INCIDENT, HOWEVER WILL NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER TURNING A CORNER, THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN ON AN ICY ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALIGNED TO THE RIGHT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR. TWO DAYS LATER, WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR (ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY), THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL WAS WOBBLING, SEVERELY SHAKING THE CAR. DROVE THE CAR ONLY 25 MPH. ONCE AT THE REPAIR SHOP, REPAIR NEEDED WAS FOR THE CONTROL ARM. LEARNED THE 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR THE CONTROL ARM. OUR CAR IS A 2014. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS IN LATER MODELS. *LN*JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I PURCHASED MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 6 YEARS AGO. OVER TIME THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BECOME VERY DIM. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT USING MY HIGH BEAMS BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM. I CANNOT DRIVE IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THE MARKINGS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE CHANGED THE BULB AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND THAT HAS NOT HELPED. I HAVE OTHER DRIVERS FLASHING ME BECAUSE THEY THINK MY LIGHTS AREN'T ON.THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT WITH CASUALTIES TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, I CHANGED THE LIGHT BULBS 3 TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS THE PROJECTORS NOT THE LIGHT. THIS IS ACCIDENT ABOUT TO HAPPEN. THEY ARE JUST CANDLES. I MUST DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAM WHICH IS VERY BRIGHT AND IT NOT FAIR FOR THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. NISSAN DEALER WANTS $700 TO REPLACE THE PROJECTORS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 6 MILES ON IT IN 2014. I ONLY DROVE MY CAR FROM SCHOOL TO HOME, AS THIS WAS MY WORK VEHICLE. I FINISHED PAYING FOR MY NISSAN IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. MY NISSAN RECENTLY REACHED 90,000 MILES AND BEGAN TO SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO JERK AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE IT WERE PLACED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THEN AT TIMES WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE THE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE AND ROAR LOUDLY, AND SHUT OFF. MY DAD HAD TO COME AND TOW THE CAR IN TWICE DUE TO IT NOT SHUTTING DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE AND IN TRAFFIC. THE NISSAN WOULD JUST STOP ACCELERATING AND LOSE POWER. IF IT CRANKED BACK UP AT STOP LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS IT WOULD ACCELERATE SO SLOWLY THAT I WOULD GET CAUGHT UNDER RED LIGHTS OR IN THE MIDDLE OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. IT WOULD SLOWLY PICK UP SPEED WITH THE ACCELERATED PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, BUT THERE WOULD BE A BURNING SMELL THAT THE CAR WILL GIVE OFF AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS IN THE WRONG GEAR, WHILE IN DRIVE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEAD LIGHTS BECAME VERY DIM OVER TIME, EVEN WITH NEW BULBS; EVENTUALLY COULD ONLY SEE WELL A FEW YARDS AHEAD OF THE CAR. OTHER CARS WE CURRENTLY OWN AND HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A SOLUTION ONLINE, HAD THE FULL HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. THIS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. DEALER DID NOT INDICATE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT DO THIS FOR FREE, EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS SAFETY HAZARD. PURCHASED THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLIES FROM CARPARTS.COM. REPLACEMENT WAS DONE BY LEXINGTON AUTOWORKS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE BARELY LIGHTING UP THE ROAD EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULBS. IT'S COMING FROM THE SILVER HOUSING PART THAT HOLDS THE BULBS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO REPLACE THIS. I ALMOST HIT A PERSON WALKING LAST NIGHT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A DARK ROAD GOING SLOW. I HAVE TO USE MY FOG LIGHTS JUST TO HELP ME OUT SOME AND IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH LIGHTING. MY BRIGHTS WORK GREAT IT'S JUST THE LOW BEAM.

MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT A MILE FROM OUR HOME (GOING ABOUT 20 MPH) WHEN HIT HIT A BUMP AND THE BACK AXEL BROKE. FORTUNATELY HE WAS CLOSE TO HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HAD HE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE, HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS FROM THIS YEAR BUT THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE LIST OF VINS THAT QUALIFY FOR REIMBURSEMENT. WE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE WHICH COST ABOUT $400 IN LABOR AND $225.49 IN NISSAN PARTS. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 80,000 MILES AT THE TIME. THIS SEEMS LIKE A CLEAR CASE OF FAULTY PARTS.
