JUNE 2019, VEHICLE STARTED TO JUDDER, SHAKE AND STALLED OUT AT RED LIGHT. PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. APPROACHING ANOTHER SET OF LIGHTS, VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN AND THE JUDDER AND SHAKING BEGAN, I DID NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP SO THE CAR DID NOT STALL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I THEN LET THE CAR SIT FOR 2 DAYS BEFORE I DROVE IT AGAIN AND WHEN I TEST DROVE IT AFTER THOSE 2 DAYS, THE CAR SEEMED TO BE BETTER, IT DID NOT STALL OUT. IT DID SHAKE A LITTLE AND JUDDER. NO PROBLEMS LIKE THAT OCCURRED UNTIL 3/9/2020. APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, CAR JUDDERS, STARTED SHAKING AND STALLED OUT. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, RESTARTED, FROM PARK TO DRIVE, IT STALLED. I REPEATED THIS PROCESS FOR 5 MINUTES. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND PHYSICALLY PUSH THE CAR OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. 3/10/2020 DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE VEHICLE ON MY WAY THERE. JUDDERING, SHAKING AND STALLING. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND MAKE SURE I DID NOT LET THE VEHICLE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE IT WOULD STALL OUT. I WENT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THAT WAS THE EASIEST ROUTE. THE ENTIRE TIME THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND I WAS GOING 60MPH, WHICH WAS 5MPH UNDER SPEED LIMIT. PARKED THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP. EXPLAINED TO THE TECHNICIANS WHAT WAS WRONG, ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS TOOK MY VEHICLE FROM WHERE I PARKED AND BROUGHT IT INTO THE GARAGE. HE CONFIRMED MY CAR WAS JUDDERING, SHAKING AND STALLED. THEY NOTIFIED ME THE CAR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE LOOKED AT POSSIBLY UNTIL 3/16. MY CAR SAT THERE FOR A FEW DAYS, LIKE IT DID BACK IN 2019 WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. UPON FURTHER REVIEW OF THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING, JUDDERING AND SHAKING. SO THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION INSTEAD THEY REPLACED THE VALVE PIPE

AIR BAGS
I HAD AN AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON RECENTLY. MY NISSAN DEALER SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SIDE AIRBAG WHICH IS BUILT INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND WOULD REQUIRE THE BACK PORTION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A 2014 ALTIMA WITH LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT ALREADY HAVING AN AIRBAG FAULT OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO ACCIDENT. IT CONCERNS ME THAT I AM HAVING TO FOOT A $1600 BILL TO FIX A PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT THE MANUFACTURE SEEMS TO HAVE POORLY MADE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. HALOGEN, LOW BEAM (H11) BULBS ARE WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT OT IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. SWITCHING OUT THE HALOGEN FOR HID AND LED IS ALSO NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ILLUMINATE UP TO 1 - 2 FEET IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LOW BEAM IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU AND IS A SAFTY ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PULLED INTO A HANDICAP PARKING PLACE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED. KNOCKING DOWN THE HANDICAP SIGN AND WENT THROUGH A STORE GLASS WINDOW.WE SAT THERE IN SHOCK NOT NOTHING WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THE POLICE ARRIVED AND A SAID IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE GAS PEDAL, THEY ASSUME SINCE I WAS A OLDER PERSON THAT I HAD STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I KNOW I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I FEEL THIS IS DIFFERENTLY A RECALL PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2000 AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE LOST MY LICENSE AND MY INSURANCE OVER THIS. PLEASE TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY! WHAT IF THIS WAS A SCHOOL CROSSWALK AND CHILDREN WERE GOING ACROSS. I WORKED IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 47 YEARS NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TRAVEL AND ENJOY MY RETIREMENT. I CAN'T EVEN GO TO THE DOCTORS OR GROCERY STORES. PLEASE SAVE OUR CHILDREN AND OUR COMMUNITY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AT THE TIME THIS HAPPED.

WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY BECAME VERY UNSTABLE AND WOBBLED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN. AT THE TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT LOSING CONTROL. HAD THIS OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. ON INVESTIGATION LOWER REAR CONTROL ARM HAD SNAPPED ON PASSENGER SIDE. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH NISSAN ALTIMAS. CURRENTLY DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPAIR UNDER AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA BECAUSE THAT ONLY IMPACTS 2013 MODELS. THIS WAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE AGREEMENT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5S MODEL. AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS GETTING DIMER AND DIMER TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAD THE OE BULBS REPLACED WITH LID LIGHTS AND IT DID NOTHING FOR THE PROJECTION OF THE HEADLAMPS STILL DIM. SO I THAN HAD HID BULBS PUT IN AND SAME THING NO PROJECTION OUT OF THE LENSES. I GOT ON A NISSAN FORUM AND IT TALKED ABOUT THE INSIDE OF THE LENS LOOSING ITS REFLECTING ABILITY. SO I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN RENTON WHERE I HAD PURCHASED MY CAR AND WAS TOLD TO CALL THE NISSANS 800 NUMBER. I DID CALL AND SPOKE TO A JENNIFER. TOLD HER EVERYTHING I JUST STATED ITS OBVIOUS IF YOU LOOK THRU THE LENS THAT YOU CAN SEE THE INTERNAL REFLECTION ABILITY IS GONE. SHE TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN AND PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS TO GET IT BACK TO OE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE NISSAN FORUM THIS IS A SEVERE OCCURRING ISSUE. SO YONKER NISSAN AND NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA IT SEEMS SAFETY IS NOT AN ISSUE TO ME OR MY FAMILY SO NEITHER IS MY BUSINESS THAT GOES FOR BOTH OF YOU.. AND I DO HOPE YOU TRAIN YOUR NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA STAFF ON THE MAGNUSSON ACT CAUSE AFTERMARKET GIVES A 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE LENS ASSEMBLIES TO YOUR 1 YEAR.SO I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN.
