UNKNOWN OR OTHER
RANDOMLY THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. EVENTUALLY IT WILL SLOWLY START TO ROLL AND GET GOING AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND NO ISSUES HAVE BEEN FOUND. THIS HAPPENS AFTER COMING TO A STOP, AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. HASN'T MADE A DIFFERENCE WHETHER ON FLAT GROUND OR A HILL. THE VEHICLE WILL GO WEEKS WITHOUT AN ISSUE, AND THEN RANDOMLY START/STOP AGAIN. SOME WEEKS IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. SOME TIMES IT STARTS TO ACT THIS WAY UPON START UP AND OTHER TIMES I COULD BE TRAVELING FOR A LITTLE WHILE, STOP AT A LIGHT, AND TRY TO TAKE OFF AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO ACCELERATE ON A RIGHT HAND TURN AFTER STOPPING AND THE VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE. THIS HAS LEAD TO US ALMOST GETTING PLOWED INTO. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WITH NO SOLUTION, AS TO NO MECHANIC HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

SIR/MADAM, I FILED A COMPLAINT ALREADY FILE #11243824. BACK IN AUGUST. NISSAN CALLED ME BUT NO ACTION TAKEN. I CAN NOT SEE AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE LENSES ARE DEFECTIVE. I CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB 3 TIMES. IT IS NOT THE LIGHT BULB IT'S THE MIRROR SURROUNDING IT. THERE ARE 48 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE LIGHT IS DIM IN THE SAME EXACT CAR.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT LIGHT ONTO THE ROAD MAKING A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS. THE MIRROR REFLECTORS INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ARE BURNED AND CORRODED MAKING THE LOW BEAM LIGHT INEFFECTIVE. FROM THE DRIVER SEAT YOU CANNOT SEE ANY LIGHT ON THE ROADWAY, AND HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS JUST TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS REALLY EVIDENT ON ROADWAYS WITH NO STREET LIGHTS AS IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING WITH THE LIGHTS OFF ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED NEW BULBS, HIGHER INTENSITY BULBS, AND LEDS WITH NO SUCCESS. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AT A SUBSTANTIAL EXPENSE ON A VEHICLE WHICH IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE SO LOW THAT I HAVE HAD 2 NEAR ACCIDENTS. IT IS UNSAFE IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO LIGHTING. I WANTED THIS TO BE ON RECORD IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THE NHTSA IS IGNORING. MY HUSBAND AND MY SON DRIVE THE VEHICLES AT NIGHT AND I AM VERY AFRAID FOR THEM. THE COST TO REPLACE THE PART IS OVER $1000 WHICH IS UNFAIR SINCE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PRODUCT. WHY WAIT UNTIL SOME HAS A FATAL CRASH OR WORSE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE 2014 ALTIMA ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. AT NIGHT THEY PROVIDE EFFECTIVELY NO LIGHTING. TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, I MUST USE MY BRIGHTS WHICH THEN MAKES ME A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE VISIBILITY OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHT BULBS AND ALSO UPGRADED TO LED BULBS WITH LITTLE TO NO IMPROVEMENT. THIS ISSUE IS RELEVANT ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, OR COUNTRY ROADS, FROM DUSK UNTIL DAWN. WHILE DRIVING IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS IT IS EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE PEDESTRIANS AND EXTRA CAUTION IS REQUIRED AS A DRIVER TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE AROUND ME AS WELL AS MYSELF.

POWER TRAIN
TAKATA RECALL MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA STARTED LOSING POWER AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS BACK IN MAY 2019 WITH NO INDICATION WHY AS THERE WAS NO 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' AND IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND WHATEVER THEY TOLD ME TO REPAIR I DID. IT CONTINUED SPORADICALLY STALLING (LOSING POWER DOWN TO UNDER 30MPH)IN JUNE, JULY,AUGUST & NOW SEPTEMBER-DURING THIS TIME WE HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, CHANGE THE FILTERS, FINALLY TUNING UP THE CAR LAST WEEK WEDNESDAY! DIDN'T DRIVE IT THURSDAY-MONDAY NOW THIS MORNING TUESDAY IT STALLED AND START LOSING POWER AGAIN! STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NOW AFTER TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING I WAS JUST CALLED BY CONICELLI SERVICE REP TELLING ME THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE!!! AT 125000 - 5YRS OLD ! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE THIS IS OUR 8TH NISSAN AND ALL THE PREVIOUS ONES LAST UP TO 27700 MILES AND NEVER REPLACED A TRANSMISSION!! THIS IS DEFINITELY A LEMON AND NISSAN USA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING! REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION OR BUY IT BACK!!

TAKARA RECALL - THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS IN MY ALTIMA ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM, AND I WAS TOLD IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BULBS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL: THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR IN MY 2014 ALTIMA HAS SOMEHOW BROKEN FROM THE INSIDE-OUT. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT IT BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING OVER THE LAST YEAR. IT WILL NOT STAY CLIPPED INTO PLACE AND IT SEEMS THE CLIP OR SOME PIECE INSIDE OF THE VISOR AFFECTS THE ABILITY FOR THE VISOR TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VISOR BEING BROKEN IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT PROHIBITS MY VIEW AS THE DRIVER AND THE VISOR SWINGS INTO MY VIEW WHEN TURNING. WHEN THE VISOR IS LOCKED IN PLACE, I HAVE TO CROUCH DOWN TO SEE UNDER IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A HAZARD AND CONCERN FOR MANY OTHER NISSAN OWNERS. THE REAL ISSUE OF SAFETY AND THE HAZARD IS THAT THE VISOR WASN'T BROKEN DUE TO POOR USE, IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM ITS INCEPTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS PROVIDED VERY DIM ILLUMINATION. THE CONTACT COULD ONLY SEE APPROXIMATELY A FOOT AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF GADSDEN (1701 RAINBOW DR, GADSDEN, AL 35901) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *BF CONSUMER STATED LOW DIM HEADLAMPS REPLACED FOR $940.10 AT THE DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THIS A MANUFACTURING FAILURE.*JB

POWER TRAIN
AFTER DRIVING FOR A LITTLE WHILE THERE WOULD BE NO WARNING NO LIGHTS COME ON AND I WOULD COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGHT, OR TRAFFIC AND THEN WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ABOUT 5-10SECONDS THEN WOULD EVENTUALLY TAKE OFF AT A HIGH RATE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT IF A CAR IS COMING FROM ANOTHER DIRECTION IT COULD EASILY END UP IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT AND THERE IS NO STOPPING IT
