VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR RANDOMLY DROPS INTO THE DOWN POSITION BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. THE VISOR FALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN BE STARTLING. IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO RETURN TO THE UP POSITION. UPON INSPECTION IT APPEARS THAT THE BODY OF THE VISOR HAS COME APART AT THE SEAMS INSIDE OF THE CLOTH COVERING. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE IN MOTION DURING A VARIETY OF DRIVING CONDITIONS.

WHEN AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF. WHEN WE STOP THE CAR THE PASSENGER GETS OUT AND THEN BACK IN THE AIRBAG IS TURNED ON BUT THEN TURNS IT SELF OFF AGAIN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS BECAME INCREASINGLY DIM OVER SEVERAL MONTHS TO THE POINT WHERE THERE IS NO FORWARD STREET ILLUMINATION. I NOW MUST ALWAYS DRIVE WITH BRIGHT HI-BEAM LIGHTS ON. ON-COMING DRIVERS OFTEN FLASH FOR ME TO DIM/LOWER THE BRIGHTS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR BOTH ME AND THE APPROACHING DRIVER. DEALER TECHNICIAN CONFIRMS THAT BULBS ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL WITH NORMAL DIM BRIGHTNESS AND DO NOT NEED REPLACING. THE ONLY REMEDY SUGGESTED IS FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $1000 EACH. THIS ON A FOUR YEAR OLD CAR SUGGESTS TO ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. A 30 SECOND ON-LINE SEARCH INSTANTLY SHOWS THAT OTHER 2013-2015 NISSAN ALTIMA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE SINCE 25K MILES. THE CAR REVS AND LOSES SPEED. SOMETIMES I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WILL NOT GO FOR 2-5 SECOMDS. RECENTLY GOING UP A HILL THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. TURNING THE CAR OFF CAN "CURE" THE SYMPTOM UNTIL IT RANDOMLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS DIFFICULT DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, OR DECIDING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS BECAUSE I CAN NOT DEPEND ON ACCELERATION

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BELIEVE MY AIRBAGS MAY HAVE SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT AT AROUND 45 - 50 MPH, SHOCKING AND BLINDING ME, CAUSING ME TO VEER OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CRASHING INTO A DITCH, TOTALING MY CAR. ALL I REMEMBER WAS ONE SECOND, I WAS DRIVING AND THE NEXT, I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AND WAS BRAKING & SCREAMING, ON A WILD, BUMPY RIDE, NOT KNOWING WHERE TO STEER BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE PAST THE AIRBAGS AND DUST/CHEMICALS/SMOKE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE NO MATTER HOW FAR PUT MY FOOT DOWN ON THE PEDAL IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS EXTREAMLY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTION IN VERY BUSY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. I WOULD SAY I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THIS SITUATION, BUT THE DRIVERS COMING THE OTHER WAY SAW I WAS HAVING. A PROBLEM AND SLOWED DOWN SO THEY WOULD NOT HIT ME.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE WAITING TO TURN LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION FOR A BREAK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES PAUSE FOR 2-3 SECONDS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THIS LEAVES ME VULNERABLE TO AN ACCIDENT WHEN IT FINALLY KICKS IN AND STARTS MOVING. WHEN HAVING TO JUDGE AND MAKE CRUCIAL DECISIONS WHILE DRIVING IS COMPLICATED BY A CAR THAT DOESN'T MOVE WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO I TRULY FEEL IT'S LITERALLY 'AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.' I ALSO DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVERY TIME, SO I HAVE NO WAY TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO MY DECISION MAKING WHILE DRIVING. NEITHER I WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR DO I WANT TO PUT SOMEONE ELSE AT RISK.

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA WITH ONLY 38,500 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT AT 31,000 MILES. ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND RECENTLY TAKEN A TRIP TO VIRGINIA.WE WERE LEAVING THE LAST DAY AND WE CAME UP TO THE FIRST LIGHT AWAY FROM THE PLACE WE WERE STAYING AT. AS I CAME UP TO THE LIGHT MY CAR HAD JERKED REALLY HARD SLOWING DOWN AND THE RPMS WENT WAY UP. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THAT WAS WEIRD AS IT HAS DONE THAT BEFORE ON MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND NOTHING HAD HAPPENED FOR A SOLID 10 SECONDS IT WOULD ONLY REV UP TO 2 AND WOULDN'T GO PAST 10 MILES PER HOUR. AS THIS LIGHT WAS FAST AND IT WAS TURNING YELLOW AS SOON AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH IT THE PEOPLE WERE HONKING BEHIND ME AS MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I PULLED OVER AND CUT MY CAR OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES. I STARTED OUT AGAIN AND IT HAD A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AND I PULLED OVER AGAIN. AT THIS POINT NO LIGHTS CAME ON OR ANYTHING. I THOUGHT MY CAR JUST LEFT US STRANDED IN VIRGINIA. I TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND STARTED OUT AND IT WAS DRIVING NORMAL. I FIND THIS UNSAFE BECAUSE CARS AT THE LIGHT COULD HAVE STARTED TO COME THROUGH MY MY CAR IS JUST TEETERING ALONG THROUGH THE FAST LIGHT

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON A HIGHWAY. IT ONLY HAS 30K ON IT. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN 2 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. JULY 21, 2019, IT WAS TOWED AGAIN WHILE I WAS ON THE LONG TRIP. OVERALL, IT HAPPENED 10 TIMES. CAR FALLS ON ITS FACE. YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HADS TO TOW IT 2 TIMES ALREADY. THE OTHER TIMES I HAD TO WAIT 30 MIN OR SO. WHEN ON HIGHWAY YOU GO 65, IT DROPS TO 40, THEN 20; IT SPUTTERS AND THEN YOU HAVE TO STOP. MY NISSAN ALTIMA WAS MOVING WHEN THE ACCELERATION GAVE UP NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOU PUSH THE PEDAL. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. I WAS IN LOGANDALE NEVADA. TURNED THE CAR OFF. THEN WAITED. AFTER 15 MIN, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT BARELY AT 20 MIN PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY 15 COMING FROM LAS VEGAS TO MOAPA PAIUTE TRAVEL PLAZA GAS STATION. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS BECAUSE OTHER CARD=S DO NOT KJNOW THAT YOU HAVE ACCELERATION FAILURE AND THEY DRIVE BEHIND YOU AT 60-70 MILES PER HOUR AND IT CAN BE VERY SCARY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS THE ACCELERATION DOES NOT WORK AND CAR GOERS EVENTUALLY TO 0 MILES PER HOUR NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
