IN 2015 THE A/C COMPRESSOR WHEN OUT AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THEN 21/2 YEARS LATER THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AGAIN AND NISSAN REFUSED TO REPAIR. TWO COMPRESSORS IN 5 YEARS AND THEY DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS A ISSUE. I END UP PAYING 1200 DOLLARS TO REPLACE AFTER 2/12 YEARS.

DIM LOW BEAM (PROJECTOR LENS) BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN JULY OF 2013. THE LOW BEAMS FUNCTIONED NORMAL FOR THE FIRST THREE YEARS THEN BECAME MORE AND MORE DIM. REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULBS WITH BRIGHTER AFTERMARKET BULBS WHICH SEEMED TO ONLY MARGINALLY HELP. AS TIME WENT BY THE BRIGHTNESS STILL CONTINUED TO DIMINISH TO THE POINT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN UNLESS KEPT ON HIGH BEAM. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALED LITTLE UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN THE TOPIC ON A CAR FORUM REVEALED THAT THE PROJECTOR LENS COATING WAS DEFECTIVE AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN WHICH THEY DENY. REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES MYSELF WITH AN AFTERMARKET BRAND AND LOW BEAM BRIGHTNESS HAS RETURNED. THE LOW BEAM ISSUE IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY NISSAN AND ADDRESSED ACCORDINGLY.

MY "VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED TO REPROGRAM FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU). " I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF, BUT NOW I'M STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE OCS. CURRENTLY, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, INDICATING THAT IT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS LIT UP. THIS INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG WAS OFF, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS SITTING IN IT. AFTER TAKING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED A NEW OCS CONTROL UNIT AS WELL AS TWO OCS SENSORS. I INFORMED THEM OF THE PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE OCS; HOWEVER, THEY SAID THIS WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE, SO I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AROUND $700. NISSAN ORIGINALLY SAID IN A LETTER THAT, "IF AT ANY TIME WITHIN THE NEXT 15 YEARS, THE OCS SYSTEM IN YOUR VEHICLE DOES NOT PERFORM AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, WE URGE YOU TO PLEASE SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AT YOUR NEAREST NISSAN DEALER. THE DEALER CAN CHECK THE OCS SYSTEM IN YOUR VEHICLE AND, IF NEEDED, PERFORM A ONE-TIME RETROFIT TO THE OCS SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE. " SINCE THE OCS IS STILL HAVING ISSUES AFTER THE ORIGINAL RECALL, I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPERATIVE TO REPORT THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAGS MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF I WERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT, WHICH COULD CAUSE UNNECESSARY INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH. CLEARLY THERE ARE STILL UNRESOLVED ISSUES WITH THE OCS THAT NEED ATTENTION.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA MOONROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 75MPH. THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND AIR WAS HEARD ON ROOF. SAW FLYING DEBRIS FROM REARVIEW MIRROR WHILE TRYING TO PULL OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. PULLED OVER AND REALIZED LARGE CHUNKS OF THE TEMPERED GLASS WAS GONE. THERE WERE MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE TRUNK PAINT FROM THE DEBRIS HITTING IT AS IT FLEW OFF. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AROUND AND NO OVERPASSES. TEMPERATURES WEREN'T EXTREME AS IT WAS A MILDLY WARM FALL DAY (MID 60'S) AND ROADS WERE DRY. THE GLASS IS STICKING OUT ABOVE THE ROOF WHICH INDICATES THAT IT WAS AN EXPLOSION RATHER THAN SOMETHING CRASHING DOWN ON THE MOONROOF.

THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKING FINE AS WE WERE RUNNING ERRANDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. THE CAR ALSO BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN STALL. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN MINUTES. THE CAR WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET CREATING AN UNSAFE POSITION. WE TOOK THE CAR TO AUTOZONE AFTER IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR AGAIN AND THEY PULLED A DIAGNOSTIC CODE OF P0776. THE CODE IS TRANSMISSION RELATED. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS THAT NIGHT.

WHILE BACKING MY CAR OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, I HEARD A POP AND REAR OF THE CAR DROPPED. I GOT OUT AND SAW THE LEFT REAR OF THE CAR WAS LOWER, TOP OF TIRE NOT VISIBLE. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW (SEPT. 12, 2012) WAS ONLY 3 MILES AWAY ON SECONDARY ROADS, SO I TOOK MY CAR THERE TO BE LOOKED AT. THE DEALER CALLED ME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THE LEFT REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD BROKEN AND RIGHT REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS CRACKING IN THE SAME PLACE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND SERVICE MANAGER BOTH SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE ON A SIX YEAR OLD CAR.*DT CONSUMER STATED FAILURE OF SUSPENSION ON BOTH REAR PASSENGER SIDE.

MY WIFE'S ALTIMA TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE HAS WENT INTO LIMP MODE SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. SHE WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING DROP SPEED FROM ENGAGING LIMP MODE. VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 70K MILES AND THE DEALER STATES THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY DID NOT EXTEND THE CVT WARRANTY LIKE THEY HAD ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS. NOW WE HAVE A VEHICLE THAT NEEDS A 4,000 TRANSMISSION AND HARDLY ANY MILEAGE THAT WOULD WARRANT A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELLING ON A LOCAL ARTERY ROAD (40 MPH SPEED LIMIT), THE CAR EXPERIENCED RAPID JERKING OR SHUDDERING (FORWARD AND BACKWARD MOTION) DURING GEAR CHANGES. AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED SO I SHIFTED THE GEAR SHIFT FROM DRIVE INTO PARK AND RE-STARTED THE CAR. AS SOON AS I SHIFTED THE GEAR SHIFT FROM PARK INTO DRIVE, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STALLED AGAIN. SO I SHIFTED BACK INTO PARK AND RE-STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THEN THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AS SOON AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. SO I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THEN I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO DRIVE FROM NEUTRAL. AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN, I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THEY (THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP) SEEM UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE SO NO REPAIRS ARE RECOMMENDED. UPON INVESTIGATING THIS FURTHER (INTERNET SEARCHES), THERE APPEARS TO BE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME SYMPTOMS ON CARS WITH JATCO CVT TRANSMISSIONS. NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUES BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTERS AND OR DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS FAIL TO IDENTIFY ANY ERROR CODES, WHICH SUGGEST THAT NISSAN MAY HAVE TAMPERED WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE ISSUES. I SAY THIS BECAUSE NISSAN HAS YEARS OF DOCUMENTED CVT DEFECTS IN THEIR RECENT PAST. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS CONSUMERS ARE LEFT WITH UNSAFE VEHICLES THAT ARE SIMPLY BEING TRADED IN AND RESOLD TO OTHER UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS, ALL BECAUSE NISSAN IS GETTING AWAY WITH NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS.

MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE A HAZARD TO MY NIGHT DRIVING, THEY ARE EXTREMELY DIM. AND THROUGH MONTHS HAVE WORSENED TO WHERE IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP, AND THEY AGREE THAT THE ENTIRE HEAD LAMP SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, WHO CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP, THEY AGREED, AND STATED THEY WOULD PAY 70 %, SO MY ISSUE IS , IF THEY ARE WILLING AND AGREE TO PAY 70%, THIS IS A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION, AND THIS SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY, THERE SHOULD BE A TOTAL RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, AND FULL PAYMENT FOR THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS ISSUE, AND TAKE CARE OF THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE. I AM WAITING FOR A REPLY, FROM YOU AND MY DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS TURNING RIGHT TO PARK MY 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA AND I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR TO STOP AND THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED OVER THE CONCRETE CURB STOP. IT CONTINUED TO RUN UPSLOPE TO THE BUSHES AND OVER THREE BIG ROCKS WHILE I WAS TRYING TO AVOID HITTING THE FENCE IN THE FRONT AND BRAKING IT. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE FORWARD AND I KEPT TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID A FENCE. THE CAR RAN OVER THE CURB STOP OF ANOTHER PARKING SPACE ABOUT FIVE SPACES ON THE RIGHT. THE BOLT IN THE CONCRETE STOP PUNCTURED MY OIL PAN AND THE ROCKS RIBBED OFF THE PLASTIC SHIELDS UNDERNEATH. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUMPING THE BRAKE AND WIND UP IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I CHECKED MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. MY CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 43000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS HAPPENED AT THE PARKING LOT OF BERTELSON MEMORIAL PARK IN EL DORADO HILLS IN CALIFORNIA. WE BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR WHILE I WAS TURNING RIGHT AND BRAKING AND TRIED TO PARK. ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE EXPERT, AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER WHO HAS STUDIED SUDDEN ACCELERATION IN CARS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, STATED THAT "IF YOU'RE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, YOU HAVE A LOT OF STRESS ON THE FRONT DRIVE SYSTEM, SINCE EVERYTHING IS BASED ON RUNNING THROUGH THE COMPUTER, INCLUDING SENSORS ON YOUR DRIVE SYSTEMS, ANY ONE OF THOSE COULD CARRY ONTO THE SYSTEM, CARRY ON TO THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER AND ATTACK IT." WE FELT VERY UNFAIR TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

MY LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, AND A HAZARD TO NIGHT DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP. ALONG WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY AGREED TO PAY 70% TO REPLACE THE HEAD LAMP SYSTEM, BUT I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND IF THEY AGREED TO PAY 70%, THEN THEY FEEL IT IS NOT A CONSUMER ISSUE, IT IS A VEHICLE/MANUFACTURE ISSUE, AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD REPLACE THIS FOR ME AT THEIR COST, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE WILLING TOMPAYN70%, THEY KNOW IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE , THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL ISSUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING THIS ISSUE, AND COMPLIANCE WITH THIS HAZARDOUS SITUATION. IT HAS JUST BEEN GETTING WORSE AND WORSE, SO I FINALLY HAD TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP DAYTONA NISSAN/ .DAYTONA AUTO MALL/ DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MR.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY GEAR SHIFTER REMAINS IN A STUCK POSITION. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET. I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO ANOTHER GEAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE GOTTEN STUCK WITH MY TODDLER IN THE CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE TO A SAFER LOCATION. IT TOOK ME AT LEAST 15 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO GEAR. I WAS TERRIFIED! I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR IN ITS LOCATION AND TAKE A LYFT HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER. THE NEXT DAY MY LOCAL MECHANIC CAME TO CHECK THE CAR. HE SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2013 NISSAN ALTIMAS. HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO HIS SHOP TO INVESTIGATE WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THIS FAILURE OR I SHOULD CALL UP NISSAN BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE BEEN NOTICING THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAR HAVE BEEN VERY DIM RECENTLY. I REALLY DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL MY WIFE KEPT SAYING THAT SHE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT'S TOO DARK ON THE ROAD. I DID NOTICE THAT I WAS USING MY HIGHBEAMS MORE OFTEN. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE MY BULB AND THEY DO GO DIM. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD THE ISSUE WAS NOT WITH THE BULB BUT IT LOOKED LIKE THE LENS WAS CLOUDY. THEY GAVE ME A PRICE OF $1100 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. AFTER READING ALL THESE INTERNET COMPLAINTS I AM NOW BELIEVING THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT IT BUT DIDN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT AND PRETENDED THAT IT WAS AN ABNORMAL EVENT. CAN'T TRUST THE DEALERS CONSUMER NEEDS TO STAND UP AND NOT GET SCREWED BY CAR MANUFACTURERS. $1100 IS A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND JUST TO CHANGE THE BULBS BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE NOT MADE TO LAST OR MELT AWAY THE LENS. THIS IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE BUT A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONSUMER SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE BULB WITHOUT CHANGING THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY FOR MAINTENANCE REPAIR. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER, THEY CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE MY CAR WAS OVER THE WARRANTY. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN NOR DOES NISSAN CARE. I THINK THE BEST THING IS TO SUE THEM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. IN THE MEANTIME I'M DRIVING MY CAR WITH DIM LIGHTS.
