2014 NISSAN Altima

The transmission is thumping around 40-45 mph. Nissan techs say it is a transmission failure

Well the right rear control arm snapped. Second time. Last time in 2021 it was the left. Why is this not a recall

I can’t see a thing driving at night. I was relieved to get a notice of headlamp recall in the mail because my lights are so dim but Nissan says I’m not part of the recall based on my vin.. this is extremely dangerous especially if there is a hint of water on the ground it makes it so that you can’t see any of the lines in the road, oftentimes I drive with my brights on but if it’s snowing there’s no chance in heck I’m able to see anything. Basically have to be cool with dying if I want to drive at night because every drive feels veryyy risky if the sun isn’t out.

They have failed to honor the headlight recall. Lights are too dim too drive at night but nissan said they are ok according to specifications.

My wife and I started to notice the dimness over a year ago, but it became more apparent when we drove through some back country with winding roads for a weekend getaway with the family. It was stressful, scary at times and obviously a hazard. I pretty much had to keep my high beams on for the whole stretch of the dark roads especially on sharp and blind turns. Since that experience, we try to steer clear of taking trips in the evening… but even now on regular routine drives on freeways or even pulling up to my court the dim beams are more obvious than ever.
I went to get my oil change service done today, and mentioned my issue with the headlights and inquired about replacements. They suggested running a diagnostic to identify the source but it would cost $375 or something just to do that… I mentioned that they recently did a diagnostic (that I paid for when they were trying to figure out another concern I had with the brake light going and no issues were found, just needed to top off the brake fluid) so I passed on it… I then inquired about replacements and was told they would be about $400 to replace both sides. From that point I googled cost to compare and came across articles, forums that brought to light that I wasn’t alone with my concern and issue with the headlights. And some comments mentioned replacements such as HID or LED didn’t do much to help the dim beam. I am not sure now if I want to spend the money to replace or keep googling on ways to help fix the problem in a more cost effective way. Hopefully there is a recall because the dim low beam is a hazard that fixing will save lives and make it less stressful at night to drive… especially when carrying special cargo.

Headlight on my 2014 Altima are so dim that they are a safety hazard. I have barely missed pedestrians several times around our college campus. Extreme safety hazard!!!! So bad.

Dim low beam headlights

My low beam headlights on my Nissan Altima are barely visible at night when driving.

low beams on headlight are very dim need to use high beams at night this is dangerous and is too expensive for me to replace headlights I have always had nissans and this was never a problem I find that it is only a problem in car made form 2013 so I think Nissan should have a recall on this problem

The headlights are barely visible on low beam at night and the new bulbs will not fix the problem. I spoke with someone at nissan dealership and they know this is common problem but they are not doing anything to fix it. This is a very real safety issue for the dirver , as it is impossible to drive at night

Please see e-mail below to describe issues, sent to Nissan Consumer Care yesterday.

Hi there, I am having issues with my 2014 Nissan Altima transmission and am not receiving help from my dealership. See my timeline of issues below:

November 2016: Transmission dies on me (around 50k miles) as my car is driving, I get it towed to Midway Nissan in Phoenix, and they end up replacing the transmission. On the way home from the dealership, I can already tell the new transmission is not running smoothly- however I give it a few days to see if it\'ll calm down. I then call back and explain my issues, and the response I get is \"Well all the settings are programmed automatically, so there\'s really nothing we could do for you, it was installed properly\".

Car continues to have symptoms of:
1) Revving up to high RPMs, even on side streets and going 10 MPH.
2) The car constantly feels like it\'s always \'pushing and pulling\' the engine- I will be braking at a red light, and the engine is still revved up and wanting to go. It will brake properly, but I can feel a \"push and pull\" like it doesn\'t want to
3) There have been a few times that I will be driving and the RPM\'s will shoot up to 4-5K on it\'s own (this happens ALL the time while accelerating – however these times, it\'ll happen when I am just cruising on side streets). When this happens I will take my foot completely off the gas, and it will still stay up at 4-5 RPMs for another few seconds. It will then go down on its own.
4) After the first 3 years of driving the car, the MPG average was around 32-33 mpg. After getting the transmission replaced, it\'s consistently been at 26mpg (Another sign the car is over-working itself)
5) There have been a couple instances where the car will not accelerate after waiting at a red light – it eventually will after maybe 3-5 seconds. It seems to stall for a moment

The main issue is that the car is over-working itself, shooting up at high RPM\'s, and feels so jerky and unnatural – as if it is going to break at any moment. This happens on every single drive I make.

I get a call earlier this month that there is a recall on the Transmission settings – so I took it into AutoNation Nissan Tempe on 10/14/17. They performed the recall, and my car was working great for the next day or two. However, the car slowly began performing like it used to – and is now completely back to how it was running prior.

So I called and told them right away, again. And I brought it in today, 10/23/17 to AutoNation Nissan Tempe. They told me they took my car for a test drive and everything was performing perfectly, and they could not see the symptoms I have described. So I will be picking up my car later today, only to have the same issues.

I\'ve had a good transmission in my Altima for 3 years prior to the first issue- and I know what my car should feel like. It hasn\'t felt like that since November 2016 before it originally broke down. These issues have me honestly concerned for my safety- if my transmission decides to die in the middle of an intersection on a left turn. At this point, I am writing you because I am unsure what to do next if my dealership won\'t help me. I just paid this car off, and at 65k miles, it should not be having issues like this. I can attach multiple articles and complaints about the same issues in the same 2014 Nissan Altima\'s that I am driving. But I would hope that you guys at nissanusa.com will be familiar with this common CVT transmission issue that Nissans are experiencing, and would be able to advise me on what my next step should be to get this issue corrected, thank you.

I purchased my 2014 Nissan Altima brand new wig 20 miles on it and purchased the Nissan extended warranty. Fast forward to 61,000 miles and the cvt transmission completely failed on me. The Nissan dealership bait and switched my Nissan extended warranties for a third party warranty. It has taken almost 2 months to get the transmission replaced. New transmission is in and it still shudders.

I came across the class action lawsuit of Batista, et al. v. Nissan while searching for information on counsel who I could speak to regarding another possible class action lawsuit against Nissan. I have a 2014 Nissan Altima that is nearing the end of the powertrain warranty; I took my car in last week for vehicle recalls and explained to them the problems that I have been experiencing with what I believe to be the CVT transmission. I explained how the car will shudder between 10-25 mph spontaneously and that there was no surefire way to know what was causing it or when it would happen; I explained that there have been a handful of occasions where I am at a stop and press on the gas pedal to drive and the car barely moves which has almost caused an accident on at least two separate occasions – another incident that happens spontaneously; and lastly, I explained how the rpm\'s will rev and the transmission would stick.

The first day that Nissan had my car, they said it acted up, but they couldn\'t get it to do it again and no codes came back to reveal the problem. After day 2, they said there was nothing more they could do regarding the issues I complained about. When I went to pick up my car, the service manager Jeff Thibodeaux said he believes it is my transmission and wanted to replace it,but he couldn\'t because there is no code coming back to show the problem and they couldn\'t get the car to act up again. I explained my concerns about driving this car, the safety of my children and how the warranty was about to expire in less than 500 miles; he said they have it documented in the system and if something happens after the warranty expires, they would \"go to bat\" for me. This isn\'t good enough in my opinion and clearly appears to be an issue with Nissan and the CVT transmissions.

After picking up my car that day, I went a step further and filed a complaint with the consumer affairs department at Nissan (last Friday). Today, I received a call from Amanda, the case manager for our region (Case number 27815853). I have that phone call recorded. She was anything but helpful; indicated that unless the part fails, there is nothing that they can or will do. When my fiance got on the phone and expressed his concern for our safety in driving the car, he proceeded to tell her he was documenting this call and recording it, and Amanda freaked out advising us to stop recording now or she would terminate the call. We did not stop recording as it is our right to do so in the State of Ohio as long as we are part of the conversation, not to mention they state that the call may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance. After she hung up on us, we tried to call back and now we cannot reach anyone. In my search for answers, I saw over 752 complaints of other Nissan Altima owners complaining of the same exact problems with the car and results in dealing with Nissan.

I purchased a 2014 Nissan Altima in August of 2016 and now less than a year later my CVT transmission is going out. I contacted the Nissan Dealership and they told me that they only extend their warranty for 60,000 miles and my car had 64,000 at the time. I just do not understand how Nissan can have all these complaints about their CVT transmission and they are not being held responsible for their faulty transmissions.

My car stopped working while driving, took it in to get fixed; they reprogrammed the cvt and it\'s worse than when I took it in. The gas and gears do not respond and whats worse it Nissan didnt say anything to me when i took it in about the recall. That is dangerous and absurd!

CVT Transmission completely failed at 74,000 miles. No performance problems, no engine warning lights, no trouble codes in diagnosis. Cost to replace $4,650.

CVT TRANSMISSION. I was at the intersection of Page Ave and Seven Up Drive in Overland, MO, and my car stopped. I started the car back up and park the car in drive and it rolled backwards. I put the car back in park, put on my hazard lights, and called roadside service. My daughter (7yrs) and I were terrified. Cars were a few 100 feet from hitting us. I was constantly waving cars to go around my car. The Overland Police finally arrived (1 hour later) and pushed my car to a safer location so it could be towed. My car was later towed to the Nissan dealer where it was diagnosed. The diagnosis was that my CVT (transmission) needed to be replaced.

Transmission slippage this is the second time in two years on a 2014 bought brand new

I recently purchased a 2014 Nissan Altima from Basic Auto Sales in June 2015. When I purchased the Altima it had 48,000 miles on it. The transmission went out on the Altima at 70,000. The cost to repair the Altima is $3800.00.

There seems to be an issue with the CVT Transmissions being installed in the Nissan products. After doing research on the NHTSA website and reviewing the complaints regarding this issue, this has been a common issue with vehicles. Nissan extended the warranty for vehicles with this type of transmission up to 2013 models for 100,000 miles. There is currently a class action lawsuit for the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and the CVT Transmission Issues, the same transmission that is in the Altima.

My issue is this: This is a significant safety issue. As I was terrified when the transmission went out on my vehicle, Sat, Oct 10th. I was driving down the road and suddenly the vehicle decelerated to 35 mph from 55 mph in seconds. Fortunately, no one was close behind me otherwise I would have been rear-end and I was able to steer off to the side of the road to get out of the way.

Why would Nissan continuously put a transmission in a vehicle that they know has issues. Why would they not extend the warranty out as they did for other models to 100,000 miles.

There should be no way a transmission should fail on a car that is a year old and has less than 100,000 miles on it. I have contacted Nissan North America and I have had no resolution as of this moment. I have contacted the dealership and was told that there was nothing that they can do to help me since the factory warranty expired at 60,000 miles and an extended warranty was not purchased. I honestly do not remember being offered the option to purchase an extended warranty but I cannot say for certain.

So here I am stuck with a car that does not work, a car loan that I have only made four payments on. I am a single mother with 3 kids in college, there is absolutely no way I can afford to pay $3800 for an new transmission on an issue that is known. I am struggling to get to work. I have filed a complaint with the NHTSA about this issue along with others. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and opened a case with Nissan North America. Meanwhile, I am out of a car and still responsible for making payments on a car that is not drivable.

I mean I could understand if the car I purchased was older and had more than 100,000 miles on it. That is the risk that I would take but in the same token I would have made sure that I was offered or purchased an extended warranty on the vehicle to ensure that any major problems would be covered.

To have the transmission go out in a car that is a year old and lower mileage is absolutely absurd.

Then to find out that there are other people that are having the same issue and have reported it to the NHTSA. There are 28 total complaints regarding the powertrain issues (specifically for the Nissan Altima 2014) filed with the NHTSA and 48 for the Nissan Pathfinder . Can you only imagine how many other people have not filed a complaint that have the same issue or do not even know to file one with the NHTSA.

i have problems with the nissan since buying the car with the brakes,airbag and the transmission which is damage with less than one year and not what not wnat to change

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was previously repaired according to nhtsa campaign number: 14v138000 (air bags, electrical system). the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

When going up or down drive way wheel makes pooping sound car also sway back in forth on freeway. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while his wife was driving 20 mph, she started losing control of the vehicle as the rear passenger’s side tire started wobbling. as the vehicle continued to wobble, his wife pulled into a parking lot and discovered that the lower passenger’s side control arm had fractured and detached from the vehicle. due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to his residence. the contact then called hoselton nissan (66 marsh rd, east rochester, ny 14445, (585) 385-3560) and was referred to the manufacturer for assistance. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the contact was referred to the dealer for the vehicle to be inspected. the contact declined. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 147,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced random issues while attempting to accelerate from a stop. the vehicle would fail to exceed 2 mph with the accelerator pedal depressed to the floor. the vehicle shuddered with an abnormal sound. the vehicle was turned off and restarted for the computer to reboot. the contact received a letter from the manufacturer citing a known issue with the cvt transmission. the manufacturer extended the warranty coverage to 7 years or 84,000 miles. o'neil nissan (849 street rd, warminster, pa 189740) was made aware of the failure however, there was no dtc codes retrieved. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to take it to another dealer for a second opinion. a field technician was sent to diagnose the failure however, the field technician had not shown up to diagnose the vehicle. montgomeryville nissan (991 bethlehem pike, montgomeryville, pa 18936) was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that no failure codes were retrieved. both dealers informed the contact that other nissan vehicle owners had reported the same issues however, the manufacturer had no remedy for the repair since the failure could not be replicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 63,665.

The drivers side rear lower control arm separated from the rear subframe while driving the vehicle at ~50 mph. the failure at ~50mph could easily result in loss of control of the vehicle since the rear wheel is no longer fully connected to the vehicle. the stress of one control arm failing could result in the other failing at the same time if the corrosion progresses evenly on both sides. the 2013 model altima is covered under a service bulletin to have the lower control arms replaced at no cost due to the risk of failure. the same failure obviously occurs on the 2014 models but is not covered under the current service bulletin. the failure is caused by corrosion at the connection to the rear subframe.

My nissan is a 2014 and only had 59,000 miles on it. my transmission is completely shot and this is unheard of. it’s a cvt made from nissan and they are very aware of this situation so now i am out $2600-$4100 because nissan has decided it does not want to do the right thing and create a recall.

While driving my car yesterday, the lower control arm snapped. luckily i was just about to get on the freeway when it happened. i was coming up the ramp to get to the free way which was a curve and i heard a noise and briefly lost control of my vehicle until i stopped. i am sure rust contributed to it but my mechanic was he’d never seen it happen like that.

Tl* the contact owned a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while starting up the vehicle, the contact noticed smoke coming the engine compartment shortly afterwards fire was coming out of front hood. the fire marshals were called, the fire was extinguished and a report was filed. the vehicle was towed to local police tow lot where it was diagnosed with being destroyed. the manufacturer was not informed of failure. the failure mileage was not available.

Reference nhtsa recall number 20v-315. this was posted on may 20, 2020 and the status is still showing recall incomplete, remedy not yet available. i believe that after 11 months something should have been communicated with the owners.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph, the lower control arm fractured. the traction control warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to an tow lot. the contact called west herr nissan of orchard park (3580 southwestern blvd, orchard park, ny 14127, (716) 954-8992) however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 114,000.

The rear lower control arm snapped at the poc bushing while driving around 20mph.

The right rear lower link of my 2014 altima completely failed due to rust, likely caused by road salt. i was driving about 35 mph on a straight section of a state road when this occurred and partially lost steering control. had i been traveling at higher speeds, i likely would have lost control and crashed, injuring me and my son. nissan has a service campaign for this safety issue but it only applies to 2013 models. nissan would not cover the repair after pleading my case and had no rational explanation for why not.

Vehicle is difficult to keep in the lane i'm driving in feels like i'm about to be blown off the road i've replaced the tie rods the hubs the tires had multiple alignments but feels like the suspension has failed some where or the steering failed something is there is vibration in the wheel feels like its slipping or hesitation there's a its to the point i'm getting scared to drive it almost like the frame is separated or separating somewhere doesn't feel safe to drive feels unstable at low and high speeds it almost to the point i wanna jist junk the damn thing cause no matter what i have done or do to it myself it never gets better

The vehicle was involved in a hit and run and airbags did not deploy.*dt

The lights are dangerously dim. they do not light up the road at all causing a major safety issue. this endangers the driver, passengers, other vehicles and pedestrians. please issue a recall.

This is a known problem with 2013-2015 altimas. the headlamp projector bowls deteriorate and do not project the light causing a major safety issue because you cannot see the road ahead. nissan is doing nothing about it. i have had to replace the expensive bulbs twice with brighter bulbs and this did not rectify the problem. there should be a recall!!!!!

After making a right turn at approximately 10mph, the car felt like the car lost alignment and required a significant rightward turn of the steering wheel (between 1 and 2 o'clock) to maintain position in the lane. additionally, amber abs, traction control, and stability control warning messages appeared on the dashboard. as i was less than a mile from home, i proceeded there on side streets, keeping speed below 20 mph. i parked on the street, and found the left rear wheel tilted noticeably inward and with less clearance in the wheel arch. looking under the car, i saw the lower control arm broken at the pivot point where it connects to the chassis.

Rear lower control arm rusted and broken while in motion. loss of steering as well as driveability beyond 10mph

When driving at night the low beams do not light up the area enough to see. this is a huge safety concern.

My wife and i started to notice the dimness over a year ago, but it became more apparent when we drove through some back country with winding roads for a weekend getaway with the family. it was stressful, scary at times and obviously a hazard. i pretty much had to keep my high beams on for the whole stretch of the dark roads especially on sharp and blind turns. since that experience, we try to steer clear of taking trips in the evening... but even now on regular routine drives on freeways or even pulling up to my court the dim beams are more obvious than ever. i went to get my oil change service done today, and mentioned my issue with the headlights and inquired about replacements. they suggested running a diagnostic to identify the source but it would cost $375 or something just to do that... i mentioned that they recently did a diagnostic (that i paid for when they were trying to figure out another concern i had with the brake light going and no issues were found, just needed to top off the brake fluid) so i passed on it... i then inquired about replacements and was told they would be about $400 to replace both sides. from that point i googled cost to compare and came across articles, forums that brought to light that i wasn’t alone with my concern and issue with the headlights. and some comments mentioned replacements such as hid or led didn’t do much to help the dim beam. i am not sure now if i want to spend the money to replace or keep googling on ways to help fix the problem in a more cost effective way. hopefully there is a recall because the dim low beam is a hazard that fixing will save lives and make it less stressful at night to drive... especially when carrying special cargo.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving 20 mph, she became aware that the air bag warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to crown nissan of greensboro (3900 w wendover ave, greensboro, nc 27407) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the air bag unit needed to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer had been informed of the failure, and informed the contact that the failure was not covered under warranty. the failure mileage was approximately 49,270.

The hood flew open while traveling on a state numbered route approximately 35-40 mph. we were blessed that it didn't cause a wreck with injuries. this is common from what i have discovered, yet no remedy. i hate this fact because it seems as though the manufacturer is simply waiting for all who own this vehicle to phase out, sell, and move on. we will do this, trade towards another make forever. no nissans no more never. thanks for nothing nissan.

In the evening of february 2nd 2021. my daughter was driving home on county road 12 (at a speed of around 50mph) near long lake, mn. she hear a loud sound and the car became more difficult to drive. thankfully there was an exit that she could take and she stopped the car as soon as this was safe to do. the next day we had the car picked up by aaa and taken to the nissan dealer (walser in wayzata, mn). they diagnosed that one of the rear control arms had corroded and collapsed, while the other side control arm was corroded and near collapse. both were replaced at a cost of over $1,700. i checked the internet and noticed that this issue was subject of a recall for cars up to model year 2013 (in the us) and up to 2014 in canada), recall reference p9324 and that with effect from model year 2018, the manufacturer had changed the construction of the control arms and that this was significant improvement. reported to nissan, case report # 430 217 02, who were not helpful. uploading dealer invoice and several images of the affected parts.

The right passenger control arm completely corroded and broke completely separating from wheel

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the rpm decreased. additionally, while driving the vehicle was shaking and shut-off with several unknown warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was restarted and operated as designed. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was towed to fontana nissan (16444 s. highland ave, fontana, ca 92336, (909) 574-2288) who diagnosed the vehicle and confirmed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehcile was not repaired due to having a salvage title. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the dealers were independently owned. the failure mileage was 74,000.

Rear passenger control arm broke at attachment to car body. one half of the weld shows crack and prior corrosion. i was driving on the expressway and noticed handling issues and car sagging on passenger side. i pulled off to a side street and drove local streets the 4 miles to my home. control arm broke in my driveway as i was backing up.

Was backing out driveway, heard noise, stopoed, got out of vehicle, found rear passenger wheel caved in

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving 70 mph, the that rear driver’s side suspension spring and axle were severely rusted, causing the tire to turn inwards while driving. the contact regained control of the vehicle and drove 5 mph to get off the highway and parked at his parent’s residence. the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the failure that the rear axle and spring needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 180,000.

The low beam headlights are poor. nissan install a brand new set of lights and i can't see but 5 feet in front of my car at night. the light illuminated is terrible. the headlight assembly is the problem. they knew it before they took my $130 to replace with lihghts that did me no good. i use high beams mostly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving at approximately 20 mph, the vehicle was shaking and veering to the right. the traction control warning light was illuminated. the contact exited the vehicle and noticed the control arm had deteriorated. the vehicle was towed to mike barney nissan (3676 sheridan dr, amherst, ny 14226, (716) 833-9888) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the control arm was fractured and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

I release the hood latch and nothing happens. i happen to get out of my vehicle. my down and the hood. after several attempts, i'm about to slip my fingers into the grill and release the hood latch. if i down push down on the hood, i would just hear a click and the hood will not go up. the vehicle is stationary.

The regular headlights (not high beams) are so dim that it makes it very difficult to see at night. in low light areas (city streets) i have bumped the curb because i could not see it and when turning in low lit intersections, i am unable to see where the lanes are, making it very difficult to safely turn. i have cleaned the outer part of the headlight and replaced the lights with no improvement.

I recently took my 2014 nissan altima in for new shocks and struts to my local mechanic. when the mechanic completed the work on the shocks and struts he completed an inspection of other parts of the vehicle and found that the passenger side rear control arm was cracked and the drivers side rear control arm was very rusted and corroded, but he could not find a crack. he then advised me that my vehicle was unsafe to drive. he also advised me that he had replaced numerous nissan altima rear control arms before, he was told that nissan had a campaign to replace rear control arms due to them cracking. i then had my vehicle towed to the local nissan dealership. after speaking with the service manager he advised me that only 2013 nissan altimas that are in areas of the country that have salt on the road and 2014 nissan altimas in canada are being fixed by nissan. i have a 2014 nissan altima and live in ohio. nissan should be expanding their campaign to 2014 vehicles that are having the same issue as the 2013's. luckily, i was not driving my vehicle and my mechanic found the crack during an inspection. if he didn't find it, i along with my family or friends could have possibly been injured if the control arm completely cracked in half and caused me to crash. i hope nissan isn't waiting for a fatality to consider a recall. $1300.00 later i am going to pick up my vehicle from the local dealership. class:19-002 ref#: ntb 19-082 id#: p9324

Lower rear control arm on the drivers side separated while driving due to corrosion. i live in wisconsin where salt is used to clear snow. i was driving in a straight line on a freeway.

Lights are extremely dim. a safety hazard that has been named numerous times online. nissan is aware and has done nothing to remedy the poor manufacturing.

While driving at night my dim headlights are so dim its as if they are not even on. it doesnt matter if im driving in the city or country its hard and getting harder to see the highway. ive come close to having an accident several times. only prevention was switching to high beam to be able to see. so if i end up having an accident due to this somebodys going to be served and spend more money than what they could have by preventing it. this is dangerous. how many people have to go through this? how many accidents were caused by this that resulted in death? we dont know bc they are dead!

Lowbeams do not help at night. extremely dangerous. nissan needs to issue a recall for the projector headlights which went bad within 2 years of use.

I was driving my 2014 nissan altima down the highway when the rearward control arm broke from rust and cause me to fishtail almost crashing ... i could have been injured badly!!!

Low beam lights are extremely dangerous. cannot see at all. must use high beam in order to see what is ahead. had lights replaced twice and doesn't correct the issue.

Driving home at 45 mph on a city street, heard a pop, lost control, was able to drive slow with hazards to repair shop.waning lights came on immediately. received notification that control arm snapped and other control arm cracked. google and found safety notice for 2013/2014 for related to states with high road salt. us and canada. us is vague point to only 2013 with canada stating both 13 and 14. expensive repair that should be covered by nissan is very vague to avoid paying these repair cost.. as you can see from the picture, these was defiantly a rust issue caused from road salt. i live in illinois.

Driving home from work yesterday, while driving 65 on the expressway, i experienced an odd “shift” in my car, giving an odd swaying sensation…i thought i may have had a flat tire. since i was close to a gas station, i proceeded roughly a half mile on the shoulder of the road and eventually to the station. upon inspection i found that a portion of the wheel assembly had completely broken from the frame. i have since learned that nissan acknowledges the problem and issued a "service campaign" for 2013 altimas in the us but 2013 and 2014 in canada. their description of how this part fails is exactly what happened to my car and i live in the "salt belt" that they say contributes to this issue. i have called their consumer affairs but was told that they do not recognize this as nissan's responsibility and are not willing to repair what is already broken or replace what will most likely fail on the other side!

Nissan issued recall on the passenger side airbag sensor that disengages the airbag when a grown adult is seated in the passenger seat. my car was recalled and "supposedly" fixed, but two separate incidences have occurred where the passenger airbag light indicating the airbag is off when a person is seated there has occurred. the issue was not resolved fully with nissan's warranty fix and nissan is looking into my car further on how to fix the issue. i have researched the issue and many other instances of this issue occurring after the so called "fix" performed by nissan. link below: http://www.carcomplaints.com/nissan/altima/2014/seat_belts_air_bags/air_bags.shtml this is a consumer safety issue with not having a properly functioning airbag.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled several times without warning. the vehicle was taken to two different mechanics who were unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 84,526.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the air bag on/off indicator illuminated for the passenger seat while driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but they could not diagnose the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 29,630.

Windshield has scratches that make it difficult to see out of, especially at night. took car to dealer to claim under 3-year "bumper-to-bumper" warranty & extended service contract that dealer claimed at time of purchase would cover all problems. dealer claimed this issue is not covered under either warranty. warranties are totally bogus.

Cvt transmission. i was at the intersection of page ave and seven up drive in overland, mo, and my car stopped. i started the car back up and park the car in drive and it rolled backwards. i put the car back in park, put on my hazard lights, and called roadside service. my daughter (7yrs) and i were terrified. cars were a few 100 feet from hitting us. i was constantly waving cars to go around my car. the overland police finally arrived (1 hour later) and pushed my car to a safer location so it could be towed. my car was later towed to the nissan dealer where it was diagnosed. the diagnosis was that my cvt (transmission) needed to be replaced.

Radio/navigation reboots while driving down the road. whole system shuts down--no radio. sometimes when i start the car, the radio buttons are dim/grayed out and the radio doesn't play.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated after the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags). the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact stated that the failure was intermittent. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

Have had 2 factory recalls for pass. side airbag not being activated with pass. in the seat. still having the same problem sometimes. the dealer stated i would be charged if they cannot duplicate the problem. this has been a safety issue for the past 2 years. thank goodness we have not been in a accident that needed the use of the pass. airbag when it was deactivated.

My 2014 nissan altima drivers side airbag light has come on for the fourth time since new. (todays date 09/26/2016) the first two times, nissan reset it and conveniently didn't make a record of it in the repair history while it was in warranty. i took it in a few weeks ago because the light was on again, they said it was a loose connection under the seat caused by a box of kleenex, which i think is not true. last week the light came back on again with nothing under the seat. this time, they said i need a new airbag at a cost of $1100, claiming i never brought it in for the drivers side and that i have to pay for it because my car now has 70k miles on it, never-mind it is only 2 years old. my main concern is that this clear and obvious defect causes a significant risk to the occupants because it prevents any of the airbags from deploying in an accident. i cannot afford to spend over $1000 on a part that should never go bad on a car that is only 2 years old. fyi: the vehicle was in motion when the airbag light came on every time and every time it came on there was nobody in the back seat, nor was the seat being adjusted or was anything interfering with the plug, as nissan tries to claim.

Passengers airbag sensor not picking up when there is a person in the seat not all the time but periodically.

Car was going 34mph at the point of impact, no airbags deployed...this was before the recall of the passenger side airbags: however severe damage done to the drivers side of the car as well and no deployment of any airbag. ...updated 07/11/17 *bf *js

While driving approx 65 mph, was startled by large booming crash from roof of my car. upon pulling over and examining it was apparent that the sunroof had exploded. there was no evidence of a rock or other object hitting the sunroof, and no other automobile had been in close enough proximity to flip up a rock or other object. dealer acknowledged they have had a handful of other people come in with unexplained shattering of sunroofs.

One day i was driving on the freeway when my car started accelerating on its own, then slowing down a lot. at one point i had to pull over on the side of the freeway bc the car just wouldn't accelerate even with the gas pedal all the way to the floor. we stayed there for a bit waiting for a tow truck. the car decided to work again to we sped out of there and made it home. the next day i contacted nissan and told them the situation and they said there was a recall on the transmission and to take it i. to a dealership to the can so a thing they call cvt reprogramming. so i did the next day. the tow truck came and picked it up, took it to the dealership and supposedly they fixed it. so i went to go pick up the car, and at first it was fine, it was jerking just a little but i figured it was because of the reprogramming, the car was still adjusting. then i got to my first stop light and when the light turned green the car would not go anywhere then is started goi g really really slow and then all of a sudden it accelerated so fast it was scary. i made it about 10 mins out when i decided it needed to go back bc it was definitely not fixed. on the way back i almost got in a terrifying accident and almost didn't even make it. i was at a stop sign waiting to go onto a 2 way street with no other stop sighs. the car was doing just fine so i went for it and in the middle of both streets the car slowed down quite aggressively & there were 2 cars headed taped me on full speed from opposite directions. terrifying. eventually i made t back and the guy helping me was so helpful. gave me a rental and everything. the next day he call and says i need a new transmission and it was going to be $3600. so i contacted consumer affairs to see what they can do bc it's not fair that i have to pay for their mistake. and now they won't contact me back and i have no ode whats going on with my car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while at a stop sign, the contact looked both ways. upon accelerating, a truck crashed into the front driver's side of the contact's vehicle. the air bags deployed with extreme force for the front driver and passenger side. the curtain side air bags did not deploy. the driver's left eye was damaged, which affected the cornea, and the driver also sustained bruising across the chest and back pains. the front passenger sustained bruising to the arms, chest, and hips. the driver and front passenger received medical treatment. the insurance company towed the vehicle to a yard. a police report was filed. the vehicle was not inspected to determine the air bag issue. the manufacturer was later notified of the crash. the approximate failure mileage was 46,000.

While driving home last night approx 35 mph my hood flew open and unlatched and impaired my windshield significantly and visibility driving was extremely impacted. as it was late in the evening there was no traffic directly in front or behind me. i was startled to say the least. i was able to safely negotiate to shoulder of road and engage hazard lights and resecure the hood. i was on a city street and moving straight and not turning the vehicle. i would hate to think a far worse outcome in heavy interstate traffic at a higher speed.

My car shut down multiple times while driving it to work. i had to get it towed to nissan and find a way to work. nissan said they reprogrammed the cvt transmission and didnt bother to tell me there was a recall. when i got it back it was worse than when i took it in the first time. it is unprofessional and dangerous for them not to tell me about the recall.

Vehicle is a 2014 nissan altima 4 cylinder motor. it recently had the transmission recall, disguised as a "campaign" performed. it was a software update. since then, the car upshifts while decelerating, causing the engine to stumble & almost stall. it is similar to the torque converter locking up & affecting the drivetrain. if the engine stalled, driver would lose control of the vehicle & might crash the car. the car is in motion when it happens on a road where speeds are about 50 mph, which is about the speed we were driving when it happened. it has happened while driving straight or in mild turns.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the transmission failed to shift gears. as a result, the vehicle began to jerk aggressively. the contact mentioned that she heard an abnormal noise coming from the engine. no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the oil sparkled and the oil was changed but the failure recurred. the vehicle was then taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the inside of the transmission was grinding and would break and that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the contact stated that the manufacturer offered to buy back the vehicle in good faith however, the contact stated that she would need to pay two thousand dollars towards the buy back. the failure mileage was 92,000.

My cvt transmission is having major issues at this time. my vehicle is at 84,000 miles. i was driving home through traffic, once i tried to accelerate the vehicle wouldn't go, then all of a sudden it took off fast. after continuing to drive it started revving very loud until i stopped and cut it off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while operating the vehicle with a front seat passenger, the air bag sensor illuminated indicating that the passenger side air bag was deactivated. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 41,533.

2014 nissan altima s, 74,000 miles. i shifted the car from park to reverse to back out of parking space, the car shuddered and died. i am very fortunate that i wasn't hit by oncoming traffic as the car would not move. i had my daughter steer the car while i pushed it out of the way of traffic. i tried several more times to put the car in gear, it would run for a few seconds and die. there were no previous performance problems and no engine warning lights to indicate a problem. i had the car towed to a nissan dealer. it was diagnosed with "torque converter failure/ need to replace cvt unit/ found no dtc's stored/found not tranny leaks/ printed off tranny "a" and "b" counts just in case" i have read other reports of these altima's completely failing in rush hour traffic because of nissan's defective transmission. my family was lucky. the situation could have ended very badly if this defective car had died in traffic, causing me or an innocent serious harm. now, my family is facing an almost $5000 dollar repair on a three year old car that i don't trust anymore.

Nissan has a recall on the cvt on the 2014 nissan altima, they extended the warranty for some, but not all. i've experienced my vehicle shutting off while driving and very strong jerking, which is very dangerous. i took the vehicle to tischer nissan in laurel and the jerking and shutting stopped after they reset the cvt per the recall. however, it has started again and they're now stating i am responsible for the charges. they know there is an issue with this part, yet they won't be accountable. it is dangerous and very expensive and it should be their responsibility. this is my second complaint and nothing has been done.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated to respond. the vehicle was taken to the local charleston nissan dealer located at 1714 savannah hwy, charleston, sc 29407 where it was diagnosed that the fuel line needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

Car purchased in august 2014 just barely 3 years old the ac compressor went out in the car at the end of july 2017. driving on the the highway no noise the ac started blowing hot air. turned the air off and reached my destination parked the car and turned the air back on started out cool then right back to hot air turned the thermometer down to 60 no change. had to drive back home with the windows down but never heard any strange noises while driving or when parked. took the car to my nissan dealership and based on my description alone the tech said it was the ac compressor and said that they have been having a number of problems with the ac in this model car and quoted me a price of $1300. had another repair tech check and also confirmed the compressor was not working and had to be replaced, this tech outside of nissan said the same thing the nissan tech said about this model vehicle having ac compressor problems. the car is primarily driven to work and home with a few trips within 600 miles round trip.

After taking in my altima 2014 sv for a recall on the airbag sensors, the issue did not go away. the issue is that there is that about half the times a passenger sits next to the driver seat, the airbag system does not detect them. i am having to restart the car for security purposes in case something ends up happening. i am also having an issue with my ac system. i replaced the compressor a year ago and it seems to be failing again. as a senior software engineer i can safely say that there is definitely an issue with their software. i hope they can fix this soon. thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).?*jb

On three separate occasions, the car has lost excelleration power. after coming to a stop, it would not pick up speed while holding the gas pedal to the floor. after a few seconds it picked up speed. making a sound, like the transmission is out of gear. each time it has done this, i have pulled over turned the car off for a few minutes. after restarting it seems to drive fine, until it happens again. happens while driving on city streets.

Transmission is slipping after 52k miles

I have a 2014 nissan altima that is nearing the end of the powertrain warranty; i took my car in last week for vehicle recalls and explained to them the problems that i have been experiencing with what i believe to be the cvt transmission. i explained how the car will shudder between 10-25 mph spontaneously and that there was no surefire way to know what was causing it or when it would happen; i explained that there have been a handful of occasions where i am at a stop and press on the gas pedal to drive and the car barely moves which has almost caused an accident on at least two separate occasions - another incident that happens spontaneously; and lastly, i explained how the rpm's will rev and the transmission would stick. the first day that nissan had my car, they said it acted up, but they couldn't get it to do it again and no codes came back to reveal the problem. after day 2, they said there was nothing more they could do regarding the issues i complained about. when i went to pick up my car, the service manager jeff thibodeaux said he believes it is my transmission and wanted to replace it,but he couldn't because there is no code coming back to show the problem and they couldn't get the car to act up again. i explained my concerns about driving this car, the safety of my children and how the warranty was about to expire in less than 500 miles; he said they have it documented in the system and if something happens after the warranty expires, they would "go to bat" for me. i went a step further and filed a complaint with the consumer affairs department at nissan (last friday). today, i received a call from amanda, the case manager for our region (case number 27815853). she wasn't helpful; indicated that unless the part fails, there is nothing that they can or will do. she terminated the call when i told her i was recording her.

While driving on interstate 75 the vehicle lost the ability to accelerate.. in heavy traffic,i was able to pull to the side of the road,after sitting for about 15 minutes i decided to try again and it started up and i was able to drive off the exit had it check and was told they was not able to identify a problem.. told nissan said at 30,000 miles was not under warranty. this has happened sever time without warning

Had problems shifting car into gear (from reverse to drive) and my vehicle has horrible acceleration. once it was going it would go, but stop to starting was very dangerous and i have an infant! my car has been in the shop for 2 weeks a mechanic and now dealership and i am still not in my vehicle! nissan needs to inform consumers of faulty cvt transmissions.

Tl* the contact owned a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the vehicle was involved in a crash. the contact did not recall the details of the crash. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. the driver sustained neck injuries that required medical attention. the vehicle was towed and destroyed. the vin was invalid. the failure mileage was unknown.

While driving vehicle with my toddler in car, i came to stop light, the car shuttered forward and then shut off. restarted car and when placed in gear, car immediately shut off again. waited for 25 seconds and restarted car to drive home. next day, car continued same behavior more often however it took longer and longer to get the car to remain on and i had to put car in neutral every time i stopped. took car to dealer and the car would not produce any diagnostic codes. the car shut off when the tech attempted to get on the highway on the first test drive. they allowed the car to cool and attempted a second test drive but were unable to get out of the parking lot. the car has approximately 48,900 miles, purchased with brand new in 2014 and i was told that the transmission needs to be replaced.

I purchased this vehicle brand new from the dealership on 12/31/13. this vehicle is 2 years old and has approximately 75,000 miles on it. it has had a minimum of 2 recalls on it since i had it. i would drive the car nearly all day (no more than 50 miles per day) and suddenly once i approached a stop sign at a very busy intersection and was about to cross it, the car engine shut down. i could hear the radio. note: my toddler child was with me. i attempted to start the vehicle several times but as soon as i put it in the drive gear, it would shut off again. i had to sit to the stop sign with traffic approaching for nearly 10 minutes before the car would allow me to start and put it in gear to drive it home. when i took it to the dealership for a diagnostic test, they could not give me a full diagnosis as they stated that the vehicle had to be cooled. i had no way home as i live outside of the dealership's shuttle radius and was offered a rental car but i had to pay for it. i had no choice but to trust that i would make it back home with it. i did make it home but it shut off in the yard. i had it towed a few days later to the dealership for further testing and it was revealed to me that the transmission had to be replaced. i am bothered by this because this is a brand new vehicle with less than 100,000 miles and is 2 years old. also, this could have been a safety hazard for me and my child as it could have shut down in the middle of the intersection in which we were crossing.

Randomly this occurs, when sitting in the front passenger seat the air bag sign for that seat will say off. on our last trip we left a stop and entered the highway but the light stayed on indicating the air bag was not activated. we had to drive like that until we could safely stop. we then turned off the ignition and started the car again, and this time the air bag off light did not stay lit. we have had the vehicle at the dealer 6 times for this problem. because they can not duplicate the problem when the car is there the only thing they say they can do is a zero point reset on ocs system. that has not stopped this issue from reoccurring. we have phoned bergstrom of oshkosh 5 days this week, they do not return our call. the last diagnosis states electrical, however, tony the service advisor told us the last time we were their that they don't want to throw money at the car it could be a sensor, electrical, the air bag system or the seat. because they cannot replicate the problem when we are there they do not know what to fix, so choose to do nothing. the recall on the car was done 5/26/16. however we continue to have this problem. the service advisor has repeatedly said it is because the passenger is not sitting on the seat correctly, however the last time it occurred the passenger was sitting in the same position when the air bag was off as she was when the ignition was turned off and restarted correcting the problem. our warranty will run out soon. we phoned nissan and they will only go by what there auto tech at bergstrom tells them, so no help there either. i have copies of invoices from when the car was taken in for this problem.

My car has approximately 43,000 miles.i'm having a hard time keeping the car in my lane of traffic. the car was pulling hard to the left, requiring me to steer to the right .. car needs to be constantly corrected to stay inside the lane even when driving straigh. if you are in a crosswind or behind a truck, the vehicle drifts horribly too. you must have a good handle on the steering wheel to keep correcting to stay in your lane! i took my car to do an alignment two times and still the same i change tires and rims did not fix the problem there is alot of complains on the internet with the same problem.

There was recall on this vehicle nhtsa recall 16v-244. it was about the ocs. vehicle was taken to crest nissan of frisco 6600 state hwy 121, frisco, tx 75034 on 14 june 2016. according to the invoice given to me by the dealer the ocs unit was reprogrammed. on 9 aug 16 i took the vehicle back to the same dealer because the supplemental air bag warning light remains on continuously. but the customer service agent at crest nissan of frisco told me that there is nothing wrong with it, this light is supposed to stay on unless the passenger seat is occupied by an adult . owner's manual on page 1-57 clearly mentions that " if the supplemental air bag warning light remains on after approximately 7 seconds, under this condition, the front air bag, side air bag and curtain air bag or pretensioner systems may not operate properly". the dealer has not only failed to rectify the problem but also lied to me about this technical and a potentially hazardous problem. it could mean that the front air bag, side air bag, curtain air bag and/or pretensioner systems will not operate in an accident.

First time this happen i was at a light and the car just cut off. started back up put in drive stalls out when in drive. took it to nissan and they told me the next day it's the transmission it needs to be replaced. at this time the car is still under warranty, they kept the car for two weeks telling me they waiting on a approval from nissan to replace the transmission. finally i get a call within that last week the car is ready when i get up to nissan they tell me that the software needed to be updated and that they drove the car to make sure that it didn't stall out again at this time the car had at this time my car has 53,000 miles when all this happened now my 60000 mile warranty is up i have 63,000 miles on the car and it stalled out at me at work. the car starts up fine but as soon as you put it in drive it makes a whining noise and rumbling noise and finally get a cut off also the car when it don't stall it don't go in reverse or don't drive forward.

On 14 march 2017, my transmission gave out without warning while i was traveling about 50 miles on the freeway. i purchased the vehicle used in september of 2015 with about 30, 000 miles on it. from day one, the vehicle would stall at various times but the mechanics stated nothing was wrong and no warming was ever able to be found. the vehicle came to a complete halt throwing me forward. i was able to move it to safety and get it towed to the dealer matt bowers nissan located at 13050 interstate 10 service rd. new orleans, louisiana 70128. the contact number is (504)245-5900. prior to arriving, i learned the vehicle had a recall dealing with the transmission but not specifically with it stalling and going out. according to online and the dealer, nissan recalled whats called a cvt which resets the transmission. every last one of the service men automatically knew the issue when i told them it stooped on the freeway. one gentleman even stated he wouldn't even purchase one for his daughter or his wife. i purchased this vehicle assuming nissan name was still good. there are reports of transmission going out with 10, and 30 thousand miles. my hood also pooped open while on the free and cracked my windshied a few weeks ago. i learned today there is a recall on the hood. the back door came open while my grandkids were in the back. it took about 10 minutes to get the rear door to close. this vehicle needs to be recalled for the transmission. they are no better than toyota by keeping this information from the public. my vehicle has 127512 miles and should not be having transmission issues. i put almost 400 k on my impala and the transmission was still good. please make nissan pay and recall this transmission. often times consumers fail to report issues which cause great harm to others. how many complaints is in your data regarding this? please help me. single mother

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that there was an abnormal noise progressing from the rear brakes, which worsened when the brake pedal was depressed. the contact had to apply force to the brake pedal to ensure that the vehicle came to a complete stop. the dealer completed a multi-point inspection, oil change, resurfaced the rotors, and replaced the rear brake pads. the failure recurred six months later. the vehicle was to be taken back to the dealer for further inspection the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was not available. updated 08/04/17*lj *cn

At slow speeds, there is a whining noise coming from the car. dealer said it is normal as it is a new electric steering pump and not the old belt system. the problem is continuous and has not stopped.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while the vehicle was stopped at a red light, the vehicle stalled without warning and stalled several more times as the contact continued to drive. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 61,000.

Transmission has failed on vehicle at 63000 miles. the car began jerking and stuttering when in motion and also would not respond to gear change when mov8ng out of park. it would just sit for minutes before moving slowly or jumping violently when switching gears.

Received the nhtsa campaign number: 16v244000 update for ocs error on passenger airbag. i had submitted a complaint regarding this after nissan's previous update did not fix the issue. this issue is still not resolved. after 2 months of use i am seeing that when my wife is in the passenger seat the airbag light notifying me that there is no passenger in the passenger seat stays on still. i can 'reset' by turning the vehicle off and restarting it but can not be positive that the vehicle is actually 'seeing' the passenger. this seems to be a very big issue with nissan and would like to have it resolved. i have not talked with them since when i do the answer i've previously gotten is "we've completed the update and don't know why it's not working for you" bring it in and we'll look - to no avail. so i prefer not to let them play around since resetting the computer does nothing.

The car steering wheel pump makes a whining noise which can be heard loud and clear. the noise is so irritating that it can out anyone have a vertigo. yet two nissan dealerships say this is normal, and refuse to accept it. some altimas have the noise asnd some do not. i strongly believe that nissan (the company) and nissan dealerships are colluding and don't want to make this expensive recall. this will may lead to drivers having accidents due to the highly annoying noise

The light indicating a person is in the passenger seat does not operate all the time. the dealer has programed it twice. the dealer is frustrated as they have several other customers with the same problem. the dealer asked me to contact nissan directly which i did. i was told today by a specialists from nissan that i have to bring the vehicle in when it is doing it, i explained it is an intermittent problem and i would be more than happy to leave the vehicle with the dealer. she informed me this was not acceptable that i have to bring it in when it is not operating properly. i guess she could not comprehend the fact that it is an intermittent problem, most likely due to a faulty t passenger side sensor in the seat. the passenger weights is around 120 pounds so she is heavy enough for the sensor to pickup her weight. i am concerned that the air bag might not deploy during an accident. most of the time when the vehicle lights acts up is when we first start out. there is no set pattern to create this problem, might be ok for a week or two then could do it two or three days in a row and maybe go out by it self. this has been happening for several months, maybe close to a year.

I purchased vehicle in 2014 and i have had all required maintenance performed. i'm not at 71k miles and have been experiencing abrupt jerking while driving. nissan has a recall to reprogram the cvt. however, they offered extended warranties to few customers and not all of us. this is an ongoing complaint regarding the cvt and the enormous amount of money consumers have paid...not to mention the inevitable safety risk. something has to be done and nissan should be held responsible. i have an appointment on monday regarding the recall...which they did not inform me about until i called about my car 2 days ago. not to mention another recall for the airbag, that i found out about online. they are not communicating with their customers at all.

During driving the vehicle jerks as if it's going to cut off. it has actually cut off a few times while in traffic. nissan extended the warranty of some of the same vehicle, but not all...even though it's a continuous issue. they should not be able to sale cars that they know have these problems, leaving the consumer responsible for expensive repairs. my vehicle has 71k miles and i upkeep with all maintenance. *tr

The interior door handle of the driver's door abruptly stopped working in the morning while out running errands. i pulled into a parking space and turned off the vehicle then attempted to exit but the door handle would not open the car door. i feared i would be trapped inside the car. i managed to climb over the console and exit through the front passenger door. i have spoken to a service tech at the nissan dealership where i purchased the vehicle and he informed me this has happened to other nissan vehicles as well. he further stated it will cost approximately $1,000 out of my own pocket to repair the handle. this is a product liability issue which clearly presents a serious safety hazard.

Passengers side airbag light is on when someone is in the seat. we have had it to the dealer and they say they can't duplicate the problem. we videoed it and showed it to them and i have called nissan miss [xxx] didn't want to hear it. [xxx] also said it is not under warranty or recall and they i will have to pay. i just checked the web and found other people with the same complaint. i just paid 646.00 to get it fixed and the light is on. the light stays on going down the road highway or city driving. sitting still or moving. oh by the way did i mention my daughters 2015 nissan altima is having the same problem. [xxx] at nissan also blew her off. is there any remedy to this problem. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Visibility has always been bad. cannot see well driving at night. the headlights do not project.

Can not see with low beams on. high beam works fine but can't safely drive with low beam only.

I was driving over railroad tracks all of a sudden i heard a pop and my car started acting weird like i was driving on ice and seemed lopsided. i stopped got out of car and noticed my tire on passenger side was pointed inward and my back end of car was low against tire. something broke under my vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the rear control arm detached from the rear driver side tire without warning. due to the defect, the contact began to lose control of the vehicle as the vehicle swayed from side to side. despite the failure, the contact was able to drive the vehicle home where it remained in her possession. the contact called russ darrow nissan of milwaukee (11212 w metro auto mall, milwaukee, wi 53224) and sent over pictures of the damage where they confirmed that the failure was a defective rear control arm. the contact was then referred to the manufacturer who informed her that the vin was not under recall. the contact was given a case number. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

I was driving at about 35mph, hit a small pothole & the rear control arm on the passenger side snapped. not knowing about the service campaign (that came out in 10/2019- i purchased the car in 02/2020) i took it upon myself to get the part fixed. almost $500 out of my pocket. fast forward 10 months, driving 70 on the highway, didn't hit a pot hole or anything... the drivers side snapped. this is clearly a safety issue as i lost control of my car for a solid 15 seconds. how are only the 2014 altimas in canada eligible for free repairs but a car in ny state is not? i have a case open and will be expecting a call on 02/08. really hoping nissan steps up to assist with repairs as this will amount to almost $1,000 in not even a year..

I was traveling on a major highway on january 25, 2021, when i had no acceleration. despite attempting to accelerate, i had no power. the rpm needle was almost to the red zone. i was able to coast off of this highway, onto another highway. i shut the vehicle off, let it sit for a few minutes, and restarted it. i still had no foward gear. i had to have the vehicle towed to a local nissan dealer (sansone, neptune, nj). after an exhaustive battle between the dealer and nissan north america, it was determined my transmission needed to be replaced, based on the computer codes. the cost is not covered by warranty - the extension covered up to 84k miles, my altima has 101k. i was treated poorly by the dealership, and nissan corporate. i never got notification about any recalls, apparently notices were sent to a former employment address - i retired from that place 3 years prior to purchasing the altima in 2015. my records say its a 2015, yours indicate it's a 2014. the transmission is faulty, according to my research. thankfully, as a police officer, i had the necessary skills to get off the roadway, despite almost being in a serious collision. this is an egregious safety issue, and nissan's lack of concern is abhorrent. i cannot afford the $4400 price tag to replace this transmission, which was poorly manufactured. the dealership "fixed" the "computer update" to the transmission, as well as "lubing" and not replacing the the faulty hood latch. notably, they allegedly drove the car throughout the day on friday, january 29, before declaring that the transmission needed to be replaced. the fact that this transmission just quits, while driving 65 mph, is a death trap.

Headlights are not bright enough to safely operate vehicle at night or rainy and/or foggy weather.

I purchased this car from carmax with a full understanding that it was properly serviced. my car has been in the shop 4 times in the last 3 months, for my check engine light and overheating. saturday morning i went outside to crank my car so it can warm and it wouldn’t start. this is ridiculous, paying almost $400 a month for a car i barely drive.

2014 nissan altima transmission died in the middle of interstate wirh no warning.it was running fine when i left from home

The headlights are so dim, it is a hazard to drive at night. we replaced the bulbs and restored the lenses but nothing helps. if you search the internet, there are numerous complaints about this problem. you can't see 50' in front of you. these headlights should be recalled and nissan should be fixing this problem don't wait for someone to get killed in a car accident before something is done please!!

Primary projector-styled headlights loose their intensity over the years, to the point that they no longer illuminate the road at night.

When m vehicle gets between 1000-2000 rpm the vehicle shakes and has problem picking up speed. once over the 2000 rpm, the vehicle has no problems.

Hood latch defective they state recall but no remedy and car stalls while driving locking me in car in middle of road or intersections

Low beam headlight on driver’s side is virtually nonexistent. very hard to see at night.

As of november 2020, the airbag indicator illuminated and remained on. it initially occurred when starting the car and there were no passengers. my concern is whether the airbag will deploy properly in the event of a crash, which is a safety issue.

I was driving when my car started to jerk and a slip indicator light appears on the dashboard but i continued driving on city street. i got to a light about to turn and the car would not go forward but only roll back. it?s the cvt transmission car was lost power p0776 code was found

It making a loud sound since i had new brakes put on

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while her husband was driving at 70 mph, when the rear passenger lower control arm detached from the vehicle. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the driver was able to park on the side of the road, and the vehicle was not drivable. the vehicle was towed to independent mechanic and was informed the lower control arm needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 118,000.

The airbag light has been on consistently.

My low beam lights are very dim. i can barely see at night. i have replace the light bulbs and that did not help. i have to constantly drive with high beam on but with incoming traffic i have to go back to low beam and it’s like the incoming traffic is blinding me. i can barely drive the car a night due to this issue. it’s been an ongoing problem with the lights. they are getting worsened by the day.

Vehicle traveling straight on highway at approx. 65 mph. vehicle jerked in a fishtail manner to the left hand drivers side. i immediately pulled off the highway, discovered a completely flat tire (purchased only 2 weeks ago). vehicle towed to dealership and was told that rear lower control arm was severely cracked, unsafe to drive. service member also advised me that this is an ongoing issue with my vehicle and that i needed to go through nissan usa consumer affairs since my vehicle (although the millions of issues on record) to have my repair approved. vehicle is currently at dealership and i am awaiting nissan usa consumer affairs to call back to address the issue. vehicle is approx. 7k miles outside of 60k mile warranty.

Low beam headlights are very dim and are keep getting dimmer, cannot safely drive car at night using the dim beam of the headlights.

The chrome and i had light lamp is burning it is a known issue and there has not been a recall through nissan there’s nothing wrong with that i’d like there’s nothing wrong with the bulbs and there is zero visibility at night.

Low beam headlights are very dim, changed bulbs, cleaned headlights nothing fix the problem, need to change complete headlights

Driving at night is very dangerous for me to drive with my kids home i’m a single parent the headlights mainly low beams are very very low you can even till they are on the police pulled me over and made a joke saying i would be better off using two flashlights can you please tell me the problem or help i almost was in a accident with my children in the car is the low beams the highbeams i’ve had to resort to put a fog lights on my car thank you please respond

The headlights on low beam put out almost zero light, it is a serious safety issue. there are many threads on the internet and this is is a known issue.

The airbag light won't turn off. i'm unsure which airbag, but from what i understand the light on means airbags won't deploy correctly in the event of an accident. it started on 12/13/20 and has continued throughout 12/14/20. the light stays on regardless of what position it's in. parked, turning, driving, etc.

The dim headlights suddenly became dangerous when driving at night because you can’t see 50ft in front of you with the lights on dim. the drivers side sun visor squeaked when the car was new and when the car was out of warranty the internal clip on the visor broke.

Headlights no longer light the road adequately on the dim setting. tried replacing bulbs but no improvement.

Low beam lights do not work to where you can't see 50 feet in front of you. replaced the light bulbs and still not any better. huge safety concern when driving at night

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact had stated there an abnormal burning odor coming from the vehicle. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate properly. the vehicle was turned off and restarted and accelerated as designed. the check engine warning light was illuminated. the contact called headquarter nissan (1725 whittlesey rd, columbus, ga 31904; (706) 225-8100) however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at night, the front headlights would not adequately illuminate the roadway causing a visibility hazard to the driver. after replacing the light bulbs, the failure persisted. the cause of the failure was not determined. the local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 105,000.

Headlights are useless on low beam. it's like driving with flashlights taped to the car. driving at night is very dangerous. a search on internet reveals pages of nissan altima owners with the same complaint. why is nissan not doing anything about this very dangerous defect?

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while pulling into a gas station, there was a popping sound coming from the vehicle followed by a rattling sound. the contact became aware that the rear passenger’s side tire was slightly bent. the contact then looked underneath the vehicle and noticed rust near the bolt and joint with the control arm, as well as, a fracture. a certified mechanic inspected the vehicle and informed the contact that the rear control arm failed and needed to be replaced. manchester city nissan located at 30 tolland turnpike, manchester, ct 06042; (860) 398-4326) was contacted and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 107,000.

I have been hearing a clunking sound from rear of car for few years multiple trips to dealers and had them look into noise. the only thing they came up with is the shocks were bad, i replaced them and car still had the clunking sound. i was returning home from trip to store and when entering my driveway off public side road @ about 2mph the drivers side rear control arm broke clean off from the mount bolted to the frame and the tire crashed into the inner fender and twisted to ~45 degree angle. i know that the 2013 has a recall in usa and canada and canada also has recall for 2014 for the same problem. if this had broke while i was on expressway 5 minutes earlier this could have caused serious injury to myself and passengers not to mention any body else that could have in my path. when dealer replaced driver side he said that the passenger side needed to be replaced also as it was showing stress cracks. the car is garage kept and located located in wisconsin i have all the parts that came off the car if anything is needed i can be reached @ [xxx] redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

I was driving when my car started to jerk and a slip indicator light appears on the dashboard but i continued driving on city street. i got to a light about to turn and the car would not go forward but only roll back. it’s the cvt transmission per two shops that received codes for the transmission. also i see where nissan has a lot of complaints about the cvt transmission is there vehicles. even though my warranty is expired i have about 140,000 miles on my vehicle clearly it’s something with the equipment.

There is a known issue with the 2013-2015 headlights becoming so dim the vehicle isn’t safe to drive in low light conditions. through a lot of research and money of replacing bulbs and time pulling the headlights apart it’s apparent the reflective material in the low beam headlights is burnt off or oxidized preventing the headlight from functioning properly allowing the driver to operate the vehicle safely in any driv ing conditions at all. nissan has not recalled these faulty headlights and refuses to correct this unsafe issue.

The low beam headlights are very dim

Previous complaints to my dealer regarding my car is the 'stuttering or jutting' of my vehicle while driving - at times almost violently. the cvt transmission had been replaced once within the first 6 months of ownership. on december 29, 2016 while traveling from mo to il, while on i-44 traveling approximately 75 mph uphill with the cruise control set the car suddenly lost power to the transmission would be the best way i would describe it. the car suddenly started revving to over 6,000 rpms, the gas pedal would not react, it was if the car was in neutral and the gas pedal was revving the engine. the loss of ability to control the cars speed while going uphill on the expressway put us in serious danger. we were able to get over to the side of the road. the car was put into 'park' we waited a couple of minutes but due to our location on the expressway shoulder we knew we needed to get into a better sight of oncoming vehicles, it seemed as if they didn't see us until they were right near us, many trucks were unable to move over on short notice so when they pasted us at 70+ miles the entire car shook. when restarting the vehicle it would not engage into either 'drive' or 'reverse'. roadside assistance was called, due to heavy volume they could not get to us for at least 1 1/2 hours, they deemed the situation dangerous and the missouri state highway patrol was called. when they arrived approximately 1/2 hour later the car would go into drive, but with extreme jerking and constant revving of the engine. since the car moved they escorted us the 1 1/2 mile to the nearest exit off the expressway, while traveling downhill, just coasting the car would constantly jerk and the engine was revving. the car was towed back the 200 miles to our dealership. the car experienced 'transmission failure' and is currently having the transmission replaced again. *tr

I work in car leasing and actually think the information on this website's database is wrong, just flagging this issue. this vin and many others for other altimas says no remedy but when you go to the dealership they are able to solve recall r1609. other altima vins with this same recall also have a different status saying there is a solution. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 20 mph, the hood flew open without warning. in addition, the hood panel was damaged. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v565000 (hood/latch). the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 39,000.

Engine should've shut off or give warning sign that oil from the oil filler came out andsplattered all over engine causing a engine fire which could've injured or killed someone this happened because someone must've left the oil filler cap off or didn't tighten cap,all mechanics told me the car should've shut off or warning light should've came on. also the location of oil filler is in a bad spot it's on the middle of the engine with lots of plastic covers over engine,most engines the oil filler is on side of engine so oil doesn't spill on top of engine .the engine is a 2.5 liter engine .the engine runs very hot and with all the plastic parts and any oil spilling it can easily catch fire .i think nissan should install a oil filler cap sensor to avoid potential engine fires.car is being repaired now from insurance claim but nissan refused to reimburse any fincancial offer or a replacement car,since i brought the car brand new 6 months ago .i think someone should investigate this,a simple fix like a oil cap sensor could prevent fires and save lives

Having issues with the cvt transmission in my 2014 altima, the symptoms are while sitting at a stop and engine idling at a normal rpm in drive the car will at random begin to lurch forward rpms will fluctuate and at times engine will die. after the engine dies at times restart is difficult and may take two of three attempts before the car (engine/transmission) will function properly. i have taken it to the dealership have been told that they cannot reproduce the issue and therefore (this is my opinion) there is no problem. with only 10,000 miles left on my powertrain warranty, i feel that nissan has put me between a rock and a hard place, it goes without saying that this is my first and last nissan. *tr

You are still list it as "recall incomplete". for hood. when i called i was informed it was fixed by previous owner. so it should be completed. date called around october or november 2016. 9/10/2016? so you need to verify this and make corrections accordingly. i don't see recall for airbags for this vehicle.

Hood released while traveling on the highway causing serious damage to the vehicle and causing the vehicle to leave the roadway.

The low beam on my nissan altima is extremely dim. is so dangerous to drive at night. my friend got an accident last night because of this issue. i have to use the hight beam when i'm driving at night, this is also another safety issue which affects the the other drives but we have to, otherwise we could hit somebody.

Low beam headlights' brightness has degraded over time, since car was new in december 2013. suspect projectors have degraded.

Headlights are too dim! even after changing bulbs, it’s still dim. i have to put my high beams to see at night. i don’t feel safe driving at night with this car.

I've been in contact with nissan regarding this, but they stated that the nhtsa is the agency responsible for issuing recalls before they would address any vehicle issues outside of warranty. i was told that my vehicle has about $1,500 worth of repairs needed because of some rust/corrosion issues with the rear lower links. after doing a little research, i discovered that there is a recall for this issue, but it only applies to 2013 altimas in the us, but both 2013 and 2014 altimas in canada. so i wanted to reach out to you and see if you could add a little insight into this and how it makes any sense that there is a known safety issue with the 2014 altimas and so they offer a program like this, but then leave out the 2014 model in the us, but include it in canada? it's the same model vehicle regardless of if it's in canada or the us and i feel quite confident that canada's road salt usage is not significantly higher than minnesota's. as is evidenced by the fact that my vehicle has this issue and that the 2013 models were included with this campaign for select us states. so if you could add the 2014 altimas in the us to this campaign/recall, it would be greatly appreciated. i have a video showing the issues from walser nissan if would be helpful. please advise. thanks, andrew tinklenberg

Low beam headlights are dangerously dim. i have to drive with high beams to see safely. this started in 2019 and is getting worse.

The low beam headlights are dangerously dim. it look like the cheap materials of those headlights are the problem.

My headlights are extremely dim when driving at night. i replaced the halogen bulbs, and it did not fix the problem. i also tried to switch to led bulbs, but that did not fix it either. on highways, it’s hard to see street signs and on multi-lane freeways, the lane markers are harder to see because i’m going at a faster speed. on top of that, i cannot see further ahead on any road and oncoming car’s headlights that are brighter than mine make the problem even worse. i need this problem fixed.

Headlight don't work as they should there to dark i need to put my high beams to see a lil better

I own a 2014 nissan altima, over the time of ownership i have noticed the headlights getting dimmer and dimmer, i assumed it was the bulbs aging and replaced this on 02/15/2020. the new bulbs (silvania silverstars) were supposed to be brighter. there were not much brighter. later when i went to the dealership they suggested new headlight assemballies as the chrome painting on the insides of the lenses has faded and as a result is not reflecting much light onto the road. the estimated cost of this repair was 800$. i have never owned a car where the headlights have failed in this matter and as a student it is unacceptable and dangerous to have low beams that are so dim they do not even appear to be on at night. googling this issues shows many forums where people are complaining about the same issue i was having with new headlight assemblies fixing the issue

Driving slow in a 25mph neighborhood made a turn heard a clunk thought i had a flat turned around less than a 1/2 a mile back home less than a block. had i made it to the freeway the results could’ve been much worse. called my mechanic and he ordered a part, decided to look and it seems this may be a problem with these cars

I feel like the recall on my car has been open for too long and no remedy is available yet to fix the issue.

The constant velocity transmission (cvt) died while driving at highway speed. this failure of the cvt is premature at less than service life of the vehicle. cvt failures from research are quite to common to be an anomoly

Control arm/rear suspension lower link rusted out and lost control of the car on the taconic state parkway. no injuries.nissan has been aware of this issue since 2103. wont replace as they state car has too many miles which has nothing to do with rusting out. it states on their website a service campaign agreeing that severe corrosion occurs in states with high road salt usage and new york is one of these states. why isnt this a recall? shame on nissan. had we been alerted to this service campaign we would have had it inspected on a regular basis to avoid this mishap. nissan also stated since the car was not totaled, they will do nothing. please alert anyone who owns a nissan altima to be aware! we will be fixing this control arm at our expense as well as the other control arm at our expense so that this will make the car safe and to avoid a major accident or death. if the airbag was defective, would that matter of the mileage of the car? its a safety issue!

I have been having trouble with my headlights. they are extremely too dim. i can barely see at night. my bright lights work great. sometimes i feel as if they are not on. i have changed the bulbs several times. it is much dimmer on the driver side than the passenger, but the passenger side headlight is still dim. this is a safety issue. i’m not sure what to do now. i’m not sure why this has not been recalled by now. someone will most definitely get into an accident. i have almost wrecked several times because of this. this need to be a main concern for nissan. they are risking our lives. how many bulbs do i have to change? on dark roads i have to put my bright lights on but when another vehicle is coming then i have to cut my bright lights off. when i do this then i feel as if i’m going to go off the road. i cannot see at all. this is a very important problem and need to be addressed immediately. i’m pretty sure that there has been accidents because of this. i had to put a date on this but this has been going on since last year. i’m a nurse and i have to leave early in the am for work on a dark road. this is extremely dangerous.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving 55 mph, the contact switched lanes and the vehicle began to swerve and shake uncontrollably. the traction control warning light illuminated. the contact veered to the shoulder and called roadside assistance. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and inspected on the flat bed truck. the mechanic noticed that the rear driver’s side lower control arm was fractured and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. ron bouchard's nissan (490 old union tpke, lancaster, ma 01523) was contacted. the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vin. the vehicle was not drivable. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to contact nhtsa to log a complaint. the contact referenced nhtsa action number: ea19002 (suspension) open investigation for the similarity in the failures stated. the failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

On 9/9/2020 my wife was driving our 2014 nissan altima home from an errand when she felt that the steering was compromised. after arriving home she asked me to drive the car. i proceeded to back out of our driveway and after traveling only about 6' the driver rear wheel 'dropped'. before exiting the vehicle i told her that it felt like the wheel had fallen off. i crawled under the vehicle and found that the rear driver control arm had completely rusted through causing the part to fail. i spoke to nissan consumer affairs and learned that there was not an open recall for the 2014 altima but there was for the 2013 altima. i then decided to investigate on the national highway traffic safety administration website. i learned that the 2013-2018 control arm share a similar design when further reading nhtsa action number ea 19002. i also discovered that there was recall for the 2014 altima in canada and we live 17 miles from the canadian border. i feel that the recall for this part should be expanded to include model year 2014-2018 because of the shared design.

The driver's seat is loose. 2 screws came out and you can rock the seat back and forth. but still attached.

My hood latch does not close like it should. the wheels are showing to have a wheel bearing problem. pops when press on brakes and turning. also made a big "bang" noise.

The right rear control arm broke on my vehicle without warning. i was unable to control the car. fortunately, i was only on a 30 mph road at the time. if i had been driving on the freeway, i most likely would have been seriously injured or possibly killed. there was a recall/replacement program in canada for this type of issue on the 2014 nissan altima, but nothing in the u.s. the repair cost me $730 due to having to drop the rear suspension in order to replace this part which made the job labor intensive. i feel that this type of issue should also be covered in the u.s.

Transmission 1st gear or 2 gear delays shift and shuts down . soon as i pull off my engine or transmission does this loud grinding noise and stops moving

When i am idle at a red light and get ready to take off, i step on the gas and the rpm hand moves however,t he vehicle doesn't and then it suddenly jumps to take off. many times i was almost rear ended because of the delay of the vehicle not moving and my foot is off the break. drivers would assume i am going.

Headlights on my 2014 nissan altima are extremely dim. it's extremely dangerous to drive at night. the local dealership has offered to replace them for $700 plus the labor!. are they replacing with the same lights since they insist there is no problem with the lights?

For several months the passenger side airbag indicator light has been working intermittently. sometimes the light shows unoccupied when an adult is sitting in the passengers seat. i don’t know if the airbag is working properly or not. i took my vehicle into the nissan dealer in leesburg, fl last week for routine service and told them about the problem. they performed a diagnostic test and did not find any fault codes. they then got in and out of the seat several times and said the airbag light displayed properly. the next day with an adult passenger in the seat the light again showed unoccupied. why hasn’t there been a recall regarding this problem.

The system that determines whether the passenger airbag will deploy on my vehicle is not functioning and is defaulting the airbag to not deploy. i took the vehicle to my dealer for a quote and was told it will cost up to $1,800.00 to fix. i know there has been at least one recall pertaining to this system already (recall number 15v681000). i also asked if there was a way to have the airbag always set to deploy but was told that was not possible. an $1,800.00 fix for a critical safety feature is a hazard that will drive people to accept undue risk. a recall for affected nissan vehicles to replace the system or which would default the airbags to deploy would mitigate the risk to the population.

Having problem with headlights. have changed bulbs out with several different brightness. still not very bright. makes it very hard to see.

2014 nissan altima 2.5sl airbag light came on and stays on

The driver side low beam headlight is significantly dimmer than the passenger side one. i have changed multiple bulbs and none can fix the dimness being experienced. i suspect this issue has something to do with the housing and i know other owners of the same model that have the exact same problem. ps, i'm not the first owner of the car and i've seen this issue since purchase. so i'll set the date to today's date.

Where the mileage screen is it keeps blinking on and off and stays black out majority of the time i can’t see miles and i can’t see what the gear it is in on the dash board . when the weather outside reach over 95-100 the dash board starts too light up and blink lightly too see the miles my car has it is a wire issue and shortage somewhere on electrical part . second issue is there is a recall already on the hood latch and nissan dealer telling me they can not fix it until they have a solution my hood will not latch so i am driving around with a hood that can fly open and cause a accident any minute and being there a recall nissan is gonna be responsible for all damages

Passenger airbag light is on even when someone is in the seat now the one on the dashboard is staying on no codes coming up on computer this is happening when car is in motion and stationary tried resetting light is still on

Hood lach broken and disengages automatically without being opened by car operator. can open while the car is stationary or operating. the manufacturer sent me a recall notice to say the remedy would not be available until mid 2021. i think this is unacceptable given the hood may fly open while driving at high speeds and the driver is unable to see out of the front window. i am writing because this situation presents a ptential emergency.

Lower control arms need to be replaced, front struts need to be replaced, and power steering motor. my power steering will fail while driving, for 2-3 seconds at a time, making my steering wheel unable to turn. while in motion

My 2014 nissan altima low beam head lights are becoming dangerously dim to drive at night. they have been what i believe dim for a few years, but have been progressively getting worse. to the point i feel it is now a safety hazard for me to drive at night. after doing research, i am realizing this is a common problem with 2014-2106 nissan altima. i guess the coating inside the projector beam light housing wears off or deteriorates preventing a good beam of light. changing to a higher quality light bulb also does not fix this problem. only way to fix is apparently to replace the entire light housings which from what i understand cost around $1000 from nissan. i have seen enough comments from other nissan altimas with this same generation, that i feel this is an issue that nissan should be addressing.

Both the left and right rear control arms cracked due to rusting. my car operates in ohio, a state that uses salt to clear the roads. all the 2013 models were recalled for this manufacturing defect, however my car was built 9/29/13 at the start of the 2014 production. they were still using the same parts, since at this point they did not know they were defective, but did not recall the cars involved to be repaired. the resulting loss of control could be fatal if it happens on the freeway. fortunately, my car did not experience that catastrophic level of impact. howver, if my car was shipped to canada it would be part of that as they recalled all 2014's. why isn't that the case here as they all came off the same assembly line with the same parts. this needs to be corrected in the u.s. my car started making very loud clunking noises as the parts were cracking and i stopped driving it and had it towed to the dealership. this is a significant safety issue, and nissan knows it exists, look at onlimne reviews with the number of people having this issue, including your own site, and you can see just how bad this actually is. please take the steps to expand this recall for the sake of all of us who own this car.

The secondary hood latch may become stuck in the open position due to a potential for corrosion (in regions with excessive road salt use) in the hood latch combined with improper inspection and maintenance. remedy is not available now!

Lleft, rear lower suspension control arm broke. this was discovered by the inspection station. we had been hearing a groaning/squeak for 4 weeks before it was discovered.

My headlights on dim quit working so i thought it was the bulbs, went to the nissan dealer and had new bulbs put in and it was just as bad if not worse. call the dealer they said it was the projection system that alot of these models had that problem but it wasn't a recall yet. i checked on google and many people have the same issue and don't have the 1200.00 to get it fixed. when i turn my lights on dim it is like someone shut them off completely. this car is useless at night and i will never buy another nissan because of this dangerous problem that they should be a recall on and isn't. someone will die in this car one day i just hope i can get rid of it before it is me or one of my grandkids. a car with no lights are night is a death trap!!

We purchased a nissan altima sv, the headlights have progressively gotten so dim that at night, in rain, snow etc. they provide no adequate light to light the roadway in front of the car. we have to resort to turning on our high beam almost continuously to see the road and obstacles. what we have found out is that it is a defect in materials and it will cost me approximately $1000 to fix, which i cannot afford. at this time nissan is silent on the issue. i feel like the lives of my family and others on the roads are endangered by these defective lights that nissan refuses to address. i have had the bulbs changed and it does not improve the head light quality.

I brought a 2014 altima from a dealership in 2018. i notice weeks after i purchased the car that it would not accelerate properly and even stall out while in motion on the highway or trying to accelerate at a traffic light. i had a new transmission put in. now a little over a year later the same thing is happening again. the mechanic says that its the same problem due to a faulty transmission part(cvt) transmission. this should be recall due to numerous complaints i have seen and mostly the danger it is causing for nissan customers. this is a hazardous and costly issue. nissan should rectify this immediately

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.

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

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

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.

Passenger air light is on and won't go off. i was told that there is no recall for the airbag. i haven't had no accident, but if this should happen and the passenger air bag doesn't work. look out nissan. you'll needs to recall these airbags. i see nearly 700 complaint. *tr

Our 17 year old son was driving ur 2014 nissan altima about a 1/4 mile from our home. he hit a bump and immediately felt the steering pull. he got home and we looked under the car and saw that the rear control arm was rusted thru and had broken. thankfully he was not on the interstate or going faster when this happened.

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.

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.

Driver side seat belt, secured portion bolt is backing out and/loose. fear of fast stop or accident seat belt restraint will not hold.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while attempting to close the hood, the contact noticed that the hood failed to latch securely. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The airbag light will not shut off after reset. *tr*dt*jb*dt

Low beam headlights are so dim that the car cannot be driven at night. there needs to be a recall for nissan to address this problem as it is a common problem on these cars. *tr

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.

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that there was a grinding noise coming from the front-end of the vehicle. the contact stated it seemed as though it was a bearings issue. the contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealership. the vehicle had not been officially diagnosed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 76,500. *bf consumer was told it would cost 4k to replace new transmission. *jb

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.

Lights are too dim and i cant see at night or early in the morning. i have changed the bulb numerous times and nothing helps. i have changed to hd and even led and nothing helps.

Transmission stopped working in the middle of traffic 4/28/18. i was stopped at a red light. when the light turned green the engine shut off. the engine shut off when trying to move forward or in reverse. i was traveling westbound on east cheltenham avenue in melrose park, pa. the car was towed to faulkner nissan where the transmission was replaced due to a cvt issue. i was reimbursed for towing (reimbursement was offered by nissan) and i was given a loaner vehicle with a new transmission at no cost.

While driving the car the rear drivers side control arm snapped causing loss of stability, control and drivability. upon inspection by mechanic the passenger side rear control was about to break also.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact’s son was driving at 35 mph, without warning the vehicle pulled to the right. the contact was able to regain control of the vehicle and drove at low speeds to the residence where his father inspected the vehicle. the inspection showed that the passenger’s side rear lower control arm was fractured and the driver’s side rear lower control arm was extremely corroded. hawkinson nissan located at (5513 miller circle drive, matteson, il 60443, (708) 252-3769) was contacted. the contact was informed that the vehicle should be taken in to the dealer to be diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed and responded abruptly at an abnormal speed. the vehicle was towed to gerald nissan of north aurora (213 hansen blvd, north aurora, il 60542) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective transmission. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 83,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the hood flew open without warning. the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v116000 (latches/locks/linkages) and was previously repaired; however, the failure recurred. the contact called simmons-rockwell nissan located at (224 colonial dr, horseheads, ny 14845) where she was referred to the manufacturer for assistance. the manufacturer informed her that an inspector would be sent to her local dealer for an inspection. the inspector determined that the secondary latch was defective. the inspector placed a zip tie on the latch and referred her back to the dealer. the dealer offered no further assistance. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 146,000.

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.

We bought our new 2014 altima in december 2013. on february 4, 2020, with 151,000 miles, my wife was driving a winding county road at approximately 50 mph and experienced a problem with her altima. she stated that it was like the car was on ice and nearly uncontrollable. i went to her and discovered that the left rear control arm was severed at the attachment to the chassis. i drove the car about one mile at less than 20 mph and it was terrible! i told the dealer to replace both controls arms and i demanded the parts be returned to me. upon inspection of the parts, the right control arm has severe cracking and would have failed in the same manner within days or weeks. i spoke with nissan north america. they claimed to be aware of the problem on 2013 models only. i requested that nissan extend their repair campaign to all affected years and notify owners of this safety concern. they have refused. they have also refused to cover the expense of our failure, which totals nearly $1800 including a rental car. at a minimum, nissan should be requiring their dealers to inspect the controls arms of any affected altima that is being serviced. they should be collecting data on the inspections, and they should be replacing any control arm that is showing severe degradation before it fails. our altima was in for service less than 3 weeks prior to failure and no related concerns were brought to our attention. per nhtsa's open investigation #ea19002, this failure is primarily in the areas where road salt is used. road salt means these areas are prone to slippery road surfaces. just imagine this failure happening on a slippery road! the results could be disastrous for those involved. nissan needs to do the right thing to protect their customers, the public and their reputation.

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.

I own a 2014 nissan altima, over the time of ownership i have noticed the headlights getting dimmer and dimmer, i assumed it was the bulbs aging and replaced this on 02/15/2020. the new bulbs (silvania silverstars) were supposed to be brighter. there were not much brighter. later when i went to the dealership they suggested new headlight assemballies as the chrome painting on the insides of the lenses has faded and as a result is not reflecting much light onto the road. the estimated cost of this repair was 800$. i have never owned a car where the headlights have failed in this matter and as a student it is unacceptable and dangerous to have low beams that are so dim they do not even appear to be on at night. googling this issues shows many forums where people are complaining about the same issue i was having with new headlight assemblies fixing the issue.

Tl* the contact owns 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated while driving at 30 mph, the beam projected from the headlamps were inadequate for safe vehicle operation. the contact stated that the hi-beam was activated for safe vehicle operation. the contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. a local dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 64,300.

I bought my vehicle 2yrs old and after 1yr of owning it, i noticed the lights were starting to get lower, making it very difficult to see the road when driving at night. eventually i had to start permanently driving with my high beams on in order to be able to see some part of the road at night. this is extremely dangerous trying to drive and making turns in the dark where there is little to no street lighting.available. this issue has also caused a deterioration in my eyesight from continuously straining my eyes at night.

Airbag light came on and the error code was b0020, which is the drivers side, they reset at the dealer. it came back on a week later and i took it back. they told me they checked the wires and it all looked fine. they don’t know if the airbag will deploy if in an accident so i need to replace it and it will cost $1000. they also sold me the car in april and in may the light came on. very annoyed by this.

2014 nissan altima s, projector headlamp assembly is defective and in order to see at night, i must drive with my high-beams. i have contacted nissan and they want to charge me over $200 just to "troubleshoot" the issue even though i told them about this defect. a lot of nissan altima owners from 2013-2018 are having this issue, yet nissan does not issue a recall and we are expected to pay them about $1,000 for a new set of headlamp assemblies. this is a very serious safety issue. please help us get nissan to be responsible for this defective design and issue a mandatory recall at their expense. thank you.

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.

Can not see at night due to very dim headlights, high beams work fine just not the low beams. have replaced bulbs and even the local dealer can not figure it out. i can only see while driving at night about 20 feet in front of me which is dangerous on dark rural and interstate highways.

Headlights are very dim. unable to see at night while driving with low-beams on. i paid $250 to replace the headlamps with no luck. after doing some research, it appears this is a well known issue. this seems like a safety issue so i am wondering why there is no recall?

Low beam headlights are too dim to be safe. i’ve taken this to the dealer twice, and each time been told to try new bulbs. following their advice, bulbs have been replaced twice now, once with hid, and again with led. both options gave very little to no increase in visibility. dangerous to drive the car after dark as the headlights only provide light 10-15 feet beyond the front bumper.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contacted stated while driving about 65 mph the contact heard an abnormal noise. the contact was unable to identify were the noise came from. the vehicle was taken to marlboro nissan (740 boston post rd e, marlborough, ma 01752 508-481-3232) and the contact was informed that the rear passenger control arm needed to be replaced. the failure mileage was 104,000. the vin was not available.

Driving to work lost control of rear tire. took it in to get looked at and was informed the rear lower link rusted all the way through. i was informed there was a service campaign for 2013-2014 altima sedan on the rear lower link. when i contacted nissan i was informed it was only for the 2013 altima. i explained to them campaign id# p9324 said for 2013-2014 altima and my car was a 2014 built in july 2013 and has the same rear lower link part number on both year models and mine had completely rusted through and separated. they don't care. now i can't drive the car until i get it fixed at my own expense.

Tl* the contact’s husband owns a 2014 nissan altima. while her husband was driving at 55 mph, he lost control of the vehicle without warning. upon inspection, the contact’s husband became aware that one of the rear wheels was loose. the contact was able to tighten the unknown rear tire and drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic. the contact was informed that the rear sway bar link was fractured. the driver given an estimate for the repair. the dealer had not been notified of the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was 230,000.

On tuesday night january 14, 2020 i do as i always do this night and drive my son to his hockey practice for 6 pm in north smithfield rhode island. we were on the highway route 295 in travel lane passing an 18 wheeler truck. when we were next to this truck it felt like a gust of wind came out of no where and pushed my 2014 nissan altima in his lane and almost hit this truck. i went to correct the wheel to move away from this and the car almost went right off the highway in a ditch. i had no idea what was going on and was able to keep the car straightened out. my son, who is 11 was scared to death. i noticed that that a light on dashboard came on that looks like a traction control light or slippery road light. where this happened, the practice we go to was next exit and right off the highway. we decided to head there since there was no safe spot to pull over in this location at night. i put the hazard light on and managed to get their slowly somehow so i could look into what this problem was. we got to practice. my son went in and i looked around at what this light was that came on dashboard. i could not find it in manual anywhere and was thinking that it may have been a computer issue. from there i checked the outside of the car and under the best i could and did not notice anything at this time so i left it alone. when it was time to leave my plan was just to take it slow and drive home. we made it about 200 feet out of parking lot and heard a nasty noise and pulled right over on route 146 in north smithfield r.i. i looked under car where i heard the noise and could see something broken. i took an picture - called my mechanic right away to find out what it was..it was a control arm and were extremely lucky we were not involved in a serious accident or hurt in anyway, found out the other control arm was ready to break https://photos.app.goo.gl/iegg5svv4csqnnvr6 i

The headlights are very bad at night i have changed out with new ones 5 times. also the steering have to keep being corrected when driving car wants to go into other lanes i had 2 wheel alignments in still no help

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds without warning the vehicle stalled. the contact stated that the failure was intermittent. additionally, while the steering wheel was turned to the left or the right, the headlamp would fail to remain illuminated. (piazza nissan of ardmore located at 265 lancaster ave, ardmore, pa 19003, (610) 649-4400), was contacted and an appointment was scheduled to have the vehicle diagnosed which was still pending. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 98,852.

Both low beam headlights no longer adequately illuminate the road at night, creating very unsafe driving conditions. illumination intensity has gradually gotten worse over time. use of high beams is required to adequately view the road at night, which blinds oncoming drivers, thus creating unsafe driving conditions for them.

Headlights on my 2014 nissan altima are dim and i have had a plethora of near death experiences because other cars flash their bright lights at me thinking my lights were not on. i was even followed and told that my lights were not on and had to show the driver that my lights were on.

While driving on a state route i hit a bump in the road and immediately felt the steering wheel shift from even to the left about 45 degrees with a thumping sound . also the stability light came on. i tried to steer the car properly but encountered a pulling to the left. i pulled off the road into a lot and discovered the rear left wheel and side (driver side} was lower than the right and the wheel was tilted inward. further inspection revealed that the connection to the suspension was compromised. we had the car towed on flatbed to my local mechanic. he is located near the local nissan dealership so we hope to get it resolved with his selp. my research on your site indicated that several (1000's) of 2013 vehicles experienced this problem but not many 2014 models. i believe the problem is not just for the 2013 models and the 2014's age is about at the same time when the 2013's have failed. (6 years old). i am hoping that nissan follows suit with the 2014 models like canada did last year.

Cvt transmission failing with only 73,900 miles on the 2014 vehicle. also both passenger and driver side door mechanisms have broke from the inside, meaning you have to roll the window down to get out of the vehicle. this is a safety hazard.

Low beam lights are extremely hard to see the road. visibility is low and dangerous. the lights worked fine when i first purchased the vehicle. oncoming cars are flashing lights at me while driving thinking i do not have my lights turned on. this problem could be a serious safety issue if addressed asap.

My low beams headlight are so dim that i cannot drive safety without use of high beams light. other driver are not safe either when i have to use my high beams, just in order for me to see at night when driving. i replaced the bulbs more than one time and there is still no improvement.

Low beam headlights on 2014 nissan altima have deteriorated to a point where the light does not project out onto other cars on the roadway and traffic control devices cannot be seen resulting in collision with curb type median traffic control device while moving to turn due to inadequate illumination of roadway surfaces.

Accelerating from a stop sign, about 10 feet later there was no power to the wheels. neither reverse or forward gears worked and the check engine light came on. engine runs normally and no abnormal noises. ended up having to push the car to the nearest safe area and waited for a tow. this seems to be a sudden transmission failure at just over 50,000 miles the shop has quoted me $4000 to replace the transmission citing they have seen many failures on the nissan cvt’s and do not recommend repairing them.

I went to turn into a parking lot, heard a loud thump from the back of the car and when i looked under the rear end my sway bar was broken off on the drivers side. 2 months prior to this happening my right side broke while i was backing up.

Starting in april 2019 on my 2014 nissan altima sv. the low beam headlights are extremely dim. they are easily overpowered by the turn signal, and headlights from other vehicles cast a "shadow" when driving behind this vehicle. this presents a serious safety hazard especial in any wet weather event it is almost like having no lights on at all. if there is a minimum lumens that need to be projected to the road this design is not doing it. the bulbs were replaced with appropriate units, no change in the effectiveness of the lights. when i contacted nissan about this safety defect they provided no solution. and took zero responsibility for the companies design flaw.

Low beams you can't hardly see anything at all at night. very dangerous

Factory light beams where dangerously low. visibility was close to none, often had to drive with high beams on. i thought that it was the lightbulb which was replaced and this did not fix the issue. i had to replace the entire light compartment in order to fix the issue. looked up online that many other drivers experienced the same issue due to a thin layer in the reflector compartment that once it fades, it causes the light to not reflect properly onto the road. this manufacturer error should be looked at, as this is a major safety hazard for drivers.

When the lights are turned on to drive at night, the driver's side headlight is not as bright as the passenger side even after getting a new headlight. the light is bright when up close but is barely visible far away. basically, you are driving with one headlight at night making it very hard to see.

Over time the low beam headlights are so dim it is unsafe to drive without high beams on at night the road cannot be seen.

My headlights are so dim i cannot see, i replaced the bulbs and there is no change, the issue is in the headlight covering, its darkening the bulb. it is a hazard!

Air bag light stays on and it won't go away.

My airbag light just came up on the dashboard and would come off i just started the car and it's been on ever since

About a year ago i noticed i could not see well at night. i took my car in to have the headlights replaced. i thought it was my driver side low beam. they replaced it. about a week later it still was not any better. took it back in and they said it was fine. i replaced the bulb 2 more times and still was awful. then i discovered that this issue was common in 2014 altimas. i was told i could fix the issue by replacing some parts. replaced my passenger side, but was told that because of all the issues that the driver’s side low beam had melted. i have to replace the entire assembly. this will end up costing $800, for headlights. this is an extremely dangerous problem. i was told i was lucky that my car did not catch on fire. nissan needs to fix this problem and provide the repairs. accidents could happen due to this dangerous problem.

Headlights are not bright enough and not visible driving at nite. very dangerous and not safe for nite driving an accident waiting to happen for all 2013-2015 atima models.have to purchase new headlights which cost me $300.00 for headlight and $300 to install. i feel there should be a recall for these nissan atima's and i should get reimbursed.

As i was driving my 2014 altima, i accelerated from a complete stop and lost control of my car and began sliding. as soon as i stopped the vehicle, i restarted and began to move forward. while only going 15 mph, the car began to shake, i stopped the vehicle and notice the rear driver side tire was not aligned correctly. after being towed and upon further review, it was determined that my lower rear control arm had snapped off from the bolt on the driver side. after looking into this, the rear passenger control arm was determined to have a severe crack on both the top and bottom sides.

I was driving on the highway and noticed that i had low visibility and could not see as far as 1 foof ahead and had to use my high beams all the way home. i assumed that it was my bulbs or battery and changed them both out. when i changed them, i noticed no change and almost hit a parked car and feel that it is very dangerous not only for me but others that have the same make and model and year of car and feel that something needs to be done because it is a safety risk.

Headlights are dangerously dim. reflector no longer projects light. many complaints on message boards.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that while driving at night, the light projected from the headlamps were inadequate. the vehicle was taken to first team nissan of new river valley located at 2130 n franklin street, christiansburg, va 24073, (540) 382-2903, to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the headlamp bulbs needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was also taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the contact was then informed that the headlight assembly needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 88,383. *bf*jb

Passenger airbag light indicator & passenger airbag on/off indicator remains on even when a passenger is seated in the front seat. i think this is a safety issue because the airbag will not deploy from an impact as needed. request any assistance with this related safety issue. thank you

Lights are extremely dim! i can't see at night without using high beams. i have bought new bulbs (led) without a solution. dealership solution is to pay $1000+ to get new headlights. many other altima owners are experiencing the same issue.

Low beam headlights are very dim when driving at night. i can’t see anything that is more than 100 feet in front of the vehicle. this can cause an incident especially on the highway going faster speeds and non illuminated areas where you need to see further ahead. the high beam lights are perfectly fine, but when using my low beam headlights, it’s almost like they are not even turned on.

Both low beam, headlamps in my 2014 altima are extremely dim. i first noticed it about two years ago and has become significantly worse over time. i have replaced the bulbs with oem and high end (brighter) bulbs to no avail. the external assembly plastic is not that faded and even tried buffing it. that did not work either. it's dangerous to drive at night. it is extremely difficult to see at night unless the high beams are on.

The headlights on both side becomes extremely dim to see the road at night, which becomes hazardous. went to nissan dealer who told this is a known problem in altima and no recall has been ordered. they were not sure of solution but told the whole assembly would need to be changed. several times got beeped from incoming cars as the headlights were so dim as if headlights were not turned on. i first noticed this issue in july of 2019 and this issue has become more evident once my daughter started to practice driving using this car.

My 2014 altima’s low beam headlights are extremely dim that is not secure to drive at night. changing the bulbs don’t fix the problem.

Low beam headlights have deteriorated to the point the car cannot e driven at night. the bulbs were replaced twice with no improvement. adjusting the bulbs also did not improve the illumination. the car is unsafe to drive at night and the car has been parked for the last four weeks. it’s obviously an engineering flaw the consumer should not pay for. you can’t value engineer safety. i contacted nissan to see if they will do the right thing and replace the headlight assemblies. in closing the turn signal bulbs produce more light than the low beam headlights.

I was driving the car one evening and when the headlights automatically came on i noticed they were significantly dimmer then normal. i rode about a week or so with the dim headlights and it appeared that they were gradually getting dimmer until one of the bulbs eventually went out. i had both bulbs replaced and the headlights remained severly dim. so dim that there is no light being emitted onto the road and i have to use high beams when traveling after dark.

Air bag light comes on and stays on when car is turned on. my daughter says the hood of the car is vibrating when driving!

Low beam projector headlights are extremely dim and replacing light bulbs has not fixed the issue. something is wrong in the projector lens

Main headlights are extremely dim. they have gotten progressively worse over the past two years and now help almost not at all. if i did not have fog lights i would have to drive with the high beams on in order to see at night.

My headlights are very dim i have replaced them both which has not helped and know they have both went out and i have to drive with my hi beams on at all times. which prior to them going out i drove with hi beams just to see. very in safe driving conditions. i have spoke with nissan regarding this and they tell me they have had no complaints regarding my year or model. basically they don’t have any clue what i’m talking about.

The projectors in the headlight assemblies have failed after a couple years. the low beams are so dim that we can barely see at night time. we have replaced the bulbs with numerous different bulbs and the bulbs are not the problem, it is the projectors in the headlight assemblies. as can be found online, this is something that is happening a lot with the 5th generation altima. a recall needs to be issued as this is very clearly a safety related problem if you cannot see at night. this is a manufacturing and design flaw.

About three years into owning my brand new 2014 nissan altima i began to realize how incredibly dark the roads were becoming when i would drive at night in front of me. i thought at first i needed new prescription glasses but when i begin needing to use my brights for regular nighttime driving in the city i knew there was a problem. then, both my brother and father on separate occasions pointed out how dangerously dim my headlights were. after that, i knew it was not just my eyes seeing darkly. i begin to do research on this issue and found out the headlight barrel unit corrodes after just a few years of ownership in the nissan 2013 to 2015 models. i have tried changing the headlights and found this to be useless, proving the point of other owners. it is incredibly disappointing that it is incredibly disappointing that such integral safety/vision facets of my car are useless. i feel completely uncomfortable driving at night and i have normally very great vision. if my car can’t shine lights in front of me, that is a huge concern, and this issue within the altima models can get someone killed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. on several occasions, while driving various speeds, the power door locks operated independently by unlocking and locking. the contact stated that the failure occurred while turning the steering wheel or driving over a bump in the road. there were no warning indicators prior to the failure. after the failure, the door opening warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I purchased a used 2014 nissan altima with 58,000 miles. it drove great during test driving and on my way home which is 1 hour away from where i live. by day 2 the car began jerking around 60 mi per hr. and under. i made an appointment to have it looked at my local nissan dealership. by day 4 on the way to the dealership the rpm would jump up to 4 and the car made a winding noise. it would advance forward quickly and then stall. all of this while driving on a major highway. i came to a place where i could pull over waited a few minutes and then tried to pull off the car would not go anywhere. i finally had to have it towed to the dealership. nissan has yet to know what the problem is, saying it has an "unspecified code". it's been 3 days. i know there had been a recall on the cvt transmission however i don't see my vehicle vin on the list.

The low beam headlights are very dim, projecting only 2-3 feet in front of the vehicle. replacing the bulbs does not help. the reflective coating on the projection lens has worn off causing the light beam to not project well. this creates very poor visibility and is a safety hazard.

Car would not stop as i was trying stop from hitting a vehicle that stopped i'm front of me, due to brakes locking up and i tried to swerve to prevent an accident from occurring the steering wheel locked up as well.*dt*jb

The passenger side headlight is too dim. there is no light coming put of the headlight assembly. i thought it was weak bulb and had it replaced but the problem didnot go away. went to nissan dealer who told this is a known problem in altima and no recall hs been ordered. they were not sure of solution but told whole console chnage may solve the issue. right now i need to put high beams on as only driver side headlight gives right amount of light. the passenger light is on but nothing can be seen. the headlight panel is clean and clear but no light comes out.

I was pulling into my parking spot with my foot on the brake. as i reached the parking spot, the car accelerated and crashed into my living room. my foot never touched the gas. the only way to park in such a tight spot is to have your foot on the brake. i have no idea how this happened but we could have been seriously hurt.

I was traveling around 70mph on a busy interstate when i heard a loud sound, similar to a shotgun blast. i then immediately began to hear glass shattering. it was then that i realized my sunroof was literally shattering into millions of pieces.

I parked the car went into a store left the car running. while i was driving home, the cvt transmission would not shift out of 1st gear. i know there are no gears in cvt but i could only go 20 mph on the road and highway, very dangerous. i made it home, and the next morning, the transmission was ok.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and the battery indicator illuminated. the vehicle could not be restarted. the vehicle was towed to buckeye nissan (3820 parkway ln, hilliard, oh 43026, (614) 771-2345) where the torque converter and transmission were replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they performed updates to the new transmission and assured the contact that the failure would not recur. the vehicle was repaired. the failure mileage was 84,300.

Fuel pump stop working

Vehicle has terrible visibility at night when in motion. the vehicle has an inferior headlight assembly, causing you to drive nearly blind and to almost rely on the next vehicle in front of you to provide you a path. i initially thought it was the headlight bulbs that were the issue. i had changed them out and it only improved visibility ever so slightly. i was told by the nissan dealership that it is due to the headlight assembly frequently going bad. they told me that it is fairly common for the reflective part of the headlight assembly to go cloudy and go dim. they told me that since this was considered standard wear and tear, therefore not covered by warranty. they recommended me to replace the whole headlight assembly for over a grand. i was even recommended to buy them after market to save, however, this should not even be an issue! this issue presented itself after owning it from new for about 5 years. this is a known issue that nissan is refusing to address this issue. i have never experienced this type of issue with any other vehicle that i have owned. this is a hazard and can certainly cause safety hazards for the driver.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving at low speeds, the accelerator pedal was applied, but the vehicle slowed down and stopped. in addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to san leandro nissan (1152 marina blvd, san leandro, ca 94577, (510) 826-1462) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 37771869. the failure mileage was 97,000. the vin was invalid.

The rear arm rods rusted out and snapped off while driving on a city road

Regular (low beam) headlights are extremely dim, despite me cleaning the exterior of the headlights and replacing the bulbs. yesterday in north raleigh, nc, i ran over a low concrete divider separating the main traffic lanes and a turn lane, because i couldn't see it at all. the dimness seems to be particularly bad for peripheral lighting (which makes sense giving my example above, changing from one lane to another, and not seeing the concrete divider at all). from researching this issue online, this problem seems very common among 2013-2015 altima owners - apparently the headlight assembly's projection system degrades or wears out.

The low-beam head lights are extremely dim. i had the bulbs replaced and cleaned the fog from the clear cover, but the lights are still dangerously dim. this apparently is because the reflective material in the light assembly has deteriorated.

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.

While on a 70mph highway, my vehicle started sputtering and would not retain speed. i kept my foot on the gas, and it was losing speed at an alarming rate. i was now going 35 on a 70mph road. i pulled to the berm, with my hazards on, and tried to regain normal highway speeds. found a safe spot to park, had to have it towed (usaa insurance) to a mechanic. mechanic could not register code, he towed it to another mechanic. cvt transmission went. known problem with altima's. nissan knows of the problem. had to have it towed to my home state ($500, no receipt, as it is not here yet). need to take it to an authorized nissan dealer and pay for it out of pocket(37-3900, no receipt, can not afford it). had to rent a car to get home ($300, my sister rented it). i had children in the car, ready for vacation, and they were scared we were going to get into an accident because of the cvt transmission issues. so far, i am out of pocket 571.62, not to mention the almost 4 thousand dollars i am facing.

Low beam headlights are way too dim when driving at night.

Airbag light for passages seat belt is on. i had one of them repaired before. what do i do now?

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

Low beam headlights over time are extremely dim. illumination is not adequate to drive at night. this is reportedly a manufacturing defect in the projector not the bulb dimming or burning out. vehicle is dangerous to drive at night. the internet is filled with similar complaints so my vehicle is not an isolated incident.

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

Backing into garage on monday august 19 2019, heard a crunch sound, passenger side rear control arm broke after heavy rust and corrosion. dealer (walser nissan burnsville mn) repaired under warranty but refused to replace left side being as it wasn't broken yet, knowing full well of the open investigations and even sent a memo from nissan corporate regarding replacements this fall, if you're lucky enough to be on the list.

I puchased the vehicle in 7/2016 used with 47,000 miles. never ran great. needed new cvt transmission at 63000. miles. was repaired .. now 99,347. miles failure of cvt trasmission again. car only 5 years old. dealer says not their problem vehicle stopped at a light. would not accelerate when stepped on pedal. cars driving toward me in anticipation of me moving put me in grave and dire harms way

My headlights on my '14 nissan altima are very dim, to the point that i avoid driving at night or in the rain because i cannot see more than 5-10 feet in front of me. i live off of a dark road with limited lighting, and is always fearful of hitting something/ someone or running off the road so i'm frequently driving with my bright lights on just to make it home safely. this progressing dimming worries me because i drive often for work in occasional high construction and newly developed areas where equipment may be left out in poorly lit areas, like cones or machinery, that are difficult for me to spot from a safe distance. if reflectors are not present in the road or highway, i have difficulties staying within my lane because of the dimming headlights, resulting in placing other drivers and myself in danger. i have taken my car to a nissan dealership, which i was explained that it has nothing to do with the light bulb itself, but a defective or worn projector lens which will cost approximately $1000 to replace.

Low beam headlights are extremely dim. my understanding is that this is an issue with the light housing and not the bulb. the reflective material in the light housing is breaking down and not reflecting the light any longer. hard to see without using high beams.

Low beam headlights on my 2014 altima have become really dim to see at night. the mechanic changed the light bulbs but this did fix the problem. he said the projector (lens) material inside the headlight assembly is corroded and that the whole headlight assembly needs to be replaced. this is a very serious safety problem since it affects visibility at night, and nissan should provide a remedy for this manufacturing defect.

When coming to a stop sign or a red light the car shuts dow. and the car bucks when you try to start it again. after several attempts it may ot may not start again. the car was in motion when this happened.

My 2014 nissan altima has very dim headlights making it extremely difficult to see while driving at night or in bad weather. driving with the brights on looks more like what the low beam lights should look like. i alter when i drive because of this issue.

I have changed the light bulbs 3 times . they are so dim i avoided accidents . i drive with high beam and it is not fair for the other drivers. universal nissan in orlando in zip code told me it is normal.my personal mechanic told me it is not the bulb but the mirroe surrounding the bulb that is faded.a few people i know have similar problem.

Car in motion at the time when it started jerking, car was in reverse to get out of parking spot. stepped on gas petal continued on the road, started jerking worse as the car turned onto exit. car pulled over and stopped.

The low beam headlights are too dim. its a safety issue at night.

The low beam headlights are dangerously dim and new bulbs will not fix the problem. i reached out to my local nissan dealer, they informed me to contact nissan. contacted nissan and they had no solution for the problem. i can not drive the car at night. this problem started within the last 12 months. asked about having car repaired and nissan repair quoted over $1000.00 and no guarantee that it would not happen again.

Altima airbag recall my altima is under the year that the airbags were recalled, but my specific altima is not recalled but is showing all the signs that the recall states.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the headlights went out and then turned on again, but were very dim. the failure was a hazard because the contact could not see the road while driving. the vehice was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the headlight bulbs, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 32,000. the vin was unknown.

Headlamp assembly of the vehicle is extremely dim. high beam works exceptionally but low beam seems to be burned out. light bulbs have been replaced several times but there is no change is visibility. vehicle has been taken to autonation nissan where they concluded nothing was wrong with the headlamps. headlamps have even been adjusted in the direction that project, but still no change in visibility. headlamp visibility became drastically decreased while vehicle was in motion on the highway

Acceleration issues. sporadically the car will do nothing when we step on the accelerator. it is dangerous because it happens randomly and we essentially have zero power to move. after holding the accelerator down for a number of seconds the car will then abnormally start to accelerate and rev up on rpms but will not accelerate as normal. it's as if the transmission is thoroughly confused. i continued to drive the car and it could never get over 60 mph regardless of how far i stepped on the accelerator. i have video of the behavior. the issue continues at random times and we feel incredibly unsafe when we are in traffic because the car will idle forward but do nothing even when accerator is depressed. i took it to the dealer with video of the vehicles crazy behavior; they have told me that the computer says nothing is wrong with it. they tell me to continue to drive until it gets worse. this is not acceptable because we are at risk of an accident when you try to accelerate but the car does nothing but idle forward; it catches us off guard and we are concerned about idling into on coming traffic when making turns. i have contacted nissan who said they have no interest in watching the video and that the computer indicates nothing wrong with my car. we are incredibly worried about driving this car and feel nissan is covering up an issue. it was admitted to me by the dealer that this is a common problem with many of their cvts; it is evident in consumer information on the internet as well. i get the impression nissan has no interest in the safety of the community; starting with the fact that neither the dealer nor consumer affairs has interest in watching the videos showing the very serious issue. i can provide video to nhtsa upon request. thank you.

Air bag ligt came on dealer say.s 2,000 to fix and not covered

Transmission will go back and forth between dying and reviving up. seems to be a very common problem, but no recalls. per nissan now, the transmission is dead and needs to be replaced.

I noticed last year that my low beam headlights were really dim, literally the fog lights illuminate farther than the low beam lights. i bought new bulbs that were led and my high beam lights are really bright, however the low beam lights are still just as they were before. i did some research online and found that many nissan altima 2013-2015 owners were experiencing the same issue. this is a very serious issue when driving at night, if you can't see without your bright lights on!!! why has there not been a recall done on the headlights yet???? surely something can be done about this before there is a tragic wreck because a driver can't see two feet in front of the car while going down the road.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was able to restart. the contact called sullivan brothers nissan (1 cranberry rd, kingston, ma 02364, (781) 585-7500) to notify them of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 79,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving at an unknown speed, the contact heard a rumbling noise and there was a strong vibration coming from the vehicle. the contact stated that the vehicle surged and the gears failed to properly change over, when needed. in addition, the traction control indicator kept illuminating. temecula nissan (41895 motor car pkwy, temecula, ca 92591, 951-972-8400) was unable to diagnose the failure several times and kept indicating that the traction control indicator caused the system to assume to brake and also caused a power train malfunction. the manufacturer later sent a technician to provide further testing. pedder nissan (200 carriage cir, hemet, ca 92545, (951) 225-4831) was also contacted and indicated to take the vehicle back to the dealer that performed the repairs. the manufacturer provided no solution other than a settlement with no remedy for a permanent repair. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was not available.

Car shudders, idles up and down, loses power while driving. when accelerating, the tachometer will raise to 4500-5000 rpms with no real power supplied to the car, and will only slowly accelerate(slipping?) tachometer bounces up and down within 100rpm range while coasting. my cvt is about to fail.

Right rear lower control arm snapped/fractured causing vehicle to veer off road . component replaced 6/2019.... currently inspecting left rear lower control i found it has fractured as well. it is fractured in an area where there is no apparent degradation from rust .... the metal is all intact and brittle.

Low beam headlights became extremely dim over time. my altima currently registers 135,000 miles. i did not notice the problem because i drive the vehicle daily. however my wife, who does not drive it regularly, has mentioned the dimness to me on multiple occasions. initially i believed the problem rested with the bulbs; however, replacing those did not improve light brightness. after an online search, it appears that the problem may be due to heat induced clouding of the projector lens. neither headlamp assembly has been compromised. i believe that such equipment is durable in nature and that, unless damaged, should last the life of the vehicle. finally, i've noticed that th problem is so severe that low beam light from vehicles behind me cast more light than my own low beams. indeed i can easily see the shadow of my vehicle which is casted from the low beams of the vehicles behind me. this is a severe safety problem for me, other drivers, pedestrians, etc. it deserves the immediate attention of the nhtsa. this problem is an issue at night time, particularly when in motion since reaction time may be insufficient to avert and accident or incident

Jerks when turning on won’t turn on inconsistent battery and check engine light will feel jerky and has jerked forward at stop light when my foot was on brake pedal has jerked in reverse while in drive and vice versa amongst other concerns. very inconsistent with this very unpredictable have already gotten serviced 2 times under warranty and purchased from certified preowned nissan dealership etc docs can be provided upon request

The ecm mahesh the engine light go off every month!!

Bought a used 2014 altima from hendrick chevy in merriam kansas. transmission failed on multiple occasions and did not give any indication via check engine light or failure codes. acceleration was severely delayed from a stop nearly causing me to wreck when throttle reaponse and acceleration was near zero.

I have a 2014 nissan altima. one morning after having drove about 15 miles on the city street, turning my car off and then on again after about 10 minutes, my car started shutting off when put in drive. i had to get it towed. my mechanic called nissan and gave them the failure code. he was told that it was the torque converter. it was locked and so the transmission needed to be replaced. i've been reading up on this and other complaints. nissan issued a recall on the cvt reprogramming, but i think they know that there is more wrong with the transmissions they installed these cars than that. reprogramming the cvt is simple for them, it's just a software upgrade. now i'm finding out that the torque converter is failing (locking up) on thousands of cars. i feel nissan should be held accountable for these repairs.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving various speeds, the vehicle's rpms surged without warning. also, while driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled when the accelerator pedal was depressed and the check engine indicator illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to nalley nissan of atlanta (2551 the nalley way, atlanta, ga 30360, (678) 825-6749) where the failures were linked to service bulletin number: ntv15-102 and related to the cvt; however, the dealer had yet to determine if the defects were related to the transmission or the engine valve. the manufacturer was not notified. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was unknown. * bf*jb

The vehicle stalls when pulling from a stop sign or stoplight. the vehicle restarts without issue then will stall again when engaging into gear. this happened at highway speed also with the car turning completely off. after exiting the highway, the car restarted without issue and was able to continue off the road. at a stoplight, it stalled again in the intersection. research online shows multiple complaints on this vehicle similar to my complaint. this vehicle is unsafe to drive and i don't think i will drive it again.

Headlight are very dim at night . when you are driving at night you cannot see anything with the low beam light you will have to turn on the high beam light . i contacted nissan they inform me that this issue would be investigated however they still haven’t contacted me back . i changed the headlight multiple time , also i had the headlight restoration . however that sill haven’t resolved the issue . i am at the conclusion that a accident will take place due to the headlight been very thin you cannot see what is in front of you once you are driving this is very dangerous in will take someone life.

I have 2 of these model altima's. both suffer from the same problem the low beam headlights are very dim and it's hard to see at night. very unsafe

The headlight assembly needs recalled asap! i noticed that the headlights appeared much dimmer so i replaced the bulbs twice but it isn’t a problem with the bulb. it doesn’t matter if you get better bulbs, the headlight projector will not project light forcing you to drive with the high beams on. it is dangerous! my son was pulled over driving my car one night because the officer said it didn’t look like he had headlights and advised him to drive with the bright high beam lights on. i’ve researched this issue and it seems that literally hundreds of people have complained about this issue but nissan is doing nothing to correct the problem! i’ve always bought nissans but all the issues i have had with this car, i will never buy another one! this has been an ongoing problem that i have dealt with now for two years and since nissan won’t issue a recall, i’m forced to purchase new headlight assembly’s for the car.

Low beam head lights very dim hard to see at night very dangerous in fog hard to see deer animals people try to run with high beams on but then putting other drivers at risk

The car stalls in the middle of the road while driving. this happen on more that 4 times before it completely stopped driving. i took the vehicle to dealership, where is was diagnosed to for transmission failure. the vehicle has only 81k miles on it. this is a major issue with the vehicle.

The same as everyone else complaint, passenger air bag light does not go off after 7 seconds when car started supposedly no recall !!!! safety hazard.

My vehicle stalled while i was stopped in traffic when i attempted to restart my vehicle and move it . it would start but when i attempted to shift from park it would stall again. i had to get the vehicle towed when taken to the shop nothing appeared when scanned and days later the car began to move again

The low beams are non-existent and i have to drive with my high beams on and get flashed by angry oncoming drivers all the time. this adds to my visibility hazards at night. this happens every time i have to drive at night.

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.

Hood latch is hard lock. airbag light stays on.

Takara recall - the low-beam headlights in my altima are dangerously dim, and i was told it had nothing to do with my bulbs. i was told by nissan it's a wiring issue but online it states "the material inside the projector bowl wear down, burn off, or scuff up, the projector lens doesn’t receive as much light to, well project".

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?

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.

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!!

Transmission has been shuttering during driving and it is a known problem with nissan and they do not want to cover the cost of what they caused

The low beams are not fully illuminating while driving at night. the lights are very dim. so dim, you are unable to see the road.

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.

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.

My headlight are so dim that it is dangerous to drive at night. my mechanic changed the bulb and cleaned up projection, still blind. help!!!

Steering wheel vibration it's getting worse every day plus when i turn the wheel to the left it does make a grinding sound

First, the cvt blew on a 70mph highway. got that fixed, nissan north america and mentor nissan helped. nna paid 70% of a transmission. they are also reimbursing me for towing. then, i have video proof, that after the recall, the ocs light is on while i have passengers in the car. lastly, rear suspension arm rusting out (photo proof). this car is no longer safe to drive! the whole car should be recalled!

While driving my 2014 nissan altima my truck opened and as i proceeded to shut my trunk it would not shut. i noticed that the trunk latch was stuck i trued to use a screw driver still no success this is a serious safety issue that needs to be resolved.

We purchased this used and upon driving it at night, we discovered the headlights are very dim. it's nearly impossible to see without the high beams on. replacing the bulbs did not help at all. we have since done some research and see that it is a very common problem with 2013, 2014, and 2015 nissan altimas. the research says that the reflective covering in the headlight assembly becomes blackened and then, even with working bulbs, does not properly project the light forward. the only way to fix it is to replace the whole headlight assembly at a dealership which is very costly. we are afraid to drive this car at night at all, and should not be responsible for the huge repair cost. if the articles are correct, nissan is aware of the issue, but refusing to issue a recall. please help. see attached article: http://www.nissanproblems.com/altima-projector-headlights/

Headlight covers---front headlights are so dim (low light) that you can barely see at night. i took it to a mechanic to change the bulbs to stronger bulbs twice and i was told that the issue is the light cover, it does not allow light through. i know other owners have complained about the same thing, it is very dangerous to drive at night when you are not in a city or lit up town, i drive with the high beams on which is also not safe for other drivers. :(

I can't see at night using the dim lights. i have changed them 3 times, and put the most expensive/powerful/brightest lights i could buy, and paid mechanics 3 times to change them (you have to go up through the wheel well skirting), and the brightness i get is like candle light. i try not to ever have to drive it at night.

Passenger air bag indicator stays lit indicating air bag is not operational even though an adult is occupying the passenger seat.

Car shaking coming to a stop then cut off

Front passenger seat air bag does not always activate when a passenger is present. system does not so this vin as part of previous recalls, but the current symptoms are exactly like previous recalls for this problem.

Our 2014 nissan altima began experiencing a deterioration of it's headlights over the past few months. at present, unless the high beams are on, the lights do not illuminate the road at all. drivers are forced to either use high beams, which may blind or bother oncoming traffic, or be left with no effective headlights if on low beam.

On occasion when passenger enters vehicle, air bag indicator light does not go out giving the appearance that the vehicle does not think a passenger is in the vehicle. typically occurs when passenger is entering vehicle at the same time the vehicle is being started. can usually be “resolved” by turning vehicle off and on again. has occurred multiple times.

When i was driving my car started grinding as if the engine wanted to shut down or the transmission i was getting ready to get on the freeway and i could barely move it was in gear it wouldn’t do it in low gear either i will come to a stop light or stop sign because i was trying to make it home which was 5 miles away, and it would just barely inch out sometimes it won’t even start for about 45 seconds to a minute to go into drive and the rpms at 25 miles an hour would hit up to five rpm’s the whole time driving,i take really good care of my car in for this to happen to my transmission is not ok and then i started looking up that this is common in my car so why haven’t you done any recalls? it all starts at 70,000 miles but there is no recalls for that because you only have your warranty is up to 60,000 miles which is a good thing because you know that the transmissions going to go out after 60,000 miles, anyway i barely got my car back to my home and i have a mechanic look at it and it’s going to cost me almost $4500 to get my transmission fixed, and i still owe 16,000 on it. i don’t know what’s going on with your nissan ultima‘s but looking up online mine is not the first one that this is happened to so therefore since i can’t drive a car because i can’t afford to pay all that money, and then i also am out of work because i need a car to drive back-and-forth, i am going to find an attorney that will do a class action lawsuit against you guys for the vehicles doing this! what is happening is not ok, and should never happen but with everything i looked up online there are hundreds of nissan altima‘s 2014’s around 70,000 miles that the transmission is going out this is a problem and it needs to be addressed!

My low beam headlights are very dim. visibility is very poor at night time and when driving on the interstate i have to plan my trips to drive in the day time. i already repkaced the bulbs but it did not help and was told i have to replaced the whole headlight assembly.

Car stalls out while driving engine completely shuts off or sputters like it is going to die in the middle of traffic while driving it does not matter of it is hot or cold it does ot when ever it wants too nothing triggers the random sputtering or engine dying as well car has a grinding metal noise coming from the brakes replaced the brakes and rotors but still making the noise as if brakes are very bad.

Curtain side air bag light is on; sometimes it turns off but then it turns on.

The steering wheel is very loose and the car is hard to keep straight. it is all over the road. if you get in a groove in the road it will about take the car and cause you to lose control. i thought i had a problem somewhere else but had everything checked and it is the steering. when others ride with me they ask if i'm ok because of the car going side to side. i avoid the highway because with speed increase it's even harder to keep in my lane. i noticed the problem right after getting the car. tried to ignore thinking it was me, that i was not use to the way a nissan handled as i have never owned one before. something has to be done. this is very dangerous. i have read at least 16 complaints from other nissan owner's while on the internet to see what the problem could be.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle hesitated and the battery warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle failed to accelerate as the accelerator pedal was depressed. the vehicle was towed to banister nissan of norfolk (1250 n military hwy, norfolk, va 23502) where it was diagnosed that the cvt failed. the contact was informed that the transmission needed replacement and the cvt needed reprogramming. the nissan manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that the extended warranty expired in december of 2018; however, there was an open service campaign number: pc490 (cvt reprogram). the contact stated that she had not received notification of the open service campaign. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

The headlights on low beam does not produce enough light to see the sides of the road or any object within 5 to 10 feet in front of car. replaced bulb with upgraded bulbs and it did not help. very unsafe to drive at night. i can’t drive when it is raining to hard to see. this is only with the low beam. this has become worse over time. i brought this car new. i have less then 100000 miles.

Takada recall. on my 2014 altima can't see with lights on low beam have to drive with them on high beam. replaced bulbs multiple times but doesn't help. this is very dangerous as i can barely see 10 feet in front of me.

I was driving in the passing lane at 65mph in heavy traffic at rush hour on the interstate. the right front control arm failed and i was able to maintain control and pull off the right shoulder of highway. the car was towed to the nissan dealer. the right front control arm was rusted apart and the left arm was intact but was also heavily rusted

Cvt transmission failure

The low beam lights on my 2014 nissan altima are so low that you cannot see at night. i have change the bulbs 2 times and i'm still getting the same results. i took it to my local shop and they suggested me changing out both head lights. why haven't this issue been recall by nissan?

I have a 2014 nissan altima that has 72,000 miles on it. the low beam headlights are so dim i can barely see a foot in front of me. this is a real safety concern. i have replaced the bulbs with led and it did not fix the problem. traveling on any road i have to put my bright lights on just to see. it’s not safe to drive it at night and i shouldn’t have to put my safety or the safety of others in jeopardy just because nissan has a flawed system they refuse to acknowledge. it’s surely someone’s responsibility to make nissan put out a recall on these headlights so we as the car owners don’t have to pay $1,000 for something that is nissan’s fault. as of december 2018, this particular problem ranks 10th in the carcomplaints.com recent problem trend list. this is a manufacturing issue. nissan needs to address the issues before someone gets hurt. i am begging you to please make nissan accountable for this problem. there are literally hundreds of consumers complains all over the internet and there are over 96 complaints alone on your website that pertain to this specific issue for 2014 nissan altima’s from. please make something happen before someone gets killed!!!!!!!

The vehicle was in motion when the rpm dial started to move up and down and the car started to slip gears. the car was unable to go into top gear, struggled to go up hills, began shifting gears erratically, and could not acelerate past 40 miles per hour. the car felt very hurky jerky and the ride was the oppposite of smooth. this persisted for over several miles. i got the car to the nissan dealership the next day. according to a class action lawsuit i am involved in that nissan lost, on june 9, 2019, nissan was supposed to fix this issue, but they are refusing to make amends for the issue with the transmission on my car. the case is christopher gann et al. v. nissan north america, case number 3:18-cv-00966, in the u.s. district court for the middle district of tennessee. my car is at the rockland nissan dealership right now at 845 -358-6700 and they want us to pay for them to diagnose the car because the car is out of warranty even though according to the legal deal they made they are supposed to extend our warranty 24 months or 24,000 miles and pay for any servicing of our transmission. https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/auto-news/901515-nissan-altima-transmission-defect-class-action-settlement-reached/ https://www.law360.com/articles/1167149

While driving on a residential street at roughly 30mph, my vehicle suddenly pulled dramatically to the right, pretty much against my control of the steering wheel. i thought the car had been knocked out of alignment though i hadn't hit a bump. i proceeded home, approximately at 10-15 mph. i made an appt to my local garage and limped there. when my car was hoisted onto the lift i was told to come into the service areaso that i could be shown what happened. they showed the right control arm and said that it split in 2 and that i was extremely lucky that i wasn't involved ina serious road mishap. after viewing the part i firmly believe that nissan has a various safety issue with the control arms on at least 2014 altimas, which i purchased brand new. i do a lot of highway driving and based upon how the vehicle swerved so drastically to the right, i am certain this vehicle would have flipped over with any sort of speed. at 30 mph, i was lucky to avoid contact with pedestrians or objects. i contacted nissan to file a complaint. the rep was more interested in informing me that my vehicle was out of warranty and not taken to an authorized dealer. i was told that there no other complaints filed about this part breaking apart. i have kept what remains of the part. this is a very serious safety matter. i am certainly available to provide any additional information.

Shakes when taking off, when hitting the gas it doesn’t want to go anywhere. shutters and vibrates. when it first started i was driving down the street

Despite replacing the bulbs and even trying hid light bulbs for the car, it is nearly impossible to drive at night due to the headlights being so dim. you literally have to drive with your bright lights (high beams) on in order to see more than a few feet ahead of you as you drive. it is extremely dangerous and poses risk not only to the driver because they can't see without driving with high beams on, but also to oncoming traffic being subjected to blinding lights in their eyes.

The headlights of the nissan altima 2014 are too dim for safe driving after dark. the low beams, on regular setting, barely shine in front of the vehicle and provide little to no lighting for the surrounding roadways. the peripheral view of the road and/or medians, while driving, is obsolete. while driving the highway at night, i am forced to turn on the high beams in order to see a few feet in front of me. on more than one occasion, i have completely missed a car driving on either side of me, because of this issue. even after replacing both bulbs, the lack of lighting is evident. i do not feel safe driving this vehicle at night, when i do not have the help of the city street lights. i have researched this problem with nissan altimas and it seems to be an issue for 2013-2015 altimas. after speaking with a mechanic, it was confirmed that this issue is rampant among altima owners. replacing the bulbs for the headlights does little to solve the issue, and the only other option is $1,000 worth of work to improve the problem. this is an ongoing issue that should be addressed for all individuals who own this car. inadequate lighting, which is an understatement in this case, is a major safety hazard for the drivers of these vehicles not to mention everyone who shares the road with them.

My air bag light stays on in my dash. went to my local dealer to find out an old code b0020-13 was detected. they found everything to be fine, so they reset the code. the air bag light came back on two days later, and the same code came on again. they recommended a replacement of the side air bag module under the driver seat to repair the concern. they want to charge me $1600 for parts and labor, and what's worse, the sop part is on back order with no eta. so i asked the dealer what i am supposed to do, and if the car is safe to drive? he suggested that i shouldn't drive the car, but the part is not readily available any where in the united states? what kind of garbage is that? they offered me no solution to my problem, and i don't have another car to drive, and they can't even tell me when the part will become available???? does this mean that this problem is a problem all across the country, because why don't they have the part available? this is a safety issue!!!! if i were to get in a accident, then the side air bag would not deploy!!

We purchased this car new in late 2013. over the past few years we have had dimness in the front passenger side headlight. have changed bulbs for both sides with no success on the passenger side. lights remain dangerously dim... so much so that we need to use the brights to see at night. reading other complaints this is definitely a safety recall issue on the altima which should be addressed.

The headlight low beams were very dim. i replace the entire headlight assembly. about 1/3 of the reflective surface inside the projector was burn off and parts were cracked from the heat of the head lamp. the headlights were so dim at times it was impossible to see the road. this is a very unsafe condition and should not happen in a five year old car. the dealer wanted about $1000.00 to repair as both the right and left headlight assemblies need to be replaced. i was able to purchase the genuine nissan parts for about half that price and i did it myself.

Suddenly 3 of the 4 doors will not open from the inside, causing an unsafe situation that 3 people can not exit the vehicle in the case of a collision or vehicle fire!

Don’t have to really say much because it’s pretty much all over the internet but that transmission is a piece of junk!! it was slipping repeatedly from around 50,000-104,000 when i got rid of it. it would also stall out (yes on a cvt) from time to time in stop and go traffic. it got to a point that i was scared i was going to be stuck with a car with no resale valve (because of the transmission) and owe a $14,000 payoff balance with the bank. so i traded it in and got a f-150.i believe all jatco transmissions should go under an investigation because this is not safe for american roads.

Vehicle shudders when coming to a stop, then shuts down. on occasion will not re engage into gear without shutting down and then must be towed( twice has died in the middle lane of a road, needing to be towed). generally occurs when slowing down but has also happened when trying to accelerate. nissan dealership claims there are no known issues with these transmissions and are unable to replicate issue.

Driving on interstate the engine changed to low gear and had to pull over ...it shakes and hesitates when accelerate...…...less than 80,000 miles on this car..continues to shudder and stall. nissan is not wanting to do anything ..there has been bulletins on 2014 nissan altimas and even repairs done in other states where nissan paid for service.. the dealership reset but said the transmission will only get worse . cvt

We have not had any accident and the air bag lights came on. the vehicle was not moving. we turned it on in the morning and it came up. we did not know what it was at first until my husband friend informed it that it was the air bag about 2 days later when he sent him a picture.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 70 mph, the transmission downshifted, the engine revved, and the vehicle decelerated. the engine lost power when the vehicle approached a stop sign. in addition, the steering wheel vibrated. the contact was able to gain control of the vehicle after it was turned off and restarted. also, the "m6" message appeared on the instrument panel. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but no failure codes appeared. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 74,000. *tr*jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 45 mph, the hood unlatched and struck the windshield, causing the glass to crack. the contact also stated that the roof of the vehicle was dented inward. the contact parked the vehicle on the side of the road. the contact tied the hood down and drove home. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. upon research, the contact stated that he associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 16v029000 (latches/locks/linkages). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the failure mileage was 55,000.

Lach in hood doesn't work and i'm scared it will open while i'm driving and my catalytic converter manifold is not working properly (engine light on)

The halogen projector headlights are dangerously dim as time goes on and new bulbs do not fix the problem. other altima owners report this same issue and i suspect that the bowl with reflective coating on the projectors is bad. the headlights are very dim and can only illuminate less than 100 feet. the high beams do not have this issue as they are only halogen bulbs and not projectors. one must drive with the high beams on to safely see on the highway and on dark streets and this is not safe for surrounding drivers either.

My 2014 nissan altima headlights are very dim and i have to drive with brights on just to see at night. this is a real safety concern. i have replaced the bulbs twice with led and hid and they have not fixed the problem.

The car stalled and shut itself down when stopped at red signal light. car was able to start but kept stalling and shutting itself down as soon as the car was put in drive or reverse or drive sport.

"takata recall" i purchased this vehicle in october 2018. since the purchase, my low beam headlights have made me run completely off of the road once and almost got hit by another vehicle because of the severely dim; almost non-existent low beams. therefore i have been forced to drive at night using only my high beams because as a single mother of 4, i cannot afford to replace or repair entire assemble. i have replaced the bulbs a couple times and was told by a mechanic at local parts store that the "projector" has obviously gone out and that all altima with that type of lights experience issue. please help me.

Whining transmission occurs at high speeds

Transmisson abruptly stalling in stop and go traffic at highway stop or red light

My low beam lights have progressively gotten dimmer. changing the bulbs didn't solve the problem. it is becoming too dangerous to drive at night.

I have a 2014 nissan altima that revs up while i;m driving and then stops. i turn it off and start it again. it does this constantly. it's very dangerous because i'm driving and all of a sudden, i hear a revving up sound, the car starts to hesitate,, it slows down and then comes to a complete stop. it doesn;t give me a chance to pull off the road. i have to immediately put on my hazard lights. it stops without warning. once i hear the revving up sound, within a few seconds she hesitates, slows down and come to a complete stop. very, very dangerous. the car hesitates when making turns also. car does not accelerate if you stop at a light like she suppose to. let me explain. when i'm at a red light and the light turns green, i put my foot on the gas and the car does not accelerate, she hesitates, go slowly, then kicks in and allows you to proceed. i'm very afraid to drive it. i have heard others and on the news say peoples experience with their nissan altima shutting down just like mine. for me its shutting down everywhere. it's happened on the highway, street, always when in motion, during turns, after stopping at a red light and its time to proceed. i've almost gotten hit by other cars many times when she suddenly stalls. something is wrong with this vehicle. i don't have video of incident because it hasn't had an accident yet, but i'm sure an accident can happen at any day. i'm nervous every time i drive it. it's the mercies of god that i haven't had an accident. please note i was almost in an accident that would have badly injured or killed me when i was making a left turn on hwy 78. the car stalled while making a left turn. the suv almost hit me as i was making my left turn and the car stalled and the suv stopped just as it was about to hit me. i was shaken up so badly, i had to park my car and calm my nerves. this shouldn't be happening. it's a dangerous car.

I was driving the freeway and lost power engine and shut offs i'm not sure how i didn't have the accident yet. take it to mechanic find out it was a throttle body position sensor and the throttle body camshaft position sensor crankshaft position sensor replaced all that still giving the same problem how to replace it again. so the speed limit was 70 i was going 65 so lost lost in the entire engine at speed of 65 is really difficult to maneuver

The low beams on my vehicle are very dim. at night i need to drive with my high beams on to see. this is a common defect in this make model year car from research i've conducted. i took it to the dealer it was purchased from several times, only to be told that the lights are fine. progressively getting worse.

The low beam headlights are extremely dim, they are very unsafe when driving at night you can't see more than a few feet in front of the vehicle, street signs and road reflectors do not illuminate at all. i have replaced the bulbs several times with out any improvement, the most recent change was made with a new led lighting kit with no improvement in the down road vision. the problem does not change if the vehicle is standing at idle or in motion.

Cvt dtc code p17f0 brought the car to the dealer to have the cvt fluid changed at the 60,000 mile service. the dealer showed me the dtc code indicating that there is a cvt problem. the dealer also stated that when the 2014 altima with an l33 engine came out, nissan was changing the cvt because the code indicates an imminent failure. the dealer stated that since then because it cost nissan too much, nissan has started to rebuild the cvt and the dealers have a trained mechanic to rebuild the cvt and correct the cvt judder code. the dealer stated they would contact nissan and advise what how nissan will correct the deficiency. now over 2 weeks, the dealer has not returned my phone calls to advise how nissan will handle. my wife drives the car with my young daughter and i travel for work. i am now concerned the cvt will be problems when i am away and could inadvertently cause a traffic accident when she is driving if the cvt fails. this should be a safety campaign that the nhtsa takes on and pursues. nissan knows about their problems and eventually when there is a failure on the highway someone will get killed or it has already happened and the causal factors have not been identified attributed to the accident. this is a major safety concern and it seems like nissan is not concerned or performing a recall just as the way nissan is handling the takata air bag problems in their cars. further, it is extremely interesting that when the car has been in for pas service, the other nissan dealers did not do the quick simple check of the codes to ensure there were no problems. wouldn't it benefit them as it could produce business?? how stupid and poor service we receive from the dealers.

The low beam headlights on our 2014 nissan altima are so dim you can barely see. i changed the bulbs out to a brighter aftermarket led bulb and the difference is minimal at best. the high beams are still very bright but they are not the projection style. in order to be able to see at night when there is oncoming traffic i must keep the fog lights onto light up the road. the illumination is so poor that security lights that are over people’s driveways are brighter than the headlights and driving at night in the rain is basically impossible on low beam. i’ve talked to a nissan mechanic and he said the only true fix will be to replace the entire headlight assembly because their are issues with the materials breaking down inside the projector portion of the headlight assembly. if that’s the case nissan has done a poor job of designing their headlight assembly and should replace them at their cost as this is a very real hazard. after speaking to the mechanic i started looking online and have found this isn’t an isolated issue, evidently it’s all altimas from 2013-2015 that are experiencing this problem.

Headlamps are dimming and night time driving requires the use of high beams. dealer stated that it is normal wear and tear. only option is to replace the headlamps. vehicle has 52,600 miles. it is not safe to drive without good illuminated visibility.

The headlights are progressively getting more dim over time. lights are dim all the time, not related to idle or other functions. mileage is 80,000 miles. night driving is hazardous. the headlights are lighting only a few feet in front of the car, not illuminating traffic signs, difficulty when making turns at a corner or driveway. i have to use my high beams at night, the high beams work fine but are a hazard for oncoming traffic. this is now a safety hazard that needs immediate attention.

About five months ago back in august 2018 my husband was driving my 2014 nissan altima on the highway when out of nowhere it stalled. he explained that it just stalled but would start back up and then when he would shift it into drive, it would stall out again. we then took it to a shop and they could not replicate what it did with my husband. so, they said it might be a software issue and updated it. fast forward this past friday on january 11th, 2019, i was at a red stop sign, when out of nowhere my car stalls. i actually thought someone had hit me because it just jolted to a stop so suddenly it felt as if someone hit my car. same thing happened that occurred with my husband. shut off car, restarts perfectly, then shift to drive and stalls. i get a tow truck to tow it to the local nissan dealership. even the tow truck driver said he's never seen anything like it, and that he drove it off the tow truck no problem. i get a call two days later from nissan saying that it shows up as a transmission issue and that it will cost around $5,000 to replace it. no explanation to why a five-year-old car that has been perfectly maintained would need a new transmission. of course, the warranty is only covered at 60,000 miles so i had no way of coverage. that day i did investigating on websites to find a recall or any information. what i found was describing exactly what occurred with my car and to lots and lots of people with this vehicle! i then contacted nissan consumer affairs and they created a case number for me. i just received a call today from them stating: "nissan will not be able to assist you in any way." this is a manufacturing issue with either the transmission or a software issue that is saying it’s a transmission issue. this needs to be investigated further for the safety of the consumers of this vehicle or if people are being wrongfully charged money.

Replaced transmission at 84000 miles at a cost of $4100 because of shuddering and stalling. at 100600 miles and 11 months later the transmission failed the exact same way again. nissan would not cover the cost of another replacement. it cost me another $1050 with the help of the dealer and nissan who know they have a totally faulty transmission and won't acknowledge. it stalled and shutterdat a highway intersection and was a dangerous problem. i am lucky i wasn't smashed into on the highway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the low beam headlights were dim and the high beam headlights had to be used when driving. the vehicle was taken to nissan of las cruces (1801 s main st, las cruces, nm 88005, 575-523-5571). the vehicle was not diagnosed, but the headlights were replaced. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 125,000.

Headlamps are very dim while driving at night. control arms are loose, i'm guessing the result of the 2 flaps on each side.underneath the car keeps coming loose even after replacing plastic screws. no accidents have occurred.

Defective low -beam headlight while driveing the vehicle you cannot see anything and front of you. look like the headlights are facing the ground . you would have to turn on the high beam head light in order to see a safe distance ahead .the defective headlight may be inadequate to meet state and federal safety regulations. i have contacted nissan corporate office on numerous occasions. they inform me to take the care into the dealership and get it look at the file a claim. i have done both still no resolution to this issue ,also i have research online in a lot of customer have had this same issue with the 2013 -2017 nissan altima low beam headlight issues not being able to see at night only the high beam lights provide extra sight to see ahead . in conclusion i have had the headlight changed as well this the issue haven’t been resolved .

Was driving at about 35 mph on a paved road and hood unlatched and flew up to windshield. currently vehicle is in a repair shop .

Low beam headlights way too quickly, become unsafe due to well known faulty manufacturer defect. faulty part may be called "reflector". light output quality is not safe! neither the right or left headlight provide enough light to safely operate my vehicle when driving at night. this is a well know issue! yet, nissan has not issued a safety recall??? however, this nissan manufacture well known safety defect will be fixed through nissan for the obscene cost of approximately $1000. disgusting, sad, and unacceptable! after researching, there are many, many drivers, myself included, that have been forced to file complaints with the nhtsa. unfortunately for me, i did not know about the high amount of customers having to spend so much money to fix a problem nissan knows about?? i purchased new high quality replacement bulbs, had headlights re-aimed, and had headlight covers professionally cleaned. nothing helped!! after researching, it appears the well know issue is a faulty part enclosed inside of the headlight assembly. i believe it is called a "reflector"? i have wasted $200 for new bulbs, re-aiming, and having lenses cleaned. this again, is flat out disgusting. had nissan informed me of this defect, i would not have wasted my time and money. i also suffered severe frustration when all that i tried did not help. all the while nissan knew i was wasting my time, money, and well being. please hold nissan accountable. a less vigilant driver may not realize the dangerous situation they are driving in, and... thank you nhtsa!

Have had jerking and shuddering problems while trying to excel, several months after purchasing my car in 2016. at that time it had approx.24,000 miles on it, the dealership took care of the transmission issue. i just recently took it back again with the same issue the car had no power when trying to excel onto the highway ,and was very hesitant and unsafe. the transmission had to be completely replaced! the vehicle only has 43,000 miles on it ,which leaves me very concerned, and with my warranty almost up. i am very concerned as i see this is an obvious problem with this vehicle, that i consider still new.

After driving car for 173000 miles with no trouble transmission failed to shift it,s like completefailurewith absolutely no movement now

Issue with headlights being too dim and unable to see at night. police has stopped me and confirmed that driving the car with the dim light make it not street legal. nissan dealer says there is no fix and only solution is to replace headlight assembly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving at unknown speeds, the headlights failed to produce adequate lighting. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 103,000. *dt*jb manufacturer was notified *jb

I have very dim headlights. i’ve tried led’s and the best halogens. i’ve cleaned inside of the projectors, but in a day or two, the projectors clouds up again. called nissan, and the would maybe give 300 bucks against 1500 to 1800. or i could drive with the high brights on.

The headlights are progressively getting more dim over time. lights are dim all the time, not related to idle or other functions. mileage is 72. 000 miles. night driving is hazardous. the headlights are lighting only a few feet in front of the car, not illuminating traffic signs, difficulty when making turns at a corner or driveway. i have to use my high beams at night, the high beams work fine but are a hazard for oncoming traffic. this is now a safety hazard that needs immediate attention.

Low beam lights are too low. it makes it difficult to see at night. i recently had the lights replaced as they had blew out. the replacement lights are extremely light. when driving on the highway i often times have to turn the lights off and turn back on as it appears to not be on. this is very dangerous to drive like this. 2014 vehicle should not have low beam issues as the car does.

At 53,000 miles the transmission would no longer function.transmission had to be replaced.at about 130,000 miles i notice that when headlights were on low beam you could barely see the road at night time.so i did some research on thi vehicle what i found out was on nissan altimas manufactured between 2013 -2015 have the same problem.you do not have sufficient lighting on low beam.you have to use high beam on dark roads.this is a major safety issue with these vehicles.i have had the nissan dealership in my local area new port richey put in the exact bulbs car came with from factory same issue poor lighting on low beam.i then had nissan dealership put in bulbs that i purchased on line these bulbs put out 8000 lumens and these bulbs are led bulbs.the factory nissan bulbs put out 1200 lumens and are halogen bulbs.both sets of bulbs i got same result insuffiecient lighting on low beam.the nissan technician told me i would have to replace both headlight assemblies at a cost of $700.00.i feel these headlight lens were a manufacturing defect without question therefore i feel nissan should be held liable for replacing the defective parts.i have receipts from dealership for work performed.i have also filed a complaint with the bbb autoline dept, and filed a compaint with nissan consumer affairs.this is a very hazardous situation and god forbid someone will lose their life over something like this.

The transmission is delayed once it gets to 2000 rpm and is not changing over

Headlights gradually went dim over time to point of being unusable. need to use high beams. replacing bulbs does not help. safety issue for driver of this vehicle as well as others that get hit with high beams.

This is the second transmission issue i've had in less than a year. the car began shaking in february and stopped on me while at a stop light. there have been no check engine lights or anything to alert me of an issue. now the car will hesitate severly before shifting gears. if i take the care out of park into drive or reverse, it takes upwards of 30 seconds for the car to engage into that gear. i have been stranded at home and at grocery stores due to the faulty transmission which i'm now being told needs to be replaced. i have had to endure random moments of shaking and even feeling as if the car has died while driving on the freeway. there have been no indicator lights regarding any issues with the car the car is less than 5yrs old and is a little over 100k miles i have been having transmission issues now for about almost a year.

Dim front light

Night time driving is almost impossible, low beams do not illuminate the road. it’s like driving with parking lights on, extremely dangerous!

Discovered the inadequately poor low-beam illumination level in 2017 when i had to replace the drivers-side headlamp. noticed the beam did not light up on my shirt when standing in front of the car. the passenger side lamp did. not greatly, but there was a beam on my shirt. replaced the low-beam lamp again and did both sides and the problem with poor illumination continued on the drivers side. at this point my 2014 model was out of warranty and i had started using my high-beam lights at night and lived with it. then discovered my car was not the only one and decided to submit this nhtsa complaint.

Both low beam headlights are extremely dim and do not produce enough light to drive safely at night. replacing the bulbs made no difference. high beams are ok.

The lighting on my car is extremely dim. i usually have to ride with my bright lights on just to see the road. we tried changing the bulbs and it did not help. this is a major safety hazard because at night you absolutely can not see. it happens on every road every day.

Poor visibility: when sunlight or artificial lights strikes the windshield at about 40 to 60 degrees, it prevents good visibility, specially when entering my garage. the problem becomes worse and under rainy-foggy conditions. making very difficult to see the road and the signs, spite of using the wind shield wipers and the defogger to the max. i went to the local nissan dealership to report this problem; i was told there was nothing wrong with the windshield. i sent a letter on 7/24/16 to nissan of north america to notify them of this problem. no written response given; a clerk or secretary called me to tell me to take the car back to the dealership. they told me again there in nothing wrong with the windshield. on august 30th, 2016 while driving with 2 passengers, the poor visibility of the windshield put us in serious risk of crash at an interstate highway. this problem needs immediate correction, before a fatality occurs.

The low beam on my nissan is lower than normal and is hard to see the road at night. i have to constantly drive with the lights on high beam.

Transmission is done. shuddering under power and rpms all over the place.

Transmission issues related to cvt transmission. causes car to stall or significantly delay when you press the gas. known issue but nissan will not cover without a “diagnosis” which is extremely difficult to get as the problem is persistent but intermittent. was told only way to fix the well known problem without a specific diagnosis on my vehicle is if there is an ntsb recall. given the significant risk associated with a car that stalls when you are pulling into traffic or making a left hand turn, i would like the ntsb to be aware of this and determine if the risk to the consumer outweighs the cost to the manufacturer.

The dealership informed me of the recalls. i was told to contact them as soon as possible. to set up an appointment to get it checked

I was driving my nissan altima home from the dealership on a busy street, similar to a highway and it kept stopping everytime i tried to take off. it would drive and turn off i would have to crank it back up and it would drive a bit and then abruptly turn back off. i took it back that same day and was assured nothing was wrong with it. the next month i was sitting at a red light on my way to work and as i put my foot on the gas when the light turned green it pulled off a bit and just turned off and wouldn't come back on. i later found out it was the transmission. my car has not been able to run since april

When i first bought the car brand new the headlights seemed fine, but over time i noticed they were getting dim, and now i can hardly tell the low beams are even on, the high beams seem to work just fine. so i tried changing the bulbs for low beams and it didn't help at all. something needs to be done before they fail all together and someone gets hurt or even killed.

The low beam headlights on my 2014 nissan altima are dangerously dim. difficult and dangerous to drive at night. need to use high beams to properly see the road. this is an extreme safety risk for myself, family and other cars on the road. i've read online that it is not a bulb replacement issue - but a light projector issue with the design of the headlights. a safety concern that nissan should be recalling to replace the defective headlights.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving various speeds with the low beam headlights activated, the lights failed to produce adequate illumination. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the bulbs were fractured. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (auto lenders, 6201 black horse pike, egg harbor twp, nj 08234, 888-305-5968) where it was diagnosed that a minor adjustment was needed. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 46,000.

Headlights on low beam are so dim that night driving is unsafe. i have to use high beams which could blind an oncoming driver. nissan dealership says there are no recalls and that i could replace the lens which is very expensive.

Headlights are extremely dim causing a driving and safety hazard. driving at night is almost impossible. i have owned this car for 4 years and within the last year this issue has only gotten worse. i have 3 kids actively involved in after school sports activities and at this point i fear for my family's safety.

Fuel tank detachment occurs. defective fasteners. rubbing sound occurs when turning, backing up and high speeds. first happened in july2018...had fuel tank completely replaced. now there's a problem again.

I purchased my 2014 nissan altima from a major car dealership in tallahassee, fl. march 31, 2018. the very day i took the car home i was leaving a family member's home and it was noticed the headlights were extremely dim. a diagnostic test was completed at nissan dealership in thomasville, ga. on the vehicle. the test yielded the projectors were malfunctioning. i commute in a car 80 miles (to/from work) 5 a day with headlights that have little to any projection from the head lights when i using the low beam lighting. when it rains my ability to see the lines on the road are almost impossible until i am able to return to the high beams. this is scary for me each night i am driving home given i am a female driving from work between the hours of 1:00 am and 2:00 am. it would seem this would be a priority to repair for the safety of person who have purchased these year model car. how many more people will need to be put in harms ways before a recall is made to repair this apparent issue?

Nissan altima 2014, 88000 miles. headlights are so dim that it is impossible to see directly in front of the car. very dangerous to be driving at night. it is not an issue with the bulbs, the whole headlight assembly has to be replaced. brights work fine.

The low beam headlights are very dim. i am concerned about driving at night as i cannot see very far in front of car unless i use high beams. noticed last year, seems to be even worse now.

The car is 4 years old and shut off in the middle of the road. this is not a safe vehicle and nissan should be held responsible.

I commute 100 miles a day and do not feel safe driving my vehicle once headlights are required. i also live in a rural area where there is limited to no street lighting. driving with high beams puts other drivers at risk so this is not safe option. nissan knowingly is putting drivers at risk as this problem affects 2013-2015 altima models--they should have corrected the problem. i may have to get rid of the car.

My 2014 nissian altima which i bought off the dealer lot brand new in 2014 has extremely dim lights that make it impossible to drive at night which is super unsafe because i cant even see more then about a foot in front of me and sometimes i get off late so now i have to drive at night and its if i didn't even have my lights on .

The airbag light comes on the dash and will not turn off. when the vehicle was brought to the dealership they stated the vin was not included on the vehicle recall list although we are encountering the same issues. the issue occurs whether the car is still or in motion and whether the seat is occupied or not. it’s not safe to have a passenger.

My car was loosing power and dying when put into gear or shortly after trying to go. thought it may be a alternator problem as i was loosing power. turns out it was the transmission. found out that my transmission was reprogrammed one year ago and now it needs a new transmission and only has 73,000 miles. i feel like this is a safety issue because when i placed the car in gear and started moving and it died on me crossing a major highway. no warning signs beforehand that anything was going on with the car.

Low beam headlights dim dealer says needs both complete headlight assemblies replaced this is a safety issue too dim to illuminate the street to drive at night

The headlights are so bad that it's a driving hazard when driving outside of areas with very good street lighting, or on rural roads. with the headlights (on low) you can't see "anything" and if some is walking, or biking, on the road (or if there is an animal), you don't see them until it's "too late". please force nissan to make re-call and change the healdights. there are several post on internet about it and it's clear is's not a "usage" issues, but just a bad design/product. i have not had an accident (yet) so this petition is to pre-positive one, to avoid that accidents happen.

On 8/31/2018, i took my 2014 nissan altima into the fred hass nissan svc, dept. for an oil change, in tomball tx and while there, reported that the supplemental air bag warning light was remaining on after 7 seconds and remained on all the while the vehicle was being driven. the service advisor stated that code found was cleared and no repair was recommended. on 9/5/2018, i spoke with (xxxx), svc, mgr. at fred nissan and informed him that the supplemental air bag warning light was on again. mr. (xxxx) made a 7am appointment for me to bring my vehicle to the svc. dept., on 9/6/2018 for further diagnosis and he would contact nissan for recommendations. later on, mr. (xxxx) informed me that he had spoken with someone at nissan and was told that nissan would not cover the cost of any current or future repairs to the supplemental air system, even though it was a safety issue. unfortunately, the gold extended warranty i purchased does not cover malfunctions of supplemental air bag system or any of its components. the supplemental air bag warning light continues to come on upon a cold and warm start and remains on while the vehicle is being driven.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact's vehicle was rear ended while idling at a traffic light. there was extensive damage to the rear of the vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. the contact received neck and back injuries and her spouse suffered back injuries. medical attention was received. a police report was filed. the vehicle was repaired by a local mechanic. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was informed of the failure. the failure mileage was 15,000. *tt vehicle purchase date should be on or before incident date *jb

The low-beam lights suddenly became dim. it is almost impossible to see at night. the lamps are much dimmer than the day before.

I was driving my 2014 nissan altima with my 2 year old in the car on the highway when my sunroof shattered, sounding like a gun shot. i had the sunroof replaced shortly after purchasing my car in 2014 for leaks. i haven’t had any problems since until today (9/5/18). we were traveling on us 75n near collins road at the time of the incident. i’m not aware of anything that would have caused this random occurrence.

While deiving at night, the low beams /headlights are not bright at night it’s very difficult to see my husband drives the car but i drove it at night last night and i noticed it for the first time i think it should be brighter i have to keep flashing the high beams to make sure

Changing (or even upgrading) the light bulbs has not improved night vision. the dim lights are a safety hazard to the people in my car and to others on the street.

I last month filed a complaint with the nthsa about my 2014 altima's bad transmission. i had contacted nissan usa multiple times. they first acknowledged liability (even though it is out of warranty) and offered to pay the part (new transmission). but on aug 15, 2018, they claimed that since the local dealer "cannot duplicate the concern", my car is "okay to drive", denying any responsibility of any future accidents or damage. my local dealership nissan maguire does not agree with nissan usa. the car is not in good operable condition. when i shift the gear to drive, the stepping on the gas does not deliver power to the engine for 2-3 seconds. so, when i stop on the hill and put it to drive, the car rolls down for seconds until it moves forward. but nissan usa renounced its liability and refused to provide a new transmission. i asked what if i get involved in an accident and all they said is contact them when it happens. i think they are accomplict in murdering me and others on the road.

In december 2016 with approximately 40k miles on odometer, the car stalled at an intersection. after starting again, it stalled each time while putting it in gear. after a tow to nissan dealer, they informed me of a transmission problem. they mentioned replacing the transmission, but decided to change an internal component (i don't remember what part) to the transmission instead of the whole thing, which at the time i was o.k. with because i wasn't pleased a 2 1\2 year old car with 40k miles which i bought brand new should need a transmission replacement (especially wasn't pleased it would have been with a rebuilt one). it ran ok afterwards, but something wasn't the same as when it was new. several times i reported a problem with the revs just before the car comes to a complete stop. rpm's would spike and then dip down low like the car was going to stall before leveling out again. i brought the car to the dealer couple times afterwards and they explained it was normal and similar models they tested did the same thing. fast forward to august 2018, the car now has 65k miles and the problem with stalling while driving it has re-occurred. another tow to dealer and now they suggest a $4000+ transmission replacement (with a rebuilt one). not a happy nissan owner! have read many online complaints with this year and model vehicle (2014 nissan altima) with same problem. nissan should be held accountable and declare a recall on these cars. not safe to drive as they can stall out at any time endangering lives! something must be done.

The car suddenly shut off while driving on the highway. it did not restart right away. after trying several times the car started. also, it would slow down while driving up hill until the car stopped. after waiting several minutes and flooring the gas petal the car continued forward. my safety concern is the car suddenly shutting down while driving on a highway. the car was checked out by a mechanic today, he said the transmission needs to be replaced.

My vehicle has been sputtering and jerking since i first purchased it. i have taken it to my local dealership and they kept dismissing me saying there are no warnings dash lights on . the car died in a store parking lot and i had it towed to a local shop. the codes indicated a tech service bulletin that states "needs a new transmission". now my local dealership is denying this is the correct code and it only needs some minor adjusting. i have been dealing with this for over a year and now my power train warrant expires in less than 100 miles. initially they agreed with me and told me it needs the transmission replaced, but now they have denied it. i do not feel safe in this vehicle. it sputters,jerks, hesitates and loses acceleration and it is scary to have to drive it. i do not know where to go from here.

Last year cvt was slipping, delayed acceleration when at a stop light then trying to drive, they updated software. same thing happened out of nowhere the other day. no prior transmission issues and the car had delayed acceleration twice when i stopped at lights, then minutes later i turn onto a busy street and the cvt transmission slipped, causing my car to rev up to 4rpm but barely go 20 mph. being told by nissan the entire transmission needs to be replaced. only has 82000 miles. no prior transmission issues.

I put the car in drive. the transmission grinded and the motor stalled. i was stopped at a red light with my foot on the brake and the motor continued to stall. the transmission clunks and sputters. it only has 58,000 miles. these cars should be recalled requiring nissan to replace the transmissions.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 35 mph, the steering wheel seized. as a result, the contact had difficulty keeping the vehicle in the correct lane. the vehicle was taken to dave smith nissan (6901 e sprague ave, spokane, wa 99212, (509) 924-6242) where it was diagnosed that there was an electrical failure in the steering wheel. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 23,000.

The double safety feature of pressing the break to start the car becomes void when the caliper has an issue even without the brake light engaging to show an issue. the car is tricked into thinking that the break is being pressed and will allow you to start it with just pressing the start button. my 8yr old was in the car playing while i was cleaning it and was also able to put the car in gear due to the mechanical system reading that the break was engaged. the car also continues to run after the key is removed and you can drive off with no key in the car. i

I was driving my car with the a/c on and it was cooling fine, once i stopped at a red light the system start blowing hot air. i took it to the dealer which they put .5 of freon in and said the a/c should be fine, but after a few hours the problem recurred.

Shortly after the first year the car began hesitating and eventually went on to completely cut off while my family and i were traveling. the transmission was replaced under warranty. i didn't have that particular problem for another year after the new transmission. the dealerships would always say they could not supplicate my concern. the problem persisting. i'm afraid to pull out in traffic because it stalls, jerks or hesitates. i won't allow my children to drive it because it is just too dangerous. both my husband and i have paid taken it for diagnosis the past 6 months. i'm taking it yet again tomorrow. i cannot figure out the pattern. it seems to be worse once pausing after a long drive > 50 miles. while traveling this weekend, i paused at the highway off-ramp and it wouldn't accelerate beyond 15 mph. the check engine light came on this time. i pulled over and cut the car off. it did finally go but the rmps still idled highly. there are some days the problem isn't prevalent and the drive seems smooth. that's what makes it so dangerous. i have to wait until there's no traffic before attempting to turn or pull into traffic.

The driver side coil spring, which is part of the front suspension, broke. this part uses almost 3/8 inch steel, and when it breaks under compression, can cause serious damage, and potential vehicle stability issues on the highway. the vehicle involved is only 4 years old with 44000 miles, which is not much mileage on this vehicle. this part should not have failed and is considered a defect in my opinion. we were fortunate that our vehicle was local, and not on the highway when this happened. there was no tire damage when the spring snapped. we had a mechanic replace the spring within the week.

Airbag exploded with metal scraps , when i put my hand up over my face , airbag spued out metal scraps that gave me permanent scar inch in diameter on left wrist. and tramatic brain injury from airbag hit. airbag needs to be recalled! see also odi 11083508. *dsy

Every since i bought the car it has had low visibility at night i complained about it to them it is going to end up costing over 1500 to fix it but they wait to the warranty is out to tell me this nissan should have done put out a recall on them but won't due to the cost i can't even drive my car at night any more may let it go back the cars came out with bad parts in them when you tell them bout things wrong they push it off till warranty runs out that tells you they already knew bout it

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate as the accelerator pedal was depressed. in addition, the check engine and abs warning indicators illuminated. the engine was turned off and the vehicle was restarted, but the vehicle failed to accelerate at a high rate of speed. the vehicle was driven slowly to the contact’s residence. the dealer (universal nissan, 12785 s orange blossom trail, orlando, florida 32837) was called and made aware of the failure, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened case number: 31323934. the approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

When trying to start the vehicle it takes 3 or 4 times to turn over and start i know it is not the battery just got a new battery with 60 month warranty.

The passenger tie rod became disconnected at the point where the inner and outer were bolted together. because i was stranded on the side of the road at 2:00 am saturday morning i needed to have the vehicle towed to a repair shop. the owner was surprised that i was needing replacement on a 2014. after inspecting the vehicle he found that the bolt was not secured and bolted all the way down. both sides need replacement although i can only afford to fix one side now. he did explain it was a safety hazard and needed to be replaced asap. he believed it came this way from the manufacturer, because tie rods last much longer than 3-4 years. i was driving on a city street making a left hand u turn at about 5 milled an hour when my car came to a stop. thought my transmission went out. got out at looked at my front tire that was turned to the left and could see the tie rod separated.

My car has transmission problem where it judders, shakes, vibrates, and at times cuts off. after some research i found this is a known problem with multiple voluntary service campaigns. nissan has refused to honor the free service campaigns and just wants me to pay $4000 for a new transmission. this new of a car should not have these issues. this happens while driving which is dangerous, it has turned off while on the interstate

I was driving on a road going appx 35 mph. stopped at a traffic light, and my engine shut off and my car drifted. the brakes wouldnt even work. my radio and lights remained functional. i turned the car off and restarted it and when i put it in drive or reverse, it shut down again. the engine only stayed on in neutral or park.

1) frontal passenger air bag. it always says off, even when there’s a passenger. i’m not sure whether this is a takata inflator. (this occurs every time all the time when the engine is running, wether idleing, drive, neutral and reverse) 2) headlights. the headlights (both) continually get dimmer and dimmer until you are unable to see causing a very dangerous situation. (this occurs every time all the time when the engine is running, wether idleing, drive, neutral and reverse)i have had or changed my light bulb(s) at least (6) times in the 16 months i have had the vehicle. i have been stopped by law inforcement several times and a livery driver i have had customer complaints.

The low beam headlights do not project enough light to drive safely at night. this issue has gotten worse over time forcing the constant use of high beams in order to drive after dark. driving with low beams creates a safety issue because the low beams only illuminate about a car length and driving constantly with high beams also creates a safety hazard. i replaced the bulbs 3 times in 3 months choosing brighter bulbs each time, as well as buying factory bulbs from the nissan dealer, but nothing changed.

I purchsed this car feb 2nd 2019 couple days later engine light comes on so car has 30day warranty so i call and they had me go there mechanic put in the shop. a code for 02 sensors came up but he say he just need replace cadillac converter he didnt need replace sensors so 5 days later i pick up car and 3 days after light comes back on i call complain on way coming from another city hour away and noticing car jerking and loosing power on hwy on way mechanic car breaks down im stranded with baby for hour they tow they shop say it was fuel.pumps i get car thinking things good i make a 300 paymemt since i still owed 1500 on down payment days later light comeson again smoke comes out back car when i start. it. in morning car jerks back real hard when i get on hwy or hesitate pick up speed engine making rattling noise and oil pressure sensor on i take it for 2nd opnion before taking back there mechanic and the thing they suppose fix still shows need be fix mass air flow sensor and then oil pressure sensor and spark plus so i tell mechanic did yall even fix mass flpw sensor cause same code pop up he says some times new parts can act faulty but dont worry we fix it. got warranty but he gotta ask permission about spark plugs and oil pressure sensor so he ask me when i can come in i say friday the night before my appt car breaks down 40 min. on hwy car looses power lights dont work head lighs dont work car key wont open doors or trunk and im getting i key system error i go replace battery that didnt help so saturday they tow car and send me a repo letter since im behind payment cause im not gonna keep paying on car thats breaking down leaving me stranded at this point i gave them 3 tries so i just want my 1500 plus 300 back even tho warranty expired i did adress this 3 times before it expired

Low dim headlights in front of vehicle. makes it extremely hard to drive vehicle at night without high beams.

The vehicle has dim lighting and is getting worse as time goes by. it is difficult to see at night and i use the high beams to be able to see the dark roadways and signs, which causes blindness to oncoming traffic. it is very difficult to see and i believable that nissan will not take responsibility over this. replacing bulbs does not fix the issue nor does warranty cover the cost.

My 2014 nissan altima headlights are very dim and i have to drive with brights on just to see at night. this is a real safety concern. i have replaced the bulbs twice with led and hid and they have not fixed the problem.

I am issuing a complaint about my 2014 nissan altima due to the extreme dullness of headlight power. nissan has failed to acknowledge this issue, and the fact that is indeed a safety concern. there have been many times where i have had to slam on my breaks because i nearly hit a large animal or other object in the road. my headlights do not project far or wide. id estimate they project 4 feet in front of me, i have tried adjusting the headlights up and changing to very expensive and high quality led bulbs, with no improvement.

When driving in the late evening or night time,i am unable to see the street ahead of me while driving. my low beam lights are very dim. i noticed this about four months ago. my vehicle currently have approximately 79400 miles on it. i have googled this situation and found that this is common among nissan altimas in this time frame.

The headlights especially the driver side i can barely see from. i thought headlight was out of adjustment and got it checked and they said it appears to be a flaw with the reflectors. i can not see anything hardly from the driver side headlight. i have to drive with high beams on. also after searching this type of issue i found that several other people have complained about the same issue.

Driver side headlight is very dim and very hard to see at night. i replaced the bulb, but after replacing the bulb it still very dim on driver side headlight. its very hard to drive at night with this poor lighting. if i drive with high beams other cars flash me to lower the light because i blind them with the high beams.

Low beam headlights are extremely dim. i even replace them with hid and led light but no change very low visibility at night

The bulbs are fading and have been replaced. my research shows that i am not the only owner finding this problem.

The headlights are barely visible on low beam at night and the new bulbs will not fix the problem. i spoke with someone at nissan dealership and they know this is common problem but they are not doing anything to fix it. this is a very real safety issue for the dirver , as it is impossible to drive at night

I have a 2014 nissan altima sv, and the low-beam headlights are dangerously dim. i also did some online searches and find that other altima owners are experiencing the same problem. the dim low beam is obviously a safety issue! the cloudy projector lens is the reason! because, firstly i replaced the bulbs, but there was no change; secondly, the high beam works perfectly, indicating the there is no problem with the outer transparent shield. the high beam bulb lies in a regular reflection bowl rather than in a projector like the low beam used. other vehicles equipped with regular reflection bowl for low beam works perfectly, such as 2007 buick lucerne (12 years age!). therefore, the design of the low beam using a projector on 2014 nissan altima is defective, putting the driver and passengers into danger when the low-beam headlights getting dim. they need to open a recall and replace the headlight assembly as soon as possible.

My car started "sputtering" and shutting off when in motion or coming to a stop. the car then started to rev the engine between 2-3rpm when i was driving at a constant speed. when i was driving on a major highway, the car revved past 4rpm and completely shut off without warning. i was luckily able to stop the car, but no one should ever have to endure that dangerous and potentially catastrophic event. i took my car to the nissan dealer and they said that my transmission needed to be replaced. it is apparent that nissan had knowingly sold cars with faulty transmissions that would fail far before an acceptable time with many consumers facing the high cost of repairing the transmission. as i was hoping this was a one-off situation and that no one else experienced this, but it looks like this is a frequent complaint for the nissan altima 2014. nissan should be held responsible for the transmission replacement and extend their power train warranty to 120,000 miles or 10 years as they have for their car models from 2003-2010.

The headlights are very dim. bulbs have been replaced and no change in lighting. at night the lights are so dim that you cannot see if anything is in the street ahead. i have to wait until i pull behind someone to see if the lights are still on. this is very dangerous and i have read many complaints of this same problem. i was told that the battery was low. replaced the battery and no change in the lighting. something needs to be done about this. i have not had an accident but something is bound to happen to someone sooner or later due to this problem. i don't feel someone should be injured or killed before something is done about the problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 50 mph, there was an abnormal noise under the hood. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the transmission failed and drained the torque. the failure recurred. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 90,000.

Driver side low beam is extremely dim. had it looked at. headlight housing. $700. at night i can't see so i have to keep my high beams on.

My 2014 nissan altima’s headlights have become very dim the past couple years. i am aware that other people are having problems with their nissan headlights as well. this is very dangerous especially at night. i can barely see unless my headlights are on. this problem has also been dangerous in the rain and i’ve almost gotten in accidents. nissan needs to recall the headlights. i know other people with an altima between 2013-2015 who have gotten in accidents because of the very dim headlights. my husband has a jeep and his headlights are noticeably better. nissan cannot day their vehicle is safe if this is happening. it’s simply not true.

Low beams are extremely dim creating a safety hazard. forced to use high beams to see the road. internet is filled with same complaint. may be the design that presents a projection problem. has been ongoing, but getting worse with time.

The headlights are too dim to drive safely at night. you cannot see more than a few feet in front of the car. high beams must be used to see on roads that have no street lights. i have hit multiple things in the road when the vehicle is in motion at night due to the fact that i can not see them until it is too late to maneuver out of the way.

The last couple months i noticed the headlight were getting dimmer. i replaced the bulbs with ones that are 60% brighter but it was marginally brighter. i can barely see a few feet in front if it’s completely dark. i can see my car’s shadow cast from the lights of the car behind me. i cannot tell if the lights are on until i’m right behind a vehicle. road signs are barely luminated and i have to switch to high beams if there are no cars ahead of me.

Headlights (normal driving) are extremely dim. difficult to see at time, using foglights and high beams to make safe.

Transmission, called "throw away transmission" by 3 different mechanics. code came on during freeway driving. have been told by 3 mechanics (including the nissan dealer) nothing can be done but replace the transmission.

The low beam headlights all of a sudden went so dim tonight driving on highway...i almost wrecked 3 times...it is like driving with no headlights at all....i even stopped at store to check if they were on. yes they were on. this is very dangerous.

When in traffic coming to a stop the engine will die. it will restart ok but usually dies as soon as placed in reverse or drive. dealer says the cvt transmission is defective and is not covered by warranty.

Low beams on headlights no longer light up enough to safely drive above 25 mph. they have progressively gotten worse over time. it is a know fact that the film inside the projector lens is failing, but no recall has been issued. how many accidents or even deaths need to occur before this will be taken care of. my car only has 50,000 miles on it, so it would be considered a low mileage vehicle.

I started experiencing problems with my vehicle about a year ago. while driving the car seem to not change gears. i had to coast to the side of the street, turn the vehicle off and restart it which made the vehicle to what i call "reset". this did not happen again until months later. now my vehicle from time to time, while driving the vehicle seem as if it will not go when i accelerate from a stop in traffic. i thought it need transmission fluid. i discovered that it requies ctv transmission fluid and can only be done at a dealership which was not true. my local certified transmission repair center said they could perform a diagnostic for $99, which we did. we are now being told that the transmission need to be replaced and that this was a problem on most of the nissan altima's. replacement would cost about $4,800. why hasn't nissan recalled these vehicles after so many complaints?

My 2014 nissan altima has 68,000 miles. while driving on the highway about 60 mph, my car would not accelerate when pushing the gas. this was very unsafe. luckily i was able to pull over. after several minutes i was able to accelerate again. i immediately took it to nissan. they told me the cvt transmission was bad and that i would have to pay almost $4,000 to replace it.

The hood popped open and flew up while driving, damage to the fender on both sides, roof and hood. nissan recalled altimas three times in the past to repair hood latches that can cause hoods to fly open however there is no recall campaign associated with enclosed vin number. damages were handled by insurance company.

The transmission was replaced at around 25,000 miles which they told us twice before finally replacing that nothing was wrong with it. the car would roll while in park and stall after transmission was replaced no issues until now. around 68,000 miles the car now has a slight hesitation and will stall. took it to the shop and a code of p0776 was thrown. service in fine light never came on and still isn’t on. talked to a few shops and they all told me this is the third most looked up code for nissan. nissan warranty is only 1 year and 12,000 miles on their transmission. that makes no sense to me either with such a short month and mileage as well. now we are having to possibly buy another transmission for a car with only 68,000 miles with a pretty much new transmission. how does a transmission go out with only 43,000 miles on it. with the issues now this happened while the car was being driven. to sum it up the gas pedal had to be pushed to the floor to get to 70 miles an hour while on the ga400.

Took car in for cvt recall on 3/12/2018 , car was fine before the recall update was done, when i pick the car up it vibrates on acceleration and going down hills with a locking motion , the car was driving perfect until they did the recall update , dealer can’t explain why this problem happens after recall of cvt, clearly it cause a transmission problem after recall is implemented

The hood latch is defective-hard to close and becomes a hazard if driven-automatically pops up while vehicle is moving

My engine is making a raddling noise every time i accelerate then goes into an even worse noise like there's some sort of crack in the casing or a loose bolt inside the engine compartment. the breaks squeak every time i go into a stop motion. i've made a appointment before with carmax before and they've spent 5 hours in which none of the initial issues that i drove to austin for. and since that appointment no one has answered my calls to set up another and the two major issues are just getting worse.

Bought a new nissan altima and we have transmission problems with only 74,196 miles.

My vehicle stopped on the highway in a busy evening traffic. for 10 minutes i was not able to do, but sit idle. after that car started but it was juddering and shaking every time i used to stop at red light or stop sign. the vibrations were very violent and scary. even, in neutral, car engine revs up to 2k-3k rpm without accelerating. nissan company and dealer are not helping and putting my life in danger as i could have got hit by another car/ trailer.

The air bag light came on showing the airbag for the driver is no longer working. i thought there was a recall on it since i have heard and read online this has been a common problem. same with the engine light glitch i have read is a common problem which doesn’t allow my car to accelerate properly when that light is on.

Headlight bulbs work but both headlamp assemblies seem to be defective in not lighting up the road. i have read there is a issue with the backing in the headlamp assemblies failing due to heat from the bulbs and not producing proper lighting.

The low beam headlights are very dim.bulb replacement does not help.

Cvt failed on the highway with 90,500 miles on car. vehicle was in motion at highway speed then suddenly slowed almost to a stop. dealer tried to perform the cvt programming recall but said transmission was shot. $4,500 to replace. one owner car all highway miles.

Can’t see while driving. headlights awful. $700 per side to replace. dealership says been a lot of issues with this and saw a class action lawsuit started online.

My transmission failed after only 85,000 miles. i was stopped at a highway exit ramp stop light when it failed.

The cvt transmission is stuttering between gears, has hesitation, vibrations, and does not shift properly. i took the vehicle to a nissan dealer on 11/15/2017 with 76k miles and they told me i needed to change the transmission fluid. i had them change the fluid and the transmission was worse. the problem got a little better, but never went away. it never generated a code for a specific problem, but the service advisor said there is a problem with the transmission thinking it is in overdrive and not reacting properly. it is now a year later and another 30k miles and the transmission is still stuttering with vibrations at every speed and even on cruise control.

The sun visor on the driver side has malfunctioned. it does not stay in its normal upright position. it hangs about a quarter of the way down and moves around during turns, making it even more of a safety hazard than it already was because in an accident or a hard braking situation, the driver is going to hit their head on it.

There is a major safety issue with the dim headlights of this 2014 nissan altima; it seems to get worst as the car ages to the point of i can no longer see at night. other drivers stop me to ask if i have on my headlights. as a result, i have to continuously drive with high beams on, which could be unsafe and impact oncoming driver's vision.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled at a stop light. the engine revved, but the vehicle would not accelerate. the dealer (crown nissan of decatur, 165 w pershing rd, decatur, il 62526, (217) 615-1047) diagnosed that there was internal transmission failure. the dealer and manufacturer opened a case and agreed to reimburse the contact for 90% of the repair cost. the repair would consist of installing a re-manufactured transmission covered by a 12 month or 12,000 mile warranty. the contact researched online and found that there was a class action lawsuit filed against the manufacturer because the re-manufactured transmission had a history of failing. the failure mileage was 68,000. *bf update 2/20/19*jb

Complaint involving low beam headlights very dangerous.

In my 2014 nissan altima the lights have dimmed so bad you can barely see 2 feet in front of you at night. it makes it very hazardous in night and rainy conditions

The low beam headlights over a period of time have become dimmer and dimmer. we replaced the bulbs thinking they were burned out. it did not help. at night i have to ride with my high beams because i cannot see 1 foot in front of my car on low beams. it's like driving with them off. i purchased this vehicle july 12, 2017. it is a safety hazard to drive at night.

Airbag indicator stays on on my dashboard when the ignition is turned on and even after the car is in motion or is in still position.

Over the past several months the low beam headlights have been steadily deteriorating to the point they have become a safety hazard. the initial thought that the bulbs required replacement; however, this has not remedied the issue. the headlight lenses are not yellowed or fogged over, and the headlight bulbs are brand new high-quality headlight lamps. there is no other known issue with the headlights. the high beam work without issue and it is becoming more frequent to where the high-beams are needed to supplement nighttime lighting in areas where liow beams should be more than sufficient. the low beam lighting is at the point to where it is becoming a hazard to me as the driver; but also, is becoming a hazard to oncoming drivers, as the use of high-beam lighting is being used more frequently. the brighness of the low beam light does not change if the vehicle is parked, standing, or in motion, and the dim lighting is most hazardous when driving around corners or on dark roads without street lighting. the car has not been seen by nissan or a mechanic because it is out of the warranty period and estimates to inspect the lighting issue begins at $80. a simple internet search indicates that this is a frequent issue, and i would appreciate any feedback or information the nhtsa might be able to provide on this and related issues.

I understand and am experiencing a serious issue with dim headlights that seems to be a common problem with many altimas. the head lights are so dim now that it is extremely difficult to see the road under normal night driving conditions, and it is magnified during inclement weather. i am also very concerned that i'm not going to see someone crossing the road which i encountered, and luckily the person had reached the other side of the road as i was just about to enter the crosswalk! there is no question that this is safety issue to all drivers of altimas, their passengers and pedestrians. as i hadn't expected this problem i really wasn't paying attention to it until i read an article that this is a common issue of which i am confused as to why it has not yet been addressed. thanks for accepting my compliant.

Low beam lights do not work. had bulbs changed and it is no better at all. when you turn on low beam you cannot see 1 ft in front of you and have to basically stop in the middle of the road till the oncoming car has passed. very, very dangerous !!

The headlights have become very dim over time. both light bulbs have been replaced, but it is like driving with no headlights! i often have to drive with high beams on so i can see at night! having high beams on is a danger for other drivers. nissan is aware of the problem and will not do anything about this. there has to be some way to make them fix the problem. hopefully before someone is injured or killed because of nissan's negligence!

Headlights are very dim, cannot see too far ahead while driving at night

I have had continous transmission since i have had my vehicle. i purchased a brand new 2014 nissan altima 2.5sl. it was replaced in 2015 new transmission by the dealership. however, as recent as may i had transmission issues that resulted in cvt getting fixed. then in july similiar issue which dealership reported there was an update needed on my car, a selonid needed to be replaced. after spending over 2,000 on my car it is still not fixed. the check engine light is back on and not able to accelarate on the highway. this has caused a definite safety issue and is an ongoing issue that nissan and the dealership need to address. i am requesting reimubursement, extension of warranty, and for my transmission cvt to be fixed and if further issues occur nissan needs to comply with fixing it.

In august of 2017 my 2014 nissan altima's torque converter fragmented pieces of itself into my transmission fluid. this resulted in my car tugging and shuddering while driving under speeds of 30 mph including slowing down and accelerating. at a point my vehicle turned off while in drive and i took my vehicle back to the selma nissan dealership. after a week of no finding of the issue it was brought to fresno lithia with the same result of no finding of the issue. a year later the vehicle produced the same problems and again the vehicle shut off while in drive and i immediately took the vehicle back to the fresno lithia dealership for a full inspection again. upon further identification they noted that this has become a common problem with 2013 & 2014 nissan altimas as the torque converter will become stuck and while shifting and force the vehicle to stall and shut off. this is a common problem and yet i had to pay for a new transmission for my vehicle. i've called nissan corporate at (615) 725-7154 and they informed me they do not conduct recalls. i see that if this transmission problem is so common why is it not on a recall and i should not have to pay for this fix on my 4 year old car. i'm a marine veteran with a 2 month old baby and $3500 for a transmission is not cheap for me in my position. i do have documentation from 3 dealerships noting i brough in my vehicle with the occurring problem dating back a year ago. i also have printed documentation of my new transmission for my vehicle and positive test result of my vehicle performing 4 out of 10 times of vehicle shuddering and turning off. this problem seems to be swept under the rug by nissan as they might fear a recall of their vehicles.

I was completely stopped a busy intersection waiting to make a left turn. with no warning the car jerked forward. the force of the jerking motion was so great that i initially thought i was rear ended. the car started sputtering like it was going to shut off, i had cars in front and back of me and had no where to go. i shifted the car into park to try and give it some gas to keep it from shutting off and it immediately shut down. i tried starting the car again and it immediately shut down as soon as i tried to shift into drive. i did this multiple times and the car kept shutting down. i was finally able to keep my foot on the brake and the gas at the same time and keep the car running. i made it to work thankfully i was only two blocks away and had to have the car towed back home. i was shaking and scared to death. i could have been killed!! i later found out the cvt transmission failed and will cost aprox $4000! this car is only 4 years old. after doing some research and reading all of the complaints about this car and the transmission.. i am shocked that nissan is still allowed to continue with this "death trap" of a car! someone is going to get hurt in this car!!

While backing out of my driveway, i notice the steering wheel was stiff. i could not steer the car properly. i had to keep a tight grip on the steering wheel while exiting onto the street. i put the car in park turning the steering wheel in various directions, the stiffness in the steering wheel could be felt with each turning of the wheel. while driving and preparing to stop, the steering while would almost lock causing the car to drift. i applied the brake and held tightly on the steering wheel.

Front headlights very dim at night. cannot see road.very poor visibility. replaced bulbs and it did not improve the visibility.

Front headlights are very dim at night. very poor visibility. cannot see the road. replaced light bulbs and it did not improve the problem at all.

When starting vehicle and attempting to move gear shifter into a different gear from park, gear shifter won't move. after restarting the vehicle multiple times is when it'll work. foot is pressed on brake.

Last week (july 19, 2018) my family was on a trip back from nyc to ithaca. when we arrived in the ithaca area and stopped the car at a red light, the engine shut off. we were able to push the engine button again to restart the car. so, i thought it was not a big deal. two days later, the engine turned off at a red light on the road and it did not move. cars behind me kept honking and my daughter cried in horror. the engine was ignited when i push the engine button and the shift is in park. but as soon as i put it in drive, the engine shut off again. then i had to put it in park, pushed the engine button, it was turned on. when i put it back to drive, the engine shut off. i did not know what to do. after several attempts for a few minutes, i was able to keep the engine alive in drive and drove the car, and parked the car in front of the dealership. i barely managed to do that. the dealership says i need a new transmission. i realized that i am not the only one.

Electro hydraulic steering has faulty software. at freeway speeds, you need to constantly adjust steering to keep vehicle centered.

My low beam headlights were getting dim, but i thought it was just the bulb going bad but both at the same time, took out the bulbs and they were as bright as ever . in reading on line , i found so many people with the same problems and nissan knows about this . i almost killed someone last night because i could not see them because of the lights. until someone actually gets killed , i don't think anyone will do anything about it, but nissan knows and they will not recall.

I was nearly killed when my 2014 nissan altima with 114k miles abruptly lost ability to accelerate while i was on the highway during morning rush hour commute. after being towed and inspected at the dealership, i was hit with the news that i needed a new cvt!! this is a huge danger as it happens without warning and this technology needs to be pulled before someone gets killed. i almost was!!

Recall to reprogram cvt done 10/4/17 at nissan. 12/6/17 vehicle began rapidly dropping speed while driving on highway without me applying brakes. very dangerous since there were no brake lights to alert other vehicles behind me to decrease speed. turned hazards on & made it to slow lane, then shoulder of the road. it wouldn’t go back into drive for 15 mins. once i could it drive again, it continued to have decreased speed. at traffic light it wouldn’t accelerate in drive & i had to wait awhile before it did. drove to mechanic for diagnosis & they said it should be taken to nissan. had to be drug onto a flatbed to be towed a very short distance since it would no longer shift into drive, reverse or neutral. service advisor at east charlotte nissan said it needed new transmission & gave a $4,200 quote. he said this was known issue with cvt transmission, many with less than 30,000 miles but those were still under manufacturer warranty. had new nissan factory remanufactured transmission installed (they said it had to be a cvt because vehicle won’t take any other transmission) which also failed after just one week. they shipped & installed another one & it has been doing okay for 2 wks now. forums sight many drivers with similar symptoms & dangerous incidents while driving & say the “new” cvts fail again which happened to me. nissan should be forced to recall this defective technology that’s dangerous to driver safety. nissan should be responsible for cost of the recall as owners have no choice but to replace transmissions, a huge repair. it cost me $3,600 and i will retain my copies. they know they have a problem with the technology, not just in the altima. they don’t have an alert on nhtsa website to warn consumers against buying their unsafe vehicles. this request is to prevent fatalities not that an accident occurred in my case.

The low beam on my altima 2014 sv 4cy. 2.5l, is totally inadequate. there is minimal visibility at night with low beam, creating a very hazardous problem on the roadway. this is not a unique problem on my altima, it is a major problem on most of the 2013, 2014, 2015, etc. models. this is obviously a production problem with the nissan altima. changing bulbs to a higher quality has not resolved the problem and nissan dealership has quoted approx. $1000.00 to rectify the problem. this is a safety issue and i as well as others think the manufacturer should recall and address this problem since it is a serious safety hazard..

My 2014 nissan altima "sl" broken seat frame. the seat started rocking while driving. thinking it just needed the seat screws tightened, i was looking for the screws and found out it was the seat frame and this is not a unique problem but happens with nissan products. the seat may break causing the back support to unexpectedly recline while driving and cause an accident. i found this online while trying to figure out "how to repair nissan" https://youtu.be/imsvbjqgvkw .. the problem is not unique to altima's but murano's as well. the rocking takes place while sitting and driving. very noticeable when breaking and accelerating. also this car is dangerous because of the defective seat, seat frame.

Takata recall..... it states when you put the vin number in that my car was not in the recall. my husband and i are in our late 70's and early 80's and love the car, but are now afriad to drive the car because of the airbags. can you please have these airbags replaced for our safety. i know these takata airbags have already been recalled, why was my car not included? nissan dealer states that there is no, takata airbags. for my safety and that of my husband. i would like to have my airbags replaced and free for charge, because of the hassle that i'm going through.

A few months back i took my 2014 nissan altima, 4-cylinder to the nissan dealership for a recall that was in connection with recall with the software of the transmission of some sort. i did not receive notice but was advised of this recall when i took my vehicle to nisaan to get services for an oil change. the recall was completed. since having the recall complete my vehicle has been having transmission issues. at times i am driving on the freeway and the car shudders and loses power. i have come close twice to an auto collision as i am shifting lanes my car completely loses power and drops speed without my control with he rpm dropping drastically but regaining within seconds. the car jerks and shudders. i have had another family test as well and has said that the car is unsafe and something is wrong. i researched and see a multitude of complaints identical to mine to this particular year and model. i am taking to the dealer to have diagnostic complete and have explained that my vehicle was fine prior to the software adjustment with the transmission. i have been told that they are not sure if this is the issues and possibly i will get stuck with paying whatever repairs. this is completely unfair to the consumer having to pay out of pocket for a transmission defect that thousands of nissan owners are having the issues and nothing seems to be done to remedy this unsafe vehicle. i would like investigation to be done on this and in the event that while i am driving this vehicle and this occurs causing an accident i will hold the manufacturer at fault for allowing this vehicle to go un-repaired for a faulty transmission that thousands of consumers are complaining about as being a "lemon of a car" and "unsafe." the date this issue last occurred with me driving my vehicle was around 8:30a.m. on january 5, 2018.

While coming to a stop, the car shook to a stop , engine revved up and shut off.. i was at a busy stop light intersection. i turned car engine back on and press the gas pedal , then car shut off again. i tried one more time and was able to steer car into parlor. we are afraid to drive car, had it towed to dealership. the mechanic has the vehicle gor 18 days and cannot get it to duplicate our problem. i golfed this problems and there is a nationwide problem with cars that gave this type of transmission. the car could shut down and cause accident and we would not be able to prove that the engine turned off. please help, this is dangerous.

Tamara recall- my air bag sensors supposedly have been replaced but i still occasionally get the issue when someone is sitting in my passenger seat.

I’ve had my sunroof replaced back in 2014- 10 months after purchasing my 2014 altima because it was leaking rain water into my vehicle. fast forward to now, it’s still leaking water into my vehicle and now i’m seeing reports of spontaneous shattering of the sunroofs. i am concerned about mine shattering with my toddler in the vehicle.

My check engine light came on today. took my car to baker nissan dealership for them to put it on diagnostic machine. i was charged $135. no work was done since i am out of warranty and extended warranty. they told me the engine was misfiring. two codes appeared p0304 and p0300. in order to replace 1 ignition coil it was $357 for parts and labor. to replace all 4 ignition coils and spark plugs it is $1023.

Hood won’t stay latched

Both of my headlamps are defective and nissan has recognized this as a manufacture's defect but has refused to issue a recall. they are only covering the parts and not labor. by accepting to pay part is an admission of guilt on nissan's part. the nissan dealer's mechanic (coral springs nissan 954-753-1700)has admitted this is a common issue in these type of vehicles. it is very difficult to see at nights with the headlamps and can cause a vehicular accident. an internet search will also confirm this is a common issue. https://www.cars.com/articles/2001-2015-nissan-vehicles-headlight-issue-1420681694127/ reference tsb no. 03-074h.

Takana inflators. radio goes on and off when i turn it turns on and stays on for a few seconds then shuts off.

With passenger sitting in passenger seat with seat belt on, the light is on the dash at various times, when in park as well as when driving, the air bag is off. we have taken it to the dealership numerous times to report this issue, but it continues to occur.

Air bag light won't turn offf

Transmission failure after only 72,000 miles. dealer estimate to repair was $3600.

Transmission "internal failure" determined by nissan mechanic on 3 year old altima and nissan is using loophole to get out of taking responsibility for it. i'm over on miles so they won't pay for it. it's 3 years old! this car stalled on highway 30. i was totally freaked out. when i tried to go it rolled backwards and almost hit the car behind me. cars were flying by me honking and people yelling at me. this car is three years old! apparently there are many more like it out there and nissan is not taking responsibility for them! they want $4196 to replace it or a new car for more payment, sales tax and insurance. i'm racking up rental car costs and they want to charge me $89 for diagnostics when i already had it done and told them it needed a transmission! the nissan consumer complaint lady, the service guy, the mechanic and the sales guy at suntrup nissan all agreed that this trans mission should not have gone out at 3 years old. they have extended the warranty on some altima's but not on mine! suntrup nissan has my car now. it will not go at all. i asked for either they pay for the trans or put me in a new car at same payment even with higher insurance and sales tax. they won't do either and i have to pay the $89 diagnostics. terrible for a repeat customer. this is my 3rd nissan - 2 of which i bought from nissan suntrup!

Takata recall whenever i turn on my car the yellow airbag light flashes for the passenger seat

My low beam headlights have just gotten super dim that i feel very unsafe driving at night. i purchased the car new and over time the low beam headlight projection dimmed over time that i feel uncomfortable driving at night. i replaced the bulb and that didn't work. i then upgraded to led lighting and the lighting projection is still to dim to drive at night. i mentioned it to my dealer several times and called nissan to report this and they said they did not have a recall for this matter. my car has 72,000 miles on it and has had this problem for over 2 years. headlights don't light up no more than 15 ft which is no good while driving at 55mph.

Am simply responding to a settlement notice re:" auto airbag settlement" takata airbags installed in my 2014 nissan altima

Cvt transmission failure , i took very good car the car through the dealership that i bought it new from. i followed all maintenance requirements. the car is 3 years old and the transmission just quit on me no warning just done. it will cost me 4500$ out of my pocket to fix. the dealership helped me file a complaint with nissan usa to help. the answer from nissan was we cant help you with your transmission but we can offer $1500 for a new nissan. this is unacceptable theses cvt transmissions are consistently failing on nissans. as the consumer we are getting financially killed by this. action is required against nissan they know there is a issue yet they are still allowed to sell and not stand behind a major part of their vehicles. please do something this is dangerous. i could have been at an intersection or in traffic.

"takata recall" nothing has happened yet, and i don't want anything to happen, so could you please fix the problem. i'd rather be safe than sorry.

According air bag claim documents my vehicle is equipped with faulty takada air bangs. no recall has been received.

Takata recall

The vehicle contains defective airbags made by the takata corporation.

Takata recall while stopped on a busy street waiting to make a left hand turn, i was rear-ended by a large suv. my airbag did not deploy and i suffered severe pain to my head, neck, shoulders and back. my altima was later declared a total loss as a result of the accident.

Takata recall

Takata recall- i noticed that sometimes the 'airbag' light on the passenger side will be on and no one or anything would be on the passenger side.

Prior to taking my 2014 nissan altima to a nissan service center for a scheduled routine oil & filter change, my vehicle was running perfectly. the very next day after i had my routine oil & filter change on my vehicle, my vehicle started hesitating in first gear and immediately i took my vehicle back to the nissan service center the same day of the occurrence and i explained to the nissan service center representative that my vehicle started hesitating. (the day after i had a scheduled routine oil & filter change). when the nissan service center diagnosed my vehicle i was told my cvt transmission indicating a bad internal sensor within the transmission and i would need to pay $3,800 dollars to repair my cvt transmission. i explained to the nissan service center rep. my vehicle was just at the nissan service center yesterday for a routine oil & filter change and there was no warning lights or warning signs on my dashboard that would indicate a problem with my transmission. in addition to my vehicle hesitating in first gear it also appeared not to change gears while i was driving in motion on the highway. i told the nissan rep the amount of money wanted to repair my vehicle was to much money and the nissan rep stated my vehicle is pass the warranty limit because i have 78,000 mile and my limit is 60,000 miles to be covered under warranty. the service rep stated they can have a sales rep contact me to purchase a new car if i did not want to pay for the transmission repair. after refusing to have my vehicle repaired at that price i picked up my vehicle from the nissan service center and drove my vehicle home and it ran fine with no warning lights or any indication of any problems. the vehicle changed gears and drove perfectly. i just want to report this issue and to red flag this problem with my 2014 nissan altima. if someone's dealing with this issue please advise.

The airbag’s light came on showing a defect in it.

Takata recall

Nissan's 2014 altima cvt transmissions are not safe and should be taken out of the cars. i bought my car new in february of 2014. 1) my first transmission died nov 2016 after only 50k miles. i was at a red light and my car would not move forward, it kept dying as soon as i tried to accelerate. the car was stranded in street until a tow truck came. 2) the transmission it got replaced with does not drive smoothly - it jerks, it goes to high rpm's for no reason. when i am in rush hour traffic, it seems to have a mind of it's own: when i am braking, i feel a pull as if the car does not want to stop. or sometimes the engine will feel like it's revving harder than i need it to (up to 4-5k rpms when going under 25mph). 3) this transmission has stalled multiple times at a red light. i will try to accelerate, and it won't move. it finally begins to go after 3-5 seconds of stalling. it is only a matter of time until it dies completely, as my previous transmission did for this car. 4) i was cruising on a side street once, going around 40-45mph, and suddenly the rpm's shoot up to 4-5 for no reason (usually cruise between 1-2). i put my foot completely off the gas, and it would not stop. it finally did after about 3-5 seconds. i do not feel safe in this car- anytime i am in the middle of an intersection waiting to make a left turn, i am wondering if my car is going to die in the middle of my turn, and if i am going to get t-boned. i've complained to my dealership multiple times (two different dealerships), and they always said nothing was wrong with it. search online and you will see the many complains about nissan's cvt transmission. with only 65k miles on a car i bought new, we should not be having to deal with such a faulty transmission. and nissan won't do anything until it's too late, even though they know their transmissions are faulty.

Vehicle was at dealer for oil change, service advised that "recall" campaign pc4900 reprogram transmission control module was performed. after driving the car for 6 days and 447 miles, it died while sitting completely still, idling in traffic (in "drive"). the vehicle shuddered so violently when it died, i thought that i had been rear-ended. the vehicle would restart but died immediately upon any attempt to shift into reverse or drive. had it towed back to the dealer, diagnosis was torque converter failure. total transmission replacement. never had any mechanical issues with this car until now.

On 10/27/17, i hit a deer crossing the road head on at 45 mph and no airbags deployed.

Passenger airbag indicator fails to go off when a passenger is sitting. nissan refuses to accept this as a manufacturing defect and is a serious safety issue that should be part of a recall. there is no accident involved yet but it should be reported to hence this complaint.

My vehicle was impacted in left side, airbags only appears in right side. people on left side get injured, vehicle was stationary impacted by a car without breaks. (accident occurred in slp, mÉxico).

My back seats left & right seat latches are not catching

In august of 2017 i was about to park my altima when the transmission went out. i attempted to restart the car and the car would not shift into gear. eventually, after many issues with a nissan security plus warranty bait and switch issue i got the cvt transmission replaced. i have noticed even on this new transmission it still shudders around 25 mph frequently.

"takata recall" i got my brakes done at to different repair places and my brakes are still squeezing, so i went back for them to change my rotors, brakes are still squeezing. now when i drive i hear loud squeezing and my brakes sounds like they don't want to stop.

I had the fuel pump change because the car would not start. i was told by the mechanic that it has to do with an electrical problem because somehow its not getting power to start my car.

My nissan altima 2014 engine caught on fire while driving on va 286 interstate 66 w exit toward front royal for merging onto i-66 w virginia. luckily i got out safely. i saw smoke come up from under the hood so shut the engine off, so i pulled over to the side. then a flame came up and i ran out of the car. within a matter of seconds the whole car was engulfed in flames and is destroyed 75% and i hardly saved my life but lost laptop, mobiles, baby car seat, stroller and other personal stuff. we lost our car which costed us $22,000.00 even engine was under 5 year warranty which caused a reason of fire but nissan is not ready to take responsibility of its product even their product will take your life. we still owe to bank for nissan altima 2014. help us to cover a total loss from nissan. this stuff should not be happening!! i do not have gap insurance either. nissan should give us new car as a replacement!!!!

The inside door handles seem to brake very easily because they are made of plastic that holds the cable in place. i've been on line and there are many complaints on this happening. it is a safety if you can't get out of your car without rolling down your window.what if you were to get in a car accident and could not get out of your car. i have less then 18000 miles on my car i got the car bran new. this probably needs to be fixed. thanks [xxx] . information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 10 mph, the trunk of the vehicle opened without warning. the contact stated that the trunk locked on its own on more than one occasion, and could not be opened. the vehicle was taken to massapequa nissan in amityville, new york, but the dealer could not duplicate the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue and provided case number: 248-072-49. the failure mileage was approximately 28,000. updated 11/06/17*lj updated 7/16/18*jb

Transmission failed while driving from tampa, fl to chicago, il. car died in normal, il. had it towed to the local dealership, had to get a rental car, was told that the transmission had metal fragments in it and that it would be a week to get a new one and cost $4,500.

2014 nissan altima s. i was driving on the freeway car just stopped running almost got hit by 2 cars transmission stopped working with no warnings of any kind lots of complaint s on this transmission on the internet. very dangerous. we dont have money to pay for it. only 3 years ols car. 60 thousand miles

My car shut off abruptly when i was driving in the highway and i almost got hit by another car. luckily, it was rush hour and we were only going about 30mph. i put the car back in park and restarted. once restarted, i got off the highway and was at a busy intersection and i was the first car at the red light. my car shut off in the middle of the intersection during rush hour. it was very dangerous. i had car towed to dealer and it's a complete cvt transmission failure. still waiting to see if nissan will cover the replacement. the car has 37k miles and is still under the $60k power train warranty.

Since i have had my 2014 nissan altima it has faced several major issues such has two transmissions replacements, now the ac compressor, then the car display screen turned completely pink, and other numerous issues that have already been documented in your system. please refer back to my previous complaints that i have submitted, my service records for the dealership, and so forth for documentation purposes. i truly believe that a car with only 7 miles on it when purchased should not have any of theses issues unless it was manufactured poorly. i am so fed up with dealing with the dealership and run arounds from the corporation that i may have to take legal action if this issue is not resolved in a timely manner.

My car as at a stop sign off a highway. as i tried to excelerate, the car died. i put the car in park. i let it sit for a second, put it in drive, it moved less that a foot and died. i was able to make it to a service station where they told me i needed a new battery. one week later i was on the highway trying to excelerate and the car died, mid highway, i pulled over. got it started and after not having any results at my nissan dealer, made it to my home where it was diagnosed with a faulty transmission. the car is a 2014 with 65 thousand miles and nissan will not help

I brought my car to royal palm nissan for a recall on the hood latch and told them to check the ocs light that went on intermittently even though there was a passenger seated. this was before the recall notice. i received the ocs recall and went to coral 'springs nissan. i returned a week later because the light remained on for 17 minutes a few days later while driving with an adult passenger. i was told it could not be checked because the light was not on then. if the light goes on intermittently, then my passenger is not safe in case of an accident as the airbag will not deploy. what can be done?

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. after the dealer repaired the vehicle per an air bag recall on june 28, 2016, the air bag warning light remained illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer on july 20, 2016 to reset the warning light, but the dealer refused without payment. the manufacturer was notified of the issue. the failure mileage was approximately 79,000. updated 09/29/16*lj *tr

I am contacting you over repeated issues with my 2014 nissan altima sl. this is my second complaint filed to nhtsa for this vehicle's airbag. as you are aware, a recall was issued and has been performed on my vehicle. my issue is that the passenger seat won't arm the airbag if my wife sits in the seat. i have multiple videos of this issue. my most recent visit to my nissan dealer resulted in them stating they couldn't fix anything as they couldn't pull an error code. the very next day, the issue happened again with my wife in the passenger seat and again i recorded it. i opened a complaint with nissan corporate. after a frustrating phone call this evening, and a lot of ambitious double talk on nissan's part, the nissan representative said that the issue was that my wife was too lite. my wife weighs between 103 and 108 pounds as she fluctuates a bit. she stands 5 foot 3 inches tall. the nissan representative, delisa said that nissan doesn't recommend anyone under 4 feet 9 inches or less than 120 lbs in the passenger seat. this was never told to me two years ago when i was looking at purchasing the car, or through any of the 6-8 service tickets i have opened regarding this issue with multiple different fixes attempted. ( i can get the exact number as soon as my dealer provides the requested information.) i would have never bought the car knowing my wife couldn't ride in the front passenger seat. i asked for this in writing from the nissan representative but she said she could not provide that. she said it was only for their internal records. i pressed her on the fact that they were saying my wife couldn't sit in the front seat. her reply was that she didn't say that, only that nissan doesn't recommend someone less than 120 pounds in the passenger seat. is it possible to be contacted by the nhtsa to clarify what nissan is saying and if it is accurate?

When i first purchased the vehicle there was a slight jerking, and pulling when going 0-20 mph, i would inform the dealership when i would go in for oil changes and services, due to this being intermittent they would not troubleshoot, now at 25000 miles it is persistently jerking and pulling.

"passenger air bags off" light is "on" while driving, at any speed, with an adult in front passenger seat. the problem first occurred when the vehicle was less that a week old. it continues to occur about once a month. i have had the car at the dealer many times. the problem cannot be duplicated at the dealer, therefore no repairs have been made. on june 15, 2016 the vehicle was taken to the dealer in response to recall #16v244000. no help! the problem has occurred twice since then. the problem: always occurs during an engine start. never while driving. it seems to be part of the initialization process. may correct itself at any time. it may last for a half a mile or 50 miles. cannot be corrected by the passenger standing or bouncing can always be corrected by pulling off the road and stopping then restarting the engine. i have a lots of cell phone photos showing vehicle speed, "passenger air bag off" indication and an adult passenger in the passenger seat. these photos are dated.

Dealership found right front axle coming out of transmission. retainer bracket loose. r&r axle and bracket. could have been a very serious problem or accident and we are lucky this problem was found before something happened.. is there recall on axles?. i'm not sure this car is safe to drive

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v244000 (air bags), 16v029000 (latches/locks/linkages), and 15v116000 (latches/locks/linkages). the parts needed for the repair were not available. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distributions disconnect.

Since purchasing this car in early 2015 i have experienced the following: occasionally the car alarm will sound / lights will flash either by manually pressing the button on the drivers door, passengers door or the trunk lid (with key fob in pocket or in hand) this issue also occurs using either one of my factory key fobs unlock buttons (both with new batteries installed by the dealer). by pressing the fobs unlock button again or pressing the door button again a second time, the alarm turns off and the door unlocks. i have had this in to the dealer four times in the last year but they have not been able to reproduce the problem. i am told each time that nissan will not authorize service unless they see it happen or some code is stored. why won't nissan upper level technicians become involved with these kinds of problems?

I just had a recall performed on my car for the passenger air bag sensor. now, the air bag warning light stays on all the time when the front passenger seat is empty. this creates a dangerous situation while driving at night because it interferes with peripheral vision because the light is so bright. i complained to my dealer, but they say there is no fix for it. so what do i do, not drive my car at night ? they told me that the recall was ordered by the nhtsa.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. after the vehicle was started, the passenger side air bag off warning light illuminated while the seat was occupied. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags); however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer on several different occasions where the ocs sensor was replaced and reprogrammed. in addition, other unknown repairs were performed, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 11,092.

I have had many issues while driving on a street, highway, and at a stop. all the issues seems to point to either software or electrical issues. i have complained to the dealership on many occasions. i bought my car with only approx. 7-10 miles on it in jan. 2014. since the beginning, i have had my entire dashboard shut off w/o warning. navigation, radio, camera, etc. completely shuts off, air bags lights turning off and on, the air conditioner intermittingly working whenever it chooses, the cigarette lighters (both) that i use to charge my phone no longer works, and acceleration not accelerating properly (transmission issue?). i have not ever had so many car problems, especially with a new car. when i ask the dealership about recalls, they are only concerned with repair costs they want to collect, in which i understand. however, what i do not understand is looking up the issue online and seeing hundreds of the same complaints. just with the same air conditioner issue alone, on only one site, there were almost 600 customer complaints. i was astounded. i can't believe there are not more recalls with what i have read. besides serious bodily injuries or death, do nissan owners need to get the media involved to get something done. locally, there is a tv station that dedicates a segment to consumer reviews and complaints. it's certainly a consideration at this point.

Two complaints: one: the airbag warning light on the instrument panel intermittently and randomly comes on while driving. when taken to the dealer, they said the plug under the drivers seat was loose. they "fixed it". this problem has occurred 3 times since i bought the car new and is currently doing it again, but it is now out of warranty because of mileage and they are going to charge me to fix a problem that should never happen, yet has reoccurred regularly since new. two: when depressing the brake pedal and near a complete stop, the pedal becomes "soft" for about a half second, the car stops decelerating for that half second then continues to stop normally, thereafter. each time i mention this at a service interval at the dealer, they say they will look into it. nothing is noted on my invoice and nothing is mentioned when the car is picked up. it is unsettling and it causes the car to stop several feet further than if this didn't happen.

When i received my recall notice, nhtsa recall 16v-029, i scheduled an appointment at my nissan dealership, suntrup nissan, to have my car repaired. at the appointment, suntrup nissan told me they did not have the part to fix it, and would call me when it was available. well, it has been quite a while, and they have never called me. then, i emailed the service manager, and he never responded. i do not know what else to do.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. while driving 30 mph, the brakes began to squeak and the vehicle was out of alignment. the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 16v029000 (latches, locks, linkages). the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the vin was invalid. the failure mileage was 16,000.

Cracked 2014 nissan altima windshield. parked in driveway under a carport.crack started from where the hood meets middle windshield. found numerous complaints of spontaneous cracking of windshields. possible engineering/materials defect. examples: some at least 50 complaints. http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/nissan-altima/t47v5h1tb7k...

"

I experienced a grinding, shaking noise at 2.0 rpm. the vehicle was taken in for service and i was informed that the transmission had to be replaced. the transmission was replaced and that was when all of my troubles began. the vehicle would hesitate and jerk while driving at low speeds. there was now a vibration at 1.5 rpm. i took the vehicle back to the dealership and was advised that a belt was loose. the vehicle was returned to me and it still was not driving smoothly and now the entire gear console was loose. the vehicle would not move from either drive or reverse upon starting, even when the gear shift was moved. it would take two tries each time to get the car to move from park. the vehicle went back into the dealership where the gear console was adjusted. however, the dealership could not replicate the issue - vehicle not moving when gear placed in reverse or drive. this weekend (4/30/16) i drove the vehicle in virginia and had to navigate several high elevations while on the i-81 highway. the car was sluggish at best, dragging and the gears would not change. the car was racing loudly trying to keep up with the speed, rpm was up at 3.5 and the car was at 50 mles; speed limit was 70. once i cleared the hill the rpms leveled out to 1.5 and the car held the 70 mph speed. note the vehicle was not performing this way before the "new transmission" was installed. i did have the grinding and racing noise at 2.0 rpm, but no hesitation, jerking or any difficulties in higher elevations. that leads me to conclude that there is something else wrong with this vehicle other than the transmission. i have also lodged a complaint with nissan consumer affairs whom i am awaiting a response from on my complaint. the vehicle now has 18,694 miles and was purchased in august of 2014.

First this car only has 11,000 miles on. we got the battery change on it last year. but some reason the battery keeps on dying on us. saturday may 7th the car was working fine and we stop to go food shopping come back out and the car would not start. we had this check out last year and they said nothing was wrong with the car. but there is something going with this car to act up this way.

I keep getting a key id incorrect or key id undetectable when i try to start the car. i have replaced the battery in the key fob and the same issues arise. i have to open and close the car door at least 10 times before i can get the car to start. this could be a safety hazard as i might get stranded somewhere if i shut the car off and it doesn't start. i am getting really tired of this issue and hopefully a recall or some type of fix will come from nissan. this issues always happens when the vehicle is in park and you try to start the vehicle.

Hello, i bought nissan altima 2014 in nov 2013 from nissan faulker jenkintown, pa and around july-aug 2014, i had issue with the car and while i was driving the car suddenly decelerated itself while my foot was on gas pedal, i had to tow it to nissan faulker in jenkintown, pa, they said nothing is wrong and asked me to pick my car, again on jan 30th, 2016 while i was driving on i680 from sacramento to san jose, the car started de-accelerating on its own from 65mph to 5mph and i had to pull it on shoulder and luckily no car was on way and had to tow it to nissan dealer, my car is around 55k miles and now i am afraid after this my car would be out of warranty and i have to shed lot of money for repair in near future of no fault of mine.

Had random passenger airbag remain on when passenger was sitting in seat - met all weight requirements. this never happened continually but was problematic enough to bring in to dealer. they could not find anything wrong. brought in several times, still no fix. nissan recalled this problem in april 2015, had fix done to vehicle. within a week airbag light stayed on with passenger in seat. this issue continues yet talking with nissan they believe that since the dealer can't find any error codes showing what the problem is they will not fix it. nissan will not put this under nhtsa campaign number: 15v681000 as it does not fit their criteria. i believe any passenger sitting in that seat is not safe. vehicle is running passenger comes in and sits in seat, passenger airbag light stays on. passenger is 160#. if i turn vehicle off and restart the airbag light usually does stay off. but not sure of the safety at that point - is airbag really on? this is continual since buying the vehicle in 2013, fix in spring of 2015 did not fix ocs for my vehicle.

I have to much throbble whit my carr hard to start i have more one monthy the not rrunig

The passenger airbag sensor is not properly sensing the weight. the "airbag off" light is on when an adult over the weight limit sits in the seat. plus, a child under the weight limit, the "airbag off" light is off. in short, the passenger airbag sensor is not properly detecting the correct weight of the passenger.

I purchased a used 2014 nissan altima the end of april 2015 from enterprise car sales. i was told they did such a thorough inspection of all of their vehicles that the car was in great condition. in october 2015, with approximately, 61,000 miles on the nissan, it started randomly hesitating. i would push the gas pedal but the car would not accelerate. i took it to the nissan dealership and they could not find a problem. a few days later, i was pulling out from an intersection and i pressed the gas pedal and the car would not move!! i barely made it home. i took it back to the dealership and was told it needed a new transmission, $3400 and that the power train warranty had just expired at 60,000 miles. i called nissan north america consumer affairs and filed a claim to see if they would cover a new transmission. after about 5 or 6 days, i received a call back and was told no, they would not cover or help pay for a new transmission. i asked if they were aware of all of the problems with these cvt transmissions, the rep said they had problems on previous year and model vehicles but not on the 2014(s). obviously, there are still problems!!! a 2014 vehicle should not need a new transmission!!!

My car has approximately 27,500 miles. about three months ago i began having a hard time keeping the car in my lane of traffic. the car was pulling hard to the left, requiring me to steer to the right (approximately to a 1 o'clock position). i believed this to be an alignment issue and had a large chain repair shop complete an alignment. the steering issue was not resolved. i then took the car to my dealership and they advised that it was out of alignment and they had fixed the issues with an alignment (i have not paid $250 in alignment charges). after a few days of driving it, the car is still pulling to the left. i have tried driving in all lanes of traffic and been sensitive to the grade of the road...however, my car will pull to the left in any situation. in most cases, it takes quite a bit of pressure steering to the right, to keep the car driving straight-ahead. when i called the dealership to advise them the repair was not correct, they said they had two techs drive it and it was fine - i would need to return to the dealership and drive the car with them to diagnose. i don't feel that i should have to spend additional time with the service department to find a repair for my vehicle. i made a report with nissan customer affairs. in my experience with nissan, these are the steps that are needed to get a solution to any safety issues.

The vehicle has had recurring problems with the passenger air bag light coming on while the vehicle is in motion and with an occupant in the passenger seat. this has occurred on both city streets and interstate highways. the vehicle was brought in due to a recall on the restraint system on may 9, 2014. previous to this there were no observable problems. on june 12, 2014 the vehicle was brought into the dealership because i began to have a problem with the air bag light coming on when a passenger was in the front seat while driving. nissan detected a problem and replaced the airbag detection sensor. the problem soon became evident again (many times i drive the vehicle while alone, so problem isn't always evident.) on jan 30, 2015 i brought the vehicle into nissan dealership with the same problem. again, they detected codes regarding the passenger occupant sensors and they said they replaced the sensor. five days later the problem showed up while we were on a lengthy trip. i brought the vehicle in again on april 9. they stated that no codes showed up and suggested it probably would be ok. however on several occasions the problem showed up again, i brought it back to the dealership, each time they stated that they did a computer scan and no codes showed up. i had taken videos on 3 occasions showing the vehicle in motion and showing a passenger in the front seat and showing the airbag light on indicating the airbag was not in operation. i offered , even asked if they would watch but they declined. they said that everything was functional. they further told me that the primary means of restraint was the seatbelt. i asked if they would check to see if the sensor was positioned properly, however they refused, saying that nissan would not authorize any other work to be done unless the computer showed a problem. i am left not knowing of my vehicle is safe.

I recently purchased a 2014 nissan altima s with 48,000 miles on it. after driving it for four months i recently started having an issue. at first i thought it was bad gas because the car started jerking and acting like it was not getting gas. i purchased the stuff for fuel that you use to increase the octane in the tank and filled up the tank. the car drove ok for a day or two, then it started with the following. when i depressed on the accelerator at a stop light, it would take about 30 seconds to pull off. at that time the light came on and i looked at the owners manual and it stated it was a fuel emission issue. fill the tank with high octane gas and the light should go out in a few trips. the issue continued to get worse as i was driving sat, 10/10/15. i went from pulling off slowly, to when i depressed the accelerator it wouldn't go at all until i kept putting the car in park, then drive, then park, then drive many times until it decided to drive. at that point i decided to take the car home cause the issue was getting worse. only i never made it home the car suddenly decided it would not go more than 35 in the middle of traffic. i was an accident waiting to happen. in the middle of driving it just slowed down immediately and made this loud whining noise. had i not been in an area where i could pull over immediately my 72 year mother and i would have been toast.

Since the first week we owned the car, occasionally the screen(back up cam, radio...) doesn't start, or fails within first mile of driving- maybe 10 times since purchase date. on july 29, 2015- morning- car upon start, no screen and no dashboard. restarted twice and then fine. at 9:30 p.m. same day-- close to home, side mirror failure warning showed on dash- and a subsequent failure of systems- including but not limited to- gps, screen, turn signals, headlights,hazard lights, all dash information. i pulled into parking garage and attempted to open window to use key fob for gate and had no operating windows, including sunroof or locks. put car in park and could not get it into another gear.trapped in car for 15 min. with car running- passenger door then unlocked. aaa called. car ran for 3 hrs. aaa disabled the electrical operating the fuel pump. car towed to cochran in pittsburgh. since a restart resets the computer, no code on diagnostic would be found. cochran considers the situation resolved. nissan has a case # and several recorded (by nissan) conversations have occurred with regional rep. and that rep. will not send written findings of investigation (check the i key)as it is internal information and i will pay all diagnostic fees associated. rep has no technical knowledge and has no explanation of what an i key is or how or for what it should be checked. there is a directive from nissan regarding this problem as told to me by wright nissan, but again nothing will be done without the code from diagnostic computer. this can't happen again- but it will and it could be catastrophic-the intermittent, random, systematic failure will happen- the extent and order of events unknown - leaving us an uncertain outcome and no plan for response in the given situation. we suspect the problem is the bcm as alerted by the internet research, the aaa driver and the cochran tech.

I have a leased 2014 nissan altima that on 2 occasions while driving failed to shift into the next gear. the last time was 08/21/15, the malfunction indicator light came on. i had my kids in the car i could not maintain safe driving speed and had to put on my hazard lights, pull over and restart the car twice. the light stayed on but the car resumed normal function. the next day i took it early to bay ridge nissan dealer they looked at it and said there was a pass code that showed up but they didn't know what the code meant other than there was an alert from the car. the couldn't replicate the problem or say why the issue had happened or give any guarantees that it would not occur again which is a potential dangerous driving condition but proceeded to charge me $260 for diagnostics on a new car i leased that has warranty.

I purchased a brand new 2014 nissan altima sv from baker nissan north in houston, texas (19630 northwest fwy, houston, tx 77065 (281) 890-5656). my transmission has failed twice (replaced the first time and now having to be replaced again) and i have been getting the run around from the dealership. this issue should not be occurring with a brand new vehicle. then to top it off i have been a loyal customer and have purchased a total of four cars from this dealership now. i filed a consumer affairs report with nissan corporation and have yet to hear something. i also called the dealership again to speak with someone in charge such as the general manager and they informed me to contact the consumers affairs department with nissan corporation. they said they have a chain of command to follow and that would be my best bet of getting the situation resolved. i would like this situation to be investigated and justice. i do not spend my hard earned money to have a car that is not operating properly and could put my life and others in danger. it comes down to the fact that this car is a lemon and i should be given brand new transportation or the dealership should purchase the car and pay off the loan and let me take my business elsewhere....... i also have copies of my maintenance records for documentation purposes.....thank you in advance for your time and effort. i look forward to hearing from you soon. *tr..updated 11/05/15 *bf the consumer also stated the ac was blowing out hot air, then cool air and the steering wheel was hard to turn. updated 11/25/15.*jb *dt *as

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan altima. the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v138000 (air bags, electrical system). however, the contact stated that when an adult passenger was seated in the front passengers side seat, the air bag warning light illuminated indicating that the front passenger side air bag was deactivated. the failure recurred on several occasions when an adult passenger sat in the front passengers side seat. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and was not diagnosed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 49,000.

The pass. side air bag off light do not all ways turn off when someone is setting in pass. seat. nissan last year had a recall for this problem, they reloaded the ocs software for this problem. i have had 3 problem so far sense the recall. most of the time there is no one but me in the car so i do not have a idea of how often it could had fail if someone was in the pass. seat with every trip. i have only taken the car once to the dealer for this problem because the first time i did not think anything about it. the second time i took it to the dealer and after checking it out, they told me that there was noting they could or would do because they had no failure and that nissan will not let them replace any parts unless there is a failure as nissan will not pay for the item. open ref.# 19611123 with nissan and was told about the same thin, except nissan said that it was the dealer call but they would not pay for no failure part replacement. i believe is a safety problem and someone with power should look into it, do to the fact there have already been a recall for this problem. no one i talk to at the dealer or on the phone to nissan would or could do anything about it. the internet has many write up about this problem that no one will do anything about. i guess they are waiting for someone to be badly injured or killed to take the problem serious.

Transmission fails on the highway this is the second time for a brand new car. i had my child in the car this time. the vehicle suddenly loses power . the first time it occurred was @ 3000 miles . the second time is at 13000 miles. the biggest risk is being rear ended by the vehicle behind due to the sudden loss of power and nissan knows their cvt for altima and rogue 2014 is an issue, no move from manufacturer to replace the car or recall all cars in question

When im in traffic and try to speed up the car doesn't change gears. ive taken it to the dealer four times and they do nothing about it. it has happened two times within the last three days, which is more frequently than before. i have had this problem since i bought the car. when i stop the car completely, lets say at a red light, then press the gas it takes a few seconds for the car to even start moving.

Started noticing this problem in the first week of purchase. car needs to be constantly corrected to stay inside the lane even when driving straight, and the steering becomes to taut when i try to correct it, like its being pulled away from dead-centre. i almost ran into cars in the other lane, was honked at multiple times.. now i am extremely careful and drive with both hands on the steering constantly adjusting to stay inside the lane. a friend who was following me last weekend said i was weaving so much that it looked like some drunk was driving the car!! the steering issue has to be fixed before it caused any fatalities.

During our vacation while driving in illinois we noticed while on the highway going at a speed of 60 to 65 mph while an adult occupying the passenger seat the air bag light came on and said passenger air bag turned off. i pulled out the owners manual and read that it could be caused by an article perhaps touching the seat if reclined too far back. this was not the case. there was nothing touching the seat. i was sitting perfectly still so the sensor should have detected a passenger in the seat. i had been siting in the seat for hours with the normal movement. we pulled over and turned the car off then restarted and the light stayed off. this happened several more times while driving on our vacation and is a scary thought to have this occur. once home, i called the dealership for an appointment and in the meantime the same thing occurred on a short in town trip twice.my appointment is this week so i am curious what they will find.

Car will not stay in lane at highway speed it wanders back and forth you have to constantly correct to stay in your lane . almost went under semi truck trailer .air bag light also comes on saying no one is in passenger seat when my wife is setting there .been to dealer on recall 2 times on this already

On approximately june 19, 2015 i started experiencing sluggish take off from a stop position in my car. noticeably after work, on the way home in stop and go traffic after 7-10 miles into my transit (with outside temps in the 90's). didn't happen everyday, only when traffic was really bad (stop and go). i took vehicle into dealership on june 29th to have this checked out; dealership repair drove vehicle for approximately 16-miles and found no hesitation while driving during that time. on july 2nd, on the way home from work the sluggishness turned into a critical, serious 'hesitation' problem. my foot was pressing on gas pedal but car wouldn't move, i was holding up traffic, i pressed harder and harder and then my car lunged forward almost causing an accident on two occasions; this problem continued intermittently all the way home (for the next 5+ miles) - i drove with emergency flashers. called dealership next day i spoke with receptionist asking to speak with service manager, left him voicemail message/call never returned called back couple of times only to get voicemail. made appointment online & took car in on july 7th. car has been in the shop ever since. assistant service manager states they cannot duplicate the problem. i explained i don't feel safe driving this car; especially with two missed car crashes. that was enough for me! something needs to be done about this problem. i don't want this car anymore.

The passenger side front seat will not detect an adult occupying the seat and disables the air bag for that passenger. i have personally experienced this on multiple occasions for adults ranging in weights from 130 pounds to 165 pounds. i have taken it to my dealer on 4 occasions. the first time they told me they reprogrammed it. the second, they replaced a sensor. the third, they said my wife didn't weigh enough and to sit very still or bounce around in the seat so that the passenger is detected. the fourth time, they replaced two sensors. still the issue persists. to try and remedy, i have to put the car in park and keep turning the car off and on until it detects my passenger and enables the airbag.

We took a trip to northern michigan from asheville nc, our altima began to die when idling in detroit. i thought we had bad gas so purchased lucas fuel system cleaner and filled the fuel tank. the vehicles performance improved we continued our trip to indian river mi. once we reached our destination i parked the car and it sat from saturday until the following tuesday morning. i started the vehicle and put it in reverse the vehicle wouldn't move, i shifted the car back into park and then to reverse again depressed to fuel pedal and it began to move. we started on our day trip and about two miles down the road and the vehicle down shifted and would not go fast than 20mph, we called nissan assistance and the sent a wrecker to get us. the wrecker to us to the nearest nissan dealership two hours away, after spending another four hours at the dealership to find out our vehicle had to have another transmission. the dealership got us a rental car and we are currently on our way home. i will be talking to nissan customer service on monday to see how they plan on getting our vehicle back to us. we no warning lights or signals came on to warn us until the vehicle wouldn't move at all.

Purchased new 2014 nissan altima sl 3.5l at approximately 2200 miles when accelrating at a stop light the vehicle jerked (as if it could not change gears), happened intermittently at first. took vehicle to repair shop at 2 dealers in 2 states who could not capture information at that time. by 12000 miles while returning from vacation (1/4/2015) the vehicle was undriveable. took to local dealer and needed a completee transmission replacement. at this time, vehicle was jerking, missing gears, changing gears independently, trying to go in to a lower gear while breaked at a stop light and engine would rev to accelrate, vehicle shook, and was literally deteriorating each mile. transmission was replaced, at approximately 14500 miles, the same vehicle symptoms have begun. took to dealer while traveling, they were able to capture minimal data because as the vehicle began to jerk and shake, their battery died in the lap top. however, some data was recorded. advised to drive home and file complaint with nissan motors north america (which i have done,) vehicle will be taken to local dealer for continual study and new transmission replacement. was advised by repair manager, that transmissions are now being known to seize while being drove. i have requested nissan purchase my vehicle back, pay off my loan and refund any trade in values and payments made on nmac loan because i refuse to replace a transmission every 2000 miles. at this time vehicle is shifting spuratically at any mileage. more at lower speeds but also at 70mph on highways.

We rented a 2014 altima s from a local hertz rent-a-car and traveled roundtrip from florida to new york. on the return trip we stopped at a rest area just entering south carolina. when i restarted the vehicle and went to put the vehicle in reverse the car stalled out. i proceeded to put the vehicle in park and restarted the car. when i put the vehicle again in reverse, again it stalled; tried again to put it in drive, again it stalled. i then called hertz emergency roadside assistance to get a tow to the nearest hertz rental which turned out to be to the nearest airport. the tow came in 45 minutes since the nearest reliable tow was in north carolina. even the tow truck driver could not put the vehicle in gear without the vehicle stalling out even after cooling for almost an hour. the car rental gave us another vehicle, a nissan sentra, which was the largest vehicle they had available. luckily we were able to finish our trip to florida without any further incidence. the rental agent or his boss could not believe that this problem happened; that they're not responsible for mechanical problems with their rentals; that she'll give me a token dollars off my rental since no other places would even do what she did for us....updated 07/30/15 *bf updated 9/24/2015 *js

I have only had my car for about 15 months and i bought it brand new. so about a month ago i noticed that there was a jerk when i would push on the gas when coming from a complete stop. one time my car even slightly slid and the tire light came on. i took my car to the dealership once that happened but they said that the only issue they saw was that my wheels were unbalanced. i still experience this issue from time to time and i would like to know why. i bought a brand new car for a reason and that was to not have to deal with car issues for a while.

I bought the car last year and it has only been about 13 months. about three months ago, i noticed that there was a kind of jerk when i would start off a stop light and accelerate. first thinking it was not a great deal, i kept going however i noticed it that it was becoming more constant. one day about to reverse out of a parking lot, i put the car in reverse, and the car turned off. there was no response at all from the transmission. i then turned the ignition off and restarted it and it started working fine. being late for work, i then continued on and until yesterday everything was okay. yesterday, i got into my car, started it, switched to drive, and the engine shut off and there was no response from the transmission. i turned the ignition off, turned it on again, moved the shifter into reverse and the engine shut off again. i have since had it towed and it is being checked at the dealership. this being a one year old car, i do not expect it to give these issues.

My car is stalling on the highway and sometimes cuts off at a low speed. i took it to the nissan dealership and was told they do not see any issues due to the engine light not coming on. i think this is a safety hazzard being that the car could turn off at anytime on the highway. i'm really concern when my family (wife & kids are in the car. please help!

2014 altima has been into dealer for passenger air bag issues and twice they have done things, but we still have the problem. a passenger over 125 pounds is sitting in the seat and the air bag light saying the air bag is turned off is on. have to shut the car off and turn on again and it will then go out. makes me wonder what it will really do if we are in an accident. *tr

I am writing regarding problems with the nissan air bag safety system in my 2014 altima. i purchased a 2014 altima in august and have had a recurring intermittent problem of the passenger air bag light coming on and remaining on when i have an adult passenger in the vehicle. my wife weighs 120 pounds yet it is not infrequent for the light to go on when we start the car and then remain on for an extended period of time, usually between fifteen and thirty minutes. it may also come on and stay on if she gets in the car after i have started it. since local trips are often less than thirty minutes, there are times we complete a short trip without the light going out. the light will also come on for no apparent reason while we are driving. during one of these episodes the light came on while we were driving on an interstate, remained on for just over an hour, and then went off. we have had the car evaluated by nissan twice and are repeatedly told nothing is wrong. i also wrote and spoke with nissan corporate and was told there is nothing they can do. there is nothing under the seat. there are no children in the car and my wife is not turning around in the seat. i have pictures (i can forward if desired) that show the problem while we are on the road. *tr

The seatbelts on my 2014 nissan altima are extremely difficult to latch. receiving end retracts below the seat level when you try to latch it. contacted nissan corporation they told me to bring it to my dealer which was route 23 auto mall, butler new jersey. brought it in today to be checked and they told me nothing is wrong with the latching mechanism of the seatbelt. very dangerous situation. will never lease/buy another altima again. had a 2010 altima and had no problems with it. *tr

Blind side zone detection on both sides of the vehicle malfunction during times of rainy weather. i have taken the car into dealership several times for this issue and filed a complaint with nissan ( case # [xxx] being handled by [xxx]). both dealership and nissan have said that this issue can not be repaired. at issue is that during rainy weather the blind spot warning lights come on with no vehicles in this spot. this causes the driver to swerve the car to get out of the way of a phantom vehicle. this almost resulted in an accident in florida on i-10 this past month. both dealership and nissan stated to me that in the owners manual it states that this safety option may malfunction during rainy weather. so nissan knows about this problem before the car is sold, it is in the owners manual, but refuses to fix the problem. 1. why does nissan "tout" this safety feature when they knowingly know that it may malfunction when the driver needs it the most? 2. although it is stated in the owners manual that this is a problem, the owners manual is not given to the customer nor made available to read before the purchase of the vehicle. how is the owner to know that the safety option they are purchasing may malfunction during the time they need to use it the most? 3. nissan's response to the above is to just turn off the safety equipment you bought during rainy weather. this is an unacceptable response to a big safety issue with this car. 4. an acceptable remedy to this problem is: a. fix the problem. b. return my money to me and i will give the car back. c. make the same options as a and b above to all other customers. thanks information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Light depicting that passenger air bag was off while my wife was in the passenger seat. light came on and stayed on for 40 miles. the first time i noticed this, a software update was run and i was told that the problem was resolved. it happened again and i was told that the car was showing a faulty in the sensors below the seat and they were replaced and i was told the problem was resolved. yesterday the problem surfaced again. *tr

Pass air bag light stays on when wife is in pass seat. her weight is 165lbs. it has come on a few times but could not get it to the dealer until 10/30/14. i was told no dtc's found. this is an intermittent problem and it lights up when it wants to. it is not safe. the dealer tech confirmed operation of light tsb#ntb14-027. i have no doubt the light works it's just on at the wrong time. not safe!!! once again the light coming on with a passenger in the seat. did hunter nissan hendersonville nc sell me a car with a recall? is this legal? *tr

This issue is regarding the passenger air bag light that turns on even when there is an adult passenger occupying the seat. the weight of the adult passenger (150lbs - 180lbs) is much higher than the threshold for activating the air bags. have taken to the nissan dealership and complained about this issue during my 3 service visits, but every time i get a response that there are no issues with the sensors and there are no pending recalls. it took me a lot of effort to make them understand what i'm saying and the dealership was of no help. they made me believe that this is a non-issue and i should ignore the air bag light. this is a very serious issue and i've now a video/photo evidence with different adults in the passenger seats. further, this is very erratic. at one instance, i've had my wife sit in the passenger seat while the air bag light was off and suddenly turned on when we were cruising at 65mph on the highway, the light suddenly turned on. it's caused a brief panic and we had to stop, re-start the engine and then it worked fine. we're very scared to ride a passenger and the dealership is of no help. i searched online and found many other users having similar concerns with no resolution. this is a very very serious safety issue and would request the erratic and faulty air bag problem be resolved before we wait to hear about some casualty because of faulty airbags from nissan. *tr

The front passenger air bag lite stays on while the passenger is seated.indicating the air bag is in-operative. the dealer performed updates, both software and hardware. the problem was never fixed ! after demanding a factory engineer to inspect the car, the result was: some of these cars , this failure will happen, and there is nothing that can be done" his recommendation was , drive to the side of the road, turn off the car and re-start the car and the "computer" will be reset ! now in excess of 4500 miles, it still fails ! *tr

Hello, i have taken my brand new nissan altima 2014 4 times to the dealership for the problem nissan has been having. when there is someone over the weight limit sitting in the passenger side the air bag light that indicates if its on or off does not come off. stating that the airbag is off even though someone is sitting in he passenger side with the weight requirement. it all started on 11/10/14 and was told nothing was wrong, took it again on 1/14/15 and they said they found a code ( b00a0-00) indicating the airbag would turn off. they told me they fixed the problem by replacing the sensor and control unit and performed zero point reset. the problem came back again on 2/3/15 and was told that there is nothing wrong and that if it happens just pull over and turn off the car until the lights turn off and does not come back on. took it again for the same problem in march and was told that they could not do nothing even though they knew it was not working as intended. *tr

We were one of the 2014 nissan altima's that was experiencing the passenger air bag issue: even though a full-sized adult was sitting in the seat, the "air-bag off" would be illuminated. it was brought in under the recall in roughly october of 2014. after getting the car back, we immediately noticed that the light was still coming on when a passenger was present. we were told that it could be due to humidity, as we live in florida. but even during the winter months it still read that the air bag was off. this is concerning if it is a safety issue and nissan is not properly fixing the issue. i heard recently on the news that more complaints are coming forward and i wanted to make sure my voice was heard. thank you. *tr

Since i leased my car in may2014 i forgot to turn the engine off 4 times . twice it ran all night in my garage but fortunately the gas fumes did not enter my house while i was sleeping. i believe its because i'm not use to the keyless ignition system. at first i thought i mistakenly started the engine with the remote start capability while the key was in my pocket. i reported the problem to the car dealer and at my request they disengaged the remote start feature on the vehicle, recently the car was left running all night for the second time so i apparently forgot to turn it off, i am elderly and hard of hearing and can hardly hear the engine running, i wear a hearing aid. it runs very quietly. once i loaned my daughter the car and she encountered the same problem of not turning off the engine, i learn from internet post that countless reports have been made and several deaths by carbon monoxide entering homes have occurred due to this problem, i understand the keyless ignition system has been around for many years and is installed in many different vehicles, i was not aware of it until i got my car. i feel a safety recall should be issued to correct the problem before more people get killed, the public should be made aware of it without further delay since countless reports have already been made. please acknowledge receipt of my report. thank you. *tr

Driving at speeds higher than 50mph constant steer corrections need to be done in order to keep the car safely between lanes. the car moves left and right and cannot keep a straight line without constantly needing to correct the steering. this is on calm weather today 3/10/2015, outside temperature 49 degrees, wind speed 2 mph for woodburn, or area according to weather.com. even if there is no wind, the car feels like there are cross winds. this can be a very dangerous problem and complains from other owners are all over the internet including at the dealer's service centers. i am worried about higher wind speeds and how dangerous that can be with a car that cannot keep a straight line due to the fact that it has a electric steering assist that doesn't feel like it is speed sensitive. it is dangerous as unexpected lane swerving can cause major accidents at higher speeds. something needs to be done to correct the steering assist and offer a more smoother ride and a better handling experience on highways. the dealer service centers can't do anything to correct the problem and are telling you to deal with it and learn how to drive the car. *tr

This is an ongoing problem. the information provided above is approximate as i didn't know it was an issue until a recall from my nissan dealer on april 22' 2014. since then i have had it back to the dealer two more times for the same incident only to be told it could not be fixed, but they gave me a procedure to get around the issue. the issue involves the air bag light on the passengers side staying lit even when there is an adult in the seat. the light on means the passengers air bag is disabled. i am told to check light while the car in on and in park and if on, have the passenger stay perfectly still for about eight seconds, until the light goes out. sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't. occasionally i have to shut off the engine and restart in order for this to work. most times, i forget to check the light only to notice it on while driving. this is not acceptable. i worry about not noticing and having a front end accident. surely in this day and age nissan engineers can find a fix. *tr

While traveling at 65 mph on the highway, the rpms began jumping. it was acting like the transmission was slipping. then after stopping, the transmission took several seconds to go into gear. a short time later, the car would not accelerate over 60mph. took to the dealer and they said the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the car had under 20,000 miles on it. i have read that this is a very common problem with nissan cvt transmissions and some owners have had their transmissions replaced 5 times. *tr

The first incidence was in october, 2014; my wife was seated in front passenger seat while the car was in motion, when the passenger air bag off light lit up indicating the air bag system for front passenger was turned off. since she was seated normally with full weight on the seat..we were led to believe the air bag system was not functioning properly. the only way to get the system functioning is to pull over and restart the car. the car was immediately taken to the dealership following that incidence. the service advisor, at that time, confirmed that my car was not part of the recalled air bags, however, they reprogrammed the computer and told me to watch for any other instances. the most recent incident was on 2/8/15, with the same conditions. i quickly scheduled a service appt for 2/12/15 & refused to let anyone in the front seat. while at the dealership on 2/12/15, the nissan service advisor discussed with me a tsb, which said that "occupants who are properly seated and correctly using the seat belt, should not cause the passenger air bag to be automatically turned off." he then had the care inspected by a service tech. following the inspection, the service advisor came to me and noted that the system was not showing any trouble codes. they told me there was nothing they could do and to let them know if i had anymore trouble. at this point i refused to take the car off their lot until it was fixed - i did not feel that my family should be subjected to a possible failure of the air bag system, injury, or death. it appeared to me that those outcomes were 100% avoidable. after a few conversations incl the service manager, i was provided with a dealer loaner vehicle and was told they would research the situation. i have elevated this to nissan's consumer affair specialist via the 1 800 nissan 1, call center. i hope a solution is found quickly. *tr

[xxx] january 31, 2015 dear sir: i bought my nissan, 2014 altima, in may 2014. i have sciatic nerve pain that originates from my lower back and runs down my legs sometimes causing me to fidget in my seat while driving. on four separate occasions, while trying to get comfortable in the driver seat, the outside of my knee has inadvertently come in contact with the overdrive off switch located on the inside potion of the shift handle on the center console. when the overdrive off button is engaged, i experience a sudden loss in power and the engine seems to convulse and shudder. i immediately pull over, usually in heavy traffic, to try to get out of this mode. luckily, this has not happened to me while i was on the highway, but rather at about 35 mph in heavy traffic conditions. i find it to be an extremely dangerous situation which luckily has not led to any traffic accidents. i see absolutely no need or any situation where i would ever use this system and therefore see no reason to equip the car with this feature. every time i do this, i feel i am doing damage to the engine or perhaps leading to some huge expensive repair bill down the road. at the very least, the button should have been placed in a position where it cannot be inadvertently pushed. it should have been placed in a spot where you would have to intentionally access it. i find it to be a safety hazard and a concern for doing expensive damage to the vehicle. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I purchased the vehicle and right away i noticed that the steering was not right. the car either goes left or right will not stay straight. this is a very dangerous situation because you can not take your eyes off the road for a second. this is the worst driving car i have ever driven. the dealership says it is just the new steering system and you have to get use to it. this is a real problem and needs to be fixed. this will cause accidents. hopefully nissan recognizes this quickly and comes up with a fix. i will not buy another nissan product. i avoid driving the car when possible. *tr

Driving in middle lane on expressway in chicago, when slowing down for traffic accident again i thought i was hit from behind because my car jumped. as i came to a complete stop, car jumped again and then died. towed to the dealer, was first told it was an ecm defect and would replace under warranty. then received a call that some other errors came up regarding my transmission. they are going to replace my transmission based off the error but will have to pay the deductible. the issue of the car jumping had been happening prior and they could not replicate the problem. had they not found the other errors i would have picked up the car thinking it was fixed and this could have happened again while driving 60mph on the expressway and possible serious consequences from it! i have ready many reviews about the transmission they have a problem and they don't want to recall for it! *tr

The "passenger air bag" light sporadically comes on when someone is sitting in the front passenger seat. this has happened more than once and became more obvious after an airbag recall sometime last year. it will come on while driving and then turn itself off again after 5min or so. i have researched this, and found other nissan drivers with the same vehicle, or other models report this same issue. not sure if those reporting it also did the recall or not, but it is an obvious ongoing problem. *tr

I have number of problems with my vehicle - 2014 altima sl. several times after stop and go traffic the transmission stops switching gears (speeds). it gets stuck on a first gear equivalent in cvt transmission. the fix is to restart the vehicle, obviously this could be dangerous on the road where there are no places to stop. another major problem is a head unit (navigation, radio, etc). it restarts by itself now and than, sometimes right in a middle of the highway when i'm trying to figure out what exit to take and i need the gps guidance. its absolutely unreliable. i'm not complaining about the quality of the software here that is terrible, by the way, but in any situation it should not restart by itself! another problem, as mentioned by others, is mileage. i get much less miles as advertised! this is my first and last nissan! *tr
