NHTSA Complaint #11405920 — 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA

CAN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. MULTIPLE NISSAN VEHICLES OF THIS EXACT MODEL YEAR HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. OVER 500+ COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THE SHIFT LEVER GETTING STUCK IN PARK, AND THE ISSUE IS DUE TO A WEAK PLASTIC BIT THAT BREAKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS WOULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR SOMEONE TRYING TO MOVE THEIR CAR WHEN STUCK IN TRAFFIC AFTER PUTTING IN PARK, ONLY TO REALIZE THEY CAN'T TAKE IT OUT OF PARK. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, TO WHICH QUOTED ME 400$ FOR THE REPAIR COSTS AND THEN LET ME KNOW OF MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CALLED WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS AROUND 75,000 MILES. THIS CAN BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THE NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT OWNERS HAVE HAD WITH THE EXACT MODEL.
